Chapter 1378 The Chosen One? [Two-in-One]

On the high platform, Yan Nan and Dongfang San San both became interested.

Dongfang San San smiled and said, "The girl's poem has arrived. I'll have to take a look at it. If I'm not satisfied, I'll have to revise it."

Huh?
Yan Nan's eyes lit up immediately.

Xue Wu asked in surprise, "It can be modified?"

Dongfang San San nodded and said, "I can."

next to.

Yan Nan coughed, trying his best to remain composed, but unconsciously his tone carried a hint of flattery: "Brother Dongfang, cough cough, I still have ten catties of good tea over there."

Dongfang San San said, "Brother Yan, don't be anxious. There may not be a chance for me to make a move."

Yan Nan had already taken out a ring and pushed it across the table: "A friendship that lasts a lifetime."

"I quite like Xiaohan. As her grandfather, it's only right that I put some thought into her."

Dongfang Sansan calmly changed her tune and accepted the ring without any hint of irritation.

A smile appeared on his face; he was very satisfied with his trip today.

Grandma Huang rolled her eyes and muttered, "Shameless!"

I really don't want to see Dongfang San San's face. For so many years, Dongfang San San has always had this expression. Every time he wants something from me, I have to beg him to take it...

I've lost count of how many times.

Seeing Dongfang San San using the same methods to manipulate Yan Nan, Granny Huang instinctively felt her heart clench, as if she were being manipulated once again...

in the starry sky.

A few words slowly appeared.

Wild geese are cold in the north.

Jade Palace Immortal Sword.

A celestial maiden, the foremost fairy of the Jade Pool;
With lotus steps, she soars beyond the azure sky; with her sword, she cleaves through the nine heavens!
Xue Wu was taken aback: "Such praise! Isn't that too high a compliment?"

Dongfang San San sighed softly: "The person who wrote this clearly knew what Yan Bei Han had done... Not high, not high at all. Pure and immaculate, without blemish or evil; high above, the wild goose sings in the north, a celestial fairy... That's right. This woman should only exist in heaven. However, 'celestial fairy' and 'first immortal' both contain the same word, how about changing it to 'peerless woman'?"

"The First Immortal of Yaochi... refers to the Yaochi Manual. First Immortal, indeed." Sigh...

Dongfang San San's gaze was somewhat solemn.

Who is the First Immortal of Yaochi? The Heavenly Empress! The Queen Mother! The Empress!

He now suspects that the person who wrote this poem is Feng Yunqi. How could it be so fitting? If it is Feng Yunqi, where does that leave his own apprentice?
"Her lotus steps lead her beyond the azure sky... This girl truly seems to always stand atop the clouds, gazing into the mortal world from afar, uninvolved in earthly conflicts... That's acceptable..."

"The phrase 'The sword opens the nine heavens' is quite straightforward; it refers to the fertile land of the Great South, spanning eight thousand miles, which, through the girl's hands, has once again been transformed into a fertile homeland, a merit that will last for ten thousand generations..."

"pretty good."

Dongfang San San pondered deeply and said softly.

Yan Nan was extremely satisfied, stroking his beard as he said, "Dongfang, I think it's pretty good. What do you think we could revise it to make it sound even better?"

Dongfang Sansan frowned: "The overall situation doesn't need to be changed; it's just that the phrase 'lotus steps beyond the blue sky' is a bit too small; it gives people a feeling of being a demure young lady; it's not grand enough. It would be better to cultivate it as 'wandering beyond the clouds'; giving the girl a carefree and unrestrained life, hmm, wandering beyond the clouds, sword opening the nine heavens. That would be better."

He then said, "The Jade Palace Immortal Sword... that's acceptable, after all, the Cloud Weapon Ranking requires weapons. This restriction can't avoid swords... never mind."

Yan Nan was very satisfied and said, "Wandering... um, it's better than lotus steps. Lotus steps only have two feet, while wandering involves the whole body. Um, lotus steps are a bit unlucky."

Dongfang San San and the others stared at Yan Nan in astonishment.

This old bastard... no wonder he's a demon, his thought process has even gone so far as to dismember people... there's really no one like him.

Dongfang San San suddenly felt a sense of utter displeasure, like burning a zither and boiling a crane – a truly awful sight.

You're supposed to be the girl's grandfather!

With a dark face, he said, "Shut up!"

Yan Nan realized he had spoken inappropriately as soon as he finished speaking, and said with a fawning smile, "It's nice to wander around, free and unrestrained, without any worries, doing whatever you want. There's not a single thing to worry about."

