The verbose Fourth Elder of Spiritsource Sect was instantly killed by Jun Changxiao using the Seven Mysteries Sunlight Piercer.
White Ruihu and the others immediately widened their eyes.
Zhangsun Fanghua and Leng Xingyue, standing on the city tower, wore expressions of complete bewilderment!
That fellow killed a Rank 2 Martial King way too easily!
It couldn’t be helped.
Under the suppression of sword momentum, Spiritsource Sect’s Fourth Elder couldn’t dodge at all and had no way to resist—he could only stand there and await death!
At Firmament Mountain Sect, when Jun Changxiao first used sword momentum, he could only barely restrain a Martial King.
Now that his cultivation had improved and his understanding of the sword path had deepened, when facing Low-tier Martial Kings and unleashing it again, it was absolutely comparable to a Martial Emperor’s Qi Domain!
“Thud!”
Spiritsource Sect’s Fourth Elder fell to the ground.
“Elder Wang!”
Spiritsource Sect’s Third Elder looked at Jun Changxiao with eyes splitting with rage, intense killing intent flashing in his gaze!
“Got a problem?”
Jun Changxiao said: “Come, let’s battle.”
Very arrogant.
Very brazen!
Spiritsource Sect’s Third Elder said gravely: “Boy, you killed someone from my Spiritsource Sect. That means a fight to the death!”
Though he was angry, he remained relatively rational.
Being able to instantly kill the Fourth Elder meant this youngster’s strength was formidable.
If he rashly engaged in battle, there would definitely be danger, so he could only issue harsh words.
Jun Changxiao shrugged with a completely indifferent expression: “It’s not like I haven’t killed them before. Do you think this seat would be afraid?”
Haven’t killed them before?
Spiritsource Sect’s Third Elder’s expression froze, then as if recalling something, he said in shock: “Elder Shui and Elder Zhuang were killed by you!?”
Jun Changxiao was quite surprised: “You didn’t know?”
In his view, since he’d been hunted by Spiritsource Sect’s Martial Emperor expert, his identity should have already been exposed.
It was precisely for this reason that he’d flown out directly and instantly killed the Fourth Elder—since there was already enmity and he’d already killed two, killing one more made no difference.
Actually, Spiritsource Sect temporarily didn’t know who the murderer was. Though the Grand Elder had seen him, he didn’t know his true identity either.
The two Martial Kings from Severed Waters Pavilion also showed anger and killing intent in their eyes.
One of their sect’s elders and many disciples had gone to Firmament Mountain Sect with the Spiritsource Sect people and never returned—they must have been killed by him too!
Three Martial Kings glared at him furiously.
Jun Changxiao said: “Such tempers.”
“How about this.”
He paused, then said: “Don’t say this seat bullies people—all three of you come at once.”
One person challenging three Martial Kings?
This was truly arrogant!
“Presumptuous!”
The elders from both sects showed even more blazing anger in their eyes!
Being so belittled by a junior—as Martial Path Kings, how could they accept this!
“Elder Zhang, Elder Zhao.”
Spiritsource Sect’s Third Elder said gravely: “Since Sect Leader Jun says so, if we don’t oblige, that would be discourteous.”
“Correct!”
Severed Waters Pavilion’s Elder Zhang said: “Since Sect Leader Jun insists on fighting one against three, we must oblige to the end!”
Jun Changxiao had instantly killed a Rank 2 Martial King—none of them had confidence to fight him one-on-one. But if they went together, they still had great confidence!
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
The three flew out and landed before the battle formation, simultaneously releasing their Martial King cultivation.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Waves of heavy pressure instantly filled the battlefield, causing Xie Guangkun’s heart to tremble as he stood on the city tower!
Zhangsun Fanghua said coldly: “One person battling three Martial Kings—that boy is truly arrogant and presumptuous.”
Leng Xingyue said: “Though his strength is decent, he’s just too young and impetuous.”
Xi Jingxuan smiled instead: “This Palace Master finds that Sect Leader Jun, daring to fight one against three, is a true man of iron bones and clanging metal.”
Zhangsun Fanghua and Leng Xingyue fell silent.
It seemed the Palace Master had truly fallen for that fellow—whatever he did, she thought it was right!
…
Facing three Martial Kings who had released their cultivation, Jun Changxiao asked with a calm and untroubled expression: “What’s the strength of these three?”
