As Jun Changxiao finished speaking, Zilin Demon King walked out from the stronghold, then stopped in front of Kindly Brow and Wrathful Gaze, raised both hands, directly gripped their heads, and raised a sinister smile at the corners of his mouth.
The gazes of the nine Earth-tier powerhouses immediately turned cold.
Actually, they had already seen the restrained Kindly Brow Sage and Wrathful Gaze Fiend earlier but hadn’t moved to rescue them, thinking that since they’d come, if Xingyun Continent had any sense, they would obediently release the two.
Typical of taking themselves too seriously.
If Sect Master Jun had any sense, would he have tied them to pillars?
“Nine of you.”
“If you want them to live, exchange them with martial cultivation resources from your plane, such as crystal cores, medicinal materials, ores, spirit stones.”
Each plane had different realm systems, but martial cultivation resources were roughly the same. What Jun Changxiao mentioned, Nine Heavens Continent really did have.
However.
After hearing what he said, the nine Earth-tier powerhouses’ faces grew even longer.
At this moment, they understood—Xingyun Continent had tied up Kindly Brow and Wrathful Gaze specifically to extort them!
“Boy.”
The bald elder sneered, “You’ve got quite some guts to dare extort our Nine Heavens Continent.”
“The timid starve while the bold feast.”
Jun Changxiao leaned forward, resting his hands on his legs, and smiled, “Since death comes either way, this seat would rather be stuffed to death than starve.”
The mutton-chopped elder said, “Just afraid you’ll be given things but won’t have the ability to be stuffed to death.”
“As long as you bring the ransom, what happens after isn’t your concern.” Jun Changxiao said.
The bald elder rubbed his shiny head and said, “What if we don’t take things to ransom people?”
Jun Changxiao casually took out a recommendation ticket given by a reader from his spatial ring, tore it into strips with a smile, “Then of course we’ll tear up the tickets.”
“Tear up the tickets?”
The bald elder narrowed his eyes and said, “If you dare, don’t think about taking half a step out of your stronghold.”
They couldn’t get in, but they could blockade!
Xingyun Continent’s plane territory was just this small—they definitely needed to develop. They’d kill anyone who came out.
Jun Changxiao felt a bit depressed.
He controlled two Earth-tier powerhouses from their continent but ended up being counter-threatened—this was really too embarrassing.
No.
He had to do something!
“Snap!”
Jun Changxiao snapped his fingers.
“Boom!”
Zilin Demon King, upon receiving the order, threw a punch at Wrathful Gaze Elder’s chest!
Although the latter was unconscious, being attacked involved his damaged meridians, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood with a “wah.”
Seeing their own people already severely injured yet still being so brutally abused, the nine elders all glared with fury.
That bald guy said coldly, “Boy, you’re courting death!”
“Cut the crap.”
Jun Changxiao said impatiently, “One million natural spirit stones per head, one million high-grade crystal cores, one million high-grade medicinal herbs. If you can’t produce them, this old man will kill them immediately!”
Playing civilized was too tiring. He had to be savage, had to be domineering.
Boom!
Zilin Demon King cooperated with the sect master, throwing another punch at Wrathful Gaze Fiend’s chest, fully demonstrating what it meant to be a scoundrel!
“…”
The nine Earth-tier powerhouses’ expressions fluctuated, the anger and killing intent emanating from their bodies growing increasingly intense.
A low-tier plane actually dared to publicly extort them—this was intolerable!
“Boom!”
Zilin Demon King threw another punch!
“Wah!”
Wrathful Gaze Fiend spat blood again.
If this guy were still conscious, he’d definitely break down and say, “Why always hit me? Why not hit him!”
As Zilin Demon King continuously struck, martial artists from various planes had successively flown over and witnessed the entire process, their expressions becoming wonderfully complicated.
Tying Kindly Brow and Wrathful Gaze to pillars and making Nine Heavens Continent pay ransom, tearing up the tickets if they didn’t—Xingyun Continent’s guts had really gone sky-high!
Or perhaps.
Knowing they couldn’t reconcile, they simply chose to break the jar?
Awesome!
Really awesome!
Martial artists from various planes admired Jun Changxiao’s style to the point of prostration.
Of course, they also knew that while this was satisfying, it would completely offend Nine Heavens Continent to death. They could forget about mixing in the Plane Battlefield in the future.
“Boom!”
“Crack—”
Zilin Demon King threw another punch, shattering Wrathful Gaze Fiend’s chest bones.
Seeing their own people being so trampled, the nine Earth-tier powerhouses’ fury blazed to the heavens, killing intent permeating the entire region. Under the mixture of nine explosive powers, space began to distort violently.
The Plane Battlefield’s spatial barriers were very thick, but they couldn’t withstand so many powerhouses releasing power collectively.
“Retreat, retreat!”
The spectating martial artists hurriedly withdrew to even farther distances, afraid of being implicated.
However, no matter how the Nine Heavens Continent powerhouses erupted, Xingyun Continent’s stronghold interior remained undisturbed.
“Sect Master.”
Elder Ding transmitted, “They probably won’t pay the ransom. Be careful—they might attack to snatch people.”
“Mm.”
Jun Changxiao said, “Hall Master Zi, be sure to control those two guys well. Don’t let Nine Heavens Continent snatch them.”
He could have killed Kindly Brow and Wrathful Gaze, but the contribution points had already been obtained. Why not maximize their value and earn more martial cultivation resources for himself?
“Hmph.”
Zilin Demon King sneered and said, “With this king here, no one can snatch them away.”
Using Rejoice, he was just this confident.
“Eightfold Space Binding!”
Suddenly, the bald elder shouted angrily. The surrounding space immediately rippled, and the sand and dust that had been drifting with the wind became frozen in place.
“A space martial technique?” Ding Xingwang’s face changed dramatically!
Space-type martial arts existed in Xingyun Continent too, but they were extremely rare, and after experiencing the War of the Gods, they had already been lost.
“Be careful!”
Ding Xingwang shouted, “He’s going to snatch them!”
“Boom!”
As his words fell, violent power erupted outside the stronghold. The originally bound space immediately unsealed, rolling up layers of dust.
“Whoosh—”
The bald guy who had deployed space martial techniques to seal space and tried to snatch Kindly Brow and Wrathful Gaze flew out from the dust, then extremely awkwardly steadied his body in midair.
“You think this king doesn’t exist?”
Zilin Demon King’s entire naked body was exposed in place, his school uniform blown off again.
“How is this possible…” The bald guy was filled with disbelief.
Although Eightfold Space Binding couldn’t absolutely seal space, it could at least seal it for a brief few breaths. Taking this opportunity to rescue people would be absolutely fine.
But the result was that when he rushed over, that guy threw a heavy punch, completely unaffected by the space binding!
Not right!
This shouldn’t be!
A demon king that required five Martial Saints working together to seal—wanting to control him alone was a bit of a pipe dream.
“Attack!”
The mutton-chopped elder shouted coldly, then burst forward.
“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
Four other Earth-tier powerhouses moved together.
Paying ransom was impossible—they could only rely on superior strength to snatch people!
They absolutely didn’t believe that nine of them couldn’t snatch people from one opponent who seemed to be at a similar level!
“Trash!”
Facing five Earth-tier powerhouses pressing down, Zilin Demon King sneered, then spread both arms. Violent energy immediately surged from his body, then shot toward the sky like a light curtain.
“Such strong demon energy!”
“This guy isn’t human!”
