Chapter 163 – Triple Transformation Sword
Bi Fan and Chao Rui were glaring at each other with a grim look on their faces.
Even though Chao Rui was very strong and very arrogant, he never underestimated any opponent.
Moreover, Bi Fan’s previous performances had attracted a lot of attention from the Wu Ji Sect, which is why Chao Rui was going to be even more careful against Bi Fan.
Bi Fan, like Chao Rui, wasn’t underestimating his opponent either, and was aware that if Chao Rui was capable of standing out in Sect like the Wu Ji Sect, then he’d certainly be very talented.
The referee announced the start of the contest, but neither Bi Fan, nor Chao Rui made any movements.
The people sitting in the stands had been waiting for a long time for this fight, and started roaring impatiently.
“Fight ah! Silly!
“Chao Rui, kill Bi Fan!”
“Bi Fan, chop down Chao Rui!”
Bi Fan and Chao Rui were so sharply focused on each other that they weren’t even paying attention to the sounds that the people in the arena were making. They were staring each other with so much focus, that they were blind to everything else.
“Die!”
“Die!”
They both acted at the same time.
They roared out at the same time, and made their move.
With the Dragon Scale Sword in his hand, Bi Fan charged out with an indomitable vigor.
Chao Rui was also holding a high-grade weapon, a sword.
Chao Rui was quite confident of his strength, and acted out very boldly, making no move to dodge the incoming attack.
“Fufeng Double-edged Sword!”
“The Yin Yang Sword!”
“Bang…..”
Sparks flew as the two swords collided, which also gave rise to a deafening sound.
As a first move, both the fighters had charged in recklessly, and were both sent back a few steps as a counter effect of the collision, and it seemed that there was no disparity in their strength.
“Amazing power!” Chao Rui said in a cold manner.
“Good strength! Stupendous sword-play!” Bi Fan praised in a calm tone.
Even though their voices were quite soft, everyone heard it, since the scene had suddenly quieted down after the sound of their first collision.
“Stupid Sword-play! Haha…..” A lot of people misunderstood Bi Fan’s remark and broke into laughter.
Chao Rui’s face suddenly turned red with anger, and he prepared to eliminate Bi Fan.
Bi Fan was a little depressed since he hadn’t meant to curse, but smiled all the same, since there was no redeeming this one.
Anyway, the angrier Chao Rui would get, the more intensely he’d fight back, which is exactly what Bi Fan wanted.
Bi Fan moved again, and the two of them exchanged hundreds of strokes in quick succession, but were still equally matched.
Their silhouettes were moving so fast that many spectators were unable to see the particulars of their actions.
“Some people are saying that Bi Fan is very strong, and may be worthy of being called a Dark Horse in this tournament.” Xuan Yuan Feng observed.
“When a dark horse runs into Brother Chao Rui, it becomes a dead horse.”
The Wu Ji Sect disciples were so relaxed due their unwavering belief in their Brother’s strength, that they were even cracking jokes at Bi Fan.
In the Quinyang Sect however, many people were worried about Bi Fan’s safety.
Most of the core disciples were very worried about Bi Fan, since most of them had missed out on Bi Fan’s displays at the Disciple’s contest, which is why they didn’t have a very profound understanding of Bi Fan’s talents.
“That Chao Rui is very strong, and is attacking so decisively… even though Bi Fan is quite fast, he may not be able to withstand that guy’s strength.” A core disciple stated in a worried tone.
“Don’t worry, Chao Rui is indeed quite strong, but he’s still not as strong as me. And even I cannot match Brother Bi Fan, so this Chao Rui obviously has no chance of winning here.” Jing Feng smiled.
Jing Feng wasn’t even afraid about losing face, as he spoke out in support of Bi Fan.
Those who had seen Bi Fan’s fights in the Disciple’s tournament were confident of his victory, and were concentrated on cheering and boosting his morale.
There were over two hundred thousand spectators in the arena at the moment, and the majority was supporting Chao Rui. The people, who had been supporting Bi Fan until now, were a little shy to cheer their favorite at the moment.
Bi Fan and Chao Rui had exchanged several hundred strokes now, and Chao Rui had already cast out the ‘Yin Yang Sword’ twice now, but still hadn’t been able to harm Bi Fan in any way.
“Bi Fan, you might be a little skilled, but you’re a Quinyang Sect guy at the end of the day, which is why you’re doomed to die at my hands.” Chao Rui stated in cold and sharp tone.
“Utter nonsense; unless you have something more in your a.r.s.enal, you’ll lose this fight.” Bi Fan replied in an indifferent manner.
Bi Fan was finally beginning to reveal his true intentions now, and was trying to provoke Chao Rui into casting his best strikes.
