The Six Immortals Chapter 123

Chapter 123 – Bi Fan Starts to Rise

Bi Fan stood in front of Luo Sheng, indifferently, almost as if he wasn’t interested in the contest at all.

Luo Sheng, in contrast, was bathing in the limelight, as if he had already won the tournament.

“I hate Luo Sheng’s att.i.tude. If he hadn’t had a bet with Bi Fan, then I would have beaten him up so badly, that he wouldn’t have been able to continue with the tournament.” Jing Feng’s face filled with disdain, as he witnessed Luo Sheng’s arrogance.

“I hope that our ‘dark horse’, Bi Fan, knocks the s.h.i.+t out of Luo Sheng. I really can’t stand his arrogance.”

“Yes, ah, me too. If he wasn’t an elder’s grandson, then his strength wouldn’t have progressed so fast.”

…   …

A lot of people were very unhappy with Luo Sheng, due to his usually arrogant behavior.

“Bi Fan, well the day has come. I have been waiting for this day for a very long time.” Luo Sheng’s eyes were as cold as ice, while his tone reeked of a deadly aura.

Bi Fan smiled: “Oh come on, don’t be so anxious, I’ll carry you along for a while, so you don’t end up looking like a total moron.”

“Well, are the two of you ready?” The judge asked the two of them.

The referee was a slightly older man, who had already reached the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer, since the circ.u.mstance leading to this contest, was indicative that the fight may have to be stopped in between.

It was prohibited to kill an opponent in the Quinyang Sect Disciple’s tournament.

But in a martial contest, sometimes, avoiding injuries, and even deaths, is inevitable. The referee was required to be stronger than the fighters, so he could block a deadly attack, and avoid as much causality as possible.

Bi Fan looked at the referee, while his mind was busy making the calculations; he needed to find a way to beat up Luo Sheng as badly as he possibly could.

Unless Luo Sheng was to throw in the towel, the referee was unlikely to stop Bi Fan from beating him up, unless of course, Bi Fan tries to kill Luo Sheng.

Bi Fan’s mind was actively contemplating means to stop Luo Sheng from conceding his defeat early, so he could avail a decent number of opportunities to thrash his opponent.

Once Bi Fan and Luo Sheng indicated that they were ready, the referee started the contest.

Luo Sheng started with the ‘Floating sword’, and it seemed that his grandfather, Luo Xiao Tian, had personally taught him, since the power that he was able to produce was quite formidable.

Luo Sheng was casting out the ‘Floating Sword’, and that too by using a top-grade weapon like the Tian Yun, so Bi Fan really couldn’t overlook the threat.

As a precaution, Bi Fan started using his purple-feathered sword against this enemy.

Bi Fan started with the ‘Fufeng Double-edged Sword’, but his style was very different from the one that most of the Quinyang Sect disciples display. His ‘Fufeng Double-edged Sword’ resembled that of Ji Ying Lan.

However, Bi Fan’s style was still a little different from Ji Ying Lan’s, and it seemed that Bi Fan had made his own changes to the form.

After the contest with Ji Ying Lan, Bi Fan had spent the whole night researching the ‘Fufeng Double-edged Sword’, and had made a lot of changes of his own, but still, his style resembled Ji Ying Lan’s to some extent.

Thankfully, Ji Ling Lan was busy with his own contest, and didn’t get to see Bi Fan’s changes; otherwise, he may not have been able to withstand the shock.

“Bi Fan is really talented! He even managed to learn Ji Ying Lan’s entire skill set over the time period of just one fight!” Yu Qing Yang was amazed.

Ji Ying Lan was Yu Qing Yang’s direct disciple, which is why Yu Qing Yang knew the amount of time and effort that Ji Ying Lan had put in, to achieve that level of expertise.

Yu Qing Yang had personally spent a lot of time with Ji Ying Lan, and had spent a decent amount of time in helping his disciple make those changes, which was one of the reasons that Ji Ying Lan’s version of the ‘Fufeng Double-egded Sword’, is as good as it is. Bi Fan, on the other hand, had not only memorized, and mastered Ji Ying Lan’s style in just one fight, but had also managed to make more changes in it, in just one night.

“Genuis! He’s a true Genuis! It seems that the Quinyang Sect will finally come out of this slump!” Yu Qing Yang couldn’t control his excitement anymore.

Luo Xiao Tian asked: “Head of the sect, you think that Jing Feng is a real genius, and you believe that he’s the best in the Quinyang Sect’s young generation?”

At present, Jing Feng had just finished his fight, and had won it with ease, which had given rise to an enormous cheer from the ladies.

