Side quests hadn’t been triggered in a long time. The last time could still be traced back to when he took Ye Xingchen to Pingyang Commandery to participate in the Sect Grand Competition.

When Elder Guo from the God-Slaying Hall jumped onto the life-and-death platform, it finally triggered again, and it was even Elite-level!

However.

This quest was a bit screwed up!

Jun Changxiao collapsed and said: “Sixty seconds to defeat a Wuwang—do you think that’s possible?”

“Not possible.” The system answered decisively.

Jiang Xie could defeat Elder Zhan because he had Second-Rank Wuwang cultivation.

What about Jun Changxiao?

Even as a Second-Rank Supreme-tier Wuzong, his maximum combat power was only 350,000 pounds.

Elder Guo, this Second-Rank High-tier Wuwang, could casually strike with at least 1.6 million pounds.

The gap between them was nearly fivefold—there was simply no contest!

“Since it’s not possible.”

Jun Changxiao said in collapse: “Then what’s the point of this quest?”

The system said: “The more impossible a quest is to complete, if the host completes it, there will definitely be generous rewards.”

Jun Changxiao rolled his eyes.

He naturally knew that the more difficult the quest, the more rewards you get after completing it.

The key issue was, how was he supposed to complete it!

“Sigh.”

Jun Changxiao thought to himself: “I can only use the Mid-Grade Strength Enhancement Talisman.”

After completing Epic Quest Two in the Death Valley, he had obtained one Mid-Grade Strength Enhancement Talisman, which he still hadn’t used yet.

The system said: “The Mid-Grade Strength Enhancement Talisman can increase the host’s strength by 10 times.”

“10 times?”

Jun Changxiao’s eyes blazed with fervor.

With his current strength, after using it, that would be over 3 million pounds of force—he could completely beat down a Second-Rank Wuwang.

“However.”

The system said: “If the physical body isn’t strong enough, after the effect expires, there will be side effects for a very long time.”

“How long does it last?”

“60 minutes.”

“One minute to deal with this Wuwang, 59 minutes to intimidate the evil sects of Huayang Commandery—that should be enough to resolve the trouble.”

After this calculation, Jun Changxiao cupped his fists and said: “Since that’s the case, this seat will compete with this expert from the God-Slaying Hall.”

Although the quest didn’t say the host must be the one to resolve it, at this moment, he could only take the stage himself to face the second Wuwang from the God-Slaying Hall.

“Sect Leader Jun is going to fight personally?”

“Having defeated the Holy Spring Sect’s Sect Leader, Sect Leader Jun’s strength is still very formidable.”

“Can he be stronger than that Elder Jiang?”

Everyone discussed in low voices.

Xie Guangkun and Ai Shangni were thinking that since the Tiegu Sect had a Wuwang elder, perhaps they were also hiding unfathomably profound experts, but they hadn’t expected that Sect Leader Jun would fight the third match!

Honestly speaking.

This was a bit precarious.

But it wasn’t a big problem—Sect Leader Jun still had that weapon spirit treasure blade…

“Sect Leader Jun.”

Elder Guo said: “Let’s settle the victory with our fists.”

“Fine.” Jun Changxiao said.

Xie Guangkun and Ai Shangni’s mouths twitched.

They had just been thinking that if Sect Leader Jun used that weapon spirit treasure blade, perhaps there might still be a chance of winning, but now fighting a Wuwang barehanded—no matter how you looked at it, there was no chance of victory!

At this moment, Alliance Leader Qin and the alliance members should have been mocking him to death.

Strangely enough.

Each and every one of them was actually being honest and well-behaved, without even any mental activity.

The Tiegu Sect having one Wuwang who crazily dominated the God-Slaying Hall elder had brought them too much shock, so they forgot that their purpose in coming here was to watch a joke.

Watch what joke!

The Tiegu Sect’s strength was so formidable—if they angered that guy and he brought his elder to their own sect, being beaten down would be the minor issue, being destroyed would be the major one!

When a person’s strength is still within an acceptable range, everyone will still look down on them as they should, but when a person’s strength reaches a higher level, reaches an untouchable level, one can only look up in admiration.

Just like, in the same village, someone has a bit of money, lives in a western-style house, drives a small car—neighbors will privately be jealous and point fingers.

“Hey, that kid was still wetting the bed at seven years old.”

