Chapter 40: Who is Number One?

  "Absolutely impossible for him?" Old Dragon looked at the top ten names on the list, scanning them one by one, and fell into deep thought. The old man with a goat beard saw this and shook his head, looking at the list, but he didn't look at the top ten names, instead he looked at the names after the tenth place.

  He scanned from eleventh place to one hundredth place, but the more he looked, the more puzzled he became.

  At this time, Long Jing Tian in the ancient city ruins did not know that the outside world had already turned upside down.

  In mid-air, Longyin Tian's fist once again sent Gu Yan flying. Gu Yan's chest caved in, but when he activated "War God Descends Upon the Body", using the power transmitted by the ancient war god, his caved-in chest returned to normal.

  Long Jing furrowed his brow, at this rate, they wouldn't be able to kill Gu Yan even if they wanted to.

  The ancient bronze war god body is indeed a bit of trouble.

  "Dragon Engine Heaven!" Gu Yan looked at Dragon Engine Heaven with a smile that was somewhat ferocious: "Heh heh, you can try to kill me, come on over, I'll just stand here and let you try, I possess the Ancient Bronze War God Body, I have the protection of the Primordial War God, you basically can't kill me!"

  "I am Gu Yan, the unparalleled demon!"

  "I'm the one who came first in this Imperial Palace examination!"

  The ancient voice was stern and severe, pointing at the dragon that held up the sky: "This time, you can't kill me. After the assessment is over and we leave the ancient city ruins, I will make you understand the fear of death, let you fall into endless despair, and I will slowly torture you to death!"

  Long Jing Tian looked at Gu Yan who had somewhat lost his rationality and let out a cold laugh.

  "Peerless demon, ancient bronze war god body?" Long Jing Tian's eyes flashed with cold light, and then the light in his hand flashed, Gu Yan discovered that Long Jing Tian had an extra sword in his hand!

  A sword with a whole body of red, like blood burning!

  The Green Sword.

  Gu Yan sneered coldly, "Hmph! You think you can kill me with just that broken sword? Unless you possess one of the legendary top ten divine swords!"

  "Is that so?" Long Jing Tian's expression was indifferent, his right hand raised the Bi Xue Sword, true energy poured in, and the entire Bi Xue Sword radiated a brilliant light, waves of sword energy shot up into the sky, casting a reddish glow over the surrounding high altitudes.

  The Green Sword trembled incessantly.

  "Green Blood in the Sky!"

  Only then did the Green Sword escape from Long Tian's hand, its sword energy bursting forth, countless sword energies forming a sword dragon, a blood-red sword dragon.

  Green blood fills the sky, dragon's roar echoes for ten miles!

  The distant disciple felt his soul trembling.

  Gu Yan looked at the Blood Red Sword Dragon rushing towards him, although it was still hundreds of meters away, but the astonishing sword energy pierced through, he found that his proud ancient bronze war god body was actually cracking open layer by layer!

  No mistake, like the cracked earth, one by one, the bloodstains are shocking.

  As the Blood Red Sword Dragon drew closer and closer, he actually felt the footsteps of death approaching step by step.

  His eyes widened in infinite terror.

  But just as the Blood Red Sword Dragon was about to strangle him, suddenly, his entire body burst forth with a fierce golden light, and then, Gu Yan disappeared into thin air.

  "Long Jing Tian, I refuse to accept it! How could my ancient clan possibly lose to you!" A furious voice came from the endless void: "You wait for me, this feud, I will definitely avenge!"

  In mid-air, a jade pendant fell down.

  Long Jing Tian took over and saw that it was Gu Yan's jade token.

  However, he was not surprised because in the end Gu Yan did not die.

  "Not resigned? Then I'll wait." Long Jing Tian sneered, actually he had already expected that Gu Yan might have some life-saving charms on him, and the Gu family still had the high-ranking officials of the Martial God Temple to prevent any accidents, it was impossible for Gu Yan to die in these ancient city ruins.

  Long Jing Tian's left hand grasped and crushed the ancient jade token of Gu Yan.

  The jade medal on his body suddenly burst into intense light.

  The main hall of Zixiao Palace was in an uproar.

  Everyone was shocked and didn't dare to believe it.

  "Look, Gu Yan, Gu Yan's name is broken!"

  "It's gone, completely disappeared! Gu Yan really lost!"

  Only the two characters "Gu Yan" that had always been at the top of the list burst open like a balloon, emitting a crisp cracking sound. This sound was so clear.

  Tens of thousands of disciples felt an uncontrollable tremble in their hearts, endless loss.

  Then, tens of thousands of disciples involuntarily looked at Lao Qiang, who was ranked second.

  "Gu Yan has lost, so this Lou Qiang is the first place in this assessment!"

  "I didn't expect that Lou Qiang's strength is actually stronger than Gu Yan, but Lou Qiang is an old senior from the previous two sessions, a great martial artist at the seventh peak, and it's normal for him to get first place in this session's assessment."

  However, tens of thousands of disciples saw that the name Lou Qiang, who was ranked second, did not make any moves and remained green. Just as everyone felt strange, a name suddenly appeared at the very front of the list.

  A name unfamiliar to them!

  "Long live the Emperor!"

  This name, came so suddenly, but it's so dazzling!

  These three words were as red as jade blood, illuminating the entire grand hall, shining brightly.

  This name quietly floated at the top of the list.

  All eyes on!

  Tens of thousands of disciples were stunned there, momentarily bewildered, unable to react, and stood stupidly.

  "Dragon, Dragon Engine Heaven, who is this? How can it be Dragon Engine Heaven?!" Suddenly, a disciple shouted in shock, he couldn't bear the "blow".

  "Long Jing Tian? Could it be that black-haired kid?"

  Although most of the disciples did not know who Long Jing Tian was, some of the disciples who were aware of the previous conflict between Long Jing Tian and Gu Yan still knew.

  "Black-haired little boy?!"

  At this moment, all the disciples around looked at the disciple who had spoken up.

  For a moment, the entire hall fell into great shock and doubt, with everyone inquiring about Long Jing Tian's situation from those around them.

  Zixiao Peak emptiness.

  The old man with a goat beard was also shocked: "It's actually this Long Jing Tian?"

  Earlier, he also noticed Long Jing Tian, who was ranked twelfth on the list, but didn't think much of it.

  "Long Jing Tian?" The old dragon repeated it once.

  "Haha, Old Master Long, I didn't expect that your disciple Gu Yan would actually be defeated by this young whippersnapper named Long Jing Tian!" The old man with the goat-like beard laughed and pinched his chin whiskers, chuckling: "How interesting! I'm quite interested in this young Long Jing Tian. Just right, it's been several hundred years since I last took on a disciple. This time, you can't compete with me for him either!"

  The old dragon's face sank, and he grunted without speaking a word.

  Compared to the crowd in the Zixiao Palace, the disciples of the ancient city ruins who witnessed Gu Yan being defeated by Long Tian were even more shocked, and their hearts were all stirred up with shockwaves.

  From the very beginning, Gu Yin had been at a disadvantage with his ancient bronze war god body!

  If it weren't for the last ancient Wan having a life-saving spirit symbol, then there would only be one outcome, and that is death!

  Death!

  They recalled the blood-red sword dragon from before and their hearts trembled with fear.

  They looked up at the figure in mid-air, that devil-like silhouette. Was this really the black-haired kid they had thought would lose miserably and wouldn't last two minutes against Guan Yu?
