Chapter 459: Mental Demon Acts Up
At this point, Fan Zhibao was completely stunned.
He had thought that he could easily kill the other party.
But now, he did not even cause any damage, let alone finish him off.
If this were a game and one was of a high level with good equipment yet gave no output, he would definitely be scolded!
With such a huge gap, he was especially anxious.
Fan Zhibao couldn’t help but begin doubting his own strength.
Did I even cultivate?
Am I really no match for this trash?
Fan Zhibao’s state of mind had changed. He was starting to lose confidence.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
/
“I’m an Immortal who has transcended the immortal tribulation. I’m like a god.
“And he still has a mortal body.
“How can a mortal compare to a divine being, let alone defeat me?
“I must be dreaming. I must be dreaming.
“Fan Zhibao, wake up.
“Fan Zhibao, wake up.
“...”
Unknowingly, Fan Zhibao’s eyes became bloodshot.
He raised his arms and placed them on either side of his head. As if he had gone mad, he kept shouting, “Wake up, wake up...”
Seeing this scene, the disciples watching the battle were very surprised yet puzzled.
“Has Senior Brother Fan been triggered?”
“Is he having a mental breakdown?”
“Senior Brother Fan, you have to pull yourself together!”
The disciples cheered Fan Zhibao on.
Inside the venue.
Qin Chuan stood where he was, his expression solemn as he quietly sized up Fan Zhibao.
He felt that Fan Zhibao’s current state was a little off. He seemed to have been triggered, but his behavior was too abnormal.
At this moment, the elders watching the battle from high up in the sky were frowning with worry.
“I didn’t expect the mental demon in Fan Zhibao’s body to act up.
“If he doesn’t control it, he will definitely be demonized. By then, it will be too late.”
“But they are currently in a life-and-death duel. If we go over and interfere now, I’m afraid it will go against the rules.”
“Why do you care about the rules at a time like this?
“If we leave him alone, when Fan Zhibao becomes a demonized, our sect will lose an Immortal realm disciple.”
“I agree with Elder Wu’s suggestion. We have to put the sect’s interests first.
“Although Fan Zhibao cannot compare to those paragons, he’s still a genius.
“He had reached to Immortal realm with less than 300 years of cultivation. That is quite outstanding.
“In time, he will definitely surpass us.
“If the Sect Master was present, he would also allow us to do so,” said a blue-robed elder.
Among these elders, this elder undoubtedly had greater authority.
The other elders had no objections.
Just as they were about to go down, a blue figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
The elders were shocked.
“Elder... Elder Lan Lang!”
It was Lan Lang.
The elders were especially surprised by Lan Lang’s appearance.
When they came back to their senses, they bowed to Lan Lang.
After all, he was an Immortal King. Although he lived in seclusion in the third division, his status was still much higher than theirs.
“Elder Lan Lang, what brings you here?” asked the blue-robed elder respectfully.
With a grim expression, Lan Lang said, “I came to stop you from going down.”
His words were very direct, and the elders were even more surprised.
The blue-robed elder quickly organized his words and said, “Elder, a disciple’s mental demon is stirring up trouble below. He’s in danger of being demonized.
“Even though they are in a life-and-death duel, if we were to leave him alone, the sect would lose an Immortal realm disciple when that he becomes a demonized.
“In order not to worsen the situation, we had no choice but to make this decision. ”
Lan Lang replied, “He’s merely a disciple in the Immortal realm. It’s not like we can’t nurture another one.”
If it were anyone else, these elders would definitely retort.
But since it came from Lan Lang, they couldn’t argue with him.
The blue-robed elder continued, “Elder, I know that Immortal realm disciples are nothing in front of you.
“However, for the sect to develop, we need accumulation.
“It’s like how the large lakes and rivers are formed from gathering small streams.
“We cannot leave any disciple behind.
“If we ignore this disciple today, what will the rest of the disciples think?
“They might lose their passion for the sect.”
Lan Lang’s expression did not change. He said in a very serious tone, “If I say no, then no.
“Don’t forget that I was the one who created this Arena of Life and Death with a slash back then.
“I’m more qualified than all of you to call the shots!
