The epic quest was completed upon passing through the thunder array and was currently in the settlement period. Jun Changxiao couldn’t wait to challenge the Ninth Rotation Jin Hao, which was indeed a bit too suicidal.
“Can husband win?” Hua Meigui’s voice sounded in his ear.
The two were still in combined state, so Gou Sheng’s eyebrows and pupils remained cyan-green. Fortunately, he had no hair, otherwise he’d definitely be mocked.
“I want to fight him one-on-one.” Jun Changxiao said: “You get out.”
Hua Meigui said: “It’s fine, he can’t detect me anyway.”
This kind of husband-wife double-teaming behavior, Jin Hao really hadn’t noticed, but even if he knew he wouldn’t care. After all, a mortal martial artist just arrived from the Lower Realm was only Void Shattering Realm level—even if a hundred came it wouldn’t be enough to pummel.
“You’ll get hurt later, don’t blame me.” Jun Changxiao said unhappily.
Hua Meigui smiled: “Are you worried I’ll get hurt? If so, then I’ll get out.”
These words nearly made Gou Sheng reflexively retort ‘who cares if you get hurt,’ but ultimately he suppressed it, changing his words: “I’m afraid you’ll hinder my performance!”
“Understood.”
Hua Meigui said: “Husband is worried I’ll get hurt, so I’ll fight him one-on-one. I’ll cheer for you from behind.”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
The cyan-green attribute surged out from Jun Changxiao’s body, then gradually coalesced into a graceful figure on the Martial Arts Arena.
Losing the Soul Clan divine ability enhancement, Gou Sheng’s eyebrows and pupils returned to normal, his strength dropping significantly.
Doesn’t matter.
He never planned to use martial dao to challenge Goldie anyway, because his strength didn’t allow it.
“Whoosh!”
Jun Changxiao took out his flying sword, flew out from Iron Bones Mountain, then stopped on a certain peak, saying: “Let’s fight here.”
Old Man Taixuan nearly cursed out loud, because the fighting location Gou Sheng chose was precisely the mountain peak he’d previously lived on. Though he didn’t plan to keep it—after all, having lived there for over a thousand years, he naturally had some feelings!
“Whoosh!”
Jin Hao drove the war chariot over, looking down from above: “Arrogant and ignorant boy, who exactly gave you the courage to dare challenge a Ninth Rotation Core Rotation Realm?”
“Empress Lingyao.” Jun Changxiao said.
Coming up and immediately being schemed by that woman, he naturally had to return the favor. Though extremely low-end and childish, what if the other party had brain problems and believed it?
Jin Hao said with interest: “You bringing your entire sect to forcibly smuggle into the Upper Realm should have been premeditated, right?”
“According to Upper Realm regulations, breaking through the Ten Thousand Tribulations Thunder Array equals legitimate ascension. Please remove those two words ‘smuggle.'” Jun Changxiao said lightly.
“Fine.”
Jin Hao jumped down from the war chariot, standing ten zhang away, hands behind his back: “You may attack now.”
Though he didn’t burst forth with his cultivation, the aura unconsciously revealed made Jun Changxiao feel tremendous pressure, so he thought: “Just how strong is this guy!”
The system said: “Crushing you would be effortless.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao said: “You’re going to stand there and let me hit you?”
“Correct.”
Jin Hao said lightly.
“Whoosh!”
Jun Changxiao suddenly stepped forward, all his spiritual energy gathering in his fist: “Then I won’t be polite!”
This punch’s burst was very strong. In the mortal cosmos it would definitely be earth-shattering, but because the Upper Realm’s spatial system was stronger, it only stirred up some wind and waves.
“Too weak.”
Jin Hao shook his head.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, the power gathered in Jun Changxiao’s right fist explosively surged, carrying very special energy!
From their encounter in the spatial tunnel until now on Phoenix Roost Immortal Mountain, Jin Hao’s every word and deed, every action toward Gou Sheng was filled with disdain and arrogance, so the conditions for One Punch Kill had long been met!
“Whoosh whoosh!”
The special secret technique from the Supreme Shop made its debut in the Upper Realm. Though due to spatial strength it didn’t cause major waves, the spreading aura was very imposing!
Jin Hao, who’d maintained an indifferent expression throughout, furrowed his brows slightly and raised his palm to meet it.