Then, Dongfang San San wrote a note, waved his hand, and disappeared.

A shimmering purple aura flashed in the clouds.

The word "immortal" was changed to "peerless," and the words "lotus steps" were changed to "wandering," shining brightly in the air.

Unparalleled in heaven, the foremost immortal in the Jade Pool;
Wandering beyond the azure sky, the sword cleaves through the nine heavens!
The person who wrote the poem was also announced at the same time.

Guardian: Wind of All Things.

Edited by Dongfang Sansan.

The entire audience was stunned.

It's not a big deal that Feng Wanshi wrote a poem, but the small print below, "revised by Dongfang Sansan," is quite shocking.

It should be noted that Ninth Master only ever wrote for the top twenty authors in the Cloud Realm, and even among the top twenty, only a small portion were written by Dongfang San San, while the rest were written by Feng Yun Qi.

Now they're actually making a move for someone outside the top 500!
This is an incredible show of respect!
Yan Nan watched with a smile. What he wanted wasn't whether Dongfang San San had made the changes or not, but these six words. With these six words, Dongfang San San was essentially announcing to the world that she had Yan Bei Han under her protection.

Previously, these were all verbal promises, but now they are witnessed by heaven and earth, and known to the whole world.

Upon seeing the name Feng Wanshi, Dongfang San San couldn't help but turn around and glance behind her, quite surprised.

Yan Nan couldn't help but look up at Feng Wanshi.

Feng Wanshi coughed and said, "Miss Yan opened up the southern frontier, bringing blessings to countless generations; her benevolence extends to all corners of the land, her merits are immeasurable. I fear that no one below knows about this, thus overshadowing Miss Yan's achievements, so... I dare to..."

Yan Nan laughed heartily and said, "Very good, very good, Wan Shi, you did an excellent job."

He then handed over a spatial ring: "A pen tip, a pen tip, haha."

Feng Wanshi hesitated about whether to withdraw, but Dongfang Sansan smiled and said, "Withdraw when you should, that's the rule."

Feng Wanshi then stopped, saying, "Thank you, Vice Chief Master Yan."

Yan Beihan stared at the poem frozen in mid-air, her delicate eyebrows gently relaxing, feeling somewhat embarrassed. She felt the praise was a bit too much…

Sigh... what has this little witch done to deserve this...?

But upon thinking of the words "little witch," Yan Beihan's body went limp, and she bit her lip, muttering to herself, "Hmph... you lecherous rogue!"

Looking at this poem, Ye Meng wondered: The First Immortal of Yaochi? The First Immortal?
A purple aura lingered, starlight shone brightly, and with a flash of light, it entered the star position.

The female experts, including Xue Piao Piao, Feng Xue, and Bi Yunyan, all looked at the poem with some envy.

Because they themselves knew that the title of "Number One Immortal of Yaochi" had established their status; when it came to their turn, they could never surpass that number one.

The positions of Feng Yunxue, Changqing, and Yan Beihan have also been pretty much decided.

This will not change.

No one else will dare to attack these three people anymore. Firstly, they can't overpower them, and secondly, these are the three leaders of the younger generation, and they still need to be respected.

The only variable is whether Yan Beihan will still make the attempt.

If Yan Beihan rushes past Xue Changqing and then past Feng Yun, she will rise to the position of 501.

However, moving up two places wouldn't be of much use to Yan Beihan either. So it's highly unlikely he'll try again.

But the opening poem that follows is uncertain.

Because Yu Fengshen is currently in fourth place, this position is not stable.

The people on the side of the Righteous Sect can guarantee that they will not attack her, but the young experts of the Guardians hate Yu Fengshen to the bone. As long as they break through Feng Xue and Bi Yunyan's blockade, they will definitely attack Yu Fengshen!
Zhao Ying'er, the successor of the Divine Phoenix, is clearly very interested in the position of Wind God.

What follows is the real battle of dragons and tigers.

Yu Yang has already reached number 509, ahead of Bai Ye.

The eldest son of the Bai family.

The two fought to the point where neither had any strength left, and then stopped fighting at the same time.

Yu Yang stopped at 509, and there are still a lot of competitors below him, so it's estimated that he may not be able to keep this ranking.

Fang Che has now reached 536.

A strange person appeared in front of him.

Dressed in black and masked, flames raged.

Our true religion is the Fire Lord!
His name was Fire Venerable, but the moment he saw Fang Che rushing up, hatred suddenly erupted in his eyes.

