Lord of the night.

Chapter 1371 The Most Urgent Task [Part Two]

Xue Yizun's behavior was clearly extreme.

Not only Yan Nan understood, but everyone below, including the members of the Divine Weasel Cult and the Spirit Serpent Cult, understood: Xue Yizun was just waiting for the Night Demon!

I, Xue Yizun, am stuck right here!

Anyway, that's how it is, you Night Demons can go for it or not.

Charge will mean facing Xue Yizun.

The current Night Demon is no match for Xue Yizun. Not only will he fail to advance in the ranking battle, but he may also die at Xue Yizun's hands.

This is highly likely!
If we don't push, we won't have a chance to climb the rankings in a short time, and Night Demon won't be able to defeat Snow One in a short period of time either.

Once the Night Demon has made rapid progress and is able to defeat Xue Yizun, Xue Yizun will no longer accept challenges.

It's not that I don't accept challenges, it's just that I'm very busy right now.

I'll accept your challenge when I'm less busy.

Then Xue Yizun will have another explanation: It's not that I'm making things difficult for you, but that you don't meet the rules.

As long as Xue Yizun doesn't accept the challenge, you Night Demon will never be able to get on the Cloud Ranking!
It doesn't require a lot of time to pass. In a few decades, when Night Demon is over a hundred years old, he will no longer be able to enter the Cloud Weapon Ranking: He's too old!

It's not that I, Xue Yizun, am making things difficult for you, but rather that you've broken the rules.

At that time, Xue Yizun can calmly start climbing the rankings, and how high he gets will be entirely up to him.

As for Night Demon, he would have no hope for the rest of his life.

The others from the Sovereign Cult who hadn't yet made the list all turned to look at Night Demon's position.

A burly Night Demon with a bushy beard stood at the edge, hands behind his back, looking up at the Cloud Weapon Ranking with a complex expression.

The night wind howled, blowing his robes.

It conveys a sense of desolation.

Countless people suddenly felt a strange sensation.

I even feel sorry for Night Demon now.

He possessed extraordinary abilities and could have easily broken into the top 700 of the Cloud Weapon Ranking, but he didn't even have the chance to make it in!
Most of the people who have made it onto the list are not as strong as Night Demon.

But they all rushed forward.

Only Night Demon couldn't get through!

He couldn't charge ahead, because if he did, he would face repeated challenges from Fang Tuxue, Changqing Yuyang, Xue Yizun, and others. These people wouldn't even give him a chance to admit defeat before killing him!

"Who would have thought that the Night Demon, who is so powerful throughout the world, would be targeted like this today!"

"How pitiful, hahaha..."

Night Demon's current situation is pitiful. However, not many people truly pity him.

Instead, a wave of schadenfreude arose.

"Serves you right! You think you're so capable? You think you're so arrogant? You think you're the Emperor of Eternal Night? Go climb the rankings! What are you standing there for!?"

"Finally, someone's keeping this guy in check. Seeing Night Demon being treated so unfairly makes me so happy I could sing..."

"This is so unfair! So unfair! But it's so awesome, so awesome, hahaha..."

"For the first time, I really feel like the Guardians know how to get things done! Hahaha..."

On the side of the True Cult, countless whispers and gloating glances kept drifting toward the Night Demon, who was standing there dumbfounded.

Everyone was very happy.

Feng Du stood there, adopting this 'desolate' posture, but his divine sense absorbed all the movements around him.

My immediate thought was: What the hell is going on with the Weiwo Zhengjiao sect that Yan Wu is managing now?
What's the point of living if these guys are just chattering and gloating here?
They don't even have the qualifications to compete for a spot on the leaderboard, yet they still come here to mock someone who could easily be ranked in the top 700?
Who gave them the courage?

When did the Sovereign Church start adopting this kind of behavior? It's simply outrageous!

A cleanup is necessary! Yanwu must be rectified!
Feng Du felt he couldn't stand it anymore. Such a genius was being suppressed like this in the Sovereign Sect!
This is simply unbelievable.

He glanced around with displeasure, then grabbed one of them: "You register these names for me, the ones who are currently gloating!"

