Chapter 59 – Another Fierce Battle (2/2)

At first, Gou Ming had intended to take Tian Feng’s body with him, as he didn’t want his compatriot’s wealth falling into enemy hands.

But, as the fight wore on, he was beginning to consider abandoning that thought; and along with it, Tian Feng’s body.

“I don’t know which schools the two of you belong to. But what really baffles me, is that, why haven’t I heard of you guys, given you’re this strong?!” Gou Ming was really surprised with Blue Dragon and Bi Fan’s display of strength, and was curious about their origins.

Bi Fan and Blue Dragon, had been able to achieve these levels of strength at such a young age. This was no ordinary feat, and would have gained them a fair amount of recognition anywhere; even in a Jiu Da School.

As far as Bi Fan and Blue Dragon were concerned, a public reputation, or lack thereof, was attributed to the fact that they hadn’t been able to figure out the ins and outs of the martial arts world.

“Lone Leaf, you’re lucky that you’ve managed to find yourself two such powerful allies. So, I’ll let you go this time, but mark my words, Tian Yu will find you, and make you pay for this later.” Gou Ming decided that it was time to leave, but he made sure that he marked his departure with a threat.

Lone Leaf announced loudly: “Gou Ming is going to make an escape; stop him at all costs!”

He launched a very fierce attack, and charged for Gou Ming. He gave the attack everything he had, so much so, that he even abandoned his own defense.

Blue Dragon and Bi Fan interpreted the message loud and clear, and launched out violently at Gou Ming, completely surrounding, and suppressing him.

Faced with three such powerful and violent opponents, Gou Ming was temporarily forced to concentrate all his attention on defending himself, rather than figuring out an escape route.

“You’re very good, but this won’t be enough to kill me!” Gou Ming yelled out.

“Kill him!” Bi Fan and his allied kept pushing, not giving Gou Ming any room to escape.

The longer they would be able to keep him enthralled in the fight, the more favorable the situation would become for them.

Gou Ming, after all, was only but a lone man. Forced to fight three such powerful enemies, meant that he would have to consume a lot of energy, which meant that the longer the fight wore on, the harder it would be for him to escape. And, even if he was somehow able to escape in time, we would have consumed so much energy, that the Devils’ Race’s creature, would eventually hunt him down on his way out.

Additionally, a battle as fierce as theirs had attracted the attentions of a lot of strong beasts. In fact, the four of them were almost completely surrounded by the Devil’s Race inside the Abyss, at the moment.

With so many beasts present on the scene, making an escape would be even harder for Gou Ming now.

Gou Ming’s facial expression was becoming uglier with every passing minute.

“I cannot struggle like this for long now; this can turn into a real ship-wreck for me.” Gou Ming thought to himself, feeling very gloomy.

Crucifix Deception Sword!

Gou Ming finally cast out a top-level Jian Shen sword technique. This technique was so difficult to procure, that most outside martial artists never got their hands on it.

The ‘Crucifix Deception Sword’ was an exceptionally fast technique, and it appeared like his sword had turned into a ten-faced cross-bladed weapon.

Gou Ming launched several waves of this technique in quick succession, and all three of his enemies were forced to back down a bit.

Gou Ming had been focusing most of his attention on Lone Leaf, and almost half of his attacks were targeted at him.

Bi Fan would appear to be the weakest by the looks of it, and hence was the target of only a very small percentage of the attacks.

Bi Fan continued to defend using the ‘Fufeng Double-edged sword’ technique, but started to use more strength, and could deal with Gou Ming’s attacks easily.

Suddenly, Bi Fan cast out the ‘Rainy-fly sword’ technique, and made a bee-line course for Gou Ming.

Gou Ming was just about to make a run for it, and Bi Fan simply couldn’t allow him to do that.

Gou Ming had just managed to open up a path through Lone Leaf and Blue Dragon, and preparing to make the most of it and flee, but suddenly, he felt goosebumps rising all over his body.

“Danger!” Gou Ming’s heart warned him, and it started to beat much faster than before.

He trusted his gut without any hesitation, and gave up the idea of making a move for escape. He quickly turned his sword in Bi Fan’s direction.

Gou Ming’s reactions were so fast, that he, somehow, was able to match up to Bi Fan’s attack.

“Boom!”

Gou Ming had never imagined that Bi Fan would be so powerful, and as their swords met, Gou Ming almost lost the grip on his sword.

“Who the hell are you? You have so much hidden strength!” Gou Ming was shocked.

Bi Fan replied: “Why don’t you go and find that out in hell!”

Bi Fan continued to build up on his advantage, giving Gou Ming no space to breathe; no space whatsoever.

Blue Dragoon and Lone Leaf were beginning to get a little anxious, but were relieved, and glad, to see that Bi Fan had finally shifted gears. They followed in his stead, and launched a full-scale attack.

Gou Ming shifted all of his attention towards Bi Fan. His face even reflected some fear of Bi Fan.

Bi Fan continued to increase the pressure; happy to instill that fear in his opponent’s heart.