The way he looked at Fang Che was as if he had encountered a mortal enemy who had killed his father, stolen his wife, and left him with no descendants!
He looked like he was about to explode!

Fang Che felt a chill run down his spine and tried to think it over. This person gave him a very familiar feeling.

Almost without thinking, Fang Che exclaimed in shock: "Fire First Flame?! Weren't you dead?!"

At that moment, Fang Che felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't be mistaken; this was Huo Churan.

Back then, during the friendly battle among the younger generation... Fang Che tried hard to recall, back then he... oh, he wasn't able to kill him! He only brought him to the brink of death, but with the methods of the Sovereign Cult, he was able to be saved.

But after that, Fang Che never saw Huo Churan again.

As his cultivation level gradually increased, he eventually forgot about this former rival.

But at this moment, this guy actually reappeared in front of me, changed his name and appeared on the Cloud Weapon Ranking!

This is simply...unbelievable.

Back during the friendly battle among the younger generation, Fang Che had a feeling: no matter how hard you beat this guy, he just won't die. It seemed like he was completely defeated, but he came back stronger than ever.

From that time on, Fang Che began to wonder: Could this guy really be the legendary chosen one?
Encountering this on the cloud leaderboard now makes this feeling even clearer!
The last time he played so badly, he didn't come out for a long time, and when he came out, he was on the cloud leaderboard?

Starting from Baiyun Martial Academy, they fought their way up to the Cloud Weapon Ranking and still haven't killed him!
He mysteriously escaped from a seemingly insurmountable predicament and survived countless kills unscathed!

This is blatantly the treatment of a chosen one, a child of destiny.

In an instant, the murderous intent in Fang Che's heart rose to an overwhelming level. He was absolutely certain that the person he had wanted to kill most in his entire life, up to this point, was none other than Huo Churan before him!

Because no matter how you try to kill them, they can't be killed. Such people must have incredible luck!
Moreover, their cultivation level keeps increasing; this person is absolutely cheating! They're definitely hogging the game!

This person betrayed the Guardians and harbors an extreme hatred and desire for revenge towards the Guardians, himself, and the entire world!

Letting him live will only lead to endless trouble!

opposite.

The masked "Fire Venerable" suddenly let out a fierce, mournful laugh: "Fang Che! Hahahaha! You didn't expect this, did you! Your old man isn't dead! I'm back!"

It was the beginning of a fire.

Fang Che took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with dark light: "It's alright. Today, for the sake of our old classmate relationship, I'll grant you a family reunion!" He had already made up his mind to kill this chosen one of destiny today, even if it meant revealing some of his trump cards!

He must not be allowed to see the sun tomorrow!
Huo Churan roared furiously, "Today, you will die! You must die!"

"That's what I think too!"

Fang Che slowly drew his sword.

Suddenly, a loud, shocking, and frenzied sword cry resounded through the air.

As the sword was slowly drawn from its sheath, the blade and scabbard rubbed together violently, producing a sound like the roar of a dragon and the howl of a tiger.

The Underworld King sensed its master's frenzied killing intent and was eager to emerge from its scabbard to fight and drink blood!

It also emitted a divine roar.

Clang clang clang! ...

The moment the sword was drawn, it gave the feeling of an overwhelming army marching into battle.

At the same time, Fang Che unleashed a murderous aura!
A dense, murderous aura erupted wildly from Fang Che's body.

On the Star Ranking, momentum is being built!
Condensing the Stars' Power!

Suddenly, the stars shone brightly, and the Milky Way seemed to fall from the sky.

Opposite him, Huo Churan roared to the sky, and flames burst forth from every inch of his body with his roar, filling the void. Suddenly, the air became hot, and the temperature rose rapidly, reaching the temperature of melting gold and iron in the blink of an eye!
The heat spread outwards without restraint, just like sunlight!
A murderous intent and hatred exploded forth!

He held a long sword engulfed in flames, pointing it directly at Fang Che.

An unyielding, do-or-die spirit expanded wildly.

The two sides were on the verge of exchanging blows, clearly indicating that this was a life-or-death battle!
They must both kill each other!
Everyone could see it from both the top and bottom of the cloud rankings.

Yan Nan frowned, her head aching.

Has Malgobi messed up again?
Huo Churan was originally supposed to make his move after Fang Che, and then follow behind to increase his combat power as the Cloud Ranking increased. But why did this guy rush to the front?

I didn't even notice when I went up there!

"Damn it! How did those two mortal enemies end up together again!"

