The Six Immortals Chapter 170

Chapter 170 – Zhao Yun Fei

(Mustang: Hey guys, another regular Chapter.)

Ji Ying Lan was out of luck again. This time it was Wu Ji Xuan, and Ji Ying Lan promptly conceded the fight.

There was nothing he could have done; Wu Ji Xuan was simply too strong for him.

On top of that, there was a rampant sense of hatred between the Wu Ji Sect and the Quinyang Sect, and if JI Ying Lan had tried to fight back then Wu Ji Xuan might have injured him seriously just to avenge his comrades.

Considering the situation, it was very wise of Ji Ying Lan to concede the fight before it started.

“Why don’t I get to face the ‘Delivery Boy’?” Jing Feng complained with a straight face.

“Brother Jing Feng, you know that I don’t like that name in the first place, but you’re still making fun of me?…” Ji Ying Lan looked a little gloomy.

Jing Feng replied: “Well, you’re being forced to give free points to everyone, so you might as well give them to your own Brothers.”

“Well, tell me what number you’re picking next time, and I’ll follow you, he he.” Ji Ying Lan replied.

Even though Ji Ying Lan had lost both his fights today, he didn’t seem depressed by it, and was constantly chatting and joking about with the other disciples.

The Quinyang Sect’s results were a lot better than they had ever been in the recent past, and everyone was very happy about it. No one was worried about their individual performance right now; well, almost no one.

Bi Fan was compet.i.tive and ambitious, and he wouldn’t settle for anything less than the first spot.

Soon, it was time for Bi Fan to take the stage, and Jing Feng’s contest was next in line.

This time, Bi Fan was met with Dan Yang Sect’s Zhao Yun Fei. Zhao Yun Fei was being considered an underdog, and had managed to gate-crash into the third round since he hadn’t met any strong opponents so far.

The Dan Yang Sect was best known for its alchemy. Out of all the famous alchemists in the Jiu Yu City, almost eighty percent hailed from the Dan Yang Sect.

On top of that, the Dan Yang Sect was also quite powerful in its own right, and no force in the Jiu Yu City wanted to offend them.

In fact, all the top-five Sects of the Jiu Yu City were trying to reel in the Dan Yang Sect to their side, since they all wanted to buy Dan from them.

The Dan produced by the Dan Yang Sect was of much higher quality than any other Sect.

The Dan Yang Sect’s disciples were trained in alchemy from a very early age, which is why most of them weren’t very strong in terms of fighting ability.

But, Zhao Yun Fei’s strength wasn’t bad at all, in fact, he had already reached the mid-level mark of the ‘transformation’ layer.

Zhao Yun Fei was quite famous, not because of his strength, but because of his talents as an alchemist.

Zhao Yun Fei was three years old when he first came in contact with alchemy and herbs. He was six when he started watching the elders brew potions, and by the time he was ten years old, he was already a.s.sisting them.

At the age of twelve, he managed to brew his first Dan.

A twelve year old successfully making Dan was practically unheard off, and had never happened before in the entire history of the Dan Yang Sect.

Due to his natural gift for alchemy, the Dan Yang Sect had decided to focus a lot of attention on him.

In order to make him focus on training and raising his strength, the Dan Yang Sect’s elders had unanimously agreed on forbidding him from practicing alchemy for the time being.

Zhao Yun Fei’s innate gift for alchemy was too precious, and they simply couldn’t allow him to waste his gift by dying at a young age.

The Dan Yang Sect wanted Zhao Yun Fei to raise his strength as soon as possible, which would guarantee a longer life span for him, and he could be of use to the Sect for a longer duration this way.

The Dan Yang Sect’s approach was undoubtedly very wise, and they had been training him very vigorously. His strength had been growing by leaps and bounds, and he had already established himself as a well-known martial artist.

Even though Zhao Yun Fei looked weak and tender by appearance, his staunch eyes exhibited his willpower.

“Bi Fan from the Quinyang Sect, pleased to meet you!” Bi Fan made his salutation.

“Dan Yang Sect’s Zhao Yun Fei!” Zhao Yun Fei seemed like a very quiet and serious man.

Bi Fan intended on befriending Zhao Yun Fei, but didn’t know how to proceed since the man wasn’t exactly very friendly by appearance.

The contest started.

Zhao Yun Fei took out his weapon, a very odd one at that. He was using a Tripod, which was blazing with actual fire.

Obviously this tripod was designed for making Dan in the Dan Yang Sect. Even though Zhao Yun Fei was banned from practicing alchemy for now, he was so fond of the science that he had decided to use his tripod as a weapon in martial training.

