Chapter 238: A fair fight
The secret chamber’s door flung open all of a sudden.
Lin Fan took a step out and appeared on the peak’s top. He raised his hands and suppressed the earth energy tornado.
Boom!
With a crack, space shattered and a dent formed.
The earth energy tornado shattered in no time and disappeared into thin air.
Standing still, powerful energy exploded outwards towards Yun Xiao peak, with Lin Fan as the epicenter.
The disciples gasped when they saw Lin Fan standing on top of the peak.
“Senior brother Lin has exited seclusion, and came to fight Senior brother Yun.”
“I don’t think Senior brother Lin will win, though. Senior brother Yun is already in the Heaven Star Border realm while Senior brother Lin is still an Earth Star Border realm fighter.”
“Senior brother Lin is indeed Senior brother Lin. He’s not even slightly intimidated by the Heaven Star Border realm!”
Amongst the disciples, ten inner disciples were shaking their heads. They were the only ones who disapproved of Yun Xiao’s action.
They were those who witnessed how Lin Fan killed the Heaven Star Border beast with one punch. To them, it was an absolutely terrifying scene.
On the other hand, the Patriarch and elders were all confused.
“Tian Xu, you have a brave disciple. He’s only in the Earth Star Border realm, yet he’s trying to fight Yun Xiao, who is in the Heaven Star Border realm. He should be commended for his bravery.” Ge Lian laughed.
“Of course.” Tian Xu smiled, caressing his beard. “How could my disciple be a coward? So what if the opponent is in the Heaven Star Border realm? Is he not human anymore?”
“You can’t say such things. The difference between a Heaven Star Border realm and the Earth Star Border realm can’t be overcome. It’s the difference between heaven and earth!” Huo Rong said, shaking his head. He didn’t stop the fight though, as he thought that Lin Fan had a smooth life should be defeated to learn his lesson and focus on cultivating in the future.
“Hehe!” Tian Xu laughed. He said nothing else and glanced at the fight. ~ What’s the big deal about being in the Heaven Star Border realm? I killed many Heaven Star Border realm myself when I was still in the Earth Star Border.~
~ It’s as simple as killing ants.~
~A group of people living under a stone.~
Tian Xu did not even want to comment. To him, they were just making a fuss.
~Yun Xiao was in the Heaven Star Border Stage One. I’d be worried if he’s in the Heaven Star Border three of above. But now, Tian Xu wasn’t even worried.~
Yun Xiao sat cross-legged. The Heaven Star energy was slowly building up upon seeing Lin Fan.
“Overestimating himself.”
Boom!
Heaven Star energy exploded out of him. ~Let me show Lin Fan how powerful a Heaven Star Border is.~
~However, I won’t injure him not because we are sect mates, but because we aren’t even on the same level. There’s no need for me to stoop to his level.~
Suddenly.
A shocking scene took place.
“Impossible!” Yun Xiao shrieked.
Bang!
When the Heaven Star energy collided with Lin Fan’s energy, it shattered and disappeared.
Lin Fan placed his hands behind his back and looked down from the sky. “Yun Xiao, can’t you just focus on breaking through. I originally had no intention to find trouble with you. Are you looking for a beating?”
The surrounding disciples were all struck dumb.
“So powerful. Look at how Senior brother Lin managed to suppress Senior brother Yun Xiao despite him being in the Heaven Star Border realm.”
“This is incredible. Senior brother Lin is so powerful. He’s only in the Earth Star Border realm, but he’s still able to suppress Senior brother Yun. This is absolutely terrifying.”
“Senior brother Yun should not have put in his all. If he did, Senior brother Lin would never be able to withstand the attack.”
They heard an explosion coming from the Yun Xiao peak just as they discussed this.
“This can’t be. Lin Fan, you’re just in the Earth Star Border realm, how could you have such strength?” Yun Xiao stood up, Heaven Star Body entering his body. A golden light could be seen in his eyes as intense energy exploded out from him.
The energy shaped into a dragon and let out a roar.
“How can this be? How did he manage to suppress Yun Xiao?” Ge Lian shrieked. “Maybe it’s because Yun Xiao had only just broken through to Heaven Star Border. Thus he was still unable to control his energy. But now, he will definitely win as he’s serious.”
“Mhmm. That’s indeed the case.” Gu Mu said calmly as if the previous scene did not take place.
“Tian Xu, your disciple is indeed something. No matter how it turns out, you should be proud that he was able to fight against Yun Xiao, who was a realm above him.” Huo Rong turned to Tian Xu.
The Invincible Peak.
Seeing the Heaven Star energy dragon, the disciples’ hearts nearly jumped into their throats. They could feel how powerful the energy was even if they were standing far away.
It was terrifying to even think about it.
Lin Fan stood still and shook his head. ~I’m not interested in fighting my sect mates. After the Sunshine Sect trip, I realized how huge the outside world is and how much danger there was.~
~Moreover, the Divine Religion is still a threat within the Sect.~
~Fighting amongst the Sect is just a waste of time. But if I can suppress him now, I can put an end to this.~
“Yun Xiao, you’re too much.”
He reached out his hand and launched a simple attack.
Boom!
