450: Zhao Yujing's pot

Before this, among the absolute Heaven's Pride on the Heaven's Pride Rankings top ten, Lu Chen had only met Zhao Yujing and only knew Zhao Yujing.

And facing Zhao Yujing, even if the current Lu Chen were to look at him, he would only feel that he was unfathomable, powerful to an incomprehensible degree.

To be blunt, among all the cultivators Lu Chen had seen, including the former Holy Master of the Dongxu Immortal Mansion, Cang Qingxiao, he felt they were inferior compared to Zhao Yujing.

Cang Qingxiao seemed to be stronger, but definitely limited, and it's possible he would be surpassed by Zhao Yujing very soon.

Even the Great Golden Crow in the Ascension Realm from the Golden Crow Emperor Clan couldn't withstand a single finger from Zhao Yujing.

This shows just how strong Zhao Yujing is.

Yet, such a powerful and terrifying Zhao Yujing was only ranked ninth on the Heaven's Pride Rankings.

Therefore, Lu Chen had a preconceived notion that the eight Heaven's Pride ranked before him would be stronger and more terrifying than Zhao Yujing.

So Lu Chen had always been somewhat apprehensive within the Immortal Path.

Until now, currently, he has personally seen the four Heaven's Pride ranked before Zhao Yujing, including even a God Clan ranked fourth, Sacrificial Spirit God.

But after seeing them, Lu Chen was truly a bit stunned!

This is the fourth?

Fifth, sixth, eighth?

That's it?

These guys are also qualified to be ranked before Zhao Yujing?

It's not that Lu Chen looks down on them, but even Ming Wang of the Sun Moon God Clan, who was suppressed by one hand, could easily beat these four guys into the ground.

So...

"So, the strongest existence on the Heaven's Pride Rankings has always been by my side," Lu Chen realized belatedly, filled with a thousand emotions.

That crafty old Zhao Yujing!

He had even been using him as a comparison, truly thinking he was only ninth.

You call this ninth?

Which family's ninth can press the fourth to death with one finger!

It's not like even the first place would be pressed to death by Zhao Yujing with one finger!

Or perhaps, the top eight combined couldn't withstand one finger from Zhao Yujing?

It's highly possible.

Speaking of the Heaven's Pride Rankings being filled with cultivators under three thousand years old, how could they be stronger than those who have cultivated for tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years? It turns out the problem itself lies with Zhao Yujing.

This guy is hiding his strength!

And he's hiding it too deep, too deep!

There has never been a Heaven's Pride on the Heaven's Pride Rankings that Lu Chen found abnormal; the only abnormal one has always been Zhao Yujing!

And this one abnormal person has been by Lu Chen's side all along, completely misleading Lu Chen.

No, not just Lu Chen, looking at Zhuang Hao's silly appearance, he's also an unlucky fellow misled by Zhao Yujing. Look how scared the poor kid is!

Just by taking a look, Zhuang Hao is already ready to run!

Reasonably speaking, Zhao Yujing should bear the main responsibility; he's too inhuman!

Understanding all this, Lu Chen cursed Zhao Yujing heartily in his mind!

You're already this strong, why are you still pretending? Would you die if you took first place?

This Holy Son suffered because of you, Zhao Yujing, being 'cautious' on the Immortal Path!

Of course, this 'cautious' wasn't very truthful, to begin with.

At this moment, Lu Chen inexplicably felt a sense of relief, without the slightest burden.

How to put it!

The feeling is somewhat like the 'Homelander' of the Immortal Path.

What great powers, Immortal Path, there is only one power, and that is him, Lu Chen.

Lu Chen pulled Zhuang Hao, who was still tugging at him, to his side, pointed at the four figures in the distance, Sacrificial Spirit God, Di Lin, You Xuan, and Di Yu, and asked, "Are they strong?"

Zhuang Hao almost blurted out, "How could they not be strong?

"Others might not know, but surely you, Zhao Yujing, know?

"He can press me to death with one finger, and these four guys can perhaps press Zhao Yujing to death with one finger. You tell me if they are strong?"

His expression was agitated, and his body was already trembling slightly.