Bi Fan had already memorized the two forms of the ‘Yin Yang sword’ by now, and firmly believed that Chao Rui would know more than just the ‘Yin Yang sword’ and the ‘Tai Chi Sword’ techniques.
“Watch out for the ‘Triple Transformation sword!’” Chao Rui was completely outraged by Bi Fan, and tried to attack him with a more profound skill.
‘Triple Transformation sword’ was a high grade skill, and had undergone generations of research before reaching its current form. In order to cast out this skill, a pract.i.tioner would have to be extremely strong, and the attack was very ferocious in its make.
But since the ‘Triple Transformation Sword’ was a very complicated attack, only a few people in the Wu Ji Sect were capable of using it in battle.
Formerly, Chao Rui was a relatively unknown name in the Wu Ji Sect, because of which the Sect had delayed teaching him the move. They had only decided to impart this skill to him one year ago, post which his strength saw a ma.s.sive raise, and with the help of this skill, he suddenly became a member of the coveted Six Diamonds of the Wu Ji Sect.
Chao Rui was somewhat like Ji Ying Lan in this respect, and had managed to achieve his status owing to the extensive amount of research that he had carried out on his skills.
It appeared as if his body had given rise to two more shadow bodies, once Chao Rui cast out the ‘Triple Transformation sword’.
Bi Fan suddenly felt as if he was being attacked from all sides, since the shadows were attacking him from all direction, creating a net of blades in the process.
Bi Fan kept dodging the attacks very speedily, but his dodging s.p.a.ce continued to get more and more compressed.
If things continued to carry on at this rate, then eventually Bi Fan won’t even be able to find a foothold in this ring, and would ultimately end up losing the fight.
But then again, Bi Fan really wanted to get a view of the complete skill set, which is why he wasn’t acting out to interrupt the technique.
This was a new high grade skill, and Bi Fan had always easily been attracted to such amazing skills.
Bi Fan was already imagining incorporating this skill with his ‘Immortal Finger’, and had already started drooling at the imaginary power of the newly fused skill.
This sword technique was already a very powerful move, and then adding the effects of ‘The Immortal Finger’ would make the resulting fusion unimaginably more powerful.
With this thought in mind, Bi Fan decided to allow Chao Rui to cast out the entire moves of the ‘Triple transformation sword’.
Even though Bi Fan was busy memorizing this new skill, he was still able to dodge the attacks.
Chao Rui was gaining an upper hand, and had already landed several attacks on Bi Fan’s body. If it weren’t for Bi Fan’s sky-blue suit, and the soft armor, he would have definitely injured himself by now.
“What’s the matter with Brother Bi Fan? Brother Bi Fan is strong enough to repel the attack, and even interrupt it.” Jing Feng was completely baffled, and was getting more and more confused with every pa.s.sing second.
Jing Feng wasn’t the only one; the other Quinyang Sect outer disciples were as confused as Jing Feng. Yan Yu Si and Ling Xin Ya were also quite puzzled, but had faith in Bi Fan’s strength and tactics.
“Bi Fan is dodging instead of using his true strength. If he was unable to dodge these attacks, then he would have definitely pushed Chao Rui back… it seems that Bi Fan’s got a plan.” Ling Xin Ya commented.
Luo Sheng couldn’t keep his mouth shut anymore: “Bi Fan is getting creamed… didn’t I always say that he just talks big.”
Luo Sheng’s heart was very happy to see Bi Fan in a losing position, and even Luo Xiong was smiling at the sight.
Chao Rui had been increasing the intensity of his attacks, but hadn’t been able to knock Bi Fan down until now. Every time he’d come close to winning, Bi Fan would block the attacks, and Chao Rui simply couldn’t understand his enemy’s intentions.
“This kid is really tough, buy today he’s a dead man.” Chao Rui spoke to himself.
Bi Fan said in an undertone: “I can’t figure out how many stokes are there in this ‘Triple transformation sword’, since there are so many changes in its forms. I guess I’ll just have to let him attack for a while more.”
Bi Fan was using the support of his defensive armors to withstand Chao Rui’s attacks. And even though he hadn’t sustained any injuries so far, his body’s core was beginning to vibrate under the influence of the attacks, which was causing him some discomfort.
However, Bi Fan simply gritted his teeth, and endured the pain, since was unwilling to let this opportunity of memorizing the ‘Triple transformation sword’ slip by.
“Brother Chao Rui is so powerful… he’ll qualify with ease.”
“Not yet. It’s too early to call this fight right now.” Wu Ji Xuan spoke up.
The Wu Ji Sect disciples were very surprised with Wu Ji Xuan’s opinion.
“Triple Transformation sword – Trinity Unity!”
Chao Rui finally decided to cast out the last form of the ‘triple transformation sword’, and the three bodies gradually fused into one, marking the sign of an unparalleled terror.
