537 The End of the Battle (1/2)
”Chen Beixuan has won the battle!”
A woman in a white outfit said as she watched the battle from afar.
She looked sixteen or seventeen from a distance, but up close, her features resembled a young lady in her thirties. She gazed into the distance. Her eyes were dreamy, yet they had a great degree of perspicacity and discernment. Trying to read her expression was like reading a mysterious scroll that contained great wisdom.
”Pray to the Glorious Amitābha Buddha.”
A kind monk standing right next to the woman exclaimed. Then he said calmly, ”Patron Lin had cultivated his Blade Qi for sixty years, but he was still no match against Chen Beixuan. What a shame! If Patron Lin were alive a thousand years ago, he could at least reach the status of a Bodhisattva instead of Mortal Deity. ”
”Hehe… Mortal Deity.”
The woman in the white outfit snorted. ”It sounds fancy but cultivators in that stage had to exchange power with their own lives. One year's worth of vitality could last at most an hour on the battlefield. What use is Mortal Deity?
”On another note, Chen Beixuan would finally claim dominance over all of us after this battle. That is why I asked all of you to come here to come up with a countermeasure,” the woman said as a flicker of concern flashed across her face.
”Pray to the Amitābha Buddha.”
The old man lowered his head and agreed.
Meanwhile, the audiences near the battlefield were speechless about the outcome of the battle.
They gaped at Chen Fan stupidly. None of them had expected Chen Fan to not only defeat Lin Shuming but did so without getting harmed.
If Lin Shuming had failed, who else could bring Chen Fan to heels?
”He is invincible now!”
A Grandmaster from the Xin Yi Sect exclaimed with an equal mix of surprise, fear, and admiration.
The rest of the Immortal State Warriors kept their silence and didn't speak a word.
Let it be Yao Daoyi, Li Changsheng, or Azure Dragon, they all looked extremely troubled.
None of them, not even the ones who thought they had been overly generous in estimating Chen Fan's ability, had expected to see Lin Shuming's final coup de grace fail to make a dent on Chen Fan. Lin Shuming's attack should have broken an aircraft carrier into two halves, but it was easily countered by Chen Fan's Armor of Red Flame.
”I think Chen Beixuan is much more powerful than Ye Qincang fifty years ago.”
Yao Daoyi put in a deep voice.
”When the seven of us joined forces to take on Ye Qincang, I knew exactly how powerful he was. But I still have no clue as to the full extent of Chen Beixuan's ability. It's unbelievable.”
Li Changsheng shook his head and lamented.
Both Ye Qincang and Lin Shuming had reached the peak of the Immortal State and the limit of their power was a clear cut line to everyone. They could take on a few Immortal State Warriors, but that's all.
On the other hand, Chen Fan's power clearly belonged to an Earth Level Deity even though everyone was convinced that Chen Fan had not reached Earth Level Deity yet.
”He was not an Earth Level Deity, but he was as powerful as one. I just can't wrap my head around it.”
”Wummm.”
Watanabe's Blade, the infamous Kikumon Cross vibrated as if it, too, had sensed a powerful enemy and was eager to drink some blood. Watanabe shook his head and murmured.
”Samurai's spirit is about sacrifice, but no samurai should sacrifice themselves for no reason.”
Even the haughty Watanabe had succumbed to Chen Fan's display of power.
”Master Chen had won!”
A smile finally broke over Hua Yunfeng's face.
Meanwhile, the other members of the North Qiong Sect also let out a sigh of relief.
Wang Xiaoyun and An Ya felt both jolted by the sudden relief and nearly fell to the ground. They had been highly focused on the battle, and the sudden ending of the fight dazzled them.
”This battle would make Teacher not only the most powerful man in China but also the entire world.”
A'Xiu clenched her fist and said excitedly.
”I wager that Ye Qincang was no more than Mortal Deity level just like Lin Shuming. I have no doubt that the Master could defeat him.”
Yukishiro Sa put in with a cold smirk.
The outcome of the battle disheartened the other warriors. Chen Fan's victory marked his rise to power and dominance over the East.
”Huaalaaa!”
Chen Fan linked his hands behind his back and slowly descended toward the land.
The audiences lowered their heads to show respect to this incredible warrior. Even the four veteran Immortal State Warriors bowed slightly at Chen Fan despite the obvious dislike in their eyes.
”Lin Shuming is dead, but he didn't die without honor. To show my respect, I will protect the Lin Family from today onward. Anyone who dares to harm the Lin Family will face my wrath.”
Chen Fan said calmly.
”Yes..”
The North Qiong Sect disciples replied.
