Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 159 Disappearance
All eyes were on Ji Fuyou.

The innate armor-piercing sword energy can break through the protective force field of the Fertile Sect Master.

The Overlord's true form is immune to the paralyzing effect contained in the lightning strikes of monsters.

It also possesses formidable combat power comparable to Xiao Jiuge and Fengyulou.

The person in charge of this decisive blow was none other than Ji Fuyou.

Fengyulou even sighed, "Luckily, Qilin, you brought Ji Fuyou over. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do against this monster! Once he used his paralysis effect, people like me and Xiao Jiuge who can only fight in close combat would be basically useless. Even Xiao Bing's Limitless Sword Intent couldn't break through the power of Fengwo Sect Master's lightning."

As for He Qilin...

His abilities lean towards support.

In terms of killing and warfare, they are even less capable.

Xiao Jiuge and the others nodded in deep agreement with Fengyulou's words.

"I also feel very fortunate."

As He Qilin spoke, he turned his gaze to Ji Fuyou: "To ensure everything goes smoothly, I will add Divine Arts and Divine Martial Arts to your body! Divine Arts will make you more resolute and undisturbed by external influences, while Divine Martial Arts is a kind of inherited secret technique that can temporarily 'lend' you the martial arts experience I have mastered through divine sense, greatly improving your martial arts skills!"

He paused for a moment, then continued, “My personal martial arts skills are naturally inferior to those of masters like Uncle Feng and Uncle Xiao, who have fought countless life-and-death battles. However, when I was learning this secret refining technique, I actively consulted a large number of martial arts classics and accumulated a wealth of theoretical knowledge, which I hope will be of some help to you.”

"Martial arts skills?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Fuyou's eyes lit up.

Although he had mastered the Gang Jin (罡劲), his martial arts skills were clearly inferior to those of a true master-level martial artist.

If he can make up for it with divine martial arts, he can better unleash the power of his innate armor-piercing sword energy, which, roughly speaking, is equivalent to increasing his combat power by 10% or 20%.

"The Divine Martial Arts is indeed very good. If it weren't for the high requirements on the user's 'knowledge' and the fact that it is a temporary secret technique, this skill would probably be considered a top-tier skill."

Xiao Jiuge, standing to the side, offered a fair assessment.

"Spiritual connection".

He Qilin said something.

Instantly, a divine sense carrying information was projected onto Ji Fuyou.

As Ji Fuyou digested the information with his divine sense, dozens of powerful and exquisite sword techniques, along with the profound application of Dan Jin and Gang Jin, surged into his mind.

In particular, the way these sword techniques, internal energy, and even secret arts are used doesn't feel like something you've just encountered; instead, it has a familiar feel of being honed through countless trials.

It's like someone who has already learned to ride a bicycle; even if they don't touch a bicycle for several or even more than ten years, they can naturally ride it again when they want to.

While the others were setting up their tactics, the Fiery Lord, who had distanced himself, quickly activated his healing power, restoring half of his face to its original state.

His eyes flashed with a cold, eerie light as he stared intently at Ji Fuyou.

This monster, who had always appeared calm and rational, seemed to have developed an emotion called "hatred" towards him.

He waved his hand sharply, and the remaining fire monsters charged towards the group's formation.

"Prepare!"

He Qilin said in a deep voice.

Sensing the spiritual fluctuations of the Flourishing Lord, he said, "Captain Ji, this monster is waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on you. Don't rush. Let's clear out some fire monsters first. When the Flourishing Lord really makes his move, you can create an opening to lure him into attacking and carry out our plan."

Ji Fuyou nodded slightly.

At that moment, the group maintained their battle formation, blocking all paths as they repelled the fire monster's onslaught.

Seeing that several fire monsters were quickly killed by the group through their cooperation, the Flourishing Lord, who had been waiting for an opportunity, could no longer wait any longer.

Seeing this, He Qilin gave Ji Fuyou a look.

Ji Fuyou unleashed a seemingly extreme burst of power at the opportune moment, slaying a fire monster.

Just as he displayed this extreme and dangerous radical stance, the cult leader of Fengwo moved instantly.

His terrifying speed and agility were displayed to the fullest.

Almost instantly, they joined the battle and charged towards Ji Fuyou's location.

No lightning was used.

But the sharp claws on his hands still possess the power to crush metal and break iron.

However, almost at the same moment that the Fengwo Sect Leader arrived, Fengyulou and Xiao Jiuge, who had been waiting for this moment, attacked simultaneously. With the amplification of their Burst Qi Technique and Berserk Battle Technique, their swords and sabers intertwined into a dense net of qi, completely blocking the angles from which the monster could pounce.

However, the leader of Fengwo himself possesses astonishing combat experience and martial arts skills.

He immediately spotted the flaw in Xiao Jiuge's sword.

After the master-level martial artist's divine weapon was shattered by the Fiery Lord, he is now only using an ordinary weapon.

Such weapons snapped instantly under the claws of the Fiery Cult Leader.

Immediately afterwards, the cult leader of Fengwo swung his claws, and a terrifying ball of electricity compressed around him and exploded in the next second!
The violent shockwave, mixed with lightning, instantly blasted Xiao Jiuge, Feng Yulou, and Ji Fuyou, who were flying backward, away.

