Eternal Strongest Sect - Chapter 25
Chapter 25: Blood Splattering All Around!
There was an infamous mountain named Black Mountain in Qingyang County. This place was the territory of bandits. They would occasionally send out forces down the mountain to plunder and rob people.
Half a month after their last activity, they finally acted again.
They captured over thirty disciples from the Iron Bones Sect and left behind a ransom note.
Bandit groups of other mountains would usually waylay people to rob them of their money and items. Such an act of kidnapping people in broad daylight could truly be said to be quite creative.
“Damn!” Jun Changxiao’s killing intent surged as he walked out of the entrance. “Daring to bully people of my Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect. I don’t care if you are a mountain bandit or a robber. All of you will die!”
It had not been easy for him to recruit one hundred disciples. Now, over thirty had already been kidnapped. This was something he could not endure!
Being able to emit killing intent and saying such ruthless words were sufficient to prove that Jun Changxiao had completely adapted to his new identity and had adapted to the cruel Fallen Star Continent.
“Sect leader!” Li Qingyang rushed out. “This disciple will accompany you there!”
As the second senior martial brother of the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect, he definitely would not be able to remain calm after his junior brothers were kidnapped by mountain bandits.
Lu Qianqian came out as well.
Jun Changxiao halted. “There are still some disciples who have yet to report here. The two of you need to stay in the sect for now. You guys will be responsible for maintaining this place and cleaning it up. There’s no need for you to follow me to Black Mountain.”
Li Qingyang’s expression was heavy. “Sect leader, there are at least two hundred bandits on Black Mountain. It’s also said that the bandit leader has already entered the Martial Apprentice Realm. If you head there alone, I’m afraid…”
“This is an order,” Jun Changxiao said in a heavy voice.
At this moment, he did have the prestige and deposition of a sect leader.
Although he wanted to continue trying, Li Qingyang could only clasp his hands. “I obey Sect Leader’s order.”
Jun Changxiao descended the mountain, his eyes as cold as ever.
Fury.
He was very serious about this!
“Senior sister.” Staring at Jun Changxiao descending the mountain, Li Qingyang could not help but feel worried. “If something happens to the sect leader, what should our Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect do in the future?”
“Very simple.” Lu Qianqian stood before the door. Her arms were crossed before her chest. “I’ll be the sect leader, and you will be the senior disciple.”
Li Qingyang’s lips twitched violently upon hearing this.
…
Black Mountain.
This mountain was located in the wilderness fifty miles away from Qingyang Village.
There were ranges upon ranges of mountains that were extremely steep. The terrain was very dangerous. It was precisely because of the complicated terrain that the mountain bandits were confident in the knowledge that they were safe. This was why they were so brazen, daring to commit outrages down the mountain.
The authorities and forces of many sects had sent their people there to suppress the bandits, but they could do nothing as Black Mountain was a place that was easy to defend and tough to invade. The armed forces could only return in defeat every time.
As time passed, Black Mountain was viewed as a forbidden ground by the cultivators of Qingyang City. No one dared set foot in there.
On a wriggling mountain path, Jun Changxiao was climbing the stairs step by step. If there were cultivators who learned that the Iron Bones Sect Leader was heading up the Black Mountain alone, they would definitely cup their hands and say, “Paying respect to a manly man!”
As Jun Changxiao moved, he was silently contemplating.
How should I handle that group of bandits and save my disciples?
Being angry was being angry; being enraged was being enraged. He finally began to seriously ponder how should he deal with the mountain bandits.
He had learned from Li Qingyang that there not only were two hundred people up the mountain, there might even be a martial apprentice here. If that was truly the case, things would be much more troublesome.
With the low-grade Ice Edge Sword, the Nine Stances Wavestack Sword, opening ten meridians out of the twelve, there should not be any problems for Jun Changxiao to deal with over twenty people at the fourth or fifth stage with his current strength. However, it would really be pushing it to deal with over two hundred people.
In addition, if there really was a martial apprentice, this trip up the mountains might be easy, but it would be extremely difficult for him to travel back down.
Jun Changxiao turned his attention to his interspatial ring. He stared at the speed charm and evasion charm in the newbie pack as he silently mused, These two charms are not suitable for fighting.
And just so coincidentally at this moment, his gaze swept over to the nanshou blade.
As he looked at this, he felt a surge of anger. After all, he had casually spoken, and the system treated it as his first wish, gifting him this blade!
Jun Changxiao weighed the nanshou blade in hand and discovered that it was quite heavy. He mumbled, “What grade is this?”
