The devil sword extended from her palm to her fingers. Lu Xuejia's fingers held onto the devil sword and in the next instant, she stabbed out with her finger. In an instant, Qin Wentian felt a sense of suffocation. A sword descended from the void, directly entering his sea of consciousness. That devil sword seemed to still be in Lu Xuejia's hand, but it had already arrived before him.
"Careful!" Juyu moved at the same instant Lu Xuejia stretched out her finger. A devil shield glowed with a dark light, akin to an indestructible armor of the Devil Gate, protecting Qin Wentian.
"Kacha!"
That powerful devil shield instantly shattered into pieces. That surge of sword intent didn't vanish, it continued on its way towards Qin Wentian.
At this moment, ancient characters appeared before Qin Wentian. These ancient characters gathered together, forming a palm imprint that blocked in front of him. The sword intent gushed forth as terrifying hissing sounds rang out. Lu Xuejia stepped out, her devil might grew even stronger. Her sword penetrated through, aiming for Qin Wentian's head.
The Shadow of the Divine Turtle enveloped Qin Wentian, but the sword might still penetrated through it. That sword might was simply too fast, Qin Wentian could only raise his arms to block. When the sword intent slammed into Qin Wentian's arm, its might was already greatly weakened. When it slammed into Qin Wentian's arm, Qin Wentian's arm glowed with a strange light. After which, the sword might lacerated a bloody wound on his arm before dissipating.
"For experts who can control a trace of immortal-king might, even if they aren't geniuses at the very peak, their attacks can't be underestimated." Qin Wentian silently mused. This attack of Lu Xuejia was extremely terrifying. The power contained within it was sufficient to kill ordinary peak-level immortal-foundation experts.
Releasing his arm, Qin Wentian's eyes turned even more terrifying. At this moment, he started to treat this battle seriously.
However, Lu Xuejia furrowed her brows. Her powerful attack was a sure-kill sword, but it actually failed to take Qin Wentian's life. This made her very surprised.
Although she was surprised, Lu Xuejia was a demon general who had been through hundreds of battles. Her entire body seemed to be wrapped in a lotus of swords, and when her palm struck out again, numerous lotus flowers formed by the devil swords bloomed, wanting to shroud everyone within it and kill them.
At this moment, the entire battlefield was filled with Lotus Demon Swords, and even Lu Xuejia's figure could not be seen.
"I'll shatter her attack, and you'll deal the killing blow." Qin Wentian spoke to Juyu. The other protector didn't even have the strength to retaliate under Lu Xuejia's attacks. Under the absolute suppression of strength, it was useless to rely on numbers, unless the protectors had sufficient strength.
Although Juyu was puzzled by Qin Wentian's confidence, since he had spoken, she had already made her preparations.
Qin Wentian stepped out. His flawless immortal-foundation radiated boundless immortal light that enveloped him. The ancient halberd in his hands contained a destructive might that could penetrate through everything. He stepped out and unleashed a strike from the God's Hand. The halberd was like a dragon, sweeping everything in its path. With this strike, dragon roars filled the air as numerous black devil dragons of destruction descended into the world.
"ROAR!" The dragon roars shook the heavens. The destructive demonic dragons glowed with ancient runes, shattering everything. They followed the ancient halberd and blasted towards Lu Xuejia.
Lu Xuejia's expression instantly turned unsightly. The towering might contained within this strike actually caused her to feel an intense threat. From below, Lu Xuejia's body manifested a beam of black sword light, transforming into a gigantic sword that penetrated through everything, aiming for the devil dragons.
Thunderous rumbling sounds rang out as both the sword and the demonic dragons trembled. Lu Xuejia pointed her finger at the demonic dragons in the air, wanting to destroy them.
But at this moment, Juyu who was also a devil general arrived. Her palm blasted out towards Lu Xuejia as a gigantic devil shield blasted out, crushing everything.
Lu Xuejia paled. She shouted loudly, "I concede!"
As the sound of her voice faded, the shield still slammed into her. Although Lu Xuejia used the devil sword to protect herself, she was still heavily injured as she coughed out mouthfuls of blood.
Her aura was dispirited and her countenance was pale. She inclined her head and stared at Qin Wentian and Juyu. These two joined forces and actually managed to injure her.
She, Lu Xuejia, initially wanted to improve further in this devil ranking battle. Who would have thought that she would be stuck at the rank of # 14 instead.
Qin Wentian stared at Lu Xuejia with a calm gaze. He then spoke to Juyu who was beside him, "Let's return."
Juyu nodded lightly as the two of them turned and departed.
Lu Xuejia stared at the back view of Qin Wentian as she coldly spoke, "If it wasn't for the two of you joining forces, I would have definitely killed you."
"I've said it before. From the moment you cowered and chose to switch your protector, you have already lost." Qin Wentian didn't turn his head and spoke in a low voice. Lu Xuejia's heart was filled with reluctance.
"Even now, I still firmly believe in my choice." Lu Xuejia knew what sort of character the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan was. Although she was defeated, she wouldn't regret her decision to give up on Qin Wentian. Her heart wouldn't waver because of this.
Walking to her current position, she had experienced too much and suffered too many defeats. As long as she was still alive, everything could be reborn. This was the conviction of experts on the devil path.
The spectators stared at the two of them in bewilderment. Qin Wentian's strength was actually strong enough to contend against Qin Wentian. In that case, with his protector, it wouldn't be an easy thing to eliminate Juyu.
