The Six Immortals Chapter 153

Chapter 153 – Ba Gua’s Universe Blade

As the next set was announced, Luo Sheng and w.a.n.g Yun Fei started preparing to exit the Quinyang Sect’s seating area.

Both youngsters were inside the ‘transformation’ layer, and both were considered to be top-figures in the Quinyang Sect.

Once they reached the reporting area, they found out about their respective opponents.

Luo Sheng’s face became very ugly the moment he met his opponent.

As it turns out, Luo Sheng was supposed to be facing Jiang Wen, which clearly explained the dejected look on his face.

w.a.n.g Yun Fei was relatively luckier, and was faced with an ‘Enormous strength’ layer opponent, and his face exposed a pleased smile.

Jiang Wen finished second in the Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon List three years ago, and is considered to be at par with Jing Feng, if not stronger. Luo Sheng didn’t have the slightest chance of winning this fight.

This batch of sixty eight was quite strong in its composition, since City Sect’s w.a.n.g Feng and Ba Gua’s Li Qian Xun were also a part of it.

As they all took their respective rings, a pale look overtook Lou Sheng’s face, since he was now directly confronted with Jiang Wen.

“Boy, I advise that you concede your defeat immediately, and spare yourself the suffering.” Jiang Wen laughed.

Jiang Wen had always been very arrogant, and Luo Sheng was quite angered upon getting a taste of his own medicine.

Luo Sheng didn’t want to concede his defeat without making an attempt, since he wouldn’t be able to face Luo Xiong later if he did so.

“If you think that I’ll admit my defeat that easily, then you’re dreaming. If you’ve got what it takes, then come and fight me.” Luo Sheng replied loudly.

“Now you’re asking for it!”

Jiang Wen cast out ‘The Rising Sun’ move, and his sword dazzled like the rays of the Sun as he charged for Luo Sheng.

Luo Sheng’s momentum wasn’t enough to stand his ground for long, and as Jiang Wen started to increase the force of his attacks, Luo Sheng was left with no alternate but to retreat, and wasn’t even able to retaliate.

“Jiang Wen’s strength has enhanced a lot, it seems like winning the Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon List will be even more difficult this time around.” Jing Feng gasped in a surprise.

Compared to the time when Jiang Wen had fought Bi Fan, his strength seemed to have increased a lot, and even though he was casting out the same moves, the power output was several times higher.

Jiang Wen kept increasing the momentum slowly and steadily, and Luo Sheng’s clothes were beginning to suffer the wrath of his blade.

Luo Xiao Tian and Luo Xiong were obviously quite worried about Luo Sheng’s safety, and even though they opened their mouth several times, in order to shout out to Luo Sheng to concede the fight, they simply couldn’t find the courage to say the words.

“Aaarghhh!” Luo Sheng suddenly roared and charged right back at Jiang Wen, using the ‘Floating Sword’ skill in a desperate attempt to regain a foothold in the fight.

For a brief moment, Jiang Wen’s shining display was clouded by Luo Sheng’s comeback, but Jiang Wen was able to block off the attack.

“Boy, you’ll get some points for that attempt.”

Jiang Wen immediately launched a counter attack, and even though he cast out the same skill again, he increased the power output, and Luo Sheng was forced to retreat once more.

Jiang Wen started swinging his sword wildly, and blood started to flow from Luo Sheng’s body.

“I give up!” Luo Sheng had sustained a few injuries in quick succession, and promptly admitted his defeat at this point.

“The Quinyang Sect is so useless.” Jiang Wen intentionally said this out loud.

“d.a.m.n it, Jiang Wen is such an arrogant sn.o.b!” Jing Feng was furious: “If I run into him, I’ll give him a solid thrashing.”

“Let him gloat for a while, anyway, we’ll have our chance later, and then we can teach him a lesson.” Bi Fan said lightly manner.

Luo Sheng and w.a.n.g Yun Fei descended their respective rings roughly at the same time, and while Luo Sheng was felling embarra.s.sed about losing his fight, w.a.n.g Yun Fei was smiling after notching his first victory for the tournament.

Luo Sheng was endlessly lamenting his luck, and his teeth were making a banging sound.

City Sect’s w.a.n.g Feng managed to win his fight quite easily, and didn’t even expose his real strength while doing so.

Li Qian Xun’s opponent was also a ‘transformation’ layer martial artist, and the two of them were still engaged in a fierce battle.

Li Qian Xun was using Ba Gua Sect’s trade mark style, the ‘Universe Blade’, and his exquisite display made it appear as if his weapon was made of shadows. It was awfully difficult to spot his blade due to the sheer speed of his attacks.