Yan Nan cursed inwardly.

But he knew that this was absolutely not Fang Che's fault, because Fang Che had no idea whatsoever. It was entirely Huo Churan's own doing. Huo Churan was practically driven mad by her desire to kill Fang Che.

"The successor of the Flame Demon? The Flame Demon's Heavenly Fire Glazed Body? No... this isn't at that level yet, just the initial stage of the Glazed Flame Body?!"

Dongfang San San snorted and said, "Looks like the Flame Demon is finished?"

Yan Nan snorted.

Since the last time the Flame Demon caused a volcanic eruption in the Guardian's territory, it was hunted down by Xue Fuxiao, and the Heart-Slaying Blade lost its source.

Xue Fuxiao's strike was extremely insidious, severing both emotion and origin, unlike the ordinary destruction of one's essence. Even with the methods of the Sovereign Sect, the Flame Demon could not be restored.

Unless Xue Fuxiao personally intervenes to withdraw the Heart-Slaying Blade Qi, or someone of the Grand Master's level risks damage to his cultivation to extinguish the Blade Intent for the Flame Demon.

But neither of these possibilities is possible.

So this basically crippled the Balrog.

It was precisely for this reason that the Flame Demon devoted himself to nurturing the First Flame after that.

They even went so far as to infuse their own cultivation into Huo Churan, sacrificing 95% of their own power to give him half of it, in an extremely wasteful way, in order to boost Huo Churan's combat strength.

I originally intended to let him quietly infiltrate the Cloud Weapon Ranking and develop stealthily, but unexpectedly, he made a stunning entrance.

And who is Dongfang San San? As soon as he saw Huo Chu Ran's state, he knew that Yan Mo was finished: because with Yan Mo's demonic mentality, he would never have put so much effort into training his disciple if he hadn't truly lost hope!

Yan Nan was inwardly cursing!

The fire was initially lit... Just like the Wind God, after reaching a certain point, it was a backup plan devised by Yan Nan.

But Yan Nan can't express how she feels right now.

Judging from this situation, either Huo Churan or Ye Mo is doomed to die!
At this moment, Yan Nan wanted to curse!
Isn't that outrageous?
The nascent crystal flame body was just beginning to take shape, and the crystal heart was almost complete, which is why it needed the divine power of the Cloud Weapon Ranking to accelerate its formation.

Once the Crystal Heart is formed, it will become the prototype of another Flame Demon.

Moreover, Huo Churan's aptitude is even better than Yanmo's! He also received the empowerment and transmission from Yanmo, so he will definitely become a great master in the future!
Before coming here to compete for the rankings, Yan Nan had Bai Zhan Dao go to Yan Mo and clearly conveyed his meaning: you can be on the rankings, stay at the back, and quietly receive the benefits of the Cloud Weapon Ranking! You are absolutely not allowed to rush to the front.

Now is not the time to seek revenge on Fang Che, the guardian!
As the deputy leader, this kind of prompting to ignite the initial spark is already sufficient.

As a result, when Huo Churan arrived here and saw Fang Chemo Ganyun and the others on the other side, he exploded on the spot.

He instantly lost his mind and followed the young masters, making it onto the list in just a few dozen places.

Fang Che hadn't made a move yet at that time.

He went up.

He knew that Fang Tu would definitely charge forward, and he would wait for him here! He would kill Fang Tu then!

While serving the sect, he also sought revenge for his entire family!
It must be said that Huo Churan's plan was quite good. In the eyes of the righteous sect, killing Fang Tu would be a great achievement.

but……

In short, Yan Nan's heart and liver are completely swollen!

How come the Sovereign Church is full of such scum? No matter how flawless the plan, problems will always arise!
Yan Nan was completely helpless and speechless about this situation... Now both of his hands were numb!
If the Firestarter is disobedient and dies, so be it, but the Night Demon can't be harmed!
This is really... damn it!
But he couldn't show it in front of Dongfang San San.

Looking at the two facing off on the Cloud Ranking, Dongfang San San's expression was grave: "This battle is a battle of life and death."

Yan Nan said calmly, "Aren't there enough life-or-death battles on the Cloud Ranking?"

Dongfang San San was clearly very worried about Fang Che. She looked up at the two people facing off and ignored Yan Nan.

On the cloud leaderboard.

As the fire ignited, a loud shout rang out, and a long sword shot into the air. Suddenly, a burst of flames exploded in mid-air, scattering into countless stars.

"Fang Che! Prepare to die!"

The roar that ignited the fire was like a thunderous roar.