'Zhao Yujing! Look at the good you've done!' Lu Chen once again placed the blame on the current Holy Master, Zhao Yujing.

He pressed down on the slightly trembling Zhuang Hao and said with a light smile, "Guess how these four compare to that Ming Wang of the Sun Moon God Clan?"

Zhuang Hao still replied without hesitation, "That Ming Wang is nothing. He couldn't even take one hand from you, Holy Son. How could he compare to these four, Sacrificial Spirit God and the others."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Then let me tell you something else."

He pointed at the four, Sacrificial Spirit God, Di Lin, You Xuan, and Di Yu, and said, "These four, even if they are tied together, cannot withstand one hand from Ming Wang."

Zhuang Hao was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened as he looked at Lu Chen, seemingly finding it incredible. He then quickly reached out, trying to place his hand on Lu Chen's forehead, but it was slapped away by Lu Chen halfway through.

"No, Holy Son, are you saying these four are inferior to that Ming Wang?" Zhuang Hao retorted, "What is Ming Wang? How can he be mentioned in the same breath as Zhao Yujing, let alone the eight who are ranked before Zhao Yujing."

Lu Chen was helpless.

Zhao Yujing, look at the good you've done!

Alright, today, I'll let Junior Brother Zhuang see clearly what kind of people are in the top ten.

He beckoned, indicating for Zhuang Hao to stand obediently to the side and watch carefully.

"Junior Brother Zhuang, you've been deceived by Zhao Yujing. Zhao Yujing is actually the strongest on the Heaven's Pride Rankings, even in a league of his own," he patted Zhuang Hao's shoulder.

"Watch carefully."

Lu Chen chuckled lightly, then waved his hand to summon the Five-Clawed True Dragon Dao Soldier.

These four guys certainly don't deserve the Five-Clawed True Dragon Dao Soldier to make a move, but their trump cards do.

Of course, relying on just one Five-Clawed True Dragon Dao Soldier wouldn't be enough to keep these four guys; their Immortal Realm combat power is conservatively estimated to be at least thirty or more.

But scaring these four guys away is not difficult.

...

"How do we lure out the Immortal Fire Essence?" Sacrificial Spirit God asked with a frown.

Because up to now, the four of them haven't even seen a shadow of the Immortal Fire Essence.

"The Immortal Fire Essence has already developed great sentience. With the four of us gathered, the threat to it is great, so it will definitely not show itself," Di Yu frowned.

This Immortal Fire Essence is very cunning. Earlier, Emperor Inclination had been pursuing the Immortal Fire for a very long time but had never managed to obtain it, not even touching its edge.

One must know, before that, the news of the Immortal Fire had not spread, and only Emperor Inclination was pursuing it.

And the Golden Crow Transformation into Rainbow technique of the Golden Crow Emperor Clan has always been hailed as the fastest in the world.

If even Emperor Inclination alone couldn't catch up, it's even harder to pursue it now that the Immortal Fire is hidden.

"Is there a way to lure out the Immortal Fire?" You Xuan's beautiful brows furrowed slightly, and an unintentional smile or frown held a unique charm that made people unable to help but look at her.

Di Lin said, "There is no other way. We should first conceal ourselves and wait here. There will be fish that take the bait..."

As soon as his voice fell, Di Lin suddenly turned his head, looked behind him, and shouted, "Who?"

"Hmm?" Sacrificial Spirit God, You Xuan, and Di Yu were all startled, and then they all looked over.

They saw a young man with a heroic and handsome face and a tall figure walking through the air. He was wearing a dark gold long robe, his face expressionless, and the faint pressure, even without being deliberately released, still made people feel a sense of suffocation.

Strong, very strong!

But there was also something strange, because he couldn't be seen through or understood.

The young man just stood there, but if you didn't look, he seemed to be neither here nor there, as if outside of everything.

"Friend, why have you come?" You Xuan's eyes held a smile, full of charm. Even the most clear-minded cultivators would likely be moved.

However, the young man didn't even glance at her. Not to mention being moved, he didn't even move his eyes a fraction.

You Xuan's heart stirred, "Amazing, what an amazing person!"
