On the life-and-death platform.

That Third-Rank Wuzong was enveloped in layers of ice, transformed into a lifelike ice sculpture.

Below the platform, all the various martial artists had their eyes wide open!

My heavens!

That female disciple from the Tiegu Sect was actually an ice-element martial cultivator who could directly freeze her opponent solid!

“Crack crack crack!”

After about a moment, the ice on that Third-Rank Wuzong’s body fell off, and the person had also been frozen into unconsciousness.

At this point, the match ended.

Lu Qianqian didn’t even glance at her opponent, then walked down from the life-and-death platform. From beginning to end, it was at most only ten seconds.

“Not bad, not bad.”

Jun Changxiao said: “Your strength has increased considerably.”

“Compared to the sect leader, I’m far behind.” Lu Qianqian said.

She was speaking the truth. After all, if it were her, she definitely couldn’t instantly defeat a Second-Rank Wuwang.

Jun Changxiao ascended the life-and-death platform, looked toward Elder Zhan, and cupped his fists saying: “My apologies, our Tiegu Sect was lucky enough to win all ten matches.”

“…” Everyone’s mouths twitched.

After the ten matches were fought, they discovered a common point—there was no evenly matched contest, the Tiegu Sect disciples never fell into a passive position. They either held the upper hand or showed crushing momentum!

This was simply too terrifying!

If they hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes, if someone else had told them about it, they definitely would have found it hard to believe!

Elder Zhan’s expression was ugly to the extreme.

He had brought people with such imposing momentum, but after ten matches, they hadn’t won a single one. His face had been completely lost!

“According to our previous agreement.” Jun Changxiao said: “Everyone, please return the way you came. We’ll mind our own business from now on.”

Elder Zhan felt even more uncomfortable.

He had come to Qingyang Commandery on the helm master’s orders, but failed to destroy the Tiegu Sect—how was he supposed to go back and report?

Refuse to acknowledge it, refuse to compromise?

That was possible and fit the evil sect style.

However, the Tiegu Sect wasn’t weak either!

They had an elder who completely dominated him, a sect leader who instantly defeated Elder Guo, and a group of powerful disciples.

If they forced it, forget about whether they could destroy the Tiegu Sect or not, they would definitely pay an extremely heavy price!

What to do?

After much internal struggle, Elder Zhan reluctantly cupped his fists and said: “Farewell!”

He accepted it.

He would follow the rules of the martial world.

Jun Changxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had finally dealt with this trouble. Now he could lead his disciples out to show off and roam around without worry.

The hearts of the Qingyang Commandery martial artists also relaxed, and they developed even higher respect for Sect Leader Jun.

Twenty evil sects, tens of thousands of evil cultivators, killing their way from Huayang Commandery—this was absolutely a death situation, yet it was forcibly turned around and resolved!

…

Elder Zhan didn’t dare use his own life to sound the horn for attacking the Tiegu Sect, so he could only return the way they came.

However.

Just as they were about to leave, a young man walked out from the mountain forest.

He was a man with fair features and a slender build, like an elegant young master from an aristocratic family.

Elder Zhan’s expression changed, and he cried out in alarm: “Elder Bai!”

“Ah?”

Guo Degang, who was being carried, endured his pain and tried hard to lift his head.

When he saw the newcomer’s appearance clearly, shock flashed in his eyes, then he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious.

Jun Changxiao frowned.

This person was about the same age as himself, but the aura emanating from his body was far stronger than Elder Zhan’s.

“Sect Leader.”

Jiang Xie, who had a lazy appearance, became serious in his gaze and transmitted his voice: “This person is a powerhouse from the God-Slaying Hall headquarters. His strength is probably…”

The system said: “Peak Wuwang.”

Jun Changxiao was stunned, then his mouth began to twitch.

What kind of joke was this!

This guy who looked like he hadn’t even fully grown yet would be a peak Wuwang?

The young man, who seemed to be strolling through the forest, suddenly dragged afterimages and stopped in front of Elder Zhan at a speed barely visible to the naked eye.

“Slap.”

He struck his face and scolded: “A bunch of trash.”

Elder Zhan’s right cheek immediately showed a palm print and transmitted burning pain. He said: “Elder Bai, please calm your anger!”

His voice trembled somewhat, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead and back.

Elder Bai flicked his black hair and said: “The helm master was worried things would change, so he sent me to supervise. As expected, his guess was correct.”

