Chapter 179 – An Unfavorable Situation
(Regular Chapter.)
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
Jing Feng swept his hegemon pike at Jiang Wen at the same time that the latter slashed his sword at him. Since both men attacked at the same time, neither was able to dodge the other’s attack, and both men injured their arms.
Now, both the men were injured and both men were tired; however, their injuries weren’t very serious.
Both men struggled back onto their feet since neither wanted to give up.
Both men were carrying the same idea: Win the fight at any cost.
They resumed fighting, and continued to attack each other at the same time.
Since they were both fatigued, it became harder to dodge the attacks, and in a flash of an arrow, both men had sustained more injuries, and were struggling to get back to their feet at this point.
“Ha ha, Jiang Wen, I will beat you this time; at any cost!” Jing Feng laughed loudly; it seemed as if he had lost his mind.
“You…. You’ve gone mad!” Jiang Wen looked terrified of Jing Feng’s demeanor.
Jiang Wen was also desperate to win, but he also knew that he’d have to fight one more contest today. In case he injured himself very seriously, then he may not be able to participate further…. So even if he managed to win the fight, it still wouldn’t be worth it.
“I concede the fight. I’m not fighting against this lunatic.” Jiang Wen stated loudly.
Jing Feng struggled back to his feet, but immediately fell down on the ground.
“I finally won!” Jing Feng said in a loud voice.
“Quick! Let’s go and help Brother Jing Feng.” Bi Fan said.
Bi Fan and Mo Nan quickly ducked out of the dressing room, and hurried down to get Jing Feng back.
“Jing Feng, are you okay?” everyone was worried about Jing Feng since his body was wounded in three places, and his wounds were bleeding incessantly.
Although neither of the injuries were dangerous to his life, he was still bleeding quite a bit, and people were afraid that he may not be able to participate in the evening round.
Ling Xin Ya personally checked Jing Feng’s condition and bandaged his wounds, and then said: “Jing Feng, you must quickly take a Dan pellet and start working on restoring your energy.”
“Yes!” Jing Feng was in a very merry mood after beating Jiang Wen.
Since Jing Feng was busy in restoring his energy, no one disturbed him.
The contest continued, and Li Qian Xun ran out of luck again. This time, he met Hong Yun Tian.
Hong Yun Tian was extremely powerful, but Li Qian Xun was no less. Their contest was very exciting, but the end startled the crowd’s expectations.
Li Qian Xun actually managed to beat Hong Yun Tian, but only at the cost of sustaining severe injuries.
Even though Li Qian Xun and Hong Yun Tian’s contest was very exciting, it wasn’t as good as Jiang Wen and Jing Feng’s. However, both contests ended on a tragic note.
In fact, Li Qian Xun’s injuries were far more serious than Jing Feng’s, and it seemed as if he may not be able to participate in the evening round.
The Quinyang Sect disciples were quite happy to see that Li Qian Xun had injured himself so seriously since he had the same points as Jing Feng at this stage in the tournament.
If Li Qian Xun was strong enough to beat Hong Yun Tian, then he was certainly strong enough to match Jing Feng, which meant that if the two men were required to fight each other in the tie breakers, then Jing Feng may lose.
Since he may not be able to participate any further, and was quite likely to lose even if he insisted on participating despite his injury, the Quinyang Sect disciples were obviously relishing their luck.
“Li Qian Xun is awfully strong, but fortunately he’s seriously injured now; otherwise we would have had a hard time against him.” Mo Nan laughed.
“Yes, he’s strong enough to match Brother Jing Feng. His injury is a good thing for the Quinyang Sect.” Ji Ying Lan smiled.
The contest continued and Bi Fan luckily bumped into Zhong Jian’s Du Feng.
Even though Du Feng wasn’t particularly strong, his powerful fighting style and heavy sword would still be quite difficult to deal with.
Bi Fan had wanted to test the style out in person, and was quite glad that he was being presented with the opportunity.
