Jiang Wen looked at Bi Fan, coldly and his eyes were brimming with the aura of death.
“Boy, you dared to insult my brother! Things aren’t looking good for you.”
Bi Fan looked at Jiang Wen indifferently, and twitched his lips, as he cast the threat aside.
Jing Feng laughed: “Your brother got bullied by a new comer at Quinyang, he’s a complete waste; he’d be better off dead.”
Jing Feng’s words had easily managed to infuriate the entire group of ‘rising sun’ students.
Jiang Wen’s face turned ashen as he said: “Jing Feng, you’ve dared to insult ‘rising sun’ school, now you’re as good as dead!”
“Well, bite me. If you have what it takes.” Jing Feng smiled as he mocked his rival, while continuing to fan his face.
The Blue Dragon spoke up: “Brother, do you wish to sort these guys out as well?”
The ‘rising sun’ students were respectably strong and one could make out from the Blue Dragon’s body language, that he was more than willing to take a shot at them.
“Well, I’d hate to deny the wolves a chance first. So for now, let’s get in the queue.” Jing Feng shook his head.
Even with Jing Feng and his companions out of the equation, for the time being, Jiang Wen and his boys were in plenty of trouble as it is.
“I’ll be done with these wolves in no time, then, you’re next!” Jiang Wen issued another threat.
Jiang Wen employed his true strength this time, and used his low-grade weapon to a formidable effect, beheading more than one wolf with every strike.
“Jiang Wen is using a low grade sword right now, unlike the formidable weapon he used against me at the tournament. He won’t stand a chance against me with a weapon like this one.” Jing Feng stated.
“Relying on powerful weapons to win a fight…what a waste.” Bi Fan said in a detracting tone.
Jing Feng smiled: “Bi Fan, always remember, weapons are a subset of a fighter’s strength, never belittle them. Martial artists desperately search for good weapons and continue to upgrade them as they progress.”
Bi Fan couldn’t help but recall that he too, was in possession of some extraordinary weaponry, which he wasn’t capable of using at the moment. But he was well aware of the fact, that he simply couldn’t disclose this information to anyone, because if he did, then he would definitely not be able to retain them for long.
“I will remember that brother.”
Jiang Wen slashed past one wolf after another as carved his path towards the head of the pack.
The others in his company were also fighting with all of their strength, and the fight seemed like it was going to come to an end, much sooner than expected.
Even though the wolves outnumbered the ‘rising sun’ students, exceedingly, they didn’t have the same luxury in terms of strength. On top of that, Jiang Wen had already turned the battlefield into a slaughterhouse and no wolf was even remotely capable of matching his strength.
The Blue Dragon was glaring at the skills that Jiang Wen was displaying, preparing himself for the oncoming war.
The Blue Dragon wasn’t capable of defeating Jiang Wen at this time, but his goal was to top the Jiu Yu List, so naturally, he virtually considered Jiang Wen an enemy.
Jiang Wen saw the scorching glare in the Blue Dragon’s eyes as his heart felt slightly humbled. He simply couldn’t disregard the Blue Dragon, or underestimate him for that fact.
“Jiang Wen is indeed a very powerful foe; he’s simply massacring that wolf pack.” Jing Feng praised his nemesis.
If one put aside personal rivalry, then it was evident that Jiang Wen was an opponent worth praising and his strength had already reached the ‘transformation’ layer.
“Jing Feng, you’ve already reached the ‘transformation’ layer. You will probably break into the ‘emerging from the womb’ layer by the time the next Jiu Yu List tournament comes by.” Bi Fan stated; all smiles.
“’Emerging from the womb’ layer won’t be easy to break into, it’s a massive threshold and certainly not a very easy one to cross over to.” Jing Feng shook his head.
The Blue Dragon stated: “It’s better if some people advance; otherwise the Jiu Yu List won’t be any fun with such silly opponents.”
The Blue Dragon loved a good challenge, and had quite the affinity for a stronger challenge.
Jing Feng stared at the Blue Dragon in silence.
Bi Fan too, didn’t say anything; but he too, was full of fighting spirit and ready for a war.
