Chapter 1279 - 1379: Doomed to Fail

Ye Tianfan, within the crimson flower bud, saw Senior Brother Yun Tian surrender, so he canceled the flower bud. Although this bud seemed quite delicate, it had incredibly strong defense capabilities, though it also consumed a vast amount of Spiritual Qi.

After all, the Fire Lotus itself is an offensive technique. Forcing it to be used as a shield is feasible because this Fire Lotus, if intended to be a defensive shield, requires constant attacks. In other words, although it appears to be defensive, the Fire Lotus is actually attacking the techniques directed at it.

Hence, it requires a vast amount of Spiritual Power, and substantial Control Power too, because even after defending, one cannot use this power excessively. It must be used just right, precisely enough to neutralize the opponent's attack!

Therefore, both Spiritual Power and mental energy are consumed significantly!

However, despite this Immortal Technique's great power, it isn't top-tier in terms of level. If it weren't for the abundant Spiritual Qi within Ye Tianfan, just this chicken-rib Immortal Technique alone could drain him. After all, although its power is impressive, it's somewhat not worth the exchange of Spiritual Power!

After leaving the arena with Senior Brother Yun Tian, Ye Tianfan had to draw lots, so Senior Brother Yun Tian returned to the spectator stands first.

After Ye Tianfan finished drawing lots, just as he was about to return to the stands, someone grabbed him and brought him back to the arena he had just left. Since the match with Senior Brother Yun Tian ended quickly, more than half of the arenas in the Martial Arts Arena were still in competition, so Ye Tianfan didn't know what had happened. Judging by the situation, he should be waiting for the next round to start!

"What's going on?" Ye Tianfan looked confused at the big-bearded man who brought him up!

"Kid, I drew number 8, and you drew number 24, so I'm your opponent. I don't want to waste time, so let's start fighting!" The big-bearded man shouted at Ye Tianfan, and then began to summon his Magical Treasure.

Seeing this, Ye Tianfan hurriedly looked at the referee Elder, who appeared with a helpless expression and gave Ye Tianfan a look as if to say 'hold on'. Ye Tianfan was dumbfounded, what's going on? He hadn't had a rest, and now he's forced to fight again?

Ye Tianfan glanced toward the Taichu Sect stands, wondering if anyone would come to his aid, only to see Taichu Real Master looking helpless and Senior Brother Yun Tian grinning mischievously!

Well, looks like he can't rely on them, only to be forced to continue fighting!

Ye Tianfan saw that the opponent, this big-bearded man, had summoned two giant hammers, holding them both in hand instead of letting them fly above.

Seeing this, Ye Tianfan realized that this big-bearded man seemed to be a Body Cultivator!

Ye Tianfan admired the giant hammers in the bearded man's hands: one red, one blue, and honestly, they looked quite appealing, especially the dragon etched on them, which seemed almost lifelike.

Before Ye Tianfan could take it all in, the bearded man controlled the two hammers to slam toward Ye Tianfan. Ye Tianfan suddenly felt like he was slapped in the face; wasn't this guy a Body Cultivator?

Of course, Ye Tianfan casually used the Fire Lotus Sword to deflect the hammers and sent them flying several meters high.

Then Ye Tianfan watched as the bearded man saw the hammers being flung into the sky, abandoned remote control, flipped into the air, grasping the handles tightly, and using the hammer's inertia to smash down toward Ye Tianfan.

Witnessing this scene, Ye Tianfan felt slapped again; this guy did seem to be a Body Cultivator. Nonetheless, Ye Tianfan stayed composed and cut out a stream of Sword Qi that surged toward the bearded man.

Next, Ye Tianfan saw the bearded man smash one of the hammers against the Sword Qi, and then he threw the other hammer at Ye Tianfan. Seeing this, Ye Tianfan knew it was too late to block, so he had to blink out of his spot. Otherwise, Ye Tianfan estimated getting hit by the hammer might end him seriously injured.

After all, Ye Tianfan could sense this hammer wasn't ordinary!

Then the bearded man smashed the Sword Qi into pieces with one hammer, and although Ye Tianfan evaded the thrown hammer, he didn't escape the ripples it created upon landing.

The ripple skimmed Ye Tianfan, sending him flying several meters away!

Being carried several meters away, Ye Tianfan felt like crying because he could sense the ripple caused him slight injury. Which means that even though the bearded man's hammer didn't strike him, the mere impact from landing sent vibrations injuring him, how outrageous is this? Ye Tianfan couldn't endure just the stomping of this guy alone!

While being shoved back by the ripple, Ye Tianfan wondered how powerful a ripple could be. Yet, he was injured, almost life-threatening!

Moreover, what frustrated Ye Tianfan most was that the bearded man only held this pair of Magical Treasures, one hammer glowing red, another blue. Although unaware of their exact capabilities, just the red-glowing hammer was unbearable; whether brushed or touched by it, it's fatal or crippling!

It seems Ye Tianfan's path ends here; he realized he couldn't proceed further; even handling an opponent's casually tossed hammer was beyond him. If he won this round, it'd definitely be the opponent going easy on him!

Of course, Ye Tianfan knew, in his first and second bouts, those Elder-level opponents definitely held back, as they only probed before surrendering. This round's opponent in no way would simply yield without testing his strength. It appears this is the end!

"I admit defeat!" Ye Tianfan directly raised both hands, saying with discontent!

After all, he had just defeated Senior Brother Yun Tian, only to get no time to speak much before being forced into the next fight, leading to his defeat.

Now Ye Tianfan will enter spectator mode, meaning he's out of further battles.
