Chapter 211 – The Xuannv Ninth Heaven Sword
“Take mercy on your Uncle’s little restaurant! Please don’t fight here!” the shop’s owner quickly came over trembling in panic.
Bi Fan promptly pulled Zi Wei back, and whispered: “Private fighting isn’t allowed in the Tong City, so if you really wish to fight them, you should take them to the Rings.”
Bi Fan’s sound was loud enough for those four men to make out his words.
“Hold on!” the youngster in lead spoke up again: “Girl, if you have any courage, then come and contest me in the ring.”
“Come on, come on, it’s not like I’m afraid of you!” Zi Wei was simply unwilling to back down.
The four brawny men led the way, and Zi Wei followed out after them.
It was already too late for Bi Fan to say anything; therefore he simply shook his head helplessly, and followed after them.
Those four men searched around quickly, and found an empty ring soon enough.
“Let’s make this challenge more fun, I bet ten thousand spars, how about it?” the youngster challenged.
“Don’t take it….” Bi Fan promptly whispered in Zi Wei’s ear.
“Ten thousand Spars for ten thousand spars! Additionally, if you lose, then you’ll have to kowtow and admit your mistake.” Zi Wei retorted loudly.
“Well, if I win, then I won’t ask for you to apologize, but you will have to spend an entire day with us! In fact, you don’t even need to pay up.” The youngster’s face once again reveled in a rather nefariously obscene smile.
Zi Wei’s face turned red with anger, but looked rather cute still, and Bi Fan simply couldn’t help staring at her face for a moment.
“You’re courting your death!” Zi Wei’s face had turned as cold as ice.
Zi Wei and that youngster embarked onto the stage, and stationed themselves opposite to each other.
“Start the contest!” the referee announced loudly.
“Xuannv Flying Rainbow!”
Zi Wei cast out the Xuannv Palace’s trademarked technique, leaving Bi Fan dumbstruck.
Bi Fan couldn’t help wondering inwardly: “So Zi Wei also belongs to the same Sect as Miss Yan Yu Si…. That’s quite a coincidence!”
That youngster obviously didn’t recognize the origin of Zi Wei’s skillset; else he wouldn’t have dared to fight her.
However, this youngster was quite tall and lofty in his own accord, and was using a machete for a weapon; it seemed that his physical strength was around the same mark as Blue Dragons’.
Since the youngster started the contest on a high note as well, his companions started cheering for him.
“Tang Tian Yang to victory! Tang Tian Yang to victory!……”
Tang Tian Yang seemed rather complacent with his position, and was seemingly paying a lot of attention to the pack of rogues who were cheering him on.
Tang Tian Yang was respectably strong, and even though he hadn’t yet reached the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer yet, but his physical strength was sufficient to enable him to compete against a poor beginning level ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer martial artist.
Moreover, Tang Tian Yang had a lot of combat experience, and was far superior to Zi Wei in that respect.
Zi Wei on the other hand, barely had any combat experience, and even though she was much stronger than Tang Tian Yang, she started losing the fight right from the beginning.
Fortunately, Zi Wei’s sword was a high-end weapon, and hence Tang Tian Yang was keeping his distance which was seemingly delaying his victory.
Even though Bi Fan could sense that Zi Wei’s fighting experience was quite low, and knew that she’d do better in case he offered advice, but he decided to keep his mouth shut since he felt that it was better for her sake if she learnt it from her own mistakes.
“Time to end this!” Tang Tian Yang raised his blade as he summoned his strength and charged forward to behead her in order to finish the fight.
“Ah!” Zi Wei quickly dodged the attack in panic.
Zi Wei had lowered her head to dodge the attack, but Tang Tian Yang’s blade brushed off her hairband and cut open her hair lose.
“Ah!” Zi Wei cried out in alarm.
“Ha ha! She’s quite the beauty ah! It seems that my bet turned out to be even better than I thought! Little girl if you lose, then you’ll have to honor your promise. Ha ha….” Tang Tian Yang laughed out loudly in a very vulgar manner.
Tang Tian Yang’s three companions also shouted out after him: “Tang Tian Yang, you’re so lucky with women! Ha ha ha……”
Zi Wei’s face became pale with anger, and she coldly shouted back: “Your shameless is the reason why no girl will ever like you!”
“Xuannv Ninth Heaven Sword!”
In her angered state, Zi Wei casted out the Xuannv Palace’s paramount technique; a technique which she had accidentally stumbled upon since this technique had been lost almost a thousand years ago.
Although Zi Wei didn’t seem very well-versed with this technique yet, she decided to use it anyway since she was running out of options at this point.
Just as she casted out this supreme skill, a powerful sword network of seemingly-fairies flew out, and charged towards Tang Tian Yang, who was so flabbergasted by the might of this attack, that he didn’t even counter the move.
“Ah!” Tang Tian Yang screamed out as Zi Wei’s sword injured his hand, making his weapon drop to the ground.
Zi Wei rested her sword on his neck, and Tang Tian Yang started begging for mercy: “Spare my life ah, I surrender, I concede my defeat…..”
