Chapter 641: The first place of the Martial Saint Ranking is revealed: the Twelve Terrors who have lived for four thousand years!

What??

As soon as Su Chen’s voice fell, the great hall erupted into an uproar.

No one had expected that Ying Zheng would only be ranked second on the Martial Saint Ranking.

This completely exceeded everyone’s prior expectations.

It even overturned Su Chen’s previous commentary.

Because in the previous episode of his miscellany, Su Chen had stated very clearly that Ying Zheng’s cultivation realm was stronger than that of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che.

It was only because Ying Zheng required the Heavenly Crystal to break through that he called Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, the person closest to a Martial Emperor in a thousand years.

In everyone’s view, this sentence meant that Ying Zheng was the strongest person under a Martial Emperor in a thousand years.

And since this ranking was the Martial Saint Ranking, even if there were Martial Emperor-level powerhouses in the world, they would not be on the list.

Then what kind of existence was this person who ranked even higher than Ying Zheng?

After much thought, there was only one reasonable possibility—that mysterious powerhouse of the Great Han was a figure from over a thousand years ago.

Thinking this, everyone felt their scalps go numb.

Could it be that following Di Di Shitian and Dong Huang Donghuang Taiyi, a third old monster with a lifespan exceeding a thousand years was about to appear in the world?

……

On the white jade platform.

Su Chen was not surprised by everyone’s shock and smiled slightly:

“Regarding Ying Zheng, Su Mou has already provided a detailed commentary in the last episode, so I will not repeat it here.”

“There is only one point that needs to be emphasized.”

“That is, Ying Zheng is indeed worthy of being the powerhouse closest to a Martial Emperor in a thousand years, with his cultivation having reached the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm.”

“However, compared to the existence ranked first on the Martial Saint Ranking, he is still slightly inferior.”

Once these words were spoken, they caused an even greater sensation in the hall.

The crowd of martial arts guests were all shocked.

They had not expected that the mysterious powerhouse of the Great Han martial arts world was truly a terrifying existence with a lifespan exceeding a thousand years.

Those who had previously felt that the Great Qin martial arts world was stronger than the Great Han martial arts world now fell silent.

They all had a premonition that this mysterious Great Han powerhouse was absolutely terrifying beyond imagination.

For a time, almost everyone in the hall looked toward the white jade platform, their eyes filled with tension.

……

The sixth private room in the West District.

Prince Fusu, Zhang Han, and the others were also shocked.

They had originally been full of confidence, always believing that Ying Zheng was the undisputed top of the Martial Saint Ranking.

Now that it was suddenly exposed that this mysterious Great Han powerhouse was an old monster who had lived for over a thousand years, it truly caught them off guard.

“Another immortal who has lived for over a thousand years?”

Ying Zheng, sitting in the main seat, narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint sense of threat rising in his heart.

……

On the white jade platform.

Su Chen sipped some clear tea and, facing the expectant gazes of the martial arts guests, said loudly:

“Next, I will comment on the final Martial Saint on the list.”

“The first place on the Martial Saint Ranking, Xiao Sanxiao!”

“Regarding this Martial Saint, none of you fellow martial artists should know him, but in fact, his legend has always been circulating.”

“The martial arts guests of the Great Han should have all heard of a strange man in the martial arts world named ‘Bai Xiao Kuang Sheng’.”

“This person was indeed a rare genius who possessed the ability to perceive heavenly secrets. He traveled the martial arts world, saw all the affairs of the world, and two hundred years ago wrote the work [Twelve Terrors].”

“These [Twelve Terrors] recorded the twelve most terrifying people and things that Bai Xiao Kuang Sheng had ever known or seen in his life.”

“For example, the Fire Fire Qilin in Lingyun Cave was rated as the first terror by Bai Xiao Kuang Sheng.”

“Another example is the Peerless Sword and the Hero Sword; at that time, they had no masters, and they were also highly praised by Bai Xiao Kuang Sheng, who believed that these two swords would definitely shine brilliantly in the future.”