If they wanted to force Juyu to fight, they first had to defeat her protector.
Huang Hanling wasn't too surprised when he saw this scene. If Qin Wentian was too weak, wouldn't it be too boring? Since he was able to cause such a huge commotion in the Sacred Academy, he naturally had the ability.
The following battles were very interesting. Although Juyu was originally the last-ranked devil general, there was actually no one else who challenged her position.
Everyone had seen the ending of the ninth-ranked devil general Lu Xuejia. If one wanted to challenge Juyu, most probably only those ranked above her would be able to do so.
"When are you preparing to act?" The third-ranked devil general Zong Yan spoke to Huang Hanling who was beside him. Zong Yan didn't doubt Huang Hanling's strength at all. Although Qin Wentian was very strong, it wouldn't be a problem for Huang Hanling to kill him.
"There's no rush. The reason I allowed him to advance is because I want his life. Since he would die sooner or later, why not let him walk further? After all, only then would it be interesting." Huang Hanling laughed in a low voice. "In addition, devil general, don't you feel that it would be very interesting for the last-ranked devil general to enter the top seven?"
"When he stands at an unprecedented peak, do you want him to fall back into the abyss of despair?" Zong Yan shook his head and laughed. He didn't feel that this was very interesting. People of the devil sect valued strength. Juyu has already walked too far ahead and should be eliminated. She didn't have the qualifications to enter the top seven.
But since Huang Hanling wanted to play, let him be then.
Because there was no one else to challenge, Qin Wentian and Juyu actually continued to advance mysteriously. Juyu would become the seventh-ranked devil general because everyone understood that no matter how powerful her protector was, it was impossible for Juyu to advance any further in the following battles.
Juyu herself also understood this point.
"Next, the rules for the ranking of the top seven devil generals. For a devil general, there will be a protector. Devil generals will fight devil generals, protectors will fight protectors. If you lose two rounds, you will be eliminated. If we fight against the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan, you will defeat his protector while Zong Yan defeats me. My ranking will still be below him." Juyu transmitted her voice to Qin Wentian.
As for the top seven devil generals, Juyu's battle had already ended prematurely.
"This means that even if I can defeat all the protectors, as long as their devil general defeats you, in that case, you would be ranked behind them. In other words …"
"In other words, I'm already the last one. Even if you win all your battles, I won't be able to defeat their devil general unless …" Juyu directly spoke.
"Unless what?" Qin Wentian asked.
"After a protector defeats the protector of an opponent, he can represent the devil general to challenge the other devil general. This is also the reason why the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan needs to find a powerful protector. He needs his protector to block for him, allowing him to probe the strength of the first-ranked and second-ranked devil generals."
Juyu slowly spoke. She wanted Qin Wentian to fight against the top six devil generals? How could this be possible? Even if he could win, she wouldn't do this.
"When I invited you to be my protector, I also didn't expect that we would be able to reach this step. The ranking of the devil sect depends on absolute strength. Even if the protector is strong, the devil general still has to have a corresponding level of strength before they can sit stably on their positions. But if you send me too high up, I might not be able to sit stably on this position."
Qin Wentian could understand, but he was puzzled. "In that case, wouldn't it be meaningless for me to send you to the top?"
"No. At the very least, after the ranking battle, I would still be able to gain some benefits." Juyu replied. Qin Wentian nodded. If this was the case, it wasn't too bad.
Next, the top six devil generals were still there. Strength was strength, they were still able to stably guard their positions. In addition, it would be hard for anyone to shake their positions.
Although Lu Xuejia was injured, she was still staring at the battlefield. At this moment, Juyu and Qin Wentian both seemed so tiny and inconsequential.
For the next six devil generals, including their protectors, none of them were weak.
The sound of footsteps rang out. Under the bewildered gazes of everyone, the first person who walked out was actually the protector of the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan, Huang Hanling.
He stared at Qin Wentian as he coldly laughed, "I didn't expect to meet you here in the devil sect. Sadly, even if you reached this step, you still have to die. I heard that for this adjudication battle, you are one of the most important characters in the Evergreen Immortal Sect. If you died here, it would surely be interesting, right?"
Huang Hanling was thinking that when he carried Qin Wentian's head back, what expressions would the people from both sides have?
"Do you think that you are very strong?" Qin Wentian stared at Huang Hanling as he asked.
Huang Hanling laughed when he heard this baffling question, "Maybe you still don't understand what the threshold to the immortal king realm is. Although those who entered that place back then were all peak-level geniuses, it doesn't mean that all of them have high cultivation bases. It's not important whether you are very strong or not, but killing you shouldn't be too much of a problem. Remember this, the person who will kill you is none other than Huang Hanling of the Nine Emperors Immortal State."
As the sound of his voice faded, Huang Hanling's immortal-foundation erupted forth, manifesting a king-grade immortal foundation that shone with a human emperor light.
"Huang Hanling, after killing him, finish off his devil generals as well. Since the last-ranked devil general has reached this step, he shouldn't exist anymore." Zong Yan who was at the back coldly spoke.
"I'm willing to do so." Huang Hanling smiled.
Qin Wentian stepped out, stretching out his palms as destructive energy condensed into an ancient halberd. He stared into Huang Hanling's eyes and spoke, "To kill a trash of the second-ranked Nine Emperors Immortal State, if I can't finish him within three moves, it would be a humiliation for me, Qin Wentian!"