The person he captured was a top expert from the Bi family who was ranked lower and preparing to climb the rankings, but it wasn't his turn yet.

Moreover, once everything else is finished, it's basically even less likely that it will be your turn.

I'm feeling down.

He was then arrested.

Unable to contain her annoyance, she retorted, "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

Snapped!
Feng Du slapped him to the ground, then stomped on him and ground him down. The flesh on one side of his cheek fell off, revealing the pale white bone.

"What's wrong with teaching you how to do things?!"

"Register them for me! If you miss a single one or make a mistake, you'll be sorry!"

The Bi family expert groaned and fell to the ground. Just as he was about to curse, he suddenly felt intense pain all over his body.

This pain seemed to emanate from the depths of the soul.

But the sensitivity of all the nerves in my body was instantly increased tenfold!
The pain sensation was amplified tenfold.

Moreover, he was extremely lucid and could not faint no matter what.

But he couldn't make a sound.

With a whoosh, my soul was pulled out of my body and then shoved back in with another whoosh.

This was repeated seven times.

Feng Du released him and asked in a gentle tone, "What kind of work can you do?"

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes!"

This expert from the Bi family was so frightened that his soul almost left his body.

The Night Demon's ferocity is simply... How could he manage to tear my soul out of my body? My soul must have left my body just now, right? I don't have much experience with this...

But I never want to experience that feeling again in my life.

So he quickly took out paper and pen and started taking notes.

"Hurry up!"

He was extremely dissatisfied with the separatist regime.

Given his temperament, this kind of thing should be done by Bi Changhong, especially when Bi Changhong splits his soul and forces him to do the work, that would be the most satisfying thing.

Unfortunately, Night Demon's current identity prevents him from doing so.

"From Male Gobi!"

Feng Du cursed.

Since I arrived here today, not a single moment has gone smoothly for me. I've been completely screwed over by Sun Wutian!
Anyone want to play a game of chess with me...?

He stood there with a sullen face and his hands behind his back for a while. Finally, after being reminded by Sun Wutian, he looked up at the Cloud Weapon Ranking with a 'reluctant' look. Xue Yizun was still blocking the door.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Night Demon lowered his head slightly.

A black cloak fluttered in the wind.

He took a step back.

It seemed to have completely disappeared into the darkness, vanishing from sight.

This glance upwards and step back made everyone clearly feel the resentment and desolation.

This is just too... unfair!
Fang Che rushed up the list and encountered those who had been knocked down. He then engaged in battle with them. It has to be said that those who had been knocked down and were still alive had no will to fight: the least one had been repeatedly beaten dozens of times!
This journey was like being constantly knocked down while doing somersaults!
The group that rushed up were all incredibly vicious.

Everyone was thinking, "Damn it!"

We've had a peaceful and stable life for many years. It would be fine if you came every few days, even if it was just sporadic visits. That way, we can still have some enthusiasm for the battle.

Now look what's happened, hundreds of people have charged up like wolves and tigers.

Unfortunately, we can't beat any of them.

This is absolutely infuriating.

Just as it was brought to the brink of death by the previous one, a flash of starlight in the clouds restored it instantly, only to be brought to the brink of death by the next one; a flash of starlight restored it again, and then it was nearly killed by the third one.

Is this a ranking contest or a form of torture?

We just want to get out of there as quickly as possible, a thousand people, so we can be free. Why is it so difficult?
But then he comforted himself: Isn't this better than encountering the Wind God? At least I've saved my life.

But those behind them are not to be trifled with either.

Those who are defeated by the Guardians will have to face countless geniuses from the nine major families, including Bai Ye, Bi Ren, and Xiong Jiang; while those who are defeated by the Sovereign Cult will also have to face the Guardians...

For example, the people blocking Fang Che's way right now are from the Guardians' side.

"Fang Tu! Give me a way out!"

This expert was quite straightforward: "I'll let you go after one move! I'll spare your life, how about it?"

Fang Che angrily retorted, "Why are you calling me Fang Tu?"

He cleaved the blade thirty feet away, but at least he survived.

Continuing, the next two are from the Solipsistic Church.

"Fang Tu, give me a way out!"

This self-proclaimed righteous sect leader followed suit: "How about I spare your life?"

