Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 142 Conflict
Keep up with their pace.

They were even sneaking around, deliberately trying to conceal their presence.

The malice he carries is now crystal clear!
Ji Fuyou's thoughts drifted.

A decision was made in an instant.

He didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble and offend Zhou Wangchuan, but the problem now was...

The other party has already set their sights on them!

Purpose……

Trying to reap the benefits?
Or other reasons?

It doesn't matter anymore!
Just as this person crept up to a spot not far from the statue to which Ji Fuyou belonged, Ji Fuyou made a move.

He was already in a half-squatting position when his strength exploded, and his blood and qi circulated like in a furnace, providing a continuous flow of energy to his entire body.

At the same time, he thrust out his longsword, unleashing a surge of sword intent!
The mastery of the True Sword Intent seemed to tear the soul apart, instantly causing uncontrollable terror to surge across the face of the man who realized he had been exposed.

"stop……"

He opened his mouth to shout.

But Ji Fuyou's sword came too fast.

He hid to the side using the Illusionary Shadowless Technique, then suddenly attacked, unleashing a surge of sword intent.

How could a martial artist with a physique estimated to be only 23 or 24 years old withstand such a lightning-fast sword strike?
He could barely manage to draw his sword in front of him...

Before he could block the cold steel sword's attack trajectory, the icy blade had already pierced his throat, silencing his subsequent screams.

"laugh!"

Draw your sword!
Just before the action was completed, Ji Fuyou struck him hard in the heart with his left hand.

The blood that was about to gush out from the wound was frozen solid.

It was as if all the blood had lost its ability to be transported and circulated, freezing inside the body.

Then, Ji Fuyou grabbed the man's body, took a step, and instantly entered the prayer room not far away.

At this moment, Yang Kaitai also heard the commotion outside and quickly came to greet them.

"team leader……"

When he saw the corpse the man was carrying, his pupils constricted sharply: "Zhou Wangchuan's man!?"

"You followed us stealthily, and even concealed your presence. You didn't even sense it with your spiritual sense, did you? Your sneaky behavior speaks volumes about your purpose."

Ji Fuyou gave a brief reply.

Yang Kaitai's eyes darkened: "Zhou Wangchuan, how dare you! Do you really think we're easy to bully?"

He glanced at the monsters and human corpses in the prayer room...

They encountered Zhou Wangchuan and his group on the one or two-kilometer stretch of road.

Nine out of ten...

The nine hunters, led by Yan Song, died at their hands.

Ji Fuyou threw the corpse inside: "Get ready!"

"Zhou Wangchuan and his people..."

"If they dare to mess with us, they'd better be prepared to be annihilated by us!"

Ji Fuyou said directly, "Go and meet them!"

"Fight them?"

Yang Kaitai was slightly taken aback.

Zhou Wangchuan and his group were no pushovers.

Their strength is probably in no way inferior to theirs.

wrong!

They have seasonal floaters!

Ji Fuyou's strength is a level above theirs!
Furthermore, given that they have already lost one member, their chances of winning in a real fight are at least 70% to 80%.

With a 70-80% win rate, what is there to be afraid of?

"As the captain says."

Yang Kaitai nodded emphatically: "Among them, the most powerful are Zhou Wangchuan and Qin Zhou! Qin Zhou should be no less powerful than Xiao Xue, as for Zhou Wangchuan... I can hold him off for a while!"

"can!"

Ji Fuyou nodded: "I'll take care of Qin Zhou. The four of you will deal with the other three. I don't expect you to defeat them, but you should at least make sure you keep them occupied. Any questions?"

"it is good!"

"Qin Zhou is about the same age as me? Should I deal with him?"

"Follow the captain's instructions."

Fang Qiyun, Xiao Hanxue, and Liu Yiren all expressed their opinions.

The six people immediately left the prayer room.

They headed straight for the direction from which the figure had been lurking.

Soon, Yang Kaitai and Ji Fuyou sensed a probing spiritual force approaching.

"over there!"

Yang Kaitai said.

However, it seemed that Ji Fuyou and his group were acting too aggressively, and their obviously fearless attitude made them wary.

Upon contact with his spiritual energy, Zhou Wangchuan turned and left with his men, showing no intention of avenging his teammates.

"Chase!"

Ji Fuyou immediately gave the order and strode forward.

As they pursued, the distance between them gradually increased.

Ji Fuyou and Xiao Hanxue are in the first tier.

Fang Qiyun and Guan Yue are in the second tier.

Liu Yiren and Yang Kaitai naturally fell into the third tier.

However, after the chase had continued for several hundred meters, Yang Kaitai seemed to realize something: "Something's not right!"

He suddenly said, "If they wanted to escape, they should have run in the opposite direction, but now... the direction they're running in seems to be leading us in..."

Almost at the same moment Yang Kaitai realized this, Zhou Wangchuan's mental fluctuations suddenly reached their peak.

The next moment, these spiritual forces coalesced into a single entity, like a long arrow piercing through the mist, shooting straight towards a locked room only a hundred meters away from them.

meters!

This exceeded the scope of Ji Fuyou and Yang Kaitai's mental exploration.

They didn't know what was inside. But soon...

They know!
"Roar!"

