Jun Changxiao had fought once with the black-robed person in the Sacred City, but because of the very unprofessional acting, he lost quite decisively.
Today was different.
So many martial artists were watching; he had to treat this seriously.
“Sect Master Jun.”
The black-robed person said: “We can begin.”
“Not taking off the black robe?”
Jun Changxiao really wanted to see this fellow’s true appearance, but because they wore the black robe and had a blocking supreme treasure obstructing him, he still couldn’t perceive anything.
The black-robed person said: “Wearing this garment gives me a sense of security.”
“……”
Jun Changxiao muttered in his heart: “Could it be they can’t see light?”
The System said: “There are countless clans in the Upper Realm, perhaps there are special existences that are allergic to sunlight.”
“Alright.”
Jun Changxiao shrugged and said: “Since you’re willing to wear this kind of loose clothing that’s disadvantageous for combat, then let’s begin now.”
Step!
His right foot stepped back one pace, striking Huang Feihong’s signature move, saying: “Please enlighten me!”
“Disciple!”
Tonggu Zhenren transmitted: “So many people are watching, as your master’s face depends on you to defend it. You absolutely must not deliberately hold back again!”
“Don’t worry.”
Jun Changxiao’s face showed rare seriousness as he said: “Your disciple will definitely go all out!”
This expression hadn’t even appeared when he single-handedly fought the Ten Great Immortal Sects, which was enough to show that to give his master face, he was going to get serious!
Many people thought that the shameless Dog Sheng was the most dangerous.
Actually?
The serious Dog Sheng was the most dangerous!
“Please!”
“Whoosh——”
After greeting, the black-robed person charged forward in a bent-over, hands-behind-back manner.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Energy different from True Spirit Power erupted from their entire body, rapidly rippling through space, producing layer after layer of visible undulations.
Tonggu Zhenren and Qingwei Zhenren were astonished.
This movement technique, these attributes, completely didn’t belong to the Upper Realm’s martial dao system!
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Just at this moment, the black-robed person leaped up, their body instantly splitting into thousands of duplicates extremely similar to the original in midair, then all bringing both hands together, gathering brilliant radiant light.
“Stars Return to Unity!”
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
In an instant, countless duplicates blasted out the light in their hands, and while shooting forward, they merged together, forming an extremely massive shockwave.
“True-Seeking Realm?”
Tonggu Zhenren and Qingwei Zhenren roughly judged the black-robed person’s current strength based on the energy intensity, but didn’t dare be certain, because they had just started. Perhaps this was only probing.
“Whoosh——”
The imposing shockwave seemed to pierce through the void, directly locking onto Jun Changxiao.
He shook his head and said: “Too weak.”
This wasn’t deliberately showing off, but rather…
“Boom!”
Suddenly, Jun Changxiao threw a punch, directly shattering the incoming energy wave. The entire process could be called effortless—even with violent winds wreaking havoc, his hairstyle didn’t even get messed up.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
The black-robed person seemed to have anticipated this. While the opponent was breaking the attack, ten thousand duplicates had already appeared above him, forming complex hand seals from various angles.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
In an instant, brilliant energy fell like bombs on the area where Jun Changxiao stood. The seemingly solid black iron ground gradually crumbled and caved in.
“Guhong Zhenren’s disciple is quite capable!”
Martial artists from all directions exclaimed in admiration.
In their view, being able to instantly approach Sect Master Jun and launch a wild bombardment meant even if they lost, it wouldn’t be disgraceful.
“Whoosh——”
Just at this moment, from the energy explosion zone, Jun Changxiao flew out, his right hand like a large pincer, directly locking onto the black-robed person’s throat.
“Bang bang bang!”
With the original seized, the ten thousand duplicates collapsed.
“Plane’s Child?” Jun Changxiao said: “Nothing special.”
“Boom!”
The black-robed person was directly slammed to the ground. The surrounding black iron ground within several hundred zhang instantly caved in.
“Good!”
Tonggu Zhenren shouted excitedly.
