BOOM—

A heavy muffled sound came from the sparring grounds. The dust on the ground was swept up by the air waves, obstructing visibility!

“Terrifying!”

“Truly worthy of weapons forged by Master Fan!”

“This strike from Alliance Master Qin has overwhelming power and force. If it were a Wuzong of equal level without powerful defensive equipment, they’d absolutely struggle to withstand it!”

“If Sect Master Jun can’t dodge, he’ll be in trouble!”

Although visibility was obscured by dust, the spectating martial artists had just seen that when Alliance Master Qin attacked, Jun Changxiao was still trying to lift his blade.

A blade he himself summoned that he couldn’t lift—was he risking his life as a joke?

Very soon.

The dust dispersed, and all became visible!

Jun Changxiao still stood in the original spot, his face contorted, but the greatsword had been lifted. The blade handle had blocked Qin Haoran’s Soul-Seizing Twin Maces.

Wang Donglin frowned and said: “The twin maces carry a trembling force. To block them head-on like this, Sect Master Jun’s heart and spirit should have been affected.”

Xie Guangkun and Ai Shangni immediately became worried.

If the heart and spirit were damaged, it would definitely affect combat ability. Sect Master Jun was already struggling to win—this was undoubtedly adding frost to snow!

“Hmph.”

The Changdao Sect Master sneered: “That kid’s blade may be good, but how can it compare to Alliance Master Qin’s Soul-Seizing Twin Maces?”

“From his contorted expression, his heart and spirit were clearly eroded during that collision just now. His arms are probably numb from the震 right now.”

The alliance powerhouses guessed correctly.

Jun Changxiao’s arms were indeed a bit numb now, but it wasn’t from being struck—it was because… the blade was too heavy!

My Lord Guan!

Isn’t your weapon supposed to weigh eighty-two catties!

How come holding it feels like Brother Monkey’s Sea-Calming Divine Needle!

The system said: “After divine modification, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade has transcended the category of normal weapons.”

Fine!

Jun Changxiao gritted his teeth, withdrew the blade and retreated several steps, maintaining a certain distance from Qin Haoran, then began gasping for breath.

Although the Green Dragon Crescent Blade was heavy, after blocking the Soul-Seizing Twin Maces’ strike, it also neutralized the trembling force!

If so, then after Jun Changxiao blocked the twin maces head-on, his contorted expression wasn’t from his heart and spirit being injured at all—it was from the exhaustion of lifting the blade!

So then, how did he suddenly manage to lift it?

Because when he said “damn,” he crushed the Strength Amplification Talisman, and his strength instantly surged 5 times.

At peak Wutu with 5 times strength enhancement, he could barely wield the Green Dragon Crescent Blade—showing just how heavy the weapon truly was!

It was precisely because it was heavy that it had such an imposing and magnificent aura, and could neutralize the trembling force of the Soul-Seizing Twin Maces.

If it were the Initial-Grade Cold Edge Sword, forget whether it would be shattered—the person would definitely be震得围着演武场嘴歪眼斜转圈圈了 (shocked into spinning around the sparring grounds with crooked mouth and slanted eyes).

“Sect Master Jun looks very tired.”

“Seems like the blade’s weight isn’t light!”

“A blade needs to be wielded freely. If he’s lifting it with such difficulty, summoning it is useless.”

As everyone discussed, Qin Haoran pressed his advantage relentlessly, wielding the Soul-Seizing Twin Maces to attack again. This time he infused spiritual energy within and swung down, instantly creating two golden rays!

“Golden Radiance Myriad Methods!”

Whoosh whoosh!

The Soul-Seizing Twin Maces struck thunderously!

Under the infusion of spiritual energy, the trailing golden rays shone brilliantly, causing all spectating martial artists to hold their breath!

Even martial techniques were being used.

Alliance Master Qin was getting serious!

Wang Donglin’s expression became grave as he thought: “Spiritual energy combined with weapon and martial technique—the force has reached at least two hundred thousand catties!”

Two hundred thousand catties.

For Wutu martial artists who could only burst with ten or twenty thousand, they couldn’t even imagine it!

“Whoosh whoosh!”

The twin maces carried golden light as they struck down. The pressure of force once again stirred up gale winds, causing several strands of black hair on Jun Changxiao’s forehead to dance wildly.

Damn it!

This master will fight you to the death!

Sect Master Jun gripped the blade with both hands, using every ounce of his strength, infused spiritual power into the blade, his muscles and veins bulging, and roared angrily: “Peach Garden Oath of Brotherhood!”

“Whoosh—”

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade was swung up. Though the speed was slightly slow, it still dragged out a crescent-moon-like green blade shadow!