It seemed as if it had been provoked.

A monster of the Fertile Clan, covered in dark red runes and wielding a knife in its left hand and a sword in its right, suddenly burst out of the room.

Almost simultaneously, a figure appeared only forty meters away from Ji Fuyou.

This distance was already within Ji Fuyou's mental perception range.

So much so that he could even "see" the figure making a throat-slitting gesture at him.

Because this figure had the same fluctuations as that spiritual arrow, the Fertile Guardian wielding two swords instantly rushed towards "his" location!

But Ji Fuyou could tell that the figure was not real.

"It's an illusion spell!"

But Liu Yiren was more than twenty meters away from him, and more than sixty meters away from that illusion.

At such a distance, she could not dispel that fantasy no matter what.

Unable to dispel the illusion...

This fertile guardian will inevitably mistake the illusion for one of his own, and then...

"Will this method work?"

Ji Fuyou's eyes sharpened.

"Back off! Don't let this guard spot you!"

At his command, they sprinted at full speed.

The speed, which was already a cut above Xiao Hanxue's, has reached another level.

With a leap, a distance of thirty or forty meters was covered almost instantly.

Just then, the fertile guard slashed out with his sword, shattering the illusion.

Taking advantage of the moment he drew his sword, Ji Fuyou, whose speed had increased to the extreme, directly unleashed the Overlord's True Form: Roaming the World!
"Roar!"

The sword in Fengwo Guard's other hand suddenly burst into flames, aiming to intercept and kill Ji Fuyou.

The speed that burst forth in that instant...

The Demonic Disintegration - Initial Stage!

The seasonal glider, which already roams the world at a near-ground speed, has reached its maximum speed!

He actually managed to break through the sword that the Fengwo guards were about to ambush, causing their sword to miss its mark.

Missing its target with its first strike, the fertile guard growled and turned to chase after Ji Fuyou, its speed bursting forth with incredible speed...

"His physique stat is at least 35 points! Maybe even 36 points!"

Ji Fuyou instantly made an estimate.

Physique stat: 35!

Moreover, despite having just been struck by Zhou Wangchuan's Refining Mystic Technique, he was unharmed except for being enraged...

This is a monster that is far beyond what people can currently handle.

but……

Ji Fuyou didn't even glance at it.

As he flew past the guard of Fengwo, his spirit surged, and a powerful spiritual force, no less than that of Yang Kaitai, swept across him.

In just a moment, he sensed five figures hiding in a house, trying their best to conceal their presence.

"Trying to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind? I'll grant your wish."

He landed on his right foot, adjusted his body slightly, and then unleashed his power, his whole body like an arrow that swept across the ground, heading straight for the house where the five people were hiding.

Although the house was locked and even concealed by some secret technique, it seemed to be completely empty...

But, it's no use.

"Oh!"

Ji Fuyou, who arrived with the true form of the Overlord, slammed into the tightly closed door.

The solid ironwood door was smashed to pieces by the violent force of his charge.

Wood chips flying everywhere!

Inside the house, Zhou Wangchuan, who was sitting and waiting for Ji Fuyou and his group to fight to the death with the Fengwo guards, had a drastic change in expression.

"you wanna die!"

The next moment, a mysterious refining technique seemed to explode like a soul-shattering blast, interfering with his mental frequency and seemingly tearing his thoughts and consciousness apart.

Meanwhile, Qin Zhou, whose fame in Qingzhou was no less than that of Xiao Hanxue, took direct action.

It's not a knife, it's not a sword, it's fists and palms!

He suddenly attacked, displaying strength equivalent to 29 or even 30 points of physical prowess, and struck out with a palm.

With the power of this palm strike, he could send him flying out of the room, crashing into the fertile guard behind him. He could then use this monster to launch a pincer attack and kill him!

To ensure the success of this attack, he had clearly used explosive techniques similar to the Blood Burning Secret Technique and the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique.

Otherwise, the power and speed unleashed wouldn't have reached this level!
but……

Neither the mysterious techniques nor the direct blows could affect Ji Fuyou's fighting spirit in the slightest.

What is the most significant characteristic of the Overlord's true form?
Tyrants!

Immune to all negative statuses!
Severe pain, mental disturbance, and even being knocked back by a palm strike are all within the scope of the Overlord's True Body's immunity.

He held his sword horizontally in front of him, directly blocking Qin Zhou's palm strike, which carried the force of a thunderbolt. His figure was majestic and immovable as a mountain.

Furthermore, with a sudden turn, he deflected the force of the palm strike to his side, and his left hand rotated 365 degrees as he turned, before striking Qin Zhou's back heavily.

Sensing something was wrong, Qin Zhou immediately turned around and blocked Ji Fuyou's attack with a palm strike.

block……

It was naturally blocked.

This near-master level martial artist possessed extremely high skill in boxing. Even as he hurriedly turned around, his moves remained perfectly fluid.

However, he did not possess the true form of a hegemon like Ji Fuyou.

Although he managed to block the attack, facing Ji Fuyou's 28.6 physique combined with the violent force unleashed by the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, his figure was forced to retreat uncontrollably.

And the direction of retreat...

"Roar!"

It was the Fertile Guards who had pursued them in their rage.
