At this moment, the Tianfeng City Lord and the middle-aged man in blood-colored armor with slightly dark red hair flew to the front, chatting with each other casually.

Although neither of them deliberately released their breath, Duan Chen noticed that the Tianfeng City Lord seemed to be very respectful to the middle-aged man.

That's right, it's respectful!

As strong as the Tianfeng City Lord, he has the power of refining the Void Realm, and he has to be respectful when facing that middle-aged man.

From this, it is not difficult to guess that this middle-aged man's cultivation has already reached the merger stage nine times out of ten, otherwise with the status of the Tianfeng City Lord, he would not be so respectful to him.

However, what shocked Duan Chen the most was not the attitude of the Tianfeng City Lord towards this middle-aged man, but the appearance of this middle-aged man.

"It's too similar, it's too similar. Duan Chen said secretly, trying to contain the shock in his heart.

Back then, the Blood Demon True Monarch had shown him a portrait of the Blood Feather True Monarch, and the middle-aged man in front of him was almost the same in all respects except that he looked a little older than the Blood Feather True Monarch back then.

Moreover, according to the speculation of the Blood Demon True Monarch, if the Blood Feather True Monarch had not fallen, his cultivation should have reached the merger stage at least.

"Whether it's looks or cultivation, it's completely compatible, it seems that this person is the Blood Feather True Monarch...... No, he should be called the Blood Feather Lord now. Duan Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he withdrew his gaze, for fear that the Blood Feather Venerable Lord would find out something.

Although the Blood Feather Venerable Lord didn't necessarily know him, let alone his relationship with the Blood Demon True Monarch, he still felt that it was better to be careful just in case.

After all, the power of the Lord in the Merge Period is the existence of the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm second only to the Mahayana Period, maybe there is some means to see through the thoughts in his heart, and he has to guard against it.

"According to the news, there are a total of seven Supreme Elders at the level of the Blood God Temple, and I didn't expect that one of them would be the Blood Feather Lord. Duan Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

The reason why he agreed to help the Blood Demon True Monarch avenge the first time was that he was forced to be helpless, and secondly, he thought that after so many years, the Blood Feather Venerable Lord might have fallen a long time ago, but he didn't expect that the other party not only did not fall, but also broke through to the merger period and became a Supreme Elder of the Blood God Temple.

Fortunately, the Blood Feather Venerable Lord did not cultivate the Blood Nerve to the ninth level, otherwise once he was allowed to sit on the position of the Blood God Hall Master, it would be even more difficult for Duan Chen to avenge the Blood Demon True Monarch.

Of course, even now, he didn't have the ability to avenge the Blood Demon True Monarch, but instead tried his best to hide his relationship with the Blood Demon True Monarch, so as not to be detected by the Blood Feather Venerable.

Thundered!

As the thoughts in Duan Chen's mind flashed rapidly, in the sky, countless spiritual qi gathered from all directions, quickly forming thrones one after another.

Among them, the Blood Feather Venerable Lord sat at the top, followed by the three major Dharma Protector Hall Masters such as the Tianfeng City Lord, and then the Inner Hall Elders who came to watch the battle from Blood Impermanence.

"Venerable Lord, it's rare that you are willing to watch the Dharma Protector Elder Ranking Battle held in my Dharma Protector Temple, why don't you hand over the Dharma Protector Elder Ranking Battle to you this time?"

Although the previous Dharma Protector Elder Ranking Battles were all presided over by their three Dharma Protector Hall Masters, but with the Blood Feather Venerable Lord present today, they naturally had to ask his opinion first.

"It's okay, I'm just thinking about it quietly, come and take a look, and you will continue to preside over this year's Dharma Protector Elder Ranking Battle according to the previous practice." The Blood Feather Venerable Lord said lightly

Its voice echoed around it, and only the Heavenly Beacon City Lord, Peach Blossom True Monarch, and Styx Old Demon could hear it.

"Yes. The Tianfeng City Lord nodded slightly, and was about to stand up to preside over this year's Dharma Protector Elder Ranking Battle, when he suddenly noticed that the Blood Feather Venerable Lord's gaze fell on a Dharma Protector Elder below, and his figure couldn't help but pause slightly.

The old demon of the River Styx on the side also noticed the gaze of the Blood Feather Venerable, and couldn't help laughing: "It is said that this Chen was originally a dark chess piece planted by the demon clan in the Beiyuan Immortal Palace, and after his identity was exposed, he fled back to the Southern Regions, but now he has become the young hall master of the Demon Doctor Pavilion. ”

The Blood Feather Venerable nodded.

With his status and status, it is naturally impossible to know Duan Chen, and the reason why he has paid attention to Duan Chen is only because he senses that he is relatively young, feels that he has great potential, and has a heart of love for talent.

Now as soon as he heard the introduction of the old demon of the Styx, he knew that Duan Chen had joined the Demon Doctor Pavilion, and he immediately stopped thinking about it.

"The Lord of the Hall announces that this year's Elder Protector Ranking Battle will start now!" Seeing that the Blood Feather Venerable Lord no longer paid attention to Duan Chen, the Lord of Tianfeng City immediately stood up and announced loudly, his voice majestic, echoing throughout the Temple Square.

