Chapter 1698: Fighting for the Front of the Pack

Guo Ran had been first, but after his shrapnel fragments had lost effect, his ranking had rapidly fallen since he had relied purely on his dual sabers to kill . Despite how hard he had tried, his ranking had still fallen, driving him crazy .

By the time Guo Ran had come out of the channel, he had fallen to fifth place . That couldn’t be blamed on him . He had already done very well . The only thing that could be said was that his compet.i.tors were all monsters .

Now that he was killing a Golden Claw Blood Devil every few seconds with his arrows, he should be able to quickly climb above others .

After all, each Golden Claw Blood Devil was worth fifty million kill points . As for one of those ordinary blood-colored devil creatures, they were only worth a thousand kill points . One Golden Claw Blood Devil was equivalent to slaughtering all the blood-colored devil creatures here .

With Guo Ran’s reminder, Long Chen looked at his jade plate . When he saw the rankings, his pupils shrank . He was silent for a long time .

“Boss, did I manage to take first place or not?” asked Guo Ran .

“You’ve already fallen to rank twenty-one . No, rank twenty-two . ”

“What?!”

Guo Ran was so shocked that he missed his shot . He hastily released another arrow, killing a Golden Claw Blood Devil being restricted by Liu Ruyan .

“Boss, how is that possible?”

Long Chen looked at the expert in first place . He felt a slight chill . The Bloodkill Hall’s Dong Mingyu .

If it was an expert from somewhere else, he wouldn’t be too shocked . However, this name made him feel a vague sense of unease .

The Bloodkill Hall did not possess area attacks . They killed their targets one by one .

This Dong Mingyu had to have been waiting for this moment . They were targeting the Golden Claw Blood Devils, using their single-target killing arts to quickly eliminate them .

It had only been two hours since the third eruption started, but Dong Mingyu’s kill points had surpa.s.sed nineteen billion . That meant she had to have killed close to four hundred Golden Claw Blood Devils in two hours .

These Golden Claw Blood Devils were on the same level as Empyreans, yet this Dong Mingyu killed them so easily .

Considering his enmity with the Bloodkill Hall and how he had destroyed their statue of the Killing G.o.d, Long Chen was mortal enemies with them . He might not be afraid of them, but he was worried about them targeting the people beside him .

However, knowing that the Bloodkill Hall had such a terrifying figure meant that he was at least prepared . It was better than not knowing at all .

When Long Chen saw second place, a strange expression crept over his face . A beautiful face appeared in his mind . It was a face that was so perfect that it shouldn’t exist in this world . Even each hair of her eyebrows was perfectly symmetrical . There was no flaw to pick out .

She was a woman whose beauty could cause the downfall of a nation . She was a woman who was merciless, becoming hostile in the blink of an eye . She was a woman who was a vicious, ruthless killer . She was a woman whose thoughts Long Chen could never read .

“Leng Yueyan . ”

There was no prefix to this name . There was only an image of a fierce human skeleton . That was the mark of the Corrupt path . Leng Yueyan was actually partic.i.p.ating in this battle of the Devil Abyss .

Qu Jianying had said that even the Corrupt path would partic.i.p.ate . They normally wouldn’t attack the weaker devil creatures and would instead kill the strongest ones to get first place . That was to suppress the Righteous path .

Back then, Long Chen hadn’t understood . Only later had he learned that if the Devil Abyss’s creatures managed to charge onto the continent, the most dangerous ones weren’t the strong ones, but instead the weak ones that charged out in hordes .

The powerful ones would be quickly found by divine items and killed . However, the weaker ones were limitless, and if they charged onto the continent, it would be a cataclysmic blow .

Their numbers were too great . Even if only one slipped through the net, they could destroy a whole city . So even though the Corrupt path was enemies with the Righteous path, they would come in to kill the powerful devil creatures . It was a compet.i.tion of morale . It was a mark of their future reputation and prestige, and that was very important to any large power .

Leng Yueyan was second, with over nineteen billion kill points as well . She was right on Dong Mingyu’s tail . However, their kill points were crazily rising with every second, showing how quickly they were killing the Golden Claw Blood Devils .

“Monstrous, absolutely monstrous! What am I supposed to do?” Guo Ran was enraged . He had thought that he was competing for first place, only to find out he had been completely trampled .
