Summoning all sorts of equipment, saying all sorts of showing-off words, presaging that a spectacular battle was about to unfold.
The result… Jun Changxiao actually ran away with his tail between his legs.
Really very Gou Sheng!
“What did I come out from the Xingyun Continent for? Wasn’t it just to go to the Starry Sky Fortress? So there’s no point in fighting hard with those people—better to hurry on my way.” Jun Changxiao standing at the ship’s bow said.
“You just chickened out!”
The system said: “Don’t make so many excuses!”
Jun Changxiao couldn’t be bothered with it, focusing all his thoughts on the Starry Sky Fortress. As for the planes he passed by, he had no interest in visiting them either.
However, traveling through the vast universe wasn’t safe. Leaving aside the various undercurrents and meteorite zones, there were also many star bandits like the handsome guy.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Just when Jun Changxiao stopped the ship to replace the energy, several warships came from afar, carrying hundreds of martial artists. Their strength levels varied, with the leader being a middle-aged man with strength comparable to Wudi.
“This strongest level of the Xingyun Continent is very cheap in the vast universe.” Jun Changxiao thought privately.
“Nonsense.”
The system said: “The planes existing in the mortal cosmos are countless. If every plane sent out one person, that’s already a massive number.”
“That’s true.”
Jun Changxiao walked out from the cockpit and smiled: “Is there something I can help you with?”
That bandit boss who had mixed in this cosmic region for years coldly smiled: “Kid, judging by your warship’s high grade, you should understand the rules of this business, right?”
“I don’t.” Jun Changxiao said.
The bandit boss smiled: “Then today I’ll make you understand.”
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Moments later, chain explosions appeared in the starry sky. Several star warships turned to nothingness, flashing light illuminating the darkness.
“Whoosh!”
The Ancient Warship flew out.
Jun Changxiao standing at the ship’s bow held many spatial rings in his hands, shaking his head: “I was just worrying about having no place to rob, but they delivered themselves to my door.”
…
As for powerful forces like the Immeasurable Divine Palace, Gou Sheng didn’t want to provoke them for the sake of hurrying. But those bandits mixing in the cosmos—as long as they dared provoke him, he would definitely counter-rob them properly, even proactively attacking to obtain resources.
Thus.
On the road to the Starry Sky Fortress, all the star bandits that existed welcomed their nightmare.
“Here here here!”
In a desolate plane, a bandit leader who had been robbing for hundreds of years endured his severely injured body and contributed all his family assets, while behind him lay hundreds of subordinates, some killed, some playing dead.
“Swoosh!”
Jun Changxiao unceremoniously accepted it and said coldly: “If you continue the business of murder and robbery, I will come take your dog life at any time.”
“Understood, understood!”
“Whoosh—”
The Ancient Warship pierced through the void, merging into the endless universe.
“Awesome!”
Lying in a chair, Jun Changxiao grinned broadly.
He had been traveling for ten days, during which he had plundered over ten bandit bases, obtaining countless martial dao resources, especially quite a few high-grade spirit stones that could barely be used as fuel.
…
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
One day, as Jun Changxiao traveled through a certain cosmic region, he faintly heard some commotion. So he released his spiritual sense and saw flickering firelight in the extreme distance, very much like a star warship explosion scene.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Several streams of light rushed out from the flames.
These were four experts with strength no less than the handsome guy.
They were currently in a sorry state but still released spiritual energy forming a protective group, enveloping a youth about thirteen or fourteen years old.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
More streams of light flew out from the flames—dozens of them wearing unified black battle armor, with several leaders whose strength was similarly formidable.
The two groups formed a pursuit, staging a chase scene in the cosmic starry sky.
“Tsk tsk.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Quite the big scene.”
On the road he had traveled before, he had encountered experts fighting due to some grudge, but the numbers were only limited to two or three. This kind of scale and quantity was the first time he’d seen it.
Especially, the enveloped youth wore extraordinary clothes and had an extraordinary aura—clearly a person of noble status. Now being pursued by a large group of soldier-like experts, could he be a fallen son of a certain plane?
“Little brother!”
Just then, a somewhat urgent voice sounded in his ear: “This old man is willing to pay a large amount of spirit stones if young master can allow the young lord to board your warship and safely leave this place!”
The speaker was a white-haired elder protecting that young man. From the paleness on his face, it could be seen his injuries were very serious. If caught up by those behind, he would definitely be finished.
Encountering injustice on the road, drawing blade to assist.
Jun Changxiao didn’t even consider and inquired: “What quality, how many spirit stones?”
“One million ninth-grade spirit stones!” the elder transmitted, and from his extremely rapid speech, he was obviously impatient to throw the protected youth over.
No helping it—he and the other three were already injured, their warship destroyed. Wanting to shake off the pursuing troops behind was simply impossible. They could only pin their hopes on this outsider passing by in a ship.
Not afraid they were accomplices?
Things had reached this point—they could only gamble!
The elder gambled correctly—Jun Changxiao really was just passing by.
Moreover, this guy wasn’t the type to dispense justice chivalrously, but as long as sufficient sincerity was given, he would definitely be very tempted.
Gou Sheng didn’t understand what concept ninth-grade spirit stones were, but still said: “Toss him over.”
“Young lord!”
The white-haired elder said: “You must survive, must restore the glory of Tianyuan Continent!”
“Swoosh!”
As he spoke, he and the other three used all their remaining strength to throw the energy sphere wrapped around the youth, protecting him from spatial tearing, toward the warship’s flight path.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
Jun Changxiao’s large hand swept out, powerful spiritual energy transforming into a substantial large hand that caught it like catching a baseball, then forcibly pulled it over.
“Bang!”
The energy sphere was completely depleted and immediately shattered into nothingness.
The youth inside fell to the ground, then quickly stood up, rushing toward the ship’s exterior and shouting sorrowfully: “You all come up too…”
Speaking to this point, it came to an abrupt halt.
Because the four experts resolutely turned and charged toward that group of pressing black-armored experts, points of fluorescent light gradually gathering.
“Holy crap!”
Jun Changxiao’s face changed drastically: “They’re going to soul-detonate!”
“Whoosh—”
The Ancient Warship flew past at extreme speed, the energy in the cockpit instantly depleted completely.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Just one second after the warship left, the previous location immediately transmitted magnificent explosions, shaking the cosmic space violently.
“They’re crazy!”
Witnessing the giant mushroom cloud produced by soul detonation, Jun Changxiao’s expression became colorful.
“Thump!”
The youth knelt on the deck, tears streaming down like rain: “Gone… the last relatives are also gone…”
Jun Changxiao walked over, reached out to take down the two spatial rings fastened at his waist, found they indeed contained one million spirit stones stronger than the Six-Pointed Star Stones, and consoled: “Little guy, the dead cannot return to life. Please accept this with sorrow.”
“Revenge…”
The youth clenched his fists, blood flowing out, eyes filled with fury: “I will definitely avenge my father-king, will avenge the citizens of Tianyuan Continent!”
From being consumed by qi and fire, he fainted on the spot.
“Tianyuan Continent?”
This continent name made Jun Changxiao instantly think of the Tianyuan Soul-Suppressing Tower, so he murmured: “Is there a connection between the two?”
