The Six Immortals

Chapter 152 – Li Qian Xun

Chapter 152 – Li Qian Xun

 

Mo Nan’s fight was supposed to take place on the first contest stage, in the first lot, and this group was const.i.tuted of a lot of strong fighters, who were unknown names as of now.

The Wu Ji Sect had a very strong fighter, who was inside the ‘transformation’ layer, whereas the Tian Shui, City Sect, and the Rising Sun Sect’s representatives weren’t very far behind either. The Quinyang Sect obviously had Mo Nan.

Xuan Liu Ge started the fight strongly, and quickly overwhelmed his opponent, and managed to win the fight in a matter of minutes.

Xuan Liu Ge attacked in such a fierce fashion, that he knocked his opponent out of the ring, injuring his opponent in the process.

The Wu Ji Sect disciples were quite sinister, and obviously wanted to declare their superiority over the others. Even when they were met with weak opponents, from smaller Sects, they would act as ruthlessly and mercilessly as possible.

Xuan Liu Ge’s eyes were constantly glaring at Bi Fan as he walked off the stage, almost as if he was trying to provoke Bi Fan.

Bi Fan’s face was as calm as ever, and he completely ignored Xuan Liu Ge.

An intermediate ‘transformation’ layer fighter wasn’t enough to excite Bi Fan’s desires.

Bi Fan’s ultimate goal was to compete against Wu Ji Xuan, and he wasn’t really bothering himself with the others.

Wu Ji Xuan had suppressed his practice in order to partic.i.p.ate in the Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon List; otherwise he would have already broken into the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer by now.

In fact, according to the rumors, Wu Ji Xuan was ready to make the breakthrough six months ago, but didn’t, since the Wu Ji Sect asked him to fight for their glory in the Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon List, once again.

Given the situation with Wu Ji Xuan, the Wu Ji Sect was quite sure that he’d win the championship again.

Xuan Liu Ge was also quite strong, but even though he was older than Wu Ji Xuan, he was still no match for his sect-mate.

Xuan Liu Ge was extremely furious to see that Bi Fan was plainly ignoring him, but was forced to suppress his anger; for now.

He expressed his desire in an undertone: “Bi Fan, boy, just you wait; I’ll bathe that stage with your blood.”

Bi Fan knew that Xuan Liu Ge was quite furious with him, but continued to ignore him all the same.

He was so enthralled in watching the contests, that he simply didn’t have time for these things.

Mo Nan’s opponent wasn’t very strong, owing to which he ended his fight quite early, post which, he returned to Bi Fan’s side.

He knew that Bi Fan liked to watch every contest, so he decided against disturbing Bi Fan.

In this batch of thirty-four, there were four other ‘transformation’ layer contestants, apart from Mo Nan and Xuan Liu Ge. Amongst these four was City Sect’s w.a.n.g Ming Fei, who ranked seventh in the tournament three years ago.

Bi Fan was watching the fights of the best fighters, but was also paying some attention to the other fights as well, as he wanted to learn as many new skills as possible.

At present, he was absorbed so many new skills, that it simply wasn’t possible for him to digest them all at once.

He wanted to infuse all these moves with ‘The Immortal Finger’ attack, but he knew that this process was bound to take a lot of time, and rushing it wouldn’t really help his case either.

“Brother Bi Fan, your contest is about to begin, you must hurry.” Mo Nan stated.

Bi Fan prepared himself, and started to make his way towards the ring.

Bi Fan’s opponent hailed from a small Sect, and Bi Fan had never heard of his this man before. The man, similarly, had never heard of Bi Fan, but upon seeing Bi Fan’s strength, he seemed quite confident of defeating Bi Fan.

Bi Fan’s expressionless face was concealing a wild desire to fight.

Regardless of his opponent’s strength, Bi Fan was going to very cautious, since he didn’t want to suffer an early set back.

Luo Sheng gritted his teeth as Bi Fan took the stage. But the real hatred was pouring from the Rising Sun Sect’s dressing area, as Jiang Sheng and Jiang Wen’s hateful eyes glared at Bi Fan.

Jiang Sheng was the boy who had tried to rob Bi Fan on route to the Devil’s territory entrance, and Jiang Wen is his older brother, and the man who Bi Fan had defeated inside the Devil’s territory during his first adventure with Blue Dragon and Jing Feng.

“Dear friends, listen carefully: the man on stage three, Bi Fan, is very strong. Do not get confused by his surface strength.” Jiang Wen cautioned his team mates.

Since his defeat at the hands of Bi Fan, inside the Devil’s territory, Jiang Wen had started taking a darker path of training, since he wanted to increase his strength and wanted to beat Jing Feng, Bi Fan and the others who were partic.i.p.ating in the Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon contest, and wished to shock everyone by winning the tournament this time.

Jiang Wen’s momentum started to erupt, and shocked many partic.i.p.ants, including Jing Feng, Wu Ji Xuan, w.a.n.g Feng, Hong Yun Tian etc.

Jing Feng was shocked: “Jiang Wen has managed to increase his strength to such a degree in a very short time! His strength seems to be wreaking of evil spirits… this can be very dangerous for us.”

However, Jing Feng wasn’t scared, and on the contrary, was quite excited. It’s difficult to find strong opponents, and he was glad that he had spotted another one.

