Chapter 1370 Fang Tu Soars to the Rankings, Divine Phoenix Shakes the Sky [Part Two]

"Ha ha……"

Xue Yizun rolled his eyes and said, "Night Demon isn't stupid, why would he run into a knife's edge... You're so funny!"

Fang Che laughed and said, "Why don't we wait a bit?"

"Most of the experts have already made their moves, and neither of us has moved. That means one of us must be waiting for Night Demon, or even both of us. If you were a high-ranking member of our righteous sect, would you dare let Night Demon go at this time?"

Xue Yizun squeezed the black pupils of her eyes so far that they disappeared completely, and looked at Fang Che with this expression, saying, "President Fang, are you making a fool of me?"

"No, your innate abilities are lacking," Fang Che said arrogantly.

"……Grass!"

Xue Yizun thought for a while before he understood, and couldn't help but curse, saying, "President Fang, actually, you're a bit of a jerk. I had a slight feeling about it before, but I'm only sure now."

"Don't insult my character! Who are you calling despicable?"

Fang Che couldn't stand being called cheap. In his heart, he had always been a gentleman, upright and righteous. Upon hearing this, he immediately became furious: "What kind of quality do you people from the Shit King family have..."

Xue Yizun was stunned by his words: "..."

He couldn't help but look up at the Cloud Weapon Ranking: Dong Yunyu was on the list, so who was this person in front of him?
Then it dawned on me that this bastard in front of me was the one who created the shit king!
His face immediately contorted!
To the onlookers, today was truly a spectacle.

The Cloud Weapon Ranking, which hadn't changed for many years, is now being renamed and rebranded faster than a revolving lantern.

"What's going on? Why do I feel like... those people who were knocked down from the Cloud Weapon Ranking are so weak? Is this still the Cloud Weapon Ranking?"

Some people are confused.

This question is not unique to one person; it is shared by many.

"Isn't everyone saying that the Cloud Weapon Ranking is awesome? This looks just average."

Upon hearing this discussion, some knowledgeable people immediately sneered.

"So-so? Heh, then you go up and try. You're a Saint Emperor Rank 8, you're stronger than that Three-Handed Quick-Blade Yu Yang, right? Why don't you go and try to find Yu Yang?"

"You ignorant fool."

"You actually have the nerve to say that the Cloud Weapon Ranking is weak? Don't you even look at who these people are who are climbing the rankings!"

"The Guardians and the Sovereign Sect haven't had any major battles in the past few years, and their experts have been lying low. Young masters like Feng Yun have been accumulating strength, and the corresponding experts on the Guardians' side have also remained inactive. That's all."

"For years, it's been a matter of individuals vying for top spots on the leaderboard. This also serves as a way to cultivate talent for both sides. Haven't you seen anyone being recruited?"

"In reality, Feng Yun and the others have already reached the level where they can compete for a spot on the Cloud Weapon Ranking. However, for Feng Yun, Xue Changqing, and the others, rushing up would only leave them hanging at the bottom, which is not an honor but rather a disgrace. Therefore, once they start climbing the rankings, they must be unstoppable, and only those ranked above nine hundred can barely be considered acceptable!"

"And this group of people are basically all of similar caliber."

"So once the climb to the top begins, it naturally presents an overwhelming momentum. It's not that the people on the list are too weak, but that the people climbing the list are too strong!"

Someone countered, "But there have been instances of large families trying to climb the rankings before, and some have even died as a result."

"Those are just isolated cases. Simply put, it's individual behavior. For example, if you want to climb the rankings, everyone tries to stop you and advise you, but you still go secretly and die there, that's called being reckless! You burn yourself to death. And in general, these extremely arrogant and unyielding geniuses are only advised a few times and then stopped, because everyone knows that such people don't live long. They're not worth anything."

"Those who don't listen to advice are always cannon fodder in these kinds of situations, no matter how talented they are."

"The people on the Cloud Weapon Ranking are weak? Aren't they all much stronger than geniuses of the same level? Besides, look at those who came down, apart from those killed by that crazy woman, didn't they all have a bright future right then and there?"

"That's hilarious, someone actually said the people on the Cloud Weapon Ranking are weak... Hahaha..."

