Chapter 59 – Another Fierce Battle

(Mustang: Hey guys, this is an extra chapter. Enjoy.)

As soon as Bi Fan and Blue Dragon heard Lone Leaf’s words, they realized that the situation demanded immediate action, and the two of them halted in their steads.

Lone Leaf had originally intended on killing Tian Feng, but now, he was reconsidering his moves.

The new-comer, Gou Ming had already reached the pinnacle of the ‘transformation’ layer and was only a step away from entering the ‘emerging from the womb’ layer.

“Block my way and I’ll kill you!” Gou Ming lashed out in Tian Feng’s direction, his sword, drawn and raised, as he tried to rescue his junior.

The Blue Dragon, with his scimitar in his hand, and no fear of anything under the sun, charged straight back for Gou Ming.

Bi Fan, similarly, prepared his Purple-feathered sword, casting out ‘Fufeng double edged sword’ technique, and elegantly lunged in Gou Ming’s path, drifting as smoothly as the wind.

Gou Ming desperately wanted to rescue his junior, Tian Feng, but was forced to clash swords with Bi Fan and the Blue Dragon. The two of them were very strong, and he was forced to concentrate his attention on them, unable to belittle them and rush past, as he had originally wanted to.

Relief washed over Lone Leaf as he watched Bi Fan and Blue Dragon intercept Gou Ming, and ruthlessness returned to his body language.

Lone Leaf was almost at the same level as Tian Feng, and Tian Feng, as opposed to him, had already used up most of his energy. On top of that, Tian Feng had been injured quite seriously, which meant that he simply couldn’t compete against Lone Leaf in his present state.

“Brother, help me……” Tian Feng didn’t even have the energy to get up and try escaping again. So he just lay there, and cried for help.

Unfortunately for him, Gou Ming was being held back by Bi Fan and Blue Dragon, and simply couldn’t forge a path past them.

“Bang!” Lone Leaf raised his sword high, and brought it down upon Tian Feng’s head, severing it in one strike; mercilessly.

As soon as Lone Leaf finished off Tian Feng, he rushed over to help his allies, and tried to outflank Gou Ming, not even sparing any time to collect the loot from Tian Feng’s body.

Tian Feng’s possessions were very valuable, but Lone Leaf had already promised them to Bi Fan and the Blue Dragon, and he simply couldn’t dare to go back on his word; especially, not after he had witnessed what Bi Fan was really capable of.

Watching Tian Feng being murdered right in front of his eyes, made Gou Ming obscenely mad: “Lone Leaf, how dare you murder Tian Feng? Tian Feng’s elder brother Tian Yu will make you pay for this!”

The expression on Lone Leaf’s face changed gravely as soon as he heard the name Tian Yu.

“Kill him, and you guys can keep his valuables as well!” Lone Leaf announced in a loud voice.

Gou Ming simply couldn’t be allowed to live, or else, Tian Yu would find out, what happened to his brother, and would come looking for Lone Leaf.

The fearful expression on Lone Leaf’s face was enough to express the severity of the situation to Bi Fan and the Blue Dragon. They didn’t care who Tian Yu was, but the fear he instilled in their ally’s heart, was enough to make them understand the gravity of their predicament.

They could clearly understand that if Gou Ming was allowed to leave, then Lone Leaf would get in a whole lot of trouble. But moreover, they themselves would end up in the same boat as him; eventually.

They understood well enough that if Jian Shen came after them, then the forces that supported them wouldn’t back them anymore. In fact, they were afraid that, their own backers would hand them over to Jian Shen School.

“Gou Ming shall not be allowed to leave the Abyss alive.” Bi Fan, Blue Dragon, and Lone Leaf, were all clear on this idea, as they surrounded Gou Ming.

Meanwhile, Bi Fan had also indicated to the Chimera, that he shall hide somewhere in the vicinity, close by, and stay prepared to launch an attack at even the shortest of notices.

Gou Ming was really strong, and could stand his own, even in this situation, when he was faced with three opponents at once.

“Lone Leaf, you simply can’t kill me. I can leave whenever I feel like, and there’s nothing that you can do about it.”

Gou Ming was so confident of himself, that he was sure he’d be able to get out this situation. Moreover, he also wanted to take Tian Feng’s body with him.

“Yes well, let’s see!” Lone Leaf sneered.

He knew that he could never kill Gou Ming. But this new found confidence of his was accounted to the fact, that he had witnessed Bi Fan’s real strength.

Bi Fan was far stronger than Tian Feng, and was almost as strong as Gou Ming. On top of that, with Blue Dragon and the Lone Leaf assisting Bi Fan, Lone Leaf was sure that Bi Fan should be able to kill Gou Ming.

Gou Ming was completely unaware of Bi Fan’s real abilities, and was as gullible as his deceased compatriot; and hence, remained completely unaware of Bi Fan’s plans.

Lone Leaf winked at his allies, and then, launched a full scale, fierce, attack at Gou Ming.

The Blue Dragon was more than equal to it. With his scimitar in his hand, he amplified the Lone Leaf’s charge.

They were both aware of the fact, that they weren’t strong enough to kill Gou Ming. Understanding the circumstances, they both decided that they must create as many opportunities for Bi Fan as they can.

As he realized the intentions of his allies, Bi Fan, too, launched a fierce attack, employing ‘Fufeng Double-edged Sword’ technique, with much more force than before.

Bi Fan was taking into account, that if Gou Ming was smart, then any unusual activity on his part could give rise to Gou Ming’s suspicions. And then, Gou Ming would pay a lot more attention to him, than he was at the moment.

So, Bi Fan continued to use the usual moves, but with more force than before, same as Blue Dragon and Lone Leaf.

With Blue Dragon, Lone Leaf and Bi Fan, all attacking in full force, Gou Ming found himself struggling a bit.
