Chapter 1705: Being Sabotaged

“What a group of monsters . I’ve gotten good rolls three times in a row, and I still can’t pass them . ”

In the depths of the Devil Abyss, a man stood on the ground . Beside him was a giant black dragon unleashing its breath, annihilating the Empyrean Winged Blood Devils .

This black dragon was thirty thousand meters long and had three heads unleashing dragon breath at the same time, killing any Empyrean Winged Blood Devils in the vicinity . Although its aura was only around the tenth tier, its killing power was astonishing .

However, even with this dragon, the man couldn’t help but sigh upon seeing his kill points .

This person was Hu Feng, a dark horse in the Devil Slaughter Rankings . His ranking was consistently inconsistent, however, he did manage to stay in the top ten at this time .

Nevertheless, when he looked at the first place Guo Ran, he despaired . Guo Ran’s kill points were almost double Leng Yueyan’s who was in second place . His current number was one hundred and three . In other words, one hundred and three trillion kill points .

Each Empyrean Winged Blood Devil that was killed was worth one hundred million kill points, so Guo Ran had killed around a million Empyrean Winged Blood Devils . As for Hu Feng, he was only at thirty-seven . The difference was immense .

“Isn’t the Eastern Xuan Region’s strongest expert called Long Chen? How is this Guo Ran first?” Hu Feng didn’t understand, but it didn’t matter . He continued directing the black dragon to fight . He had to maintain his current position . If he slowed down, he might get passed by others .

…

“Monsters, all monsters! How am I supposed to compete against them?”

The sky was filled with exploding runes, raining down from a huge formation . Those runes exploded, blasting the Empyrean Winged Blood Devils to pieces .

Within this huge formation was a man with a helpless expression . He was looking at the jade plate in his hand .

This man was Xia Chen, the person who had dominated the Devil Slaughter Rankings for over a month . However, now he was bitter .

He had already fallen out of the top ten . He had to make a painful decision .

“Do I force it or not?”

Xia Chen mulled it over . He stared at the Devil Slaughter Rankings for a long time before shaking his head .

“No . I should save what little I have . If I pack up now, I won’t have lost out, although I won’t have made anything either . However, if I spend everything I have and still don’t get into the top ten, that would be the worst-case scenario . How unlucky, how did I encounter so many monsters? I thought I’d get in the top three at least! Looks like I overestimated myself and underestimated others . ”

Xia Chen was a bit unwilling but in the end, the huge formation vanished . Xia Chen’s figure also vanished amongst the endless devil creatures .

Less than a breath’s time after he left, his ranking fell one spot . Three breaths later, he fell out of the top twenty .

An incense stick’s worth of time later, he was out of the top hundred . From this, one could see how intense the competition of the Devil Slaughter Rankings was . No one could stop or slow down, or they’d be passed by others .

…

In the Eastern Xuan Region’s Devil Abyss, the Empyrean Winged Blood Devils were still falling in droves . With each passing breath, thousands of them died .

This wasn’t even a battle anymore . It was a one-sided slaughter . The Empyrean Winged Blood Devils had no ability to resist in front of Guo Ran . Their deaths were only a matter of time .

Behind them was the spatial gate that they couldn’t go back through, while in front of them was the rock-solid defense of Meng Qi and the others that they couldn’t break through . In the sky, Guo Ran was the devil king, constantly reaping their lives . There was nowhere for them to go .

On the other side of the spatial gate were countless Empyrean Winged Blood Devils . Their auras were on the level of the human race’s Life Star realm, however, despite that power, they could only roar unwillingly . They were unable to pass through the gate, as it didn’t allow such powerful creatures to pass . They could only watch as their fellows were killed .

“Despicable human race, you won’t have a good death!” cursed the Empyrean Winged Blood Devils on the other side . Regretfully for them, cursing couldn’t change the results .

The number of winged devils on the battlefield rapidly dropped . They soon became sparse . Guo Ran had managed to rack up three hundred and seventeen kill points, over one hundred and eighty more than Leng Yueyan .

“Oh?”

Guo Ran was still crazily unleashing the black water when he suddenly realized he had used it all up .

“Fuck, did I really…” Guo Ran instantly became dumbfounded . This time, he really had used it all up . He had been feeling too amazing and hadn’t checked how much of the death spirit water he had .

Long Chen had previously told him not to mess around . At any time, keeping some backup plans was necessary to handle unexpected things .

However, he had used it all up while he was lost in the ecstasy of seeing his kill points soar . He had no idea how he was supposed to explain himself to Long Chen, or what he should do now that he was just floating in the air .

Seeing Guo Ran stop, the Empyrean Winged Blood Devils that were running away from him came to a stop as well .

