Chapter 988 The Weapon is Broken
Atop the platform, Gu Fan stood with his arms folded, exhaling heavily in a lethargic manner devoid of enthusiasm, which paradoxically lent him an air of unfathomable depth. After all, such an intense martial arts competition was about to commence, and yet this man appeared completely unfazed.
Carrying a heavy gait, Jiang Tie of the Northern Desert Sword climbed onto the platform, his eyes brimming with fighting spirit and a hint of resentment – the very image of a combatant ready for a martial arts duel.
"I’m actually going to lose to this guy?" thought Jiang Tie, his heart filled with reluctance as he slowly drew his sword, and with it, a wave of murderous look swept across the platform.
Gu Fan was taken aback, "Good heavens, such intense murderous look – could this guy actually be serious?"
"Brother Gu, you’re unarmed and I’m armed. Don’t call it unfair," said Jiang Tie with an increasingly sharp gaze, a stark contrast to his jovial demeanor when everyone had been drinking together the previous night.
Gu Fan frowned, sensing deep hostility from Jiang Tie of the Northern Desert Sword. Gu Fan couldn’t recall having offended the man, and speculated that the leader of Xuanjian Sect must have ordered him to lose the competition, which was causing his irritation.
"It’s fine. I’m impervious to swords and spears; my body and fists are the best weapons there are," Gu Fan declared, bracing himself and launching the first attack with a push from his feet.
With a loud roar, Jiang Tie also swung his blade to meet the assault.
One armed with fists, the other with a blade, they engaged in a ferocious exchange, every move packed with powerful force.
