Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 158 Opportunity
"Form a defensive formation, back to back, and don't let this monster pick us off one by one!"

He Qilin gave a low shout.

His words instantly united the team of only 12 people.

However, the cult leader of Fengwo was not in a hurry at all. The wound on his right hand was flashing with light and was healing rapidly.

At the same time, he waved his left hand.

The remaining 1 Fertile Guardian, 11 Flame Monsters, and 12 Flame Monsters that came down from the altar—a total of 24 monsters—charged towards the group of people at the same time.

The leader of Fengwo, however, flapped his fleshy wings and instead of pursuing Ji Fuyou, who had injured him, calmly headed towards the connection between the outer and inner halls.

Clearly, he wanted to quickly defeat Shen Jun and his group, summon more Flame Monsters and Fertile Guardians for assistance, and overwhelm them all with sheer numbers.

"Oh no! Shen Jun and the others can't hold off this monster!"

"Stop him!"

Xiao Jiuge and He Qilin's voices rang out simultaneously.

The next moment, a terrifying sword intent suddenly erupted from the silver sword in Gu Yinbing's hand.

The sword intent was chilling, overwhelming the scene.

Even Ji Fuyou, who had already mastered the art of swordsmanship, felt as if his soul was about to be pierced by the sharpness of this sword intent.

"Infinite Sword Intent!"

As the sword intent reached its peak, the silver sword suddenly roared, carrying a murderous intent that almost permeated the entire inner hall, and shot straight towards the Fengwo Sect Master.

The leader of Fengwo immediately sensed the threat posed by the flying sword.

He tried to dodge, but with the Limitless Sword Intent locking him in, he had nowhere to retreat.

Seeing the silver sword coming at him, he roared and a bolt of lightning condensed in his hand, striking the incoming silver sword in mid-air.

"Crack!"

Amidst the intense electric shocks and tremors, the spiritual energy fluctuations on the Silver Light Sword rapidly dissipated.

Immediately afterwards...

"Bang!"

The silver sword seemed to have lost all its spirit and fell to the ground.

Gu Yinbing, who was riding a sword, turned pale instantly and swayed precariously.

"Roar!"

Having knocked down the silver sword, the Flourishing Cult Leader took another step forward, about to stomp down on the sharp blade.

It seemed they intended to completely destroy this divine weapon.

Apparently...

The silver sword imbued with the sword intent of Wuji had already made him feel a slight threat to his life, and he wanted to eliminate this danger on the spot with the most decisive means.

Fortunately, Zhang Yi and Lin Zhongtian had already rushed out at this moment.

The two used special combat techniques similar to the Blood Burning Technique and the Blade Aura, respectively, and leaped to the front of the Fengwo Sect Leader.

But the Fiery Lord merely swept his fleshy wings across the ground.

These two seemingly weak fleshy wings actually unleashed the power of wind and thunder, directly sending the two people flying.

However, despite being blocked by the two, a figure shot out like an arrow!

Xiao Jiuge!
"Lock me!"

The sword in his hand seemed to carry some kind of elusive tremor as it fiercely pointed towards the body of the Fiery Cult Leader.

The leader of the Fengwo Sect unleashed a thunderous strike, relying on the strength of his protective force field and his own iron-like claws to catch the sword that Xiao Jiuge had thrust out.

Lightning flashes!

As the claws and sword gripped tightly, dazzling lightning burst forth through their contact, striking Xiao Jiuge's body.

Almost as these lightning bolts struck Xiao Jiuge, numbing him, the Qi and blood within Fengwo Sect Leader's body also slightly stagnated.

There seemed to be a brief pause.

Locking Yuan Technique!
This is Xiao Jiuge's strongest secret technique, using exquisite and unparalleled power exertion skills to shake the opponent's body and lock their vital energy and spirit.

However, the physique of the Fengwo Sect Leader was far superior to that of Xiao Jiuge.

In addition, there's his own protective force field...

The Locking Yuan Technique, at best, relied on its supernatural properties to catch the Fengwo Sect Leader off guard and make him feel uncomfortable. However, it was far from being able to lock his blood circulation.
The next moment, even more violent lightning erupted from the hands of the Fertile Cult Master.

He suddenly thrust out with both hands, striking the sword that Xiao Jiuge was thrusting towards him.

The force of the protective force field seemed to be concentrated entirely into the palm strike.

Under such extreme mobilization and vibration of force, the divine sword that Xiao Jiuge was holding, which was very likely to have reached the level of a divine weapon, was actually broken by Fengwo Sect Master's palm and shattered.

As he clashed his hands together, shattering Xiao Jiuge's sword, he opened his hands wide again, one on the left and one on the right, aiming at Xiao Jiuge's paralyzed brain, as if to strike his left and right temples with his palms clasped together.

If this strike hits...

His head would definitely be smashed to pieces on the spot.

At that moment, Ji Fuyou, who had previously crossed paths with the leader of Fengwo, turned around and attacked, his innate armor-piercing sword energy, carried by Hengxing Tianxia, ​​whistling as it came.

Where the sword points...

It was none other than the head of the Fiery Cult Leader.

The Fengwo Sect Master had experienced firsthand the damage caused by sword energy that rendered protective force fields ineffective. He couldn't care less about killing Xiao Jiuge. He turned around immediately, and as his fleshy wings sent Xiao Jiuge flying, his eyes flashed with a sharp light. He clasped his hands together, and amidst a burst of thunder and lightning, he attempted to catch Ji Fuyou's sword with his bare hands.

"boom!"

Lightning and electricity flashed simultaneously!

