Chapter 2495: Despicable Means! (1/2)

It wasn’t surprising that everyone couldn’t believe the fact that Huang Xiaolong had managed to enter the top one thousand ranks. Even though they thought that he was merely lucky, he had already broken through the nine hundredth rank!

“This brat… He’s really something else! Hahaha!” Tyrant Chu snickered in his heart, “You have to keep this up! Don’t lose your place in the top nine hundred!”

That was how human emotion worked. Previously, he had wanted Huang Xiaolong to remain on the stele. Right now, he hoped that Huang Xiaolong would maintain his spot above the nine hundred mark.

As the crowd outside the city got fired up, everyone else taking part in the Trial of Blood couldn’t help but notice Huang Xiaolong’s rise.

From the light ring around their wrist, they could observe the ranking list.

“How can little doggy Huang obtain a place on the stele?!” Li Chen frowned when he saw the ranking board. “Did he actually comprehend the Nirvana Purity Holy Art?!”

Even though others might not know what the Nirvana Purity Holy Art was, as the leader of the holy princes in the Holy Heavens, he knew what it was. It was a high-level holy art, and he had failed when he had tried to cultivate it in the past.

Moreover, he also knew the secrets behind the holy art. It was especially useful when dealing with the ghost devils and with Huang Xiaolong’s Buddhism attributed saint godhead, he would be able to fully utilize the holy art. In the Ghost Devil City, Huang Xiaolong’s combat prowess would be no weaker than some Ninth Tribulation half-True Saints….

However, Li Chen chuckled to himself sinisterly, “Even though the Nirvana Purity Holy Art is strong, he can only last for an hour. When he uses up all his energy, he will definitely fall out of the leaderboards.”

No longer bothering with Huang Xiaolong, Li Chen continued to kill ghost devils.

In one of the desolate regions in the Ghost Devil City, Lin Xiaoying slew a ghost devil with a cultivation realm at the Ninth Tribulation half-True Saint Realm and looked at the leaderboards. When she noticed Huang Xiaolong’s name, she sucked in a cold breath.

“Did someone help Thirteen to kill ghost devils?!” Lin Xiaoying’s mind was filled with question marks. She didn’t understand how Huang Xiaolong could kill ghost devils so quickly. A sense of fear washed over her heart all of a sudden. Didn’t they say that one couldn’t rely on external assistance in the trial? If anyone were to discover any traces of foul play, they would be disqualified! They would also need to apologize to everyone present!

That wasn’t all. The faction behind them would also need to pay up a hundred thousand high-grade holy spiritual jade stones as a penalty!

She wasn’t the only one who was shocked. Tan Juan, Ji Xinyi, Xie Bufan, Dou Rui, and the others didn’t believe their eyes when they saw Huang Xiaolong entering the top thousand. A similar thought flashed through their minds. Someone was killing the ghost devils for Huang Xiaolong!

“Dumb*ss! How can someone be stupid enough to cheat in the Trial of Blood?” Huai Po sneered, “Huang Xiaolong, are you stupid enough to use such methods to win the bet?”

As everyone locked their attention onto Huang Xiaolong’s rank, they discovered that it continued to rise.

After two short hours, he reached the 790th rank.

It was obvious that he wasn’t going to stop anytime soon.

By this time, everyone in the plaza was confused. They no longer believed that Huang Xiaolong was using his own abilities to take part in the trial, and they shook their heads in disappointment. Xue Lingyun of the Clear Snow Palace felt that Huang Xiaolong had violated the rules of the trial. She didn’t believe that he could climb to the seven hundredth rank with his abilities.

How could a Fourth Tribulation Half-True Saint kill ghost devils faster than a Ninth Tribulation half-True Saint?

It didn’t make sense.

Even if some sort of miracle happened, it was impossible for something like that to happen.

Cao Nan couldn’t help but reveal a mocking smile, “Tyrant Chu, are you sure your disciple is merely lucky? Are you sure no one else is killing ghost devils for him?”
