Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 290 Winning over
11 people.

Guaranteed at least one Zhongtian position.

Right now……

An opportunity to advance to the Martial Saint realm.

This temptation is enough to make any power, including the Martial Saint, envious.

In the entire Federation today, besides the four major factions to which the speakers belong, the only ones who can protect them are Dragon Head Town, led by Ji Fuyou.

Ji Fuyou knew very well that if he decided to protect these 11 people, even with his record of killing three Martial Saints, it would inevitably attract the attention of others.

Just as there were more than a handful of martial saints entrenched in Tiandu City at that time, King Pingdeng and King Taiyang still infiltrated it and hunted down 32 of them.

After all, dealing with this powerful Martial Saint is one thing.

Dealing with the 11 members of the Heavenly Rankings whom he protected was another matter entirely.

but……

Upon hearing Yang Kaitai's words, Ji Fuyou barely hesitated before ordering, "Since they trust me... let them come! If needed, I can go and meet them!"

"Yes!"

Yang Kaitai immediately agreed.

"Go and make preparations, and strengthen surveillance of Longshou Town."

Ji Fuyou turned to Fang Qiyun.

"Captain, what are your plans for these 11 people? The extraordinary abilities of those at the Heavenly Rank are no secret to the top powers. Unless you stay by their side at all times, those who are watching will always find an opportunity..."

Fang Qiyun did not stop Ji Fuyou from making this decision, but still expressed her concerns.

"The federal government will publicize my killing of the Sun King and the Equal King, two great martial saints. Martial saints... in any force or faction, they are pillars of strength. The slightest mistake could lead to the complete downfall of their faction."

Ji Fuyou calmly said, "The reason why the Second Speaker's faction was suppressed to the point of being unable to breathe by the President, the Third Speaker, and the Fourth Speaker is because they did not keep up with the pace of the extraordinary era in time. As a result, while other forces had Martial Saints, they did not have any, and eventually they were on the verge of falling behind. If Luo Siming had not completed his breakthrough not long ago, the Second Speaker's faction would have been almost excluded from the Supreme Hall."

"You mean..."

Fang Qiyun quickly understood what was going on.

Ji Fuyou nodded: "To date, I have killed three Martial Saints. I think they can all guess that we have the means to kill a Martial Saint head-on! For 11 Heavenly Ranks, who would dare to risk offending me and causing the death of their Martial Saint to make a move to assassinate Luo Suyu, Lei Yue and his group?"

Fang Qiyun thought of the power of Ji Fuyou's Blazing Sun Sword Technique...

This sword strike, when it hit head-on, actually caused the Martial Saint's life force field to freeze!
It's unimaginable how powerful such a strike could be!

The life force field is the Martial Saint's greatest source of confidence.

Faced with a powerful being whose life force field is stagnant, any martial saint would tremble with fear.

"Therefore, I estimate that even if someone or some powerful force is eyeing the potential to synthesize the Middle Heaven Rank on those 11 people, it would at most be a Grandmaster-level martial artist! That kind of... risking their lives, like a desperate gambler, a martial arts master who wants to take a chance."

Ji Fuyou said, "If we improve the strength of these 11 people, they might be able to handle this kind of martial artist on their own."

Fang Qiyun listened and nodded.

Among those 11 people, Shi Guanxing himself was a master-level martial artist.

Although he is a newly promoted master with limited foundation, he must have mastered more than one high-level skill by virtue of his status.

The remaining 10 people, such as Luo Suyu and Lei Yue, were not weak either.

With 11 people working together, it wouldn't be easy for a top master like Wu Rendi, who is only half a step away from becoming a martial saint, to take them down in a short time.

"In addition, I actually have arrangements for them."

Ji Fuyou glanced at Fang Qiyun: "Your individual strength is not weak even among master-level martial artists. It would be a waste of your talents to have you spend so long hunting corpse demons in the Ten Thousand Snake Valley mining area, but the eleven of them are just right."

"them?"

Fang Qiyun understood Ji Fuyou's meaning: "On the one hand, let them hunt corpse demons to obtain inheritance crystals and improve their strength; on the other hand, by staying in the mist, it will become increasingly difficult for others to track their whereabouts."

After saying that, she seemed to think of something and added, "Moreover, we have our own Celestial Horns, and we can communicate through the horns to learn about their latest movements. When they are in danger, the captain can go to their aid immediately."

"good."

Ji Fuyou nodded slightly.

"In this way, their safety is truly guaranteed."

Fang Qiyun breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"But necessary preparations are still indispensable."

Ji Fuyou offered a reminder.

Fang Qiyun nodded cautiously and quickly went about her business.

And Ji Fuyou...

He returned to his room and took out the Ink Dragon Blade.

"The power of the Blazing Sun Sword Technique is even more terrifying than I imagined. The key is... its terrifying explosive force can cause the life force field to stagnate."

Ji Fuyou Road.

A sluggish life force field is essentially equivalent to an ordinary person being suddenly struck by an overwhelmingly powerful blow, leaving them completely bewildered.

The more intense the attack, the more pronounced the effect. "In other words... the attack power must be as strong as possible."

