"boom!"
Like a thunder falling, Chen Yuan reached the top in an instant and became the first person to climb the ladder. Then, he was followed closely by Zuo Chengzong, with lightning shining all over him.
It was like the thunderbolts gathered together, suddenly breaking through the shackles of the ladder with a powerful force, and climbed onto the ladder half a step behind Chen Yuan, although the two seemed to be similar.
But as long as a martial artist is slightly accomplished in martial arts, he can see one person in front of him and another person behind him.
It just so happens that Chen Yuan is the one in front!
The warriors below seemed to have exploded. This was almost the first time that the two of them had compared and decided the winner. Someone said:
"It seems that Zuo Chengzong is still slightly inferior to Chen Yuan."
"Yes, Chen Yuan is really far superior to other heroes." Someone said with horror on his face.
They all saw very clearly that the time when Chen Yuan and the others set off was almost half the night before the other heroes on the Hidden Dragon List, but in the end, it was Chen Yuan who reached the top first.
How can one not be in awe?
Although everyone was just watching, looking at the warriors with broken muscles and bones and bleeding all over their bodies, they could still understand the horror of the ladder to heaven, while beings like Chen Yuan and Zuo Chengzong were just like strolling in the courtyard.
You don't need to think about it to know that they are no longer opponents on the same level.
"Chen Yuan is expected to reach the top!"
"What you are saying is too much. Who said that Zuo Chengzong must be inferior to Chen Yuan? He was only a little behind just now. What does such a little backwardness mean?"
"Not bad."
"Although Chen Yuan is strong, he may not be able to defeat Zuo Chengzong."
The thunder that overflowed from Zuo Chengzong's body slowly dissipated, revealing his true appearance again. He turned to Chen Yuan and whispered:
"Brother Chen is a good man."
"It's just a small trick, but Brother Zuo's thunder skills are really extraordinary."
"It's just a humble means, not comparable to Brother Chen."
While the two were talking, Wei Wuya, the third one, also caught up. At this moment, he had already revealed many tricks, his eyes glowed with magic light, and his magic eyes showed his power.
Lines of demonic energy spread all over the body, like ancient formation lines.
"The three of you are worthy of being the four poles of hidden dragons in this world. They climbed to the top of the ladder in just a few moments." On the side, Fang Hongtai, the master of the Dengxian Pavilion, Huayang Zhenren, slowly fell from the void.
"I've met Senior Fang."
"I've met Senior Fang."
Chen Yuan cupped his fists and bowed.
They still respect the general owner of Dengxian Tower.
"Excuse me."
Fang Hongtai's attitude was very kind and he didn't put on any airs.
"I wonder why City Lord Ye used the ladder to select people this time?" Zuo Chengzong asked in a deep voice, seemingly a little confused.
From the process of climbing the ladder before, he could feel a big problem, that is, after just one trip to the ladder, it is probably impossible for most people to reach the top in one stick of incense.
It will wipe out a large number of people.
"The power of the city lord is unpredictable, and I dare not make any assumptions." Fang Hongtai smiled and did not answer directly.
In fact, he was not being vague on purpose, but he really didn't know what Ye Xiangnan was thinking. As the second person on the Supreme List, he was a peerless true king.
Ye Xiangnan is almost reaching the legendary sixth realm.
Even he can't see him casually.
A few people were talking when the fourth person who climbed to the top of the ladder appeared. To everyone's expectation, this person was not Xuan Ming from Qian Long Si Ji, but Bi, who had a low sense of presence from beginning to end. Daoxuansheng in the palace.
This person has been on the Qianlong List for a long time. He is almost similar to Zuo Chengzong, but he rarely appears in the world, and his achievements are even less.
So the ranking has not been high.
The fourth place to reach the top this time was beyond the expectations of many people.
The fifth person to reach the top is Xuan Ming.
The sixth person to climb to the top was Shushan Bai Changqing. When he was about to climb to the top from the last step, the sound of a sword, even though it was far apart,
Many people can also feel its edge.
