Eternal Strongest Sect - Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Trump Card

“My heavens!”

“Sixth boss’s speed is so swift!”

“I can only see his shadow. I can’t even see the corner of his clothes!”

“Is this a mid-tier mortal-grade movement art? How terrifying!”

The eyes of the bandits were filled with worship and envy.

“Not bad, not bad.” Zhou Tianba, who was seated on the platform outside, spoke in satisfaction. “Old sixth’s seven steps shadow has improved quite a bit compared to half-a-year ago.”

The second boss, who was standing at the side, was the man with the fair and clear skin. He laughed. “Given sixth bro’s current speed, it’s an extremely difficult task to capture him even for me.”

“If second bro can’t do it, the rest of us bros would naturally find it impossible.” A fatty with large ears, the fourth boss, grinned widely.

Why could they be so casual and chat like this in such a relaxed manner? Because, after the sixth boss increased his speed, he was not in a hurry to attack Jun Changxiao. Instead, he was moving around Jun Changxiao rapidly.

“Brat! Let this daddy show you what speed is!”

Swish! Swish!

The sixth boss’s movements continued to speed up, causing numerous shadows to flit across the drill grounds. The wind generated from the movements caused clouds of dust to be kicked up.

The second boss shook his head and smiled. “Sixth bro is playing with this fellow.”

“No matter how fast his sword is, it’s impossible for it to be faster than sixth bro’s wind-like speed.”

The few bandit leaders had smiles on their faces.

“Sixth boss, sever the tendons of this fellow and dig out his eyes. We will feed his eyes to the fish in the tank and let all our bros enjoy the sight!”

The hundreds of bandits shouted loudly in excitement.

Jun Changxiao, who was standing on the drill grounds, was buffeted by the wind so much that his hair became disheveled. There was also sand and dirt on his face. Hence, he impatiently said, “You are like a fly constantly buzzing beside my ears.”

Swish!

As he stepped out, the low-grade Ice Edge Sword appeared in his hands. The sword then ferociously stabbed forward.

Sadly, it did not manage to pierce the sixth boss, who was moving at extreme speeds.

“Hahaha!”

“Sixth boss’s speed is so swift. If he could hit him by randomly attacking, that would really be…”

Buzz!

As he spoke, the bandits saw an object being flung through the air from the drill grounds. That object traveled in a perfect arc and slammed onto the ground outside the area.

When they glanced over, it was none other than the six boss’s bald head!

The expressions of the bandits immediately changed. They hurriedly turned their attention back, but the shadows flitting across the drill grounds had completely vanished. The headless body of the sixth boss ran a few more laps around before falling onto the ground. Fresh blood sprayed out from his neck like spring water.

Jun Changxiao maintained his sword posture as he calmly said, “Idiot, don’t you know how to change direction properly? Did you purposely place your neck in line with my sword?”

So, it turned out that Jun Changxiao had earlier rotated his wrist and placed the sword horizontally instead of vertically.

The sixth boss was running circles in a clockwise direction. Due to his quick speed, he could not stop in time and involuntarily slammed into the sword edge. His neck directly flew out from the impact.

The sixth boss who was executing the seven steps shadow was truly extremely fast. Given Jun Changxiao’s cultivation base, which was at the tenth stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, it was very hard for him to track his opponent. However, a fight did not simply depend on one’s capabilities. Brains were needed too, or there would be no difference between one and an ignorant person.

…

“Sixth younger bro!”

“Sixth elder bro!”

“Sixth boss!”

Cries of sorrow rang out from outside the drills ground.

Hu, hu!

In an instant, auras filled with anger emanated forth. The two hundred bandits all locked onto Jun Changxiao. Their eyes gleamed with unmasked killing intent!

“Despicable!”

The eighth boss with the skinny figure as well and the seventh boss with the short stature rushed onto the drill grounds. They wielded a monk’s knife and a wolf-fang mace respectively.

Bandits were bandits after all. After seeing their comrade being killed, under the anger, they did not care about winning with numbers.

Swish!

Jun Changxiao executed his movements steps and evaded their attacks with a smile. “What’s wrong? He lost to this seat, so you guys are preparing to win with numbers?”

“Die!”

The fourth boss and fifth boss launched sneak attacks on him from the back, their fists were glowing with spirit energy.

Swish!

Jun Changxiao sidestepped and moved to the left. The smile on his face vanished as his eyes gleamed coldly.

He could already tell that these cruel bandits could not care less about the rules of the pugilistic world. They were determined to kill him.

“Big boss!” Jun Changxiao calmly spoke. “Is this how your Blackwind Stronghold treats a guest?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tianba almost coughed out blood from anger.

After ascending Black Mountain, you are the one who killed two of my subordinates first.

After entering Blackwind Stronghold, you killed two of my subordinates. How can you still claim that you are a guest?

“Humph!” Zhou Tianba’s eyes flashed with malice. “Brat, since you killed someone from my Blackwind Stronghold, even if you paid the ransom today, I’ll still take your life.”

Swish! Swish!

While speaking, the four bandit leaders rushed over to attack.

Jun Changxiao was not confident that he could deal with four twelfth stage experts with his low-grade Ice Edge Sword. He immediately executed the Flowing Cloud Step to evade.

This Flowing Cloud Step was something he had learned in passing after offering guidance to a martial apprentice in Qingyang City. Its grade was not as high as the seven steps shadow, but it was still a low-tier martial-grade movement art. It was enough for him to evade the attacks from these four.

Thud, thud, thud!

Jun Changxiao darted left and right. After that, he stopped at a safe location and coldly said, “It’s you guys who forced this seat to use my trump card!”

Hu, hu!

His body began to generate spirit energy.

“Trump card?”

“Our Blackwind Stronghold has so many people. Since he is alone, he will die for sure even if he has a trump card!”

The bandits sneered.

The four bosses stopped their attacks. They were waiting to see what trump card Jun Changxiao would take out.

Zhou Tianba had a look of interest on his face. “Brat, I actually hope you will be able to take out a not-too-bad trump card.”

Bandit groups were formed because they wanted to kill and plunder. If Jun Changxiao had an impressive trump card such as a powerful weapon or treasure, they would definitely want to snatch it.

“Hu!”

While Jun Changxiao was manifesting spirit energy, he was breathing deeply.

A moment later, the low-grade Ice Edge Sword in his hand vanished as another weapon replaced it.

When facing a martial apprentice, six experts at the twelfth stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, and two hundred bandits who wanted his death, he finally brought out the first gift the system had given him.

“A blade?” Zhou Tianba shook his head in disappointment.

He was also a blade user. His blade was the one that had lopped off the head of the disciple of the Iron Bone Sect earlier. His blade was a high-tier mortal-grade weapon, something an old man had given him when he was roaming the pugilistic world in the past. Its name was the Azure Dragon Naginata.

Wait a minute!

Isn’t the blade of this fellow… a little too short?

At this moment, Jun Changxiao’s lips were twitching too. This was the first time he summoned the nanshou blade. Only now did he discover that this item was merely half-a-foot long!

Half-a-foot…

It was the size of a normal toothbrush.

Luckily, it was one inch thick. If not, Jun Changxiao would have felt like an idiot, using a toothbrush to face off against his enemies.

Unscientific, too unscientific.

In the interspatial ring, its length was clearly over three feet. Why was it so tiny when he took it out? Even if he was misinformed by the system, the difference was a little too much.

“Is this weapon that he’s taken out a blade?”

“Even an ordinary dagger seems to be longer than his so-called blade!”

“Damn, even this daddy’s little bro is longer than this nonsense!”

“Hahaha!”

The hundreds of bandits began laughing uproariously.
