Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 357 Machinery
The orc warriors were clearly too weak to be worth mentioning in front of Ji Fuyou.

Let alone the Blazing Sun Sword Technique, even the Dragon Pattern Flying Sword could easily kill them.

However, the orc warrior transformed from the Holy Realm race not only activated his life force field and withstood Ji Fuyou's attack with the Blazing Sun Sword Technique, but his life force field was not completely broken.

This power...

He has already surpassed any martial saint on Crimson Star.

Seventh level!

A genuine Tier 7 combat power!

The orc warrior who blocked the attack was also shaken violently and was not in good condition.

"Mr. Ji..."

He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but Ji Fuyou's attack followed immediately.

Accompanying this was his voice: "If you want to cooperate with me, you'll have to see if you have the ability."

This time, he did not use the Blazing Sun Sword Technique, but instead used the Crescent Moon Blade Qi combined with the Innate Armor-Piercing Sword Qi.

Seeing this, the orc general breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Since Mr. Ji wants to understand the true strength of our Holy Realm civilization, then we will certainly demonstrate it to Mr. Ji in detail."

As he spoke, he ordered the other members of the Holy Realm who had surrounded him: "You all step back!"

"Below the Great Sage of the Holy Realm Civilization, the strongest are no more than eight commanders, and even the three commanders working together could not stop me. What ability do you, a mere captain, have?"

"Mr. Ji has underestimated the profound heritage of our Holy Realm civilization."

The orc general said directly, "Besides the eight commanders, our Holy Realm civilization also has sixty archers and thirty warriors. That is, there are thirty warriors like me with strong physiques who maintain the seventh-level combat power. But compared to us, the true trump card of our Holy Realm civilization lies in the sixty archers. These archers are all transformed from demons."

"Demon tribe?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Fuyou scoffed, "The Maya are the Maya, why talk about demons?"

The orc general's expression changed slightly.

Obviously, they didn't expect Ji Fuyou to even know this.

After a moment, he said, "Each ethnic group has different names for other ethnic groups. Perhaps that ethnic group is called the Maya by the civilization to which Mr. Ji belongs, but our civilization calls them the Demons."

He quickly changed his tune after a brief explanation: "But that's not the point. The point is that the demon race has extremely strong potential. After our Holy Realm race completes its transformation, every archer will have the strength to easily kill a sixth-tier cultivator and pose a deadly threat to a seventh-tier cultivator!"

His expression carried a hint of arrogance: "The arrow formations formed by these archers will instantly kill anyone below the ninth rank; no one can escape."

"I do not believe!"

Ji Fuyou calmly rejected all his boasting.

"At least, I have seen the strength of your commanders and generals. They may have some skills, but they are far from enough to pose a fatal threat to me."

After saying that, he immediately accelerated his offensive, which greatly increased the pressure on the orc warrior.

"Just like now, if that's all you've got, you'll be defeated by my blade soon."

"Mr. Ji, we are truly sincere!"

The orc warrior wielded his battle axe, struggling to defend himself.

but……

But he didn't launch any stronger offensive.

Clearly, this has reached the limit of their strength.

Seventh level.

It's not even as good as the living statue of the Mayan patriarch in the original Mayan temple.

"Sincerity alone is far from enough; only strength can ensure normal cooperation between the two parties."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, his battle blade swept across, and the burst of energy directly cleaved away the orc general's battle axe. At the same time, he said, "Come at me all at once. At least prove to me that you can pose some threat to me with your numbers."

The other orc warriors and demonic creatures exchanged glances.

They knew very well that the three commanders' failed attack on Ji Fuyou was a test by the Holy Realm's people to probe the Crimson Star Civilization, and now...

Their attack on Ji Fuyou was tantamount to demonstrating their power to the Red Star civilization.

If they are brave and powerful enough to make the Crimson Star civilization wary, then there might actually be a possibility of cooperation between the two sides.

However, if they fail to perform satisfactorily, the Holy Realm Civilization will inevitably become prey in the eyes of the Crimson Star Civilization.

Even if we can't hunt them now, as their strength continues to increase, there will eventually be a day when they will be hunted down.

Therefore, they are now fighting for the future of the Holy Realm civilization.

With this in mind, the orc warriors and demons, all at the sixth and seventh rank, launched a fierce attack, displaying their full strength and demonstrating the power of the Holy Realm's people to the fullest extent.

The battle lasted for a full half hour.

Despite their superior physical strength and vitality, these members of the Holy Realm were ultimately unable to defeat Ji Fuyou.

Instead, after Ji Fuyou figured out all their attack methods, he seized the opportunity and severely injured them one by one.

but……

Seemingly genuinely harboring thoughts of "cooperation," Ji Fuyou spared the lives of these orc generals and demonized creatures instead of killing them all. However, the sarcasm in his words was unavoidable: "That's it? Three generals, leading three squads, defeated by me with some effort. At this rate, if I grow stronger for another year or two, raising my cultivation to a higher level, what can you do even if you have thirty generals and thirty squads?"

