“Huff! Huff!”
After the Fortress Master unleashed a martial technique called ‘Immeasurable Mahayana Seal’, his entire body seemed drained, nearly collapsing to the ground as he could barely stand.
This supreme secret technique from the Upper Realm’s Boundary Hall, though greatly modified to be suitable for the Lower Realm, was still extremely difficult to execute.
However.
Its power was formidable.
The tattooed man who had dealt with the Boundary Hall before had witnessed it, and now with himself imprisoned in the Lower Realm with his strength greatly reduced, trying to withstand such a technique would surely mean death!
Thus, when the palm seal carrying supreme majesty pressed down, he had already spread his arms wide, welcoming death with a smile, until… the smile gradually froze, until he saw Jun Changxiao clad in the Great Sage Set, catching it and roaring: “You want to kill me? No way!”
“Boom!”
Enhanced by the set’s power, his strength erupted to its limit, and that palm seal that seemed to come from the Upper Realm was immediately thrust upward and shattered in midair, transforming into scattered fragments of light.
The tattooed man was completely dumbfounded.
During his imprisonment in hell, he had tried many methods of suicide, but none had any effect. Only this time when the opponent executed the Boundary Hall’s secret technique did he finally experience that long-missed sensation of kicking the bucket, yet… that kid broke through it!
“Ah ah ah!”
The tattooed man clutched his head, roaring: “You’ve ruined my good fortune!”
“Boom!”
Suddenly, Jun Changxiao appeared before him, and with an extremely graceful backflip combined with a sweeping kick that hit the opponent squarely in the right cheek, directly kicking him flying away while saying: “If you’re mentally ill, go take your medicine, don’t mess with me here!”
“Wah!”
The tattooed man crashed into the wall, then spat out blood, his gaze burning as he said: “This guy is so strong, he’ll definitely kill me!”
After kicking away this troublesome fellow, Jun Changxiao turned around, arrogant as the Great Sage himself, and declared: “Today I’ll break through this damn fortress and make all so-called laws turn to dust!”
“…”
The Fortress Master’s face became exceptionally ugly.
The Boundary Hall secret technique he had executed was actually caught easily by him—this kid’s strength must already be at the peak of the Mid-tier level!
Actually, he guessed right.
Jun Changxiao, having advanced as both Sword Emperor and Martial Emperor, indeed possessed overall strength at the peak Mid-tier level, which is why all twelve patrol envoys had been crushed.
“Kid!”
The Fortress Master said coldly: “First reflect on your actions here!”
“Whoosh—”
As soon as the words fell, he vanished into thin air.
“Running?”
Jun Changxiao flicked his cape, about to give chase, but before he could take a step, explosive power suddenly surged from behind, so he turned and swung both fists to meet it.
“Boom—”
“Thud thud thud!”
Under the violent collision of forces, Dog Leftover staggered back more than ten steps before barely stabilizing himself, his gaze filled with disbelief.
“Kid.”
The tattooed man slouched his shoulders, bent his waist, lowered his head, chains scraping the ground, as if the voice came from his throat: “Your opponent is this grandpa here!”
“…”
Jun Changxiao frowned.
This guy who had been attacked quite a bit by both him and the Fortress Master during the chaotic battle—how could he still stand up, how could he look completely fine!
“Don’t forget.”
The system reminded: “This is a major criminal from the Upper Realm.”
Jun Changxiao thought of the Black and White Twin Fiends—those two came from the Upper Realm, and even after being demonized and wildly beaten by him, they still suffered no lasting damage.
“Damn it.”
“Are all people from the Upper Realm this thick-skinned!”
“Kid!”
The tattooed man dragged his chains forward step by step, eyes gleaming with ‘love’ through his disheveled hair, saying: “You now have two choices—one is to be killed by me, the second is to kill me. Make your choice.”
“Very sorry.”
Jun Changxiao said indifferently: “I don’t want to die.”
“Very good!”
Walking to about several zhang away, the tattooed man directly lay down on the ground, striking a sexy sleeping pose, saying: “Then come kill me, I absolutely won’t resist!”
“…”
Jun Changxiao’s facial expression became spectacular.
Asking someone else to kill himself—even Uncle Tat had never heard such a strange request.
“Friend!”
Jun Changxiao clenched his fist and shook his head, his gaze cold: “You really are despicable enough.”
“Just average.”
The tattooed man crooked his finger, urging: “Hurry up and kill me, I can’t wait any longer!”
A grown man lying on the ground saying he can’t wait any longer—this made Jun Changxiao’s anger soar. He directly raised his hand, gathering blazing flames, and roared: “Then I’ll fulfill your wish!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
The Crimson Firmament Flame Slash at full power directly slashed down, instantly igniting the temperature within the ninth layer of hell.
However, with an explosive sound, though the tattooed man looked disheveled and covered in soot, he still was completely fine, and instead roared: “Did you not eat your meal!”
“Your grandpa’s!”
Jun Changxiao was furious beyond measure. He gathered power in both fists and feet, charged directly at the opponent’s face, and began wildly pummeling and stomping.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
With the tattooed man not resisting, Dog Leftover went on a rampage for a full ten-plus minutes, using various weapons until the spiritual energy in both spiritual cores was mostly depleted, only then did he stop, gasping for breath.
In the frame, that Upper Realm major criminal who was dead-set on dying had been beaten into the dirt until he was almost like a cartoon character.
Surely he’s dead this time, right?
No!
He wasn’t!
Just as Jun Changxiao was catching his breath, the tattooed man raised his index finger from where he was embedded in the dirt, then gently waved it left and right, as if telling the other party—you’re not good enough!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Dog Leftover was livid. He raised his foot again and stomped viciously on the opponent’s face while cursing: “I’ve never seen such a despicable person in my entire life!”
The system said: “I have!”
……
Jun Changxiao was human after all, and having fought the Fortress Master and withstood the Immeasurable Mahayana Seal, he had consumed considerable spiritual energy, so after the frenzied assault, he sat down cross-legged, panting heavily, to circulate his cultivation method and recuperate.
The tattooed man was embedded in the deep pit, his entire person… the miserable state from the beating could no longer be described as ‘human’, completely comparable to rotten mud.
“That martial technique the Fortress Master just executed was powerful, but he himself also seemed to be at the end of his strength, and should also be recuperating at this moment.” Jun Changxiao thought silently: “I must recover one step ahead of him, then destroy the Star Fortress…”
Suddenly, his eyes widened, because points of light like fireflies appeared in the prison, gradually gathering before the half-dead tattooed man.
Then… a miracle occurred!
The man’s skin, which didn’t have a single intact inch, began to slowly recover, until it became smooth and lustrous.
“Holy crap!”
Jun Changxiao exclaimed in shock: “This guy can self-heal?”
“Crack crack crack!”
After his skin recovered to perfect condition, the tattooed man stood up from the pit, raised his hand to grab his crooked head, snapped it back into place with a crack, his eyes rolling around several times, on the verge of tears as he said: “Why the hell am I still alive!”
“…”
Jun Changxiao nearly spat out blood.
From those few short words, he could hear the opponent’s deep disappointment and dejection, as if every minute and second of living in this world was polluting the air!
“Bro!”
“Big bro!”
The tattooed man knelt on the ground, bent his waist, lowered his head, covered his face, and with a sobbing voice said: “I beg you, please kill me!”
