The dueling platform was extremely sacred. Martial artists who stepped onto it would harbor reverence in their hearts. However, after Jun Changxiao went up, he first picked his nose, then combed his hair—completely overturning their worldview!

“Ahhh!”

Wei Yinu roared again.

Just as he was about to unleash the force he’d been building for so long, that guy was combing his hair!

What was this?

This was naked contempt for himself!

Couldn’t tolerate it, absolutely couldn’t tolerate it!

“Swish!”

Wei Yinu stepped forward, both fists grasping the condensed energy spheres, his entire face twisted to the extreme as he said, “Die!”

“Whoosh whoosh—”

Both fists struck together, carrying cold and severe momentum!

The martial artists closer to the Grudge Platform’s faces changed dramatically. They hastily retreated several steps, afraid of being affected by the air waves.

“Too terrifying!”

“This force must be at least twenty-five hundred catties!”

“Even fierce beasts comparable to Wutu level couldn’t withstand it!”

Everyone was so shocked their hair stood on end!

However, when they looked at Jun Changxiao, they discovered he had just finished combing his hair and was leisurely tucking the wooden comb into his belt.

Elder Wei’s side was charging over with tremendous momentum, while his side remained calm as still water.

Brother, you’re truly steady!

“Swish!”

Just then, Jun Changxiao raised both hands, meeting the incoming fists head-on.

Everyone couldn’t help but wonder—was Sect Leader Jun about to make a move?

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Explosive sounds rang out, slightly deafening.

The martial artists from various sects looked through the oncoming air waves, their eyeballs nearly popping out.

On the platform, Jun Changxiao stood in place, his raised palms catching Wei Yinu’s fists, his face still wearing that unconcerned smile.

“No way!”

“He can catch this too?”

“Could the quality of his Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt martial technique have already reached high-tier Common-grade?!”

Everyone was shocked beyond measure.

Wei Yinu maintained his striking posture, saying in disbelief, “How… how is this possible…”

Executing the Radiant Magnificent Brilliant Golden Stone Fist and building it up—this was absolutely his current strongest burst, yet he easily caught it again!

At that moment, Elder Wei’s heart nearly shattered.

“Hey.”

Jun Changxiao said, “Use whatever other moves you have.”

“Huff huff!”

Wei Yinu breathed rapidly, his face twisted.

“Elder Wei can’t continue!”

“Although high-grade martial techniques are powerful, they also consume high spiritual power!”

“Earlier’s wild bombardment already consumed quite a bit. Now executing the fist technique again, he’s probably exhausted.”

…

“Exhausted?”

Elder Wei retreated several steps, lowered his head covering his face, and once again let out “hahaha” laughter.

Laughing again?

Everyone looked bewildered.

“Brat!”

Elder Wei gradually raised his head, one hand lifting up, saying sinisterly, “You think this elder only has martial techniques?”

“Whoosh whoosh!”

A large blade appeared out of thin air.

Clearly, he had summoned his weapon from his spatial ring.

“Boom!”

The large blade landed on the ground, the stone slabs trembling lightly.

“This blade is very heavy!”

“Look quickly—the blade has the character ‘Fan’ carved on it. It’s a weapon forged by Master Fan!”

Everyone exclaimed in shock.

Master Fan, a top forging master of the Xingyun Continent!

He had forged countless weapons in his lifetime, each one regarded as treasure by the continent’s martial artists!

“Swish!”

Wei Yinu held the blade horizontally, slowly and methodically wiping it with his sleeve while saying proudly, “Wei here spent a fortune to obtain this blade and has always treasured it like life itself. Today is the first time I’m revealing it before others.”

Jun Changxiao pointed at the blade and smiled, saying, “There’s a notch on the blade edge—clearly a defective product.”

Wei Yinu roared furiously, “Weapons forged by Master Fan, even with flaws, are extremely precious. Don’t use words like ‘defective product’ to insult it!”

Jun Changxiao was speechless.

He was just speaking the truth—was it necessary to be this furious?

He didn’t understand that in the Xingyun Continent, weapons were extremely important to martial artists. Master Fan’s weapons were especially precious and couldn’t tolerate the slightest blasphemy.

“Brat.”

Wei Yinu’s gaze turned cold as he said, “Today I’ll use your blood to christen my Golden Dragon Blade!”

“Oh.”

Jun Changxiao said while picking his nose.