“Wooo!….. Wooo!…” Blood-curling shrieks echoed unceasingly, as the wolves fell to their deaths in quick succession.
Soon, the twenty or so wolves that remained of the pack, started to scatter in all direction, hoping to flee from their oncoming deaths.
Many of the youngsters in Jiang Wen’s contingent were quite seriously injured and were bleeding profusely.
But in the murderous rage that Jiang Wen was in at the moment, he completely disregarded his state, and that of his companions, as he marched forward and came face to face with Jing Feng.
He was only concerned with Jing Feng. To him, Bi Fan was not worthy of his attention, and certainly not someone he would tax his mind over.
“Jiang Wen, you’ve finally managed to conclude your previous appointment. That took too much time, you were so slow, but well, we have an old account to settle.” Jing Feng continued to fan his face, and smile: “I will grant you one hour to reinstate your inner energy, before I start bullying you around.”
Jiang Wen was even more enraged now: “Jing Feng, you are nothing more than a fly in front of me, how dare you show me such arrogance?!”
“Well, if we have a go now, I’ll swat you aside like a fly, would you like to try?” Jing Feng teased, still smiling.
Even as much as he begrudged Jing Feng, Jiang Wen didn’t respond to that, and turned over to face Bi Fan instead. And he address Bi Fan in a cold voice: “Boy, you’re no match for me. I’ll let you gain some more experience before I deal with you.”
“Well, if we have a go now, I’ll swat you aside like a fly.” Bi Fan copied Jing Feng’s words and his tone very precisely.
Jiang Wen was going wild with blood lust: “Well, then, its time I teach you a lesson first!”
Jiang Wen had already consumed almost fifty percent of his inner energy, but he was extremely confident that he could easily finish off a ‘brave’ layer opponent, even in this condition.
However, he immediately looked over at Jing Feng, afraid that Jing Feng might intrude.
Jing Feng was well aware of Bi Fan’s capability, so simply smiled as he mocked Jiang Wen further: “Jiang Wen, in your current condition, you’re not going to able to match any Quinyang student. You might as well save yourself the embarrassment and quit trying.”
Jing Feng knew Jiang Wen well enough to know, that belittling him would only make him angrier.
Jiang Wen was beginning to lose all filters of control: “I’m going to sort the both of you out, one by one.”
“Wait, I’d like to go first!” The Blue Dragon interrupted, his voice sounding more like a war-cry.
“He’s challenged me, so I should go first.” Bi Fan stated.
Bi Fan simply didn’t want to miss the opportunity of trying out a ‘transformation’ layer opponent.
“Bi Fan, be very careful of his sword, it might seem like a low-grade weapon, but it’s exceptionally sharp. Don’t let it touch you.” Jing Feng cautioned.
Bi Fan nodded as he took out his light-ray sword.
“Boy, you’re dead!” Jiang Wen launched an early strike, and his sword sent out a massive screen of bright light, completely enveloping Bi Fan inside its range.
Bi Fan leaned on his back foot, and with almost ghostly swiftness, backed away from his position, at an incredible pace.
Jiang Wen attacked again, his sharp sword ready to chop Bi Fan, as it made a bee-line course towards Bi Fan’s face.
Jiang Wen had already made up his mind and he was preparing to chop off Bi Fan’s head.
Jiang Wen had already made up his mind and he was preparing to chop off Bi Fan’s head.
Bi Fan brandished the ‘dance of mist’ footwork, and his body, seemingly floated away from Jiang Wen’s lightning fast attacks.
Eventually, Jiang Wen’s initial attacks fell through. Bi Fan decided to launch a quick counterattack, and cast out the ‘fufeng double-edged sword’ technique, as swift as the breeze.
Surprisingly, Jiang Wen didn’t even attempt to dodge the attack, and simply raised his sharp sword to block Bi Fan’s attack.
“Despicable!” Bi Fan cursed out loudly, forced to change the direction of his sword.
Jiang Wen’s sword was too sharp, so much so, that if it collided with Bi Fan light-ray, the end result of that collision might not be very good for Bi Fan.