The System said: “One Rank 5 Martial King, two Rank 3 Martial Kings.”
“By this calculation, that equals a Rank 11 Martial King,” Jun Changxiao thought to himself.
System: “…”
Adding people’s ranks together to calculate—how bizarre!
“Sect Leader Jun.”
Spiritsource Sect’s Third Elder said coldly: “Shall we begin?”
With so many people watching, and three against one, they naturally had to maintain some dignity to avoid people gossiping behind their backs.
“Begin!”
Jun Changxiao stood with hands behind his back: “This seat will let you attack first.”
This was truly arrogant!
Zhangsun Fanghua and Leng Xingyue, who were already displeased with him, immediately rolled their eyes, thinking to themselves that such an arrogant youngster would stumble sooner or later.
No need to wait—it was happening right now!
Three Martial Kings working together could definitely beat him black and blue!
Spiritsource Sect’s elder’s eyes flashed with anger. He exchanged glances with the two Severed Waters Pavilion elders, then each deployed their martial techniques. Instantly, colorful spiritual energy gathered!
Whoosh, whoosh—
Spiritual energy surged, fierce winds howled!
Three Martial Kings attacking together created quite an imposing scene!
The White Tiger Legion soldiers standing at the front line showed fear in their eyes, then unconsciously retreated more than ten steps!
They worried about being caught in the aftermath and dying unjustly.
Throughout history, there had been plenty of small fries who suffered when immortals fought.
“Attack!”
Spiritsource Sect’s Third Elder shouted.
Simultaneously, he was the first to charge forward using movement techniques. His fists, infused with spiritual energy, instantly punched dozens of times in the void!
Tyrant Shadow Fist.
High-Grade Beginning-Tier fist technique!
Whoosh, whoosh!
Dense shadows of fists formed an overwhelming force pressing forward!
As Spiritsource Sect’s elder made his move, the two Severed Waters Pavilion elders also stepped forward quickly, then from two different positions, gathered spiritual energy and blasted it forth.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two waves of dense energy transformed into blade-like streams of light!
This was Severed Waters Pavilion’s signature martial technique, Drawing Blade to Sever Water. Though in tier it couldn’t compare to Tyrant Shadow Fist, it was still quite a rare spiritual power-type martial technique!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bang!
Bang!
The dense fist prints first bombarded Jun Changxiao. Under the explosion of energy, a cloud of Qi mist immediately rose. The two strikes of Drawing Blade to Sever Water that followed closely behind stirred up dust that blotted out the sky!
“Hiss!”
The numerous soldiers gasped.
If they tried to withstand such power, they would absolutely be blasted into meat paste!
Zhangsun Fanghua and Leng Xingyue both shook their heads.
Three different martial techniques attacking from three different positions, yet that fellow actually stood there without moving.
Did he think he could withstand it using a spiritual energy Qi wall?
A Rank 5 Martial King plus two Rank 3 Martial Kings—their combined explosive power was at least six to seven million jin. Even a peak Martial King might not be able to withstand it.
Gradually.
The swirling dust dispersed.
Jun Changxiao’s figure gradually appeared.
Still standing in the same place?
Zhangsun Fanghua and Leng Xingyue looked at each other, their eyes showing surprise.
Even if a spiritual energy Qi wall could withstand three Martial Kings’ bombardment, shouldn’t he at least retreat a few steps? What did standing in place mean?
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew away the thin Qi mist, revealing Jun Changxiao clearly. Not only was he standing in place, but his entire body was covered in crimson armor, looking imposing and mighty!
“This…”
Zhangsun Fanghua and Leng Xingyue were stunned.
Looking at the armor covering Jun Changxiao’s body, they couldn’t determine for a moment whether this was equipment or a supreme treasure.
The three Martial Kings’ joint attack was indeed powerful.
But the armor Jun Changxiao had condensed using Spirit Armor had extremely high defensive properties, easily withstanding it all.
Due to his mood, this fellow had even ostentatiously manifested it in crimson—it looked simply too dazzling!
The three elders from both sects furrowed their brows.
They knew this youngster’s strength was formidable, so they’d used their trump cards right away. Yet not only had they failed to injure him, they hadn’t even made him retreat—this was very damaging to their self-esteem.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao raised his hand, smiling: “This seat’s turn to attack.”