Du Feng knew that he was no match for Bi Fan, but he still wasn’t inclined on admitting his defeat easily since the two sects’ didn’t have a harmonious relationship.
Bi Fan didn’t act out aggressively when the fight started since he wanted to get his opponent’s best moves out of the closet.
Du Feng, as a result, was quite relieved to see that Bi Fan wasn’t as strong as he had imagined, and ended up giving Bi Fan his wish.
In an instant, the two men ended up exchanging hundreds of blows, but it didn’t seem like either of them was winning the contest.
“What is Brother Bi Fan doing? He could have finished this a long time ago, so why is he still dragging it out?” Mo Nan still hadn’t understood Bi Fan’s intention.
Yan Yu Si explained: “Bi Fan seems to be purposefully concealing his strength since he wants to learn his opponent’s skill set.”
“Miss, are you saying that Bi Fan wants to learn the Zhong Jian sect’s sword-play styles?” Lin Qing Yao asked.
“No.” Yan Yu Si was sure of her answer.
As the fight continued, Du Feng started running out of new moves.
“That ought to be the end.”
Bi Fan quickly launched a fierce attack, and overpowered Du Feng in two moves.
Du Feng was very surprised in the sudden manner in which Bi Fan overpowered him, and felt as if his opponent was cheating.
Even though Du Feng was quite angry, he admitted his defeat since he knew that he wouldn’t be able to win now.
As the contest progressed, Mo Nan won his fight easily, while Ji Ying Lan ran into Wang Feng and promptly conceded the fight since the man was an ally.
On the overall, the Quinyang Sect’s performance had been exceptional. So far, Bi Fan had won all his matches, while Mo Nan and Jing Feng had only lost one match each.
In fact, it could be said that this was the Sect’s best performance in almost a century.
“Let’s have a proper rest and prepare for the evening round.” Luo Xiao Tian stated.
Since the Quinyang Sect was doing so well, the leader, Luo Xiao Tian, was naturally quite happy about it. Although he was still not very satisfied with Bi Fan.
Even though Bi Fan was his best performer, Bi Fan had managed to offend both his grandsons, so he obviously couldn’t help despising the youngster.
After the morning contest, there were only three people who had managed to remain unbeaten so far in the contest; namely, Bi Fan, Xuan Yuan Xiao Yu and Wu Ji Xuan.
If the trio continued to remain unbeaten at the end of the third round, then things were quite likely to get very unfavorable for Bi Fan, and he was unlikely to win the championship under those circumstances.
Moreover, both the contests would be carried out on the same day; so basically, Bi Fan would have to beat them in quick succession, which was practically impossible for him. Even if he managed to win the first fight, he wouldn’t be able to recover enough energy to win the second fight.
Bi Fan had already started thinking of alternatives since he didn’t wish to lose the championship after coming this far.
Xuan Yuan Xiao Yu had been very lucky so far since she hadn’t met anyone who could test her limits.
Even though Mo Nan had been able to force her to reveal ‘the fiend fright burst’, but Bi Fan was convinced that she had more tricks up her sleeve.
Bi Fan was praying for her to bump into someone strong in the final set of the third round, such as Wang Feng or Jing Feng, or better yet, himself… since he wanted to personally defeat her.
However, things don’t just happen on request and Bi Fan knew that his prayers were probably going waste.
There wasn’t much time to rest, and balloting for the evening round started very soon.
“Brother Bi Fan, who do you wish to face?” Jing Feng asked.
“Wu Ji Xuan or Xuan Yuan Xiao Yu.” Bi Fan replied without hesitation.
“Why Brother Bi Fan? Do you like tough challenges?” Jing Feng seemed a bit puzzled.
“Not really, but all three of us are unbeaten right now, and they both belong to the same sect.” Bi Fan laid out his problem.
“Oh…. So you basically want to clear out one name from that ‘unbeaten’ list early ah.” Jing Feng finally saw the light.
