C1099 Two Against One
"Ignorant! What a fool! Does he think that Shao Chen is on the same level as the Scion of the Blood God?"
"If he goes up like this, he's just sending himself to his death. With the Blood God's strength, it won't be hard for him to kill him. Just a finger is enough to kill him easily."
On the Dao Verification Stairway, all the cultivators started to discuss. Almost all of them felt that Ling Jian was seeking his own death.
Even the top geniuses didn't dare to challenge the Blood God, so how could Ling Jian possibly have the strength to challenge the Blood God?
"Is this guy really crazy?"
Corpse Mountain looked at Ling Jian and felt as if he couldn't think straight.
Lei Shan still didn't say anything, but in his heart, he was thinking the same thing as Shi Shan.
Huo Jun and Yin Huan were both stunned. They didn't expect Ling Jian to have such a responsibility.
At the edge of the ladder, Zhao Qiansong and the other cultivators who came from the east were all stunned.
They had never thought that Ling Jian would actually challenge the Scion of the Blood God, who was most likely the number one genius under the Saint level in the entire Grand Culmination Sky!
"Why is he challenging the Scion of the Blood God now?"
Even the seven late-stage Saints outside the Pathfinder Stairs didn't expect this to happen.
The old woman from the Fire County started to laugh disdainfully after being stunned for a while.
"That thing that doesn't know life from death dares to challenge the Blood God."
The old woman laughed coldly at this moment. Although she was furious that Ling Jian had killed Shao Chen, it would be good news if Ling Jian died in the hands of the Scion of the Blood God.
At this moment, the only ones around the Dao Confirming Stairs who were worried about Ling Jian's safety were Nalan Yanran and Nalan Mingyue.
Both of them looked at Ling Jian at this moment. When they saw Ling Jian walk out, their faces immediately revealed a great shock.
"Ling Jian, are you crazy?"
Nalan Mingyue didn't even care that they were on the Dao Verification Stairway as she shouted at Ling Jian.
Nalan Yanran's expression was extremely anxious. She hurriedly opened her mouth and said, "Ling Jian, hurry up and come back."
"The Blood God Child is not someone you can challenge."
"Come back quickly."
Ling Jian turned his head around and smiled at Nalan Yanran and Nalan Mingyue.
At the same time, a trace of gratitude was born in Ling Jian's heart. Only the two sisters would truly care about him in the future.
At the center of the Dao Confirming Stage, the Blood God's face was filled with a dark expression.
On one hand, it was because of Ling Jian's challenge. In his eyes, Ling Jian was only a late stage Heavenly Punishment cultivator. To challenge him was a great humiliation.
No matter what, he was still the strongest cultivator below the Saint level. Since when did a late stage Heavenly Punishment cultivator have the right to challenge him?
As for the second reason, it was because of how much Nalan Yanran cared about Ling Jian.
It could sense that Nalan Yanran's feelings for Ling Jian had definitely exceeded the boundaries of ordinary friends. Although it was not to the point of developing into a couple, it still caused the Scion of the Blood God to feel extremely uncomfortable.
After all, in his heart, he had long since viewed Nalan Yanran as one of his own. Now that Ling Jian had intervened, this was clearly crossing the line.
However, he naturally could not say such a thing out loud. However, the gaze he used to look at Ling Jian was filled with killing intent.
"You? What makes you think you can challenge me? Tell me your name!"
The Blood God suppressed the anger in his heart as he looked at Ling Jian and spoke in an incomparably low voice.
Ling Jian also turned around and looked at the Blood God. "Ling Jian!"
The Blood God was silent for a moment before asking, "Are you also a cultivator from the easternmost city?"
In his opinion, since Ling Jian was so familiar with Nalan Yanran, he was definitely a cultivator from the easternmost region, just like Nalan Yanran.
"No."
However, what surprised the Blood God was that Ling Jian shook his head and said, "I am a cultivator from the Eastern Sky."
"What? You are from the Eastern Sky?"
The Blood God's heart shook.
The other cultivators around the Dao Verification Ladder were all stunned.
The East Sky?
This Ling Jian was actually a cultivator from the East Sky?
They clearly remembered that Wang Dalu was from the West Sky.
They didn't expect that Ling Jian, who was planning to challenge the Blood God's Son, would come from the East Tai Sky.
Soon, all the cultivators on the Pathfinder Stairs had strange expressions on their faces. Ling Jian and Wang Dalu were the two most brilliant black horses on the Pathfinder Stairs.
Furthermore, they had both challenged the Blood God.