"However, this concentrated rush to the rankings and the subsequent reshuffling means that those below the Saint Venerable level will likely have no chance of making it onto the Cloud Weapon Rankings in the future. The days when Saint Emperors could compete for rankings are now over."

"Yes. The value of the Cloud Weapon Ranking has once again been raised to a level that ordinary people can only dream of."

"Starting with this batch, we're truly at the top. After this, it should be the Saint Venerables guarding the gate. And these Saint Venerables are not ordinary Saint Venerables who can usually get past them! At least, Saint Venerables of the same level are just toys in their hands."

"More than that, it'll be difficult for even Saint Venerables to climb the rankings in the future; it'll probably take Saint Kings. But Saint Kings under a hundred years old... tsk tsk..."

"It's so cruel."

There was a lot of discussion, and the whole place was like a swarm of bees buzzing around. But it has to be said that as a group of people enthusiastically explained the facts, everyone understood.

The Cloud Weapon Ranking, it really is the Cloud Weapon Ranking.

The old man, who had tried to climb the leaderboard hundreds of times without success, watched as people plummeted from the top of the cloud leaderboard, his old face growing increasingly desperate.

If he still had the courage to charge forward time and time again before, now he can't even muster the courage.

It's already over 100, almost 200, which means that if I'm currently climbing the rankings, the last place is equivalent to the original 800th place.

A difference of two hundred places...

It's like being separated by countless worlds!

One of the sixty-seven applicants made the list, and the golden pen awarded them a star.

Then someone jumped out, and the whole audience was immediately invigorated.

"Guardian, Fang Che! Requesting a star!"

Night Dream, clad in flowing white robes, smiled from the sky: "Please welcome Lord Fang!"

The whole room burst into laughter.

This is how others would handle it, but when it comes to a couple, it suddenly becomes ridiculous.

Fang Che's black cloak billowed as he soared into the sky.

The starlight flickered dimly, and beneath the cloud-topped banner, it was as if another universe had been revealed.

In a flash, they were already next to the Golden Pen.

Spiritual energy nurtures boundless true scriptures.

A grand gesture is presented.

He grabbed the golden pen.

Energized by spiritual energy, the golden pen surged with light, rolling forward.

Everyone noticed one thing: when Fang Tu held the golden pen, the light inside the pen was exceptionally bright and surged forward exceptionally fast.

Countless people looked up at the same time.

I watched this scene closely.

Dongfang San San and Yan Nan also stared intently. Yan Nan said, "Dongfang, this Fang Tu is gradually gaining momentum. His cultivation is progressing much faster than others."

Dongfang San San said, "Over there, aren't Feng Yunyan and Bei Han Ye Mo coming soon?"

"It looks like the future will be dominated by these young people."

Yan Nan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Indeed a genius. I always paid attention to the wind, rain and snow before, but I didn't expect that Brother Dongfang's move of inspecting life and death was actually a blatant move made in secret."

"It's not exactly a hidden move. It's just that official duties have masked the true nature of a genius."

Dongfang San San said, "But these little guys are quite talented. They've been patrolling and fighting across the land, so they've naturally gained more experience than others. Sooner or later they'll be noticed. For example, you, Brother Yan, are quite interested in them now."

Yan Nan sighed, "I only really noticed these little guys after I entered the Three Realms, especially the big guy Mo Ganyun and Dong Yunyu. It's a little late."

"Just watch... hiss!"

Dongfang San San suddenly gasped, and at the same time, Yan Nan's eyes widened in shock. His mouth opened slightly, unable to hide his astonishment.

As soon as Fang Che grasped the golden pen, the pen shaft surged with light, and a beam of light shot out, illuminating the dark star.

However, at that moment, two colors suddenly burst forth.

One side was so dark it shone brightly, obscuring all the light from half the sky!
One side was a deep, dark purple, completely blocking out all the light from the other half of the sky!

The sky instantly became polarized.

Black and purple shimmered.

Perfectly opened!

As time passed, the black became darker and the purple became more purple. The black shone brightly, as if it wanted to suck people in and devour them, while the purple also turned black and shiny, becoming even more dazzling and mesmerizing.

Even the dazzling array of weapons in the Cloud Realm paled in comparison to this dark purple.

