Chapter 29 (Part A) – The Battered Jade Book (1/2)

Chapter Twenty Nine (Part A)– The Battered Jade Book

(Mustang: This chapter is the final chapter of volume one. It is much longer in length as compared to normal chapter, so I will be uploading it in two parts. However, I will consider it as a single release. The first is out now, and the second will be uploaded soon. Thanks.)

Confronted with Bi Fan’s frenzied counter attack, the last of his standing opponents seemed completely confused.

Even though the man was much stronger than Bi Fan, the fashion in which Bi Fan had used the divine essence seal had reduced the gap in their effective strengths to a bare minimum, due to the increase in his speed.

Bi Fan’s knowledge of martial arts was superior to most other practitioners, especially techniques like ‘the immortal finger’, ‘rainy-fly sword’ and ‘blood devil’, weren’t common or ordinary, and weren’t exactly known to most people.

Bi Fan’s opponent apparently didn’t have such a diverse arsenal of attacks, and even though he was stronger, his technical knowledge was only mediocre. Bi Fan’s attacks had left him under enormous pressure.

Now, suddenly the situation had completely changed, and Bi Fan was gaining control of the fight.

“Boss! Kill him, attack him. You have to take revenge for your brother’s death.” The man who had sustained injuries earlier shouted out, in a desperate attempt to cheer his companion on.

However, his current state of surprise had left him very unsettled, and the man’s fighting had also taken a back step.

Suddenly with his sword in his right hand, Bi Fan attacked with the ‘rainy-fly sword’ towards the left hand of his opponent and blood sprayed all over.

With another strike, this time the ‘blood devil’ technique’s ‘blood palm’, Bi Fan managed to finish off his opponent. His sinister hit had left the whole ground drenched in the blood of his opponent.

Since Bi Fan had already taken care of two of the men, leaving behind a witness to tell the tale of this encounter would only bring trouble, and he would now have to kill the witness in order to keep this encounter a secret.

In this fight, Bi Fan had used up a lot of his secret tricks, out of desperation, the knowledge of which, if ever reached his enemies, would only cause trouble in the future.

Taken by the surprise, as his opponent had tried to dodge the sword, but failing to do so completely, he had fallen prey to Bi Fan’s palm.

“Arghh…” The man had shouted out loudly, his face deformed under the effect of the pain.

Then with a bursting sound, more like a crackle, he had fallen to the ground.

His body was now drenched in his own blood, leaving him in great pain, so much so that his eye balls seemed like they would pop out, but he was still alive.

The scene was so terrible that Bi Fan was having a difficult time holding back his own vomit.

“Boss! Are you okay? Boss…..” The injured man’s face revealing the fear his mind contained, tried to drag his injured body away, in a vain attempt to escape.

Bi Fan lunged over, and with one strike of his sword, took the man’s life.

As he looked at his blood soaked hands, he decided that he would never use the ‘blood palm’ attack unless it was a matter of life and death. This secret technique was far too sinister to use in any other situation.

The screams of the man were echoing too loud and were beginning to creep Bi Fan out. In order to alleviate the suffering of the man, Bi Fan took mercy on him and ended his life quickly.

The three men didn’t have any Yin Yang pouches or any other things that were of much value, just a few instruments and weapons. Bi Fan threw them inside his Yin Yang pouch and moved on.

As he continued on his way, he didn’t encounter any more trouble, just like a bonny sailor on a voyage.

Soon, Bi Fan had reached the entrance maze to the Ting Feng valley, and since he had memorized the path, he didn’t have any trouble finding his way even without any help from anyone.