Fang Che unleashed his full power in a single strike, unleashing a deafening burst of sword energy: "I can't keep him alive!"

He killed two people in succession, advancing eight hundred men amidst a spray of blood.

Behind him, Zhao Ying'er and the others also made it in three places, rising with the tide.

The weaponry array in the cloud gleamed.

Every time someone moves, the screen flashes briefly, making it look like a nightclub from below, with the starry ceiling constantly flickering and blurring your vision.

If you had to constantly remember the location of the Cloud Weapon Ranking, your brain would probably be exploding by now.

Feng Yun encountered strong resistance.

He rushed to the dividing line between the Holy Ruler and the Holy Venerable.

Feng Yun is currently ranked 501st.

If you keep charging forward, you'll reach the Holy Monarch's area.

Originally, the Holy Ruler's area was in the eight hundredth place.

In other words... although the Cloud Weapon Ranking is said to be open to Saint Emperors, there are actually not many spots left for Saint Emperors.

There are at most twenty spots available.

The number of spots reserved for Saint Venerables is also limited, only a little over a hundred, and only genius Saint Venerables who can fight Saint Lords of higher levels can stay.

However, the Cloud Weapon Ranking was already short of personnel, and this major adjustment caused everyone's position to advance by more than two hundred places—a position that didn't even require fighting.

Especially for those ranked after 100, moving up in the rankings is incredibly satisfying.

And so, those behind are constantly being pushed down, while those in front keep rising up.

This caused the threshold for becoming a Holy Ruler to advance to five hundred!
This is already a miracle.

The Saint Venerable Ninth Rank peak expert that Feng Yun just defeated was almost the result of Feng Yun's full power.

It should be noted that Feng Yun is now at the peak of the seventh rank of Saint Venerable.

With his talent, he could fight ordinary Saint Kings who were above his level, and even fight against third-rank Saint Kings! However, when facing this first-rank Saint King with five hundred gatekeepers, he still felt he couldn't defeat him. This was a guardian.

Although Feng Yun could not defeat him, he also could not kill Feng Yun.

"Young Master Yun truly lives up to his reputation."

"You're amazing, senior."

Feng Yun sighed.

After a crazy surge of five hundred places, now it's my turn to guard the gate.

Next, I estimate that I will be facing a barrage of attacks from Xue Changqing and his men... If a few of them are knocked down, it will be a huge embarrassment.

Fengyun stopped.

The people above are already lined up closely. Although some people are trying to move forward, unless someone dies, those below have virtually no chance of advancing.

The fighting below continued. However, as Feng Yun stopped, the fighting gradually subsided.

When no one goes up or down from the top 1,000, the real battle for the bottom 500 will begin!
Xue Yizun continued to fluctuate between the numbers 999 and 1000.

As long as there's an empty space above and someone rushing in below, as long as it's not a Night Demon, he'll let them pass.

"I lost."

"I lost again."

Xue Yizun has said these words countless times tonight.

But everyone who rushed past him, regardless of which faction they belonged to, had to respectfully thank him, saying, "Thank you, Young Master Xue!"

it is necessary!
Because his true strength was no match for Xue Yizun.

In the future, Xue Yizun will also be aiming for the top spot. Once Ye Mo reaches the age limit, Xue Yizun will be the one to climb the rankings. Those who are impolite now will all die under Xue Yizun's sword!
Who would want to offend this cunning person who would rather not climb the leaderboard and keep losing than miss an opportunity to ambush Night Demon?
Wouldn't that just make things difficult for yourself?
Boom boom boom...

Without any warning, a fight suddenly broke out below.

The scene suddenly descended into chaos.

Everyone was stunned: What's next?
Why is it that when the battle is happening on the cloud-based weapon ranking list, it suddenly starts happening below as well?

But upon closer inspection, it became clear.

As you can see clearly, there are at most less than ten spots left.

Once those positions are filled, no one can get to the top.

By then, Xue Yizun will no longer hold back: if he did, he would fall down himself.

So, whoever charges at Night Demon is the Night Demon!
Of the remaining people, who is confident they can defeat Xue Yizun? Is this a joke?
Let alone those under a hundred years old, there are very few who can rival Xue Yizun even under a thousand years old!
This is the last chance to make the list.