The seventh person to reach the top is Wei Wuque, the prince of Northern Liang.
This person's speed has always been very even. Only when Ye was on the last step did he show some difficulty. The eighth person to reach the top was Yu Qingyan.
As for Furukawa, the first warrior to reach the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Ranking and ascend the Heavenly Ladder, he was ranked ninth.
In this way, he still went through thousands of hardships. Even though he couldn't feel it, anyone could see the difficulty, and even the slightest crack appeared on his body.
Blood stains soaked the flesh.
The tenth person to reach the top is a strange man who was previously ranked nineteenth and is also a high disciple of a certain sect of the Five Surnames and Seven Sects.
As for Chen Yuan's good brothers Shangguan Yu and Zhang Xuan, they have now reached the ninth level, but every step they take is extremely difficult, as if they are suffering huge pain.
At this moment, only one-fifth of the sacred incense on the top of the ladder was left.
Most of these top-level Qianlong List heroes are still on the ladder, and there is still a big gap between them and even the eighth level.
One can imagine how terrifying this ladder is.
It's all measured based on a person's potential and strength. Combat strength... is not included in this!
As time passed, more than ten figures stood on the top of the ladder. Zhang Xuan and Shangguan Yu finally climbed to the top with great energy before the sacred incense was about to burn out.
Fang Hongtai stroked his beard gently and said in a deep voice:
"The sacred incense burns to ashes, and the time of a stick of incense has passed. All heroes, please retreat."
At this moment, there are more than thirty people on the ladder, accounting for the vast majority of the people on the Hidden Dragon List. Their eyes are full of unwillingness, and the corners of their mouths are bitten, with traces of blood escaping.
"Senior Fang, give us another chance!"
"Yeah, I've come all the way here, how can I leave just like that?"
"Senior Fang, please have mercy!"
Such voices kept coming and going, pleading.
I am really unwilling to go back like this. In fact, most of them did not come here for the Immortal Fruit. As long as their minds are not full of water, they can know the gap between them and the top ten on the Hidden Dragon List.
Their original intention is to compete with strong men of the same level to hone themselves, so that in the future they can say that they are one step behind and have tried their best.
But what to say now?
They can't even pass the first level and will definitely become a laughing stock in the future.
Fang Hongtai remained unmoved. With a wave of his hand, the huge pressure on the ladder instantly dissipated:
"This matter is beyond my control. All heroes should go down and rest first."
After saying that, he ignored the pleas of those below, turned to look at Chen Yuan and the others, and said in a deep voice:
"The ladder to heaven is just the first level, and the next step is the real battle to ascend to immortality!"
After filtering out those masters with insufficient strength and potential, the remaining ones are the real Qianlong. After all, there are only a handful of people who can be on the Qianlong list. All of them combined, there are only fourteen people now.
Most of these people are closing their eyes and breathing out, refining the elixir.
They have already prepared for the battle to ascend to the immortal world, so naturally they have no shortage of such treasures.
"May I ask, senior, what are the rules of this battle?"
Fang Hongtai waved his hand, and fourteen futons flew out from his sleeves and hung in the void. There were some big word rankings on them. He said in a deep voice:
"Previous arena battles were too boring, so this time we have changed the rules. These rankings are determined according to the rankings on the ladder. You all naturally understand in your hearts.
You can sit cross-legged on the futon and challenge in order. If you don't dare to challenge, the futon will change the ranking. If you win, you can replace it. "new
"Um...can we fight in a group?"
"No, unless the invitee agrees."
Chen Yuan glanced at Furukawa inadvertently and asked in a deep voice:
"What will happen if we accidentally miss it?"
"No matter life or death!"
Chen Yuan nodded slightly, then took a step forward, sat cross-legged on the futon ranked first, and looked forward. At this moment, he was not climbing upwards, but as long as he stayed until the end, the Immortal Fruit would naturally be his.
As soon as he moved, the remaining people also began to move, and they were positioned on the ring. The warriors watching the battle below began to become restless.
