Were the people of Wanguu Peak crazy? They actually wanted to challenge Lotus Peak.
Lotus Peak was one of the top 30 peaks and had more than 20 Jin Xian. Just the number of late stage Jin Xian surpassed all of them. Wanguu Peak actually wanted to challenge them. If they were not crazy, what were they doing?
Even if they wanted to commit suicide, it should not be like this.
Many people looked at Wanguu Peak with interest. Some of them even had some ideas in their minds.
It would be best for Wangufeng to challenge Lotus Flower Peak. This way, under the wrath of Lotus Flower Peak, they might suffer some losses. It would be best if that mysterious Gu Zheng was eliminated. This way, they would be able to challenge Wangufeng and snatch their ranking.
There were also some who just wanted to watch the show. They could not wait for Wanguu Peak to be unlucky. Wanguu Peak's previous performance was very dazzling, which made some people jealous.
There were also some who shook their heads. They did not think that Wanguu Peak wanted to challenge Lotus Peak. It was possible that they had some business with Lotus Peak. However, the ranking battle of the Virtual Battlefield did not allow alliances. The other peaks could not use their own strength to help the other peaks. Once it was verified, they would be severely punished.
The ranking battle was a competition of the strength of each peak, not conspiracy. One could freely adjust the opponent and time of the challenge, but one could not seek help from others.
Freely adjusting was a display of wisdom. Shushan recognized wisdom as a kind of strength, but not conspiracy. That would only lead to a bad atmosphere. It was absolutely not allowed.
Therefore, they thought that Wanguu Peak's people were just asking or chatting with Lotus Peak's people. It was also possible that the two peaks already knew each other and greeted each other.
"Senior Brother He, we want to challenge you!"
Changmei stood in front of Lotus Peak's peak master and said firmly. Following his words, many people who did not believe that they would challenge were all stunned, including a few elders. They also did not think that Wanguu Peak was going to challenge them.
Challenging Lotus Peak was like throwing an egg against a rock. It was suicidal.
"What?"
Lotus Peak's peak master, He Qiong, stood up. He looked to be in his forties and was very tall and sturdy. His strength had also reached the peak of the late stage. He was not inferior to the man from Butterfly Peak. He was even slightly stronger than him.
He looked at Changmei in disbelief. Wanguu Peak was actually challenging Lotus Peak?
Not only him, but the other people from Lotus Peak also looked at Changmei as if they were looking at an idiot. Did Changmei not know how big the gap between them was? Or was Wanguu Peak's brain damaged from this time?
"Junior Brother Changmei, are you sure?"
He Qiong asked. He had no choice. He didn't think that Long Eyebrows was joking, but it was hard to believe. It was better for Long Eyebrows to commit suicide than to challenge them.
"Yes!"
Chang Mei nodded heavily. There was already an uproar outside. The disciples of Wangu Peak stared blankly at their elders, watching them challenge Lotus Peak, which was far more powerful than them.
He Qiong was speechless. Chang Mei was serious. He really came to challenge them.
... to..... to's to challenge challenge to the top of the top 30...... of..... It's boring and meaningless! "
He Qiong was still talking. He couldn't figure out why Wan Gufeng would challenge them. He couldn't figure it out at all.
.............. to challenge.........
Chang Mei shook his head again. Many people became alert. Both inside and outside the Virtual Battlefield, ninety percent of the people were focused on Wan Gufeng.
Shushan encouraged the small to win big, but did not encourage overestimation of one's strength. This was the reason why they limited the challenge to the top 100.
It would be a big joke if the last place challenged the first place.
Wanguu Peak was currently ranked 112, while Lotus Peak was ranked 23. The difference was less than 100. Therefore, Wanguu Peak had the right to challenge. This was also the reason why Gu Zheng accepted the challenge when 139 challenged them.
They could ignore the previous 103 and 112 and just give it to them. After all, it was just a transition. It did not matter which rank they retained. Gu Zheng also did not want to challenge the first place.
However, Gu Zheng was unable to do so. If he was Gu Zheng, he would not have the qualifications to challenge those in the top 39. Therefore, Gu Zheng wanted to chase Gu Zheng away and preserve his qualifications to challenge those in the top 30.
Between 20th and 30th place was the best choice after Gu Zheng's observation.