Bi Fan immediately changed his strategy, and instead of attacking Jiang Wen, he decided to blindly evade everything that Jiang Wen was throwing at him; and let his sword pass Bi Fan’s; unhindered.
His aim was to deplete Jiang Wen’s inner energy. Jiang Wen had already consumed a large amount of inner energy against the wolves, and if Bi Fan managed to deplete the rest of it, then he could easily finish this fight in due course of time.
Jiang Wen wanted to end this quickly, but Bi Fan just wasn’t giving him an opportunity. Jiang Wen’s footwork was only as good as Bi Fan’s, which meant that he was finding it hard to catch up with the evading Bi Fan.
“Quinyang schools are accepting these kinds of students! What a coward!” Jiang Wen taunted loudly.
The rest of the ‘rising sun’ students started to hoot; it was pretty hard to make out what they were saying, but they were definitely cussing at Bi Fan and Quinyang.
Bi Fan didn’t react to their words at all as he didn’t really associate himself with Quinyang or its schools.
Jing Feng, however, suddenly seemed to lose his temper: “Bi Fan, start taking some risks, end this early. Our reputation is at stake.”
Bi Fan glanced over at Jing Feng’s face and decided to abandon his initial plan, modifying it to suit Jing Feng’s desire.
‘Fufeng Double-edged sword!’
Bi Fan employed every strand of force in his body as he launched an attack at Jiang Wen. He raised his sword, readying it to smash right into Jiang Wen’s sharp weapon.
At the same time, he raised his finger to cast out the ‘immortal finger’. Such an attack, from this close a range, can be very hard to detect.
Bi Fan’s ‘immortal finger’ attack caught Jiang Wen completely off-guard, and he was unable to dodge it. The attack struck him on the underside of his armpit, poking a hole in it, and blood sprayed out of Jiang Wen’s body.
Jiang Wen quickly distanced himself from Bi Fan, but wasn’t completely unbridled by him anymore; in fact, his body language reflected an unexpected fear of his opponent.
Bi Fan had launched the attack with all his strength, and the effect was rather severe and damaging.
“That move by Bi Fan was really amazing. What an amazing combination, he completely caught Jiang Wen off-guard!” The Blue Dragon’s mouth hung open in astonishment.
Jing Feng smiled: “I’ve never seen anyone rise up as fast as Bi Fan. If he continues to move forward at this rate, then he stands to have a very bright future waiting for him, ahead in his life.”
As the fight wore on, Jiang Wen became even more fatigued and incompetent, as he had already consumed almost all of his inner energy.
Bi Fan had even put away his sword and was using boxing techniques to attack Jiang Wen now.
Bi Fan’s agility was hitting its pinnacle, which was making it very hard for Jiang Wen to catch him; one second he was here, and then he was suddenly behind Jiang Wen.
Bi Fan was using his flexible and nimble footwork to such devastating effects, that Jiang Wen simply couldn’t cope up with him. Jiang Wen’s body was too tired and he just kept rotating left to right, in the hope of catching Bi Fan.
Bi Fan had comprehensively suppressed Jiang Wen, and his companions were watching the fight with a gloomy expression on their faces, while Jing Feng’s and the Blue Dragon’s smiles were etched from one ear to the other.
“Ha ha! I didn’t expect a fighter as dignified, as the number two on the Jiu Yu List, to ever be bullied around like this by an unknown entity. Looks like we missed a good show, but it seems that we’re just in time for the end; the most exciting parts of all.” Suddenly, the forest lit up with the sound of an unexpected laughter.
Almost instantaneously, ten people emerged out of the forest, led by two very imposing figures, at a very fast pace.
“Wang Feng of Jiu Yu town and Hong Yun Tian of Tian Shui!” Jing Feng exclaimed.
Wang Feng had ranked fourth in the Jiu Yu List, right behind Jing Feng, whereas Hong Yun Tian had ranked fifth.
As soon as Jiang Wen saw the two men, his face turned red with embarrassment; and it appeared as if he would start spitting out blood.
