Chapter 62 – Dare to draw out a Blood Oath?

(Mustang: Hey guys, this is the third and final regular release. Queue for Saturday’s sponsored chapter is now open. )

Bi Fan quickened up his footsteps, owing to this new, unexpected, unknown, strong arrival, and quickly incorporated the body of the Chief Komodo into his Yin Yang pouch.

The man stepped out in the open; he had a bearded face, with net-like sideburns, and looked as if he was, at least, in his thirties.

“Whisker Wang!” Lone Leaf was shocked.

Blue Dragon was curious, and so he asked: “Do you know him?”

Blue Dragon was pointing his finger in the direction of this new entrance, the bearded man.

“Wang Zhong. He’s very famous. He goes by the name Whisker Wang. He is one the most popular geniuses of the young generation, and well deserves his reputation.” Lone Leaf answered.

Lone Leaf explained further, but it sounded like he was talking more to himself than Bi Fan and Blue Dragon, as his voice wasn’t really coming out, due to fear: “Wang Zhong has no loyalty to any Sect, nor does he have a master. He’s only twenty-three, but he looks as if he’s in his forties. He is one of the strongest of our generation, so much so, that he has even beaten some of the renowned young martial artists of the Jiu Da Sect, with just a wooden sword. He’s a formidable young talent, and exceptionally difficult to beat.”

“Who are you? I have never heard of you before.” The bearded man grinned, his voice sounded almost demeaning in its tone.

“Bei Ming’s Lone Leaf, you wouldn’t have heard of me.” Lone Leaf replied.

Lone Leaf seemed prepared for Wang Zhong to attack him at any moment, and his arms were tightly clenched.

“Indeed. I have never heard of you before. Get out of the way.” Wang Zhong walked right past Lone Leaf.

He was marching straight towards Bi Fan, at a brisk pace, and his eyes seemed filled with a murderous aura.

“Hand over the body of that Komodo dragon, or I’ll kill you, and then take that carcass off yours.”

Wang Zhong had a very deep and powerful voice. His every step demonstrated his momentum, and power, and was beginning to oppress Bi Fan with his sheer presence.

Wang Zhong’s inner energy was hitting the pinnacle of the ‘transformation’ layer. And on top of that, he seemed quite strong physically as well.

Bi Fan could feel his tremendous energy, and his formidable physical strength. But it wasn’t just that, there was something else about him, it was the way he was walking, and the way he was talking. Powerful and confident; like he had nerves of steel.

This guy wasn’t the same as Gou Ming, Wang Zhong was a very experienced fighter, and had experienced countless battles. It reflected in his body language, which reeked of fighting spirit, and murderous intentions. He was definitely a stronger opponent than Gou Ming; a much stronger opponent.

On the other hand, Bi Fan had just settled a battle, and a very fierce one at that. Although he had already ingested a recovery Dan pellet, it would still be a while before he would be able to fully recover his strength.

If he engaged in combat with Wang Zhong at this time, then he would surely start at a very great disadvantage.

Bi Fan’s mind was racing; he needed to find a way to stall Wang Zhong; he needed to find a way to buy himself enough time to recover his energy and strength.

“Wang Zhong, isn’t that right? So, you want the Komodo’s carcass huh? Why don’t you come and get it?” Bi Fan challenged.

Bi Fan was holding his purple-feathered Sword in his hand, look-ready for a fight. No matter how strong the opponent is, he should never appear weak; he needed to keep Wang Zhong guessing.

Bi Fan’s cool contempt got to Wang Zhong, and his heart started to doubt itself.

Truth be told, Wang Zhong wasn’t really sure if he would have been able to kill off those two Komodo dragons all by himself, and with as much ease, as Bi Fan had displayed. So naturally, he wasn’t sure as to what Bi Fan was really capable of doing, and what other tricks he could have up his sleeves. On top of that, Bi Fan had just emerged from a tough battle, and was still ready for another one; Wang Zhong simply couldn’t dare to take a big risk without analyzing the situation first.

Wang Zhong had been practicing by himself for a long time now, and he had learnt to trust his instincts well.

“Trying to scare me huh? That’s not so easy boy.” Wang Zhong continued to approach Bi Fan, but his pace had slowed down now.

Bi Fan smiled: “Whisker Wang, are we just going to stand or are we going to have a contest? Are you afraid that I’ll beat you, or are you afraid of dying?”

Blue Dragon and Lone Leaf had also exhausted most of their energy, and wouldn’t be able to provide much assistance to Bi Fan at the moment, which Bi Fan was well aware off. He knew that he was on his own here.

“A contest? Looks like we are talking of a bet now?” Wang Zhong suddenly sprouted interest in a bet.

Wang Zhong believed that life was a gamble, and he, absolutely, loved gambling; so much so, that he was known to gamble with his life during fights.

He thought of himself as a gambler; a natural born gambler.
