Chapter 223 – Zi Wei"s ident.i.ty exposed!
"It doesn"t look good. Bi Fan is in danger!" Zi Wei shouted in an alarmed tone. She had never been so anxious.
The next moment, Zi Wei rushed towards Bi Fan.
"Hahahaha….!"
Although Bi Fan"s face was turning pale due to excessive blood loss and he was unable to stand straight, he was still laughing and mocking his enemies.
Bi Fan had recently integrated his "immortal finger" technique with "Quinyang Fufeng double edged sword" technique. Although it was just one martial skill that he had achieved this feat with, its might had increased by leaps and bounds now.
Watching Bi Fan laugh at them, the remaining two "developing marrow" layer martial artists got scared. They looked at each other and launched a fierce attack again.
They were clearly aware of the fact that if they didn"t take the advantage of the opportunity right now, Bi Fan would kill them both without any major difficulty.
The immortal Fufeng sword!
Bi Fan displayed his newly comprehended skill once again, but unfortunately the attack was not as powerful as it earlier had been.
Bi Fan only managed to injure those two men with his attack. His moves weren"t powerful enough to kill them.
"He is lacking strength, come on!"
"What games is fate playing with me? It was just now that I comprehended this unique skill. I can"t die like this!" Bi Fan thought to himself as he cried in his heart.
"Bi Fan, I"m here to help you!" Zi Wei"s voice instilled a surge of strength in Bi Fan. He gathered all his courage to display "dance of mist" footwork once again.
Zi Wei rushed forward and blocked the path of the two "developing marrow" layer men.
Although Zi Wei was quite powerful and was able to easily defeat a "developing marrow" layer person, fighting simultaneously with two "developing marrow" layer people wasn"t possible for her.
Hong Yan was hesitant at first, but soon she rushed out of the hiding place in order to aid Zi Wei in blocking the two men to save Bi Fan.
As Bi Fan saw Zi Wei and Hong Yan blocking the two men, he utilised this time to absorb Yuan Dan and Wupin Dan which immediately stopped his bleeding.
Since he was surrounded by several other powerful people, Bi Fan didn"t dare to stop even for a moment. He immediately returned to the hiding place as he had his Chimera to protect him there.
Zi Wei and Hong Yan"s appearance had caught the attention of several people there as both the girls had stepped into "emerging from the womb" layer. Moreover, had it not been for their strength level, they would"ve certainly been noticed by everyone for their unparalleled beauty.
"Miss Hong Yan, I can"t believe you too have entered the storehouse!" The martial artists of the Hong School had clearly recognised her.
Hong Yan was not at all surprised with these people for she knew their motives.
"Miss Zi Wei, when did you enter the storehouse?" A disciple of Bai Sheng Palace had recognised Zi Wei and had inadvertently exposed her true ident.i.ty.
Hong Yan"s eyes turned red with anger as she shouted at Zi Wei: "You liar! You have been deceiving me all this time! You are a girl!"
"Hong Yan, believe me, I had no intention of deceiving you….." Zi Wei tried to explain in haste.
Unfortunately for her, her opponent"s attack was so fierce that she couldn"t spare herself a single moment to talk to Hong Yan.
"You are a girl! Bi Fan and the other boys knew about it. You all lied to me! I hate you!" Tears streamed through Hong Yan"s eyes as she covered her face with her hands and ran away.
When Zi Wei finally got rid of her opponent, in spite of wanting to pursue Hong Yan, she chose to return to Bi Fan in order to protect him.
Hong Yan was heartbroken and couldn"t be reasoned with. Zi Wei had really deceived Hong Yan in letting her think that she was a boy. She did nothing to stop Hong Yan from falling in love with Zi Wei, the boy.
In the meanwhile, Jing Feng and the other boys hastily returned to the hiding place as they had seen Bi Fan getting injured.
"Why did Hong Yan leave?" Jing Feng asked.
The boys had only seen Hong Yan running away; they had no idea of what actually had happened.