“If you insist on going down, that’s fine too.
“We’ll have to see if my sword agrees. ”
With that, countless streaks of sword energies suddenly appeared in the sky above, emitting crisp sword hums.
Seeing this scene, these elders were instantly speechless.
They still had some understanding of Lan Lang’s character.
He would never joke around.
Looking at the sword energy that filled the sky, these elders were helpless and wore solemn expressions.
They couldn’t figure out why Lan Lang was trying so hard to stop them.
Although the Arena of Life and Death has a clear rule that outsiders were not allowed to interfere once a battle began, now that there was a special situation, they had to intervene!
With Lan Lang around, the elders had no choice but to watch Fan Zhibao move towards demonization.
In the Arena of Life and Death.
Blood-red steam rose from Fan Zhibao’s body. His eyes protruded and abruptly grew bigger.
His eyes were bloodshot, and veins were bulging all over his body. The meridians on his face and eyes were like spiderwebs, looking especially terrifying.
Fan Zhibao’s face was hideous. He held his head with both hands. He alternated between looking up at the sky and down at the ground. He even let out a low, beast-like sound.
“He’s...” Qin Chuan frowned in deep thought. Suddenly, he thought of something.” He’s demonized? ”
At this moment, the spectating disciples realized that something was wrong.
Some of the more experienced disciples seemed to know what was going on with Fan Zhibao.
“Senior Brother Fan’s mental demon is acting up?” a disciple suddenly asked.
Everyone was shocked.
Some female disciples covered their mouths in disbelief.
They all knew the dangers of mental demons. Once the mental demons acted up, if not controlled, they would definitely be, and their bodies would be controlled by the mental demon, turning them into fiends.
Some disciples could not accept it and could not help but ask,
“Didn’t Senior Brother Fan transcend the Immortal Tribulation? Why does he still have mental demons?”
A disciple explained, “It’s true that Senior Brother Fan has transcended the immortal tribulation, but that doesn’t mean that there won’t be any mental demons when one reaches the Immortal realm.
“With mental demons, no one knows when they will appear, and no one can guarantee that they will never get one.
“Since the ancient times until now, countless Immortal King experts have had their bodies occupied by the mental demons, and they then became the great fiends that brought chaos to the world.”
“Will Senior Brother Fan become a fiend?”
“There are elders up there. Although the arena’s rules forbid outsiders from interfering, this matter is very special after all. They won’t leave him alone.”
With that said, Fan Zhibao’s fanatical fans felt more at ease.
“Now that Senior Brother Fan’s mental demon has acted up, is there no end to this duel?”
“From the looks of it, there’s no result, but from the duel process, Senior Brother Fan has probably been defeated.
“After all, he’s a Heaven Immortal. After fighting for so many rounds, he didn’t injure Zhu Xiaoming at all. He’s terrible.”
“Senior Brother Fan going easy on him! If Senior Brother Fan was serious, Zhu Xiaoming would have been dead by now.” The person who spoke was Fan Zhibao’s fanatical fan.
Once this person said that, the other fanatical fans jumped out to rebut him.
The disciple didn’t want to argue with them. In any case, he firmly believed in his own opinion.
As long as one’s mind was normal and their vision wasn’t blurry, it was obvious whether Fan Zhibao had gone easy on him.
To most people, this life-and-death duel was both disappointing and shocking.
The disappointment was not that Fan Zhibao did not win but that the fight was not exciting enough.
What was surprising was that Zhu Xiaoming was unexpectedly powerful.
However, everyone still felt that if Fan Zhibao’s mental demon had not acted up, he could still win if they continued fighting like this.
Just as everyone was waiting for the elder to intervene, Fan Zhibao suddenly roared. The blood-red steam around him suddenly surged several times like a raging fire.
Everyone’s eyes widened.
Someone shouted,
“Senior Brother Fan is about to be demonized! Senior Brother Fan is about to be demonized!”
“Where are the elders? Why aren’t they coming down yet!”
The area was in chaos.
At this moment, Fan Zhibao stopped howling and fell silent.
The blood-red steam surrounding him suddenly turned from red to black.
At the same time, changes happened to his body.
