Taking three Great Spirit-Gathering Seals head-on and having his Seal Shield barrier broken demonstrated the Sacred Spring Sect’s sect master’s dominance.

Jun Changxiao truly had quite a gap compared to him.

Inevitably.

The difference between Second-Rank and peak was too vast.

Not only was there a gap in power values, but also differences in spiritual energy and martial techniques.

The martial artists from various forces watching the battle were somewhat confused.

Three palm strikes came down with power of at least 500,000 jin, yet they only shattered the barrier and forced that guy back several steps without even making him cough up blood. This was too inconceivable!

Sect Master Huang didn’t rush to attack but said with surprise, “Sect Master Jun, the level of your defensive martial technique is probably quite high.”

Not high.

Only initial-tier Superior Grade.

But because it was a System Store martial technique, its level was definitely superior to defensive cultivation methods of the same grade on Meteoric Star Continent.

If not for the Seal Shield barrier protecting him, after three palm strikes, Sect Master Jun would have already been injured and defeated.

“Very hard to win.” Ye Xingchen thought silently.

With such a huge gap in realm, he didn’t believe the sect master had any chance of turning things around.

“Whoosh!”

Jun Changxiao exhaled a breath, his gaze becoming serious.

The Sacred Spring Sect’s sect master was a formidable enemy who must be treated seriously, otherwise he would lose very miserably.

“Swish!”

Jun Changxiao used the Cloud-Treading Step and charged forward again, pouring spiritual energy into the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. The blade’s surface immediately flickered with green light.

However, compared to Sect Master Huang’s thick and heavy spiritual energy, there was still a huge gap.

Don’t be scared!

Just charge in and fight!

“Swish!”

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade came slashing down again, green blade light slicing through the void as it swept forward.

Sect Master Huang also knew the opponent’s weapon was strong, so he didn’t blindly confront it head-on with spiritual power but instead used footwork to evade.

“Boom!”

Blade energy slashed open the ground!

“Swish! Swish!”

Jun Changxiao went with the momentum and continued hacking repeatedly.

Boom!

Boom!

For a time, green blade light explosively slashed the ground frequently, immediately raising billowing dust!

Everyone’s vision was obstructed, but they still marveled that although the Iron Bones Sect’s sect master was at a disadvantage, his momentum was very strong.

This alone was worthy of respect!

With this challenge to the Sacred Spring Sect, both the Iron Bones Sect and Jun Changxiao had already gained fame and honor. Even losing to the Sacred Spring Sect’s sect master wouldn’t be a shameful matter.

Boom!

A heavy fist sound came from within the dust.

“Thud thud thud!”

Jun Changxiao explosively retreated all the way until he reached the edge of the martial arts arena, barely managing to forcibly stab his blade into the ground to stabilize himself.

“Wah!”

This time he couldn’t control it—a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

From the situation, everyone could guess that Sect Master Jun must have been struck by another palm from Sect Master Huang.

Finally… he coughed up blood!

“Sect Master!”

The Iron Bones Sect disciples immediately became worried.

Ye Xingchen shook his head. “Standing on the martial arts arena will only get him brutally beaten. Better to withdraw cleanly.”

Withdraw?

Jun Changxiao had no such plan.

He raised his hand, wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, and once again raised the Green Dragon Crescent Blade as he charged into the area where the dust hadn’t yet dispersed.

“Flood of the Seven Armies!”

“Slay Yan Liang, Execute Wen Chou!”

Boom!

Thud thud thud!

Jun Changxiao was blasted out again, stabilizing himself with difficulty before another mouthful of blood sprayed out, his complexion also becoming slightly pale.

“…”

Everyone’s mouths twitched.

With Sect Master Huang’s powerful strength, he’d been struck until he coughed up blood twice, yet how was he still standing? How did it look like only a light injury!

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Fierce winds roared out, dispersing the dust pervading the martial arts arena.

Sect Master Huang’s figure appeared and said, “Taking five of this one’s Great Spirit-Gathering Seals head-on, Sect Master Jun’s physical body is very strong.”

“Just average.”

