Eternal Strongest Sect - Chapter 30

Chapter 30: It’s Hard to Take Back a Blade Once It Has Been Pulled Out

The nanshou blade was so short and small it looked like a mini toy. Hence, the bandits laughed heartily when they saw it.

Jun Changxiao could not wait to dig a hole in the ground and hide inside. It was too f*cking embarrassing!

Impossible, that was impossible.

A blade that needed to be unsealed by the unseal charm would definitely not be so small and weak. It had to have its own extraordinary aspects!

Jun Changxiao comforted himself while pressing two fingers on the blade handle. His gaze was cold and stern when he said, “Be good and hand over my sect’s disciples. I’ll still give you some leeway for discussion. Otherwise, don’t blame this seat for starting a massacre in Blackwind Stronghold!”

Even if it was embarrassing, he still had to forcefully continue acting cool.

But it seemed too comical that he was holding a mini blade that looked like a toy.

“A massacre? Using that blade?”

“Can this blade even cut a watermelon?”

“After removing the blade handle, if the remaining blade body can even slice an apple, it will be amazing!”

“Bahaha!”

“No way, my stomach is aching from all this laughter…”

Many bandits were laughing to the extent they were hunched over, and tears were flowing out.

“Little kid.” The four bosses were either holding their fists or swaying their weapons as they walked over. “Are you risking your life to be a joke?”

Hu!

Jun Changxiao breathed out a puff of air and said, “You can take it as a joke.”

“Stop the nonsense.” Zhou Tianba was getting impatient. “Quickly capture him and search for valuable items on him.”

“Roger!”

The four bosses took the command, and after confirming each other’s gazes, they dashed over in unity.

This time, their attacks were enough to cover more than half the area. Jun Changxiao found it hard to dodge and was forced into the corner.

The only exception was if he dashed out of this entire area.

However, there were a few hundred bandits out there.

Without a slightest doubt, Jun Changxiao knew that the moment he stepped out of this area, he would immediately be engulfed by the waves of bandits. Hence, he was stuck in this passive state.

There was no other choice.

He could only utilize the unseal charm.

Bang!

Just as the four bosses were about to attack, Jun Changxiao’s intention blended into the interspatial ring. Without any hesitation, he crushed the unseal charm into pieces.

Ding!

“Host has used one unseal charm!”

Ding!

“The nanshou blade is unsealed!”

When the system’s notification sounds rang, Jun Changxiao could evidently feel spirit energy starting to coat the nanshou blade in his hands.

Hu hu!

At that moment, the four bosses came attacking from different directions. Some of them had leaped high up into the sky, some had stretched out both their fists, some were striking with their blades, and some were pressing on him with their wolf-fang mace.

The situation was extremely dangerous!

Jun Changxiao was trapped in calamity. He pressed his left finger on the scabbard and right finger on the blade handle. His figure was presented in a semi bow state as he prayed for a miracle to happen while not forgetting to remain in his posture by saying, “Bankai[1].”

Hu hu!

On the drill ground, rays of light burst into shots.

The flash of lighting was so strong that the bandits found it hard to open their eyes. Even Zhou Tianba, who had reached the Martial Apprentice Realm, had closed his eyes and revealed a face of astonishment.

With this sudden flickering of brilliant rays, could it be that the ordinary small blade was indeed a high-grade weapon?

As he was pondering, the strong rays of light abruptly became weaker, and Zhou Tianba was able to open his eyes. Suddenly, he realized that something similar to the sharp point of a blade was pointed at his nose less than a finger’s length away.

It was not simply something similar. It was a sharp blade!

Zhou Tianba focused and followed his gaze along the sharp blade. He saw Jun Changxiao standing forty meters away with one hand holding the blade handle. In the distance, between himself and Jun Changxiao, he could see something floating in the air. It was a very, very long… blade!

There was complete silence outside of the drill ground.

More than two hundred people and two hundred pairs of eyes were fixated on the blade from different angles. The blade was so long that its body extended all the way to the big boss’ nose. All their expressions were frozen in that moment.

Where were the four bosses who were attacking him?

They had been scattered on the floor with some of their bodies either severed from waist down or cut in half. The fresh blood from their bodies was mixing with the soil on the ground.

They were all dead.

The moment Jun Changxiao drew his blade and brilliant rays started flickering, they had all died under the big blade that was forty meters long.

