Blossom in an Instant

"Senior Brother Zhuo is about to kneel!" Chang Qianqian exclaimed. Zhong Ling next to her asked in confusion, "What do you mean by 'about to kneel'?"

Having spent so much time with Qin Jun, she hadn't learned much else, except for some slang and vocabulary from Earth.

"It means he's going to lose," Chang Qianqian rolled her eyes. She suddenly understood the disdain on Qin Jun's face when he used these words with her.

Ignorance is truly terrifying!

Although Zhong Ling couldn't see the contempt in Chang Qianqian's heart, she couldn't help but frown. Could Qin Jun really defeat Zhuo Junjie?

Zhuo Junjie was the only genius from the Gan Yue Kingdom to be ranked on the Southern Domain Human Rankings!

What were the Southern Domain Human Rankings?

The Southern Domain had hundreds of kingdoms, large and small, and over ten Imperial Dynasties. The Human Rankings were released by the super-force, the Fate Machine Pavilion, targeting geniuses under fifty years old. There were a thousand spots, and Zhuo Junjie ranked 973rd!

In the entire Southern Domain, there were at least over a hundred million cultivators under fifty. If ordinary people were included, the number would definitely exceed ten billion!

Ranking 973rd out of over a hundred million people, Zhuo Junjie could indeed be considered a super genius!

Although her cultivation was on par with Zhuo Junjie's, Zhong Ling knew she was no match for him. Therefore, hearing Chang Qianqian say Qin Jun would defeat Zhuo Junjie, she couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Junior Sister, you don't know how truly formidable your Senior Brother Zhuo is."

Zhong Ling chuckled and shook her head. Chang Qianqian pouted. Love is blind, after all. Everyone in the sect knows you and Senior Brother Zhuo are an item!

Little did she know, she herself was also blinded by affection.

"What, scared? Aren't you going to make a move?"

Zhuo Junjie said with a playful laugh. At the same time, peach blossoms suddenly began to drift down from the sky. Qin Jun looked at the falling blossoms with a smile, feigning surprise, "I didn't expect the Xuanling Sect to have a peach blossom rain!"

Chang Tianyou and the elders exchanged glances. Were there peach trees on the Xuanling Sect's grounds?

The disciples began to buzz with discussion, while the female disciples looked on with delight. The falling peach blossoms were incredibly beautiful, and combined with the waterfall behind the martial arts stage, the scene exuded an immortal aura.

Zhuo Junjie also started to wonder. He had lived in the Xuanling Sect for over a decade and had never seen a peach tree. Why were peach blossoms falling now?

Soon, peach blossoms landed on his shoulders, head, and clothes. He picked one up, sniffed it, and his face showed an expression of intoxication. So fragrant.

Seeing this, the smile on Qin Jun's lips widened.

These peach blossoms are from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits Transformations, the Blossom in an Instant technique!

Countless peach blossoms fell. When they landed on a person, they would bloom into colorful flowers, instantly devouring all the life force, spirit, energy, and essence of the person hit. Finally, the colorful flowers would wither and condense into immortal peaches containing life force. Consuming them could extend one's lifespan, while the person hit would disappear.

It sounded terrifying, but Qin Jun's cultivation was too low. The Blossom in an Instant he used was not enough to devour Zhuo Junjie, but it could at least consume most of his life force, spiritual energy, and stamina.

Using this technique, Qin Jun's spiritual power was almost depleted. He subtly placed his right hand at his waist and quickly took out the Desert Eagle from his storage ring.

Since this was the Xuanling Sect and Zhuo Junjie had never seen the Blossom in an Instant technique, he was not on guard. In the blink of an eye, over a dozen peach blossoms landed on him. To the female disciples watching from below, it was incredibly cool!

A handsome guy with a peach blossom rain, his idol aura is off the charts!

Zhong Ling gazed at Zhuo Junjie on the martial arts stage with dreamy eyes. The higher-ups of the Xuanling Sect also couldn't see through the strangeness of the peach blossoms, only wondering why they were falling.

Just then, a peach blossom suddenly landed on Chang Tianyou's shoulder. Instantly, Chang Tianyou's expression changed drastically.

"Be careful! These peach blossoms are not right!"

He shouted urgently, startling the disciples into quickly avoiding the peach blossoms. Zhuo Junjie on the martial arts stage did the same. Unfortunately, as soon as he moved, the dozen or so peach blossoms on him began to take effect. His life force, spiritual energy, and stamina rapidly drained away, and the black hair at his temples visibly turned white.

The Blossom in an Instant technique was nothing to true powerhouses, but it was fatal to cultivators still in their mortal state.

"What's happening?"

Zhuo Junjie cried out in horror. Despite being a peak Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, he was utterly defenseless against the Blossom in an Instant technique. The disciples below watched this scene with chilling hearts.

Could it be those peach blossoms?

"It must be that brat!"

An elder pointed at Qin Jun and cursed angrily. Just as he was about to rush onto the martial arts stage, Daji directly blocked him. With a wave of her hand, the elder was sent flying backward.

"Youngsters are fighting, why are elders interfering?"

Daji said coldly, unleashing her Void Transformation Realm aura, forcing the elders to retreat. The disciples stared at her in disbelief.

This incredibly beautiful woman is so powerful!

Meanwhile, Zhuo Junjie, with his life force, spiritual energy, and stamina greatly depleted, knelt on the martial arts stage.

Qin Jun was quick to act and fired his gun. However, Zhuo Junjie was, after all, a genius on the Southern Domain Human Rankings. He quickly rolled to the side, narrowly dodging the shot.

Zhuo Junjie, who had been so debonair moments ago, now found himself in such a predicament, which was quite lamentable.

Although the Blossom in an Instant technique was terrifying, if Zhuo Junjie had known about it, he wouldn't have fallen for the trap. Unfortunately, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits Transformations were not recorded in the Gan Yue Kingdom, and no one in the Xuanling Sect had ever heard of them.

Qin Jun continued to fire his gun at a leisurely pace. Zhuo Junjie could only desperately dodge. At this point, the sky stopped raining peach blossoms, but Zhuo Junjie couldn't recover his peak condition in a short time.

Silence!

All the disciples below the martial arts stage fell silent, watching Qin Jun beating down on the fallen Zhuo Junjie and the disheveled Zhuo Junjie. They felt a sense of unreality.

"How is this possible?"

"Did he summon those peach blossoms just now?"

"Yeah, he had peach blossom petals on him too, why is he fine?"

"Cunning! To resort to such underhanded tactics!"

"Unfair! Senior Brother Zhuo was ambushed!"

Listening to the angry murmurs of the disciples in the audience, Qin Jun curled his lip and smiled. Did he have to introduce his spells in detail to his opponent before a fight?

Brain-dead!

Was this really the Xuanling Sect, one of the three major sects of the Gan Yue Kingdom?

What a disappointment!

As Qin Jun mocked them internally, he continued to shoot at Zhuo Junjie. Soon, Zhuo Junjie was unable to dodge, and bullets struck his thigh, splattering blood onto the training stage. The guy was quite tough, not letting out a single yelp.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Zhuo Junjie was shot in both shoulders and his abdomen, completely losing his ability to fight.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing the Side Quest - Defeat the Xuanling Sect Genius! You have gained 1000 Experience Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for breaking through to the sixth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm!"

Two consecutive system prompts sounded, making Qin Jun feel incredibly satisfied.

I hope no readers will think the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits Transformations are just illusionary techniques. I've already mentioned which thirty-six techniques they are earlier.