A strong force pierced through the Heaven Star dragon, making it shatter like glass. However, the strong force was not even slightly affected, as it thundered towards Yun Xiao peak.
The Yun Xiao peak disciples were unable to withstand the force. The wind made their body shake, and some even fell under the pressure. They could feel the ferocious aura from the energy.
“How can this be?” Yun Xiao’s expression changed. He sent out an attack in reply, and intense Heaven Star energy exploded out. But as soon as it came in contact with Lin Fan’s energy, it dispersed immediately. Yun Xiao was even forced many steps back.
Lin Fan had already gone easy on Yun Xiao. He didn’t suppress him immediately as he didn’t want to embarrass him too much.
~If he wasn’t my sect mate, he would be dead by now.~
Just as Lin Fan turned around to go back to the chamber to continue his cultivation, angry shouts could be heard.
“Lin Fan, I’m going to fight you!”
Unable to tolerate the humiliation, Yun Xiao shouted out in anger. ~I’ve broken through to the Heaven Star Border, but why am I still not his opponent?~ Yun Xiao lost his confidence immediately.
“How could this be?” Ge Lian said, the color draining from his face. Disbelief was swimming in his eyes. To him, this was outrageous.
At the start, it wasn’t a big deal as it might be due to Yun Xiao not being able to control his energy yet. But now, he was making use of actual Heaven Star energy!
And Tian Xu’s disciple shattered his attack so easily! How could this be?
Gu Mu’s expression changed too.
He had high hopes for Yun Xiao, but how could a Heaven Star Border realm cultivator lose to an Earth Star Border realm fighter?
“I’ve said that my disciple isn’t weak. But Yun Xiao’s loss was a fair one too.” Tian Xu laughed.
“What skillset did you give your disciple?” Huo Rong asked.
“Skillset?” Tian Xu laughed. “Huo Rong, cultivation depends on yourself. I’ve never once helped him with his cultivation. It’s up to him whether he ends up a worm, snake, or dragon. We, too, are only where we are now thanks to our hard work back then.”
“I’ve said that if Yun Xiao cultivated for an even longer time, he’d be very powerful. But with his current cultivation, he may be strong compared to most but not my disciple. He won’t be able to suppress my disciple even if twenty years pass.”
Ignoring the other’s weird looks, Tian Xu boasted without care.
The Magnificent Flame Sect disciples were extremely shocked that Yun Xiao couldn’t suppress Lin Fan. Yun Xiao has even said that he wanted to duel Lin Fan. l
To them, this felt like a fantasy.
The Heaven Star Border realm would always be more powerful than the Earth Star Border realm. This was a law of the world. But now, Lin Fan was breaking the rule.
He proved that not only was it possible for an Earth Star Border fighter to surpass a Heaven Star Border elite, but it can also be done simply.
“Yun Xiao, don’t make things difficult for yourself.” Lin Fan said, looking at him.
“No, I don’t believe it.” Yun Xiao said, floating in the sky. He was currently shaking. “Lin Fan, I’m going to fight you. Even if I lose, I want to know the difference between both of us.”
Lin Fan placed his hands behind his back again and smiled. “Alright, then, I shall prove the strongest peak today. If you lose, go back and focus on cultivating instead. There’s no need to try to overtake me, as both of us have different paths.”
Pui!
Hearing this, many disciples felt like vomiting blood. ~Senior brother, Lin’s words are so hurtful.~
Yun Xiao’s heart sank, but he soon gathered himself. “Alright, please guide me.”
“Please.”
“There’s no need.” Lin Fan shook his head. “I’ll just stand here. Give it your all.”
“You.....” Yun Xiao’s expression changed. He was boiling with anger as he felt that the other party was humiliating him purposefully.
The Yun Xiao peak disciples were angry at Lin Fan too.
“Damn it. Senior brother Lin is going overboard. How dare he humiliate Senior Brother Yun?”
“Hmph. It must be because Senior brother Yun is new to the Heaven Star Border.”
“Yun Xiao peak is the best!”
Outside the Sect.
A ray of light shot towards the Sect.
Dao Tianwang was the peak leader of the Heaven’s King peak. He had just returned from his trip, and he had broken through to the Heaven Star Border realm, so he returned to show off his strength.
“Eh?” Dao Tianwang said, standing in the air. He wore a sky blue robe and looked like he was enlightened. His hair flowed down nicely and had outstanding looks. “Who’s fighting in the Sect? This feels like Yun Xiao’s aura. I see that he’s in the Heaven Star Border realm too.”
“Great, great. Let me head back and see how Jun Wutian is doing. If he has yet to break through, the fight for first will be between Yun Xiao and me.”
Without further ado, Dao Tianwang flew back into the Sect immediately.
He was currently in a good mood. He was now a different man after gaining control over Heaven and Earth energy.
“Magnificent Flame Sect, I’m back. Be prepared for the new me.”
He reached the Sect silently. He frowned and looked towards the distance away.
“Who is that?” He asked a disciple next to him.
The disciple was about to reply, “Can’t you see for yourself?” when he realized it was Dao Tianwang who was asking him the question. He swallowed back his words quickly and greeted Dao Tianwang immediately.
“Greetings, Senior brother Dao.”
