C270 Battle of the Rising Dragon Pillar
C270 Battle of the Rising Dragon Pillar
As a seeded candidate of the Heaven's End Sect, Sun Qiang might not be stronger than the seeded candidates of the other sects, but he still had a chance of getting into the top 20 in the Dragon Pillar.
Despite his confidence, he didn't even have the chance to challenge the person on the Rising Dragon Pillar. As the leading elder, how could Elder Lan not be furious?
What made him even angrier was that the murderer was still Yun Fan.
Two times when he led the team, Ma Chenglong was killed in Absolute Emptiness Secret Realm and Sun Qiang was killed in Dragon Ranking War. This was no longer as simple as killing. This was a slap to his face and Heaven's End Sect's face.
His figure shot out. The rolling Genuine Qi was like a thundercloud, emitting a rumbling sound.
One strike to kill. Only in this way could he wash away the shame he had suffered in front of him.
When Elder Lan made his move, Yun Fan already knew about it.
Although his eyes were closed, the Spiritual Power had already covered the entire arena. He didn't open his eyes or move, as if Elder Lan's attack had nothing to do with him.
The more Yun Fan acted like this, the angrier Elder Lan became, and the stronger his attack became.
However, just as his fist was about to land, a gentle breeze suddenly blew across the arena.
The wind was very gentle, like a young girl's delicate hand caressing, like the sunlight that fell from the harsh winter, making people feel comfortable and willing to relax.
The powerful Genuine Qi, the ferocious attack, disappeared without a trace under this gentle wind.
Everything was like an illusion, just like how the breeze brushed away the dust on the ground, so natural.
"Go back. Since you've invited me to be the judge, I'll follow the rules of the competition. Of course, if someone willfully breaks the rules, as the referee, I'll make a move."
Yang Xu gently waved his hand. Under the dumbfounded gazes of the crowd, Elder Lan kept retreating. It was as if there was some kind of power urging him to return to the spectator stands.
Bastard, why is this old thing so strong? Even the Sect Leader is not a match for this person.
Elder Lan was shocked. He was even stronger than the Sect Chief of the Heaven's End Sect. Who was this old man?
When did the royal family make friends with such a powerful figure?
The elders of the other sects were shocked. They naturally knew the strength of Yang Xu. Although they did not know how strong he was, Elder Lan was forced to retreat by a single move. Such a powerful person was definitely not someone they could provoke.
"Alright, since there's no more objections, let's continue. The five matches ended, and the rankings were based on the number of wins and losses.
Before that, I would like to ask all of you. Do you all still need to add one more match for the same number of matches? Although the rules of the competition require an additional round, if each of you is willing, this round can naturally be canceled.
Right, let me tell you first, this additional match is not against the others, but someone who has the same number of wins."
After Yang Xu finished speaking, Ling Jing and the others shook their heads almost instantly.
The ranking was only to obtain the qualifications to challenge the Rising Dragon Pillar. The difference between the top few was not big. Those who were able to stand in the top ten of the Rising Dragon Pillar were definitely not simple characters. At this moment, if they put their lives on the line, they might not even have the qualifications to challenge the Rising Dragon Pillar in the end.
After everyone's discussion, the top few were the infatuated ones, Han Fei, Ling Jing, and Dao Ba. Yi Manyin and Ling Xinyue were behind the top ten.
Baili Wuhen had also entered the top twenty. He was ranked after the two girls, so Yun Fan naturally ranked at the bottom.
Seeing that everyone had given the result, Yang Xu nodded and said, "Alright, that's all for today. The challenge of the Rising Dragon Pillar will be held tomorrow. All of you can challenge the person on the pillar according to your ranking."
Yun Fan left the arena. The challenge of the Rising Dragon Pillar was no longer the same as before. It was the true Dragon Ranking War.
There were no gaps in the continuous challenges. One needed to be in the best condition. The reason why they rested for a day was to allow everyone to unleash their strongest combat strength.
"Yun Fan, go to my place and rest!"
Ling Xinyue's voice was gentle, and her eyes revealed a look of eagerness. A faint fragrance passed by, making Yun Fan a little absent-minded.
It was very beautiful. This kind of beauty that carried a noble temperament could not be described with words at such a close distance.
Such a beauty, her words seemed to carry a kind of magic that could not be rejected.
"Go, I haven't entered the palace yet!"
When Yi Manyin opened her mouth, it was as if it melted people. The more restrained one's smile became, the more enchanting it became. The charm had already merged into her entire body, and every frown and smile could make people fall for her.
Nangong Waner stood by the side and looked at the two of them. In a moment, she lowered her head in shame.
She was also a beauty, but no matter if it was her appearance or aura, she could not be compared to the two of them.
"Young Master..."
Yun Fan reached out his hand and interrupted Nangong Waner's words. He knew what the girls meant.
After killing Sun Qiang, the Heaven's End Sect would never let this matter rest. The royal family was only responsible for the safety of the Dragon Ranking War. What happened during other times had nothing to do with the royal family.
If they entered the palace, the Heaven's End Sect would not even have the chance to make a move.
"Forget it, I'll just stay here! As long as I'm here, I'll be safe."
Looking at the gradually dispersing crowd, Yun Fan stepped onto the arena, closed his eyes, and began cultivating.
He didn't want to reject the good intentions of the two girls, but he didn't want to owe the royal family a favor. More importantly, facing the two girls, he really couldn't meditate and cultivate.
"Coward!"
Ling Xinyue and Yi Manyin spoke at the same time. They looked at each other and could not help but smile.
The next morning, the noise interrupted Yun Fan's cultivation. After a day of competition, it was much smoother to enter the arena again.
Before the competition even started, the top twenty of Dragon Ranking War had already walked onto the arena. According to the ranking, each of them stood in front of the corresponding Rising Dragon Pillar.
Ling Wu walked forward, and the sounds of discussion immediately stopped.
"I won't talk about the rules anymore. There are only wins and losses in Dragon Ranking War, and there are no rules. Activate the Rising Dragon Platform and start the challenge!"
The fifty Rising Dragon Pillars glowed brightly. A layer of stone cloud extended from each pillar. A small arena was formed around the Rising Dragon Pillars. A stone cloud floated in the middle of the adjacent arena, forming a path with the fifty Rising Dragon Pillars that rose higher and higher.
At the same time, each Rising Dragon Pillar extended a Stone Stair path, connecting with the arena in the middle.
"Choose your opponent, get on the stage!"
Twenty people stepped on the Stone Stair, each climbing onto the corresponding Rising Dragon Pillar. When the last person stepped on the Rising Dragon Pillar, all the paths of the Stone Stair disappeared, causing everyone's eyes to fall on the Rising Dragon Pillar where the two of them stood.
The moment the Stone Stair paths disappeared, a few of the Rising Dragon Pillars had already started fighting.
"Your strength is not bad, but the overall strength of Dragon Ranking War this year is not enough, so you should just go down!" On the 50th Rising Dragon Pillar, a youth with a gloomy expression said coldly.
Initially, he thought that Yun Fan would go down on his own accord, but he didn't expect Yun Fan to ignore him and look at the other Rising Dragon Pillars.
"You're still in a state of disloyalty after going up the Rising Dragon Pillar. I think you're courting death!"