The black aura was blacker than the Wind God's, and the purple aura was purpler than the Wild Goose in the North!
At the same time, an extremely malevolent aura permeated the air, a soaring killing intent rose, and waves of holy light surged forth, with righteous energy awe-inspiring throughout the world!
Heaven and hell are concentrated in one person.

Boundless slaughter and boundless righteousness merge in one person.

As the gates of the underworld opened, the path to heaven also began to unfold.

The true two poles.

Everyone was horrified!
On the Cloud Ranking, Feng Yunyan, Bei Han, Yu Fengshen, and others all turned to look. Their eyes were filled with surprise, and their expressions were shocked.

This arrogant aura surged forth like a raging torrent.

The black light and purple aura, like a giant pair of pincers, surged forward, heading straight for the thousandth position on the Cloud Weapon Ranking.

Fang Tu is on the list!

And it instantly became 998.

Because there was an empty space in front of Feng Yun, he stepped in directly, and the Weiwo Zhengjiao master in front of Yufeng Shenjiang was beheaded with a single sword strike!
He kicked the corpse down.

This time, not only was Feng Yun furious, but Yan Nan's expression also turned completely ugly.

This Wind-Riding God is going a bit too far.

"Fang Che is destined for nobility, but this killing... is a bit too much."

Dongfang Sansan frowned and said, "How can it be so divided into black and purple? And each part is pure? Fang Che rid the people of a scourge, so even if he couldn't be all purple, he should at least have a mix of gold and purple. This murderous aura that slaughters humanity is almost no less than that of the Wind God! This..."

Yan Nan rolled her eyes and sneered, "Interrupting one's lifespan by hundreds of millions of years without suffering a backlash? This guy is a complete butcher! I'm quite puzzled as to where that intense purple color came from! Logically speaking, what merits has he accumulated?"

This time, it was Dongfang San San's turn to glare: "To open up a clear sky for all generations of humanity, how can that be considered a loss of merit?"

"But that was achieved through slaughter! Through countless lives! It was still the slaughter of countless lives!"

"Killing is also a good deed!"

"Killing is killing! Dongfang, you really know how to whitewash things!"

"Brother Yan, then tell me, where does the purple color come from? It's been certified by Heaven, what are you going to object to?"

Dongfang San San said with dissatisfaction, "This wasn't my appointment."

"maybe."

Yan Nan chuckled coldly: "But this guy's wickedness is even greater than that of the Wind God. Dongfang, I suggest you investigate; Fang Tu harbors deep resentment."

"You should worry about the Wind God instead."

Dongfang San San sneered, "She's almost wiped out everyone in your Weiwo Zhengjiao sect."

These words turned Yan Nan's face truly ashen. He let out a heavy snort and said, "That bitch is simply..."

"It's simply..." Yan Nan didn't finish her sentence.

Because he understood that even his own commands were useless against the Wind God's killing spree.

That's just how bloodthirsty she is!

No one can influence her.

So Yan Nan simply didn't give the order.

However, the Wind Goddess's slaughter aroused the indignation of everyone. Whether it was the Righteous Sect or the Guardians, they all hated this woman to the bone!

"The Divine Weasel Cult Leader..."

Following Fang Che, a young master from the Divine Weasel Cult immediately jumped out to sign up for the Star Pointing Ceremony.

But before he could finish his sentence, a flash of golden light appeared.

Zhao Ying'er flew through the air and kicked the expert from the Divine Weasel Sect back: "Get lost! Who gave you the right to do this?!"

A slender figure soared upwards, and a large hand of spiritual energy appeared directly: "Guardian! Zhao Ying'er! Here to challenge the rankings!"

Many people present were shocked: Guardians?
Dongfang Sansan also frowned and turned to look at Granny Huang.

Grandma Huang also frowned: "..."

Dongfang San San smiled and said, "Since it's a guardian, I'll have to make good use of it."

Grandma Huang: "..."

Grandma Huang was speechless.

In fact, when Zhao Ying'er said those words, Dongfang San San and Granny Huang understood what she meant.

She wanted to make amends for the people she had killed in the three realms.

And do something for the Guardians.

