Chapter 44 (Part A) – Swept Away

(Mustang: Hey guys, this is the first regular chapter of the week. Part B will be out in a few hours, Enjoy the Chapter.)

“Woah! Such a young man standing at the heart of the evil spirits, this is really amazing!” One man exclaimed.

A man whose beard resembled that of a goat’s, creased his eyebrows as he frowned while speaking up: “This youngster doesn’t seem to be afraid of these evil spirits and seems to have been here for a long time now. I would conclude that he’s a devil’s disciple, right?”

“These evil spirits are really powerful; even we have to exercise our powers to fend them off. I highly doubt that a man that young could be capable of lasting here for such a long time.”

They were some distance behind him, but Bi Fan could hear their conversation quite clearly, and couldn’t help as gloomy feeling crept into his heart.

“This is really bothering me, a dark practitioner, practicing his martial arts in here; it’s quite scary and dangerous!”

Bi Fan wanted to explain things, but he couldn’t open his mouth.

Even If he could open his mouth, he wouldn’t be able to explain things, as he wouldn’t be able to say anything.

All Bi Fan could do, was pray, that these martial artists would look into his situation before taking any action; otherwise, he was doomed to die.

“I would like to investigate the situation a little further. This boy obviously seems to be very strong, and on top of that, we have no idea who he really is.”

“I too, would like to take a better look.”

Following this, Bi Fan started hearing brisk footsteps, more than one set, approaching him at a very quick pace.

These people were genuinely very strong, even with the force of the evil spirits that lingered in this region; they were able to move forward in the area at such a brisk pace.

Bi Fan was really worried, as these people were capable of killing him off in an instant.

“Ah!” The fastest among the new comers issued a miserable shriek and quickly took a few back steps. “This kid is demonically strong. The influence of the spirits in this region isn’t the same as other places, it’s almost tenfold here. I can barely walk in there, how is he able to do it with so much ease?”

Two other humans, who were right behind him, tested it for themselves and were shocked when they realized that their companion was right.

“Scary! Really scary! He’s capable of practicing in that intense pressure! Could he be drawing support from the spirits as well?”

He was only trying to be humorous, but the others, almost a dozen of them, were very serious.

If the boy really was drawing energy from the evil spirits, then things could prove out to be very tricky for these people. And if such was the case, then the person in question, once, if successful, could mean bad news for everyone.

Soon, more than a dozen, extremely powerful martial artists had gathered around, and even though they were really tempted to sort Bi Fan out, none of them had the guts to take the initiative.

Due to the Yin Yang Lotus’s activity, a huge amount of spirits had formed a massive loop around him. This meant that the influence of the spirits around him was even greater, more powerful, and even more violent. So much so, that even these dozen or so ‘magical powers’ layer practitioners wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

“Everyone, let’s get a good look at his face, so we can locate him later. If he really is practicing such dark techniques, then it is vital that we eliminate him.” One man spoke up.

Bi Fan was incapable of speaking at the moment, but he felt relaxed. He had changed his appearance a bit on the way here, to avoid any attention from ‘rising sun’ disciples.
