The Six Immortals - Chapter 91

Wang Zhong was paired with Gu Feng, whereas Tie Fei Yun had chosen Lone Leaf, so naturally, Blue Dragon was quite disheartened.

But, Blue Dragon still made the best of the situation, and managed to challenge the third strongest member of the Jian Shen team, a man named Bo Lin. Bo Lin was also a ‘transformation’ layer martial artist.

The remaining Jian Shen disciples, automatically, fell into Bi Fan’s share of responsibilities. Bi Fan was already as strong as the peak of the ‘transformation’ layer, if not more, while his opponents were all far weaker than him.

Most of the these Jian Shen students wouldn’t have dared to enter into the First layer of the Devil’s Abyss on their own, and were simply here because they had been picked by Gu Feng to be a part of his team. They were mostly here on a daily-wage basis.

In a faction as large as the Jian Shen Sect, the competition between disciples was extremely fierce.

A sudden boost of performance was likely to result in increased attention from the School’s management, and better resources provisions; so naturally they had all agreed to follow him.

Even the Big martial arts factions like Jian Shen weren’t capable of procuring infinite resources, which is why they concentrated their limited resources only on the few chosen, elite students.

There were several other disciples outside these big sects who were at par with men like Gu Feng, but had never gotten the recognition that men like Gu Feng had, and were often treated like common-folk. Many of these men entered the first layer of the Devil’s Abyss more often than their renowned counterparts, to train in order to make up for the lack of financial support.

The first layer of the Devil’s Abyss was vast and boundless, and even though the Stone Giant had killed an awful lot of men, several more, awfully strong, men were probably never made aware of its sighting.

If the entire count of Strong fighters had been present on the scene of the battle with the Stone Giant, then, unified, they probably would have killed him in the first round of attacks itself.

If so many strong men had attacked the Giant, then they could have taken him down easily, just the way an ant colony takes down an Elephant.

Gu Feng’s team had comprised of four ‘transformation’ layer fighters initially, but only three of them were alive now, as Bi Fan’s platoon had already killed one off.

Bi Fan forced a smiled: “Oh, it seems that you guys have already taken the best ones; now all I have is this noxious selection of dates. They simply won’t be any fun, ah.”

The remaining of the Jian Shen disciples had heard of Wang Zhong and Lone Leaf, and would probably not anger either one of them, but being insulted by a ‘nobody from nowhere’ like Bi Fan, definitely made them furious.

“Boy, you are too arrogant for your own good; so much brass for just a ‘spiritual intelligence’ layered fighter!” The remaining Jian Shen disciples looked so enraged, that it appeared as if they were just aching to tear Bi Fan apart.

Bi Fan teased: “I’m better than you all, would you like to try and prove me wrong?”

“Attack!” the eleven of them surrounded him, and launched their attacks in a unionized fashion.

Since it was a game of speed now, Bi Fan decided to couple his new skills of ‘Swimming Dragon’ and ‘Babu Swimming Dragon’ fist. His shadow breezed through their ranks; and screams followed.

In an instant, Bi Fan had already slain four of those eleven Jian Shen disciples. His speed was so fast, that no one even saw what he really did.

The remaining seven were now standing with a silly, and terrified, look on their faces.

Bi Fan had no intention of stopping at just four, his silhouette charged through their ranks once again, like a bolt of lightning, and miserable shrieks rang once again.

The ones, who weren’t already dead, were so scared, that they started to flee for their lives.

To them, Bi Fan was nothing short of a monster, and they just wanted to get away from his clutches.

Now only five men were left; and Bi Fan made no move to chase after them, as they tried to scuttle away from him.

Gu Feng had been watching the massacre from the corner of his eyes, which were, now, red with rage: “Boy, no matter who you are, today you have managed to offend the Jian Shen Sect; death awaits you.”

“Haha, you think that one death is enough to make for all lives that I have taken.” Bi Fan laughed.

‘A snap of the fingers!’

Bi Fan started popping stones in quick succession after the men who were fleeing away from him. His stone-bullets hit their targets with perfect accuracy as usual.

In a flash, Bi Fan managed to kill four of the five of his remaining opponents, while the one last survivor had also already sustained severe injuries.

The horror-stricken man was wildly trying to escape.

“So you want to run away now? Humph!” Bi Fan sneered, as he launched another hail of bullets.

Two stones, pierced through the air, one after the other. The one at the back was moving at a much faster speed, and soon bumped into the one ahead.

The stone which was in the front was accelerated by the impact, and started to move towards its target at a much faster speed than the escaping-man had anticipated.

“Ah….” Another scream sounded in the vicinity.

The stone pierced a bloody hole in the head of that Jian Shen disciple, but still failed to floor him completely. The task was finished off by the second stone.

Bi Fan was done with his personal task. He had already killed eleven of the Jian Shen men that were assigned to him, and he hadn’t even broken a sweat over them.

