The Cloud Riding Competition ended three hours early for the first time, shocking everyone on Huqi Mountain!

"How come it's so fast?"

"Less than sixty people have been eliminated. How is that possible?!"

From the golden elixir experts to the ordinary people, everyone looked in disbelief.

Not only was the ending time weird, but the number of people eliminated was even weirder!

A full 128 contestants landed on the island, and only 57 people were eliminated in the end. Could it be said that more than half of the contestants died on the island?

Everyone trembled when they thought of this, took a breath of air, and did not dare to think about it any more.

More than 50% mortality rate?

Even though the Cloud Riding Competition has always been known for its cruelty, there has never been such a high number of deaths!

"Who won?"

After being shocked, people immediately noticed the problem.

In the end, who won the top prize?

High in the sky, Dong Qingran looked pale, bit his teeth, and stared at Chengyun Island above his head. He felt almost desperate, but prayed desperately for the miracle that was almost impossible to happen.

He didn't come out.

Will he... still come out?

In the crowd, Nangong Zhu's heart was beating wildly, and she was clutching the hem of the clothes of the old man named He next to her, but she didn't know it.

"He Lao, he, he won't be dead, right?"

There was deep concern in her voice.

Unlike Dong Qingran, Nangong Zhu's worries are more based on the night watchman's considerations.

Ling Xiao is the best candidate to guard the Ancient Forest of Ten Thousand Demons in the next thirty years. If something goes wrong, not only will the advance payment be wasted, but it will also be difficult for the Night Watchmen to find a suitable candidate.

"Why are you panicking? The results will be out soon."

The old man surnamed He said calmly and calmly.

The old man surnamed He didn't care about Ling Xiao's life or death.

His death proves that this person was not good at learning and was arrogant and conceited, and he deserved to die.

Even if such a person guards the Ancient Forest of Ten Thousand Demons, it will be difficult for people to feel at ease. What is there to regret?

The old man surnamed He, who has lived for more than eight hundred years, has seen too many amazing and talented people, but most of those people have been lost in the long river of time.

Only the night watchman has stood for thousands of years without falling!

Talent is everywhere.

A mere 1.5 million spirit stones are not valued by Yuanying monks.

The calmness of the old man surnamed He finally allowed Nangong Zhu to find some backbone, smiled bitterly, and stopped thinking.

Whether Ling Xiao is dead or alive will be revealed immediately!

The supreme brilliance that bloomed on Chengyun Island gradually converged, which meant that the opportunity to form pills at the peak had been snatched away.

Everyone craned their necks, staring at the island with anticipation and curiosity. They just wanted to know the name of this person who stood at the pinnacle of casual cultivators.

"Out!"

Someone shouted.

Immediately, everyone's hearts were in their throats, especially the gamblers who were betting. They wished they had ten pairs of eyes so that they could see who it was the first time.

When the morning light has not yet emerged and the sky and the earth are dim, blue shirts are floating on the shore of Chengyun Island.

The golden elixir monks in the air reacted immediately, and they all stood up in astonishment, astounded by the identity of this person.

Dong Qingran lightly covered her red lips, her whole body trembling, as if she couldn't believe it as she looked at the blue-clothed figure teleported out, and she shed tears in a daze.

"Ling...Ling Xiao?!"

On Huqi Mountain, all the spectators seemed to have turned into chickens whose necks were strangled for an instant. After a few sharp and high-pitched neighing sounds, they became deathly silent again.

Between heaven and earth, the wind is gentle, supporting the figure riding the wind, as if standing on top of the clouds.

After a while, the people in Huqishan finally seemed to have recovered their vocal cords.

"How could it be him?"

"Not only did he not die, but he also won the top prize?"

Hoarse questioning voices echoed around, telling the ruthless truth.

For a time, countless people shook their bodies, as if they had been hit by a heavy hammer, and some began to faint.

These people were all gamblers who bet on Ling Xiao's death before the game.

Many of them had all their wealth taken in.

They thought they were just picking up a little money easily, but they never expected that such a shocking upset would happen, causing them to fall from heaven to hell in an instant, with all their money lost!

As more and more people passed out, there was some chaos in the square, but people could no longer care about the chaos.

"How on earth did he do it?"

"He must have used very despicable means, otherwise how could so many people not come out?"

"That's right, search him. He may be a Jindan monk pretending to be a monk!"

All kinds of sounds gathered like a raging ocean, rolling back high into the sky.

An overseas monk won the top spot in the Chengyun Competition held every fifty years!

The self-proclaimed native of Yunhuang Continent, from the moment he knew that Ling Xiao was an overseas monk, was filled with superiority towards the latter, just like the natural sense of superiority that high-level creatures have over low-level creatures.

But when this sense of superiority was severely shattered by the ruthless and cruel reality, almost everyone became angry and unable to accept it!

Barbarians from overseas dare to step on the heads of all the Huntian League monks and reach the top? !

Of course Ling Xiao heard the angry screams of the people below.

It sounds like a dog barking.

He ignored it, just frowned and floated in the air, looking a little impatient.

I've already come out, why are you still stunned?

Hurry up and bring the reward!

Is it possible that I have to give an acceptance speech?

I'm not prepared!

Just when he was getting a little impatient, suddenly, Xiaoshu's sharp call came to his ears.

【careful! 】

A warning sign suddenly appeared on the spiritual platform, Ling Xiao's face changed drastically, the peach wood sword fell into the palm of his hand instantly, and the tip of his sword connected, and in an instant, he clicked out thirty talismans!

Twenty Dragon Breath Talisman!

Eight broken military symbols!

Two pieces, falling talisman!

Without hesitation, Ling Xiao used the three strongest talismans at hand.

Boom!

The violent force came from behind, and it collided with the power of his talisman first. The force of the counter-shock came, and Ling Xiao felt like he was struck by lightning. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down like a kite with a broken string. Fly out.

This shocking change made all the nearby Jindan monks furious.

"who?!"

"Who is causing trouble?!"

At any time, dozens of escaping lights shot out and rushed towards Ling Xiao.

Although the Jindans were shocked and confused just now, Ling Xiao, as the top pick in this year's Chengyun Competition, was actually attacked and killed on the spot, which made them take action instinctively.

However, there was one person who was faster than all the golden elixirs. Almost as soon as Ling Xiao flew upside down, an old figure like a dead tree appeared faintly in the sky.

"The Cai family is seeking death!"

The old man surnamed He smiled ferociously, his expression as cold as ice, and his halberd pointed out a flash of spiritual light, which shot towards a place of nothingness.

The person who attacked and killed Ling Xiao was undoubtedly the ancestor of the Cai family!

At the moment, the spiritual light shot out and transformed into a giant net with a "bang", covering that place of nothingness, and the overwhelming murderous aura spread all over the sky.

In that place of nothingness, another old figure suddenly stumbled out, with a look of panic on his face.

The old man surnamed He smiled grimly.

Regardless of whether you are an ancestor of the Cai family or an ancestor of the Fan family, if you dare to commit murder in front of me, the old man surnamed He will not tolerate it!

Seeing that the ancestor of the Cai family was about to be executed, another golden light suddenly came from the side.

"Amitabha, fellow Taoist, wait a minute!"