The defeated members of the Holy Realm blushed with shame.

One of the orc warriors, seemingly unable to bear the humiliation, shouted: "Our strength represents only one percent of the Holy Realm's power. Defeating us is nothing. Do you dare to try our Holy Realm's arrow formation?! If you can break through our Holy Realm's arrow formation, our Holy Realm will follow Mr. Ji's lead from this day forward!"

"An arrow formation? Why not?"

Ji Fuyou said proudly.

"You really dare!?"

"Of course, go and summon the archers of your Holy Realm race, set up the arrow formation, and I'll break through to show you."

Ji Fuyou also seemed to swell up.

"How can setting up an arrow array on the outside demonstrate the true power of an arrow array? Do you dare to come with us to our holy city? We will arrange a team of ten men to intercept you on the city wall. If you can successfully climb the city wall under their arrow array, we, the people of the Holy Realm, will admit defeat."

"That's what the orc general shouted."

Ji Fuyou looked at him.

He vaguely sensed that these orc warriors looked humiliated and resentful, as if they had been provoked, but in reality, they clearly had other schemes.

This kind of calculation...

This stems from their absolute strength in archery formations.

In fact, it is true.

The orc general who spoke had a flushed face, looking unwilling to accept defeat, but deep down he was extremely calm.

For them, cooperation is a choice made out of necessity.

The best outcome would be to bring the Red Star civilization under their control.

The leader of the Crimson Star Civilization, Ji Fuyou, has displayed power beyond their imagination. In order to prevent the Crimson Star Civilization from getting out of control, they naturally have to find a way to kill him.

The joint operation by the three commanders to kill him has ended in failure, and the leader of the Crimson Star Civilization has demonstrated his formidable strength.

But if we could use reverse psychology to provoke him into going to the Holy City...

Ah……

Once they reach the Holy City, who will waste time competing with him?

With sixty archers swarming out, their arrows covering the ground, no matter how strong Ji Fuyou was, even if he was only comparable to the eighth rank, or even if his strength was infinitely close to the ninth rank of the Heavenly Realm, he would only face certain death.

While pondering, the orc general spoke again, acting impulsively: "What, as the strongest and leader of the Crimson Star Civilization, you're not afraid, are you? Those archers aren't even the strongest of my Holy Realm Clan, and their status is only equivalent to our generals. Are you afraid of facing them, Mr. Ji? How can you see the true strength of my Holy Realm Clan then?"

Ji Fuyou looked at the general and vaguely guessed what was going on in his heart.

He immediately said, "Why wouldn't we dare? Let them come over, and we'll have a contest to see who's better."

“Those archers are the elite of our Holy Realm clan and cannot leave the Holy City easily. Why don’t you come to our Holy City, Mr. Ji? On the one hand, you can verify the strength of the Holy City archers, and on the other hand, you can experience the customs and culture of our Holy Realm clan, so as to lay the foundation for future cooperation between our two sides.”

"so……"

Ji Fuyou focused his attention on the general, sensing every change in his emotions: "Those archers are not allowed to leave the city of your Holy Realm Clan?"

Upon hearing this question, the orc general's emotions visibly paused for a moment.

But he quickly regained his composure: "It's just that all the archers hold important positions and cannot leave easily."

After saying that, he immediately changed the subject: "I sincerely invite Mr. Ji to visit my holy city. I wonder if Mr. Ji would be willing to go?"

“Of course, but you are too slow. I will go there myself and we will meet in the Holy City.”

After Ji Fuyou finished speaking, he leaped away and left the area.

Although he didn't know why these archers couldn't leave the city built by the Holy Realm people, knowing this made things much easier.

"Mr. Ji..."

Seeing Ji Fuyou turn to leave, the orc general immediately opened his mouth, wanting to call out.

Unfortunately, Ji Fuyou's figure did not stop at all and quickly disappeared from his sight.

This scene made the general's expression turn ugly. He immediately said to the person beside him, "This Ji Fuyou harbors deep malice towards our Holy Realm Clan. He is trying every means to find out the details of our Holy Realm Clan. It is clear that he has ulterior motives. Even if we cooperate, it is probably just a delaying tactic. I will speak to the commanders and sages. Even if it costs us a certain amount, we must put this boy to death."

"It's difficult. Unless we can set a perfect trap, trying to keep him here is nothing short of a pipe dream."

Another general said.

"A flawless trap..."

The general squinted, a thought forming in his mind: "He is deeply wary of us, always on high alert. Setting a trap for him would be difficult... but..."

He then changed the subject: "It's not certain that the other two races of Red Star will step forward."

The other two generals immediately understood what he meant: "You mean..."

"good."

The general nodded: "I'll go and report to Commander Chi Yao right away!"