He subconsciously pulled on the blade hilt and pulled it out from the sheath.
Bang!
A booming sound rang out.
Jun Changxiao was flung back over ten meters by the impact.
In the outside world, his body subconsciously retreated many steps, and he almost collapsed.
Jun Changxiao felt a lingering fear in his heart. “How dangerous!”
Earlier, when he pulled out the blade, a violent surge of aura had abruptly manifested in the space between the blade and sheath. If he did not react fast enough and toss the blade away, he most probably would have been injured by the explosion of that aura!
The system’s voice rang out. “The nanshou blade can only be used after its seal is lifted. If you forcefully unsheathed it, you will only injure yourself.”
Jun Changxiao broke down. “Why didn’t you say anything earlier!”
“You didn’t ask,” the system replied.
“…” Jun Changxiao was speechless.
After calming down, he actually spoke with joy. “The explosion of aura is so terrifying. The grade of the nanshou blade is definitely very high. Maybe it can be of help to me in rescuing my disciples?”
In an instant, Sect Leader Jun’s confidence was boosted greatly.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, his footsteps halted.
Two burly guys with weapons stood before the stone steps ahead. There were malicious smiles on their faces.
“Sixth bro.” The shorter person swept a glance at Jun Changxiao. He then laughed. “Am I seeing things? There’s actually someone who dares head up Black Mountain?”
The man named ‘sixth bro’ swept a glance over and calmly said, “He looks like he would fall if the wind was a little more intense. He should be some literary person here for a scenic tour.”
Swish!
The shorter man jumped down. He brandished the ringed blade in his hand as he sinisterly said, “Brat, do you know that you just entered a bandit nest?”
Jun Changxiao had a calm look on his face. “Yup.”
The shorter man started. He then grinned. “Since you know it, why did you dare enter? Could it be you are tired of life?”
“Are you a bandit?” Jun Changxiao asked.
The shorter man placed the ringed blade on his shoulder and spoke with pride. “That’s right. This daddy is a bandit of Black Mountain. Others gave me the nickname of Metal Blade Little Tyrant King.
Jun Changxiao shook his head. Even a bandit has such an intense sense of superiority. Public morals are truly degenerating with each passing day.
The bandit named sixth bro impatiently said, “Seventh bro, stop wasting time with him. Finish him quickly.”
“Sure.” Metal Blade Little Tyrant King showed a malicious face. “Brat, do you want to take the initiative and hand over all your valuables, or do you want me, the seventh master, to search you instead?”
“Search me then.”
Metal Blade Little Tyrant King laughed sinisterly. “The consequences of making me search you will be that you shall be diced into eight pieces.”
“What if I take the initiative to hand my valuables over?”
“I can keep your corpse whole,” Metal Blade Little Tyrant King said.
Jun Changxiao touched his nose. “You mean that no matter what I choose, I will die here today for sure?”
“Hahaha!” Metal Blade Little Tyrant King laughed loudly. “Brat, once you entered the Black Mountain, it was destined that you will die for sure. You have no chance of liv…”
Buzz!
It was unknown when Jun Changxiao unsheathed his Ice Edge Sword and directly piercing it into his opponent’s chest. He lowered his voice. “I apologize. This seat hasn’t lived long enough yet. Hence, I can only trouble you to die first.”
Metal Blade Little Tyrant King was startled. After that, his expression turned wretched. The intense pain began coursing through his entire body.
Buzz!
Jun Changxiao pulled his sword out.
Metal Blade Little Tyrant King’s body rolled down the mountains, leaving behind traces of blood on the stone steps.
“Seventh bro!”
The bandit named sixth bro pulled out his saber in rage.
Swish!
But the Ice Edge Sword was already placed against his neck.
Jun Changxiao’s gaze was ice-cold. “Answer me, are you guys the one who kidnapped the disciples of the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect?”
Gurgle!
The bandit named sixth bro gulped down a mouthful of saliva and said in a panic, “Yes…”
Buzz!
A sword slashed past as blood splattered around.
Wu…
The bandit clutched his throat which was spraying blood. When his consciousness dissipated, his body rolled down the mountain like Metal Blade Little Tyrant King.
Swish, swish, swish!
After killing the two of them, the commotion alerted the people further up the mountain. Over ten bandits brandished their weapons as they rushed down, staring with rage at Jun Changxiao.
Keng!
Jun Cangxiao retracted his sword as he calmly said, “Tell your leader that the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect Leader is here to get his disciples back.”
