Chapter 156 – The Tao Bao Complex
‘The Yin Yang Sword’ attack had created a network of sword blades, which was covering the entire stage now.
Bi Fan was trying to find room to survive inside the gaps of this network of blades, and if weren’t for the sky-blue suit which he had received from Yu Qing Yang, then he might have injured himself.
Bi Fan started using ‘The dance of mist’ footwork, and it appeared as if was dancing now, since he had started twisting and turning his body, as he continued to dodge Xuan Liu Ge’s attacks.
Meanwhile, Bi Fan was also watching Xuan Liu Ge’s movements very carefully, and was trying to memorize them by heart.
“Boy, where’s your arrogance now, huh?”
Xuan Liu Ge started casting out the most powerful form of ‘The Yin Yang Sword’ attack, and the network became even denser, making it very hard for Bi Fan to evade his attacks.
Bi Fan realized that Xuan Liu Ge had already cast out the best of his skills, and decided to launch a counter attack.
“The Flying Willow! A Thousand Willow Needles!”
Bi Fan employed the strongest two forms of the ‘Fufeng Double-edged Sword’, along with the changes that he had made to the skills.
Numerous blades charged out, and collided with Xuan Liu Ge’s sword network.
“Bang Bang Bang Bang…..” the swords collided giving rise to loud sounds, and the network that Xuan Liu Ge had created gradually dissipated.
Even Xuan Liu Ge’s attack was neutralized, Bi Fan’s attack hadn’t yet faded out, and his attacks started landing on Xuan Liu Ge’s body.
Xuan Liu Ge had been focusing his entire attention on attacking, and wasn’t even slightly prepared to defend, since he hadn’t expected Bi Fan to launch such a sharp and sudden counter attack.
Xuan Liu Ge’s face started going pale, since he had sustained several injuries in a matter of seconds.
Bi Fan’s sword was constantly swirling around, and his blade was beginning to harass Xuan Liu Ge now.
Xuan Liu Ge knew that he’ll injure himself very seriously if he wasn’t careful, and quickly cast out the ‘Tai Chi Sword’ to defend, since he didn’t want to give up yet.
Bi Fan’s agility was at its pinnacle, and it appeared as if Bi Fan’s silhouette was completely surrounding Xuan Liu Ge’s body.
Bi Fan was constantly attacking Xuan Liu Ge, and even though his sword was piercing every gap in his opponent’s defense, its effect wasn’t visible since Xuan Liu Ge hadn’t sustained any new injuries.
Jing Feng was completely bewildered: “Brother Bi Fan is clearly more powerful, and but I don’t get this…. He could have beaten Xuan Liu Ge several times in the last minute itself, but then why hasn’t he done it yet?”
“Because he wants to humiliate Xuan Liu Ge.” Yan Yu Si said lightly.
Her beautiful eyes were constantly following Bi Fan’s every movement, and the gleam in her eyes was clearly expressing the joy of her heart.
“If Bi Fan continues to grow at this rate, then he’ll be capable of becoming the backbone of the Quinyang Sect soon.” Yan Yu Si was in a very cheerful mood at the moment.
“Ah!” Xuan Liu Ge suddenly uttered a scream.
“Haha….” The spectators in the stadium broke into laughter.
As it turns out, Bi Fan’s attacks were constantly being aimed at Xuan Liu Ge’s clothing, and now, Xuan Liu Ge had been stripped of his shirt, and was standing on the stage half naked.
“I give up…..” Xuan Liu Ge’s words were filled with complain, while eyes were wishing Bi Fan dead.
What Bi Fan had done, was worse than death for him.
On top of that, Xuan Liu Ge was a Wu Ji Sect disciple, and was stronger than Bi Fan on the surface, so naturally, being stripped half-naked in front of over two hundred thousand people was a very shameful thing for him.
Xuan Liu Ge wasn’t the only one who had been ashamed, the entire Wu Ji Sect was feeling the disgrace, and the eyes of their disciples were red with rage, and most of them were itching to kill Bi Fan.
Luo Xian Tian stated in a cold tone: “Bi Fan took it too far, and has managed to anger the entire Wu Ji Sect. As the contest progresses and we encounter more of their disciples, we are sure to face a strong retaliation from them.”
“It doesn’t matter. The Wu Ji Sect is trying to assist the Ba Gua Sect in replacing the Quinyang Sect, so they were already hitting us very hard. Bi Fan’s actions have improved our position, since now their Sect would be more careful in dealing with the Quinyang Sect, so I’d say that Bi Fan did a good job.” Yan Yu Si spoke up.
Luo Xiong started trembling with rage since Yan Yu Si was always willing to defend Bi Fan, and couldn’t wait to kill Bi Fan himself.
After winning the fight, Bi Fan didn’t boast in front of the crowd, and slowly walked down the stage.
“I’ve never heard of this Bi Fan before, but it seems like the Quinyang Sect’s dark horse might actually end up winning this.”
“The Wu Ji Sect’s fights with the Quinyang Sect are definitely going to very exciting now. On top of that, the Ba Gua Sect, the City Sect, the Tian Shui Sect and the Rising Sun Sect also have some very good fighters, so it looks like the contest is going to be very intense this time.”
The more intense the tournament, the more fulfilling it would be for the spectators.
The manner in which Bi Fan had shamed Xuan Liu Ge had offended many people in the Wu Ji Sect, but he had managed to win the appraisal of the crowd, and many people were now supporting Bi Fan for the championship.
