le hadn't expected Jiang Yun to actually follow through. He hurriedly gripped the stone spike in front of him, begging for mercy with his words while secretly using his strength to try and crush it.Ho...With Jiang Yun effortlessly taking down Liu Hao, the other nine high platforms also successively completed their trials, determining today's top ten. The only slight surprise was that Xie Xiaoyong proactively conceded defeat in the last round, thus being eliminated.

From this point of view, the difference between her and Liu Hao is also obvious. It's clear that she doesn't want to enter the top ten in this way.

In a nutshell, out of ten people, apart from Jiang Yun and Luo Lingxiao, the other eight had excitement on their faces.

As for the competition for first place next, they wouldn't even try, despite having the strength. They knew very well that within the Luo family, the chosen one for first place would undoubtedly be Luo Lingxiao.

And the only one qualified to challenge Luo Lingxiao was Jiang Yun!

Therefore, the top ten competition almost became a yielding match. Everyone on stage was eager to admit defeat until only Jiang Yun and Luo Lingxiao were left.

Luo Lingxiao's eyes sparkled with excitement. He stepped onto the platform and pointed at Jiang Yun below, saying, "Friend Jiang, I hope you won't hesitate to give me some advice."

However, Ginger Cloud ignored Luo Lingxiao's provocation and instead turned his head to look at Luo Baichuan, with a slight smile: "Lord Luo, I have a question!"

"What's the problem"

"If I'm lucky enough to win, I don't know if I could leave the Luo family safely!"

The moment those words were spoken, all sound ceased. Every face was etched with astonishment.

Although it was common knowledge that the Luo family and Wenda Sect had a history of conflict, everyone pretended not to know. However, Jiang Yun's direct question forced them to admire his courage.

Luo Baichuan squinted his eyes and smiled, "Brother Jiang, you're being too serious. This competition is mainly for sparring. If you can defeat Lingxiao, it will be your strength. Even if our Luo family is unwilling to accept it, we wouldn't resort to underhanded tactics against you. You can rest assured."

After a moment's pause, Luo Baichuan continued, "If my friend is still not at ease, then today this old man swears by the name of our Luo family ancestors. As long as my friend is within our Luo family, then our Luo family will absolutely protect my friend and the safety of all esteemed guests present!"

After hearing Luo Baichuan's words, Jiang Yun sneered in his heart. Although the other party spoke nicely, there were hidden meanings in his words. The Luo family wouldn't do anything to him while he was under their roof, but once he left the Luo family, they might not let him go so easily.

Though his heart was clear, Jiang Yun still nodded politely and said, "In that case, I'm relieved!"

Seeing Shi Shi stride confidently onto the platform and stand before him, Jiang Yun, Luo Lingxiao's anger was already boiling over.

To be honest, he didn't know why. He was meeting Ginger Cloud for the first time, but seeing her made him feel inexplicably angry.

Especially the question just asked by Jiang Yun, which was utterly certain that it could defeat him. This naturally made his anger even greater. He smiled coldly and without wasting any words, said: “Jiang Yun, today I will let you see the might of my Luo family!”

"Aw!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Luo Lingxiao suddenly raised his hand. A furious roar erupted, and before him appeared a giant ape over ten feet tall. Its muscular body seemed to be forged from gold, radiating with dazzling golden light and emanating an overwhelming aura of power.

Even his two eyes were golden, glaring menacingly at Jiang Yun.

Seeing this monkey, everyone couldn't help but gasp. You see, Luo Lingxiao had already gone through several rounds of competition just now, but he had never summoned this monkey before.

Facing Jiang Yun, he summoned this creature before even making a move. It's clear that he fears Jiang Yun greatly, and this monkey must be his trump card.

Even someone who knows nothing about animals can see that this monkey is extraordinary.

As this monkey appeared, Luo Lingxiao's face showed a hint of pride and said: "This is a golden gang demon ape, a first-order monster. Jiang Yun, you have to be careful!"

At this moment, Gingercloud, who was also gazing at the monkey, had a strange expression on her face!

Actually, he had carefully observed Luo Lingxiao during previous competitions and knew that the other party still had some tricks up their sleeve. He just never expected that the other party's trump card would be a first-order monster.

Don't even mention that he is now at the peak of his cultivation, a master of taming demons. Even back when he was in the Illusory Beast Diagram, a first-order demonic beast would only obediently submit to him upon encountering him, there was no way it could pose any threat to him.

Jiang Yun touched his nose and muttered to himself, "This, it's a bit unfair!"

"Aw!"

Just then, the Golden Gang Demon Ape suddenly roared to the heavens once more. At the same time, it raised its hands, clenching them into fists and slammed them powerfully against its own chest.

"Bang bang bang!"

Amongst the dull, heavy booms, a sight emerged with startling clarity. On its body, which towered several feet high, thin golden threads were appearing, writhing and swirling around it like living things.

Then, the Golden Gang Demon Ape suddenly raised its hand. The countless strands of golden thread immediately surged towards its palm like rivers returning to the sea, finally transforming into a golden greatsword.

"Boom!"

The next moment, the golden greatsword, with a sharp whistling sound as it tore through the air, struck straight towards Ginger Cloud's head. Its speed was so fast that many cultivators didn't even see it clearly.

Feeling the sharp wind brought by the falling greatsword, one can't help but imagine the immense power it holds. Even Jiang Yun's eyes sparkled with fighting spirit!

Because only he knows best, the sword strike from the demon ape did not use any spiritual energy, but pure physical strength.

To be honest, Jiang Yun's physical strength was already incredibly powerful even before he became a cultivator. And until now, he hasn't encountered any opponent who could match him in terms of physical prowess.

Now, the demonic ape before him possessed a strength of flesh and blood that was at least on par with his own, as Ginger Cloud sensed. This ignited his fighting spirit, and he wished to test his strength against this demonic ape's, to see which one truly prevailed in terms of physical power.

However, considering his own circumstances, Jiang Yun ultimately gave up on this idea.

As the greatsword came crashing down, he finally raised his hand. He grasped empty air, and the humid air around the platform exploded in an instant, transforming into a hazy mist that enveloped his form, vanishing from everyone's sight.

"Fog Technique!"

This scene naturally caught the audience's eyes.

Since the beginning of his journey, Jiang Yun has relied on a single fire ball technique for victory. However, now he is finally demonstrating a different technique. While it's just been unveiled, those who understand martial arts can clearly see that its power far surpasses any previous fire-based technique.

A cultivator excitedly exclaimed, "This Jiang Yun is finally going to be serious!"

Yet, there were also cultivators who shook their heads and said, "Even if we fight seriously, it may not be effective. After all, a first-order demon beast is equivalent to a cultivator at the First Heaven of the Blessed Land realm, while the Tenth Heaven of Meridian Opening is only invincible among Meridian Opening cultivators. When facing the Blessed Land realm, they would definitely not be a match..."

"Boom!"

On that misty high platform, a deafening roar suddenly erupted, interrupting the monk's words.

Then, the mist churned and boiled, slowly spreading outward, revealing a golden-furred demon ape lying within, its body bound by streaks of golden lightning, trembling incessantly!