“What a bunch of wastes!” Bi Fan muttered as he moved about collecting their bodies.

Now only three of the originally twenty-three man team remained, Gu Feng, Tie Fei Yun, and Bo Lin. All three of them were inside the ‘transformation layer’, and all three were going mad with fury, but more importantly, all three were afraid of Bi Fan.

They had each picked their counterparts in terms of strength, and were fairly occupied with their respective selections, only to realize that the real strength of their enemy still remained untested.

Even though all three of them were inside the ‘transformation’ layer, they still couldn’t have killed eleven Jian Shen Sect men in the fashion that Bi Fan just demonstrated.

This was the first time that they had ever seen such speed, and such ferocity.

Gu Feng, and the other two were smart enough to realize that they weren’t very likely to survive, even if they managed to kill their respective opponents. So they were only looking to escape now, which as it is, wasn’t going to be an easy task.

“Everyone, think of a way to escape. We need to get back and inform our administration about this, so they can all be avenged.” Gu Feng said loudly.

He hadn’t given up yet. As long as there was even a single strand of hope to make an escape, he was willing to try.

Gu Feng launched a very fierce attack, in the hope of pushing Wang Zhong back, so he could attempt an escape.

Wang Zhong wasn’t exactly having a walk in park, but he wasn’t going to allow Gu Feng to get away that easily, as it would only bring him disgrace.

Therefore, Wang Zhong was doing his utmost, even if it meant that he had to sustain a few injuries in the process, but he still wouldn’t let Gu Feng get away.

It wasn’t a matter of strength; if Wang Zhong had Gu Feng’s superior weaponry, and martial techniques, then the playing field would have been level between the two of them.

Wang Zhong was of considerable strength to his opponents, and was able to hold him back without facing many problems.

But more importantly, Bi Fan was lurking on the periphery of the battlefield, like a tiger waiting to pounce. If anyone made any attempts to run, Bi Fan would surely not hold back.

The only reason that Bi Fan hadn’t already engaged himself with the remaining three Jian Shen disciples is because he didn’t want to steal the opportunity from his Brothers. He was more than happy to provide his friends a chance to gain some valuable practical experience.

Finding strong opponents was a difficult task, and a fierce fight with a strong opponent was one of the best ways to improve strength.

Tie Fei Yun was far stronger than Lone Leaf, but wouldn’t be able to scramble much against Bi Fan, as he was simply no match for Bi Fan.

Lone Leaf had only recently undergone a massive surge in strength, which coupled with his rich practical experience, was the sole reason that he had been able to hold his own against Tie Fei Yun for so long.

On the face of it, Tie Fei Yun was only mid-way through the ‘transformation’ layer, but he too had an above average physical strength, which made him a little more powerful than he appeared.

Blue Dragon was busy with Bo Lin. Bo Lin had recently entered into the ‘transformation’ layer, but was no match for Blue Dragon’s physical strength.

Blue Dragon, owing to his superior physical strength, and with the help of his vicious weapon, was able to gain, and maintain, the upper hand with ease.

Bi Fan laughed: “Don’t take any unnecessary risks Brothers. Just remember, I’m here to assist you if you need it.”

“Brother Bi Fan, don’t interfere in my fight, ah!” Blue Dragon was prompt to dispel the idea of assistance.

Even though Blue Dragon was acting under excitement, Bi Fan knew that he would able to handle his opponent, so Bi Fan was focusing only on the other two fights.

Lone Leaf said: “Brother Bi Fan, I don’t think I’ll be able to sort him out on my own. But still, let me get some hands-on practice here.”

“I figure that I too could require some assistance later.” Wang Zhong said in a cold voice.

While Bi Fan’s party was at ease, Gu Feng’s three man team was anxious. They were striving hard to make room, so they could attempt an escape.

The Devil’s Abyss is so huge, that it’s usually considered very rare to bump into large groups of humans in quick succession, so Bi Fan wasn’t really worried about anyone finding out about the deeds.

“Natal Sword, crucifix deception sword!” Gu Feng finally cast out best skill.

A cloud of swords charged out, and swept towards Wang Zhong.

The momentum of the attack was so monstrous, that it appeared as if it would tear its target apart.

Naturally, Wang Zhong wasn’t going to go head on against an attack like that, and so, he quickly got out of the way.

Gu Feng’s sword hit the ground, and split open a pit in it.

His Natal Sword was already a very powerful weapon, and being coupled with an attack like ‘crucifix deception’, made the combination fatal. So obviously, Wang Zhong had no choice but shy away from facing it.

Since Wang Zhong was forced to retreat, Gu Feng saw his chance and took it well, as he darted away from the scene at the speed of lightening.

Bi Fan made no attempts to chase after him. Gu Feng had chosen the wrong direction; and was rushing head-on towards the Chimera, who was eagerly waiting for his turn.