Zi Wei sighed: "Hong Yan came to know about my real ident.i.ty. She was so hurt that she started crying and left the place. I had no time to explain everything to her. Now she thinks all of us deceived her. I just hope she doesn"t do anything stupid….."
Jing Feng, Mo Nan and the other boys felt guilty of putting Hong Yan in such a condition since they all had helped Zi Wei in upholding her facade of being a boy.
Hong Yan was hurt beyond any imagination. First she came to know that the boy she loved belonged to her rival school and now she discovered that the same boy was actually not a boy at all!
While Hong Yan had a hard time accepting that Zi Wei was a girl, she could simply not accept the fact that Jing Feng, Bi Fan and every other boy was already aware of Zi Wei"s actual ident.i.ty and had been keeping it a secret from her all this time.
"Zi Wei, Bi Fan, you will have to pay for the injustice have done to me. I, Hong Yan, pledge my eternal hatred to you!" Hong Yan vowed to herself as she continued to run.
Heartbroken women are the most vengeful ones. Reasoning Hong Yan out of this sworn enmity was impossible now.
When Bi Fan woke up and came to know about what all had pa.s.sed between Zi Wei and Hong Yan, he felt quite uneasy at heart.
Hong Yan must have been greatly hurt by this discovery and Bi Fan felt equally guilty of hurting her.
"Oh… Now we have to find Hong Yan and explain everything to her." Bi Fan sighed.
They were unaware of what plans might Hong Yan have next. Unfortunately for them, she would not be affectionate to Zi Wei anymore.
Pondering over the situation, Bi Fan and the other boys lost their interest in the treasure.
"We should leave this place now and find the transportation token first." Bi Fan said.
Just when they were about to leave, a "developing marrow" layer martial artist approached them.
"Miss Zi Wei, come with me. My group will protect you."
"Leave me alone and go away. I don"t want to join you." Zi Wei coldly said.
"Miss Zi Wei, there are several people in the storehouse that may bear hideous intentions towards you. I want to protect you from them." The boy said as he looked towards Bi Fan and the other boys with envious eyes. He clearly liked Zi Wei and didn"t want her to venture out with unknown boys. He kept himself calm just because of Zi Wei; otherwise he wouldn"t have refrained from killing them.
"Go away! I can take care of myself." Zi Wei was indifferent.
"Such being the case, I shall take your leave." The boy gave a hateful glance to Bi Fan and the other boys before leaving.
Jing Feng said: "Zi Wei, who was this boy? Is he your fellow disciple? The way he was looking at us made him feel like dig his eyes out!"
"His name is Zhu Aotian. Please don"t pay any attention to him." Zi Wei replied.
After getting delayed because of Zhu Aotian, the team didn"t want to waste any more time.
"Let"s find some peaceful place first. I need some time to heal." Bi Fan said.
A few minutes ago, Bi Fan had been engaged in a gruesome fight and had managed to kill two people who were more powerful than him, but this fight had been won at a great cost. Although he had not received any injuries on the vital organs, his body was full of scars and cuts. Excessive bleeding had weakened him.
Jing Feng led the way while the Chimera walked behind as they all moved further in search some peaceful place.
Although Bi Fan didn"t know the exact location of the transportation token, he had seen the direction in which the token flew away. He guided everyone in the same direction.
In spite of not being sure whether he would be able to seize the token, Bi Fan didn"t lose hope and continued to move forward.
In this world, one had to persistently follow whatever he wanted; there was no other way they could obtain that thing.
Although he was unaware of what dangers he might have to face there, Bi Fan accompanied Jing Feng and the others to the place.
The fight had left Bi Fan severely injured, but the display of his strength had made all the other people who had been fighting there refrain from following him.
After walking for a great distance, it seemed to Bi Fan that there was a lake ahead.
"I want to heal my wounds first before advancing further. Please stay around." Bi Fan said as he sat down a tree to meditate.
In such dangerous circ.u.mstances, it was important for him to restore his strength.
