Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 285 Counting
"Ji Fuyou! Since you won't give me a way out, then let's die together!"

Faced with this sword strike that was powerful enough to break all laws, the Sun King let out a long, angry roar filled with resentment.

The next moment, his aura surged, and the battle blade in his hand, enhanced by the blade energy, transformed into a three-meter-long giant blade, fiercely countering Ji Fuyou's blazing sword!

Three dragons roar!
"Oh!"

The nearly ten-meter-wide void where the swords clashed seemed to be scorched and lit up by raging fire!
The collision of flames and blade energy unleashed a roar even more powerful than the clash of life force fields between the floating creatures and the King of Equality!
The ground within a radius of several meters cracked and sank instantly!
However, when Ji Fuyou's Blazing Sun Sword Technique clashed with the Sun King's blade, it was discovered that the three-meter-long giant blade, which was almost entirely formed from blade energy, did not neutralize the force of the impact.

After the giant sword's blade energy was shattered, it split into three parts, which, as if alive, slashed down towards Ji Fuyou's body.

It looks like...

Like a crescent moon's blade-like aura.

However, these three descending sword energies seemed to contain the extraordinary penetrating power of innate armor-piercing sword energy. With each impact, they caused Ji Fuyou's life force field to violently tremble.

The third blade aura, in particular, took advantage of the fact that his life force field was malfunctioning under the continuous bombardment, and directly struck his body through the life force field.

then……

It was easily blocked by the deflection field that he had already used but held back as a trump card.

This scene……

The Sun King's gaze froze.

"Deflect...deflect the force field?"

Ji Fuyou, on the other hand, let out a heartfelt exclamation of amazement.

"Incredible! It almost broke through my defenses!"

"Boom!"

Lightning flashed through the air!

Just as the two had almost exchanged blows, violently shaking each other's life force field and bringing it to a standstill, Fang Qiyun's assist followed closely behind.

"Crack!"

A flash of lightning.

The Sun King's body convulsed.

He stared intently at Ji Fuyou, his eyes filled with unprecedented resentment and regret.

"laugh!"

Sword energy pierced through!

The innate armor-piercing sword energy instantly pierced through the Sun King's vital heart!
Not the head, but the heart!

The Martial Saint possesses remarkable vitality, capable of unifying all his power. Ultimately, he has a core, which is the key to providing all the driving force for his life—his heart.

With his heart crushed, this Martial Saint could no longer maintain his life force field, and this ultimate trump card of a Martial Saint quickly dissipated.

However, having broken free from the shackles of the physical body, the Martial Saint still retained a certain degree of vitality even with his heart shattered.

Seeing that Ji Fuyou clearly had the ability to pierce his head with sword energy, yet still chose his heart, the Sun King seemed to realize something: "You want to subdue me? Fine! Ji Fuyou, I admit defeat! I am willing to submit..."

Ji Fuyou glanced at him with some surprise.

He still felt that the way the Sun King had risked everything and wanted to perish together with him better reflected the spirit of the Martial Saint.

However, he didn't say much, but turned to Fang Qiyun and said, "Kill him."

Fang Qiyun was taken aback at first.

Then, he immediately realized something, and his pupils contracted.

"team leader……"

"Take action now, or things may change."

Ji Fuyou urged.

Then he glanced at Yang Kaitai, Xiao Hanxue, Liu Yiren and the others.

They all understood what was going on.

The Sun King has just returned from the Heavenly City, having seized more than a dozen Lesser Heavenly Ranks, and must have already advanced to the Middle Heavenly Rank.

The Heavenly Position can devour and transfer.

If Fang Qiyun were to kill the Sun King at this moment, what would that mean?
This means that Fang Qiyun will be able to obtain this Zhongtian position.

mean……

Once she reaches a physical strength of 39.9, there is a very high probability that she will be able to ascend to the heavens and become a Martial Saint by leveraging the power of her rank.

Although they understood this, none of the three—Yang Kaitai, Liu Yiren, and Xiao Hanxue—expressed any objection.

They have already gained so much by joining Ji Fuyou's team.

They had so much so that they wouldn't have the slightest doubt about any of Ji Fuyou's arrangements.

Moreover, Fang Qiyun was one of the earliest team members to fight alongside Ji Fuyou, and the two could be described as sharing life and death in a certain sense.

In this situation, why shouldn't the most valuable and prestigious position, representing the opportunity to become a Martial Saint, fall into Fang Qiyun's hands?

Even if Ji Fuyou were to offer them this position, they would refuse it to Fang Qiyun.

At this moment, Fang Qiyun did not act coy.

"Thank you!"

She responded with a resounding thud.

He quickly approached the Sun King with his gun.

"Ji Fuyou! How dare you humiliate me like this!? Cough cough..."

Having finally thought he had a chance to save his life, the Sun King's eyes widened as he stared intently at Ji Fuyou.

He is a dignified Martial Saint!
Dying at the hands of another Martial Saint is understandable, but being killed by a Master-level martial artist? What does that even mean?!

Unfortunately, Ji Fuyou was merely watching him, wary that he might still have the strength for a last-ditch counterattack, and as for his words...

There was absolutely no intention to respond.

This scene plunged the Sun King into utter despair: "I never imagined that I, the Sun King, who have dominated my entire life, could come and go as I pleased even in the dragon's den and tiger's lair of the capital city, would ultimately... cough cough... fall in a small town called Dragon Head... I am not reconciled..."

