The Strongest Sect of All Times

The blade was 40 meters in length, so he let the other have a 39 meter head start — how thoughtful and particular!

Zhou Tianba was unable to move under the pressure and his forehead was beaded with sweat, the fear in his eyes only increasing over time. 

“It seems,” Jun Changxiao said. “Big Chief also fears death.”

Zhou Tianba was not someone who particularly feared death. After all, to be a bandit, he had already prepared for death. 

However, under the suppression of the Irretratable Sabre’s aura, he felt unprecedented fear — it seemed that he had entered the depths of hell!

He was afraid. 

At this moment, he wanted to live!

Jun Changxiao said, “So today, this lord will get justice for the common people of Qingyang Commandery, delivering death to you who have killed them in malice.”

“Don’t, don’t, don’t!” Zhou Tianba hurried to cry out. “Sect Head Jun, I am willing to be a disciple of your honorable sect!”

“You still want the money?”

“No! I don’t want it!”

The 40 meter blade was still there; even if you gave him 100% more courage, he still wouldn’t dare. He really regretted why he had to kidnap the Ironbone Unyielding Sect disciples, why he had to provoke such a terrifying guy!

Zhou Tianba did not doubt that if Jun Changxiao had an ounce of killing intent, he and his 200 subordinates would all die today!

Jun Changxiao said, “Big Chief, this lord is very curious, how did you know my name?”

“This…” Zhou Tianba hesitated, then said, “This Zhou heard it from the Hundred Sects Recruitment some time ago.”

Shua!

Jun Changxiao pressed the blade downwards, towards his head. He snorted, “This lord hopes to hear the truth.”

With the blade at his forehead, a palm width away, ZHou Tianba’s face had turned green from fear. 

At this time, he no longer hid anything and trembled. “It… the Spirit Spring Sect! It was the Spirit Spring Sect that gave me a sum of money and told me to kidnap your sect’s disciples, then kill you!”

“Hit the road.”

Jun Changxiao got the answer he was searching for and thus swung. 

Puchi—

Zhou Tianba’s head flew into the air, his mouth still opened in shock. 

That Ironbone Unyielding Sect disciple had been killed by Zhou Tianba; Jun Changxiao killing the big boss could be considered as retributive justice. 

“Big Chief…”

Seeing Zhou Tianba’s headless body falling to the ground, the Black Wind Stronghold was hit with another wave of fear. 

Shua!

Jun Changxiao turned around, his eyes filled with endless killing intent. 

The leaders had all died and the Black Wing Stronghold was now a group of people without any structure. Normally, he would let off these bandits…

Let them off?

Would those who had been whipped to death at the stake agree?

Would those who were hung, those corpses exposed to the sun, agree?!

Would those that had burned to death, those whose eyes were filled with fear and desperation, would they agree?

Finally, would Jun Changxiao agree?

No. 

These inhuman and barbaric creatures… Letting them off was equal to leaving trouble for the future. Therefore, using the 40 meter long blade, Jun Changxiao would deliver justice to those who had died!

“Die.”

Jun Changxiao’s voice was hard and dark. 

At that moment, his entire body was filled with killing intent. 

“No, no!”

Several hundred bandits felt chills and their eyes filled with shock, an intense aura of death creeping down their backs. 

Shua!

Shu!

The sabre light twinkled, blood splattering. 

Even as they were dying, the bandits could not believe that this visitor was such a god of death, such an asura. 

Hu, hu!

For some reason, there seemed to be a face with a frightened expression in the flames of the brazier. Seeing the barbaric bandits dying one by one, its expression seemed to melt into a peaceful smile. 

…

Training field. 

Jun Changxiao stood holding the blade, black hair fluttering. 

Around him was a pile of corpses, blood forming rivers and the air filled with the tang of iron. 

At this point. 

The ten leaders and 200 bandits of the Black Wing Stronghold had all lost their souls to the blade. 

[You have killed 226 people], the system informed him. 

Jun Changxiao, who had not killed anyone before, had slaughtered too many people today. 

“Did they deserve death?”

[If it was your previous world, even if they had committed the worst crimes, they would be placed on trial and punished according to law.]