Li Qian Xun’s attacks were bringing a gale of winds along with them, and it would seem that there was no need for him to make contact with his blade, since the winds seemed sharp enough to injure a man.

Li Qian Xun was using a large single-edged golden blade, which closely resembled a nine ring broadsword. The weapon was almost as tall as Li Qian Xun in height, and was very thick and wide in make, and must be astonishingly heavy in weight.

However, it appeared as if the weapon was weightless, since Li Qian Xun was waving it around effortlessly.

Li Qian Xun was swinging the blade around without any difficulty and at an amazing speed at that, which clearly exhibited his exceptional physical strength.

“Amazing force, it seems that Li Qian Xun is overbearingly powerful in physical terms.” Blue Dragon was quite surprised.

Bi Fan was thinking the exact same thing, and his eyes were reflecting a fervent desire to fight against the youngster. At this point, Bi Fan wasn’t even paying any attention to the other fights, and was very carefully studying Li Qian Xun’s movements.

“He will make a formidable opponent; it seems that I shouldn’t be looking down on the compet.i.tion here.” Bi Fan thought to himself.

Bi Fan and Blue Dragon had always focused on their physical practice, and could tell that Li Qian Xun’s physical strength was at par with Blue Dragon’s.

Li Qian Xun’s opponent was fairly strong in his own merit, but was still unable to fight back.

Li Qian Xun continued to launch one wave after the other, and each one was more violent than the previous.

“Bang bang…..” a series of quick and powerful attacks helped Li Qian Xun gain the upper hand in a matter of moments.

“Boom!” Li Qian Xun sent his opponents weapon flying outside the ring, and rested his blade on the neck of his opponent.

“You lose!” Li Qian Xun’s tone was extremely cold, and it appeared as if words were made of ice, while his eyes were filled with a murderous spirit.

“I give up; please don’t kill me…..” Li Qing Xun’s opponent knelt to the ground, while his eyes were full of fear.

Mo Nan said: “This guy is very strong, and it appears as if he is even stronger than Jing Feng and me; only Brother Bi Fan might be capable of beating him.”

“Strength may not necessarily be enough to win a fight, but this guy is really going to be a handful.” Jing Feng sighed: “But the most critical thing here is that we don’t know anything about him, so he’s definitely come up in the last three years only.”

“This man isn’t just strong, but his sword play is also quite skillful. If you run into him, then you will have a very difficult time in coping up with him.” Ling Xin Ya stated.

Mo Nan could see the respect that Ling Xin Ya had for this man, which was evidently visible in his eyes, and Mo Nan was already beginning to consider Li Qian Xun as an enemy.

“The compet.i.tion is very tough this time around, and it’s going to be very difficult to stand out in the Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon List this time.” Ji Ying Lan stated in a depressed tone.

It goes without saying that Ji Ying Lan wanted to make a name for himself, and wanted to show case the amount of research that he had done on the ‘Fufeng Double-edged sword’ technique.

First he was defeated by Bi Fan in the Quinyang Sect’s disciple’s tournament, and now he was faced with such heavy compet.i.tion here as well; he was already beginning to lose the desire to fight.

“Brother Ji Ying Lan, your strength may not be at par with him, but you’re exceptionally skilled, if you strive hard, you may have a chance of victory.” Jing Feng tried to cheer him up.

In fact, Ji Ying Lan had never known why, but he had always carried some doubts about his own competence.

This Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon List’s partic.i.p.ants were a lot stronger than the previous time’s, since there were only a very few strong contenders in the last tournament.

In fact, this tournament was very different from, at least, the last ten tournaments, and a lot of new, very strong, fighters had emerged in time to take part in this event.

Li Qian Xun, Bi Fan and Blue Dragon were all being regarded as the dark horses. The inclusion of so many such strong fighters in a single event was practically unheard of in the previous tournaments.

With so many powerful contenders, it would be very hard for any man to establish a clear superiority.

At the set came to an end, the tournament’s proceedings were halted for a lunch break.

The contest was temporarily stopped, since it was time for everyone to take a break, and eat something.

Arranging food for over two hundred thousand people isn’t an easy job, and the City Sect had arranged for a very simple meal, but there was plenty for everyone to eat.

The food that was served in the private seating areas was much better, and even though the food was still quite simple, the dressing rooms were additionally served fruits and tea, as the City Sect demonstrated its wealth.

In reality, no one was bothered about the food, since everyone was very excited to watch the rest of the tournament.

The contest had only proceeded to its half way point for the day, and a lot more was to come after the lunch break.

If the contests so far were an indication of what’s to come next, then the tournament was likely to get very exciting in the later stages.
