“Sect Master Huang, there’s no day better than today. Since we’re going to fight, let’s do it now!” Jun Changxiao’s voice rang out loud and clear, reaching everyone’s ears with perfect clarity.
He!
He accepted the challenge!
Everyone’s eyes instantly widened!
The Sacred Spring Sect was a peak Wuzong, merely one step away from Martial King. The Iron Bones Sect’s sect master was only a Second-Rank Wuzong, yet he dared to accept the challenge. What kind of courage did that require!
In that moment, everyone’s admiration for Jun Changxiao intensified even further.
If it were them, forget being a Second-Rank Wuzong—even with Ninth-Rank Wuzong cultivation, they wouldn’t dare accept a challenge from a peak Wuzong!
Ma Yunteng and Wang Donglin, who were still thinking about how to help Jun Changxiao out of this predicament, felt their mouths twitch uncontrollably.
My Sect Master Jun.
Accepting Elder Jin’s challenge was still understandable.
But accepting a challenge from a peak Wuzong was somewhat incomprehensible!
Why?
Because the two knew that the Sacred Spring Sect’s sect master was a supreme peak Wuzong, with pure strength of at least 450,000 jin.
Just now, Jun Changxiao’s explosive power was at most 350,000 jin, a difference of 100,000 jin from the opponent. How was this battle supposed to be fought?
Some people felt that it was only a difference of 100,000 jin, so the problem wasn’t major.
But one had to know—Elder Jin and Sect Master Jun only had a difference of 20,000 to 30,000 jin in strength, yet he was still pummeled up-down, left-right-left-right-B-A.
Xi Jingxuan sat down, flicked a strand of black hair from her forehead, and smiled. “Sect Master Jun still wants to fight.”
Li’er: “…”
She’d seen reckless people before.
She’d never seen anyone this reckless.
“Hmph.”
A female disciple from the Lily Sacred Sect said indifferently, “Courting death.”
When Jun Changxiao accepted Elder Jin’s challenge, she described it as overestimating himself, only to be proven wrong.
This time using “courting death” to describe it was enough to show that the guy couldn’t possibly defeat the Sacred Spring Sect’s sect master, even willing to bet with his life!
A Second-Rank Wuzong challenging a powerhouse infinitely close to Martial King—just thinking about it with your toes, it was impossible.
The Sacred Spring Sect’s sect master said, “Sect Master Jun has agreed. Do the two elders from Cangshan Sect still have any objections?”
Ma Yunteng and Wang Donglin fell silent.
Kid, since you insist on going up there to get beaten, we’re powerless to help.
“Sect Master Huang.”
Jun Changxiao said, “This one just fought a battle, and your strength is higher than mine. I wonder if I could use a weapon?”
Fighting a peak Wuzong-level powerhouse, he absolutely didn’t believe he could win relying on fists alone. He could only rely on a weapon—rely on the Green Dragon Crescent Blade!
The Sacred Spring Sect’s sect master said, “Sect Master Jun may use a weapon. This one will fight barehanded.”
“Very well.”
Jun Changxiao had originally thought they’d both use weapons, but since the opponent wanted to fight barehanded, he was naturally happy to accept.
Just like that, the Iron Bones Sect’s sect master and the Sacred Spring Sect’s sect master established their agreement and walked separately toward the martial arts arena.
“Sect Master Huang is a peak Wuzong! Even relying on a weapon, Sect Master Jun has a huge disadvantage. This battle will definitely be a complete crushing!”
“The Sacred Spring Sect lost so many matches. In the end, only the sect master coming out can salvage a bit of face.”
“Even if Sect Master Jun loses, it’s still an honorable defeat.”
From the words of martial artists from various forces, it wasn’t hard to see that at this moment, they were on Jun Changxiao’s side.
The Meteoric Star Continent revered martial strength above all.
A seventh-rate sect challenging a fifth-rate sect, winning all seventy-three matches without a single loss—that was enough to earn others’ respect.
However, fighting the Sacred Spring Sect’s sect master was clearly a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating himself.
…
On the martial arts arena, the two took their positions.
Sect Master Huang said with considerable grace, “Sect Master Jun, please bring out your weapon.”
Jun Changxiao raised his hand, and as space distorted, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade gradually materialized.
Qin Haoran’s face turned iron-blue, and his back started itching again.
In the battle at Heroic Vigor Gate, he had been wounded and defeated by this very blade, so naturally he wouldn’t forget!
“Good blade.” Ma Yunteng praised.