“He really should be out of it now . ”

“Don’t fall for it . Be careful . ”

“I agree, the human race is so sinister, be careful of their ploys . ”

The Empyrean Winged Blood Devils had become cautious after being fooled before . Guo Ran didn’t move, and they didn’t move either . They didn’t attack Guo Ran nor Meng Qi and the others . The battlefield became strange .

Just at this moment, the spatial gate shuddered and began to shrink .

“Hahaha, the spatial gate is finally closing! We’ve won!” shouted Guo Ran excitedly .

The spatial gate had a time limit to it . This intense shuddering meant that it was about to close . Seeing that, the Empyrean Winged Blood Devils’ expressions changed . Once the gate closed, they would really be trapped here .

BOOM!

Suddenly, the long-haired man fighting Long Chen folded his wings and formed a giant blade with them that slashed at Long Chen, forcing him back . The long-haired man vanished .

“Want to run? Keep dreaming . ”

Long Chen suddenly formed hand seals, and countless lightning runes appeared in the space around him . His figure also vanished . When he reappeared, he was punching thin air .

The space there exploded, revealing the long-haired man’s fleeing figure . He coughed up blood . Long Chen’s Celestial Lightning Body Blink allowed him to catch up instantly . His punch broke the long-haired man’s shoulder .

At the same time, Evilmoon slashed toward the long-haired man’s arm . It severed his arm at the elbow .

Long Chen then sent out a kick . This attack wasn’t aimed at the long-haired man but his white bone spear .

From using the Celestial Lightning Body Blink, figuring out his location, punching, slashing, and kicking, his movements were smooth and perfectly connected, not giving the long-haired man any chance to react .

“Thank you, boss!” shouted Gu Yang as he caught the white bone spear that was flying toward him . Clearly, Long Chen was sending him a divine weapon .

However, the white bone spear was so heavy that Gu Yang couldn’t even catch it properly . He held onto it as he tumbled into the distance with it, even coughing up a mouthful of blood . However, he didn’t care about that . This bone spear was now his .

However, Gu Yang’s expression suddenly changed . “Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, help me out! It wants to run!”

The bone spear’s runes had lit up . Li Qi and Song Mingyuan hastily grabbed it as well, the three of them working together to bind it .

“Heavenly Wing Tear-”

The long-haired man tried to use his connection with the bone spear to summon it back to him, but Gu Yang, Li Qi, and Song Mingyuan were preventing that . As for Long Chen, he was already coming for him . Clenching his teeth, he could only face Long Chen directly .

However, he had just formed a hand seal and had yet to fully activate his magical art when Long Chen appeared in front of him like a phantom, slapping him across the face . He staggered back .

“Blood Devil-”

The long-haired man tried to use another magical art when he was interrupted by another slap .

Having his techniques interrupted repeatedly caused the long-haired man to cough up a mouthful of blood . Having energy condense in his body and then being interrupted before he could unleash it resulted in that energy exploding inside him . If it weren’t for his immense talent and powerful bloodline, his body would have exploded .

“Right now!”

Long Chen’s eyes lit up . He had fought this long with the long-haired man precisely for this one opportunity to capture him alive .

Long Chen didn’t care whether this man lived or died, but he did care about what secrets the latter was holding in his head . This fellow had a special status and had to know some secrets .

To defeat him would have been easy, and killing him would not have been too hard for Long Chen . However, capturing him alive was far too difficult . As soon as this guy sensed something wrong, he might just kill himself, leaving Long Chen with nothing .

Through this long battle, Long Chen had been examining his fighting style, as well as the tempo of his magical arts . His habits, the changes in his aura, his hand seals, Long Chen had memorized them all . Seeing that the channel was about to close, Long Chen knew that now was his chance . Otherwise, he might run .

This fellow’s status was not ordinary . Most likely, those old fellows on the other side would use some special art to bring him back just like the one they had used to send him through .

That was why Long Chen unleashed his full power to catch him off guard, interrupting his magical arts and causing a backlash . He was now heavily injured . Long Chen’s hand reached toward the long-haired man’s head . He wanted to take his crystal core and then use his Spiritual Strength to fully suppress the long-haired man . That way, he would be able to go through his memories .

However, just as he was grasping this golden opportunity, a figure appeared in front of the spatial gate . That figure took out a miniature pagoda that sparkled like jade . The air of a Grand Dao appeared along with surging primal chaos .

“Not good!” Long Chen’s expression suddenly changed . He immediately abandoned the long-haired man and charged toward that figure .

“Hehe, too late . You can all go die!”

That figure laughed and suddenly tossed the pagoda into the spatial gate . It suddenly grew larger and then exploded .

Countless runes appeared on the channel . The spatial gate, which had been in the midst of shrinking, explosively grew .

The entire world began to shake, and the ground was collapsing . It was like the end of the world had come .