Ji Fuyou pondered.

The Blazing Sun Sword Technique, when unleashed in its full power, seems to increase its destructive force by a full 2.6 times!
His physical strength is 41.4, which translates to 41.4 points of damage. The Cold Moon Sword can deal up to 22 points of damage.

Life force can be converted into attack power, and can be amplified by up to 10% without maintaining a life force field for protection...

Do not!
As his physique improved, his vitality also increased significantly, now reaching 565 points.

After conversion into damage, it becomes 56 points!
Furthermore, a perfect-level Guardian Sword Intent can convert 50% of one's spirit value into damage, which is an additional 20 points of damage.

However, the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique is ultimately just a high-level skill. After he cultivated the Life Force Field, the attack amplification effect that it unleashed decreased, but it was definitely still 20%!
That is to say...

His strongest attack, unleashed with all his might, can deal 436 points of damage!
This damage has already reached 80% of the life force limit of a newly promoted Martial Saint.

"The Cold Moon Sword's damage is ultimately a bit lacking, 4 points less than the Ink Dragon Blade, and 8 points less than a weapon forged from Judgment Divine Iron..."

Ji Fuyou couldn't help but think of a weapon that could be forged from Judgment Divine Iron, as described in the art of weapon crafting.

Judgment Blade.

Not only does it deal 30 base damage, it also increases the conversion rate of health to attack power by 5%!
5%, based on a vitality of 565, is 28 points!
If he were to actually use this Judgment Blade to perform the Blazing Sun Sword Technique...

The final burst damage will soar to 550 points!
Its power is so great that it can instantly kill a newly promoted Martial Saint!

Even for martial saints like the Sun King and the Equal King, whose physical strength is above 42 and whose vitality exceeds 600, a single strike of the Blazing Sun Sword Technique would be enough to bring their life force field to the brink of collapse.

Then, by adding a final strike of innate armor-piercing sword energy, the final blow against these martial saints can be easily accomplished.

"The chances of replenishing the innate armor-piercing sword energy are very low. After all, the battle blade forged from the Judgment Divine Iron is very heavy. The first strike might catch the opponent off guard, but the second strike will definitely make them wary and dodge..."

Ji Fuyou shook his head.

Fang Qiyun's cooperation is also needed.

At least until the maximum burst of his Blazing Sun Sword Technique causes damage exceeding 600 points, he will still need Fang Qiyun's assistance to deal with the Martial Saint.

even……

It must be a direct confrontation.

If the opponent chooses to engage in prolonged combat, the reduced speed of his strikes due to the weight of the Judgment Blade...

His all-out Sunfire Sword Technique might not be able to land a solid hit.

Furthermore, this is still in a one-on-one situation.

If it's one against two...

When he pours all his life force into his battle blade, his own defense will also drop to its lowest point. Relying solely on the deflection field, he may not be able to withstand the attack of the Martial Saint head-on.

If the two martial saints were determined to fight him to the death, one of them would face his Blazing Sun Sword Technique with the Judgment Battle Blade without flinching, while the other...

They would fight to the death, exchanging their lives for each other...

Ultimately, they might actually be replaced by the other side.

"I have a level 7 divine beast. It's not easy for two Martial Saints to trade their lives with me, but three Martial Saints are enough to ensure absolute safety..."

Ji Fuyou's thoughts drifted.

But in the end, he still shook his head.

Facing a Martial Saint, he was fighting three against one, and each of these Martial Saints was determined to exchange their lives with him...

The probability of that is ultimately too low.

Besides, there are still a few days before the Mayan temple opens, and he hasn't even obtained the Judgment Iron yet. Thinking about these tactics now is premature.

"Speaking of which, the conversion rate of life force into attack power is only 10% at most. There must be a problem with this, which is why it is difficult for a Martial Saint to break the life force field of another Martial Saint. Unless one side is trapped by the other, as long as the other side wants to escape, even if two or three Martial Saints of the same realm surround and block them, it will be difficult to do anything to them."

Ji Fuyou pondered, "Perhaps... I should make a trip to Rainbow Sun City."

There should be orthodox cultivation methods in Rainbow Sun City.

"After the Mayan temple opens, there will be a gap of about two months. I'll go and check out Rainbow Sun City then."

Ji Fuyou made a decision.

……

While Ji Fuyou was deciding to accept 11 members of the Heavenly Ranking, and was even figuring out how to kill the Martial Saint most efficiently, the nine speakers and numerous councilors at the Supreme Hall had just finished a meeting that lasted for about four hours.

The meeting was mostly about how to use the corpses of the Sun King and the King of Equality to maximize the deterrence of surrounding forces.

Let the world know what price they will pay for daring to run wild within the Federation, especially in a political center like Tian Du.

Throughout the meeting, no matter how much everyone tried to avoid the topic, one issue that remained unavoidable was how to treat the Dragon Head Town's Martial Saint from now on.

However, after about four hours of discussion, they finally came to a conclusion.

The struggle has reached a breaking point.

Then the only option is to win them over.

In a short time, with the president's order and the approval of the eight speakers, a team led by Qi Lingyun left Tiandu City and headed straight for Longshou Town.
