The Six Immortals Chapter 186

Chapter 186 – A World Without Swords

Blue Dragon’s public reputation changed very drastically after he beat w.a.n.g Feng, and he suddenly became the strongest contender for the third spot.

The entire eastern aristocracy seemed very surprised, and all the disciples who had previously bullied him were now carrying a very depressed look on their faces.

“Blue Dragon has become stronger than me now….. won’t he try to take revenge now?” one of the outer disciples seemed very worried.

“If he dares to provoke anyone, then I’ll kill him.” Another core disciple stated in rea.s.surance.

“Yes…. Blue Dragon is growing too fast, and he’s going to turn into a big threat if we don’t exterminate him soon.” Many of the disciples who had bullied him in the past now feared Blue Dragon’s retaliation.

The head of the Eastern Aristocracy looked at them, and warned in a cold tone: “You listen well… and tell the others as well, you mustn’t provoke Blue Dragon in the future. If anyone provokes Blue Dragon now, then I’ll personally deal with you all….”

The head of the eastern aristocracy had a very majestic and overbearing presence. His tone was so solemn that no one dared to utter anything in retaliation, and the entire dressing room went silent all of a sudden.

Even though a lot of spectators were cheering for Blue Dragon, not many people had expected him to actually win the match; his victory had surprised almost everyone inside the arena.

“Just imagine how strong he must be! If he can beat w.a.n.g Feng so easily, then even Mo Nan and Jing Feng won’t be able to beat him either. So the third place’s compet.i.tion is definitely going to be between Blue Dragon and Xuan Yuan Xiao Yu now… although it’s difficult to predict the winner.”

“It seems that the contest is going to get even more exciting now; I’m really looking forwards to it ah.”

“What do think is going to happen when Blue Dragon faces Xuan Yuan Xiao Yu?”

Often, the things that haven’t yet happened are the ones that ignite the maximum antsy.

“Brother Bi Fan was absolutely right; I don’t have any chance of winning against Blue Dragon, so I think that it’s better if I waive off my afternoon bout with him.” Jing Feng a.n.a.lyzed. “Wise elder, Deputy Master, what do you suggest?”

“Give up against Blue Dragon, and do your best against w.a.n.g Feng to get a win.” Ling Xin Ya advised.

At this point, everyone was trying to make their own calculations to get the best out of the situation at hand in order to improve their standings in the compet.i.tion.

Luo Xiao Tian didn’t say anything in reply, which meant that he was in agreement with Ling Xin Ya by default.

The tie-breakers carried on, and the remaining contestants were giving their best effort to win their respective matches.

Bi Fan was keeping a very close eye on these matches, and was trying to memorize as much as possible. These contestants were some of the finest martial artists of the young generation, and most of them were doing their best to improve their ranking; in fact, most of them were desperate.

Faced with such a desperate situation, no one was trying to conceal their trump cards anymore, which only made things better for Bi Fan.

Time flashed by, and the morning rounds were already over.

The afternoon rounds were scheduled to be opened with Jing Feng vs Blue Dragon, followed by w.a.n.g Feng vs Mo Nan.

After a good rest in the morning, Mo Nan was full of energy and ready for a fight. w.a.n.g Feng on the other hand, was a bit fatigued after a grueling duel with Blue Dragon, and hadn’t been able to restore his energy in the time which was provided.

Jing Feng and Blue Dragon had both consumed a fair bit of energy, but were mostly at par in terms of percentage of available strength.

Blue Dragon and Jing Feng took the stage as the afternoon contests started.

“Brother Dragon, it’s been a long time since I saw you; I had no idea that you had become so powerful.” Jing Feng smiled.

“Brother Jing Feng, the credit for my strength goes to Brother Bi Fan, and to some extent… fate.” Blue Dragon smiled.

“The two of you are abnormal; I think I’ll train with you guys from now on, just to make sure that you don’t leave me too far behind.” Jing Feng smiled, as he stated his intention without any traces of envy in his tone.

“Brother Jing Feng, it would be awesome if you could join us in the future!” Blue Dragon seemed very happy.

Given his temperament, it was awfully rare for Blue Dragon to make friends, and he had always regarded Jing Feng as a very close friend; so he obviously quite happy to know that Jing Feng wished to share his adventures with him.