Even though Ji Fuyou's sword strike was precise and powerful, Fengwo Sect Leader still managed to catch it in his palm thanks to his extremely sharp reflexes and insight.

The violent lightning and force instantly shattered the high-frequency oscillations of the innate armor-piercing sword energy.

The remaining lightning power spread along the Dragon Blood Sword and over Ji Fuyou's body.

"Whoosh!" With the sword aura that had lost its innate armor-piercing sword energy gone, the Fengwo Sect Master let out a low roar. Despite the sword's relentless advance, he managed to block the Dragon Blood Sword's edge with his head, or rather, with his protective force field.

It seemed that the Dragon Blood Sword could not advance even an inch further.

however……

He clearly underestimated the force of Ji Fuyou's attack, which involved wielding the Dragon Blood Sword, disintegrating the Heavenly Demon, and unleashing his true form as a conqueror.

They overestimated the paralyzing effect of their lightning power.

Ji Fuyou, who was unleashing his true form as the Overlord, was completely unaffected by the paralysis caused by the lightning.

The violent force was transmitted through the Dragon Blood Sword, bombarding the protective force field of the Flourishing Sect Master. In the end, the power exceeded the defensive limit of his protective force field.

As the protective force field rippled outwards, the shockwave dissipated.

The force field was actually shattered by this overwhelming and unparalleled burst of power.

This outcome caused a flash of horror in the eyes of the Fengwo Sect Leader. As his protective energy shattered, he hurriedly turned his head away...

"laugh!"

Blood splattered!
The ears of the Fiery Lord, along with half of his face, were torn to shreds by the immense force of the Dragon Blood Sword.

"Roar!"

The intense pain caused him to roar in shock and anger, and his massive body retreated rapidly, leaping up to quickly widen the distance between him and Ji Fuyou.

"it is good!"

"Well done!"

"Damn it! So close! Just a little bit more!"

This exquisite sword strike, which nearly killed the leader of the Fengwo Sect, caused the crowd, who were already feeling the suffocating power of the leader, to shout in unison.

Their morale soared.

They weren't afraid of the monster's strength; what they feared was the lack of any hope of defeating it.

Ji Fuyou's success in injuring the monster twice clearly gave them a great boost.

but……

Ji Fuyou was far from relaxed.

The speed at which the cult leader of Fengwo retreated...

That agility...

He's on a completely different level!
In other words, if this monster doesn't want to fight him, he won't even be able to touch a single hair on his head.

especially……

Whether it was the sword strike that had previously slashed the monster's arm, or the blow that had shattered half of the Confucian leader's face, both were being visibly repaired by the monster.

Its restorative effect is even better than that of the Healing Light.

In other words, this monster not only possesses a powerful physique, a protective force field, paralyzing attacks, and astonishing speed, but also terrifying regenerative abilities.

This kind of strength could bring him, and all the martial artists present, a complete and overwhelming advantage.

"The most terrifying aspects of this monster are its protective force field and the paralyzing effect of its lightning! Of these, the paralyzing effect is the most troublesome, and the lightning attacks are instantaneous and impossible to dodge. Fortunately, there's always a way out! Captain Ji Fuyou is our greatest hope for breaking this deadlock!"

By this time, He Qilin and the others had regained their composure.

The others nodded in agreement.

Since the war with the leader of Fengwo began, only Ji Fuyou has managed to inflict damage on this monster.

As Feng Yulou nodded, he added a reminder: "Don't forget, speed and recovery ability are equally terrifying!"

"Leave the speed to me!"

He Qilin said in a deep voice, "I can risk a mental backlash and use the Demon-Suppressing Spell to suppress him once!"

"I can still unleash a Limitless Sword Intent."

Gu Yinbing also spoke up.

Her silver sword had been retrieved and reactivated by her sword control technique.

"You're the one who's going to help with recovery."

He Qilin turned his gaze to Liu Yiren: "I remember you said you refined two types of poisons. One type can weaken the opponent's strength, and the other type is equivalent to a lethal poison... I don't expect your poisons to kill Master Fengwo. It's enough if they can suppress his recovery ability."

"it is good."

Liu Yiren nodded: "However, I need a chance to get close to the monster."

"I'll fight for you."

"The wind and rain tower said in a deep voice."

The reason why the cult leader of Fengwo did not crush his head immediately when he held it was because of the existence of the Vajra Indestructible Body.

Therefore, even if he was paralyzed, he could still hold on for a while thanks to his indestructible body.

"If I can break through the monster's protective force field, my Locking Yuan Technique will also have some effect, although it won't be very strong..."

Xiao Jiuge said.

"Then it's decided!"

He Qilin said in a deep voice, "Zhang Yi, Lin Zhongtian, you and the others hold off the other monsters. Uncle Feng and Uncle Xiao go and hold off the Fengwo Cult Leader, and assist Ms. Liu Yiren in administering the poison..."

He paused for a moment, then said, “Considering that Captain Ji said the poisoning might cause the Fengwo Cult Leader to keep an eye on Ms. Liu and hunt her down, Ms. Gu must be prepared to launch a full-scale attack at this time. Even if she can’t hurt him, she must ensure Ms. Liu’s safety.”

"can."

Gu Yinbing nodded.

"In the split second between Ms. Liu's poisoning and Ms. Gu's sword strike, the attention of the Fengwo Sect Leader will inevitably be completely drawn to it. At that moment, I will use the Demon-Suppressing Spell, risking a mental backlash to suppress the Fengwo Sect Leader for even half a second... In the end, it will depend on Captain Ji."

After He Qilin finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Ji Fuyou: "All the arrangements were made to create this half-second, and this half-second is Captain Ji's only chance to kill the Fengwo Sect Leader!"
