 Death of an Enemy

 

Due to Bi Fan’s strength, looking inside his body wasn’t going to an issue for him, but it was the first time ever that he was peeping into his body.

Flesh, blood, arteries and organs were all very strong, but nothing out of the ordinary.

He started looking into his pubic region. The public region inside his body was covered in a drizzling white mist, which obviously, was his inner energy and aura.

“How? How’s that even possible?! There’s a lotus inside my pubic region! I haven’t seen a lotus like that one since…. the one I saw inside the Wan Snake Cave!” Bi Fan was left awestruck in that moment of discovery.

There was a lotus inside his pubic region, petals, eighteen in count, color, black and white. Its huge petals hovered above the white fog, like they were being supported by his inner energy.

The lotus looked somewhat dispirited, like it was low on moisture.

The black petals were marginally better off, and slightly more flamboyant than the white ones.

Bi Fan was certain that this was the same lotus that he had spotted inside the Wan Snake Cave, that same strangely wonderful Yin Yang lotus.

But he was completely clueless as to how the lotus entered his body.

There had been many doubts in Bi Fan’s mind about the cave and that incident, but things were become clearer now.

His body had been completely altered after the incident inside the Wan Snake Cave; he was beginning to realize that the Yin Yang lotus was the reason for this sudden change in his physique and not the Wannian Spirit milk.

Bi Fan tried to sense the Yin Yang lotus, he even tried interacting with it, but the communication failed as the lotus did not respond. It appeared that he would have to try a second time a little later and for the time being, he would have to suffice by slowly studying the lotus.

Bi Fan decided to stop looking inside his body, and opened his eyes, only to see that the Marten was still carrying an angry look on his face, which instantly made Bi Fan laugh.

“Greedy Marten, well, come on, I’ll fix you the best quality herbs” Bi Fan smiled and said: “Come on to my shoulder now, I would like to find a private spot to practice.”

“Creek….” The Marten shook his head, still too afraid to come close to Bi Fan.

Bi Fan knew that the Marten was a little frightened at the moment, so he did not insist on it: “Alright, why don’t you follow me. But don’t get lost.”

Bi Fan didn’t venture out very far away from the Chimera’s lair and found a suitable place nearby so he could practice and restore his energy in peace.

Just a while ago, the Yin Yang lotus inside his body had swallowed that poisonous black lotus that the Marten had obtained from the Chimera’s lair. As a result of this, it seemed that his body’s inner energy had gone up to some extent, and had broken into the next layer. Now, his inner energy was almost in the ‘brave’ layer, on its own accord.

Once he was done restoring his inner energy, Bi Fan took some time out to practice as well. He began thinking about his fighting, the lessons he had learnt, the most suitable moves, and how to make those moves even better and more efficient, and how to make his attacks even more dangerous and powerful.

It took Bi Fan another five hours of rigorous training before he was satisfied with the results, which was followed by another restoring session.

He stretched out his arms and legs a bit; his bones issued a flurry of crackling sounds loud enough to attract attention from people, if any had been standing near him.

“Ah, that feels good!” Bi Fan said out loud.

The Marten had been standing cautiously at a distance the whole time, and wouldn’t squeeze himself into Bi Fan’s arms for a nap like he used to earlier.

Bi Fan beckoned to the Marten: “Greedy, come here, don’t be scared. The black silk threads won’t come out to kill you, if that was the case, then they could have done it long ago..”

The Marten listened to what Bi Fan was trying to explain, hesitated for a bit and then finally chose to trust Bi Fan and jumped onto his shoulder.

The Marten kept looking left and right, still terrified of the black silk threads, ready to flee at a moment’s notice. The serious look on his face was rather hilarious.

When the black silk threads did not emerge for a while, the Marten’s taut nerves finally loosened up a bit and eventually, he fell asleep on Bi Fan’s shoulder.

Bi Fan pacified the Marten; just to make sure that it had fallen asleep, and then started preparing himself to go a few more rounds with the Chimera.

After being unable to chase Bi Fan down, the Chimera had returned to its food and had decided to vent its anger out on the dead rhino by gobbling the whole of it.

Soon after, it had returned to its cave of residence, only to find that the precious black lotus that it had been guarding, was now gone.

The Chimera was quick to realize that Bi Fan had a part to play in the disappearance of the lotus, igniting new flames of hatred for Bi Fan in his heart.

When Bi Fan approached its cave, the Chimera was taking a nap but woke up as soon as he realized that there’s movement nearby.

The Chimera rushed out of its cave and furiously roared at the unknown passerby. But once he realized that the trespasser was Bi Fan, his rage touched new heights.

