Chapter 190 – Wu Ji Xuan Advances
Even though Bi Fan was under pressure, he didn’t seem to be in a hurry since he knew that he was not in any immediate danger.
Since this was an excellent opportunity to align his fighting style with the Chimera, Bi Fan naturally didn’t wish to cut it short.
Bi Fan had already ordered the Chimera to refrain from using his most powerful weapon; the black fire.
Whenever things got out of hand, Bi Fan would use his ‘Immortal Finger’ attack to push Wu Ji Xuan back momentarily.
‘The Immortal Finger’ was a really powerful attack, but most importantly, was exceptionally difficult to detect. Since Wu Ji Xuan was also unable to detect this near invisible attack, he was acting cautiously as well.
They had been fighting fiercely for a long time now, but still Wu Ji Xuan hadn’t been able to lay a finger on Bi Fan until this point.
“Bi Fan, I admit that you’re extremely powerful, but you still don’t have any chances of winning!” Wu Ji Xuan had been getting very impatient.
“Well, it looks that other way right now; I’m getting better and better in cooperating with my Chimera, and you’ll eventually have to concede….” Bi Fan laughed back.
“I know; but it’s time to show you my real strength now!” Wu Ji Xuan narrated in a cold tone.
Suddenly, Wu Ji Xuan’s momentum burst out and started reaching new heights.
Bi Fan felt a strange chill running down his spine all of a sudden.
“Oh, Wu Ji Xuan is trying to make the break through right now….?” Yan Yu Si cried out in fear.
Yan Yu Si was unable to control her concern; otherwise she would never have spoken out in this manner.
“Wu Ji Xuan was already at the peak of the ‘transformation’ layer three years ago….. three years is more than enough time to make the breakthrough; he must have been suppressing it intentionally.” Jing Feng a.n.a.lyzed.
“If Wu Ji Xuan makes that breakthrough right now then we won’t be able to do anything about it…. and Bi Fan is sure to lose the fight in that event.” Ling Xin Ya sighed.
The faces of the Quinyang Sect delegation had suddenly turned very unsightly out of sheer concern for Bi Fan.
Meanwhile, Luo Sheng and Luo Xiong were trying hard to conceal their smiles.
The Wu Ji Sect disciples seemed very happy with this new turn of events, and had already started laughing and chatting loudly.
“Brother Wu Ji Xuan is finally making the breakthrough! He could have made that breakthrough two years ago, but he had intentionally suppressed it until now.”
“Oh, Brother Wu Ji Xuan should have made that breakthrough a long time ago….”
The Wu Ji Sect disciples were openly expressing their opinions, comforted by their belief that Wu Ji Xuan would be undefeatable in this tournament after making the formidable breakthrough.
Not only the Wu Ji Sect, even the other Sects were convinced that after making the breakthrough, Wu Ji Xuan would be far beyond any other outer disciple’s reach.
“If Wu Ji Xuan makes the breakthrough then Bi Fan will not be able to match up to him.”
“Yes ah, it seems that he was the strongest fighter all along.”
Bi Fan sensed the danger and shouted out: “Chimera, let’s charge!”
Bi Fan and Chimera simultaneously charged towards Wu Ji Xuan.
“Roar!” The Scared Tiger planted himself in front of the meditating Wu Ji Xuan.
The hairs on the tiger’s body were erect in fear of his two opponents, but his eyes were clearly stating his rebellion, ‘Not while I’m around.’
“Sacred Tiger, since you wish to court death, I’ll grant you your wish.” Bi Fan commanded in a cold voice: “Chimera, kill it!”
The Chimera despised the Sacred Tiger, so he was obviously attacking mercilessly, but now that Bi Fan had given the secret command, the Chimera started to prepare his formidable weapon.
Bi Fan charged again to obstruct the meditating Wu Ji Xuan but was blocked off by the Sacred Tiger once again.
Bi Fan’s face became pale since he was well aware that it would impossible to obstruct Wu Ji Xuan’s practice unless the Sacred Tiger was killed off first.
“Glorious Tiger, you’re dead now!” Bi Fan thought to himself.
Bi Fan used his right hand to cast out ‘The Floating Sword’, while using his left hand to eject a five-fingered ‘Immortal Finger’ attack.