In contrast, naturally it is the confrontation between these masters at the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking that makes them watch the battle more.
Fang Hongtai was also cross-legged in the void, quietly watching the situation in the void, and before the real battle to ascend to immortality began, the masters of the alchemy realm in Invincible City and even the real person Huayang began to appear.
The first one is naturally the Prisoner of Heaven Demon Lord Song Zhilun.
After that, real people from the Gu family, Shushan Sword Immortal, and real people from other top forces or immortal sects also began to appear, and most of them were alchemy realm masters.
A rough check revealed that there were more than ten people, including many strong ones on the prestigious list.
As for Zhenren Huayang, there are only a few of them.
Most of the people present had strong men coming to protect them. Even people from the Shangguan clan came, but they were not real people, but just masters.
The Shangguan clan only has one real person on the surface, so it is natural that he has to sit in the family's important position.
The first challenger was Lingxiao Zong Xu Jing, a former top ten master on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. He was the last one to climb to the top of the ladder, ranking last.
The challenge was none other than Zhang Xuan!
The battle to reach immortality kicked off, and Zhang Xuan and Xu Jing started a battle, which was quite fierce, but because Zhang Xuan was still a little short of the Heavenly Palace, his cultivation level was a little worse than Xu Jing's.
In the end, I could only regret losing and ranking at the bottom.
"Brother Zhang, I accept it!"
Xu Jing cupped his fists and raised his hands.
He knew very well that in terms of potential, he was not as good as Zhang Xuan, otherwise he would not be lagging behind, but the most important thing in the battle to ascend to immortality was strength.
"Brother Xu has extraordinary strength. You and I will fight again in the future."
"good!"
Neither of them said anything harsh, and there was no grudge against them, Ji-->>

Basically, even if there is a fight, one or two will be spared unless the fight reaches the point where one has to give in.
After Zhang Xuan and Xu Jing took their seats, Shangguan Yu stood up, stood in the void and pointed directly at the ancient river, saying:
"Furuhe, you dare to fight!"
Their rankings in the process of climbing the ladder are not much different, so Shangguan Yu also wants to fight with him. His previous opponent Yun Han died at the hands of Chen Yuan.
The only person he has a grudge against among the five great families is Furukawa.
Of course, the deeper reason was also because he felt that Furukawa was hostile to Chen Yuan, and with the addition of old and new grudges, it was time to take revenge.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Furukawa's mouth:
"It's up to you!"
"Just me."
With a sneer, Gu He stared at Shangguan Yu:
"Okay, then I'll make it happen for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Furukawa took a step forward. No one acted as a referee, and the confrontation began immediately. A long sword rose from behind him, and the sword energy soared into the sky and rushed towards Shangguan Yu.
The other party's response was to sweep across with a long spear, and two iron rod-like things behind him were merged into one, and a cold light suddenly rose from the tip of the spear, like a dragon pointing out.
"boom!!!"
Heat waves swept through the void, and vitality collided.
Furukawa's swordsmanship was extraordinary, and in Chen Yuan's eyes, he was even as good as Bai Changqing before him. He turned into swords and dragons in the void, while Shangguan Yu opened and closed with a spear in his hand.
"Yuanjian!"
Furukawa formed a seal in his hand, and an illusory spiritual sword exploded instantly.
Shangguan Yu shouted sharply:
"A hundred birds pay homage to the phoenix!"
A blue bird instantly condensed and clashed with the illusory spirit sword.
This is almost the first time that Chen Yuan has seen Shangguan Yu take action. His strength is indeed extraordinary. It was normal for him to be in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Ranking before. There are absolutely few opponents at the same level.
But it was obvious that he was still far worse against Furukawa. The condensed blue birds were scattered, and the fight lasted only ten seconds, and the evenly matched situation suddenly took a turn for the worse.
Furukawa didn't test it, and he didn't hold back.
