The Six Immortals Chapter 199

Chapter 199 – God of Water, an Ancient Sect

(Mustang: It seems that the Gold Dan is lower than the Bone layer. The Author counts ‘Gold Dan’ as the third layer after ’emerging from the womb’ layer, but means to say that there’s only one layer in between [He’s counting ’emerging from the womb’ as one])

After a short break post the morning round, the contest proceeded to the afternoon sets.

The first contest of the afternoon set turned out to be a very interesting match since Hong Hu and Xuan Yu were poised to face each other.

Both men belonged to opposing Sects, and since they were both quite powerful, their match was obviously expected to be an eye-opener.

“I hope that Hong Hu wins…. The Wu Ji Sect simply cannot be allowed to win all the time.” Jing Feng said.

Yan Yu Si replied lightly: “Even though Hong Hu and Xuan Yu are equally strong, beating Xuan Yu still won’t be very easy.”

Indeed, the Wu Ji Sect disciples were often equipped with better weaponry and skills, which made them slightly superior to their counterparts in other sects.

Even if they were fighting someone of equivalent strength, they were more likely to win the fight.

The contest started.

Hong Hu casted out the ‘Three Thousand Rivers’, while Xuan Yu started with the ‘Triple Transformation Sword’.

‘Three Thousand Rivers’ was a very powerful but a very soft attack, and was capable of killing the enemy without any traces of aggression.

‘Triple Transformation Sword’ was even more powerful in comparison, and it seemed that Xuan Yu had made some changes to the technique since his improved version of the law seemed even more powerful than the original, and he started attacking his opponent from all sides.

Xuan Yu’s sharp display left Bi Fan completely dazzled.

Whereas, Hong Hu found himself in a losing position soon after the contest started.

“Oops, I’m afraid that Hong Hu is going to lose very soon…..” Yan Yu Si observed.

“If Xuan Yu continues to improve this law at this rate, then the Wu Ji Sect will remain at the top spot…..” Ling Xin Ya exclaimed.

Yan Yu Si forced a smile: “Overtaking the Wu Ji Sect isn’t going to be very easy…..”

The key to Wu Ji Sect’s strength was the quality and quantity of skill sets in their arsenal. On top of that, they were backed by the strongest Sect in the world, The Yuan Shi Sect.

Yan Yu Si could feel the pressure on her shoulders; in fact, she was finding it hard to breathe. She had always been strong, but her heart was still very fragile.

….   ….

Hong Hu and Xuan Yu were still tangled with each other, and their speed was making it difficult to tell the two men apart.

Although Hong Hu had been losing right from the start, Xuan Yu was still hadn’t been able to finish the match off since the former was still an advanced ‘Primal Infant’ layered martial artist at the end of the day.

However, it was obvious to all that Hong Hu would eventually lose the fight.

Nevertheless, Hong Hu kept increasing the ferocity of his attacks rather than conceding the fight.

“Hong Hu, I know that we’re old rivals, but you’re no match for me…. So why are you even bothering about it?” Xuan Yu stated as he continued to launch fierce attacks from all sides.

“Huh? I’m not good enough to beat you? You’ll know at the end of the fight!” Hong Hu shouted back.

Hong Hu’s suddenly changed his martial skill as he charged in screaming; no one in the audience was able to recognize this new skill.

Even though this new skill of Hong Hu’s was as soft as water, it came with the force of a Tsunami.

With the help of this new skill, Hong Hu quickly turned the tables.

“Amazing sword-play! This new skill so powerful!” Bi Fan praised out loudly.

Ling Xin Ya shook his head, and said: “This isn’t a Tian Shui Sect martial law….. even I can’t recognize this skill…. Wise Elder, have you ever seen this skill before?”

“This law seems to resemble the skill of an ancient Sect…. I heard my master speak about it once……” Yan Yu Si suddenly spoke up.

“Miss, you know the name of Hong Hu’s law?” Ling Xin Ya promptly asked.

“I’m just guessing, but I can’t be certain.” Yan Yu Si added: “If I’m not mistaken, then Hong Hu’s skill seems to resemble the ancient Sect, ‘God of Water’s’ martial skill… as for the name of this skill…. Only Hong Hu can answer that.” Yan Yu Si replied.

“‘God of Water’….. was a very powerful Sect in the ancient times, in fact, it was even more powerful than the Yuan Shi Sect. No one knows why it faded away…..” Luo Xiao Tian seemed as surprised as anyone else.

Ling Xin Ya said: “Hong Hu is really lucky to have inherited a law from such an ancient Sect!”

Jing Feng and the others were envious of the man since they all knew that it was extremely rare to learn something so special from an era gone by.

The Wu Ji Sect was really beginning to curse their luck now; a sure shot victory was beginning to turn into a defeat right in front of their eyes.

“Brother Po Jun, will Brother Xuan Yu be able to win?” One of the Wu Ji Sect’s disciples asked, seemingly losing faith in his senior.