Dongfang San San felt somewhat conflicted. She herself didn't know how she felt about the Phoenix Clan, as she hadn't known about Granny Huang's background before.

It wasn't until Zhao Ying'er came back to life that suspicions arose, and when confronted directly, Granny Huang didn't deny it. Only then was it confirmed.

For so many years, it has been a relationship of mutual exploitation.

But to say that complete trust is impossible.

The incident where Zhao Ying'er committed murder because of Fang Che's death was also a major problem for Dongfang San San. They were all good children of the Guardians, and they died so unjustly—how could she not be angry?

But for Zhao Ying'er, the man she loved was wrongfully killed, so she shouldn't hate him.
It's understandable that a woman would be driven mad with grief after the death of her beloved man. Her relentless pursuit of those five families is also reasonable: no matter how extreme the circumstances, it was the combined efforts of the six major families that unjustly killed Fang Che. —This point is indisputable!

Even if there's a deep-seated grudge, you have to understand that someone's madness has a reason. Even if you were to kill her, you have to acknowledge this.

The biggest contradiction is that Fang Che can come back to life, but those killed by Zhao Ying'er can never come back to life.

This point is beyond redemption.

Dongfang San San felt the same way: how could she face the other members of the five major families if she simply erased this matter?
Although the Phoenix Clan only has these two members, this old woman's strength is undeniable. She may not help the guardians, but if she helps the enemy, it will be a catastrophe, and everyone will be in danger.

Dongfang San San had been pondering how to resolve this matter. A happy ending for everyone was simply impossible. The real question was how to reach a point acceptable to both sides…

This is something he must consider as a leader and as a politician.

Now that Zhao Ying'er has made her choice and concessions, it remains to be seen how Dongfang San San will handle it.

Dongfang Sansan frowned slightly, considering the matter carefully.

He didn't want to offend Granny Huang, who was considered one of the most powerful experts in the world, as that would be a disaster for the guardians. However, his protective instincts kicked in, and he also didn't want them to have an easy time.

This matter needs further consideration.

While leaders can certainly make sacrifices, sometimes being meticulous and calculating is also an essential quality for leaders.

air.

Ye Meng's eyes crinkled into a smile, and a point of white light appeared: "Sister Ying'er is so amazing!"

Zhao Ying'er chuckled: "Sister Ye Meng, I'm sorry, I scolded you."

"It doesn't matter."

Ye Meng said, "After we're done, come over and I'll give you a beating."

"Haha, let's do it that way then."

Zhao Ying'er was beaming with joy as she grabbed the golden pen in mid-air.

The light surges.

Immediately, the tip of the golden pen emitted light, illuminating the dark star.

Suddenly, another strange sight appeared.

Everyone was stunned.

Because, a rainbow of colors appeared in the sky, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet, stretching across the vast expanse.

It was indescribably beautiful, like a legendary phoenix suddenly appearing in mid-air.

"so beautiful!"

"This female guardian is quite extraordinary!"

"This is amazing! This is the first time I've ever seen a ranking event on the cloud, with seven colors appearing at the same time!"

"This wave is probably unprecedented and will never be repeated."

With Zhao Ying'er making the list, the battle on the cloud intensifies.

As the Wind Goddess fought her way up, she didn't kill them all, because she kept skipping levels according to the rules. Those she skipped were truly blessed by the Emperor.

The last hundred were quickly removed from the Cloud Weapon Ranking.

The new wave of people who went up is still pushing forward.

On one side of the Spirit Serpent Sect, a slender figure shrouded in a black robe floated up silently.

"The Spirit Serpent Cult, She Wushen!"

This 'She Wushen' was shrouded in a black robe, with only his eyes showing. He exuded an indescribable evil aura, and his eyes revealed a cruel and inhuman brutality and a desire to destroy everything.

He is different from the Wind God.

The Wind God's killings were all peaceful; they were killing for the sake of killing.

But this She Wushen is all about destruction and ruin, destroying all that is beautiful and destroying all that is peaceful!
When this person appeared, a violent aura erupted and spread. Not only Yan Nan and Dongfang San San, but also Xue Wu, Granny Huang, and Feng Du, who was hiding in the shadows, all looked up with solemn expressions.