If he was too close to the front, the other party would be too strong. For the sake of their dignity and ranking, they would definitely fight with their lives on the line. If they were stronger, Gu Zheng's chances of victory would be very low. If he was too close to the back, he wouldn't be able to achieve his goal. Therefore, Gu Zheng decided to challenge a peak between the 20th and 30th.
Just like that, Lotus Peak, which had only been challenged once, became his target.
"Okay, we accept the challenge!"
He Qiong replied loudly with a little anger. He could not refuse the challenge. Refusing was equivalent to giving up. This was absolutely impossible for him.
Since he could not refuse, he had to fight. He Qiong had already decided that no matter what, he would teach Wanguu Peak a lesson. Wanguu Peak was in trouble, so he would not eliminate them all. At most, he would leave one of them alive.
Leaving one alive was already a great kindness.
As soon as He Qiong's voice fell, the people of Lotus Peak attacked first. They were angry because of Wanguu Peak's challenge, so they naturally did not show mercy.
The power of more than 20 Jin Xian attacking together was huge. In just a moment, Wu Chengfeng's vision turned black. When he woke up, he was already sitting on a chair outside.
He was surrounded by eight Jin Xian alone, and there were many late stage ones among them. He did not have much power to fight back before he was killed. Wanguu Peak lost one person in just one exchange.
"Fire Dragon, Water Dragon!"
Two giant dragons appeared again, and they were both summoned by Gu Zheng's strongest power. Especially the Fire Dragon, it was unpredictable and could appear suddenly, relieving the pressure of its companions. However, in just a moment, Wanguu Peak lost one person and three were injured.
On Gu Zheng's side, five Jin Xian faced him at the same time. Five people did not seem to be a lot, but these five were all late stage ones. The people of Lotus Peak also knew that Gu Zheng was difficult to deal with, so he was listed as a key target.
Purple Cloud Sage and the elders were also looking at Gu Zheng. They understood that Wanguu Peak dared to challenge Lotus Peak because it was Gu Zheng's idea. Chang Mei did not have the courage to do so.
Five late stage Jin Xian besieged Gu Zheng, who was only at the early stage of Jin Xian. With the help of his movement technique, Gu Zheng was able to withstand them. Although he did not cause any damage to the five people, at least they could not threaten him for the time being.
An early stage Jin Xian facing five late stage ones. Not to mention a tie, even if he could withstand them, it would be a great thing.
Gu Zheng only summoned two giant dragons. These two dragons could fight independently and did not need to be controlled by Gu Zheng. A pitch-black long blade appeared in Gu Zheng's hand. It was Tang Mo.
Gu Zheng's eyes gradually became a little fierce, and the blade in his hand exuded a strange and dangerous light.
The energy of heaven and earth quickly condensed around Gu Zheng, and the blade in his hand became brighter and brighter. He Qiong, who was besieging Gu Zheng, felt that something was wrong.
"Don't hold back!"
He Qiong roared. The five people increased their strength. Not only that, but two middle stage Jin Xian also joined in the besieging of Gu Zheng.
"Mad Demon Blade!"
Gu Zheng said in his heart. This was the trump card that he dared to challenge Lotus Peak. He had not completely mastered this crazy and powerful blade technique. However, with his strength as a Jin Xian, he could already use it, but he still had to suffer the backlash.
This backlash was nothing to Gu Zheng, and he could completely withstand it.
Gu Zheng raised Tang Mo, and his eyes became even fiercer.
The Mad Demon Blade had a total of 81 blades, and its speed was extremely fast. 81 blades were enough to burst out with the attack power of Daluo Jinxian. Even if it was not as good as Daluo Jinxian, it was not too far off.
The Mad Demon Blade was not something that a Jin Xian could resist.
"Swish!"
Many people only saw a bright light, but Purple Cloud and the others stared with their eyes wide open. Three of the elders suddenly stood up.
"Retreat!"
Before Gu Zheng attacked, He Qiong let out a heart-wrenching cry. He had sensed the extraordinariness of Gu Zheng's saber art, but it was already too late. Out of the seven people, three of them instantly disappeared, while the remaining four were sent flying with injuries all over their bodies.
The Mad Demon Blade had killed three and injured four out of the seven Jin Xian who had besieged him. Although only one late stage Jin Xian died, the death of three people was still a big blow to Lotus Peak, and it also had a certain impact on their strength.