Without any explanations or delays, the Chimera charged for Bi Fan, and launched a ferocious attack.

It’s a good thing that the Marten was away from the fight, as the force of Bi Fan’s attacks was much greater now.

Although, his attacks still weren’t good enough to seriously injure the Chimera, but since he could attack with much more force than before and at a higher frequency as well, the Chimera was obviously in greater pain.

“Boom!” The Chimera in lieu of its anger, cast out a direct attack at Bi Fan.

Bi Fan side stepped and managed to dodge the attack, and the Chimera ended up hitting a tree, which broke.

“Wow! What amazing strength!” Bi Fan exclaimed.

Even though at a physical level, Bi Fan was no match for the Chimera, and was nowhere near as tough as the beast, his agility and flexibility far exceeded that of the Chimera’s, and this particular environment favored those traits in a fight, especially when fighting up close.

Bi Fan made sure that he was always close to the Chimera while they were entangled in their duel. This way, the Chimera’s tail goes out of the equation, in fact, as opposed to being its most vicious weapon, it kind of got in its way, making things even harder for the monster.

Generally speaking, a Chimera such as this one, uses its tail in a fight to cause the maximum damage to the enemy, but since the tail was being used to a negative effect in this fight, the Chimera had no option but fight with very limited resources and, to barely half of its maximal capacity.

On the other hand, if the Chimera was capable of breathing fire, then Bi Fan would have been rendered helpless.

Bi Fan’s strength had seen a decent increase and he was casting out various moves with higher efficiency and a lot smoothly than before, while his body was dripping wet with sweat.

 

 Death of an Enemy

 

Bi Fan’s strength had seen a decent increase and he was casting out various moves with higher efficiency and a lot smoothly than before, while his body was dripping wet with sweat.

“Prancing Tiger’s second style ‘sea of tigers!’” Bi Fan roared as he charged towards the Chimera with the intensity of a tiger, with the entire strength of his body condensed into one single punch; a punch, which was headed towards the Chimera.

Strength erupted from Bi Fan’s body as he charged for the Chimera.

The Chimera had a huge physical structure, but even then, the Chimera was forced back a few steps.

However, surprisingly, the Chimera still wasn’t hurt much and lashed straight back at Bi Fan.

The Chimera’s bloody mouth was wide open, ready to swallow Bi Fan whole.

‘The Immortal Finger’

Bi Fan held the attack back until the Chimera had closed him down, and then with his finger aligned with the Chimera’s body, Bi Fan unleashed a fierce, condensed strike of ‘the immortal finger’ straight into the inner lining of the Chimera’s mouth.

“Wooo…” The Chimera wailed and screamed, again and again as the injury that he had sustained wasn’t a very light one.

“Since you have managed to injure yourself seriously, you are no use to me anymore.” Bi Fan said in a very cold voice.

He launched another attack of the immortal finger, a very intense one this time as well; well aware of the fact, that the Chimera wouldn’t be able to dodge it.

“Hey, you are smarter than I gave you credit for, and you might still have some fight left in you.” Bi Fan said, with a surprised look on his face as he watched the Chimera side-step his intended final attack.

Bi Fan continued to attack the Chimera without any pauses, and whenever the Chimera made a mistake or gave Bi Fan any room to take any advantages, Bi Fan would launch a mortal attack.

The Chimera would open its mouth from time to time to spit out the blood that was accumulating inside its mouth from the wound that he had sustained. It was evident that the pain was unbearable and the Chimera was visibly afraid of Bi Fan.

The Chimera had been fighting Bi Fan for a long time now and that too without any benefits in an unfavorable environment. On top of that, Bi Fan’s agility was causing a major headache for the Chimera by restraining him sufficiently that the only way to continue fighting was to defend. If the fight ensued for much longer, the situation would only worsen for the Chimera.

The Chimera’s morale was already down the drain and Bi Fan was launching lethal attacks in quick succession, fully intending to finish this fight, along with the Chimera, as quickly as possible.

Suddenly, Bi Fan heard a noise; it seemed that the sounds from the fighting had managed to attract a few people in their direction.

Bi Fan didn’t even bother to finish off the Chimera, and without any hesitation, escaped into the forest.

Bi Fan left, and Chimera just stood there looking puzzled as he didn’t expect to outlive this day. Nonetheless, he looked visibly happy to have survived long enough to see another day.

As his opponent had already left, the Chimera lay down on the ground, trying to hold back the pain, as he slowly tried to heal himself.

The Chimera lay there quietly, but that didn’t mean that it wasn’t angry, just that its present condition was forcing him to suppress that anger for now.

