Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 367 Fear
"No!"

Terry felt an urge to roar to the heavens in anger.

Because, of the ten martial saints present, five were from the Northern United States!

Even among the four martial saints who were invited, two of them had close friendships with the Northern Kingdom.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were pawns planted by the United States of the North in other countries.

Currently, all seven martial saints belonging to the Northern United States have been killed in a single battle. This loss...

Even for them, who are one of the four poles of the world, this is unbearable.

However, he soon stopped worrying about the magnitude of the losses.

Ji Fuyou, who had swiftly slaughtered the ten Martial Saints, turned his blade and headed straight for the three sixth-level Martial Saints.

He is going to...

Behead to kill!
……

"Move! Move!"

Terry roared inwardly.

Martial will, spiritual belief, and life force erupted and burned with all their might, just to get rid of the suffocating fear and shock brought by the Nine Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon.

He even glanced at Blackface and Hercules out of the corner of his eye...

and many more!

Hercules...

died! ?
when! ?

When it was swallowed by that fiery dragon-like sword energy?

but……

It’s unreasonable!
As a sixth-tier Martial Saint, Hercules possessed an incredibly powerful life force field, capable of withstanding even the Blazing Sun Sword Technique. How could a mere sword aura shatter his life force field, even going so far as to kill him?
That sword energy...

That sword energy!?
He suddenly recalled the scene where Ji Fuyou unleashed his sword energy, killing a fifth-level Martial Saint in one fell swoop, and then further shattering the life force fields of two fifth-level Martial Saints!

The life force field was as fragile as paper in the face of that blazing sword energy, and it broke with a single puncture!
that……

This is no ordinary sword energy at all!
Rather, it is an armor-piercing sword aura that is even more terrifying than the Blazing Sun Sword Technique!

The power of the Blazing Sun Sword Technique lies in its overwhelming momentum; when unleashed, it is utterly devastating.

That sword energy...

However, it possesses the characteristics of being indestructible and incinerating, easily penetrating and breaking through any protective force field or life force field defense.

Therefore, the unsuspecting Hercules perished under that sword energy before he could even unleash his true power.

"Therefore, in today's battle, not only will those fifth-tier Martial Saints die, but we sixth-tier Martial Saints, who have already stood at the pinnacle of a nation, or even the world, will also die!?"

This thought suddenly appeared in Terry's mind without any warning.

So, you can die.

They simply sensed Ji Fuyou's increasingly assertive style and worried that he would continue to shrink their rights and living space in the future.

Furthermore, Raymond, as the Martial Saint of the Northern Union, was publicly wanted by Ji Fuyou. As the strongest person in the Northern Union, he could not stand idly by. That's why he, along with the Griffin and Black Gold Empire who had the same concerns, came up with this simple but extremely powerful encirclement and killing plan.

Before implementing this plan, they were full of confidence, believing that with their three sixth-level warriors and ten fifth-level martial saints, they could easily deal with Ji Fuyou, who was only slightly stronger than them.

At worst, they could fight to a standstill, making Ji Fuyou understand that they were not to be trifled with, thus causing him to lower his profile and stop being so aggressive.

He never imagined it would end like this.

While they were breaking through to the sixth rank, Ji Fuyou had already broken through to the seventh rank.

Now that Hercules is dead, he too will inevitably meet the same fate as him.

"Over the years, I have held a high position, able to control the life and death of thousands with a single command. In ancient times, I would not be an exaggeration to call myself a true god. Over time, I forgot that I... could also die..."

He felt bitter inside, staring tragically at the oncoming blade of light. His inner resentment, pain, and despair erupted completely.

finally……

As the blade flashed, they were all plunged into endless darkness.

……

"Roar!"

Almost at the same moment that Terry's head was torn apart by the blade's energy, a beast-like growl came from Blackface's mouth.

There is great terror between life and death!
Under this unprecedented fear, the black-faced sixth-order Martial Saint completely unleashed his bestial nature, struggling to break free from the shock caused by the Nine Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon.

However, having escaped the terror of this situation, he no longer had the courage to fight against Ji Fuyou.

Without any hesitation, he sprang towards the exit at top speed.

"Want to leave!?"

Ji Fuyou shifted his gaze and looked at the blazing sun once more.

He then leaped forward and pounced on Black Face.

However, this king of the underworld seems to have mastered some kind of movement technique; his burst of speed is in no way inferior to Ji Fuyou's, and at this rate...

He might actually have a chance to escape Ji Fuyou's pursuit.

However, just as he was about to rush out of the cave and escape, Fang Qiyun, who was confronting Che Xuan at the cave entrance, suddenly pulled out, his body flashing with lightning, transforming into a thunderous sword aura that intercepted him in mid-air.

Che Xuan, who was responsible for keeping Fang Qiyun occupied, instinctively wanted to intervene and block the attack.

But at that moment, Ji Fuyou, who had been closely following, fixed his gaze on him...

It really was just a glance.

It's neither a witnessing skill nor a secret technique.