Xue Wu frowned, and for the first time, a murderous glint appeared in her eyes.

Grandma Huang asked, "Who does this person remind you of from back then?"

"The Blood Demon and Dream Demon of the younger generation of the Righteous Sect, as well as those great demons who slaughtered the human world in the past, were utterly inhuman, without any bottom line, and without any scruples... In fact, this She Wushen's violent nature is even more extreme!"

Xue Wu looked up at the sky and said calmly, "This person cannot live!"

Granny Huang nodded, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "This person possesses divine power; did you sense it?"

Xue Wu was taken aback for a moment, then turned her head again.

Granny Huang's words weren't transmitted telepathically; Yan Nan and Dongfang San San also heard them and turned around in shock: "Divine will? Granny Huang, divine will or divine miracle?"

"All!"

Granny Huang said, "It is the evil will of the gods!"

Yan Nan and Dongfang San San's pupils contracted simultaneously.

Granny Huang is a descendant of the Phoenix Clan, and she possesses an innate ability to recognize such divine will. Her judgment is unlikely to be wrong.

The two leaders suddenly felt a heavy weight in their hearts.

The Serpent Cult? Divine Will? What's going on here?

If it were a serpent god descending to earth, surely it wouldn't cause such a small commotion? But where does this divine will come from?

Aerial combat is incredibly diverse and dazzling.

By midnight, more than two hundred pairs were fighting simultaneously!

After midnight, as the rules of the Cloud Weapon Ranking changed, the range from 301st to 500th lit up.

People in this area also began to take action.

Either challenge the future or face the challenges from those behind you.

The battle raged in the clouds, filling the entire sky.

Dawn.

Three hundred and fifty-nine people made the list. Finally, on the three hundred and sixtieth, Xue Yizun stood up.

Let's climb the charts!

A burst of golden-purple light exploded in the air.

Xue Yizun has finally made it onto the list.

But after he climbed to the top of the leaderboard, he didn't fight. He simply followed the people ahead of him.

He stopped when he reached number 999.

If there's another challenge, he'll put it up and try to be ranked a thousandth again.

Ten more positions were moved forward, and Xue Yizun placed ten more on top. No matter who was trying to climb the rankings, Xue Yizun would be defeated in one move.

Then the other person surpassed him and made the list.

Xue Yizun was stuck at the numbers 999 and 1000.

We will never be removed from the list.

If the ranks ahead remain unchanged, and I'm already in the top 1000, then no matter who tries to climb the leaderboard, it won't matter; I'll just kick them off!
But if things move forward again, and I move forward with them, then go ahead and charge! You can easily get up there with just one move.

This action made everyone realize what was going on.

Yan Nan's face darkened, and he stared at Dongfang San San, asking, "What is this Xue Yizun doing?"

Dongfang Sansan frowned and said, "Yes, what is Xue Yizun doing? I don't understand either. What do you think, Brother Yan?"

"Dongfang! What are you pretending to be confused about!"

Yan Nan was furious: "Isn't this blatantly an ambush? They're deliberately waiting to cause trouble!"

"What can I do?"

Dongfang San San shrugged: "Does your Eternal Night Emperor still want to be on the list? He's already got all the benefits of the Three Realms, and he's not even going to let go of the Cloud Weapon Ranking? How are the little guys here supposed to play then?"

"But you can't use such despicable methods, completely excluding people from the list?"

Yan Nan angrily said, "It's only fair that we have to be on the list and determine the winner."

"Who's going to talk to you about fairness?"

Dongfang San San smiled faintly: "Has the Eternal Night Emperor of the Three Realms ever talked about fairness with us Guardians? He eats and drinks, leaving not even a scrap for the Guardians, and destroys what he can't eat or take with him. Where is the fairness?"

Yan Nan said angrily, "Do you expect me to treat you like brothers?"

"So we won't be on the cloud leaderboard with him either."

The Eastern Three Paths.

"..."

Yan Nan snorted heavily: "Utterly shameless!"

"hehe."

Dongfang San San didn't care at all.

Yan Nan secretly rejoiced: Hmph, you don't know anything! I was just teasing you!

Dongfang San San replied in the same way: "Hmph, you don't know anything! I was just teasing you."
