Chapter 306: Chapter 272 [Combat Training]

"Director, the life-and-death fight has already started."

The one who answered Murong Sheng was Kang Lin, who used a special communicator on his wrist to contact Zhao Meng.

"What’s the situation now?" Zhao Meng’s face changed as he asked.

"They’ve clashed twice, but no winner has emerged yet!" Kang Lin turned back, looking at Ye Fan and Murong Sheng, who were about a dozen meters apart, and reported truthfully.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Meng was taken aback. He understood that the reason the life-and-death fight had started on time was definitely because Murong Sheng and Ye Fan had ignored Kang Lin and the other two, so he didn’t blame Kang Lin. However, he hadn’t expected that Ye Fan could actually contend with Murong Sheng, who was wielding the Taiyin Xuan Sword!

After being stunned for a moment, Zhao Meng ended the call, planning to report the situation to Ye Wenhao but was filled with curiosity: How did he do it?

"He used his Mind Power to change the speed and direction of your sword strike!"

Outside the villa, Murong Gu spoke to clear up the confusion, with a slightly serious tone and the calm smile on his face gone.

All of this was because Ye Fan’s strength had exceeded his expectations!

As a Half-step Gang Qi realm master, even though Murong Gu hadn’t cultivated Magic, he still knew that after a Magician reaches the Innate Realm, they would develop a Mind Power Seed, and their Mind Power undergoes an essential transformation, which enables them to manipulate inanimate objects.

And the degree of control a Magician has over inanimate objects is directly proportional to the strength of their Mind Power; the stronger the Mind Power, the more formidable the control over inanimate objects!

In Murong Gu’s view, Ye Fan being able to use Mind Power to change the speed and direction of the Taiyin Xuan Sword meant that the strength of his Mind Power was absolutely no weaker than that of an Innate Great Success Magician!

What Murong Gu didn’t expect was that Ye Fan had managed to do all this at the moment of a life-and-death crisis!

This level of psychological quality was truly terrifying!

After all, most martial artists, in moments of life and death, are often so panicked that they can’t make the correct judgment or response, not to mention that they can’t even display their normal strength.

If even Murong Gu, a Half-step Gang Qi realm master, was shocked by Ye Fan’s strength, what about Murong Sheng and the other three members of the Yanhuang Organization?

After hearing Murong Gu’s explanation, they looked at Ye Fan as if they were looking at a monster, and the same thought filled their minds simultaneously: How could he possibly be so strong?

Is it possible??

Because of the mysterious crimson Gold crown inside him, Ye Fan’s quantity and intensity of Mind Power could compare with that of an Innate Great Success Magician.

And because he cultivated the Nine Heavens Profound Skill, though he was just an Early Innate Realm Martial Artist, in terms of bodily functions and Power, he was almost on par with Innate Great Success Martial Artists, and in terms of the quantity of Power, it was far more!

Under such circumstances, even without using the killing move ’Qi Rushes to the Sky’ from Xuansha Fist, he could contend with ordinary Innate Great Success Martial Artists.

Once he used the second level of ’Qi Rushes to the Sky’ to unleash eighteen times his power, he could almost instantly kill ordinary Innate Great Success Martial Artists, and contend with ordinary Peak stage of Innate Martial Artists!

And if he also employed Magic and Martial Arts against his foes, he could basically sweep through Martial Artists below the Innate Great Perfection realm!

In such a situation, although Murong Sheng’s combat power had soared by wielding the Taiyin Xuanmen Sword Technique, a high-level Martial Arts, when it came to pure combat power, he was not even a match for the Black Dragon Guard brothers, Shi Feng and Shi Ling, who Ye Fan had killed the other day, let alone compared to Ye Fan!

He was able to gain the upper hand entirely because of the Taiyin Xuan Sword in his hand, which not only increased his combat power by several times but also made Ye Fan’s Magic unable to pose a threat to him!

"Although he relies on Mind Power to dodge your attacks, he can only avoid them for a moment."