“Brother Dragon, let’s get down to business now; it’s our turn to fight, but I’ll concede this fight right now if you’re sure that you can beat Xuan Yuan Xiao Yu…..” Jing Feng stated in intention.

“I can’t be sure of beating her.” Blue Dragon replied honestly.

“Well, I’ll still concede this fight.” Jing Feng smiled again.

His question had been quite pointless to begin with; apart from Bi Fan and Wu Ji Xuan, no one was a.s.sured to beat Xuan Yuan Xiao Yu.

Jing Feng’s decision to concede the fight without making any effort left everyone completely puzzled.

Jing Feng and Blue Dragon had a very usual relationship, and not many people were aware about this.

w.a.n.g Feng seemed quite depressed by this new development since he hadn’t expected Jing Feng to waive off the fight.

Since Jing Feng abstained from his contest against Blue Dragon, he’d be fresh and ready for his next contest, which was against w.a.n.g Feng.

w.a.n.g Feng obviously understood the reason behind Jing Feng’s actions, but knew that he was helpless in this regard.

Mo Nan and w.a.n.g Feng were asked to report to the stage immediately after Jing Feng and Blue Dragon stepped off. Since w.a.n.g Feng wasn’t at a hundred percent, he wasn’t sure about beating Mo Nan.

If circ.u.mstances didn’t change soon, then w.a.n.g Feng would end up being the most unlucky contestant in the race for the third spot.

However, w.a.n.g Feng knew that there were no other options left for him, and he quietly made his way towards the stage.

He looked a bit lonely as he dejectedly strode onto the stage.

“Brother w.a.n.g Feng, we finally have a chance to match out strengths.” Mo Nan smiled courteously.

“Ah yes, I recall that you weren’t even in the top ten in the last contest, so I’m quite amazed by your sudden progress Brother.” w.a.n.g Feng smiled back.

“Nothing but luck, Brother.” Mo Nan seemed rather humble.

The referee announced the start of the contest the moment the two men made their official salutations.

It wasn’t in w.a.n.g Feng’s nature to admit defeat easily, and since he wanted to end this fight as quickly as possible, he shifted the intensity of his attacks to top gear from his first move.

Mo Nan didn’t sit back either, and straight away employed ‘The Sword of the Land’ attack.

This was a contest of big skills, and neither of the two men was using any of the usual techniques at this point.

Both men seemed quite desperate to win, and even though neither wanted to hurt the other in the process, they were still fighting very fiercely.

w.a.n.g Feng’s movements were very subtle and crafty, while Mo Nan’s ‘The Sword of the Land’ was a very dominating attack.

w.a.n.g Feng was unable to get close to Mo Nan due to the monstrously overbearing force of Mo Nan’s attack.

Therefore, Mo Nan started to gain an upper hand fairly quickly.

Since w.a.n.g Feng hadn’t been able to regain his strength properly, he was only at eighty-ninety percent of his usual strength.

Even though w.a.n.g Feng was trying to seek opportunities to beat Mo Nan, Mo Nan wasn’t giving him any openings to make a fight.

The longer the fight dragged, the harder it would become for w.a.n.g Feng.

Even though w.a.n.g Feng knew that his chances of winning were quite low, he didn’t wish to admit his defeat. He regarded Mo Nan as the weakest of the five people in their pool, and knew that if he lost to Mo Nan, then he’ll end up losing all of his four fights.

“Arghhh!” w.a.n.g Feng screamed as cast out his best moves with his entire strength, enveloping the entire stage in a network of swords.

This gigantic network of sword brought a ferocious gale of winds along with it.

Mo Nan felt a nip in the air, and the hair on his body stood up in fear.

The Sword of the Land – A world without swords!

This law immediately vanquished w.a.n.g Feng’s entire sword-network, and left only Mo Nan’s majestic and overbearing attack alive.

“Zhumm….”

w.a.n.g Feng was forced to face Mo Nan’s attack head on, and was forced to retreat his steps to avoid the danger.

“I surrender!”

Left with no scope of a victory, w.a.n.g Feng ultimately chose to abandon the fight.

“Mo Nan, it seems that even if I were at my best, you’d still prove to be a tough task.” w.a.n.g Feng made a genuine remark.

“Your words are very kind, Brother w.a.n.g Feng.” Mo Nan replied merrily.

Mo Nan was glad that he hadn’t held back, and believed that w.a.n.g Feng would understand his reasons.