“Boom!”

The sound of metal colliding rang out!

“Thud thud thud!” Qin Haoran holding the twin maces explosively retreated. His tiger’s mouth was震得发麻 (shocked numb). Where the weapon had been struck by the green blade light, a notch appeared!

How… how is this possible!

These are superior-grade weapons forged by Master Fan, and they’re blunt weapons too. Their hardness far exceeds blades and swords, yet they were chopped with a notch in one strike!

Martial artists from all sides were also dumbfounded.

“Swish!”

Right at this moment, Jun Changxiao charged forward using Ghost Vertical Step, veins bulging on his neck and forehead, shouting: “Warming Wine and Beheading Hua Xiong!”

“Whoosh—”

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade struck down again!

Relying on Ghost Vertical Step’s rapid approach and inertia, the blade speed was considerably faster than before!

“Boom!”

The sound of metal collision rang out!

Qin Haoran blocked it head-on with his weapon, his body once again震得 (shocked into) retreating. Another Soul-Seizing Mace now bore blade marks!

“Body in Cao’s Camp, Heart with Han!”

“Boom!”

“Riding Alone for a Thousand Li!”

“Boom!”

“Going to the Feast with a Single Blade!”

“Boom!”

“…”

Everyone’s expressions were dazed.

They had never heard such strange blade technique move names!

These weren’t blade technique moves.

They were the various deeds of Lord Guan from Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

After consecutively slashing three blade strikes, Jun Changxiao dragged ghost shadows, circling to the left side of the constantly retreating Qin Haoran, leaping into the air, lifting the blade and fiercely slashing down, roaring angrily:

“Loyal Heart and Righteous Gall, Guan Yunzhang!”

“Boom!”

Crack! Crack!

After enduring the fifth blade strike, Qin Haoran’s Soul-Seizing Twin Maces were directly severed clean through!

“Hiss!”

Witnessing this, everyone simultaneously gasped in shock.

Superior-grade weapons forged by Master Fan! Under the enhancement of a Wuzong’s spiritual power, severed like chopsticks in just five blade strikes—this was terrifying to the extreme!

“Swish—”

Although the Soul-Seizing Twin Maces were broken, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade’s remaining power continued striking down!

“Not good!” Qin Haoran’s face paled in horror. Disregarding his weapon and composure, he hastily deployed his body technique to flee.

Though his movements were quick, he still couldn’t escape the blade light that struck first. With a “splurt” sound, his back was immediately slashed with a deep, long wound, fresh blood spraying everywhere.

The explosive imposing and magnificent force震得 (shocked) Qin Haoran into charging wildly forward, finally exiting the sparring grounds and falling face-first to the ground.

This was running fast.

Otherwise, being struck head-on by the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, his body would inevitably have been split in two!

“Clang clang.”

The two severed sections of iron maces fell to the ground.

“Swish!”

Jun Changxiao planted the Green Dragon Crescent Blade upright before him. The ground震得凹陷 (was震 into a depression/震 and became sunken).

His other hand stroked his chin as if caressing five strands of long beard, his proud aura soaring as he said: “I yield.”

“…”

The entire sparring grounds fell silent.

Alliance Master Qin not only lost, his weapons were also severed, and his back was slashed—this was simply too frightening!

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing the side mission, obtaining 200 sect contribution points.”

“Ding! Sect contribution points: 500/500.”

“Swish!”

Jun Changxiao stored the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his spatial ring, cupped his hands and said: “Alliance Master Qin, coming to your sect today to spar and discuss the Dao, Jun has benefited immensely. I won’t disturb you further and will take my leave first!”

All disciples victorious, himself victorious too.

Prestige, banknotes, contribution points—all obtained.

There was no meaning in staying here any longer, so he gracefully led his disciples away.

Xie Guangkun, Ai Shangni, and others hastily followed.

They worried the Haoqi Sect couldn’t swallow this resentment and would block the gate to prevent them from leaving.

Watching Jun Changxiao lead his disciples as they gradually disappeared from view, the alliance powerhouses and martial artists from all sides had stiff expressions on their faces, a dreamlike sense of unreality rising in their hearts.

The Haoqi Sect had fallen today—fallen completely and thoroughly!

They didn’t even need to consider that when news spread throughout Qingyang Prefecture, it would definitely cause tremendous waves. At that time, the Tiegu Sect’s name would resound throughout all eight cities!

“Sigh!”

The alliance powerhouses sighed with regret one after another.

Using spiritual energy to seal his wound and stop the blood flow, Qin Haoran clenched his fists tightly and roared unwillingly: “Jun Changxiao, my Haoqi Sect and your Tiegu Sect are now irreconcilable enemies!”