While Murong Sheng and the other four were in shock, Murong Gu once again spoke up, pointing out Ye Fan’s ’weakness’ in a cutting manner, "Because doing so consumes a great deal of Mind Power, and once he has exhausted it, he will be no match for you!"

"Kid, I have to admit, I underestimated your strength, but this can’t change the outcome of this life-and-death fight."

Hearing his father Murong Gu’s words, the shock on Murong Sheng’s face disappeared, and he regained his confidence, looking at Ye Fan with the eyes one would use to watch a monkey perform and sneered, "You will definitely be slain by me!"

"Snap—"

As his words fell, Murong Sheng exerted power through his feet, and the concrete ground immediately cracked, leaving a footprint as debris scattered.

Simultaneously, Murong Sheng leapt up, his feet tensed, tapped the ground twice in quick succession, taking advantage of the rebounding force to send his body fully into the air.

—Purple Swallow Through the Forest!

Executing the move ’Purple Swallow Through the Forest,’ Murong Sheng became like a swallow flying through the woods, rapidly shooting toward Ye Fan.

"Whoosh!"

In the breath of a moment, Murong Sheng reached Ye Fan, and the Taiyin Xuan Sword in his hand thrust out in continuation, with him and the sword almost becoming one.

Human Sword Unity!

Even though Murong Gu had reminded him to wait until Ye Fan’s Mind Power was depleted before killing Ye Fan, Murong Sheng couldn’t stand the outcome—before the life-and-death fight, he had arrogantly claimed that he would make Ye Fan kneel within three moves!

He wanted to defeat Ye Fan in the shortest time possible, so he went all out from the start!

However—

To Murong Sheng’s irritation, even as he entered into the Human Sword Unity state with this strike, he still couldn’t hit Ye Fan. Just like before, Ye Fan dodged his attack with a flash, utilizing Mind Power to interfere with his sword strikes.

"I want to see how long you can dodge!"

Having missed with one move, Murong Sheng snorted coldly and once again lunged at Ye Fan with sword in hand.

Giant Python Enters Hibernation, Embracing the Moon, Fairy Presents Fruit...

One move after another, the seventy-two techniques of the Taiyin Xuanmen Swordsmanship were executed by Murong Sheng with murderous intent.

For a time, the sound of breaking air arose from all directions outside the villa, shadows flickered, and the sword wind roared.

Hmm?

Because the speed of the two was too fast, among everyone present, only Murong Gu could clearly see every move of the two fighters.

Under his watchful eye, Ye Fan initially relied on Mind Power to compensate for his own disadvantages in speed and reaction, narrowly dodging Murong Sheng’s strikes every time.

But as time passed, Ye Fan’s dodging became increasingly effortless, his movements grew faster, and Murong Sheng’s attacks posed less and less threat to Ye Fan!

"Can you do anything other than flee like a coward?"

Not knowing how much time had passed, Murong Sheng realized that Ye Fan was avoiding his attacks more and more casually, and yet after he had expended half of his inner strength, he hadn’t even touched a hair on Ye Fan. In a fit of rage, he began to curse.

"You said you’d defeat me within three moves, didn’t you? Looks like even three hundred moves won’t be enough, will they?" Ye Fan teased with a face full of mockery, clearly provoking Murong Sheng to continue his assault.

"Why don’t you face me in a direct confrontation if you can!"

Murong Sheng shook with anger. In his view, if Ye Fan didn’t dodge everywhere but faced him head-on, this life-and-death fight would have ended long ago.

"If it weren’t for the Taiyin Xuan Sword, I could crush you with one hand!"

Ye Fan retorted disdainfully, "With your strength, you actually participated in the Qing bang competition as a seed contestant? That’s just laughable!"

"You’re seeking death!"

As a leading figure among the Wudang Sect’s young disciples and the pride of both Murong Gu and Wudang Sect Leader Heavenly Master Zhang, who had placed great hopes in him, Murong Sheng felt as if Ye Fan’s insults were like trampling on his proud heart, turning his face an ashen hue.

