Chapter 1954: Chu Chun Qiu’s Strength
The crowd was astonished by Lin Feng’s strength, he was amazingly strong for his level. The successive challengers didn’t dare provoke Lin Feng anymore. The purpose of the competition was to find one’s Path, cultivators didn’t want to die. A dozen people challenged cultivators, and none of them dared challenge Lin Feng. Even if they managed to rank 11th or 12th, they’d have the occasion to find their Path.
Pei Dong Lai looked at Lin Feng, who was 13th at that moment.
“It’s your turn now,” Pei Dong Lai said to Lin Feng indifferently.
Lin Feng nodded and jumped forwards. He glanced at the others as he asked, “Do I have to win to win to find my Path?”
“During this round, you can only challenge the 11th and 12th cultivators or above. Of course, even if you don’t end up in the top ten, you’ll have the opportunity to continue competing,” replied Pei Dong Lai calmly.
Lin Feng nodded. Lin Feng understood that only people who were under him in the ranking list could challenge him, so if he ranked first, everybody would be able to challenge him, he didn’t want that. He needed to find a stable position in the ranking list to continue progressing. It wasn’t an easy choice.
“Xie Yue!” said Lin Feng. Xie Yue was the eighth cultivator. He controlled Evil Corrosion Dao, Lin Feng controlled Death Dao. Destroying Xie Yue’s Dao could be easier for him. However, Lin Feng didn’t really understand how strong the ninth and tenth cultivators, respectively Jin Xing Zi and Wang Zhong, were. Even if he managed to rise up to the eighth position, it wouldn’t mean that the ninth and tenth cultivators were weaker than him.
From the beginning, the top ten hadn’t changed too much, and it seemed that they tried to keep it that way. After a short time, they would start challenging each other, too. Lin Feng had to end up in the top ten first, and for that he needed to kick someone out of the top ten, and Lin Feng didn’t care who it was.
Xie Yue frowned and looked at Lin Feng’s eyes, which were filled with death strength. His expression suddenly changed. Lin Feng dared choose him?!
Suddenly, death energies emerged from Lin Feng’s eyes and penetrated into Xie Yue’s brain. In return, Xie Yue released evil corrosive strength, a seemingly endless amount of which surged towards Lin Feng. However, millions of death Kalpa lights appeared around Lin Feng and blotted out the sky, destroying the corrosive strength at the same time.
“I’ll show you what it feels like to be dead!” sneered Xie Yue icily. He shouted furiously, the color of the sky changing again. Everything around Lin Feng became pitch-black.
“Your Dao is not too bad,” said Lin Feng, moving forwards. He released another death sword towards Xie Yue. At the same time, he waved his hands, and the air rumbled like opening graves as ancient imprints filled the air, shooting in Xie Yue’s direction, drawing down the power of the earth and sky and clearing up the air.
The decaying weight of an ocean of death energy gurgled and moved towards Xie Yue, nearly freezing him in place when he saw it coming. He made some hand seals, condensing his corrosive intent before it turned into a rain and the threads of corrosive evil energy collided with Lin Feng’s death energy.
“Get down!” An infinity of death intent washed over and ate away at Xie Yue’s body. Lin Feng also released a Nihility Death Sword, it looked even more terrifying than it used to be. Ancient imprints appeared in the ocean of death energies and flowed along with it. When Xie Yue saw the ocean of death energy, he was dumbfounded. He was going to be swallowed if he didn’t do anything!
Xie Yue jumped away frantically. The crowd was stupefied at the sight!
Lin Feng immediately jumped onto his pillar. He was now eighth!
“Piece of trash,” groaned Jin Xing Zi. All the others below Lin Feng were downgraded one position, not just Jin Xing Zi. The new 13th cultivator looked at the cultivators who were in the top ten and sighed, “I don’t care about the ranking list, I care about Dao.”
He chose to fight against Ying Cheng.
A terrifying wind made of Destructive Dao rolled towards him. The ground shook violently. Ying Cheng’s eyes looked like dazzling stars. Explosions kept spreading in the air. The challenger retreated, as Ying Cheng continued making hand seals. The wind made of Destructive Dao was terrifying!
“Piss off!” A terrifying wave of energy crashed onto that cultivator’s body, blood splashed, and he landed far in the distance, his face deathly pale.
“You taught me a good lesson,” sighed the man. He was still 13th!
After that, it was the turn of the twelfth cultivator: Chu Chun Qiu!
People’s eyes were twinkling in anticipation. Chu Chun Qiu was mysterious. They had all waited impatiently for this day. Who would he challenge?
Suddenly, Chu Chun Qiu looked at Yin Gu Tian, seventh in the ranking list, from the Yin Clan. Yin Gu Tian’s eyes were silver. Chu Chun Qiu wanted to force him down in the ranking list.
The crowd stared at the two of them. Chu Chun Qiu rarely showed how strong he was, so nobody really knew how strong he was. His Qi was now King Qi. Things would probably change for him on today.
“Chu Chun Qiu, are you sure?” said Yin Gu Tian. Dazzling silver lights started emerging from his eyes, and silver lights glittered.
Chu Chun Qiu took a step forwards and then started moving towards Yin Gu Tian. His eyes turned into two black holes.
“Argh!” Chu Chun Qiu looked like a king. Yin Gu Tian shuddered with fear as his soul shook. He had the sensation he was losing control over his soul and body. His willpower started flowing out of his body.
There was an explosion as a terrifying sword made of ancient imperial intent moved towards him with overwhelming pressure. His will started breaking apart and he started bleeding. His face turned deathly pale.
“Argh!” There was another explosion, and Yin Gu Tian had the sensation he was losing it, his soul was tearing apart. He wanted to leave his body with his soul, the sky turned silver. He tried to retreat, and finally jumped off the pillar.
Everybody was staring at Chu Chun Qiu, their hearts pounding excitedly. Chu Chun Qiu was terrifyingly strong. Yin Gu Tian was the seventh cultivator in the ranking list, and he had just suffered a crushing defeat!
Yin Gu Tian couldn’t believe it. He had never been that scared. He was afraid of Chu Chun Qiu now!
Chu Chun Qiu rolled up his sleeves and jumped up onto his pillar. Yin Gu Tian was staring at him, his face stiff.
Chu Chun Qiu is so strong!, thought Lin Feng with a sigh. He had the premonition many things were going to change during this event. Chu Chun Qiu was always discreet, but he was as strong as an ancient emperor, and had king Qi. He was going to become a hero and rise today!
Ying Cheng and Ji Chang were shocked too. They could barely understand that he had just risen up to the seventh position. What would their position be at the end of the event?
Lin Feng was also downgraded to the ninth rank. Xie Yue, Jin Xing Zi, and Wang Zhong were now under him in the list. Jin Xing Zi and Wang Zhong were now 11th and 12th.
Wang Zhong and Jin Xing Zi looked at the cultivators who were above them in the list and took a deep breath. They were all extremely strong, and now that Lin Feng and Chu Chun Qiu had risen up in the list, would anyone below them challenge them?
Especially Chu Chun Qiu, nobody would dare challenge him!
At this moment, the top ten were: Ying Chen, Ji Chang, Guili, the Buddhist warrior, Shi Yun Feng, Xue Shen Feng, Chu Chun Qiu, Yin Gu Tian, Lin Feng and Xie Yue!
They were all terrifyingly strong. Jin Xing Zi and Wang Zhong felt the pressure.
Finally, Wang Zhong took a step forwards, he had to challenge someone!