Then the Tianfeng City Lord sat down again, chatting with the Peach Blossom True Monarch and the Styx Old Demon with the Blood Feather Venerable Lord.

And below.

The Dharma Protector Elders, who were sitting on stone pillars, were already ready to go.

"Elder Lu, please!"

Among the many Dharma Protector Elders, the Dharma Protector Elder sitting on the last stone pillar flew to the center of the temple square first, and immediately looked at the other Dharma Protector Elder and shouted.

"Hmph, as you wish. The Dharma Protector Elder who was invited to fight immediately slapped his hands on the stone pillar and flew out directly to fight.

......

The ranking battles of the previous Dharma Protector Elders are all in order.

Generally, the bottom ten Dharma Protector Elders in the previous session will challenge first, then it will be the turn of the top ranked, and finally the rest of the Dharma Protector Elders will challenge the twelve Dharma Protector Elders.

It is worth mentioning that each Dharma Protector Elder only has three chances of defeat, and if he fails all three attempts, he will never have a chance to challenge again, but the number of battles and consecutive victories is countless.

In other words, as long as you are strong enough, even if you are ranked last, you can still reach the top 12 through continuous wins, and if you are not strong enough, even if you rank high, you will eventually fall from the high to the top.

Having said that, there are still great benefits to being high-ranked, at least you can play a few fewer games when you go up, and those with lower rankings who want to make it to the top 12 will have to fight dozens of games at the earliest.

The consumption of mana during this period, the exposure to the enemy's methods, and even being injured in battle will have a great impact on the next challenge.

Of course.

If you are strong enough, these factors can be completely ignored.

However, for the vast majority of Dharma Protector Elders, several or even dozens of fierce battles in a row still have a great impact on their strength and state.

So if you can, it's best to eliminate the opponent as soon as possible in the battle, so as to avoid excessive consumption of mana in your body.

"Elder Lu, look at the move!" With a loud shout, the elder surnamed Luo, who was ranked at the bottom, rolled up with demonic energy all over his body, and instantly turned into a huge unicorn monster python, and countless ice crystals condensed from the void around the monster python, quickly forming an ice and snow demon domain.

Click!

I saw that within the shrouded area of the Ice and Snow Demon Domain, the void seemed to be frozen, but Elder Lu in the distance grinned, and suddenly sacrificed a spirit hammer, followed by the rapid explosion of his body, turning into a giant who was a lot tall, holding the spirit hammer and smashing towards the void in front of him.

This smash seemed simple, but it contained an extremely terrifying force, which instantly shattered the originally frozen void in the center of the square.

"This Elder Lu should be a physical cultivator, and his physical strength and melee strength are extremely good, as for Elder Luo, his body is a cold ice and snow python, and he is naturally suitable for cultivating the way of frost, but in the end, I am afraid that Elder Lu's strength is superior. ”

At this moment, Duan Chen sat on the stone pillar at the edge of the square, looking at the two people who were fighting fiercely in the field, and thought secretly in his heart.

In fact, in his opinion, the strength of Elder Lu and Elder Luo should be equal, but Elder Luo's body is a cold ice and snow python, and he must show his body when fighting to maximize his strength.

But as a result, the space in which it can move becomes very narrow.

And Elder Lu is a physical cultivator, his physical defense is already stronger than Elder Luo, and his melee strength is extremely good, in the limited combat space, Elder Lu's melee advantage is better played.

Sure enough, as the battle continued, although Elder Luo had been delaying with many means of relying on his natural supernatural powers, he was finally knocked down by Elder Lu with a close hammer and lost his ability to fight.

......

As time passed, the challenges continued.

Duan Chen sat cross-legged on the stone pillar at the edge of the square and watched a famous Dharma Protector Elder fight, and he was quite excited to watch, because each Dharma Protector Elder had their own means and killing moves, and the power of some of them made Duan Chen's eyes light up and touched.

After all, people of different races are different in what they are good at, and according to the different exercises they practice, the means of fighting the enemy and the hole card killing moves they master are even more strange.

In the face of these strange hole card killing moves, although Duan Chen was confident of winning, he did not dare to underestimate it in the slightest.

Of course, as a spectator, his biggest gain was to gain insight into the understanding and application of the Dao method by other Avatar Cultivators by watching each battle, and at the same time enrich his own fighting experience.

After all, only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.

In the blink of an eye, this year's Dharma Protector Elder Ranking Battle has been going on for more than half a month, and nearly 100 games have been played.

However, so far, Duan Chen has not fought a single battle.

Mainly because there are more than three hundred Dharma Protector Elders in the Dharma Protector Hall, from the bottom of the ranking to the top of the ranking, one battle after another, it will take a long time for Duan Chen to take their turn.

In addition, at the level of the Transformation Period, if the strength of the two sides of the battle is very close, it is not impossible to fight for a day and a night, which also leads to the fact that although the ranking battle has only lasted for more than half a month, Duan Chen still has not had a chance to play.

Of course, even if he didn't have a chance to play, Duan Chen still watched it with relish.

Especially with the ranking of the elders who challenged, the strength shown by the two sides of the battle was also getting stronger and stronger, and some of the Dharma Protector Elders' innate supernatural powers and the use of Dao Law really made Duan Chen's eyes fresh and eye-opening.