As soon as he made a move, he attacked with all his strength. He knew that Shangguan Yu was not his opponent, but he obviously didn't go for Shangguan Yu, but for Chen Yuan.
It is well known in the world that Shangguan Yu has a good relationship with Chen Yuan. He secretly hates Chen Yuan in his heart, but he knows that he is not strong enough, so now he vents all his anger on Shangguan Yu.
In fact, even if Shangguan Yu didn't challenge him, he would use words to bully the other party and force him to challenge.
The humiliation Chen Yuan had given him on the roof of Dengxian Tower and Yu Qingyan's words that deeply hurt him had already been resented by him, and he wanted to pay them back one day.
But it's okay to hold this anger in my heart, it must be vented.
Shangguan Yu was the one who vented his anger.
In the void, the two sides were fighting fiercely, and the sword light spread all around a hundred feet away. The endless methods of both sides made the warriors watching the battle below revel in their excitement.
After a hundred breaths of fighting, Shangguan Yu's aura began to wane, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashed, and he wanted to retreat. Seeing this, Gu He smiled coldly:
"How dare you provoke me with just this little trick? What a waste. I heard that you have a pretty good-looking sister. I wonder... if Gu goes to propose marriage, your father will agree or not."
"you wanna die!"
Shangguan Yu was immediately angered. Shangguan Hong and his compatriots had a deep relationship, so they naturally wanted her to find a good home, but Furukawa obviously didn't.
The other party must pay the price in blood for humiliating him like this.
"Shocking thorn!"
Shangguan Yu roared angrily, and used the method of pressing the bottom of the box. Qi and blood began to gather around his body, and a green spear phantom condensed behind him, reaching a height of more than ten feet.
With terrifying power escaping, the surrounding heaven and earth energy quickly began to gather.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Kohe's mouth, as if he was disdainful, but a look of solemnity flashed in his eyes. He made a gesture with his sword fingers, and the top-quality spiritual sword in the void began to transform.
One divided into two, two turned into four, four turned into eight, eight divided into sixteen, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with sword energy.
"fall!"
"kill!"
Infinite sword energy rushed down from the sky, and a spear faced everything.
"boom!!!"
The roar of explosions exploded in the void. Under the gathering of various sword energies, the long spear condensed by Shangguan Yu directly shattered, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of old blood.
But Gu He was not sure to let him go, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes, he pointed out his sword, and the remaining sword energy rushed straight towards Shangguan Yu.
The body-protecting Gang Qi was shattered, and sword Qi drew bloodstains all over Shangguan Yu's body. Some of the void sword Qi even penetrated him directly.
With unequal strength, the winner can be determined in the blink of an eye.
Shangguan Yu's strength is still inferior after all.
"puff!"
Shangguan Yu's left chest was penetrated by the sword energy, and the bones were visible in his flesh. His body looked like broken porcelain, and traces of blood emerged from his body. Zhang Xuan frowned and looked at Chen Yuan.
Shangguan Hong, who was watching the battle below, couldn't help shouting: "Brother."
But she didn't dare to take action, because there were rules in the immortal battle. If she dared to intervene directly, Fang Hongtai would definitely not stand idly by. Besides, he had said before that it didn't matter whether he was alive or dead.
The alchemy master of the Shangguan clan could not help but said sharply:
"Gu He, if you dare to kill someone, I, the Shangguan clan, will fight your Gu family until death!"
Although the Shangguan clan is not as good as the Gu family, it is still a top force. Even if it is different, it will not be too different. I can tolerate small things.
But if the legitimate son of the Shangguan clan was killed, it would be impossible to endure.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to gain a foothold in the world!
Master Huayang from the Gu family sneered:
"The Shangguan family's tone is quite serious. I would like to see how your Shangguan clan is fighting against my Gu family."
Furukawa above didn't care at all, and sword energy fell suddenly, severely injuring Shangguan Yu.
Chen Yuan, who was at the top, narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
Zuo Chengzong and Wei Wuya on the side took a deep look at Chen Yuan and continued to observe the situation on the battlefield.