Wang Donglin had seen the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and witnessed Jun Changxiao use it to defeat Qin Haoran, but he still shook his head pessimistically. “The difference in strength is too great. A weapon is hard to make up for it.”
“Sect Master Jun.”
Sect Master Huang smiled. “This blade of yours is probably no less than high-tier Superior Grade, is it?”
High-tier Superior Grade?
Everyone’s gazes flickered with astonishment.
For someone at the Wuzong level to possess an initial-tier Superior Grade weapon was already quite remarkable, yet he actually had a high-tier Superior Grade one!
Envious.
Super envious!
Jun Changxiao said, “More or less.”
He didn’t know the Green Dragon Crescent Blade’s actual grade either, but the system had said that the stronger his power, the stronger its might.
And indeed, after breaking through to Second-Rank Wuzong and gripping the Green Dragon Crescent Blade again, it felt very smooth and comfortable.
The system said, “It can be wielded with 150,000 jin of strength. Host has 330,000 jin of strength—can absolutely use it with perfect ease.”
“Sect Master Huang.”
With Lord Guan’s great blade in hand, Jun Changxiao immediately felt surging heroic spirit, and said, “We can begin!”
“Please.”
Sect Master Huang said, “This one will let you make the first move.”
Fighting barehanded and letting Jun Changxiao strike first—this was telling all the martial artists that he wasn’t bullying the weak with his strength.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao wasn’t one to decline. Using the Cloud-Treading Step, he charged forward, then leaped into the air and fiercely brought down the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, shouting loudly, “Splitting Mount Hua!”
Guan Yu: ??? I never did that!
Whoosh whoosh—
Green blade light shot forth, carrying power that broke through 400,000 jin!
Sure enough, after entering Wuzong, Jun Changxiao’s strength increased, allowing him to better activate the Green Dragon Crescent Blade!
“Whoosh whoosh!”
The green blade light came crashing down with overwhelming force, instantly whipping up fierce winds and shocking everyone’s hearts.
This blade was terrifying!
Sect Master Huang was also full of surprise, but he waved his wide sleeve, and heavy spiritual energy condensed in midair, forming a fist that rose to meet it.
Bang!
The blade energy and spiritual energy fist collided and annihilated each other!
But the resulting impact shattered the relatively intact stone slabs into smithereens!
“Pangu Splits the Heavens!”
Right at this moment, Jun Changxiao, about to land, brought the blade crashing down again, the explosive power even stronger than before!
Guan Yu: Pangu… Splits the Heavens? Stop spouting nonsense—this isn’t a feat I performed!
Jun Changxiao hadn’t cultivated any blade techniques. The so-called Splitting Mount Hua and Pangu Splits the Heavens were just random shouts to add a bit of momentum.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
The second blade formed green blade light, making Sect Master Huang’s expression change slightly. He immediately struck complex hand seals, quickly condensing a defensive barrier in front of him.
“Boom!”
The blade light struck the barrier, directly shattering it to pieces.
“Hiss!”
Everyone gasped.
The defensive barrier Sect Master Huang condensed was actually destroyed by that guy’s single blade strike. How terrifying!
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao pressed his advantage, swinging his blade repeatedly while shouting loudly, “Warm Wine, Behead Hua Xiong! Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu! Cross Five Passes, Slay Six Generals!”
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Three overwhelmingly powerful blade strikes descended, forcing Sect Master Huang to only condense barriers with spiritual energy to block them, which were then consecutively shattered.
This guy’s blade was very strong!
He couldn’t passively defend—he had to actively attack!
Sect Master Huang’s body lunged forward, employing intricate and complex footwork, then circled behind Jun Changxiao. Spiritual energy roared as it pressed forward, condensing into a Great Spirit-Gathering Seal!
Even Elder Jin could only methodically condense palm seals from above.
As a sect master, being able to instantly gather spiritual energy and strike from a tricky angle demonstrated ultimate comprehension of martial techniques!
“Not good!”
Jun Changxiao had no time to dodge and could only deploy his Seal Shield barrier to directly resist.
Bang—
Power containing at least 500,000 jin crashed into the barrier. Jun Changxiao retreated several steps while dragging the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
At this moment, Sect Master Huang attacked again, raising both left and right hands as two Great Spirit-Gathering Seals came crashing down.
Boom! Boom!
Sect Master Jun’s body hadn’t yet stabilized when he was struck again. The defensive barrier he’d condensed instantly shattered, and he staggered backward wildly. When he finally stabilized himself, his blood and energy boiled, threatening to spurt out.
Damn it.
Peak Wuzong—truly formidable!