Especially Feng Yulou and Xiao Jiuge, when they were blasted away, felt their whole bodies go numb and they couldn't move at all.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the fertile leader strode forward, even abandoning Ji Fuyou, and its sharp claws fiercely tore at Xiao Jiuge's body as he flew backward.

A bird in the hand is worth more than ten birds in the bush!
The Fiery Lord displayed a decisiveness that was in no way inferior to that of a human!

But at that moment, something like lime was thrown out and enveloped the Fiery Cult Leader.

The cult leader immediately waved his hand, trying to disperse these things, but when he came into contact with the dust, he clearly felt that these things were strange.

Part of it interfered with his blood circulation, while another part, like sulfuric acid, seemed to be corroding his body. Especially since these things did not contain any internal energy, his protective force field instincts failed to react or resist them.

"Roar!"

The leader of the Fonwo Church was enraged on the spot.

Just as Ji Fuyou had said earlier, the monster's gaze turned directly to Liu Yiren, who was casting these toxins.

He moved with incredible speed, appearing behind Liu Yiren with his claws raised high...

"call out!"

Sword intent bursts out!

A sharp edge, piercing straight through, seemed to penetrate the very soul!

The sword control technique, imbued with the Limitless Sword Intent, seemed to possess the sharpness to destroy protective force fields, piercing straight towards the head of the Fertile Sect Master.

Under the threat of death emanating from both body and soul, even though the monster wished it could tear Liu Yiren apart, who was almost within reach, it still had to shift its target and fiercely grab at the silver sword.

"boom!"

Sparks flew!

The moment the Fiery Lord grasped the Silver Light Sword, sparks flew out like metal clashing.

If you look closely, you can even clearly see three scratches several centimeters long on the silver sword.

This shows just how sharp the claws of the Fertile Cult Leader are!

At the critical moment, the leader of Fengwo grabbed the Silver Light Sword, but the boundless sword intent on the Silver Light Sword, which almost pierced his soul, also disturbed and affected his spirit.

The next moment, the monster suddenly felt as if it were falling into an abyss. Every bone, every muscle, and every cell in its body was as if it were bound by chains, which locked it up and suppressed it.

He was completely unable to move an inch!

At the same time, he was horrified to discover that the human who had been blasted away earlier and posed the greatest threat to him was now rushing towards him.

In the instant he was unable to move an inch, his entire body burst forth like a cannonball, piercing the air with a sword intent as firm as a rock, raising his greatsword high and thrusting it straight at his head.

The innate armor-piercing sword energy had already begun to cut through his protective force field, attempting to completely tear apart his defenses and expose his body to the giant sword capable of shattering everything.

"Roar!"

At the critical moment of life and death, the fertile leader roared angrily, his physique and spirit soaring to their peak, and he actually broke free from the suppression of the demon-suppressing curse.

As He Qilin's face turned deathly pale and he nearly fainted on the spot, the monster roared, leaped away, and fled.

but……

As he lunged backward with all his might, trying to unleash his full power to escape Ji Fuyou's attack range, the poison took effect.

He clearly felt the weakness in his body, the lack of power in his burst of energy, and the fact that his backward leap hadn't achieved the expected safe distance...

The next second, the human who had merged with the sword and attacked him suddenly erupted again, taking a step forward and charging towards him.

The greatsword in his hand pierced through his exposed chest as he leaped backward.

……

"break!"

The innate armor-piercing sword energy erupts in full force!

The moment the protective aura of the Fertile Sect Master shattered, it all penetrated into his body.

The violent energy instantly blasted a bloody hole, probably a foot in diameter, into the monster's chest.

The heart and vital organs inside were completely shattered.

"Roar!"

Unparalleled lightning erupted from the Fertile Lord, like the monster's final, desperate attack.

However, Ji Fuyou, who had unleashed his true form as the Overlord, ignored the thunderous attack. As his giant sword pierced through the body of the Fengwo Sect Master, his overwhelming force also slammed into the monster's chest, which had been ripped open, sending his half-ton body flying.

Taking advantage of the shockwave from the impact of Hengxing Tianxia's collision, and the emptiness in the chest of the shattered Fengwo Sect Master consuming his power, Ji Fuyou stepped forward again.

Pursue!

Under the horrified gaze of the cult leader, Ji Fuyou raised the Dragon Blood Sword high and slashed down fiercely at his flying figure with a decapitation-like sword strike.

"die!"

The intense friction between the sword and the air created a dazzling white shockwave.

It seemed that the fertile cult leader would be beheaded with a single sword strike at any moment!
however……

Just as Ji Fuyou's Dragon Blood Sword was about to slay the monster and complete the trial, the Flourishing Sect Master...

Disappeared!
There are no signs.

There wasn't even any terrifying power activated!
Right before his eyes, under his sword, in front of everyone, it vanished.

"call out!"

The Dragon Blood Sword, propelled by its momentum, slashed down with undiminished force, crashing into the ground. The terrifying force caused the floor to crack open, leaving a gruesome sword mark.

Stone chips flew everywhere.
