Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Adding Insult to Injury

"Abyss Sect? What’s that? It will sooner or later be trampled under the feet of my master, Your Highness!"

Lei Zhenzi looked down upon Elder An and taunted him, his right hand suddenly exerting force, pressing down the ground beneath Elder An, causing the soil to sink.

This scene made Qin Jun’s blood boil, and it swept away the gloom in his heart.

"See? I told you I wouldn’t let you all fall here."

Qin Jun said with difficulty, smiling despite the pain in his body that felt as though it was tearing apart, but he kept on smiling.

Evening Star and the others exchanged glances, all shocked by his tactics.

Qin Jun was like an unfathomable deep pool, his depth hard to gauge. Sha Wujing and Red Boy had felt the same before; this guy seemed to have already established a colossal force, only revealing it bit by bit to the world.

Although curious, as subordinates, they would not ask more. And a master like Qin Jun, though weak, provided a sense of security.

At least, no matter how perilous the situation, he could always lead everyone to turn danger into safety.

Boom!

An earth-shattering explosion pulled everyone’s thoughts back to reality. A gigantic mushroom cloud rose up in front of them and Elder An quickly flew out from it, with Lei Zhenzi holding the Golden Staff right behind him, chasing at an incredibly fast pace, both covering thousands of meters in the blink of an eye.

Clearly aware that he was no match for Lei Zhenzi, Elder An attempted to escape through a teleportation black hole in the sky, but unfortunately for him, Lei Zhenzi was faster, intercepting him instantly. With a mighty swing of his staff, the impact was heavy and forceful.

Bang—

Elder An was struck on the right shoulder, feeling as if his arm no longer belonged to him, the extreme pain prompting him to scream. His body uncontrollably fell from the sky.

He crashed into the ruins like a heavy artillery shell, making Bone Eroding Tribulation watching from a distance involuntarily swallow.

"An Yansha is a powerhouse from the Golden Immortal Realm... How can he be powerless to fight back..."

Bone Eroding Tribulation muttered to himself. An Yansha was Elder An’s name. To Bone Eroding Tribulation, he outwardly showed great respect, but deep down he despised An Yansha. Known for his arrogance within the Abyss Sect, he respected no one except for the sect master, offending countless people.

Yet, Bone Eroding Tribulation knew of An Yansha’s strength, outstanding even in the entire Southern Domain.

Seeing An Yansha being suppressed by Lei Zhenzi now, how could he not be shocked?

Just then, a huge copper bracelet emerged from the rolling dust, followed by An Yansha flying out. His right hand seemingly effortlessly held the enormous copper bracelet, like an ant lifting a bowl. When this image was magnified countless times, the visual impact was truly astounding.

"So you’re Lei Zhenzi? I’ll make you regret opposing our Abyss Sect!"

An Yansha roared furiously, raising the giant copper bracelet towards Lei Zhenzi. His aura burst forth completely, changing the color of the sky, and even Qin Jun and the others, thousands of meters away, had to shield their faces from the fierce winds.

"How high have these two’s cultivation reached? They are too strong..."

Sha Wujing gritted his teeth and asked, his face full of apprehension.

The others might not have spoken, but their expressions were similar to his. Qin Jun alone was exhilarated.

He was finally able to understand how An Yansha must have felt earlier. The more the enemy struggled, the more thrilling it was!

Facing An Yansha, whose aura had reached its peak, Lei Zhenzi scoffed. He wielded the Golden Staff with both hands and smashed it down without any fancy spells, simple and brutal. He relied solely on his Vajra body for combat, or rather, his body was his greatest reliance.

This is true for any cultivator who specializes in physical prowess!

Clang! A loud noise!

The Golden Staff struck the giant copper bracelet, and a blinding light burst forth, turning the royal city into daylight. Even the rolling thunderclouds in the sky dispersed, the ground shook, and the sky roared with thunder and lightning interweaving between An Yansha and Lei Zhenzi.

An Yansha looked up at Lei Zhenzi, his teeth clenched in fury and the veins on his neck bulging. In contrast, Lei Zhenzi’s gruesome face was filled with a mocking smile.

The higher the realm, the bigger the gap between each minor level. Take the Golden Immortal Realm, for example; with similar levels of magical weapons, it would be very difficult for a first layer Golden Immortal to defeat a second layer one, let alone the fourth layer. Furthermore, An Yansha didn’t possess any heaven-defying Divine Powers; if not for the gigantic copper bracelet, he would have already lost by now!

Lei Zhenzi started to exert more force, pressing down both the giant copper bracelet and An Yansha continuously.

"No good! I can’t beat him at all!"

An Yansha was frantic. Most critically, he felt that Lei Zhenzi had yet to use his full strength and was merely toying with him. This sense of humiliation made him want to explode.

"You were quite the jumper, weren’t you? Why are you not so arrogant now? Just try to kill me, will you!"

Just then, Qin Jun’s voice suddenly came through, infuriating An Yansha to the point of almost coughing up blood.

Evening Star and the others watched Qin Jun, who couldn’t stop coughing up blood, speechlessly. This guy was seriously injured and still taunting the enemy.

And his words sounded so cheap!

"Can’t you be a little more behaved?" Daji rebuked sweetly, pinching Qin Jun’s waist as she spoke.

After Lei Zhenzi appeared, everyone was no longer tense but completely relaxed, watching An Yansha get beaten breathless. They were as delighted as Qin Jun, though they wouldn’t kick someone when they were down as Qin Jun did.

"Isn’t it delightful to kick a dog when it’s down?"

Qin Jun wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled, raising his spirit forcefully and yelling, "You old dog of the Abyss Sect, didn’t you claim to be one of the top experts in the Southern Domain? Why can’t you handle it now? Or is the might of the Abyss Sect just hot air?"

"You were asking me earlier if I regretted offending you. Now I’m asking you, do you regret stupidly seeking revenge on me?"

People within miles could hear his voice, civilians and cultivators alike were stunned. Had Qin Jun really turned defeat into victory?

"Ah! Qin Jun, I will not be human if I don’t kill you!"

An Yansha bellowed furiously, putting everyone on edge.

"Oh, losing your cool? Can’t you handle it? You don’t have the demeanor of a strong person at all!"

"Pfft—"

An Yansha’s blood flow reversed, and he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, Lei Zhenzi suddenly applied more force, pressing him and the giant copper bracelet towards the ground.

It was like Mount Tai crashing down, the whole capital shook, and Qin Jun nearly lost his balance.

"Your Highness... is this Lei Zhenzi really one of your subordinates?"

Daji swallowed hard and couldn’t help asking, her stunning face full of shock. Having their memories wiped clean, this was the first time they witnessed a battle between Golden Immortal powerhouses. The mere pressure emitted by them made their souls tremble.

Qin Jun responded mysteriously, "The secrets of heaven must not be revealed."

He felt inwardly relieved. If he hadn’t agreed to the system’s conditions, they might indeed have perished here today.

Hopefully, the so-called collection tasks from the system wouldn’t be too difficult...

Just then, Lei Zhenzi came from the rolling dust, holding An Yansha by the neck. At this moment, An Yansha no longer had his previous domineering attitude, his body bloodied and miserable.

If he had faced an energy refining powerhouse, perhaps it would have been different, but unfortunately, Lei Zhenzi was a physique cultivator.