Jiang Wen had a fabulous reputation, which had just gone down the proverbial drain.
“Brother Bi Fan, maybe that is enough for Jiang Wen, this time around.” Jing Feng said.
Quinyang and ‘rising sun’ were both, schools that preached the sacred way of martial arts, so under these circumstances, it wouldn’t be correct to openly murder one another.
Now, two more renowned martial artists were present on the scene and this massacre needed to come to an end, so as to avoid trouble later on.
Bi Fan was a little reluctant initially, but as soon as he understood Jing Feng’s motives, he immediately retreated and circled away from his opponent.
Jiang Wen’s body sprayed out more blood as his body trembled with rage.
Today, he had been defaced by an unknown entity, and that too in front of so many people; this humiliation, was way more than his ego could sustain.
“Jing Feng, Bi Fan, I will remember this day. I will come back for the two of you, sooner or later.” Jiang Wen furiously got off the ground and walked away with the rest of the ‘rising sun’ students.
“Ha..ha…”
The new arrivals and Jing Feng laughed heartily as Jiang Wen and his party walked away.
One really didn’t need to look at Jiang Wen’s face to guess his expression.
“Jing Feng, Bi Fan, you will both die at my hands….” Jiang Wen swore to himself.
Wang Feng looked at Bi Fan as he said: “Jing Feng, looks like Quinyang has found themselves another genius, ah.”
“Ha Ha, Well, truth be told, Jiang Wen had already consumed most of his energy, and then was arrogant enough to challenge my junior; he was bound to be beaten.” Jing Feng laughed, fanning his face.
Wang Feng replied: “You’re too humble brother, but it looks like the Jiu Yu List is going get even more intense this time around.”
His words seemed to have a very profound meaning, as he looked at Bi Fan and the Blue Dragon, sizing them up. While the Blue Dragon glared back at him, his eyes ready for war again.
Bi Fan’s face on the other hand was expressionless; wooden. Wang Feng couldn’t see through him, no matter how hard he tried.
“Has he advanced yet?” Jing Feng asked, as his facial expression changing to that of a concerned one, almost as he if, he was even afraid to even say the name of the person he was referring to.
Wang Feng’s and Hong Yun Tian’s faces too, quickly changed colored as fear creeped into their eyes. They simply shook their heads as no words came out of their mouths.
The three men soon separated away from each other, and Bi Fan just couldn’t hold back anymore: “Brother Jing Feng, who were you guys talking about, and why were you so afraid of him?”
“Jiu Yu List’s number one, he simply cannot be beaten. His name is Wu Ji Xuan.” Jing Feng’s tone comprised of both awe and fear.
The Blue Dragon was surprised for a second: “Wu Ji Xuan! He’s the strongest in all Jiu Yu territory. They even say that he’s one of the strongest in the entire Tian Yu, and he’s just started school.”
“Wu Ji Xuan, he’s that powerful? I’d really like to meet him.” Bi Fan’s eyes lit up.
Jing Feng Smiled: “Wu Ji Xuan is a little weird. Plus the gap in our strength is far too much, to even try competing against him, so just don’t provoke him.”
Jiang Wen looked at Bi Fan, coldly and his eyes were brimming with the aura of death.
“Boy, you dared to insult my brother! Things aren’t looking good for you.”
Bi Fan looked at Jiang Wen indifferently, and twitched his lips, as he cast the threat aside.
Jing Feng laughed: “Your brother got bullied by a new comer at Quinyang, he’s a complete waste; he’d be better off dead.”
Jing Feng’s words had easily managed to infuriate the entire group of ‘rising sun’ students.
Jiang Wen’s face turned ashen as he said: “Jing Feng, you’ve dared to insult ‘rising sun’ school, now you’re as good as dead!”
“Well, bite me. If you have what it takes.” Jing Feng smiled as he mocked his rival, while continuing to fan his face.
The Blue Dragon spoke up: “Brother, do you wish to sort these guys out as well?”
The ‘rising sun’ students were respectably strong and one could make out from the Blue Dragon’s body language, that he was more than willing to take a shot at them.