Whoosh, whoosh—
The special energy existing between heaven and earth was drawn forth and gathered in his palm into a crimson light sphere.
The armor was crimson.
The attribute was crimson.
At that moment, Sect Leader Jun was more dazzling than the sun in the sky!
The three Martial Kings’ faces immediately changed drastically!
Just now, Elder Wang had been directly pierced through the chest by this type of energy!
“Using Seven Mysteries Sunlight Piercer again?”
On the city wall, He Wudi thought to himself: “This technique is extremely energy-consuming. Isn’t he afraid of exhausting himself?”
Not afraid.
Dual-core drive, abundant energy!
Jun Changxiao’s palm faced Severed Waters Pavilion’s Elder Sun, whose forehead was already beaded with sweat!
A Rank 2 Martial King had been instantly killed by this move—as a Rank 3 Martial King, he definitely couldn’t withstand it either!
Smack!
Elder Zhang strode forward, pressing both hands on his back, shouting: “You and I together form an array!”
“Good!”
Elder Sun quickly formed hand seals.
Whoosh, whoosh!
The surging spiritual energy combined with Elder Zhang’s spiritual energy, instantly forming a materialized defensive barrier before them!
“Dual Seal Formation!” Zhangsun Fanghua said.
Leng Xingyue said: “This seems to be a defensive martial technique that reaches High-Grade Mid-Tier.”
“Mm.”
Zhangsun Fanghua said: “That fellow might not be able to shake it.”
“Break.”
Just then, Jun Changxiao said disdainfully.
Whoosh—
The crimson beam immediately shot forth from his palm, blasting toward the defensive barrier at extreme speed!
Bang!
In an instant, the defensive barrier reinforced by two Rank 3 Martial Kings shattered like paper!
Pfft!
Pfft!
The crimson beam’s momentum didn’t decrease, directly piercing through Elder Sun’s left shoulder. Elder Zhang behind him couldn’t avoid it either—his left shoulder was also pierced!
Breaking the barrier and killing two birds with one stone!
The power of this Seven Mysteries Sunlight Piercer was truly astonishing!
Seeing this, Zhangsun Fanghua and Leng Xingyue widened their eyes once again.
The two had come to assist Iron Bones Sect in defending Qingyang City, but not only had they become shocked spectators, they were repeatedly proven wrong—it was truly pitiful.
“Whoosh, whoosh!”
Just then, heavy pressure suddenly surged from above.
Jun Changxiao looked up to see spiritual energy gathering like dark clouds pressing down!
Spiritsource Sect’s Third Elder stood in the distance, both hands in a heaven-supporting posture. The spiritual energy surging from his body continuously flowed into the sky. After a brief buildup, he shouted furiously: “Great Nirvana Heaven-Annihilating Palm!”
Whoosh, whoosh!
A giant hand immediately emerged from the gathered spiritual energy, carrying rolling waves of Qi, pressing down from above.
This momentum made everyone gasp!
Without exaggeration, as the palm print descended, Qingyang City’s firmament became dim and colorless!
Jun Changxiao said flatly: “Firefly’s glow.”
“Step!”
Taking one stride, both fists clenched tightly. Just as the palm print was about to descend, he suddenly blasted upward.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a frenzied bombardment, the descending palm print was directly shattered by overwhelming force!
“Pff!”
Spiritsource Sect’s Third Elder spat blood, his eyes showing terror.
The Great Nirvana Heaven-Annihilating Palm was his strongest trump card. He’d even begun gathering power while the opponent attacked the Severed Waters Pavilion Martial Kings. Yet it was broken just like that!
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao used Cloud-Treading Step to appear before him, saying coldly: “Stop struggling.”
Whoosh, whoosh!
Mountain-Shattering Earth-Splitting Fist was deployed again. Powerful fist prints emanated forth, immediately launching a storm-like bombardment!
The entire process was lightning-fast!
Among those present, only Zhangsun Fanghua and Leng Xingyue could keep up with Jun Changxiao’s movements and his fist speed!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Clang, clang, clang!
Facing the violent bombardment, Spiritsource Sect’s Third Elder was beaten back repeatedly, his facial expression constantly changing before finally freezing in extreme agony!