Gulp!

Zhou Tianba swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and cold droplets of sweat formed on his forehead. His palms resting on the armrest were trembling slightly.

There was nothing scary about the long blade. What was scary was the cold light one could sense from the tip of the blade. There was a strong and suppressive power exuding from the blade that would cause one’s breathing to be stifled.

He felt without the slightest doubt that if Jun Changxiao had moved forward any further, his own head would have easily been slashed off by the blade!

This was definitely not just a mortal-grade item. It was definitely a mid-grade blade!

The big boss was instantly suspicious about the nanshou blade’s quality. His heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and his eyes shone with terror.

The two bosses sitting on both sides were overwhelmed with shock and dared not take any action. After all, the blade was so long that it was capable of chopping them from just a simple brandish.

“Is this the nanshou blade?”

Jun Changxiao was holding onto the forty-meter-long blade with a single arm, his face filled with fascination.

After the seal was unlocked, the first weapon the system gifted did not cause him to be disappointed. The aura and might it exuded was far superior to the low-grade Ice Edge Sword.

But this f*cking forty meters was too long!

He had initially thought that the blade was too short, but now he found it too long. This fella was hard to please!

Zhou Tianba was angered by the pointed blade but suppressed his fear and said, “Sect Leader Jun! Please sheathe the blade. Let’s talk it out nicely!”

He was scared. He was really scared!

Jun Changxiao replied calmly, “Since this seat has pulled out my forty meters long blade, it’s hard to put it back now. So…”

Swoosh!

He moved his wrist and the big blade cut off the second boss’ head immediately. “Prepare a good burial for him.”

Plonk!

The head fell on the ground. His facial features and expression remained in shock.

Jun Changxiao’s blade speed was not quick. The second boss could have easily dodged it with his cultivation. However, why was he still beheaded?

It was because when the nanshou blade was in action, it would follow the user’s intention and lock its target in advance. When the strong power and suppression exploded, the target would find it hard to even move a single inch.

In other words, the second boss was just like a prisoner with his hands and legs tied up behind his body. All he could do was kneel on the ground and wait to be beheaded.

This was the first weapon gifted by the system.

This was the nanshou blade that could only be used after being unlocked by the unseal charm.

After he tested the blade, Jun Changxiao smiled in satisfaction. “Valiant.”

…

Previously, if the second boss was killed, the bandits would have been fuming with so much anger that they would attack him regardless of anything.

However, now, they all cowered in fear outside the drill ground. Their faces were overwhelmed with shock, and their gazes were filled with a deep sense of fear!

A blade measuring forty meters long.

That fellow could casually turn his wrist, and the blade would immediately sweep over, killing a substantial number of them!

Who dared attack? Who dared dash forward?

Would they be spared of the disaster if they did not attack or dash forward?

The answer was impossible!

Swoosh!

Jun Changxiao waved his right hand, and a ray of light flowed from the forty-meter-long blade. It felt as though he had activated an unparalleled method of mowing grass. He immediately severed over twenty bandits’ bodies from their waists.

Bang!

The last two bosses sitting on the chairs slammed both their palms on the arm rests. They exploded their twelfth stage of cultivation and came attacking from both sides.

A weapon’s length had its own pros and cons. Even though long weapons were good at attacking groups from a large distance, they had to abstain from close-range fights. The two bosses dashed over quickly during the gap when Jun Changxiao was planning to attack, in the hope of restricting him by getting up close!

That was useless.

As Jun Changxiao turned his head to stare at them, the nanshou blade swept over with its explosive power and suppression, causing the two of them to freeze on the spot.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

A ray of light beamed from the blade and the human heads flew out.

So far, eight heads from Blackwind Stronghold had perished in total. It was only left with the chief, Zhou Tianba.

Swoosh!

Jun Changxiao held up the forty-meter-long blade and walked step by step toward the raised platform.

Due to the fact that he was targeted, even though Zhou Tianba was a Martial Apprentice Realm cultivator, he could not move an inch under the frightening and suppressing power. He could only look in fear as Jun Changxiao, who looked like a demon, moved closer with every step.

Tap.

Jun Changxiao pressed one foot onto the step of the platform. He pulled the nanshou blade with one arm and pointed toward the spacious area outside. “This seat shall allow you to run for thirty-nine meters away first.”