The last young master of the Golden Dragon Hall leaped into the air, ready to strike the star.

Before his name could even be announced, one person each from the Divine Weasel Sect, the Spirit Serpent Sect, the Sole Righteous Sect, the Guardians, and the Heavenly Palace flew out. In the midst of the chaos, the five of them displayed a flawless teamwork, and with a boom, the young expert from the Divine Dragon Palace was sent flying back by a few punches and kicks.

Blood spurted out wildly.

Then the five men engaged in combat in mid-air, shouting, "I'll go!"

"I'll come first!"

At this moment, someone secretly leaped up to try and claim a spot to place a star, but more people immediately came out to stop them.

"That son of a bitch actually tried to get a bargain!"

Everyone attacked together.

Suddenly, a chaotic battle broke out below, and in this situation, no one could gain an advantage.

In the end, four people from the nine major families of the Righteous Sect stood out and made it onto the list, and four guardians also made it onto the list.

One of the Weasel Cult members went up.

The Spirit Serpent Cult member, seeing that only one spot remained, charged forward recklessly, only to be met with even more reckless resistance. Dozens of people attacked together, killing the man on the spot.

As a result, the starlight dimmed, and each person was marked with a spot, causing dozens of people to lose their eligibility to compete for the rankings.

During the Cloud Weapon Ranking competition, life-or-death battles are not allowed at the bottom of the rankings.

If life and death were possible at the bottom of the rankings, countless underhanded tactics would emerge, making it impossible for many experts to even get close to the top. This must be avoided.

It's not a big deal if someone dies, but it's a big deal if so many people lose their chance to compete for a spot on the leaderboard.

While everyone hesitated for a moment, someone from the guardians rushed forward like lightning, grasped the golden pen with a large hand full of spiritual energy, and pointed to a star.

The True Sect isn't without a chance, but everyone's thinking: if I reach 999th place first, Xue Yizun will be the first to target me when he climbs the rankings. Can I handle that?

Therefore, the Guardians gained an advantage and successfully occupied 999 spots.

When the final result was decided.

The ranking and star-collecting phase of the Cloud Weapon Ranking has officially ended.

The golden pen disappeared into the air.

In other words, from this moment on, even if there are more deaths and casualties on the leaderboard, the path to the outside world has ended.

From now on, they can only fight on the Cloud Ranking.

When someone dies, it simply creates another vacancy.

For example, if 36 challenges 35 and wins, then 35 is eliminated. Adjustments will only occur between positions 35 and 99. At 98, 99 is left vacant, and the goalkeeper for 100 remains 100.

Continue in the same manner.

As it stands, Xue Yizun is currently ranked 1,000th. But even if over 700 people die on the Cloud Weapon Ranking, Xue Yizun will remain firmly in 1,000th place.

One year later, the Cloud Weapon Ranking Individual Challenge will be launched, which means that martial artists outside the age range will challenge Xue Yizun. Even if they succeed in the challenge and are listed, only their ranking within the Cloud Weapon Ranking will change. Successful challengers will enjoy the benefits of the Cloud Weapon Ranking, but it will not be announced to the world.

As for the rankings, we'll have to wait until the next official adjustment of the Cloud Weapon Rankings.

The rankings will be readjusted from start to finish.

It was announced to the world at the same time.

During this adjustment period, Feng Yunqi had the final say. However... Feng Yunqi's laziness was almost legendary.

Moreover, too frequent updates and replacements would also affect the prestige of the Cloud Weapon Catalog.

So it's basically a long way off.

Of course, Xue Yizun is currently guarding the gate, and he doesn't plan to move for the next hundred years.

This is equivalent to having someone with the strength of the top 500 in the Cloud Weapon Ranking guarding the gate of the 1,000.

Who can rush up there?

Basically, it's highly unlikely that any new people will make the list within the next hundred years.

Currently, most of those on the list are experts who came from the Three Realms... Therefore, even if Xue Yizun leaves the gatekeeper position of the 1,000th person a hundred years from now and someone else takes over, it will be difficult for qualified people outside to break through!

