Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 20 Blue
The head was severed, and the nervous system was destroyed.

The spider twitched for a moment, then finally stopped moving.

Upon landing, Ji Fuyou, who had been gliding and turning while maintaining a half-crouched stance with his sword in hand, stood up.

He approached the spider's corpse and examined it closely.

I have to say, she's very ugly.

It's so ugly that just looking at it can cause psychological discomfort.

Not to mention the unexpected encounter with it in this fog-shrouded nightmare environment, and being chased by it.

The psychological terror is off the charts.

By killing this monster, he had broken through the second barrier of the dream realm.

Next…

The third monster – the giant scorpion.

Ji Fuyou's thoughts were racing, but he had already arrived beside the severed head of the human-spider.

Without hesitation, he quickly split the spider's head open.

The first thing you see is a ray of blue light.

"blue?"

Ji Fuyou's heart stirred, and he quickly took out one of the crystals.

Blue Source Crystal!

and……

Compared to the irregular shapes of the previous two source crystals, this blue source crystal is actually round.

At first glance, it looks like a blue pearl.

Regardless of its origin, it possesses an indescribable beauty that makes one want to cherish and care for it.

"Huh!? That's not right!"

Ji Fuyou quickly noticed the abnormality.

This source crystal is actually...

It can affect his emotions!?
"Spiritual Source Crystal!?"

At that moment, an uncontrollable cry of ecstatic joy came from the mist.

Ji Fuyou, who had just been affected by the blue source crystal, was shocked to find that the sword-wielding man from before had somehow gotten close!

"call out!"

The arrow breaks through the air!

With his mental perception heightened, Ji Fuyou immediately sensed the arrows shooting from the mist!
With his mental energy activated, Ji Fuyou seemed to have discerned the trajectory of the arrow's flight.

The next moment, he reversed his grip on the sword and swept it horizontally!

"Crack!"

The sword flashed!
At a speed so fast that it was difficult for ordinary people to catch, the arrow that shot right in front of them was actually cut in half in mid-air!
Just then, a figure, like a ferocious beast, surged forward with a suffocating killing intent.

"Put down the Source Crystal!"

The astonishing speed and terrifying power were so great that even though Ji Fuyou caught the trajectory of his attacking sword, he only had time to block it with his own sword.

"boom!"

Sparks flew!

As the two swords clashed, Ji Fuyou was jolted and staggered back several steps.

The alloy sword he was gripping so tightly almost flew out of his hand!
strength!

The swordsman was far stronger than him!

His physique...

It will definitely reach 13, or even 14 points!
The sword strike caused Ji Fuyou to lose his balance, but the man wielding the sword did not slow down at all.

With his other hand, his fingers spread wide, he gripped Ji Fuyou's shoulder like an iron hoop. The technique of dislocating tendons and bones contained within was enough to break his entire arm in an instant once it landed!
Fortunately, the fugax reacted extremely quickly!
With his mental energy severely depleted, he clearly discerned the trajectory of the sword-wielding man's claw as it tore through the air.

You must shift your body slightly to avoid this attack!
but……

The sword-wielding man's claw seemed to contain several variations.

As Ji Fuyou dodged, his move changed instantly. The skill and naturalness he displayed, along with the fluidity of his movements, fully demonstrated the exquisite level of his claw technique.

Ji Fuyou, unable to dodge in time, had his wrist grabbed instantly!
The swordsman's five fingers seemed to have transformed into steel bones, and the force emanating from his body shattered the bones in his wrist one by one.

Dark power!

The intense pain caused Ji Fuyou to turn deathly pale in an instant, even though he had been killed hundreds of times in his dreams.

But this pain brought him to an unprecedented level of calm.

With focused concentration, he swung his sword and slashed down at the arm of the sword-wielding man who was holding his wrist, forcing the man to release his grip and retreat.

Ji Fuyou also suddenly leaned back and flew backward, kicking up a clod of earth without regard for his balance, sending it flying towards a tree that was hidden in the mist not far away.

Pressing their advantage, the sword-wielding man who had already pounced on Ji Fuyou was startled by Ji Fuyou's illogical act of kicking the ground.

Traps! This forest is full of traps set by that brat!
These traps not only caused him a minor setback not long ago, injuring his arm, but they also managed to kill a level four mental-type alien beast like the human-man spider!

