Gu Xuan and Dongfang Xue chatted as they flew back.
"I didn't do anything, but I rose four ranks for no reason.
If I'm a bit luckier, perhaps more and more people will die at the top.
In the end, I won't have to do anything, and I'll be able to rise to 19th place. "
Dongfang Xue suddenly said with a longing expression.
Gu Xuan shook his head with a smile.
"Theoretically, it's possible.
But in reality, it won't be that easy.
The higher the ranking, the harder it is to kill.
Also, did you notice that the rankings this time start from the 25th place? "
Dongfang Xue thought for a moment before asking, "Of course I noticed that, but what's going on?"
Gu Xuan smiled faintly.
"It's very simple. Did you forget that Di Huo, who was ranked 30th, was killed by me, so the 30th place disappeared?
There are probably other reasons for this as well.
For example, if you and I fought.
If you killed me, the ranking on your identity jade badge would naturally change to first place.
Since I'm already dead, my identity jade tablet will naturally disappear as well.
If I killed you, I would still be first place, and I wouldn't be able to inherit your ranking, so my identity jade badge would naturally disappear. "
Dongfang Xue understood after hearing this.
"In that case, the original 30 spots will become fewer and fewer.
At that time, we won't even be able to gather 19 spots.
If the battles get more intense, perhaps there won't even be 10 identity jade badges left. "
Gu Xuan rubbed his chin.
"That's just the beginning. No one has any experience.
This shouldn't be the case from now on.
The spots are so precious. If you don't want them, you can give them away.
I'm sure many native beasts would be willing to pay a hefty price for a spot. In fact, they would even be willing to serve others as their master.
This is a big deal. "
As long as they could beat the powerful cultivators with rankings half to death, then let the unranked cultivators kill them, the benefits would be self-evident.
The two of them chatted idly as they flew for dozens of kilometers in the blink of an eye.
Gu Xuan turned around in a carefree manner. Unbeknownst to him, there was someone waiting for him two hundred kilometers away in the direction he was heading.
The Confucian Blade Saint was still planning his ambush point. When Gu Xuan arrived, he would first kill Gu Xuan and then immediately leave this place, moving slightly closer to the Nine Fingers Mountain.
He absolutely could not be sent to the vicinity of the Nine Fingers Mountain because he was too far away from the Nine Fingers Mountain when the rankings of the next ranking tournament were announced two days later. That would be terrible.
Now, in the entire Ninth Realm, the Nine Finger Mountain was the place with the greatest concentration of powerful cultivators.
"Hmm?"
As the Confucian Blade Saint's mind was racing, he suddenly sensed that an extremely dangerous feeling had already enveloped him.
His body shot out like an arrow into the distance.
At the same time, he turned around.
What he saw was a figure that followed him like a shadow.
The eyes of the Confucian Saber Saint widened.
"Zhuge Wuwo, you want to kill me?"
The Confucian Saber Saint's voice trembled.
He tried to change his position, as if he wanted to get away from Zhuge Wuwo.
However, it was of no use at all.
Zhuge Wuwo was just one foot behind him. No matter how mysterious and strange the Confucian Saber Saint used, Zhuge Wuwo was always closely following him. The distance between them was not even increased by a single step.
Zhuge Wuwo's emotionless voice sounded from under the mask.
"I said that this time, either Gu Xuan will die, or you, the person who made the Middle Yuan Region lose face, will die.
Now, Gu Xuan has turned around and will not come here again.
All the arrangements you made against him are useless.
Since that is the case, your life is useless.
Do you know? I never expected you to kill Gu Xuan.
The only meaning of your life is to show me Gu Xuan's strength.
Unfortunately, trash will always be trash. Even the heavens did not give you a chance to show your worth. You can only be destroyed. "
As Zhuge Wuwo spoke, he had already raised his right hand and gently slapped his palm towards the Confucian Saber Saint's forehead.
This palm appeared to be light and soft. However, it was accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder. The space within a hundred feet radius instantly became distorted.
Even the air seemed to have become heavy.
In the distorted space, the Confucian Saber Saint felt as if his entire body was caught in an invisible net. Even his movements became sluggish. It was impossible for him to dodge or escape.
The Confucian Saber Saint gritted his teeth as a crazed look appeared in his eyes.
Billowing energy erupted from his body.
"I have already advanced to the intermediate Profound Saint Realm. No one can kill me!"
The Confucian Saber Saint roared as his hands formed a complicated and mysterious seal.
All of a sudden, an aura unique to formations appeared on his body.
This was the aura that belonged to a formation flag.
At this moment, the Confucian Saber Saint's body was like a formation flag!
"Doomsday Heavenly Annihilation Formation!"
The Confucian Saber Saint seemed to be chanting a mantra. As soon as he spoke, the laws followed!
The great formation he had set up in the forest was activated at this moment.
Billowing energy gathered towards the Confucian Saber Saint.
The Confucian Saber Saint's aura became even stronger.
It was several times stronger than his original aura!
The grass and trees in the forest withered and decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The energy in the forest became thinner and thinner, as if the Doomsday Era had really arrived.
"Kill me? Don't even think about it! "
The energy in the Confucian Saber Saint's body surged. His left hand turned into a palm knife as he executed the most powerful killing move, ruthlessly chopping at Zhuge Wuwo's palm!
When Zhuge Wuwo's palm was only a foot away from the Confucian Saber Saint's forehead, the two attacks collided.
However, when their hands collided, there was no sound.
There was no explosion or the sound of bones breaking that they had imagined.
The two seemed to be in a stalemate.
Zhuge Wuwo suddenly nodded.
"Not bad. You were able to block my attack.
As a warrior in the intermediate Profound Saint Realm, you are not bad.
However, how did you have the guts to attack me? "
The Confucian Saber Saint stared coldly at Zhuge Wuwo.
"Although I am afraid of you, I am more afraid of death.
This Doomsday Heavenly Annihilation Formation is a surprise I prepared for Gu Xuan, but it is also a surprise I prepared for you!
If you don't attack me, so be it.
But since you attacked me, I will fight you to the death!
Even if I, the Confucian Saber Saint, die, I will severely injure you and make you suffer a crushing defeat in the Grand Competition!
If you don't believe me, then let's fight and see if I have the ability to do so! "
The Confucian Saber Saint threatened Zhuge Wuwo.
A trace of mockery flashed across Zhuge Wuwo's face under the mask.
"Severely injure me and make me suffer a crushing defeat?
You think too highly of yourself.
You used yourself as the formation flag and became the core of this killing formation. You absorbed the energy of the entire forest for your own use. In addition, you burned your own blood essence at all costs to increase your strength by ten times.
This is indeed a good way to put your life on the line.
Even Gu Xuan might be severely injured by you.
But you are facing me, the leader of the Saints, Zhuge Wuwo! Because of this, you are doomed to be defeated! "