“Since you’ve already conceded the fight, you might as well kowtow and admit your mistake now!” Zi Wei seemed rather cheerful.
Zi Wei wasn’t used to winning fights, and was rather excited now that she had won a real match.
“I was wrong, please have mercy.” Tang Tian Yang quickly knelt down to his knees and pressed his forehead against the ground in submission.
Zi Wei pointed to his other three companions and said: “There, them also….”
“Do a kowtow now!” the pale-faced Tang Tian Yang snapped at his friends.
“Miss, we were mistaken.”
The three men had also realized that their leader had lost the match, and therefore bent down to the ground and apologized since they were afraid that she might come down and fight them.
“And now my reward.” Zi Wei extended her hand.
Zi Wei took the spars, climbed down the stairs, and then walked over to Bi Fan, smiled and said: “See, I’m qualified enough to protect you, aren’t I?”
“Yes, you’re very strong!…..” Bi Fan really didn’t know what else to say.
“If we were out in the wild, then I would’ve obviously killed these goons.” Zi Wei stated.
“Oh.. well.” Bi Fan was still pondering over the martial technique that he had just seen. This skill was extremely sharp and powerful, and was even more advanced than the ones that Yan Yu Si and Xuan Yuan Po Jun had used in the tournament previously.
Unfortunately, the fight had ended before Zi Wei was able to display the entire collection of moves, and Bi Fan was already itching to see the rest of it.
Therefore, Bi Fan decided to keep her around for bit more since it could mean that he might get a chance to see the rest of the skill set.
The sun set in the sky soon enough, and Bi Fan made no attempts to contest in any of the rings the entire day, but he was still reluctant to leave since he wanted to see more action.
However, since Bi Fan had spent the entire day watching and learning different skill sets, he decided that it would be best to return to his hotel and replay them all in his head once.
“Miss Zi Wei, let’s go back to my hotel.” Bi Fan stated.
“Yes! I’m so tired, I just want to go back and take a bath, and I want some rest.” Zi Wei started clapping her hands.
Bi Fan looked at the innocence on her face, and simply couldn’t understand that unspeakable feeling that gripped his heart in that brief moment.
Zi Wei had already changed into women’s clothing by now, and was looking rather adorable.
Zi Wei was quite young and feminine, and had a rather charming aura around her.
Since he was being accompanied by such a beautiful girl, the number of spies following after him increased by a bit.
Bi Fan payed no attention to them and quickly escorted Zi Wei back to his hotel.
Jing Feng and the others saw Bi Fan walking in with such a beautiful young girl, and couldn’t help themselves from staring at him with their eyes and mouths wide open.
“Brother Bi Fan, it seems that its time I started calling you ‘Lover Boy’…. you’ve barely been out for a day, and you’ve already picked up such a beautiful young girl ah!” Jing Feng said with a smile.
Bi Fan’s face suddenly flushed with embarra.s.sment: “Brother Jing Feng, please don’t tease me. I met this girl by accident, and I had no other option but to bring her here.”
Zi Wei sized up Jing Feng, Mo Nan, w.a.n.g Zhong, Blue Dragon and Ji Ying Lan, and then smiled and said: “You must be Bi Fan’s friends! You’re all decently strong… well, at least you’re all stronger than Bi Fan… but you’re still not stronger than me.”
Jing Feng and the others immediately realized that Zi Wei lacked practical experiences, and was a bit too innocent the moment she opened her mouth.
Jing Feng walked over to Bi Fan’s side and whispered: “Brother, tell me honestly, where did you pickup this beautiful girl?”
“I really didn’t, ah, she insisted on following me.” Bi Fan replied with a smile.
“What are the two of you whispering?” Zi Wei pouted, seemingly dissatisfied.
Bi Fan quickly spoke up: “Miss Zi Wei, aren’t you really tired, you should go up and get some rest.”
“Yes! Yes! I’m soaking in sweat after today’s tour, so I really need a proper bath now. Bi Fan, I tell you, don’t you leave without telling me first, okay?”
“Don’t worry, we’ll take you with us when we leave for the Storehouse.” Bi Fan replied rea.s.suringly.
Zi Wei looked at Bi Fan’s earnest expression, and sensed that he wasn’t lying, and hence she quickly went in search of a room to find accommodation in.
Seeing that Zi Wei was finally out of sight, Bi Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
“Brother Bi Fan, looks like you won’t miss Miss Yan Yu Si after all, huh?” Mo Nan teased.
“I don’t like Miss Yan Yu Si, so why will I miss her?” Bi Fan promptly defended himself.
“Okay, I was just saying…..”
“Brother Bi Fan, you’re not very honest with us. Even though you secretly like Miss Yan Yu Si, you still won’t admit it to us.” Jing Feng joined in.
“I don’t…. I’m telling you, I don’t.” Bi Fan’s face instantly turned red, and then he quickly turned around and ran back to his room.
“Ha Ha….” The five remaining companions broke into laugher.
