Chapter 2444 - 1938: Ranking Battle – First Match!

The first update, asking for subscriptions and votes~~~...

A small bottle of Snowflake Jade Dew, although it only has a few drops, at a critical moment it can save your life...

Qin Fang has a special physique, as long as he has enough Blood Replenishing Pills, he can quickly recover from even the most severe injuries... Only in extremely rare situations does he need to use elixirs like Snowflake Jade Dew.

No need right now, so Qin Fang just hides the elixir for now... After all, it was acquired from Qing Xu Lao Dao, so he doesn't feel any psychological burden using it.

Having secured a spot for the Kunlun Sect, he has already made a great contribution. Rewarding him with a few elixirs is already quite stingy.

The martial arts competition continues as usual. Although Qin Fang and others have clearly sensed something different, it's something for those old monsters above to worry about; there's no need for newcomers like them to get involved.

At most, they just report the information they've gathered, and get some benefits from the sect in return.

For instance, after everyone arrived at the Sea of Heartlessness, Qin Fang and the other contestants were preparing for the upcoming fierce battle... while Ye Xiang sneaked over to whisper with Pan Yi, clearly intending to identify and root out the "traitor" lurking within Tianwai Tower.

Pan Yi might not know that person could be from the Evil Sect, but Ye Xiang could guess. After their meeting, Pan Yi took the opportunity to point out the Tianwai Tower disciple he saw that night.

Of course, Ye Xiang couldn't be absolutely sure about that junior brother just based on Pan Yi's identification... His next task is to keep an eye on that guy to find some clues.

If he can find evidence of this person colluding with the Evil Sect, then don't blame Ye Xiang for disregarding their fellow brotherhood...

In ordinary times, minor issues wouldn't lead Ye Xiang to take such actions, but this isn't a minor issue; it's a big matter involving the honor of the sect... As the leading sect of the Righteous Alliance, especially the top sect among the Five Great Sects, Tianwai Tower absolutely cannot allow such traitors to exist.

If Emperor Shi Wanxie is the spiritual leader and supreme force of the Evil Sect and if the Tianxie Sect is the leading sect of the Evil Sect, then Tianwai Tower and Emperor Chu Kuangren occupy the same identity, status, and weight of role.

Any appearance of a traitor in Tianwai Tower selling out the sect's interests or colluding with the Evil Sect is a serious crime and a slap in the face to the Emperor Kuang. This is something no Tianwai Tower disciple can tolerate, even if it means infighting, the traitor must be removed!

These matters are not Qin Fang's concern and have nothing to do with him, as he is busy with the next battle ahead of him.

All six seed players have appeared, advancing to the top six, and now the official rank battles are about to begin...

"I wonder who my first opponent will be?"

Qin Fang glanced over there, and essentially, the other five people have all arrived... In the rank battles, even though it seems that it only needs three battles to determine the first place, actually, the remaining two also have the right to challenge.

In other words, for Qin Fang to take first place, he may need to defeat all five of these opponents...

Of course, if Qin Fang's strength is strong enough, like Li Wuhua, the others will basically concede after losing, then he can win first place with just three battles.

However, the likelihood of that happening is not very high...

Therefore, this opponent is quite important too...

If he happens to face Li Wuhua in the first match, then Qin Fang will really have a headache. Li Wuhua is the most powerful contestant of this competition. Being able to defeat him almost guarantees the first place... but Qin Fang knows well that this requires a huge price.

Even if he defeats Li Wuhua, he might sustain severe injuries himself, and in the subsequent battles, others could take advantage and defeat him... making it not worth the trade-off.

"Sigh, the best first opponent would be..."

Qin Fang's gaze lingered over the few people for a moment and finally stopped on Dragon Saliva Dharma King... because among these five people, this guy is the weakest.

Moreover, that guy had held a grudge against Qin Fang before, and Qin Fang wanted to handle him long ago.

Furthermore, Qin Fang had made a bet with that guy...

Currently, both of them have the same record, entering the top six with six wins each... Now, the rank battle will determine the true outcome between them.

"Kunlun Sect's Qin Fang versus Esoteric Dragon Elephant Dharma King!"

Just as Qin Fang was deep in thought, the drawing result for the top six rank battles was announced, and when Qin Fang heard this, he broke into an extremely bright smile, his eyes scanning towards Dragon Elephant Dharma King in the distance.

Coincidentally, the Dragon Elephant Dharma King looked over towards Qin Fang at that moment, and the two men's gazes intersected. From each other's eyes, they could see a fierce fighting spirit... Clearly, both were impatient.

