Chapter 712 - Defeating Jufan

Jufan instantly stopped his footsteps and turned his head to look at Lan Ruoxi. "Coward!"

Even though Jufan wanted to kill Xiao Tian so badly, but he didn't want to see Yahui and Shuren die because they were his friends

They had been friends for over ten years, so their friendship was very good. They even wanted to help him beat Xiao Tian, so of course, he didn't want them to die.

"Coward?!" Lan Ruoxi was unhappy when Jufan labeled her as a coward. "Do you want to fight me one on one? I'm fine with it."

Everyone instantly turned their heads towards Lan Ruoxi. They didn't expect her to dare to challenge Jufan in public like that.

They had no idea that Xiao Tian had poisoned Jufan, so they thought Jufan was still a martial artist at the grandmaster stage, and challenging a martial artist who was already at the grandmaster stage was a foolish thing to do.

'What a fool!'

Those were the words that appeared on their minds.

Because they were busy fighting before, people who knew that Lan Ruoxi had defeated Yahui had died, so they thought that Xiao Tian's underlings ganged up on Yahui before. That was why Yahui lost the fight.

Yahui, who was looking at Jufan, shook his head, giving a sign to Jufan not to fight Lan Ruoxi.

Jufan was surprised. He didn't expect that Yahui would give him a sign not to fight Lan Ruoxi. It was true that Lan Ruoxi had defeated Yahui, but if he fought her, no one would know who would be the winner later.

Because Jufan still didn't say anything, Lan Ruoxi asked, "Why don't you say anything?"

Jufan's face turned red because of anger. He felt as if Lan Ruoxi was stepping on his pride. As a martial artist at the grandmaster stage, he could not accept it. "If you wan- "

However, before Jufan had finished his words, Xiao Tian spoke, "Jufan, how about this? Let's continue our fight now, and if you can defeat me, I will release Yahui and Shuren. How is it? I'm game."

Of course, Xiao Tian was lying when he said that. There was no way he would let his enemies escape easily like that.

However, Xiao Tian's underlings thought that Xiao Tian was serious.

'What?!'

They found it hard to believe what they were hearing. Xiao Tian was someone who always remembered his enemies and never let them go easily.

"Sir…" Chun Hua wanted to express her disapproval.

If Xiao Tian let go of Yahui, Jufan and Shuren later, that meant everything would be meaningless later. All the sacrifices of his underlings would be in vain later.

Like Chun Hua, Xiao Tian's underlings also disagreed with Xiao Tian's idea. "Leader, we should not let them escape. Otherwise, they will cause trouble for us again later. We have to teach them a lesson for daring to cas-"

Xiao Tian raised his left hand, giving his underlings a sign to stop talking.

'I'm sure his strength has decreased again now.'

Even though Jufan's strength was still at the high-level master stage, but from their previous fights, Xiao Tian could feel that Jufan's strength would soon drop to the mid-level master stage.

Xiao Tian was sure that he would be able to defeat Jufan the moment Jufan's strength decreased to the mid-level master stage. That was why Xiao Tian dared to challenge Jufan like that.

Even though all of his underlings still disagreed with his idea, but none of them voiced it. Xiao Tian was their leader, so he could do whatever he wanted.

Unlike Xiao Tian's underlings, Lan Ruoxi and Zhao Sheng knew what Xiao Tian had in mind. They knew Xiao Tian's personality very well, so they knew that Xiao Tian would not let Jufan and the others escape later.

Lan Ruoxi and Zhao Sheng tried their best not to laugh. They even knew that Xiao Tian wanted to humiliate Jufan in front of everyone to satisfy his anger. That was why they said nothing.

"What?! Why don't you say something now? Don't tell me, you're afraid of me." Xiao Tian said with a mocking expression.

Jufan's eyes were filled with flames of fury when Xiao Tian mocked him. "Fine. But let's fight one on one. Do you dare?"

Jufan still thought of himself as a martial artist at the grandmaster stage, so he was sure that he could defeat Xiao Tian later.

The reason why he could not defeat Xiao Tian earlier was that Zhao Sheng helped Xiao Tian. If they were to fight one on one, he believed that he would have defeated Xiao Tian since they started fighting.

"Sure." Xiao Tian accepted instantly.

"Good!" Jufan took two steps forward. "Let's continue our fight."

Xiao Tian also walked closer towards Jufan.

At this moment, everyone had no intention of continuing their fight. They all wanted to see the fight between Jufan and Xiao Tian.

"Senior brother…" Ren Aoxu wanted to help Xiao Tian, but he knew that he was not Jufan's opponent.

"Die!" Jufan dashed towards Xiao Tian and threw out his fist.

He used both of his hands to attack Xiao Tian. Due to how fast his fists were, it seemed like he had more than two hands.

Xiao Tian's lips curled into a grin.

'Good! Keep attacking me.'

Because it was a one-on-one fight, Xiao Tian had no intention of counterattacking. He wanted to save his stamina and wait for the right moment to counterattack. That was why all he did was dodge Jufan's attacks.