Luo Xiao Tian hadn’t heard his remarks clearly, and was under the impression that Yu Qing Yang was praising Jing Feng.

“No… ah, yes. Jing Feng is indeed Quinyang’s most talented prospect. We must increase the effort we put into his training in the future.”

He almost uttered Bi Fan’s name, but then decided to refrain from it, since he knew that Luo Xiao Tian’s grandson holds a grudge against Bi Fan, and praising Bi Fan’s skills in front of him would only make matters worse.

Luo Xiao Tian was considered the strongest man in the Quinyang Sect, but he was a narrow-minded man, and would do almost about anything to s.h.i.+eld his flaws.

If Luo Xiao Tian realized Bi Fan’s true genius, then given the circ.u.mstances, he was more likely to create trouble for Bi Fan, rather than a.s.sist the Sect is protecting him, and may even try to have him killed.

Considering these possibilities, Yu Qing Yang decided to hide the matter from him.

He was attaching the Sect’s hope for growth with Bi Fan, and wouldn’t be afraid to keep a few secret for the sake of his Sect. As long as Bi Fan was able to grow in terms of strength, he really wouldn’t have to worry about these things in the future.

Ling Xin Ya knew that Yu Qing Yang was referring to Bi Fan, and not Jing Feng.

Ling Xin Ya was well aware of Bi Fan’s fighting styles, especially the ‘Fufeng Double-edged Sword’, since he had personally helped Bi Fan master it.

But now he could see a significant number of changes in his style, post the contest against Ji Ying Lan. Bi Fan had not only managed to learn the skill over night, but he had also managed to make it his own.

Bi Fan wasn’t just a genius; he was beyond anything Ling Xin Ya had ever seen.

“It seems that I’ve somehow found a real gem, and I can rely on his glory to get more talented disciples.” Ling Xin Ya’s face was blooming with happiness.

Moreover, he really wouldn’t have to deal with Luo Xiao Tian, since he knew Luo Xiao Tian well, and he knew that Luo Xiao Tian was likely to overlook Bi Fan’s talent. Obviously, Ling Xin Ya wasn’t stupid enough to point it out to Luo Xiao Tian either.

He could see the amount of importance that the head of the Sect had started attaching to Bi Fan, and knew that he’d have to keep his superior’s interests in mind.

“Bi Fan is gradually revealing his true talents, and it seems that I’ll have to start looking after him better, as I really can’t allow anyone to steal him away from me.” Ling Xin Ya thought to himself.

Yan Yu Si also noticed that Bi Fan had started casting out the ‘Fufeng Double-edged Sword’ in a rather unusual manner, and her eye brows started ruffling with surprise: “Bi Fan just had one fight against Ji Ying Lan, how was he able to learn and master his ‘Fufeng Double-edged Sword’ in such a short period of time?”

Yan Yu Si considered herself to be one of the best martial artists of her generation, but even she had never able do something like this.

Of course, there were several others watching the contest, and the ones who had seen his fight against Ji Ying Lan, were completely taken by Bi Fan’s ability as well.

Bi Fan never imagined that his current actions would be attracting so much attention.

There was destined to be an outrage, as everyone was interested in knowing how Bi Fan had managed to master the ‘Fufeng Double-edged Sword’ in such a short period of time.

Bi Fan wasn’t blind to his low-key status either, and was well aware that he’d have to perform, if he wished to acquire more resources from the Sect for his training.

A high-profile status can be very necessary at times.

Bi Fan was weaker on surfaces, when compared to Luo Sheng, and was using a much weaker weapon in comparison as well, but was still able to compete with his opponent, plainly on the basis of his expertise. A situation like this one was considered awfully rare.

The Flurry Sword!

Luo Sheng started attacking faster and faster, since he wanted to finish Bi Fan as soon as possible, and wanted to use the speed of his attacks to ‘accidently’ kill Bi Fan.

Luo Sheng held a grudge against Bi Fan, since Bi Fan had shamed him in the past. On top of that Bi Fan had been progressing at a much faster pace than him, owing to which Bi Fan had been attracting a lot of attention; so naturally, Luo Sheng wanted to kill Bi Fan off, since he didn’t want any compet.i.tion.

Luo Sheng had learnt the ‘Floating Sword’ forms from Luo Xiao Tian, and although he wasn’t very skilled at it, his style was much superior to the one that Bi Fan had learnt from Yang Feng.

Bi Fan was keenly watching Luo Sheng’s movements, and could see that his style had some very delicate changes, in some moves, which were enabling him to increase the power of the attacks.

Since he was learning new things, Bi Fan was not very eager to finish the fight.

“I’ll let Luo Sheng show me his entire skill set, and then I’ll beat him.”