It goes without saying that demons are brutal by nature, a Chimera is far more tyrannical in its attitude than an average monster, as it shows no sympathy when it tears apart another demon for its meals.

The Chimera hadn’t fallen short of Bi Fan’s strength. It was simply that the Chimera was no match for Bi Fan pace, and all his attack were going in vain as Bi Fan was able to dodge them with ease, again and again, every single time.

The Chimera’s blood-red eyes, flashed a shade of bitter hatred, and not just for Bi Fan, but for the entire human race jointly.

Bi Fan on the other hand, hadn’t run away very far, and had found himself a hiding spot nearby, ready and awaiting any opportunities.

“I don’t know who these humans are, or what they are capable of, but I most certainly know what this Chimera can do.” Bi Fan managed to pilfer a smile.

The Marten had also returned to its place of Bi Fan’s shoulder, and was somewhat puzzled by Bi Fan’s behavior.

Soon, seven humans emerged inside the forest and into Bi Fan’s line of sight.

“Hey, these people are from the ‘rising sun’ school!” Bi Fan recognized three of them. The three of those seven were the same ones that he had seen at the river basin the other day, in fact, the three of them had even attempted to track him down on the basis of his footsteps.

These people had chosen to be his enemies, and since they had a death wish, then, in this case, he wouldn’t mind helping them along. The only thing that he was uncertain about, was whether they were all ‘rising sun’ disciple or not.

“My impression is that they are all ‘rising sun’ disciples, in which case, I wouldn’t mind if they fought the Chimera. For me it’s even better if both my enemies suffer some collateral damage.” Bi Fan secretly thanked his stars.

“From the looks of it, it appears that a very fierce fight had taken place here, but now, there appears to be no movement whatsoever. However, from the looks of things, it’s hard to tell whether the fight reached its conclusion or not.”

“I don’t know what kind of a demon made these marks, but I can be sure of one thing, and that’s that this demon is a very strong one. Just look at all the trees in this area, whoever was involved here, managed to break them down.” They marveled as they gazed at their surroundings.

“Everybody be careful. The Demon probably survived this fight; we need to be on our guard.” A relatively aged man said.

The unscrupulous chatting of these people had already disturbed the healing Chimera.

The Chimera was a lot smarter than these people and without making any sounds, had managed to hide himself in the forest, and was now, waiting for an opportunity to strike and take them by surprise.

The Chimera’s heart was trying to hold back a rage of fury as he vowed to wipe out the entire human race.

The Chimera was overly familiar with these surroundings and conveniently managed to sneak to the back side of these seven humans without exposing his presence.

The seven humans tried to track down the people involved in the fight and slowly walked their way through the area and into a valley. They were very careful, as they were afraid of being attacked by the surviving demon.

The seven humans decided that they need to scatter a bit, to search for clues.

The Chimera crept closer to the group of seven, stroked it poisonous tail and launched it at the neck of one of the humans. The human didn’t even issue any sounds, as he stood there, being strangled to death, alive.

The man’s gear landed on the ground below as he was lifted into the air, and made a ringing sound.

“Be careful, what are you doing?” One of the other six turned around to look. He halted the moment he saw his struggling companion being swept away by the vicious tail of the Chimera.

He immediately cried out in fear: “ A demon! People we need to get out of here now!”

The other five turned around and looked at the Chimera as well.

The Chimera was already exposed, so he swept its tail in full swing.

“Quick, get out of the way! That’s a Chimera! Its tail is extremely toxic!” One of them was obviously quiet experienced as he was able to identify the threat.

The six of them tried desperately dodged the attack, even if some of them had no idea as to what the threat was in the first place, and fortunately for them, none of them got injured.

“Quick! Run into the jungle, or we do not have any chance of survival.” A young man shouted out to his companions.

The Chimera launched several attacks in quick succession. His attacks didn’t bear any fruit, which intensified his fuming anger further and he charged for them in full force.

The six of them had never been in such a tight spot before, they ran and stumbled, frantically, in an attempt to make their way to the forest ahead.

“ARRRGHHH!!!” The Chimera was really angry, and he wasn’t going to let these people escape so easily.

The Chimera quickly caught up with one of the remaining humans and rolled his tail at the man.

Once the Chimera’s tail hits its target, survival for the same, was rather difficult. As the terrified man saw the tail sweeping in his direction, he screamed: “Help me brothers!”

Another one of Bi Fan’s enemies was now dead.

The five others were quick to comprehend the meaning of that sentence and without even looking back; they sped up as they ran for their lives.