Jun Changxiao raised his sleeve to wipe away the blood, then once again raised the Green Dragon Crescent Blade to slash forward. Although the power was very strong, the opponent could easily dodge each time.

With the system’s help, arriving in this other world for just over a year and already reaching Wuzong realm could be called lightning-fast progress.

But unfortunately, the opponent was just too strong!

This was only peak Wuzong—above that were Martial King, Martial Emperor, Martial Saint, and even Martial Sovereign.

So… how could he lose to a mere peak Wuzong!

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Jun Changxiao gripped the Green Dragon Crescent Blade with both hands as majestic spiritual energy surged around his body, his black hair flying wildly in disorder.

“Hm?”

Sect Master Huang was extremely surprised.

Jun Changxiao said coldly, “To force me to use my trump card, Sect Master Huang is the first person.”

Trump card?

Alliance Master Qin and the Alliance bigwigs sneered.

With such a disparity in strength, what trump card could you pull out for a desperate counterattack?

Sect Master Huang frowned slightly.

He sensed a feeling of danger, though it was very weak, very faint.

Was it because of a powerful trump card that he dared to accept the challenge?

If so, he truly couldn’t underestimate him.

The best approach was to strike first, not letting him use his trump card, thus achieving victory in the challenge.

Sect Master Huang wouldn’t foolishly face his opponent’s trump card, so he decided to end the match and salvage a tiny bit of face for his sect!

Thinking this, he employed footwork to charge forward, both palms releasing powerful spiritual energy as Great Spirit-Gathering Seals gathered and emerged, pressing forward with the momentum of a violent storm.

Two palm seals, each carrying 500,000 jin of force!

“Sect Master Huang is getting serious.”

“It’s over.”

“A typical battle with disparate strength!”

Powerhouses from various forces discussed.

Even Ye Xingchen believed that this attack from the Sacred Spring Sect’s sect master aimed to end the match. The sect master absolutely couldn’t withstand it. If he didn’t retreat in time, he would very likely be severely injured!

Lu Qianqian’s willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly as she transmitted her voice: “Withdraw.”

Actively retreating outside the martial arts arena at this moment, the opponent might consider saving face and withdraw part of his strength, avoiding the outcome of severe injuries.

Withdraw?

Jun Changxiao straightened his back, his gaze flashing with fighting spirit, and said, “Tell this sect master loudly, what is the first tenet of the Iron Bones Clanging Sect!”

This sentence was transmitted in a group-wide manner—every Iron Bones Sect disciple heard it clearly.

What was the first tenet?

There were many.

But the one most deeply etched in their memories was just one sentence, which was…

Everyone shouted in unison using voice transmission technique: “Be iron-boned and clanging people, do iron-boned and clanging deeds!”

Correct!

This was the Iron Bones Sect’s first tenet!

“Stomp!”

Jun Changxiao took a step forward, and violent green energy waves immediately erupted around his body, instantly gathering behind him and manifesting as a figure in green robes half-covered by battle armor.

Silkworm eyebrows, phoenix eyes, five strands of long beard.

The Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, Guan Yunzhang!

“Swish!”

Jun Changxiao furiously raised his blade, and Lord Guan behind him made the same motion, his hollow eyes immediately radiating a luster of loyalty reaching the clouds!

“Swish!”

One ethereal and one solid Green Dragon Crescent Blade fiercely slashed out, and space immediately showed a twisted state, as if shattered by a single blade!

Everyone’s eyeballs bulged.

Boom!

Boom!

The two incoming Great Spirit-Gathering Seals were directly cut down!

Sect Master Huang had no time to be shocked, because the green blade light, after breaking through the techniques, continued charging forward with undiminished force.

Very strong.

Extremely strong!

He didn’t dare take it head-on and could only continue evading!

However, just as he stepped away, he saw Jun Changxiao charging forward with blade raised, fiercely shouting: “Dare you battle with me!”

Whoosh—

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade swept across with the momentum of sweeping away thousands of troops, slicing through the void as green light burst forth.

At first, it seemed very small, but in an instant transformed to infinite size, directly covering more than half the entire martial arts arena!