“Boom—”
In an instant, violent energy waves erupted from their area, the ground gradually cracking, the mountain body violently shaking, the stone cave that had existed for a thousand years also suffering varying degrees of damage internally.
Old Man Taixuan had no time to feel heartache over his former dwelling, his gaze locked on the dust and energy wave-filled area throughout, his eyes also becoming grave.
The punch that young fellow just threw, judging solely from the burst energy waves, had clearly exceeded Void Shattering Realm level!
“Tsk tsk.”
Jin Hao’s carefree voice came from within the dust and waves: “I didn’t expect a piece of Void Shattering Realm trash to actually possess such powerful martial arts.”
“Whoosh!”
Wind blew, the battle area becoming clearly visible.
Jun Changxiao stood in striking position before Jin Hao, the latter catching the fist with his palm.
One Punch Kill unleashed, yet unable to do anything to the opponent!
No!
At least knocked him back one step.
“…”
Jun Changxiao looked expressionless on the surface, but his inner depths had completely collapsed. The so-called one punch could kill everything—why didn’t it work after reaching the Upper Realm?
The system said helplessly: “If Host switched to a First or Second Rotation opponent, maybe you could succeed with a surprise attack, but facing this kind of top-tier Ninth Rotation, there’s really no hope of instant kill!”
“Of course.”
It hurriedly consoled: “This was obtained in the mortal realm after all. Maybe in the future Host will be lucky enough to refresh the shop and buy an Upper Realm version.”
“Hope so.”
Jun Changxiao adjusted his mentality, then…
“Boom!”
Suddenly, violent energy erupted outside Old Man Taixuan’s stone cave. Looking again, Gou Sheng’s entire person had already crashed into the distant wall, his internal meridians suffering multiple injuries. Unable to suppress it, he went ‘wah’ and spewed blood.
“Husband!”
“Sect Master!”
Hua Meigui, Li Qingyang and others immediately panicked.
Retracting the released energy waves, Jin Hao shook his head: “Boy, I don’t care how majestic and impressive you were in the Lower Realm. After coming to the Upper Realm, first learn how to be a grandson.”
The gap between Gou Sheng and him was truly too large—so large that merely without moving, merely releasing a bit of aura was enough to shock him flying and injured to the point of vomiting blood.
Hard to imagine just how terrifying the crushing force would be if a Ninth Rotation Core Rotation Realm powerhouse fully unleashed their cultivation.
“Sorry…”
Jun Changxiao straightened his back, wiping away the blood from his mouth: “This old man was born to be a grandfather. Grandsons need you to be one.”
These words infuriated Jin Hao, killing intent flashing through his eyes.
“Whoosh!”
Just then, Jun Changxiao raised his hand, a weapon resembling a war halberd appearing from thin air: “Were you the one responsible for punishing me at the Planar Battlefield?”
Jin Hao spread his hands, saying regretfully: “Unfortunately, didn’t manage to eliminate you.”
“Whoosh—”
Suddenly, an extremely dazzling brilliant light beam shot from the halberd-like weapon’s top, its speed truly lightning-fast!
“Tch.”
Jin Hao gave a cold laugh, then his muscles froze.
The light beam shooting over not only gathered extremely strong lightning attribute, it actually also contained extremely terrifying… Heavenly Dao power!
When Jun Changxiao forcibly broke through the Ten Thousand Tribulations Thunder Array with the Divine Modified Lightning Rod, he was struck a total of 2,230 times. Each tribulation lightning’s essence was extracted and gathered in the internal space, after a period of nurturing and transformation, ultimately forming a brand new energy!
“Whoosh!”
The energy light beam gathering thousands of punishing forces flew forward at lightning speed, not only precisely hitting Jin Hao but easily piercing through his chest, extending hundreds of miles outward.
The entire process was extremely plain, not even stirring up wind and waves.
Not until the afterimage gathered in midair gradually dispersed did Old Man Taixuan finally widen his eyes, open his mouth, and blurt out incredulously: “What’s going on!”
Jin Hao looked dazed, then with difficulty lowered his head.
When he saw the pierced chest, only then did he feel heart-rending, lung-splitting pain.
“You… you boy…” Jin Hao raised his head, eyes nearly splitting: “You… you wait… wait for me…”
“Whoosh!”
His words just fell when his person had already vanished on the spot.
“No way?”
Jun Changxiao held his head: “His chest was pierced through, how is he still alive!”