“From this, it is clear that Bai Xiao Kuang Sheng truly had the ability to perceive heavenly secrets.”

“And in the [Twelve Terrors] he wrote, every terror was described in great detail, except for the final twelfth terror, which was mentioned only briefly, with only the word ‘He’ used to represent his name.”

“The reason is that this existence was completely impossible for even Bai Xiao Kuang Sheng to fathom.”

“But there is one point that Bai Xiao Kuang Sheng explicitly stated in the book: this twelfth terror is an omnipotent and omniscient figure, more terrifying than the previous eleven terrors combined.”

“These [Twelve Terrors] are widely circulated in the Great Han martial arts world, but almost everyone is skeptical of the final twelfth terror, believing it to be a character fabricated by Bai Xiao Kuang Sheng.”

“But in fact, that is not the case.”

“This twelfth terror truly exists, and it is none other than Xiao Sanxiao, who ranks at the top of the Martial Saint Ranking.”

“The terror of this person is something even Bai Xiao Kuang Sheng only saw the tip of the iceberg of.”

“I believe many people have already guessed that this Xiao Sanxiao is the ancestor of the Xiao family, one of the nine great aristocratic families of the Great Han.”

“The Great Demon God Xiao Xiao Jingtian and the Great Master Xiao Xiao Aoshi are both his biological sons.”

“Three thousand five hundred years ago, someone encountered a divine turtle, drank the blood of the divine turtle, and has lived in the human world for four thousand years; in the martial arts world, he is known as Xiao Sanxiao!”

As Su Chen’s voice fell, the hall exploded in an unprecedented way!

The top of the Martial Saint Ranking, Xiao Sanxiao!

Su Chen’s commentary exceeded everyone’s imagination.

No one had expected that this mysterious powerhouse of the Great Han martial arts world was actually the twelfth terror from the [Twelve Terrors] written by Bai Xiao Kuang Sheng two hundred years ago.

That legendary, omnipotent, omniscient, and terrifyingly extreme—He.

No one expected that this mysterious powerhouse, who had once severely wounded the Great Demon God Xiao Xiao Jingtian, was actually the ancestor of the Xiao family—the biological father of the two peak Martial Saint Xiao family members!

This caused many people's brains to momentarily stall.

The Great Master Xiao Xiao Aoshi is dedicated to pushing forward the Great Calamity of the Thousand Autumns, while Xiao Sanxiao is running around everywhere trying to stop it.

Could it be that this terrifying, world-ending calamity is merely a personal feud and internal struggle between a father and his sons?

Everyone is baffled as to why the father and sons of the Xiao family have become such bitter enemies, to the point of being willing to use a world-ending calamity as a chessboard for their rivalry.

Another point that caught everyone off guard is that Xiao Sanxiao has actually lived for a full four thousand years.

Although everyone had mentally prepared themselves, assuming the mysterious powerhouse of the Great Han martial world must be an old monster over a thousand years old.

But four thousand years—that far exceeds a mere millennium; it is exactly double the lifespan of the second-longest-lived being, Di Di Shitian!

Just thinking about it makes everyone feel it is inconceivable.

This leads many to exclaim that the blood of the Divine Turtle is truly worthy of its life-extending properties; it is simply too good at surviving.

However, many others have keenly discovered a problem.

Xiao Sanxiao encountered the Divine Turtle three thousand five hundred years ago, yet he has lived for four thousand years.

The timeline clearly does not add up.

Fourth private room in the South District.

Lu Lu Xiaofeng strode out, stood before the railing, and said in a loud voice:

"Mr. Su, I have a question to ask."

"Xiao Sanxiao has only consumed the blood of the Divine Turtle for three thousand five hundred years, so why has he been able to live for four thousand?"

"Could it be that he had already achieved longevity for five hundred years before drinking the Divine Turtle's blood?"

"If so, by what means did he achieve that longevity?"