Although their cultivation and strength were different, their backgrounds were indeed shocking.
"First, it was Wang Dalu from the West Tai-Tian, and then it was Ling Jian from the East Tai-Tian. I didn't expect that these two figures would get the limelight before me."
"Wang Dalu has already been defeated by the Blood God. I wonder what will happen to Ling Jian next."
"The final result? Hehe, if he can survive from the Blood God Son with his cultivation, he won't be simple."
"That's true. Wang Da Lu is at least at the Half-Step Saint Realm, and he has dragon scales protecting his body. However, this Ling Jian hasn't even reached the Half-Step Saint Realm yet. If the Scion of the Blood God really wants to kill him, he only needs one move to kill him."
Everyone on the Dao Verification Stairs started to discuss.
Many of them had already treated Ling Jian as the second king.
The Blood God looked at Ling Jian. He obviously didn't expect that Ling Jian wasn't a cultivator from the Grand Middle Sky either.
"What? Can you accept my challenge now?"
Ling Jian looked at the Blood God Son and said.
The killing intent in the Scion of the Blood God's eyes flashed, but at this moment, another voice sounded in front of him.
"Blood God, there's some enmity between Ling Jian and me. Why don't you let me challenge him this time?"
"Blood God, let me fight this battle."
Two words that seemed to have the same meaning resounded at this moment. The brows of the Scion of the Blood God were slightly raised at this moment. He turned his head and looked over. He saw the figures of Yin Huan and Huo Jun walking out at the same time from a short distance away.
Neither Yin Huan nor Huo Jun had expected them to do such a thing. They looked at each other with surprise, then at the Scion of the Blood God.
Everyone else on the Dao Verification Stairs was stunned.
No matter Yin Huan or Huo Jun, both of them were the most talented figures on the Dao Verification Ladder. However, they both showed up because of Ling Jian.
Although the cultivators were surprised by the coincidence, they didn't feel surprised at all.
Before this, when they were on the stairs, Yin Huan had already attacked Ling Jian. Although he only used thirty percent of his power, it was still blocked by Ling Jian. Even so, it still made Yin Huan's face pale.
Especially towards the end, Yin Huan directly started to lecture Ling Jian, but Ling Jian directly ignored his words, which made Yin Huan even angrier. The enmity between him and Ling Jian became deeper and deeper.
As for the Fire Country, needless to say, Ling Jian had killed the young city lord of the Fire Country in front of the Fire Country. The Fire Country was the strongest person who had come to participate in the Dao Validation Assembly. It was reasonable for them to want to fight Ling Jian and avenge Shao Chen.
"Both of you want to fight against Ling Jian."
The Blood God's Son turned his head toward Yin Huan and Huo Yun and asked.
Both Yin Huan and Huo Yun nodded their heads seriously.
The Blood God frowned slightly and said, "In this Dao Verification Assembly, only one person can attack at a time."
Now that someone wanted to help him, the Scion was naturally happy about it. However, both Yin Huan and Huo Jun wanted to attack Ling Jian. If they attacked Ling Jian at the same time, it would obviously break the rules.
"Yin Huan, just let me fight this time."
Huo Jun looked over and spoke in a domineering tone.
Yin Huan also frowned slightly. She thought about it and was about to agree.
"The two of you attack together. This will save a lot of time."
However, at this moment, Ling Jian's voice suddenly sounded.
In an instant, Yin Huan and Huo Jun both looked at Ling Jian. The killing intent in their eyes was extremely strong.
Ling Jian was actually going to attack the two of them at the same time. He was obviously looking down upon them.
"Ling Jian, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Nalan Yanran hurriedly opened her mouth and spoke from behind. She felt that Ling Jian's actions were becoming increasingly crazy.
Previously, he had said that he wanted to challenge the Blood God. Now, he wanted to attack together and deal with Yin Huan and Huo Jun.
One should know that either Yin Huan or Huo Jun would be quite powerful when they showed up. Both of them were, without exception, the top young geniuses under the Saint Level in the Grand Middle Sky.
It wouldn't be easy for the Blood God to deal with both of them at the same time. However, Ling Jian dared to speak like this. He was obviously courting death.
Ling Jian did not pay any attention to Nalan Yanran's words. At this moment, his gaze only looked at Yin Huan and Huo Jun. After which, he looked at the surrounding cultivators on the Dao Confirming Stairs. A faint voice was emitted from his mouth, "If any of you still wish to attack me, feel free to do so!"
