chapter 1698 fighting for the front of the pack

translator: borntobe

guo ran had been first, but after his shrapnel fragments had lost effect, his ranking had rapidly fallen since he had relied purely on his dual sabers to kill. despite how hard he had tried, his ranking had still fallen, driving him crazy.

by the time guo ran had come out of the channel, he had fallen to fifth place. that couldn’t be blamed on him. he had already done very well. the only thing that could be said was that his competitors were all monsters.

now that he was killing a golden claw blood devil every few seconds with his arrows, he should be able to quickly climb above others.

after all, each golden claw blood devil was worth fifty million kill points. as for one of those ordinary blood-colored devil creatures, they were only worth a thousand kill points. one golden claw blood devil was equivalent to slaughtering all the blood-colored devil creatures here.

with guo ran’s reminder, long chen looked at his jade plate. when he saw the rankings, his pupils shrank. he was silent for a long time.

“boss, did i manage to take first place or not?” asked guo ran.

“you’ve already fallen to rank twenty-one. no, rank twenty-two.”

“what?!”

guo ran was so shocked that he missed his shot. he hastily released another arrow, killing a golden claw blood devil being restricted by liu ruyan.

“boss, how is that possible?”

long chen looked at the expert in first place. he felt a slight chill. the bloodkill hall’s dong mingyu.

if it was an expert from somewhere else, he wouldn’t be too shocked. however, this name made him feel a vague sense of unease.

the bloodkill hall did not possess area attacks. they killed their targets one by one.

this dong mingyu had to have been waiting for this moment. they were targeting the golden claw blood devils, using their single-target killing arts to quickly eliminate them.

it had only been two hours since the third eruption started, but dong mingyu’s kill points had surpassed nineteen billion. that meant she had to have killed close to four hundred golden claw blood devils in two hours.

these golden claw blood devils were on the same level as empyreans, yet this dong mingyu killed them so easily.

considering his enmity with the bloodkill hall and how he had destroyed their statue of the killing god, long chen was mortal enemies with them. he might not be afraid of them, but he was worried about them targeting the people beside him.

however, knowing that the bloodkill hall had such a terrifying figure meant that he was at least prepared. it was better than not knowing at all.

the empyreans fighting alongside the dragonblood warriors couldn’t help but feel a kind of regret. they regretted not running into long chen earlier. although the dragonblood warriors were just rank nine celestials, their combat power and killing efficiency were many times greater than theirs.

this kind of life and death battle could rapidly mature and strengthen people. if they had the dragonblood warriors’ killing power or combat experience, perhaps they could have also charged forward to the front to fight alongside li qi, song mingyuan, and the others, handling a whole region on their own.

although they also had an urge to compete for the devil slaughter rankings, they knew inside that they didn’t have that power. without the power to kill the golden claw blood devils in one attack, it was too dangerous. if they were attacked by three golden claw blood devils at once, they might lose their lives.

what inspired them the most was that long chen was just standing on the platform, overlooking the battlefield with a calm expression. that not only increased their confidence, but it also raised their expectations. they even hoped that the devil creatures would get a bit stronger so that they could witness long chen’s attacks.

to use the dragonblood warriors’ words, only when they saw the boss fighting was it a real fight. they were just fighting a small scuffle in comparison.

if long chen knew what those people were thinking, he would definitely be caught between laughter and tears. a life and death battle was not a show.

long chen was currently looking at his jade plate, keeping track of the devil slaughter rankings. leng yueyan had now taken first place, with dong mingyu following in second.

they were both at twenty billion kill points, and their names were constantly flashing as they overtook each other. dong mingyu would be first place for a moment, then it would be leng yueyan. there had never been such intense competition for first place.

third was an expert from the xuan beasts. when he saw that name, long chen shook his head. true immortal jiaoqi.

in front of his name was a xuan character. this person was from the xuan beasts. however, for him to dare to call himself true immortal, he was definitely too arrogant. it was said that the titles of true immortals, heavenly immortals, and such were given to people on the verge of ascending back in the immortal era. only experts that had touched upon the barrier to godhood or immortality would be given such a name.

this was the devil abyss, and those that could enter were only at the soul transformation realm. for someone in the soul transformation realm to dare to call themself true immortal, it was unknown if he was just too arrogant or trying to insult the human race.

“he’s probably just another idiot.” long chen’s lips curled into a sneer. just from this name, he knew that this fellow was another idiot who considered everyone else beneath him. a normal person wouldn’t give themselves such a name.

long chen continued looking. he smiled. mo nian was quite powerful. he was ranked fourth, and his kill points were close behind true immortal jiaoqi. true immortal jiaoqi was at fourteen billion seven hundred million kill points, while mo nian was at fourteen billion five hundred million kill points.

“work hard. beat that idiot.”

long chen cheered for mo nian before continuing to look. fifth was someone from the central xuan region called zhao xuehan. this name was rather genderless so he couldn’t tell if they were a man or woman.

whoever it was, their kill points were at twelve and a half billion. there was quite a distance from mo nian and true immortal jiaoqi. catching up would be difficult.

right now, first and second place were constantly changing, while everyone else had been thrown into the distance.

mo nian and true immortal jiaoqi were already very far from them, while fifth place was also very far from the two of them. at this time, a person’s true power was shown. there were no longer any tricks available.

when long chen saw sixth place, he couldn’t help being startled. how had he appeared again?