“I used to play with him, never thought he’d amount to much.”

After a period of time, if that person has countless enterprises and listed companies, wealthy enough to rival nations, those neighbors who used to point fingers will definitely all turn mute.

Because this kind of mega-wealthy person is undoubtedly like a towering mountain standing before them—one can only look up in admiration, not dare to overstep.

The Tiegu Sect was like this.

Although it had been continuously growing stronger, Qin Haoran and the alliance members always believed that the other party’s strength was just accidental, just lucky.

Now, with disciples who could defeat Wuzongs and elders who could torment Wuwangs, it had already become an existence that could only be looked up to in admiration.

…

On the life-and-death platform.

Jun Changxiao and Elder Guo stood ten meters apart, already prepared for battle.

“This is a bit reckless.” Lu Qianqian’s willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly.

For the sect leader to challenge a Second-Rank Wuwang with Second-Rank Wuzong cultivation—the difficulty was so great, there was absolutely no hope whatsoever.

Of course.

Through their interactions during this period, she knew that although the sect leader sometimes acted rashly, he never did anything he wasn’t confident about, so she vaguely anticipated what brilliant performance he would have.

Unlike the eldest senior sister’s worry.

Li Qingyang and the others had absolute worship for the sect leader. Since he dared to face a Wuwang in battle, he definitely had complete confidence!

“Ahaha!”

On the big tree, Little Dragon yawned, a trace of gloom appearing in its eyes.

For the second Wuwang, why didn’t Master let it fight?

Jun Changxiao also wanted to let it fight, but that so-called dragon-human transformation battle form—transforming into something neither human nor beast—would definitely scare the little children.

Below the life-and-death platform.

Various martial artists were also staring intently, and the atmosphere in this area was somewhat tense.

“Sect Leader Jun.”

Elder Guo said indifferently: “We can begin now, right?”

“Wait a moment.”

As Jun Changxiao spoke, he had already quietly crushed the Mid-Grade Strength Enhancement Talisman.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

In an instant, terrifying energy erupted from within his dantian, then like ocean tides, surged toward his entire body’s meridians!

Awesome, awesome, awesome!

Feeling every muscle, every meridian, containing power even more formidable than before, Jun Changxiao’s eyes blazed with intense battle intent.

“Hmm?”

Elder Guo’s brow furrowed slightly.

The instant Jun Changxiao’s power surged dramatically, an ominous feeling rose in his heart.

A Second-Rank Wuzong without any weapons—how could he make him feel such a premonition?

Could it be because of how strong that Tiegu Sect elder was just now?

Elder Guo laughed dumbly.

“We can begin now.” Jun Changxiao said.

As soon as he spoke the word “begin,” the 1 minute displayed on the side quest immediately changed to 59 seconds, clearly having been activated and entering the countdown phase.

“Swoosh!”

Right at this moment, Elder Guo charged forward using movement techniques.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Powerful evil energy instantly erupted around his body, gradually condensing into a half-real, half-illusory human figure!

“Demon Manifestation!” A martial artist cried out in alarm.

The human figure gradually became substantial, like a carved stone statue, emanating a sinister and evil aura that made people wary.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Suddenly, the Demon Manifestation extended one hand, ruthlessly striking toward Jun Changxiao, its carried power instantly climbing to 2 million pounds!

“…”

Elder Zhan’s mouth twitched slightly.

Facing a Second-Rank Wuzong, Brother Guo was deploying his trump card right from the start—wasn’t that a bit too serious!

Elder Guo’s action was aimed at a quick victory!

“Thud!”

However, facing the Demon Manifestation’s large palm pressing down, Sect Leader Jun took one step forward, his eyes flashing with even more intense excitement, then swung his right fist to strike fiercely.

“Crack crack crack—”

With one punch thrown out, space crackled and popped!

When power reaches a certain level, swinging a fist can produce wind-breaking sounds. A bit higher, it can whip up fierce winds. Even higher than that, it can disturb space itself!

“My heavens!”

Hearing that kind of sound that made people break out in goosebumps, everyone was dumbfounded, enormous waves surging in their hearts!

“Impossible!”

Elder Guo’s expression changed dramatically in shock!

The faint ominous premonition he had felt earlier expanded infinitely the instant Jun Changxiao swung his fist!
