chapter 974 huang yun's aura
staring at the kneeling wei guoyang, fan de smiled and patted his shoulder before he said in a disappointed voice
''senior brother wei, it seemed that i overestimated you. i was hoping you'd be able to last at least an hour, but you couldn't even endure for thirty minutes? i'm surprised you managed to even hold onto 4th place for so long with this strength of yours.''
then, fan de shook his head and turned around as he walked away, thoroughly ignoring the charred peak-stage dao emperor who was now lying underneath his feet.
the surrounding dao kings and dao emperors narrowed their eyes when they saw wei guoyang's condition, unable to believe what they saw.
the previously majestic heir to the ancient wei family had now fallen to his knees, his luxurious red robes completely destroyed, while his chiseled body was now filled with countless burn marks.
nobody had expected for one of the strongest geniuses of the eight ancient families to be reduced to such a state. let alone in just half an hour!
curiously, shun long turned to look at the slab of stone next to the purple-robed old man, but he already knew the scene he was going to witness.
indeed, a moment later, the gigantic slab of stone that depicted the 'heavenly rankings' started to change as wei guoyang's name in 4th place was quickly replaced by fan de's. however, wei guoyang wasn't merely pushed a spot down the rankings as people had expected, but instead it fell all the way down to 9th place in one go!
eventually, one of the surrounding dao emperors could no longer hold back his surprise, turning to the old man at the peak of the mountain and asking
''senior, is there something wrong with the 'heavenly rankings'? why is wei guoyang's name in 9th place? even if he lost to fan de, shouldn't he be ranked in 5th place, at least?'' surprisingly, the person who had asked this question was the dao emperor that was now ranked 5th, the heir to the ancient chen family, chen xuefeng!
the purple-robed overseer stared at him for a few moments, before eventually shaking his head and answering in a playful manner
surprisingly, 'young lady niu' didn't hesitate as she bowed to the old man and answered
''i've already made my choice senior.'' then, without waiting for a response, young lady niu took a few steps forward, stopping in front of an extremely handsome young man with long black hair that reached all the way to his waist.
the handsome youth frowned slightly when he saw niu rong appearing in front of him, but the white-robed woman didn't seem to care as she extended her jade-like hand and pointed at him before she said calmly
''huang yun, let's have a rematch!''
narrowing his eyes, the young master of the ancient huang family no longer held back, the terrifying aura of a peak-stage dao king bursting out of his body as he looked at her and said dissatisfiedly
''you already lost to me badly half a year ago, and yet you still want to challenge me again? are you really that foolish or do you think that i'm afraid to kill you just because you are old freak gao's disciple?''
as he finished speaking, the aura around huang yun's body started to become even more heavy and pronounced, soon filling the entire mountain peak as he looked at niu rong with a gaze filled with unrestrained killing intent.
it was one thing for niu rong to challenge him back in the 'endless plains' of the 'city of immortals' half a year ago, but for her to do it again while they were in the seventh trial? huang yun was no longer going to hold back!
his targets were shun long and xuan bo, the ones ranked 1st and 2nd in the 'heavenly rankings'.
how could he bother with a weakling like niu rong whom he had already trampled under his feet just six months ago?!
at the same time, shun long who was sitting casually on the ground watching over jiang chen's recovery, couldn't help but turn to look at the distant huang yun after sensing his aura.
for the first time in a while, another peak-stage dao king had actually drawn his attention.
