Chapter 99: The Massive Black Sword

The surrounding spectators' eyes went wide; no one could believe the scene unfolding before them…

Xiao Fan was actually using his sword to hack at himself?

*Thud*

A chunk of flesh stained with Cyan Flame fell from Xiao Fan's left arm onto the ground…

Half of his entire left arm had been sliced away!

In an instant, blood sprayed from Xiao Fan's left arm. The Cyan Flame vanished, and the icy sensation he felt in his flowing blood disappeared…

At the same time, a sharp pain radiated from his left arm. With that single sword strike, he had hacked off all the flesh from half his arm just to remove the parts contaminated by the Cyan Flame.

*Gulp*

The sound of people swallowing hard could be heard everywhere…

"Isn't this Xiao Fan a bit too ruthless!"

"A madman, an absolute madman!"

This was the consensus everyone had regarding Xiao Fan—a ruthless man who could hack himself with a sword!

Who wouldn't be afraid?

Nangong Lingxuan's pupils also constricted sharply. She never dreamed that her opponent would use such a brutal method to rid himself of the Cyan Flame.

"This little fellow… is quite ruthless," Elder Shi Ji remarked.

Several Elders nearby also expressed their agreement… he was indeed ruthless enough.

Elder Cao Mu said, "If he can be this ruthless to himself in a mere sparring match, such a person will be even more ruthless toward others…"

This was the truth; Xiao Fan was ruthless to himself, but even more so to his enemies!

One could tell just by looking at Li Dong's fate…

With blood spurting from his left arm, Xiao Fan had no time to properly treat the wound. He pulled a Blood-stanching Medicinal Pill from his Storage Pouch and hastily swallowed it.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that limbs cannot be regrown below the Tongtian Realm,

He would have considered hacking off his entire left arm just now…

After tending to the wound, Xiao Fan let out a breath and clenched his left fist. His left arm had returned to normal and was functional again.

"Lecher, die!"

Although Nangong Lingxuan was shocked, she was not someone unaccustomed to the sight of blood.

Using the Cyan Flame took a heavy toll on her, so she needed to end this quickly!

Xiao Fan exhaled. Facing someone like Nangong Lingxuan head-on was even more dangerous than facing the frenzied Chen Feixing.

That Cyan Flame was too terrifying…

After all, hacking oneself also hurt quite a bit.

Xiao Fan retreated rapidly. This time, he didn't intend to clash head-on with Nangong Lingxuan.

He was very fast, and Nangong Lingxuan couldn't catch him for the time being. The two began a chase across the massive Arena.

Xiao Fan turned his head and looked at Nangong Lingxuan behind him with furrowed brows, a flash of ruthlessness appearing in his eyes.

*Whoosh*

Suddenly, a spear shot out, launching a sneak attack at Nangong Lingxuan with extreme speed!

"What!"

Nangong Lingxuan was startled. She stopped in her tracks and hurriedly blocked with her longsword.

*Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh*

However, at that moment, three more spears were hurled, aiming right for Nangong Lingxuan.

No one in the crowd expected that Xiao Fan would use hidden weapons!

And shouldn't hidden weapons be things like flying daggers or Flying Swords? Why were these spears!

Upon closer inspection, those thrown spears were actually individual Yellow Rank Magical Artifact spears!

"Lecher, damn you!"

Nangong Lingxuan cursed, thinking Xiao Fan was too despicable for launching a sneak attack.

But similarly, she thought Xiao Fan was too naive. Did he think he could defeat her just by throwing a few spears?

Nangong Lingxuan leaped into the air, dodging the three spears that followed.

*Whoosh*

*Whoosh*

*Whoosh*

Yet at this moment, three more spears shot toward Nangong Lingxuan from her blind spots…

And Xiao Fan himself had somehow appeared above her, slashing down with his sword!

The angles at which Xiao Fan threw the spears were extremely cunning.

He had predicted in advance that Nangong Lingxuan would definitely jump to dodge, so the spears were aimed beforehand at various blind spots in mid-air.

Nangong Lingxuan's brows were tightly knit. Her white clothes were as pure as snow; she hadn't been injured since the battle began.

However, the pressure on her was extremely heavy.

Using the Cyan Flame consumed a lot of her energy; her spiritual power was already seventy percent depleted.

She hadn't attacked with the Cyan Flame out of a whim, but because she knew that with her current strength, she couldn't defeat Xiao Fan without it.

She had watched the battle between Xiao Fan and Chen Feixing.

She had estimated Xiao Fan's strength at his peak.

Yet that hot-blooded youth from earlier…

The man who fought to the death against Chen Feixing…

He actually chose to use sneak attacks…

And against a woman, no less?

Nangong Lingxuan simply couldn't believe it.

However, as the person hailed as the number one talent in this selection and a direct descendant of the Nangong Family, she naturally wouldn't be defeated so easily.

She slapped her Storage Pouch, and a massive sword over a meter long appeared in her left hand…

It was pitch black all over, giving off a heavy, indestructible aura.

"What!"

Xiao Fan frowned. The Massive Black Sword was very strange, but he was already close and had no reason to retreat.

Nangong Lingxuan held the massive sword in her left hand and the longsword in her right, floating in mid-air—the sight was quite bizarre.

The moment the massive sword appeared in her left hand, she hurriedly swung it toward the three spears, while her right hand held her sword horizontally to block Xiao Fan's strike.

The three spears were easily deflected by the massive sword, and Xiao Fan's downward aerial slash also missed its mark.

However, after blocking the three spears with her left hand, Nangong Lingxuan didn't pause for a moment, swinging the massive sword toward Xiao Fan in mid-air!

Xiao Fan hastily pulled back his sword to parry the massive sword's strike.

*Clang*

Xiao Fan's longsword collided with Nangong Lingxuan's massive sword…

A numbing sensation shot up from his wrist. The power behind this Massive Black Sword's strike far exceeded that of a regular longsword.

It was even several degrees stronger than the force Chen Feixing had exerted earlier.

At that moment, Nangong Lingxuan swung the longsword burning with Cyan Flame toward Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan's brow furrowed. He instantly relaxed his wrist and used the massive force from the black sword to propel his body backward, avoiding the strike.

At the same time, he retreated rapidly, putting hundreds of meters between himself and Nangong Lingxuan in the blink of an eye…