Gu Zheng held the blade, and his body was a little weak, but he still stood up straight. It was worthy of being called a blade technique that could produce the attack power of Daluo Jinxian. This attack had almost drained his strength.
Chang Mei and the others who were fighting stopped and were stunned. No one expected Gu Zheng to be so strong. He was fighting one against seven, and he actually killed three and injured four.
"I have already collected some, but I can't collect all of them!"
Gu Zheng grinned and said to He Qiong. He had indeed held back. Otherwise, the seven of them would have been eliminated, but at most, only two of them would have been left behind.
Even two of them might not have been left behind.
"I understand!"
He Qiong's expression was dignified and somewhat bitter. They all understood that they were the ones who had suffered the most. They had indeed felt that the last of his strength had not been used. Otherwise, they might have already been in the seats outside.
Gu Zheng had shown mercy. His purpose was to increase their ranking, not to completely defeat them.
"We admit defeat!"
He Qiong was a decisive person and immediately admitted defeat. They could continue fighting, but he didn't know if Gu Zheng could still release such a powerful attack. If he could, then their losses would be even greater. At that time, even if they won, they would be challenged by the people behind them and be pulled down.
He could not bear this result, so he decisively admitted defeat. He wanted to preserve his strength and snatch the ranking from others.
There was nothing he could do about it. The shock that Gu Zheng gave him was just too great. Just now, he had truly felt the threat of death. This was the closest he had ever been to death. Before this, no one had ever made him feel this way, not even in the previous ranking battles.
Admitting defeat was his best choice.
Lotus Peak admitted defeat, and Wangu Peak won. Wangu Peak was currently ranked twenty-third, while Lotus Peak had fallen to one hundred and twelve. However, everyone knew that their strength was definitely not one hundred and twelve. After the thirtieth place, especially those who were ranked at the bottom, all became nervous.
As for Gu Zheng, after He Qiong admitted defeat, he immediately meditated to recover. They still had one chance to be challenged. He was very clear that there would definitely be people who would fight for it. He had to maintain his condition and maintain his ranking.
If it was the peak after the hundredth place, it would be fine. If it was within the hundredth place, especially within the fiftieth place, it would definitely be a tough battle. However, at that time, he would not hold back. They only had one chance to be challenged, and it would be fine as long as they maintained their ranking.
This time, it was the time for them to really fight for their lives.
"We won, we won?"
Chang Mei still couldn't believe it. They really won and became twenty-third. This was a ranking that he didn't even dare to dream of before.
The outside was also silent. No one had thought that Wangu Peak, who had challenged with an egg against a rock, would actually win in the end. The one who lost was Lotus Peak.
Outside, Reverend Ziyun and the other Elders were all silent.
Although they were shocked that Gu Zheng was able to defeat Jin Xian in the late stage, it was not unacceptable. After all, Gu Zheng was a genius among geniuses. He had reached the Jin Xian Realm before the age of thirty and had triggered the Ten Thousand Swords Choose Their Master.
It was not surprising for such a person to be able to fight above his level.
But this time, Gu Zheng had really shocked them. Others might not take it lightly, but they knew very well that the power of the last slash was close to the strength of a Golden Immortal. It was just that it was close to the strength of a Golden Immortal, but it was nothing. Each of them could release a stronger attack than this.
However, this was released by a Jin Xian in the early stage of Jin Xian Realm.
What if he reached the middle stage or the late stage? What if he reached the Daluo Jinxian Realm?
Jin Xian Realm was already so terrifying. If he reached the Daluo Jinxian Realm, wouldn't this blade be invincible among the Daluo Jinxian Realm? So, they thought more.
"Why is it a blade technique?"
After a while, an elder said faintly, "That's right. Why is it a saber technique and not a sword technique? They are Shushan, and Shushan represents the Sword Immortal. Most of the disciples cultivate sword techniques."
Mount Shu's sword formation was also famous in the Untainted Land.
Sage Purple Cloud and the others also sighed. At this moment, they finally understood why Gu Zheng didn't choose any of those high-grade Immortal Swords. In the end, he chose the worst one. At that time, he had said that he cultivated blade techniques and that practicing sword techniques would delay his cultivation. Back then, they didn't understand why. But now, they understood everything.
