994: Chapter 994 There is no alarm clock here 994: Chapter 994 There is no alarm clock here After speaking with him, Gu Fan felt that Lu Bei wouldn’t say anything more.
But Gu Fan didn’t want to give up and wanted to keep asking questions.
However, he was stopped by Mo Yun, “What are you still doing here?
Can’t you see?
They think you’re from the Devil Cult, so they really don’t welco you.” With that, Mo Yun turned around and left.
Gu Fan knew that he should take the hint and leave, but it was hard for him to let go of the clue he’d finally caught.
He felt a deep sense of unwillingness in his heart.
Just as Gu Fan was about to say sothing more, he saw Lu Bei’s silent figure and could only give up, realizing it was pointless to embarrass himself further.
However, just as Gu Fan reached the doorway, he heard Lu Bei’s indifferent remark, “If you want to know where Jian Shen is, defeat the leader of Xuanjian Sect and beco the leader of the Martial Arts.
Then, I’ll tell you.”
“Really!” Gu Fan was excited, finally seeing a glimr of hope, but then he felt a wave of despair, because the difficulty of the task was just too great.
“Alright, I’ll try,” Gu Fan said, then he left, but with his head hung low and lacking any fighting spirit.
He rembered that if he beca the leader of the Martial Arts, his fa would resound throughout the world, and Lin Xi would surely hear of it, making Lu Bei’s information on Jian Shen’s whereabouts unnecessary.
Just as Gu Fan had stepped outside, soone ca to hurry him along, “What took you so long?
Hurry up, your match is about to start.”
“No way, already?
I haven’t thought of a way to deal with her yet,” Gu Fan realized that things were not looking good.
He had planned to use the remaining ti to co up with a strategy to counter the Female Sword Immortal, but now he had lost track of ti and hadn’t thought of anything.
So he rushed to the arena, which was already surrounded by a sea of people.
The looks in their eyes held resentnt, as if they were blaming Gu Fan for making them wait too long.
“Sorry everyone, I overslept and forgot to set the alarm,” Gu Fan’s remark left everyone confused.
What on earth was this alarm clock?
But no matter, the exciting Martial Arts Competition was about to start.
As soon as Gu Fan stepped onto the arena, he saw the Female Sword Immortal, all set and not to be trifled with.
But what surprised Gu Fan even more was the Female Sword Immortal’s first words, “Being late is being late, there’s no excuse.
There are no alarm clocks in this era.”
“Ah!” Gu Fan was dumbfounded.
He was about to ask about the alarm clock when he saw the Female Sword Immortal draw her sword.
Her graceful figure vanished in a flash, moving so fast it was unbelievable.
“My god, she’s so fast!” Instantly, Gu Fan activated his Vajra Body Protection, then felt a gust of wind behind him.
Acting on instinct, he imdiately swung a palm strike behind him.
However, the Female Sword Immortal seed to anticipate Gu Fan’s move and easily dodged it.
She struck from a tricky angle, hitting several of Gu Fan’s acupuncture points in succession.
The crowd below was astonished, not having seen how the Female Sword Immortal made her move.
Because of that, they were all the more impressed with her skill.
But Gu Fan had the protection of Vajra Body, so even if he was struck by the sword, it didn’t matter.
He raised his hand to strike back, determined to even the score.
The Female Sword Immortal didn’t back down either.
She t Gu Fan’s palm with her own, a clash of internal energies.
The Female Sword Immortal was much stronger and sent Gu Fan flying with a direct hit.
Gu Fan regained his footing, his heart trembling.
From the brief exchange, he knew she was the most formidable opponent he had faced in the Martial Arts Competition.
Winning on pure skill seed impossible.
As Gu Fan was deep in thought, the Female Sword Immortal began her next round of attacks.
She moved rapidly around Gu Fan, her steps unpredictable, moving left, right, forward, and back, as elusive as a ghost.
Gu Fan was at a loss for a mont, unable to find the Female Sword Immortal’s position at all.
He couldn’t control her movents, and thus didn’t know from where she would strike next.
One sword strike, two, three, and even more sword attacks ca from all directions, overwhelming Gu Fan.
He couldn’t block or dodge them and ended up being beaten helplessly.
In the end, he was kicked away by the Female Sword Immortal.
The people below the stage saw Gu Fan rolling and crawling away in a sorry state and saw no hope for his victory.
They couldn’t help but shake their heads and sigh, thinking that Gu Fan’s good luck had run its course.
In fact, many people had been hoping Gu Fan would win, then compete against the leader of the Xuanjian Sect for the Martial Arts alliance leader’s throne.
They believed it would be very interesting.
When the Female Sword Immortal sent Gu Fan reeling with another palm strike, everyone had already given up hope for him, even the Xuanjian Sect leader watching from a distance considered the Female Sword Immortal to be his most threatening opponent.
The major bookmaker was indifferent; according to the current odds, no matter who won or lost this match, the World’s Number One Gambling House stood to make a lot of money.
Above the platform, Gu Fan endured the frequent attacks with his Vajra Body Protection.
He refused to fall down.
Although he seed to be barely holding on, many noticed one thing, the Female Sword Immortal, unable to finish the fight quickly, was panting heavily.
After close to fifty rounds, Gu Fan was injured and in pain and could hardly stand straight.
But it appeared that the Female Sword Immortal was in worse shape, now relying on her sword to support herself.
The people below the stage couldn’t understand what the problem was, but so old-tirs in the crowd saw the clue: “I understand now.
The Female Sword Immortal uses a very special kind of martial arts, one that allows a person to greatly enhance their power in a short period.
It could be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds; however, the drawback is also very obvious.
The power is consud quickly and cannot sustain a prolonged battle.”
Hearing this, many rembered rumors indeed ntioned such a phenonon, and today it seed they were witnessing it.
So also made comparisons with her previous martial arts contest fights, where the Female Sword Immortal had never fought more than thirty rounds before defeating her opponents.
Now that she had t Gu Fan, who was able to take a beating, it had dragged on for fifty rounds.
“There’s a chance, lad, keep it up!” The people below the stage suddenly beca excited and began to cheer for Gu Fan.
Seeing the tide of battle turn, even the leader of the Xuanjian Sect was surprised: “Impossible, could it be that this young man will be my next opponent?”
Seeing that everyone was cheering for Gu Fan, the crowd was very uplifted.
The Female Sword Immortal gripped her treasured sword tightly again and then positioned herself to strike once more.
Gu Fan tensed up imdiately, his gaze fixed on every move of the Female Sword Immortal.
Suddenly, the Female Sword Immortal pushed off the ground, and like an arrow released from a bow, she swiftly moved to attack Gu Fan.
However, her speed was far from her peak, and Gu Fan saw her trajectory.
“Good, let’s see how I catch you.” Gu Fan reached out to grab her.
However, the Female Sword Immortal turned the tables by grabbing Gu Fan’s arm, then leaped with her legs, bringing her center of gravity down, and yanked Gu Fan off balance.
Just as Gu Fan was reacting, the Female Sword Immortal’s legs clamped around his neck.
“What is this?” Gu Fan was horrified.
There was no mistaking this feeling, she was about to use the Cross Lock.
