The Martial Emperor from Western Yun Province came to battle. Jun Changxiao activated his Martial Saint Soul and triggered the Five Elements attributes, yet still couldn’t achieve victory. In the end, he had no choice but to use Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin.
Now, today.
Having advanced three grades, he once again fully activated the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade. As he swung the blade, the explosive might unleashed was utterly incomparable to before!
Crack crack crack—
Space was directly torn apart by the Five Elements blade qi. Like a waterfall cascading three thousand feet, it thundered down. The violent spiritual energy and sword momentum shook the heavens and shocked all living beings!
The Extreme Cold Palace Master exclaimed in shock: “Sword… dual Sword and Blade King!”
“Step!”
There was no time for him to think. His Martial Emperor cultivation exploded to full power. Both palms suddenly bombarded the void as he shouted: “Primordial Nine-Layer Extreme Cold Realm!”
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
In an instant, the space above the great hall violently trembled.
Then it transformed into a Tai Chi pattern formed by gathered ice-attribute energy, creating a barrier similar to a defensive array!
“Sect-Protecting Martial Technique!” The martial cultivators in the distance cried out in unison.
The Primordial Nine-Layer Extreme Cold Realm was an extremely profound Saint-grade ice-attribute defensive martial technique of the Extreme Cold Palace, also known as a Sect-Protecting Martial Technique.
Powerful sects all had trump card martial techniques.
However, the Eternal Ages Sect didn’t have any, because aside from the low-level ones from earlier stages, current techniques like Seven Profound Rainbow Light破 and Crimson Sky Blazing Flame Slash could all be used as Sect-Protecting Martial Techniques!
“Whoosh!”
As the Primordial Nine-Layer Extreme Cold Realm deployed, the materialized ice-attribute Tai Chi pattern emanated a heavy and profound momentum.
The Extreme Cold Palace Master’s face turned iron-blue.
No matter what, he had to block these four blade strikes, because they concerned the safety of the sect’s great hall!
The mountain gate had been broken—their dignity already trampled.
If they couldn’t even protect the sect’s great hall, how would they face their ancestors in the netherworld after a hundred years!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Carrying supreme might, the blade qi dragged the force of tearing space and ruthlessly bombarded the Tai Chi pattern, immediately producing violent tremors!
The Extreme Cold Palace Master’s blood qi surged violently, but the spiritual energy within his body continued to explode madly. Finally, he stabilized the constantly fluctuating Primordial Nine-Layer Extreme Cold Realm!
He had withstood it.
But it wasn’t over yet!
Jun Changxiao, descending with the momentum, raised the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade again. With his Martial Saint Soul’s enhancement, he fiercely swung down once more!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three more overwhelmingly powerful blade qi strikes bombarded the ice-attribute Tai Chi pattern, bringing even stronger impact force!
Every blade Jun Changxiao struck contained the power of the Five Elements—truly powerful to the extreme. Though the Extreme Cold Palace Master managed to stabilize with difficulty, the spiritual energy within his body was rapidly depleting!
This was a Fifth Grade Martial Emperor!
In terms of strength, he was two grades higher than the Traveling Cloud Sect’s Martial Emperor!
Having advanced three grade levels, Jun Changxiao’s combat power was truly explosive. If he fought Ge Tuhong again, he definitely wouldn’t need to use Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin to defeat him!
“…”
The Extreme Cold Palace Master’s face became ferocious as he roared: “Who exactly are you!”
The mountain gate had been blasted open, disciples and elders had been killed in large numbers, yet he still didn’t know the invader’s identity. This was truly tragic!
“I am—” Jun Changxiao raised the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade again and shouted: “From Qingyang Commandery in southwestern Yang Province, the Sect Master of Eternal Ages Sect—Jun Changxiao!”
His voice rang like a great bell, reverberating through heaven and earth.
Eternal Ages Sect.
Jun Changxiao?
The sect that previously went by the name Iron Bones Clanging Sect!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just then, several more blade qi strikes slashed at the ice-attribute Tai Chi pattern. The latter could no longer support it, and with a ‘crack’ sound, dense fissures appeared!
It had been breached!
A few more strikes would definitely break through!
The Extreme Cold Palace Master roared furiously: “A sect from southwestern Yang Province dares to come to our northeastern Lu Province? This is utterly unforgivable!”
Whoosh whoosh!
The cold qi in the firmament suddenly rose. The falling snowflakes instantly transformed into ice blocks, then rapidly converged together, forming four lifelike ice dragons!
“Roar—”
Dragon roars resounded through heaven and earth!
