Chapter 49 (Part A) – Shamed

Jiang Wen looked at Bi Fan, coldly and his eyes were brimming with the aura of death.

“Boy, you dared to insult my brother! Things aren’t looking good for you.”

Bi Fan looked at Jiang Wen indifferently, and twitched his lips, as he cast the threat aside.

Jing Feng laughed: “Your brother got bullied by a new comer at Quinyang, he’s a complete waste; he’d be better off dead.”

Jing Feng’s words had easily managed to infuriate the entire group of ‘rising sun’ students.

Jiang Wen’s face turned ashen as he said: “Jing Feng, you’ve dared to insult ‘rising sun’ school, now you’re as good as dead!”

“Well, bite me. If you have what it takes.” Jing Feng smiled as he mocked his rival, while continuing to fan his face.

The Blue Dragon spoke up: “Brother, do you wish to sort these guys out as well?”

The ‘rising sun’ students were respectably strong and one could make out from the Blue Dragon’s body language, that he was more than willing to take a shot at them.

“Well, I’d hate to deny the wolves a chance first. So for now, let’s get in the queue.” Jing Feng shook his head.

Even with Jing Feng and his companions out of the equation, for the time being, Jiang Wen and his boys were in plenty of trouble as it is.

“I’ll be done with these wolves in no time, then, you’re next!” Jiang Wen issued another threat.

Jiang Wen employed his true strength this time, and used his low-grade weapon to a formidable effect, beheading more than one wolf with every strike.

“Jiang Wen is using a low grade sword right now, unlike the formidable weapon he used against me at the tournament. He won’t stand a chance against me with a weapon like this one.” Jing Feng stated.

“Relying on powerful weapons to win a fight…what a waste.” Bi Fan said in a detracting tone.

Jing Feng smiled: “Bi Fan, always remember, weapons are a subset of a fighter’s strength, never belittle them. Martial artists desperately search for good weapons and continue to upgrade them as they progress.”

Bi Fan couldn’t help but recall that he too, was in possession of some extraordinary weaponry, which he wasn’t capable of using at the moment. But he was well aware of the fact, that he simply couldn’t disclose this information to anyone, because if he did, then he would definitely not be able to retain them for long.

“I will remember that brother.”

Jiang Wen slashed past one wolf after another as carved his path towards the head of the pack.

The others in his company were also fighting with all of their strength, and the fight seemed like it was going to come to an end, much sooner than expected.

Even though the wolves outnumbered the ‘rising sun’ students, exceedingly, they didn’t have the same luxury in terms of strength. On top of that, Jiang Wen had already turned the battlefield into a slaughterhouse and no wolf was even remotely capable of matching his strength.

The Blue Dragon was glaring at the skills that Jiang Wen was displaying, preparing himself for the oncoming war.

The Blue Dragon wasn’t capable of defeating Jiang Wen at this time, but his goal was to top the Jiu Yu List, so naturally, he virtually considered Jiang Wen an enemy.

Jiang Wen saw the scorching glare in the Blue Dragon’s eyes as his heart felt slightly humbled. He simply couldn’t disregard the Blue Dragon, or underestimate him for that fact.

“Jiang Wen is indeed a very powerful foe; he’s simply massacring that wolf pack.” Jing Feng praised his nemesis.

If one put aside personal rivalry, then it was evident that Jiang Wen was an opponent worth praising and his strength had already reached the ‘transformation’ layer.

“Jing Feng, you’ve already reached the ‘transformation’ layer. You will probably break into the ‘emerging from the womb’ layer by the time the next Jiu Yu List tournament comes by.” Bi Fan stated; all smiles.

“’Emerging from the womb’ layer won’t be easy to break into, it’s a massive threshold and certainly not a very easy one to cross over to.” Jing Feng shook his head.

The Blue Dragon stated: “It’s better if some people advance; otherwise the Jiu Yu List won’t be any fun with such silly opponents.”

The Blue Dragon loved a good challenge, and had quite the affinity for a stronger challenge.

Jing Feng stared at the Blue Dragon in silence.

Bi Fan too, didn’t say anything; but he too, was full of fighting spirit and ready for a war.

“Wooo!….. Wooo!…” Blood-curling shrieks echoed unceasingly, as the wolves fell to their deaths in quick succession.

Soon, the twenty or so wolves that remained of the pack, started to scatter in all direction, hoping to flee from their oncoming deaths.

Many of the youngsters in Jiang Wen’s contingent were quite seriously injured and were bleeding profusely.

But in the murderous rage that Jiang Wen was in at the moment, he completely disregarded his state, and that of his companions, as he marched forward and came face to face with Jing Feng.

He was only concerned with Jing Feng. To him, Bi Fan was not worthy of his attention, and certainly not someone he would tax his mind over.

“Jiang Wen, you’ve finally managed to conclude your previous appointment. That took too much time, you were so slow, but well, we have an old account to settle.” Jing Feng continued to fan his face, and smile: “I will grant you one hour to reinstate your inner energy, before I start bullying you around.”

Jiang Wen was even more enraged now: “Jing Feng, you are nothing more than a fly in front of me, how dare you show me such arrogance?!”

“Well, if we have a go now, I’ll swat you aside like a fly, would you like to try?” Jing Feng teased, still smiling.

Even as much as he begrudged Jing Feng, Jiang Wen didn’t respond to that, and turned over to face Bi Fan instead. And he address Bi Fan in a cold voice: “Boy, you’re no match for me. I’ll let you gain some more experience before I deal with you.”

“Well, if we have a go now, I’ll swat you aside like a fly.” Bi Fan copied Jing Feng’s words and his tone very precisely.

Jiang Wen was going wild with blood lust: “Well, then, its time I teach you a lesson first!”

Jiang Wen had already consumed almost fifty percent of his inner energy, but he was extremely confident that he could easily finish off a ‘brave’ layer opponent, even in this condition.

However, he immediately looked over at Jing Feng, afraid that Jing Feng might intrude.

Jing Feng was well aware of Bi Fan’s capability, so simply smiled as he mocked Jiang Wen further: “Jiang Wen, in your current condition, you’re not going to able to match any Quinyang student. You might as well save yourself the embarrassment and quit trying.”

Jing Feng knew Jiang Wen well enough to know, that belittling him would only make him angrier.

Jiang Wen was beginning to lose all filters of control: “I’m going to sort the both of you out, one by one.”

“Wait, I’d like to go first!” The Blue Dragon interrupted, his voice sounding more like a war-cry.

“He’s challenged me, so I should go first.” Bi Fan stated.

Bi Fan simply didn’t want to miss the opportunity of trying out a ‘transformation’ layer opponent.

“Bi Fan, be very careful of his sword, it might seem like a low-grade weapon, but it’s exceptionally sharp. Don’t let it touch you.” Jing Feng cautioned.

Bi Fan nodded as he took out his light-ray sword.

“Boy, you’re dead!” Jiang Wen launched an early strike, and his sword sent out a massive screen of bright light, completely enveloping Bi Fan inside its range.

Bi Fan leaned on his back foot, and with almost ghostly swiftness, backed away from his position, at an incredible pace.

Jiang Wen attacked again, his sharp sword ready to chop Bi Fan, as it made a bee-line course towards Bi Fan’s face.

Jiang Wen had already made up his mind and he was preparing to chop off Bi Fan’s head.