Not until Sect Leader Jun withdrew his fists did the man retreat dozens of steps. After steadying himself, he collapsed to the ground, blood gushing wildly.
Zhangsun Fanghua and Leng Xingyue’s lips twitched.
Three Martial Kings—two injured, one brutally beaten. This fellow’s strength was truly formidable!
If the two knew that Sect Leader Jun still hadn’t used his full power, they would be even more shocked.
It could be said.
With his current strength, forget Rank 5 Martial Kings—even Rank 7 or 8 Martial Kings would be beaten just as thoroughly.
“My heavens!”
City Lord Xie thought to himself: “Sect Leader Jun is simply too terrifying!”
The Iron Bones Sect disciples stood tall and proud. Clearly, the formidable performance displayed by their Sect Leader filled them with pride!
“No fun.”
Jun Changxiao looked toward White Ruihu in the distance, who stood dumbstruck: “Hurry up and order the attack on the city.”
With a wave of his long sleeve, he flew back to the city tower.
The three Martial Kings from Spiritsource Sect and Severed Waters Pavilion, enduring their injuries, retreated in disgrace.
Jun Changxiao had no intention of taking their lives. Otherwise, they would already be corpses with lingering warmth.
“Sect Leader Jun.”
White Ruihu said gravely: “Does your Iron Bones Sect truly intend to participate in warfare and defend Qingyang City to the death?”
Though shocked by Jun Changxiao’s formidable strength, according to regulations, Martial Kings were not permitted to participate in worldly warfare.
Why?
Because at the Martial King level, their strength was too terrifying—with a casual gesture they could annihilate tens of thousands of soldiers.
Jun Changxiao, having just landed before the city tower, said: “While Iron Bones Sect stands, Qingyang City stands.”
His voice echoed through the air.
The millions of citizens hiding inside the city, hearing this declaration, immediately felt their trembling hearts soothed!
“Sect Leader Jun!”
Xie Guangkun standing nearby was moved almost to tears. He bowed and said: “This kindness, our Qingyang City will remember in our hearts!”
“Hmph.”
White Ruihu sneered: “A mere sect force—how could it possibly contend with my Zhenyang Commandery’s mighty army!”
Swish!
A battle flag waved.
Several thousand soldiers pushed heavy siege engines forward.
Clearly, they were about to begin the siege!
“Hall Master Xue.”
Jun Changxiao said: “This battle is yours.”
“Yes.”
Xue Rengui stepped forward. His battle flag waved, the city gates immediately opened, and Wolf Cavalry Hall members riding Hurricane Wolves walked out step by step.
“Wolf cavalry?”
White Ruihu’s eyes showed surprise.
“Just this many people?” one general sneered disdainfully.
Zhenyang Commandery had three hundred thousand troops, yet Iron Bones Sect sent a thousand wolf cavalry to meet them in battle—the disparity was truly vast!
“Our resolve to enter the battle formation—death with no life! “
Zhong Yi summoned the Overlord Spear and shouted: “Kill—”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Hurricane Wolves carrying Wolf Cavalry Hall members formed a horizontal line formation and charged forward.
From an aerial view, Zhenyang Commandery’s great army was like a boundless ocean, while the charging wolf cavalry were like a lone skiff!
However.
Though their numbers were extremely few, each Wolf Cavalry Hall member’s eyes were cold and stern, their entire bodies emanating an iron bones and clanging metal momentum!
“Trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm—overestimating yourself.”
White Ruihu snorted coldly and waved his battle flag.
“Clop, clop, clop!”
Fifty thousand iron cavalry stood at the front lines, gradually forming ranks.
Using this number to face a thousand wolf cavalry—General Bai was also being very cautious.
“Kill!”
The cavalry commander roared.
Clop! Clop! Clop!
Fifty thousand iron cavalry immediately moved. War horses galloped wildly, the earth shook violently, kicking up rolling dust that blotted out the sky!
“Swish!”
Xiao Zuiji, standing in the watchtower, raised his Type 88 sniper rifle. One eye pressed to the eight-power scope, he decisively pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
All twenty bullets were fired, streaking with trailing light past the Wolf Cavalry Hall members, striking cavalrymen with perfect accuracy.
Kill!
At the same time, Zhong Yi led the members charging in. A cavalry battle of few against many officially began!