Shangguan Yu took out a sealed weapon from his arms, wiped out the surging sword energy, used up his last strength, and said loudly:
"I'll admit defeat!"
The rule of the immortal battle is indeed life or death, but that is limited to the kind of life and death battle that is not much different. If you miss for a moment, it is normal.
But generally if one party admits defeat, the other party will not continue to fight.
Sure enough, after Shangguan Yu roared this sound, the always arrogant Fang Hongtai waved his hand, and a powerful force directly protected Shangguan Yu.
Gu He looked down at Shangguan Yu, glanced at Chen Yuan inadvertently, and said with a smile:
"Brother Shangguan, I accept the offer."
Shangguan Yu's face was gloomy and his breath was very weak. He quickly took out a pill and put it into his mouth to suppress the injury without answering.
The situation in the field was silent for a moment. Furukawa chuckled lightly, looked back and sat down directly.
Chen Yuan's eyes remained calm, as if it had nothing to do with him.
After Gu He retreated, Bai Changqing stood up slowly, looked at Chen Yuan and said:
"Brother Chen, it has been several months since the last battle, and Bai wants to fight again."
The Immortal Fruit can only be obtained by ranking first in the Hidden Dragon Ranking. The other rankings are of little use. Bai Changqing does not value these false names and only wants to fight Chen Yuan.
"You are no match for me."
"I hope Brother Chen will accept the challenge." Bai Changqing cupped his hands and clasped his fists.
Chen Yuan's eyes drowsily turned to Furukawa:
"Chen knows that you are resentful, so I will give you a chance today to join forces with Bai Changqing. Chen will accept the challenge."
Hearing these words, Gu He's face instantly darkened. Chen Yuan was completely insulting him now. I'm afraid he was also trying to avenge Shangguan Yu. Naturally, he couldn't accept the challenge and said coldly:
"To deal with you, there is no need to join forces with Brother Bai. If you want to fight, just fight another day."
Yu Qingyan's ear twitched, he hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"Brother Chen, since Mr. Gu is unwilling to fight, why bother to invite him? Mr. Gu has just fought with Mr. Shangguan and must not have recovered yet. Besides, Brother Chen is ranked first, so how can Mr. Gu be his opponent? I think... ..No, if you really want to fight, how about I let you fight on behalf of Mr. Gu?"
"you...."
Furukawa's face turned green and white. He naturally refused Chen Yuan's invitation to fight, but Yu Qingyan's words directly put him on the fire. What do you mean he is not an opponent?
What does it mean for Yu Qingyan to fight for him?
If word spreads, how will he face Yu Qingyan and Jianghu in the future?
But Chen Yuan was indeed a strong opponent. He knew that he was no match. Thinking of this, he hesitated for a moment and held in his hand a talisman of the master's peak strike.
I thought to myself:
"Even if you are not your opponent, there is still no problem if you can hold on for a while. At worst, you can just admit defeat after a few confrontations. Losing to him will not damage your reputation."
"If you are lucky enough to win..."
"Why does Fairy Yu need to fight? Since Chen Qingshi is so arrogant, then Gu Mou will fight. I just hope that Chen Qingshi will not regret it."
"It's just a discussion, why regret it?"
"Okay, then Gu will fight you!"
Furukawa accepted the challenge, and Chen Yuan's lips curved into a sneer and subtle murderous intent. The opportunity... was finally here!
Bai Changqing stood in the void, facing Chen Yuan directly and said:
"Brother Chen, please!"
Furukawa smiled faintly:
"I have long heard that the Qing Envoy has extraordinary methods, and today Gu needs to see what he is doing."
Chen Yuan showed a warm smile:
"You guys, come together!"

It's a little late, so I present this 5,600-word chapter. I've been out of shape for the past few days, and I'm feeling a little unwell, with some diarrhea.
In addition, don’t keep reading books. The pursuit of success is the driving force for new updates.
No one is watching, the stone is not powerful enough!