If they had such a powerful blade technique, they would not have practiced sword techniques. Choosing a superior immortal sword would indeed delay a treasured sword.
"What's wrong with blade techniques? Is there a rule in Mount Shu that forbids practicing blade techniques?"
Another elder refuted. He was the elder who wanted to accept Gu Zheng as a disciple before. Now, he was even more determined to accept him as a disciple. Moreover, he did practice blade techniques. He was a dual cultivator of blade and sword.
Mount Shu was indeed a sword immortal. However, Mount Shu did not prohibit practicing other weapons or cultivation methods. They only trained their disciples with sword techniques, and each of them had an immortal sword.
"That's true, but!"
Another elder spoke. He said 'but' and didn't say anything else. However, everyone understood what he meant.
Mount Shu did not forbid practicing blade techniques, but the blade technique one practiced was stronger than the sword technique of others. No one could compare with him, which made Mount Shu very embarrassed.
After Gu Zheng's saber strike, there was probably no other disciple in the Golden Immortal Realm who could compare to him. That was fine. The number one disciple of the Golden Immortal Realm was nothing. It was also a good name. However, the number one disciple of the Golden Immortal Realm of Shu Mountain did not cultivate sword techniques but saber techniques. If this were to spread, wouldn't people laugh their heads off?
Therefore, they all had a strange feeling, a feeling of discomfort.
"It doesn't matter. I will teach him sword techniques in the future. He will be a dual cultivator of blade and sword, just like me!"
The elder grinned again. The more he looked at Gu Zheng, the more he liked him. He could not wait to go over and take Gu Zheng away.
"Well, a dual cultivator of blade and sword. Even if his sword technique is not good, it is still better than only practicing blade techniques!"
Ziyun Zhenren said. It was a conclusion. For the sake of Mount Shu's face, Gu Zheng had to practice a profound sword technique. Even if his sword technique was not as good as his blade technique, it was necessary for him to know a sword technique, and it could not be bad.
It was okay if his blade technique was not better than his blade technique, but it could not be without exquisite sword techniques. Otherwise, Mount Shu would really lose face.
Gu Zheng did not know the decision made by the elders. He was still seizing the time to recover, and so were Changmei and the others.
Tianmingzi was eliminated, and there were only six of them left. In a while, they would be challenged by others, so they must not be careless.
Previously, the people who could challenge them were only those who were below the 100th rank. Now, most of the people who could challenge them were within the 100th rank, or even within the 30th rank.
At this time, there were indeed many peaks staring at them.
The peaks that had just been challenged were not allowed to be challenged again within four hours. Therefore, they had four hours to recover. After four hours, it would be time for others to challenge them.
Gu Zheng believed that even if he broke out such a strong attack, there would still be people who would challenge him.
The reason was very simple. Some people had been challenged five times, but did not reach the ideal ranking. No matter what, they had to take a gamble. Challenging Wanguu Peak at this time was the best choice.
It did not matter if they failed, because they would still have their original ranking. However, if they succeeded, they would be able to enter the 30th rank and get the 23rd rank. This was a great temptation, so they were willing to gamble.
Four hours passed quickly. After four hours, when Gu Zheng opened his eyes, three groups of people flew in front of them.
"Changlan Peak challenges Wanguu Peak!"
Among the three groups of people flying in, one group shouted before they arrived. The other two groups were stunned and then scolded them for being despicable.
Since someone had challenged them first, they could not challenge them again. Wanguu Peak only had one challenge left, and they could only helplessly watch this opportunity being taken away by others.
Changlan Peak, which was ranked 61st, challenged them.
The three groups were from the 39th peak, the 61st peak, and the 88th peak.
They were all within the 100th rank, and they all had one thing in common. They had used up their number of challenges, so they did not have to worry about being challenged again if they failed.
Gu Zheng was not surprised at all. He was already mentally prepared. In fact, there were not many people who could challenge them. Those who still had the qualifications to be challenged would hesitate because even if they defeated the Myriad Valley Peak, they might be challenged by other peaks later on. They might not be able to hold on, so they would not rashly go.
In this way, there were not many peaks who could challenge them. Changlan Peak was ranked in the middle of the three groups of people, so it was still better than the 39th peak.