“Elder… Elder Bai…”

Elder Zhan said in terror: “This Tiegu Sect’s strength is formidable. Your subordinate was worried that forcing it would cause great losses.”

He was also an elder, just a branch hall elder.

The young man before him was a headquarters elder. In terms of rank, he was far above him!

“So.”

Elder Bai said indifferently: “This is your reason for retreating?”

Sharp eyes kept staring at Elder Zhan, terrifying him to the extreme until his legs began to tremble.

The twenty evil sect higher-ups behind him were also anxious and uneasy.

They had already realized from the golden waist token hanging at the young man’s waist with the two characters “God-Slaying” carved on it that this was definitely a powerhouse from the God-Slaying Hall headquarters!

The Qingyang Commandery martial artists didn’t know this.

But seeing a Wuwang silent as a winter cicada before him, they guessed the other party’s status must be high and his strength definitely not weak!

“Trouble!”

Xie Guangkun and Ai Shangni, who had just relaxed, furrowed their brows again.

As expected.

Elder Bai raised his head, looked at Jun Changxiao on the life-and-death platform, and smiled faintly saying: “Today, the Tiegu Sect must be removed from the martial world.”

His voice was gentle but filled with indisputable certainty.

All the various martial artists simultaneously had the same thought—this person would definitely do what he said!

“How strong is this guy?”

Jun Changxiao asked.

The Mid-Grade Strength Enhancement Talisman still had about 30 minutes left. If the other party insisted on coming, at worst he would bring out the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and fight him!

The system said: “Peak-tier peak Wuwang. Without counting martial techniques, at minimum 5.3 million pounds.”

“Damn it!”

Sect Leader Jun cursed in his heart.

Even with the ten-times Strength Enhancement Talisman boost, he only had 3.5 million, nearly 2 million pounds less than the opponent. Even if he activated the Green Dragon Crescent Blade’s special effect, he definitely couldn’t beat him!

He had finally dealt with this group of evil sect martial cultivators, but now a peak Wuwang appeared—was he destined to take his disciples and hide in the Sect Protection Grand Formation?

“This friend.”

Jun Changxiao said: “There was a prior agreement—ten matches, our Tiegu Sect wins ten matches, and from then on we’ll mind our own business.”

If he could resolve this through verbal persuasion, that would be best.

Elder Bai smiled and said: “That was your agreement with trash, not your agreement with me.”

“…”

Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched.

Damn it, was he forcing this old man to use the Hard-to-Retract Blade?

No, no.

If the Green Dragon Crescent Blade’s special effect was activated, it would be mistaken for a divine weapon with a weapon spirit.

If he then pulled out the forty-meter greatsword, even if he could resolve this peak Wuwang, word would definitely spread and bring even greater trouble.

He couldn’t win in a fight, so he could only enter the Sect Protection Grand Formation!

“All disciples listen to orders!”

Sect Leader Jun hurriedly transmitted his voice to the group: “Everyone return to the sect!”

A wise man doesn’t court disaster.

If this old man can’t provoke you, can’t he still hide?

“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”

The Tiegu Sect disciples strictly followed the sect leader’s orders and hurriedly headed up the mountain using the Cloud-Riding Step.

Seeing this, Elder Bai smiled faintly.

He didn’t chase them, but instead locked his consciousness onto Jun Changxiao and said indifferently: “Believe it or not, if you move even one step, I’ll make your soul scatter?”

“Is that so?” Jun Changxiao sneered.

Although he couldn’t beat a peak Wuwang, he definitely couldn’t lose in momentum. After all, he was the leader of a sect!

Soon.

All the disciples had retreated.

Only one person remained on the life-and-death platform—Jiang Xie…

No, there was one more person, namely Hall Master Wei from the Medicine Hall.

“Hall Master Wei.”

Jun Changxiao hurriedly transmitted his voice: “Please quickly return to the sect.”

Hall Master Wei stood up and walked, but didn’t return to the mountain gate. Instead, he walked forward and stood in front of the sect leader, his originally hunched body becoming straight.

“This…” Jun Changxiao’s expression showed surprise.

Hall Master Wei’s cloudy eyes gradually became sharp, and he said in a deep voice: “On the Iron Bones Clanging Sect’s territory, it’s not the turn of a wet-behind-the-ears brat to run wild here.”