At the same time, a malevolent aura that filled the heavens and earth erupted forth, and the yin energy caused the flames on the newly ignited fire to drift backward.

The longsword gleamed, carrying the power of stars, and slammed fiercely against the Fire Startling Sword.

There was a bang.

Huo Chu's body trembled violently as he was thrown back ten feet by the force of the impact, while Fang Che was also pushed back ten feet!

His murderous intent burned even brighter!
He truly is the chosen one! — Fang Che was certain of this!
How much has he gone through to reach his current level? And how much is the initial spark of fire? He hasn't even entered the Three Realms, nor even the Heavenly Centipede Valley...

The result was that they were evenly matched! Moreover, their spiritual energy level was slightly higher than mine!
How exactly did the Flame Demon train him?

Who else could be such a chosen one if not the chosen one?! Therefore, this child must not be allowed to live!

As they retreated, they accelerated forward again, their swords flashing, the blades rising like waves and the longswords falling like meteors from the sky!

In the blink of an eye, they had already collided thousands of times!
Both of them aimed their attacks fiercely at each other's vital points.

In comparison between the two, Fang Che holds an absolute advantage in martial arts skills, combat prowess, and experience; Huo Churan clearly has less combat experience than Fang Che.

And it's far from that.

However, in terms of cultivation level, Huo Churan has the advantage and is stronger!
This made Fang Che even more wary! His murderous intent intensified!
Generally, those who have little experience but whose cultivation surpasses that of geniuses are either empowered by a highly skilled senior who sacrificed themselves for them, or they have simply found some unimaginable rare treasures through sheer luck.

But regardless of the type, they are all considered to be chosen by fate, the people of destiny—those who understand this know it!

The luck of such a person is unimaginable.

That's what an unkillable cockroach is like.

No matter how much he is attacked or killed, he will only grow stronger step by step.

"Slaughtering Sky Blade!"

A violent aura suddenly rose.

Fang Che unleashed a modified version of the Heaven-Hating Blade.

In a sense, this is a fusion of the Heaven-Supporting Blade, the Heaven-Hating Blade, and the Heart-Severing Blade, all under the perfect form. It's also Fang Che's trump card in his current role with the Guardians!

During this period, thanks to the help of the Nirvana Ribbon, he had a huge increase in the time he could spend researching his fusion techniques.

It has gradually begun to form its own system!
However, it only began to form its own system and did not become fully developed.

As the Heaven-Slaying Blade was unleashed, the entire space transformed into a sea of ​​blade light. With his skillful technique, exquisite swordsmanship, and abundant combat experience, Fang Che firmly suppressed Huo Churan, putting him at a disadvantage.

Although the initial fire was powerful, it was not overwhelming. Under Fang Che's ferocious attack, it was suppressed to a 1-9 situation!

Fang Che controlled 90% of the offensive, while Huo Churan only had 10%, meaning he was almost completely on the defensive.

Blood-red light shot out in a whooshing motion, filling the starry sky.

That was the fire that was constantly being injured as it first started to burn. Although they were only superficial wounds, there were already hundreds of scars on its body!

Fang Che inwardly cried out in regret.

If he were truly Night Demon, a single Blood Smoke Hand would have dried up the Fire Start, preventing him from continuing his rampage.

But now he is Fang Che's identity!

Bloodsmoke Hand cannot be used.

Huo Churan burst into flames, each flame a sword beam, desperately resisting Fang Che's attack.

Despite his numerous injuries, his eyes were filled with cruelty.

My cultivation level is stronger than Fang Che's. Although I only absorbed half of my master's empowerment technique, half of the empowerment from a ninth-grade saint is enough to make me stronger than Fang Che!
Much stronger!
As long as the fight continues, Fang Che will be the first to give out!

As soon as the fire ignited, he moved his throat and two pills fell into his stomach at the same time, transforming into pure spiritual energy to replenish himself.

The flames blazed fiercely once more!

With a hissing sword aura, he instantly merged with his sword and charged wildly at Fang Che!
I'm going to crush you with my cultivation level!

But just as they charged forward, a huge sun suddenly rose up before their eyes!

The Great Sun Sword!

Fang Che understood Rui Qianshan's move and attacked at the same time without hesitation.

The sword light was dazzling, the sun was blazing in the sky, and the light shone in countless rays!

This left the writers who were waiting to write poems to give Fang Tu a nickname completely dumbfounded: everything they had written before was now useless!
Damn it, Fang Tu actually had a trump card up his sleeve!