Xuan Yuan Po Jun replied: “I’m afraid that we will lose this fight. Hong Hu got lucky this time around.”

Xuan Yuan Po Jun’s tone was so flat that it seemed as if he really didn’t care about the result of other people’s matches.

“How did the Tian Shui Sect come up with such an aggressive martial law……” many people were beginning to wonder.

Bi Fan was completely focused on memorizing the skill regardless of everything else. Since this powerful martial skill was passed down from generation to generation, Bi Fan knew that he would need to be very careful, because even the slightest of errors while researching this skill could result in severe injuries to his body.

Hong Hu continued to increase the ferocity of his attacks, and Xuan Yu’s started getting suppressed.

“Ha Ha…. Xuan Yu, I don’t see you winning this fight…. even by a long shot.” Hong Hu laughed.

Xuan Yu was on the verge of conceding the fight, but Hong Hu’s arrogant laughter changed his mind.

“I would’ve conceded the fight, but I can’t allow my Sect to lose.” Xuan Yu yelled back.

Xuan Yu reluctantly summoned his entire inner energy, and used it to cast out the strongest form of the ‘Triple Transformation Sword’.

Hong Hu sneered at the increasing intensity of his opponent’s attack, but managed to neutralize them very quickly.

Xuan Yu had already expended most of his strength, and was beginning to feel some weakness now.

Hong Hu noticed this change, and started attacking even more ferociously since he wished to use the charged up environment on the stage to kill Xuan Yu.

Xuan Yu calmed down after he sustained several injuries over a very short period of time afterwards.

“I surrender!”

Xuan Yu wasn’t foolish enough to die over such a minor dispute, which is why he conceded the fight.

Hong Hu was forced to stop his onslaught.

“Hong Hu from Tian Shui Sect wins!” the referee announced.

The declaration was followed by a loud uproar from the crowd.

“Ha ha, this is good! The Wu Ji Sect lost again.” Jing Feng laughed out.

Bi Fan was still obsessed with Hong Hu’s display: “Hong Hu’s law is so powerful! I really wish to experience it someday!”

“I would also like to try it… but we’re no match for him right now.” Wang Zhong seemed to be longing for a contest as well.

“If we continue to work hard, then we might be able to match up to him someday.” Mo Nan was brimming with confidence.

Mo Nan had learnt the ‘Sword of the Land’ law, and even though the skill wasn’t as ancient as Hong Hu’s, it was still a very powerful law. Mo Nan was confident that as long as he was able to master the law, he would be able to match up to Hong Hu.

Moreover, a person’s inherent strength and Physical force were more important than skills known.

Even an abundance of powerful laws were of no use without a proper power-packed backing.

Of course, if two fighters were equally matched in terms of overall strength, then knowledge of superior laws would prove to be the difference.

Ling Xin Ya said: “You are still very young and you’ll find many opportunities… as long as you work hard, even beating Hong Hu isn’t impossible in the future.”

Ling Xin Ya had just intended to casually comfort the youngsters, but even he knew that catching up with the likes of Hong Hu for people like Jing Feng was easier said than done.

“Well!” Luo Xiong had also heard this conversation: “You’re dreaming if you think that you can beat Hong Hu.”

Luo Xiong knew that even he wouldn’t be able to match Hong Hu, so he was obviously just taking out his frustration on the others.

Jing Feng and Mo Nan’s temper immediately soared, and they got up to confront Luo Xiong but were stopped by Ling Xin Ya. It would have been very embarrassing if the Quinyang Sect disciples broke into an internal fight in the middle of the Jiu Yu Imperial List.

On the other hand, Hong Hu’s display had given rise to a lot of debates, and a lot of people were talking about this mysterious law that they had just witnessed.

The contest continued, and soon it was Luo Xiong’s turn to take the stage.

Luo Xiong was much luckier this time around since he met a ‘Gold Dan’ layered martial artist from the ‘Rising Sun’ sect.

Luo Xiong charged in very aggressively from the moment the fight started, and launched a volley of fierce attacks.

“Luo Xiong is attacking so wildly, he’s definitely going to win this one.” Jing Feng smiled.

“That true. Luo Xiong is far superior… he should win with ease.” Mo Nan’s tone was very dull.

Luo Sheng seemed a bit angry for some reason.

Luo Xiong was afraid that Jing Feng and the others would start making fun of him unless he demonstrated his might, which is why he was attacking so ferociously.

Since Luo Xiong was much stronger, and was equipped with better skills and weaponry, he managed to win the fight very quickly.

“Brother won!” Luo Sheng was very excited.

Jing Feng also exclaimed in admiration: “Brother Luo Xiong is very powerful… he won the fight so quickly!”

Even though Luo Xiong wasn’t very popular, the Quiayang Sect disciples were still happy about his victory.

Luo Xiong returned to the Sect’s dressing room with an expressionless face, but his eyes were constantly staring at Bi Fan and his friends; it seemed that he was trying to gloat his accomplishment.