“This is a different world, which has different principles. Ignoring how they did so many evil acts, kidnapping my disciples is already a crime worthy of death.”

[The host has adapted to Falling Star Continent.]

“I do not change for others. I will make Falling Star Continent adapt to me; anyone who bullies or humiliates my people, must pay the price. That includes the Spirit Spring Sect…”

…

Bzzt!

The Irretractable Sabre twinl;ed and shrunk back to half a foot at once, changing back to the toy knife form. 

“Without it, I really would have had a difficult time saving my disciples today.”

Jun Changxiao inserted the blade back into the scabbard. 

Bzzt!

Instantly, the sabre trembled, resealing automatically. 

Jun Changxiao exclaimed, “It can’t be that it's sealted again!”

[Correct.] The system explained, [The Irretractable Sabre’s strength is great, but it is a double-edged sword; it will burden the user’s body greatly. In order to use it, the host must continue to unseal it with the Seal-Opening Talisman.]

“…”

Jun Changxiao was speechless. 

However, thinking about it, he was a little relieved. This valiant divine weapon was very sharp; it was better to keep it sealed in case anything happened on accident. 

Wait a minute! Jun Changxiao said, “A double-edged sword? It will burden my body?”

The system said, [Do you not feel exhausted?]

“Exhausted? I don’t feel—”

He hadn’t even finished speaking when Jun Changxiao’s body felt like it had just warped dimensions. He immediately collapsed onto the ground. 

The system said, [After using the Irretractable Sabre, the host will be weakened for 30 minutes. He will have no strength or defense; even a three-year-old child would be able to easily kill him.]

“Damn setting…” Jun Changxiao lay there weakly, thinking, It was good I killed them all, otherwise I would have died. 

…

30 minutes quickly passed. 

Jun Changxiao gradually recovered and he jumped to his feet. He walked through the side gates of the main hall and soon found a rock cellar. 

“Sect Head?”

“Sect Head has come, Sect Head is here to save us!”

The more than 30 disciples detained in the cell were first shocked, then shouted with joy!

Clang!

The iron chain was broken and the door opened. 

Jun Changxiao put away the Cold Edge Sword and smiled. “Darlings, you’ve suffered.” 

The key to the Strongest Sect System lay in the disciples, so was it excessive to call them his ‘darlings’? It wasn’t excessive at all, but was actually very sweet and filled with care!

The 30 or so disciples felt their hair stick up, but since the sect head was here personally, they cried tears of emotion. 

…

The training field. 

The rescued disciples looked at the piles of corpses, the scattered limbs and shattered bones, the rivers of blood… Their expressions froze and some were sick to the stomach. 

“Senior brother…” One disciple pointed at Zhou Tianba’s severed head and said, “That’s the bandit’s big boss, but his head was severed!”

Everyone turned to look, sucking in a breath of cold air. 

The bandits had been Qingyang Commandery’s calamity for a very long time; the government and the big sects had been unable to handle them, but they were not massacred — terrifying!

“Were they… were they all killed by Sect Head, by himself?”

“In the stronghold, there was only Sect Head. If he didn’t kill them, then who did? I doubt there was someone else!”

“My god, too terrifying!”

Suddenly, these 30 disciples were filled with worship — their veneration and respect rose just like the water level during a torrential downpour!

Jun Changxiao was not interested in the disciples’ attention and had found an underground passage in Zhou Tianba’s bedroom. 

Walking down the secret passage, he found iron gates and chains blocking his way. Cutting them with a sword, he kicked down the door. Inside were piles of gold, silver, and jewelry. 

“I’m rich, I’m rich!”

Jun Changxiao’s eyes seemed to gleam with gold as he collected everything in the room without hesitation. 

After cleaning the place out, he also collected the Azure Dragon Naginata and the tiger-pelted chair, then led his disciples down the mountain. 

Hu, hu!

The military-base like Black Wind Stronghold could soon be seen covered in flames, as its borders and pillars were soon reduced to ashes. 

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing a hidden mission, {Ridding the people of an evil}, obtaining 50 contribution points!]

[Ding! Sect Contribution: 50/100.]

On the road down the mountain, Jun Changxiao was filled with shock. So destroying the Black Wind Stronghold was actually a hidden mission, with such high rewards too!