"What's wrong? Why are you only running away? Haha." Because Xiao Tian never counterattacked, Jufan started to mock Xiao Tian.

"Haha. Look at him!  He is like a cat being chased by a tiger."

"Tch, tch, tch! Where did his previous mighty behavior go?"

"Coward!"

"That's right. All he did is run and run."

"Of course, because he is not grandmaster Jufan's opponent."

"Ah, you are right. How could a martial artist like him be the opponent of grandmaster Jufan?!"

"I'm sure grandmaster Jufan will beat him to death later."

"I think so too."

"And here, I thought he was strong. I don't know how could a martial artist like him dare to fight grandmaster Jufan in a one-on-one fight?"

One by one, Xiao Tian's enemies started to underestimate Xiao Tian because since Xiao Tian fought Jufan, all he did was only run and run.

"Shut up, bastard! It's a tactic, you know? Tactics!" one of the Blue Ice Lotus gang members was furious when they spoke ill of Xiao Tian.

"That's right." Another member added. "The winner of this fight has yet to be decided."

"What do you mean by saying the winner hasn't decided yet? All your leader does is run and run. I'm sure my Shifu will beat him to death later." one of Jufan's disciples said in a mocking tone as if the winner of the fight between Xiao Tian and Jufan had been decided.

Xiao Tian's underlings gritted their teeth. They wanted to talk back, but what Jufan's disciple said was true.

At this moment, Xiao Tian was still dodging Jufan's attacks. "What's wrong, Jufan? Why are your attacks so slow? Aren't you a martial artist at the grandmaster stage?"

"You! I will kill yo- cough." Before Jufan had finished his words, he coughed up blood.

"Eh! What's wrong? Why did grandmaster Jufan cough up blood?"

"I...I don't know."

"I didn't see Xiao Tian attacking grandmaster Jufan earlier."

"I also didn't see it."

Yahui's disciples and the others were shocked when they saw Jufan coughing up blood.

Zhao Sheng, who noticed it, laughed in his head.

'Haha. Now his strength is only at the mid-level master stage. You are doomed now, Jufan.'

Zhao Sheng was pleased when he found out that Jufan's strength had dropped by one level again. With this, the chances of Xiao Tian winning the fight were high.

Lan Ruoxi shifted her gaze from Xiao Tian to Zhao Sheng.

'If my memory isn't playing tricks on me, young master Zhao said that Jufan's strength would decrease by one level every time he coughed up blood. Does that mean his strength is now at the mid-level master stage?'

Lan Ruoxi then returned her attention to Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian's lips curled into a grin.

'Now it's the right time to counterattack.'

Because Jufan had coughed up blood, Xiao Tian knew it was time to attack Jufan.

"Jufan, you always say that I only know how to run. Now, I will attack you!" After saying that, Xiao Tian started to attack Jufan.

Cut, hang, point, thrust. Xiao Tian attacked Jufan non-stop and from all directions.

Because Jufan's strength had dropped to the mid-level master stage, he could not avoid all of Xiao Tian's attacks like before.

'What is this? Why did he suddenly become faster? Not only that, but his attacks are heavier than before too.'

Jufan was shocked when Xiao Tian's movements suddenly became faster, and his attacks became heavier. Actually, all of this was because of the poison.

Juan's body was getting weaker, and his movements also became slower. That was why he felt Xiao Tian getting stronger.

"Eh! What is this? Why did Xiao Tian suddenly have the upper hand?"

"I also don't know. Are my eyes playing tricks on me?"

"Didn't Xiao Tian only know how to run? Why did he suddenly become stronger?"

"What happened to grandmaster Jufan? How could Xiao Tian suddenly turn the tables?"

Jufan's disciples and the others were shocked when Xiao Tian suddenly had the upper hand in the fight. Previously, they were sure that Xiao Tian was not Jufan's opponent.

"Haha. As I said, there is no way our leader will lose the fight." Xiao Tian's underlings were thrilled when Xiao Tian had the upper hand in the fight. They were sure that Xiao Tian could defeat Jufan later.

Because Xiao Tian wanted to finish the fight immediately, he decided to use his secret move.

'Moon style sword of drawing techniques- second ceremony- Earth Breaker.'

Because Jufan's strength had dropped to the mid-level master stage, Xiao Tian was sure that he could defeat Jufan with the second secret move.

*Slash…Slash…Slash….

Like what Xiao Tian had guessed, Jufan was unable to block or avoid his attacks. Jufan's body was getting weaker and weaker, so he could not defend himself.

'No! This is impossible! There is no way he can defeat me.'

Jufan didn't want to admit it. He was a martial artist at the grandmaster stage, so there was no way Xiao Tian could defeat him.

*Fell…

Jufan fell on his knees. Arms, legs, chest, head. All parts of his body were bleeding.

After finishing his secret move, Xiao Tian was standing behind Jufan, back to back. He then walked towards Jufan and stood in front of him. "You have lost the fight, Jufan."