“My heavens, the Extreme Cold Palace Master has unleashed another Sect-Protecting Martial Technique—Heavenly Phantom Ice Dragons!” Many martial artists’ eyes widened.
Whoosh whoosh—
Like four ice dragons coiling through heaven and earth, they swept forth dragging their long bodies. The extreme cold intent seemed ready to freeze even the air itself!
“Screech!”
The Demon Ridge Black Eagle raised its head and cried out!
Its two enormous and sharp talons tore through the void. Like an eagle catching chickens, they directly restrained two ice dragons, then crushed them with a ‘bang bang’ sound!
A Fifth Grade Martial Emperor was very strong.
But Sect Master Jun also had contract beasts!
Don’t talk about how fighting one person with one person and one beast is dishonorable—if you’re so capable, go catch one yourself to battle me!
“Roar!”
The other two ice dragons charged from both sides!
They didn’t attack the Demon Ridge Black Eagle, but rather attacked Jun Changxiao.
Whoosh whoosh—
Just then, towering flames suddenly erupted in midair, instantly dispersing the utterly cold qi and making the entire Extreme Cold Palace as warm as spring!
As Jun Changxiao descended, he landed within the flames. A materialized crimson armor rapidly condensed.
This appearance was devastatingly handsome.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Little Dragon’s humanoid head emerged from the scorching flames, saying in a babyish voice: “No one can harm my master.”
Wait, that was wrong.
It wasn’t one person and one beast—it was one person and two beasts fighting one!
Flash!
A flash of flame light passed!
One of the charging ice dragons was immediately embraced around the head by Little Dragon, who said: “Dry and withered, rough and scaly, not smooth at all.”
Whoosh whoosh—
The scorching flames suddenly surged. The ice dragon’s extremely hard body immediately had its sharp edges smoothed away, its sharpness erased.
In the blink of an eye, a lifelike ice dragon was crushed to death by Little Dragon’s coiling, directly evaporated by the high-temperature flames.
Water can carry a boat, and can also cook porridge.
When scorching flames reached their extreme, even the coldest attributes could be melted, could be evaporated!
“Flash!”
Little Dragon once again embraced another ice dragon with towering flames and swiftly crushed it to death.
Swish—
Jun Changxiao wielded the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade and fiercely slashed down again. The already precarious ice-attribute barrier could no longer support itself and directly shattered into nothingness!
“Pff!”
The Extreme Cold Palace Master spat blood and retreated several steps in weakness. Having both Sect-Protecting Martial Techniques consecutively broken caused severe backlash!
Without two Martial Emperor-level contract beasts, he could have fought Jun Changxiao.
Now, forget about the dual Sword and Blade King—he couldn’t even handle either Little Dragon or the Demon Ridge Black Eagle alone.
“Flap flap! Flap flap!”
Above, the Demon Ridge Black Eagle flapped its wings, producing a powerful wind vortex that made the great hall tremble violently.
“Whoosh whoosh—”
Aside from its exposed head, Little Dragon’s entire body was wrapped in flames. Hovering in midair, it spread its right palm to catch its descending master.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao stood with blade held horizontally, saying lightly: “The Extreme Cold Palace Master is nothing more than this.”
His surname was Jun.
Jun—as in the Jun who reigns supreme over all under heaven!
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
On the martial arts field, Zhong Yi led the Wolf Cavalry Hall still slaughtering without restraint. The Extreme Cold Palace disciples lying on the ground had already suffered thousands of casualties.
As for their high-level forces, they were also firmly pinned down by Ye Xingchen, Zhou Hong, the Ning brothers, and others.
However.
At this moment, no one noticed that Zhen Dejun, that bad old man, was currently strolling leisurely through the Extreme Cold Palace’s outer courtyard, planting array flags in the ground.
“Sect Master.”
After a moment, he spread his arms wide, a nearly twisted sinister smile appearing on his face as he said: “I want to raze this fourth-rate sect to the ground!”
Whoosh!
In an instant, flowing radiance shot up from within the Extreme Cold Palace, forming an array emanating supreme thunder might!
“Not good!”
An Extreme Cold Palace elder with array knowledge exclaimed in shock: “This is a Thunder Gathering Array!”
“Wrong!”
Zhen Dejun wagged his finger and said: “This is the Chain Thunder Gathering Grand Array that this old man newly researched. Once detonated, forget the Extreme Cold Palace—even a hundred-mile radius will be razed to the ground!”
“What!” The faces of the Extreme Cold Palace’s high-level members changed drastically.
“Kekeke!”
Zhen Dejun’s smile became even more twisted, as if he had completely transformed into a pervert. Suppressing his voice, he said: “Are you afraid or not?”