Wu Ji Xuan’s face was as calm as a deadpan, and it was hard to guess his thoughts.

w.a.n.g Feng was looking very sharply at Jiang Wen, and it seemed like he was quite eager to fight Jiang Wen.

The same could be said for Hong Yun Tian, since she too didn’t seem to be afraid of strong compet.i.tion.

Inside the Ba Gua Sect’s dressing area, sat a thin and lean boy, and his entire body had started to tremble at this point.

“Child, are you okay?” A concerned voice enquired.

“Yes, Grandpa, I’m fine. I really want to fight against the strong guys, like this one.” The emaciated juvenile replied in a cold tone.

His name is Li Qian Xun, and he has risen through the Ba Gua Sect’s ranks very recently. Although little was known about him, he was expected to be quite strong.

Li Qian Xun wasn’t just strong, but was also quite ambitious. He wanted to acquire the first place in the Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon List, in order to help the Ba Gua Sect overwhelm the Quinyang Sect, so they could establish themselves as a top-five force.

Bi Fan felt the sudden surge in energy, which was coming from Jiang Wen, but since his contest was about to start soon, he didn’t bother to look around for its source.

Bi Fan intended on finishing the fight as quickly as possible, so he could observe the other fights.

Bi Fan’s opponent was out of luck, and was thrown out of the ring in just three punches.

The manner in which the man lost to Bi Fan, bewildered everyone, including the contestants on the other stages.

Bi Fan had used the most basic of moves, the ‘Wan Zu’ Boxing, against a man who was wielding a sword, and had managed to finish the fight with exceptional ease.

The man’s strength was lesser than Bi Fan’s visible strength, but the gap wasn’t even remotely enough to justify this sort of an outcome.

“Brother Bi Fan isn’t holding back this time, ah!” Mo Nan tried to shake off the shock.

The leading figures of the Jiu Yu City’s Sects had witnessed the manner in which Bi Fan had won his fight, and everyone had already started paying close attention to him. Even the referees and the judges couldn’t help but take notice of his display.

Wu Ji Xuan spoke: “Quinyang Sect’s Bi Fan is good; I must be careful against him.”

Even Xuan Liu Ge was beginning to take Bi Fan very seriously now, and Bi Fan’s use of a simple method like the ‘Wan Zu’ boxing to end a fight in just three strikes was beginning to cause a sensation inside the arena.

Jiang Wen’s eyes were gleaming with splendor, as he stated in an undertone: “Bi Fan’s strength seems to have increase quite a lot, and it appears that the championship has one more serious contender.”

“Brother, you have to avenge me by killing Bi Fan.” Jiang Sheng said.

Jiang Sheng was frightened by the manner in which Bi Fan’s strength had increased.

Jiang Wen wasn’t paying any attention to his younger brother, since his mind had already started contemplating means of killing Bi Fan in front of everyone.

Bi Fan was quite strong, which meant that killing him wouldn’t be very easy, especially due to the presence of a referee.

Jiang Wen was already getting a headache, since was afraid that Bi Fan would catch up to him in due course of time. Bi Fan’s talent was a very rare thing in the Jiu Yu City, and he didn’t want such compet.i.tion.

Bi Fan hurriedly stepped off the stage, post his victory.

At this time, most of the fights were still continuing, and Bi Fan had plenty of time to memorize the skills on display.

As he continued to memorize more and more skills, his heart started to brim with happiness. He had even started imagining the look on the faces of his opponents, if he decided to beat them using their own skills.

With the fusion of ‘The Immortal Finger’, he could increase the power output of any skill, but the skill would still appear very similar to its original style.

If Bi Fan was to integrate ‘The Immortal Finger’ into the Yin Yang Shield, then the eyeb.a.l.l.s of the Wu Ji Sect disciples would surely drop to the floor.

However, Bi Fan knew that he wouldn’t be able to implement this desire of his, since integrating these new skills would take a lot of time, and he’d have to undertake several failed experiments before finding success.

Soon, all the contests ended, and Bi Fan and Mo Nan returned to their seats.

“Brother Bi Fan, Brother Mo Nan, congratulations on your victory!” Jing Feng smiled.

Luo Sheng stated in a cold voice: “If they had lost to such weaklings, then they would have been a complete disgrace to the Sect’s name.”

“Luo Sheng, you’re up soon, let’s see how much honor you bring to the Quinyang Sect.” Jing Feng smiled.

As for Bi Fan and Mo Nan, they felt like making a meal out of Luo Sheng, but had to make-do with just glaring at him.

If it weren’t for Luo Xiao Tian’s presence, they certainly would have put his mouth in its place by now.

“Well! At least I won’t be the one to bring disgrace to our Sect.” Luo Sheng replied loudly.

“I’ll be looking forward to your display then.” Jing Feng smiled again.

Luo Xiao Tian spoke in an authoritative manner: “Do not quarrel.”

“We are in the presence of outsiders right now, at least show some unanimity. You mustn’t make a joke out of the Quinyang Sect’s reputation; are your personal indifferences so important huh?” Ling Xin Ya scolded.

Ling Xin Ya’s words were directed at Mo Nan, Jing Feng and Bi Fan, and the trio lowered their heads.