It was just an ordinary gaze. But when it fell on Che Xuan, who was trying to stop Fang Qiyun, it struck him like a thunderbolt.

I felt as if I was gripped by an indescribable fear.

In his mind, Ji Fuyou had broken through the siege of the six Martial Saints, devoured the life of the Hercules with the Sun-Chasing Sword Qi, and was unstoppable in the attacks of the ten Martial Saints. He then manifested the Heavenly Dragon, which stunned the scene, and ruthlessly killed the seven Martial Saints...

Including Terry, the sixth-tier Martial Saint, the strongest man in the Northern United States!

Scenes flashed through his mind in a blur, accumulating into a suffocating pressure, which finally crashed down upon him with Ji Fuyou's gaze...

For a moment, he froze on the spot.

Without being subjected to any mental magic or skill, his mind was filled with unspeakable fear. He dared not even move his feet, let alone intercept Fang Qiyun.

He watched helplessly as his "ally," Blackface, was struck by Fang Qiyun's sudden, intercepting thunderous sword energy.

Despite the life force field blocking it, the sword energy did not cause any real damage to Black Face, but the thunderous sword energy itself had a paralyzing effect...

Slightly affected by this sword energy, Black Face's speed plummeted, and he was instantly overtaken by Ji Fuyou.

The blazing sun, formed from condensed energy, was poured into the Judgment Blade, transforming into a sword aura that pierced through dozens of meters of void, precisely striking the body of the Black Face, which was paralyzed by the thunderous sword aura.

His life force field was operating at full speed. Having just eliminated the paralyzing power brought by the Thunder Sword Qi, the firelight carried by the Sun Chasing Sword Qi instantly magnified in his eyes.

next second...

He seemed to feel a burning pain in his chest, and...

An indescribable emptiness.

He lowered his head with difficulty, looking into his abdomen...

But there was a hole nearly a foot in diameter, filled with his body. His internal organs had all dissipated, and the surrounding area was charred black from the intense heat of the flames.

"I……"

The king of the underworld opened his mouth, as if to say something.

In the end, the entire body collapsed like a building block frame with its support shaft removed.

From then on, there were thirteen Martial Saints—including three who truly stood at the pinnacle of the world, all of whom were sixth-tier Martial Saints…

Total destruction!

Not a single one left!
No one survived!

This result left not only Linton, Che Xuan, Yang Xing, and Meng Ke, all Black Gold and Griffin Martial Saints, but even Fang Qiyun and Xiao Juechen, Martial Saints belonging to Ji Fuyou and Da Shang camps, wide-eyed and their faces filled with disbelief.

They knew Ji Fuyou was strong, but they never expected him to be this strong.

For several breaths, the room remained deathly silent, no one daring to utter a sound.

until……

"Qiyun, take stock of the spoils of war."

Ji Fuyou's voice broke the deathly silence at the cave entrance.

It was said that Fang Qiyun was asked to take stock of the spoils of war, but in reality, it was like a proclamation, telling the four martial saints of the Griffin and Black Gold kingdoms—you can breathe now.

"call!"

At this moment, the four martial saints also began to exhale and pant.

Their faces were pale, and their eyes were filled with lingering fear.

In fact, they had received instructions before they arrived that if there was any hope of killing Ji Fuyou, they could join the Northern United States and complete the final blow to this number one martial saint of Crimson Star.

Now it seems……

fortunately!

Fortunately, they acted prudently and did not act rashly.

otherwise……

Given Ji Fuyou's overwhelming and absolute strength in defeating the thirteen Martial Saints, even if the four of them were to leave the battlefield, it would simply add four more corpses to the list.

At that moment, Monko seemed to sense something and felt a chill run down his spine.

He raised his head slightly and met Ji Fuyou's gaze.

"Although your two Griffin Martial Saints did not make a move, it is a fact that you blocked my Great Shang Martial Saint. You can be spared the death penalty, but each of you must bring two Golden Physique Source Crystals as ransom."

Ji Fuyou calmly said, "I need to see the Source Crystal in Starlight City in three days. Otherwise, I will go to the Griffin to collect it myself."

"Two golden physique source crystals..."

Monko's expression immediately changed.

However, before he could even bargain, Che Xuan said first, "Thank you, Martial Saint Ji. We will definitely deliver it within 3 days."

Ji Fuyou then looked at Yang Xing and Lin Dun of the Black Gold Empire.

He had already plundered all the high-grade source crystals from the Black Gold Empire, so they definitely couldn't afford to give him source crystals to redeem their lives.

Then we'll put in the effort.

"You two, I don't care what methods you use to destroy Azure Lake and this forbidden area. You can only leave when Azure Lake is gone."

Ji Fuyou said directly.

The two martial saints dared not object and quickly said, "We will obey Martial Saint Ji's orders and head to Bibo Lake now."

"Ah."

Ji Fuyou responded and left with his knife.

A major battle that could influence the future of Red Star for a long time to come has come to an end.