Therefore, in a sense, this year's Cloud Weapon Ranking is basically the last one. This statement is entirely valid!
The starlight shone brightly, and then suddenly froze in time.

The ongoing battle at the Weapon Ranking was forcibly separated.

Rules emerge.

Enveloped in holy light, Ye Meng waved a green branch in his hand and said, "Tonight's ranking battle is over. All personnel are now in place. Tomorrow night, the battle for rankings will begin."

"Including the challenge of competing for a place outside the top 100."

"After the rankings outside the top 100 are finalized, the final challenge will be for the top 100, including the top ten!"

That last sentence ignited everyone's passion!

As expected, there is a challenge to reach the top ten.

Xiang Beidou looked up at Yan Nan.

Yan Nan nodded.

Xiang Beidou smiled faintly.

The morning star twinkles.

A faint light rose in the east, and purple clouds burst forth from the horizon.

The weapon ranking list in the cloud slowly disappeared.

The earth saw the light again.

Fang Che sat on a rock, frowning in thought.

He joined the team neither too early nor too late, and is currently ranked 817th.

They ranked quite high, but in reality, they didn't even engage in twenty battles—they were basically all killed by the Wind God.

"Pity!"

Fang Che felt somewhat regretful.

He was somewhat puzzled: when he was with the True Self Sect, Chen Yun's incident happened, and the Wind God came into view. He remembered inquiring about the Wind God's age at the time, and was told that he was over a hundred years old.

If that's the case, then the Wind God should be too old, but he can still climb the rankings now.

How is this going?

Was the intelligence inaccurate back then?
Fang Che sighed, realizing he had probably been deceived by certain habits.

For example, some people in their nineties can basically be said to be around one hundred years old.

A person who is ninety-eight or ninety-nine years old is qualified to say: "I am over a hundred years old."

And since I'm a very meticulous person, when I heard someone was around a hundred years old, I naturally assumed they were over a hundred...

"Why can't we just let her be over the age limit? It's such a hassle."

Fang Che's statement about the trouble was reasonable. Through a day of fighting, he had already realized that each time he won and moved up one rank, he would have some kind of epiphany.

It was like a sudden enlightenment.

Those martial arts problems that had been lingering in his mind for a long time suddenly became clear and understood at this moment.

This progress is enormous, and each time you advance one rank, there is a slight improvement in your cultivation level and the speed of your training: in other words, the Wind God will improve very quickly and by a lot!
Isn't this the biggest problem?

The people who have fought the most are Feng Yun, Xue Changqing, Yan Beihan, Feng Xue, Bi Yunyan, Xue Piaopiao, Yu Yang, Feng Tian, ​​Feng Di, Xue Huanhuan, Feng Xing, Bai Ye, Bi Ren, Xiong Jiang, Mo Ganyun, Dong Yunyu, Xue Huanhuan, Yu Cheng, Wu Xin and the other top twenty, plus Yu Fengshen at number twenty-one.

Currently, the biggest beneficiaries are these twenty-one people.

But the most serious thing is about to happen: Mo Ganyun and the others are about to face the challenge of the Wind God's sprint!
The Wind-Riding God can kill rain from the sky.

However, Mo Ganyun and his men are no match for Yu Tianxia now.

Therefore, they would be in mortal danger when facing the Wind God!

Similarly, the young masters of the Sovereign Cult are now facing the same problem, because even they themselves are not sure whether the Wind God will kill them!
The only one I'm confident about is the Imperial City.

As for the others, although they were all of noble birth and imperial lineage, in the eyes of the Wind God, they were probably treated the same as all ordinary people.

It must be said that the Wind God achieved absolute fairness: no one is immune to being killed!

So, after the night ended, Fang Che immediately sent a telepathic message to Xue Changqing to discuss the matter.

This is a big deal.

Now that the first goal has been achieved, Night Demon is absolutely no longer able to make the list!

This, to some extent, cut off one of the Night Demon's paths to rapid advancement.

The second goal we need to consider now is also extremely simple: how to ensure that everyone survives on the Cloud Weapon Ranking.

If we survive, it's fine for others, but the biggest concern right now is the Wind God!