On the Pathfinder Stairs, the crowd thought they had misheard.
Ling Jian was actually planning to deal with all of them?
Even the Blood God wouldn't have the guts to do so, right?
He really didn't know where this confidence came from to be so crazy.
"Ling Jian, aren't you being too arrogant?"
At this moment, even the Blood God Son couldn't stand Ling Jian's attitude.
Although in his opinion, Ling Jian's words might be just a bluff, he still wouldn't allow Ling Jian to show off like this.
"Yin Huan, Huo Jun, you two attack together."
The Scion looked at Firesurge and Silverloop. There was no bond between the three of them, but the words that came out of his mouth were still tinged with command.
Yin Huan and Huo Jun naturally heard the tone in the Scion's words. The two of them were the strongest people under the Saint level in their respective forces. They wouldn't listen to normal cultivators.
However, the person who spoke was the Blood God, so they didn't have any reason to retort.
Instead, they turned their gazes back to Ling Jian.
"Ling Jian, you will know what price you will pay for your arrogance now."
Huo Jun spoke in a cold voice. Before he finished speaking, a surge of spiritual energy burst out from his body.
At the same time, there was still a huge amount of spiritual power coming out from Yin Huan's body. It was no weaker than Huo Jun's.
Around them, on the Dao Confirming Stairs, all the cultivators saw this scene and instantly opened their eyes wide. Two geniuses attacking at the same time was a rare scene.
"Hmph, Ling Jian, you are so arrogant. Very well, let me see what you are capable of!"
Yin Huan looked at Ling Jian and spoke indifferently, but he didn't stop.
When he said that, there were three illusionary shadows of tigers in the sky above his head.
The others had seen it before.
However, at that time, the silver ring only used thirty percent of its power. Now, it was using its full power.
In another change, when she and Yin Huan attacked together, a fiery red stick appeared in Huo Jun's hand.
As soon as the stick was swung, it set the whole place on fire. The heat, as soon as it appeared, made the temperature of the world rise.
"This is the Li Fire Stick from the Fire County!"
"The Holy Grade Spirit Treasure Fire Stick. It seems that the Fire County is going to use its full power this time."
"Both Yin Huan and Huo Jun are going all out. Looks like even if Ling Jian dies, he should be proud."
The crowd was talking among themselves at the moment, but Ling Jian didn't react at all. He stayed where he was and looked at Huo Jun and Yin Huan with confusion.
"Attack!"
At this moment, Yin Huan suddenly let out a low roar from his mouth. Then, he pushed with all his might, and the three divine tigers above his head suddenly charged toward Ling Jian.
In the blink of an eye, the fire rod from the county of Huo was thrown out. The fire rod carried a monstrous flame and whipped toward Ling Jian's position.
The two top geniuses attacked at the same time. It only took them a second to make Ling Jian fall into a pincer attack.
When Huo Jun and Yin Huan made their moves together, Ling Jian, who hadn't made any moves yet, finally made his move.
Suddenly, he took a step forward. He raised his head and looked at the three divine tiger shadows that were charging over. In the next instant, he clenched his right hand tightly. After which, he threw a punch at the three divine tiger shadows.
Bang!
The three figures of the divine tiger exploded under Ling Jian's punch, and the energy waves from the explosion turned into a monstrous wave of energy that spread out in all directions in an instant.1
Yin Huan's attack was easily countered by Ling Jian.
However, before the crowd was shocked, Ling Jian suddenly turned around and faced the fire stick.
He didn't choose to dodge the fire rod. Instead, he let the fire rod hit his body.
Smack!
Instantly, the Leaving Fire Rod collided with Ling Jian's body, and a clear sound rang out at this instant.
Seeing this scene, Huo Jun was delighted. He thought that Ling Jian would be killed by his rod.
However, at this moment, her face suddenly changed.
Her eyes became incomparably shocked at this moment. She looked at the place where Ling Jian had been hit by the Leaving Fire Rod. She only saw that after the Leaving Fire Rod hit Ling Jian's body, the flames on it quickly dissipated at this moment. That kind of strange dissipation was as if it had been directly absorbed by Ling Jian's body.
On the Pathfinder Stairs, after the Leaving Fire Rod hit Ling Jian's body, the expected scene of Ling Jian's body exploding did not happen.
Although the fire on the Leaving Fire Rod was still rushing to Ling Jian, the fire couldn't hurt Ling Jian anymore.
On the contrary, not only did it not cause any damage, it was like a tonic. It became a part of Ling Jian's body and was absorbed into his body.