After the contest ended, Bi Fan returned to the Quinyang Sect’s seating area.
The atmosphere inside the seating area was quite weird, since everyone knew that Luo Xiao Tian wasn’t happy with Bi Fan’s actions. Luo Xiong hid his true sentiments very well, and put up a smiling face, and even walked up to Bi Fan in order to congratulate him.
Most of the other core disciples ignored Bi Fan, since they all desired Yan Yu Si.
Nothing can be done about this; most of them fancied Yan Yu Si, but had never been able to catch her eye, unlike Bi Fan did, who now seemed very important to her, so obviously their hearts wished him ill.
“Brother Bi Fan, well done. Nice way to teach those arrogant Wu Ji guys a lesson, and I hope you do the same to Wu Ji Xuan.” Jing Feng laughed.
Luo Sheng commented in a cold voice: “It’s one thing to beat up Xuan Liu Ge, and an entirely different matter to fight Wu Ji Xuan.”
Bi Fan didn’t wish to bother himself with Luo Sheng, so he completely ignored his comment. He knew that Luo Sheng didn’t like him at all.
But Mo Nan and Jing Feng couldn’t stand it anymore and glared at Luo Sheng coldly, but didn’t say anything to him due to Luo Xiong’s presence.
Luo Sheng had a very cheap mouth on him, and if wasn’t for his backer’s power, he would have definitely gotten himself beaten up by now.
“Bi Fan, that was a good one, even though you played it a little dirty in the end.” Lin Qing Yao said.
Luo Jia laughed: “Young Bi Fan, you should have done more; you should have paraded him around the stage, completely naked.”
Bi Fan forced a smile, as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. Luo Jia was quite literally a very devilish little woman.
Had he stripped Xuan Liu Ge completely naked on that stage, then Xuan Liu Ge would have surely committed suicide, and it wouldn’t be surprising if the entire Wu Ji Sect had decided to come after Bi Fan.
As the contest proceeded, Wu Ji Xuan and Jing Feng managed to win their fights quite comfortably.
Even though the first round was only half over after today’s contest, the round was more or less decided now, but would official end after the third day’s fights.
Tomorrow’s contest would be the most boring day of the tournament, since it was very highly unlikely for someone to miss out on the qualification after notching two straight wins.
The contest was intentionally organized in this manner, since it would allow the likely winners of the first round some rest.
There was a lot of free time in afternoon.
“The contest has been very exhausting so far, and you can all have some free time in the afternoon now. But remember to return to the Hotel by evening time, and do not go around causing trouble in the city.” Luo Xiao Tian stated, after they had all eaten a hearty lunch.
The Quinyang Sect wanted to broaden the horizons of its disciples, and it wouldn’t be much use to make them spend their days inside the Traveler’s Tavern, which is why Luo Xiao Tian allowed them to go touring around the city.
Anyway, the Jiu Yu City was very heavily patrolled during the hosting of these tournaments, and it was forbidden to cause any conflicts on the streets, which meant that the streets would be quite safe at this time.
Any breach of the city’s rules would be taken very seriously by the administration of the tournament.
“Awesome!” many disciples cheered as soon as Luo Xiao Tian made the announcement.
Luo Xiong walked over to Yan Yu Si, and asked: “Miss Yan Yu Si, would you like to accompany me to the Heavenly Dragon’s Tao Bao complex?”
“You go ahead, I don’t want to go.” Yan Yu Si flatly refused him.
Since his court was rebuffed again, Luo Xiong backed away, and left with a group of other core disciples.
Soon, most of the disciples scattered into small groups and left for a tour of the city.
Now, only Jing Feng, Mo Nan, Bi Fan etc were left, meaning that their ten-strong group was likely to go out together again.
“Sister, take us to the Tao Bao complex, they have a huge selection of items on sale, and we will all be able to buy some necessary items there.” Luo Jia gently pulled at Yan Yu Si’s arm, as she flashed her pampered look.
The outer disciples were also looking at Yan Yu Si with a hopeful look in their eyes.
The Tao Bao Complex is a very reputed establishment under the Heavenly Dragon business group’s banner, and is as highly reputed as their auction house. This shopping complex has a lot of valuable items on sale, and anyone can buy them as long as they can arrange the money.
Moreover, this complex prefers to keep the origination of these items a secret, and only likes to talk about the price.
Bi Fan had heard about the Tao Bao complex, and wanted to exchange all the items that he had obtained inside the Devil’s Abyss for spars there. The Tao Bao complex was an ideal buyer for his possessions, since they didn’t care about the manner in which these items were obtained.
The Heavenly Dragon Business group was a large and reputed establishment, and Bi Fan wouldn’t have to worry about his safety there.
“Bi Fan, where do you intend to go today?” Yan Yu Si asked.
“I want to go to the Tao Bao Complex, but I don’t know the way.” Bi Fan said.
“Well, I’ll take you to the Tao Bao Complex.” Yan Yu Si smiled.
Luo Jia pouted, as she teased: “…… Sister, you’re so biased. When I asked you to take us to the Tao Bao complex, you simply ignored me, and now that young Bi Fan wants to go there, you immediately agreed.”
“Luo Jia, now you’re asking for a fight ah!” Yan Yu Si’s face suddenly become red and she started chasing after Luo Jia to teach her a lesson, looking very adorable and cute as she did this.
Bi Fan’s heart started to race wildly.
“Does Miss Yan Yu Si really like me?” Bi Fan simply couldn’t believe the idea.
