The Planar Battlefield’s stronghold barriers were set up by the Upper Realm. In terms of defensive strength, no power from the mortal world could break them.
Jia Haojie and Elder Shan relied on this point to dare to challenge Jun Changxiao.
Come on.
Come in and hit us.
It wasn’t until Jun Changxiao, fully armed, stopped and destroyed the great hall representing their plane’s dignity with one spear thrust that the two realized he… had actually come in!
In an instant, Jia Haojie’s toughness and backbone vanished without a trace, immediately following his heart and choosing to compensate with money!
Since he’d wimped out and was willing to compensate.
Jun Changxiao definitely wouldn’t deliberately make things difficult, so he demanded twenty million.
However, seeing the other party agree without hesitation, he couldn’t help but collapse internally, “Did I ask for too little!”
“Too little.”
The system said, “Vast Continent is in the same first-tier as Nine Heavens Continent after all.”
“…”
Words spoken, saliva spat—Jun Changxiao definitely… at worst he’d lick it back up, saying, “Add in the pet appearance labor fee and equipment usage depreciation fee—your continent needs to add another ten million.”
“Ah?”
Jia Haojie instantly became stupid.
Twenty million spirit stones was already a lot. Taking it out would definitely hurt bones and tendons. Adding another ten million would absolutely mean bankruptcy!
“Won’t give?”
Jun Changxiao’s face darkened.
A terrifying aura howled and erupted. All Vast Continent martial artists within the stronghold had veins bulging, sweat pouring down.
Gou Sheng was now at Martial Saint Great Perfection. Breaking through further would be Martial Emperor. His powerful strength absolutely couldn’t be matched by several Heaven-rank experts combined, so with just a little pressure, he could make this place flow with rivers of blood!
Why did Jia Haojie wimp out so extremely fast?
It was because once the stronghold lost its function and this guy entered their territory, everyone including himself would become weeds he could mow down at will.
Moreover.
There was also the Rose Empress.
If this husband-wife duo actually caused havoc in their stronghold, before the second day arrived, Vast Continent could be removed from the Planar Battlefield’s roster.
“I’ll give!”
Under the威压 and威胁, Jia Haojie could only continue to choose compromise.
Knowing this day would come, why act that way before?
Actually, he couldn’t be blamed for his previous tough stance. After all, no one would have thought this guy actually had a Space-Time Worm that could easily break through spatial barriers!
Compromise saves quite a bit of money.
Don’t compromise, and wait for that guy to extort you into bankruptcy.
These two sentences came from Mo Shangsheng’s mouth, and now it seemed he’d hit the nail on the head!
Taking out thirty million spirit stones of a level not inferior to Six-Pointed Star Stones, Jia Haojie could truly declare bankruptcy.
As for Elder Shan, throughout the entire process of the sect master compromising and paying, he kept himself transparent. The iron backbone he’d displayed in the earlier meeting had long since vanished without a trace.
“Hey.”
Jun Changxiao looked at him, “How about we go outside for a fight?”
Having broken through to Martial Saint Great Perfection, though he felt the power was much stronger than before, he hadn’t fully unleashed it yet. Testing it with a Heaven-rank expert of the same level should be pretty good.
“…”
Elder Shan covered his chest with one hand, his face pale, “Earlier when I exchanged one move with Sect Master Jun, my internal meridians were damaged. I truly cannot fight.”
This statement had two meanings: one was admitting that Gou Sheng’s strength surpassed his own; the other was that he was injured.
Worthy of being an expert among experts—even his wimping out was refreshingly unconventional.
“Alright then.”
After counting the thirty million spirit stones, Jun Changxiao bowed, “Jun won’t disturb you further. I’ll take my leave now.”
Don’t let this guy’s calm demeanor fool you—inside he was so excited he could practically fly. After all, so many spirit stones comparable to Six-Pointed Star Stones could be used for sect development, easily raising their overall level another notch!
…
“Thud!”
After Jun Changxiao left the stronghold, Jia Haojie finally couldn’t help but collapse.
In Vast Continent, he was considered quite wealthy. Now, having handed over thirty million spirit stones, he instantly fell from top tycoon to beggar.
“Sect Master…”
Elder Shan came over to help him up.
“Get lost!”
Jia Haojie roared, “Get lost!”
If not for listening to your dogshit suggestion and choosing not to compromise, how the hell would I have lost so many spirit stones!
No good…
My heart hurts too much, tearing and splitting apart!
…
First-tier Vast Continent had completely fallen into Jun Changxiao’s hands today, losing both money and face.
When this matter spread, it would definitely stir up enormous waves.
Resolving grudges with money was already pretty good.
You should know that just Elder Shan directly attacking without warning was enough reason for Jun Changxiao to bloodbath the entire Vast Continent.
“Split it evenly.”
On the road to Sharo Continent, the Rose Empress spoke up.
Jun Changxiao said angrily, “I used the Space-Time Worm to break the stronghold barrier, and I asked for the money myself. Why should I split it evenly with you!”
The Rose Empress stopped and said, “In a world where the strong prey on the weak, you actually ask me ‘why’—what an enormous joke!”
“…”
This detestable woman was actually copying his words!
Whatever, whatever.
Jun Changxiao took a few steps back, maintaining distance from her, and struck a Wong Fei-hung pose, “You and I fight one battle. If I win, split it evenly.”
The previous spirit stones weren’t too high quality, so there was no need to fight over such small gains. But Vast Continent’s spirit stones were even stronger—he absolutely wouldn’t take out fifteen million!
Moreover.
The Rose Empress’s strength was formidable.
He wanted to see if, without using his trump cards, he could press her face to the ground and rub it vigorously.
The system collapsed, “With Host’s mentality, I really can’t understand what aspect of him the Soul Clan’s most supreme empress has taken a liking to?”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“Good.”
Green attributes enveloped the Rose Empress’s entire body, converging into battle armor, “If I win, split evenly. If I lose, all the spirit stones are mine.”
“Fine!”
After Jun Changxiao finished speaking, he immediately realized something was wrong and roared, “Isn’t what you just said the same as before when you said ‘if I lose, I’ll be your servant; if you lose, you’ll be my master’?”
The Rose Empress smiled, “You remember things from the past so clearly—husband truly has me in his heart.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao said in exasperation, “Cut the crap. If you win, all the spirit stones are yours. If I win, all the spirit stones are mine!”
“Fine.”
“Come, battle!”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
The cultivation of Sword and Martial Double Saint Great Perfection instantly erupted, immediately forming surging waves of air currents.
However, because he used too much force, his wig was immediately blown away, revealing his shiny bald head.
Jun Changxiao: “…”
Rose Empress: “…”
“Hahahaha!”
The system’s unrestrained laughter transmitted to his ears.
Though Jun Changxiao was devastated by the wig’s poor adhesion, he couldn’t worry about that now. His fists gathered explosive power, ready to blast forward at any moment.
The Rose Empress also became serious, because her husband’s current strength was formidable.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
Two powerful auras permeated the battlefield, and the air gradually became extremely murderous.
A spectacular husband-wife battle was about to begin on the Planar Battlefield.
However, just as the two were about to make their move, the firmament suddenly gathered rolling dark clouds, and a heavy voice transmitted: “Jun Changxiao of Stellar Fall Continent violated regulations by entering the Planar Battlefield and used illegal means to break Vast Continent’s stronghold barrier. He will receive the most severe Upper Realm sanctions!”