We must not be careless!

In an instant, his vigilance rose to its peak, and his charging forward figure quickly turned from offense to defense!
Waiting for the attack that could come at any moment once the trap is triggered!
A moment of vigilance is warranted...

Nothing happened; no traps were triggered!

The man with the sword instantly realized that he had been tricked!

"Hand over the Source Crystal!"

He stared coldly at Ji Fuyou: "A blue spiritual source crystal, you can't handle it! Hand it over and I might spare your life, otherwise..."

Ji Fuyou didn't waste any words.

Without hesitation, he grasped the Spirit Source Crystal with his right hand, which was cracked and bleeding.

The price of this item will definitely be in the hundreds of millions...

More than one hundred million spiritual crystals transformed into a cool energy that directly entered his body and surged towards his brain.

This scene made the man with the sword's eyes widen in horror.

Spiritual Source Crystal!

Blue Spiritual Crystal!
At this crucial time of the World Martial Arts Tournament, which is said to hold special significance, how much is it worth!?
"You little beast, you deserve to die!"

He roared, his boundless rage transforming into a tangible killing intent, which surged forward as he drew his sword.

And Ji Fuyou...

Under the nourishment of that cool energy, his thoughts became calmer and more rational than ever before.

Facing the figure of the sword-wielding man who was chasing after him, he held the sword in one hand and raised it high on his shoulder.

His charging figure and the blade of his raised sword formed an absolutely horizontal straight line.

Steady your sword...

Then, draw your sword!
"call out!"

The sword's edge rubbed violently against the air, creating a piercing whistle.

This scene caused the sword-wielding man's pupils to shrink slightly.

But he showed no sign of backing down.

Based on his extensive experience from countless battles, he was able to accurately predict the trajectory of Ji Fuyou's sword strike.

He swung his sword upwards, precisely blocking the blade of the sword.

"Zizi!"

The two swords clashed and rubbed against each other, sparks visible to the naked eye flew out!

Just as he blocked Ji Fuyou's thrusting sword with his own, he suddenly twisted his waist, using the force of the twist to swing out his left hand. His five fingers curled into sharp claws, and he swiftly clawed at Ji Fuyou's neck.

With the skill he had used to cripple Ji Fuyou's wrist with a single claw, if this grab had landed, it would have been enough to break his cervical vertebrae on the spot.

However, at this moment, Ji Fuyou was in a state of heightened perception.

Even before the sword-wielding man's claw could strike, the trembling of his muscles and the flow of his blood seemed to have already indicated the direction of Ji Fuyou's attack.

As the attack came, he lowered his body, and through precise mental control of his physical body, the power in his entire body seemed to condense into one force. As he charged forward, he strode forward, the force concentrated on his shoulder, and slammed into the chest of the sword-wielding man who was attacking him.

Power!

Ming Jin!

At that moment, his body suddenly straightened like a bent bow. With a soft crackling sound, all his strength flowed through his body and exploded, slamming into the chest of the sword-wielding man through this close-quarters collision.

The man with the sword's expression changed drastically.

Ji Fuyou's counterattack was extremely dangerous; it was like dancing on a tightrope!
especially……

His previously scattered power was now suddenly channeling tremendous force!

The sudden change left him no time to adjust his tactics!

Seeing that life and death were hanging by a thread, his face flashed with ferocity. Ignoring his muscle strain, he unleashed his full power and accelerated his attack on Ji Fuyou's throat!
"die!"

Meet on a narrow road!
There's no turning back!

In a life-or-death struggle, it's all about who's more ruthless and who's more willing to go all out!
"Crack!"

The bones were shattered.

The man with the sword had his chest caved in, with countless ribs broken. It was as if he had been hit by a raging giant elephant. His body, weighing over 80 kilograms, was thrown four or five meters before crashing heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dry branches and decaying leaves.

As he was knocked away by Ji Fuyou, his sharp claws, which he had just swung out, had already grazed Ji Fuyou's neck. The steel-like fingers had barely grazed him, but they still left five bright red marks on his neck.

If the two sides could get even half a step closer...

He could probably tear Ji Fuyou's neck apart with the strength of his five fingers.

Warriors fighting.

In the blink of an eye, life and death can be reversed.