Bi Fan’s powerful sword attack was hard enough for the Sacred Tiger to deal with, which when accompanied by the explosive invisible attack, made it near impossible for the Tiger to evade the combination in time. Even though the tiger somehow managed to dodge the sword and three of ‘The Immortal Finger’ bursts, he was caught by the remaining two strikes, which punctured two b.l.o.o.d.y holes in its body.
“Woo!” The Sacred Tiger wailed out loudly.
“Poof!” The Chimera sized its opportunity and sprayed out the flame.
This was the first time that the Chimera was using its flame after its evolution.
Post its evolution, the Chimera’s black colored fire had condensed in its size, but had become far more influential and powerful in its make.
The black colored conflagration made a bee-line for the Scared Tiger.
The Sacred Tiger immediately realized the threat of the incoming attack and promptly ducked side ways to dodge the fire, but found his way blocked by Bi Fan’s incoming attack.
Seeing his way blocked by Bi Fan, the Sacred Tiger suddenly discharged a white colored ice-ish beam straight back at the Chimera’s flame.
The Sacred Tiger had used its own secret attack in the hope of obstructing the black flame, but the Chimera’s flame was so powerful that it immediately melted the ice beam, and continued to charge towards its trapped target.
The Sacred Tiger was unable to react in time and remained glued to its spot, and was caught by the fire.
“Boom!” the Sacred Tiger’s entire body was enveloped in the black colored flame.
“Woooo……” the Sacred Tiger issued wild and desperate screams, begging for help as it started to roll on the floor in an attempt to extinguish the fire, which continued to grow bigger and bigger.
Bi Fan smiled slyly as he thought: “No one can save you now Sacred Tiger… ha ha….”
Seeing that his main obstruction was incapable of blocking him anymore, Bi Fan sprang towards the meditating Wu Ji Xuan.
As Wu Ji Xuan’s momentum had continued to grow, his body had started to exude a white colored ray, which had enveloped his whole body in a coc.o.o.n.
Bi Fan had finally been presented with an opportunity to obstruct Wu Ji Xuan’s advance, and had desperately sprung forward to utilize it properly.
Even though Bi Fan was quick to react, he was once again stopped by the flaming Sacred Tiger, who even in his dying moments wasn’t prepared to budge from its duty.
Bi Fan backed away instantly since he was aware of the contagiously corrosive nature of his pet’s flame.
“Ah!” Wu Ji Xuan roared out as he stood up again with his head held high.
But then he saw his dying pet, and his entire body started to tremble with rage.
“Sacred Tiger…..”
Wu Ji Xuan’s eyes were red with rage: “Bi Fan! You killed my Sacred Tiger! Now you’re dead!”
After breaking into the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer, Wu Ji Xuan’s internal energy had directly reached twenty eight Yun Shi.
And as the Aura started to rinse his body’s meridians, his physical strength also saw a huge surge, and had reached nineteen Yun Shi now, which was almost powerful enough to compete with an ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer fighter on its own.
Wu Ji Xuan’s total strength had now suddenly reached forty seven Yun Shi, which head-to-head was enough to pulp-wash Bi Fan.
Bi Fan burst forth with his entire strength, all twenty eight Yun Shi of it, but still fell short of Wu Ji Xuan.
This sudden burst in the red-eyed Wu Ji Xuan’s momentum had left the entire arena shuddering with fear.
Bi Fan was unable to stand his ground, and was forced to retreat backwards.
Bi Fan wasn’t the only one who was afraid of Wu Ji Xuan’s new strength; even the Chimera was visibly scared of Wu Ji Xuan.
Even though the Chimera was as strong as an ‘Emerging from the Womb’ human, his physical strength and internal energy were still not sufficient to add up to even forty Yun Shi.
“Bi Fan, since you’ve killed my pet, I’ll kill yours!” Wu Ji Xuan roared vengefully.
“Kill my pet? You’re dreaming!” Bi Fan suddenly burst out laughing.
“Really? Now, I’ll show you what I can really do!” Wu Ji Xuan was hysterical at this point.
Bi Fan wasn’t willing to back down either: “Now that you’re stronger, you’re finally worth of being my true opponent.”
