Chapter 1691 (2/2)
The battlefield rocked, and each time he pa.s.sed through the tide of devil creatures, it was unknown how many he killed. It looked completely effortless as if he was just playing around.
At this time, people finally realized why Guo Ran had been so arrogant as to say he would get in the top ten. This kind of killing efficiency wasn’t something others could compare to.
“Long Chen, look! This person, how is he rising so quickly?!” exclaimed Tang Wan-er suddenly.
On the jade plate, one name was rapidly flas.h.i.+ng. Normally, a single flash meant that a person’s ranking had advanced, but this name had rapidly repeatedly flashed as soon as it had appeared. From under the five hundred, it charged into the top hundred in just a few breaths’ time, and even in the top hundred, his name continued to rapidly flash and climb.
“Hu Feng? An expert from the Southern Xuan Region? How come I’ve never heard of such an expert in the Southern Xuan Region?” Long Chen was startled. This kind of crazy rise in ranking had to be because of unleas.h.i.+ng huge attacks and racking up kills.
For example, Ye Zhiqiu and Meng Qi had unleashed large-area attacks to show their names on the rankings for an instant. However, now the devil creatures were incredibly powerful, and some even had a strange immunity to certain magical arts. It was now very difficult to wipe them all out. According to reason, such a crazy speed was impossible now.
“Fifty… twenty-seven… fifteen… nine… heavens, how is his rank rising so quickly?!” Gu Yang also exclaimed in shock.
Just how was Hu Feng doing this? In an instant, his name actually rose to the second rank. However, after reaching the second rank, his name stopped flas.h.i.+ng. Even he was unable to shake Xia Chen’s first place ranking.
The sudden appearance of a dark horse like Hu Feng shocked even Long Chen. He didn’t understand what this guy was thinking. For him to charge up the rankings so quickly, he had to be a top expert. But for such a top expert to attack at this time seemed off.
Qu Jianying had already warned him about this. The Devil Abyss’s eruption could be split into two portions. In the first portion, only weak creatures would appear with limited combat power.
He was to preserve his energy for the second portion, the true b.l.o.o.d.y battle. The real experts were all waiting for that time. However, this Hu Feng had suddenly appeared. It was befuddling.
“Is he aiming at Xia Chen?” wondered people. Did this Hu Feng dislike Xia Chen, so he wanted to kick him out of first place?
“I don’t know, but it’s fine. The real battle has yet to start. At this time, we must still fight steadily.” Long Chen also couldn’t understand what this Hu Feng was thinking, but in any case, they could just continue according to the plan.
“f.u.c.k, is he forcing me to unleash my ultimate moves?!” cursed Guo Ran. He had just gotten to rank seven when he fell back to rank eight because of Hu Feng, angering him.
“Hurry up and get to your work!” raged Long Chen. Releasing his ultimate moves at this time was exactly the opposite of what Long Chen had just said.
Only then did Guo Ran suppress his anger and continue killing. After three days, Guo Ran hadn’t just taken his spot back but had also advanced to rank six. Guo Ran was smiling brightly.
The entire Martial Heaven Continent was paying close attention to the Devil Slaughter Rankings. How many eyes were staring at him right now, discussing his ident.i.ty? Thinking of that, Guo Ran’s smile threatened to split his face. Now, his fame would really shake the heavens. How amazing was that?
Even after three days, Hu Feng’s position didn’t change. It didn’t drop, nor did it rise. Xia Chen’s position as rank one was unshakable.
“Why did this person’s name suddenly turn dark?” exclaimed Tang Wan-er. The name of an expert who had climbed into the top ten suddenly started to dim. It then vanished.
“It means that person’s dead,” said Long Chen flatly.
“But how is that possible? Such a powerful person, how did they die to these devil creatures?” Tang Wan-er couldn’t believe it.
“Who said that they had to have died to the devil creatures?”
“Wait, you mean… but isn’t it unpermitted to fight amongst each other in the Devil Abyss?”
“Foolish girl, rules are nothing more than a joke. Some people exist above the rules because they are strong enough that the rules can’t restrict them. This person was likely killed by someone they had offended. I would even guess that the culprit is most likely the Bloodkill Hall. Only the Bloodkill Hall’s experts have killing power sufficient to eliminate such a powerful existence without them being able to escape.” Long Chen smiled faintly. His sixth sense was telling him that the Bloodkill Hall was starting to grow active again.
“Then it’s a good thing that we’re the only ones in the Eastern Xuan Region. At least, we won’t be sneak attacked by others,” said Gu Yang.
Just as they were talking, s.p.a.ce began to explode, and terrifying auras rose. It felt like the world would collapse.
“Xuantian Dao Sect disciples, retreat! Dragonblood Legion, form the dual-wing killing formation! The real battle starts now!” Long Chen’s expression turned serious as he looked at the crumbling s.p.a.ce ahead. The second portion of the eruption had come.