Tripods are very heavy, and not exactly a very good choice for a weapon. Even though his selection was bound to affect his combat effectiveness, Zhao Yun Fei had insisted on using it.

This was the first time that Bi Fan was faced with this weapon, and was momentarily unable to find a way to deal with it.

“Tripod shakes the Ninth Heaven!” Zhao Yun Fei launched an attack.

The tall man raised his weapon high, and jumped in the air. He brought his weapon down at an amazing speed, and went straight for Bi Fan’s head.

Bi Fan’s face changed as he saw the manner in which the tripod approached him, and quickly got out of the way.

The tripod weighed at least a few kilograms, and if it smashed straight into Bi Fan’s body, then even with the support from his true strength, Bi Fan couldn’t be sure of the result.

Uncertain of the circ.u.mstances, Bi Fan decided that it was best to back away.

Bi Fan had expected the Tripod to hit the ground, but the tripod unexpectedly changed its direction mid-air, and went straight towards Bi Fan’s new position.

“d.a.m.n!”

Bi Fan barely managed to block the attack with his sword.

“Bang!” the collision gave rise to a loud noise.

Bi Fan’s sword had managed to block of the tripod, but he had only been able to do so at the cost of straining the blade. If the Dragon Scale sword wasn’t as tenacious, then it would have surely broken into pieces by the impact of the collision.

“That Tripod is too powerful; I can’t afford to be reckless.” Bi Fan thought.

Bi Fan thought for a while, and came up with a solution.

Bi Fan decided to use his tricky sword play, and figured that if merged it with some moves from the ‘Tai Chi Sword’ skill, then he could easily leverage enough power to resist the tripod.

Bi Fan’s trick worked like a charm, and he was easily able to brush the Tripod’s subsequent attacks.

Bi Fan might be having it easy, but Zhao Yun Fei wasn’t. That large Tripod was quite heavy, and its usage was consuming a lot of inner energy.

Soon enough, Zhao Yun Fei’s attacks started to slow down.

Bi Fan was already thinking about finis.h.i.+ng fight.

When suddenly, Zhao Yun Fei knocked the Tripod over and a raging fire flew out from it.

“Whew!” Zhao Yun Fei twisted his palms, and redirected the flames towards Bi Fan.

Bi Fan quickly cast out the ‘Floating Sword’ attack, and warded off the incoming flames.

“Zhao Yun Fei, you should concede the fight now!” Bi Fan smiled.

Although Zhao Yun Fei hadn’t admitted his defeat yet, he was well aware that he couldn’t beat Bi Fan since his inner energy was almost completely depleted by now.

“Thank for being merciful!” Zhao Yun Fei conceded the fight.

Indeed, Bi Fan had been presented with a couple of opportunities to resolve the fighting over the course of the contest, and had he used his chances, then Zhao Yun Fei wouldn’t even have had enough time to admit his defeat before the attacks struck him.

He had seen Bi Fan’s speed, and knew that Bi Fan could have killed him more than once.

Zhao Yun Fei evidently knew that Bi Fan had been very merciful, and was grateful for it.

“If given the opportunity, I’d like to consult with you regarding alchemy and Spirit Poison Gra.s.s, since that’s your field of expertise. I hope that when the time comes you will not be stingy towards your Brother…” Bi Fan said.

“Not at all!” Zhao Yun Fei replied in a pleasant and cheerful manner.

Bi Fan had mentioned alchemy and Spirit Poison Gra.s.s, so obviously Zhao Yun Fei couldn’t refuse.

“See you later then.” Bi Fan started to step down the stage.

Bi Fan had successfully taken the first step in narrowing the distance that separated the two men.

Bi Fan firmly believed that as long as he was sincere and honest, he would eventually be able to befriend the man.

Zhao Yun Fei’s expression returned to its normal state, and he started walking off the stage.

Bi Fan ignored the cheers, and directly returned to Sect’s dressing room.

“Congratulations on getting three more points, Brother.” Jing Feng smiled.

“Congratulations!”

“Congratulations!” …

“Thank you!” Bi Fan quickly shook everyone’s hand.

Bi Fan had returned victorious once again, and Luo Sheng couldn’t help but hate him even more.

However, Luo Sheng wouldn’t dare to expose his wrath in public at this time.

As for Luo Xiong, well, he was a smiling tiger.

In fact, Bi Fan was aware of this, but he didn’t care about the two brothers anyway.

If the two brothers weren’t being backed by their grandfather, Luo Xiao Tian, then Bi Fan would have already sorted them out by now.

At Bi Fan’s present strength, he was confident that even Luo Xiong wouldn’t be able to kill him, so he wasn’t exactly scared of the man anymore.