"laugh!"

The spear thrust down!

It pierced through the Sun King's head in an instant!
The martial saint's voice of resentment immediately fell silent.

"Unexpectedly..."

This scene deeply moved Gu Yinbing, Lin Zhongtian, and Zhang Yi. They were shocked that a martial saint had died because of it.

This also shocked Ji Fuyou, who actually gave up a precious spot for advancing to Martial Saint to an outsider named "Fang Qiyun".

This is a Martial Saint, representing the pinnacle of martial arts.

For a moment, Lin Zhongtian and Zhang Yi looked at Fang Qiyun with envy almost overflowing from their faces.

……

"how?"

Ji Fuyou looked at Fang Qiyun.

"Middle Celestial Position".

As Fang Qiyun spoke, he seemed to have thought of something: "Moreover, I can clearly feel my share, down to each and every one. If I want to advance to the Great Heavenly Rank, I will probably need to integrate 87 Lesser Heavenly Rank positions."

"87 copies?"

Ji Fuyou frowned upon hearing this.

If 87 more copies are needed, Fang Qiyun's position will only be 13 copies.

In other words, although King Pingdeng and King Taiyang went on a killing spree on Cloud Peak Mountain, only 32 members of the Heavenly Ranking actually died at their hands.

However, based on the number of people whose mental fluctuations disappeared from the Heavenly Ranking, the actual death toll reached 43...

No, they added 4 more people later, making a total of 47.

After deducting these 32 people, it is obvious how the remaining 15 people died.

It can't be that he was stabbed thirty-three times in the back and committed suicide.

Ji Fuyou didn't say anything.

He had already given these Heavenly Ranking members a reminder and made a promise before they chose to go to Tiandu City.

It's just that nobody believed him.

At that moment, he turned his gaze to the corpses of the two martial saints.

"Count the spoils."

He gave the order, and Yang Kaitai and the others immediately sprang into action.

Gu Yinbing, Lin Zhongtian, and Zhang Yi were also somewhat eager to make a move.

They knew, however, that they hadn't played a significant role in this major battle.

The key to truly defeating the two Martial Saints lies with Ji Fuyou and Fang Qiyun.

later……

Perhaps it will be Gu Yinbing's turn.

However, Gu Yinbing looked at the Wuji Sword in her hand, which was clearly cracked, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

This high-level divine weapon was borrowed from Ji Fuyou.

Although the damage was severe because she was trying to intercept two foreign martial arts masters, she still felt unsure how to bring it up with Ji Fuyou.

She remained completely silent throughout the process of counting the spoils.

Guilty.

As martial saints, the Sun King and the King of Equality must possess quite a few valuable items.

The Sun King's battle sword was forged from Cold Moon Mystic Crystal, and it was on par with Ji Fuyou's battle sword.

In addition, they also found a gem on this martial saint.

After examining it closely, Yang Kaitai immediately said, "This should be the Sun King's Ghost Jade."

The intelligence agencies of almost every country have some knowledge of the divine weapons and treasures possessed by each martial saint.

Unless these martial saints have never used these treasures and divine weapons, it would be difficult to hide them from national intelligence agencies.

"This precious jade contains a peculiar power that can make people more perceptive and move more gracefully, which is basically equivalent to increasing the sensitivity value by 5 points."

As Yang Kaitai spoke, he turned his gaze to King Pingdeng.

The golden wheel in King Pingdeng's hand was no less impressive; it was crafted from fine bronze.

Before changing his weapon, Martial Venerable Zuo Chunqiu used a heavy hammer made of refined bronze, which had an extremely explosive power.

The maximum damage is 27 points.

Of course, like the Judgment Iron, Copper Essence, despite its name, is extremely heavy and can affect the user's dexterity.

However, in terms of value, it is no less than the battle blades and swords forged from Cold Moon Mystic Crystal.

also……

They also found a snow-silver ring on him.

“I’ve heard of this material called Snow Silver.”

Fang Qiyun said, "Although it is not like the Heavenly Jewels and Gems, which can directly increase the spirit by 5 units, it still increases the spirit by 4 units. As a price, long-term holders will become extremely calm and rational."

"Calm and rational? Shouldn't that be a strength?"

"I asked curiously."

"For some people it is an advantage, but in reality, this change is more negative than positive. Over time, users' emotions will become increasingly detached, which means they will lose their passion."

Fang Qiyun said, "Many times, humans are able to break through their limits again and again because of their fighting spirit. Once they lose their fighting spirit and maintain absolute calmness, they will slowly lose the space to rise."

Xiao Hanxue, who was standing to the side, asked curiously, "What would happen if I wore this ring, wielded the Purgatory Battle Axe, and used the Berserker Technique?"

"After wearing this ring, you will no longer be able to use the Berserker Technique. You will never be able to enter the blood-boiling state of the Berserker Technique."

Fang Qiyun explained, "In addition, secret techniques such as divine magic and divine martial arts will no longer be effective on you. Your rationality will make you reject any external power."

"Huh? Then I don't want it, I absolutely don't want it."

Xiao Hanxue quickly waved her hand.

"No wonder King Pingdeng didn't seem to be too affected by the Eight Fiends Soul-Locking Technique; it must be because of this ring."

Yang Kaitai said thoughtfully.

The others nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Ji Fuyou also spoke up: "Alright, the spoils have been counted. Now, let's distribute the spoils according to everyone's contributions."