Wei Yinu’s self-respect was once again severely whipped. He gripped the Golden Dragon Blade tightly, emitting a low voice: “Intolerable, absolutely intolerable…”

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Powerful spiritual power diffused out, swirling around the Golden Dragon Blade, instantly erupting with heavy aura.

“Elder Wei is about to strike!”

“This blade must be Common-grade. Infused with a martial artist’s spiritual power, slaying a Wutu should be effortless!”

“Sect Leader Jun is in danger!”

…

“Swish!”

Wei Yinu pointed his blade at Jun Changxiao, saying coldly, “Bring out your weapon!”

Weapon against weapon was the rule on the dueling platform. If one relied on having a weapon to bully someone unarmed, they would be mocked and scorned by their peers.

“It’s just a small disagreement.”

Jun Changxiao said, “Resolving it with fists is fine. Why resort to blades and weapons?”

“…”

Everyone’s lips twitched.

Sect Leader Jun, he’s resorting to blades and weapons precisely because he can’t resolve you with fists!

“Enough nonsense!”

Wei Yinu said almost roaring, “Bring out your weapon and fight to the death with me!”

He was furious, he was stifled—he wanted to slash the Iron Bone Sect leader to death with one blade strike to fiercely vent his frustration!

“Alright.”

Jun Changxiao raised his hand.

“Clang.”

Lu Qianqian drew her sword.

Jun Changxiao shook his head, saying, “I have a sword.”

Have a sword?

Lu Qianqian looked completely astonished.

“Whoosh—”

Below Jun Changxiao’s palm, a sword appeared out of thin air.

The scabbard had two pearls embedded in it, scattering dazzling blue light under the sunlight’s illumination.

Lu Qianqian said gravely, “This sword is extraordinary!”

“Tch.”

Wei Yinu said disdainfully, “A sword is a weapon for killing enemies. Embedding jewels on the scabbard is nothing but decoration.”

The martial artists from various sects deeply agreed.

What mattered in a sword was sharpness. No matter how well-decorated the scabbard, it was just something literati used to appear elegant.

“You’ve revealed your weapon, so this elder will strike!”

Wei Yinu gripped the blade hilt with both hands, pouring his last spiritual energy into the blade body, immediately stimulating an even heavier aura!

“Desert Blade Technique!”

He shouted coldly, veins bulging on both arms. The Golden Dragon Blade raised high, he suddenly slashed toward Jun Changxiao!

The martial artists from various sects opened their mouths wide, because in their field of vision, a blade energy about two meters long burst forth close to the ground!

“Crack crack crack—”

Wherever it passed, the stone slabs showed indentations!

“Hiss!”

Everyone gasped.

Elder Wei not only had a blade forged by Master Fan, but also specialized blade techniques. The power of this strike could probably pulverize a Wutu directly!

The next second.

Everyone looked at Jun Changxiao.

Facing such a powerful blade strike, how would he deal with it? Would he continue to take it head-on with Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt?

“Clang!”

Jun Changxiao gripped the hilt and swiftly drew the sword.

“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

The Nine Layered Waves Sword’s first form, second form, third form… In the blink of an eye, he executed eight forms consecutively, and within the layered waves, slashed out—the ninth form!

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Eight layers of waves gathered together, transforming into a silk-like sword energy flying forth.

From unsheathing to striking, the entire process was extremely fast!

When everyone caught sight of the condensed sword energy, it had already met the heavy blade energy!

“Bang!”

The blade energy was directly shattered!

The sword energy’s momentum didn’t decrease as it rushed toward Wei Yinu!

“This…”

The martial artists from various sects stood dumbstruck.

“Not good!”

Wei Yinu’s expression showed shock. Instinctively, he held the Golden Dragon Blade horizontally before himself.

“Bang!”

The sword energy slashed onto the blade surface, transmitting a metallic ringing sound.

“Crack—”

Immediately after, the Common-grade Golden Dragon Blade forged by Master Fan suddenly shattered before everyone’s eyes!

As the shattered blade fragments flew past him, Wei Yinu stood frozen like a wooden chicken.

The sword energy whose power hadn’t faded slashed down fiercely, striking his shoulder. His entire right arm flew out, landing on the stone slab three meters away. The hand naturally separated from the body released its grip, and the Golden Dragon Blade with only its hilt remaining rolled down.

“Ahhhh!”

Painful screams rang out from the Grudge Platform…