Although he deeply believed Jun Changxiao could defeat the black-robed person, after the match began he was still quite worried—worried that kid would deliberately act against him. Now seeing him perform extremely seriously, even showing no mercy, this made him very gratified. He looked proudly at Guhong Zhenren and said: “You’re definitely going to lose.”
“……”
Guhong Zhenren fell silent.
If his disciple hadn’t repeatedly pleaded, he absolutely wouldn’t have come to this appointment.
“Swish!”
The black-robed person jumped up from the ground. One could clearly see both hands trembling.
Being grabbed like a little chicken by Jun Changxiao and slammed down directly from high altitude caused multiple meridian injuries. Fortunately, the black robe concealed their face so the pained expression couldn’t be seen.
“Admit defeat.”
Jun Changxiao said: “You’re not my match.”
He performed very seriously, but always maintained just the right measure. Otherwise, if he fully erupted, the opponent would definitely have been finished long ago.
Master and Guhong Zhenren didn’t get along, but they had no deep-seated hatred. Moreover, this was just a match similar to sparring. Stopping at the right point was enough—there was no need to take a life.
“I apologize.”
The black-robed person said: “I never actively admit defeat.”
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao appeared in front of them, directly grabbing their collar and said: “Then I’ll make you passively admit defeat.”
“Thousand Mountains Dao Pure Burst!”
“Boom——”
The combat zone suddenly exploded, rolling up billowing white smoke.
“Cough cough!”
Jun Changxiao walked out from within, choking until tears nearly flowed out. As for the black-robed person he had restrained earlier, they had already disappeared.
“Where are they?”
Everyone looked bewildered.
“Swish!”
Suddenly, Jun Changxiao darted forward in a flash, his large hand directly piercing through the void, yanking out the black-robed person hiding within, then pressing them to the ground with a “bang,” saying: “Stop with all this flashy nonsense, it’s useless!”
“……”
“Will you admit defeat or not?”
“No!”
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Jun Changxiao directly grabbed the black-robed person, slamming them heavily from left to right, from right to left, making martial artists from all directions unable to bear watching.
Guhong Zhenren’s face looked terrible, his heart aching unbearably.
Admittedly, he brought this Plane’s Child to the Upper Realm hoping they could fight for him, thereby defeating Tonggu Zhenren. But after ten years together, they naturally developed familial affection.
“This disciple of mine doesn’t know his own strength.” Tonggu Zhenren said: “If you don’t want your disciple to suffer, you’d better quickly persuade them to admit defeat.”
Guhong Zhenren said in a deep voice: “They actively wanted to come to this appointment. Victory or defeat is for them to decide. I can’t make the decision.”
……
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Jun Changxiao slammed them back and forth several more times. Seeing that fellow’s black robe still remained impenetrable, making it difficult to see their appearance, he reached out and grabbed it, saying: “This Sect Master will see today whether you, this Plane’s Child, are male or female, human or demon!”
“Swish!”
With a wave of his large hand, the black robe flew off.
Tonggu Zhenren and Guhong Zhenren both released their spiritual sense to look.
Having lost the clothing’s disguise, the black-robed person’s appearance finally surfaced—about twenty-something years old, black hair disheveled, skin white and smooth as pearls.
“A woman?”
Tonggu Zhenren’s eyes widened.
The expression even more exaggerated belonged to Jun Changxiao.
He sat astride the person’s body. After seeing the appearance clearly, he was dumbstruck, difficult to believe, his eyes bulging as he said: “Xi Jingxuan!?”
That’s right.
Guhong Zhenren’s disciple who had been brutally crushed—from their appearance, it was indeed the Wondrous Flower Palace’s Palace Master!
“Sect Master Jun…” Hearing Jun Changxiao call out her name, on her pale face that made one’s heart ache, she forced out a smile with difficulty and said: “So you… still remember my name…”
Dog Sheng immediately panicked. His hands grasped her shoulders, shaking vigorously and saying: “Hang in there! You must hang in there!”
“Pff!”