Some were happy... Qin Fang, some were worried... Monk Wu Fa!

Last night, while drinking together, Monk Wu Fa prayed to Buddha, hoping for some luck with the draw today.

Sure enough, he drew a top sign today... However, this "top" wasn't "excellent," but rather a "trap"! He unfortunately drew Li Wuhua, the most abnormal out of the six.

"Alas, my condolences..."

When Qin Fang walked past Monk Wu Fa, he couldn't help but mutter, nearly causing Monk Wu Fa to pull out his precept knife and swing at Qin Fang... But clearly, Qin Fang wasn't the first to do this. His twin brother, Monk Wu Tian, also came over and gloatingly muttered, but was kicked away by Monk Wu Fa.

Obviously, nobody wanted to face Li Wuhua in the first match...

Before Qin Fang appeared, Monk Wu Fa's strength was considered second only to Li Wuhua, ranking him as the second-highest among the five... If he still drew that sign, it would equate to the decisive battle kicking off in the first ranked match.

However, with Qin Fang's appearance, the battle between Monk Wu Fa and Li Wuhua could no longer be considered a prelude to the "decisive battle."

Qin Fang versus the Dragon Elephant Dharma King, Li Wuhua versus Monk Wu Fa, Monk Wu Tian versus Leng Bingbing... This was the first round of the ranked matches, involving three battles that tugged at the heartstrings of hundreds from the Five Great Sects.

The crowd of hundreds almost quickly split into several groups, with the arena for Li Wuhua and Monk Wu Fa being the most crowded, followed by the duel between Qin Fang and the Dragon Elephant Dharma King... whereas the duel between Monk Wu Tian and Leng Bingbing, which should have been quite prominent, had the fewest spectators.

Of course, simultaneously, there were competitions among the other twenty-four contestants from the tournament finals... Unfortunately, they were destined to be supporting characters, and those who went to watch them were few and far between.

If it weren't for the necessity to fight to decide rankings, and if the judges didn't have to enforce rulings, probably all these people would have run over to watch... The ranking battles for the top six are equivalent to the highest-level duels for this age group, missing them would be quite regretful.

Qin Fang was too busy to watch others' duels; he walked towards his designated arena.

At the same time, the Dragon Elephant Dharma King also stepped onto the arena, his entire essence, energy, and spirit heightened to an extreme... Compared to Qin Fang's tumultuous path to the top six, the Dragon Elephant Dharma King had a much easier time, so Qin Fang had sustained some injuries, whereas the Dragon Elephant Dharma King had adjusted his fighting spirit to its pinnacle.

This duel was equivalent to a slightly weakened Qin Fang facing a peak-strength Dragon Elephant Dharma King... This caused many to sweat nervously for Qin Fang.

Even though Qin Fang had already proved his formidable strength over the previous six matches, he hadn't demonstrated that he was beyond the Dragon Elephant Dharma King's strength, and now with injuries... His chances of winning were considerably reduced.

"Alas, this kid is going to play dirty again..."

Only those who knew Qin Fang well, like Jian Qingfeng and Monk Wukong, understood Qin Fang's thoughts at this moment.

"This time, I'll make you regret what you did back then..."

The Dragon Elephant Dharma King, with a grim expression and a cold tone, shouted angrily, looking at Qin Fang with eyes filled with flames of anger, his fists were already tightly clenched. But since the referee hadn't announced the start of the duel, he still exercised great restraint.

"What did I do?"

Qin Fang, with a smile, asked, seeming quite confused.

"You..."

The Dragon Elephant Dharma King suddenly felt as if he had punched a cotton ball, giving him a sense of internal suffocation... He should retreat and practice for several more years if he wants to verbally gain an advantage over Qin Fang!

"Fight begins!"

The referee presiding over this duel also gave Qin Fang a strange look, but still announced the start of the fight... These two contestants were obviously like spears against a shield, he couldn't wait to see their duel, so much so that he skipped all the rules explanations and directly announced the start of the fight.

"Hah!!"

The Dragon Elephant Dharma King had long been prepared, his True Qi erupted violently, a terrifying aura rippled from his body, and the sense of strength became increasingly apparent... The Dragon Elephant Dharma King's muscles, resembling writhing dragons, collided with each other, faintly emitting sounds of dragon's roar and tiger's howl.

This was the effect of cultivating the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill to an extremely remarkable level... From this, it's evident that the Dragon Elephant Dharma King's cultivation was far from simple; his esteemed position in the Esoteric Sect wasn't achieved by mere luck!

Even Qin Fang, upon sensing this terrifying power, had his expression change to one of unprecedented seriousness... (To be continued.