"If words could kill me, I guess I would have died a thousand or eight hundred times by now."

Ye Fan looked at Murong Sheng teasingly, as if watching a clown perform, while inwardly digesting the insights he had just gained by combining his Mind Power with his movement technique.

"Whoosh—"

Without response, an enraged Murong Sheng launched another sword strike at Ye Fan.

However—

Before Murong Sheng could reach Ye Fan, a powerful wave of Mind Power shot out once more from between Ye Fan’s eyebrows.

This time,

The powerful Mind Power didn’t all converge on the Taiyin Xuan Sword in Murong Sheng’s hands. Instead, it split in two, with one beam blasting straight towards Murong Sheng’s consciousness!

"Seeking death!"

Originally angry and unable to land a hit on Ye Fan, Murong Sheng was actually pleased to detect the Mind Power attack. Despite his ongoing inability to hit Ye Fan, he constantly remembered Murong Gu’s admonition to guard his consciousness with his power. In his eyes, Ye Fan was using Mind Power to compensate for his inferior movement technique; now that Ye Fan was attacking with Mind Power, he surely couldn’t compensate for his movement disadvantage as before!

Idealism is plump, reality is bony.

Although Murong Sheng succeeded in blocking Ye Fan’s Mind Power attack with his power, and even maintained his speed of attack, he still hadn’t touched a hair on Ye Fan!

Huh?

Murong Gu, who was watching from the side, suddenly frowned as he realized this.

Initially, he thought that even if Ye Fan could dodge Murong Sheng’s attacks by compensating with Mind Power, he was merely passively getting hit and couldn’t threaten Murong Sheng.

Now, however, it was different. While avoiding Murong Sheng’s attacks, Ye Fan could also counterattack with Mind Power...

This was a dangerous signal!

"Hum... Hum..."

Just as Murong Gu recognized Ye Fan as a threat to Murong Sheng, the rumbling sound of car engines came from the villa’s entrance, echoing through the skies above the estate.

Finally!

Hearing the rumble and sensing Zhao Meng’s released aura from afar, Ye Fan inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

For him, what had appeared as a continuous passive defense was, in fact, calculated and intentional.

He was waiting for Zhao Meng to arrive!

Even though Murong Gu stated he wouldn’t intervene in this fight, Ye Fan believed that if Murong Sheng were at a disadvantage or faced defeat, Murong Gu definitely wouldn’t stand by idly!

For this reason, he had to wait until Zhao Meng arrived to exert pressure on Murong Gu!

As the Yanhuang Organization’s head in Dong Hai, Zhao Meng’s identity would intimidate Murong Gu far more than Kang Lin and his companions.

The analogy was similar: a powerful gang leader might ignore ordinary cops but would be wary of the chief of police.

"Sigh~"

Simultaneously, as Zhao Meng sensed Ye Fan’s presence, he too secretly relaxed and grew curious: how had the Ye Family’s youngster managed to resist Murong Sheng’s attacks for so long?

Swoosh!

Soon after, and before Zhao Meng could ponder an answer, Ye Fan and Murong Sheng once again separated.

Under the sunlight, no trace of Murong Sheng’s initial arrogance remained on his face, replaced only by rage and irritability!

"How does it feel to be a sparring partner?"

Looking at Murong Sheng’s furious expression, Ye Fan asked coldly, a smirk on his face.

Sparring partner?

Startled by these two words, not only were Kang Lin and the three Yanhuang Organization members taken aback, but even Murong Gu stared at Ye Fan in shock!

Clearly, they couldn’t believe that the previously unstoppable Murong Sheng was actually serving as Ye Fan’s practice opponent!

"What... what did you say?"

Compared to their disbelief, Murong Sheng’s shock was beyond words, almost doubting his own hearing.

"From now on, you won’t have the chance to make a move!"

Instead of answering directly, Ye Fan spoke with murderous intent erupting!
