Chapter 65: Elder Lo Pu, where is he?
But it seemed that the attack hadn't stopped as the lion rushed towards him, radiating terrifying killing intent.
"Is this the end?" This question appeared in his mind.
Mo Fan knew if he wasn't able to move, this would be his end, and hence he gathered every ounce of strength in his body and rolled out of the way at the last moment.
*Swoosh*
After landing, he noticed the sword that was just some distance away from piercing a hole inside his body. He wanted to dodge, however, there wasn't enough time. If the sword managed to pierce him, it would be his death, however, before the sword could reach him,
Boom!
The other lion sent him flying out of the way with his claw attack. Though this attack was terrifying and he wouldn't like to experience it again, it was a thousand times better than the sword piercing his body.
Now, Some more bones in his body were broken, however, the warm current in his body was moving at full speed.
"Argh!" He groaned, getting up to fight, however, it seemed that the lions were not in the mood to give him enough time to recover as another claw appeared above him.
*Breakthrough*
At this moment, Mo Fan had a breakthrough as he found strength returning to his body. He rolled to the side, dodging the attack.
The lion's eyes opened wide in surprise upon seeing him move even after his attacks.
The other lion also appeared noticing the increase in Mo Fan's strength.
"Come you golden cats!" Mo Fan yelled with vigor, pouncing at the lions.
Lions and Mo Fan engaged in a long battle, sending a flurry of different attacks at each other. Sometimes the sword would also attempt to take Mo Fan's life, however, he had his guard up against it.
He was most vary of the sword in this fight since a single mistake could take his life.
"A-Am I seeing it correctly? Was this boy really this strong?" The Rising Phoenix Peak Master asked with astonished wide eyes.
"Indeed, fighting two Golden fur lions simultaneously while keeping an eye out for the sword. This boy is a genius and if I didn't see it wrongly, he just broke through too!" The old Peak master praised, stroking his long beard.
"Hahaha, see, I didn't see it wrongly. From the start, I knew he was special. I will surely take him into my Raging Phoenix Peak!" The brown-haired Peak master said proudly.
"We'll see about that!" The Rising Phoenix Peak Master scoffed at him.
"You!..." The Raging Phoenix Peak Master yelled before controlling himself. It wasn't good to give in to his taunts.
Meanwhile, after fighting for some time, Mo Fan and the lions had grown tired.
Mo Fan panted, breathing raggedly: "Ha..ha.., These beasts... Just what is wrong with these beasts? It's like they are ordered to fight me. As if they are scared to lose and can't afford to let me win. Even after getting beaten like this, they aren't retreating!"
"Ha..Ha.., it's as if they'll get punishment worse than death if they retreat!" Mo Fan pondered, puzzled by their unusual behavior.
*Swoosh*
Once again the sword appeared, attacking him.
Mo Fan was annoyed now.
He had gotten tired while the sword attacked with the same efficiency as previously. It wasn't fair. With difficulty, he once again dodged the sword.
However,
Boom!
As soon as he finished dodging, a humongous python tail appeared in his sight, sending him flying before getting stopped by colliding with a tree.
*Cough**cough*
"Argh!" He coughed out a mouthful of blood before groaning in pain. His body had wounds and claw marks all over and it seemed like a miracle that he could move.
His sight became blurry as he saw both lions, the python, and the sword rushing towards him.
"Looks like I'll die like this... curse you who made this trap *cough**cough*" He murmured as he accepted his death. There was nothing else he could do. He had been at his limit after fighting with two Golden Fur lions in the sword-attacking formation and now with the python also appearing, he couldn't win.
His eyelids came down as he waited for his death.
But,
At this moment, he felt some movement inside his chest as if something struggling to come out. He felt warm inside as he opened his eyes to see what it was.
A golden glow appeared in between his chest as the lions and python stopped, closing their eyes to hide away from the shiny light.
However, the sword kept rushing at him to finish him.
At this moment, Mo Fan felt something come out of his chest at a terrifying speed which collided with the sword, knocking it off.
Cling!
It then changed its target to the python before piercing through it at a horrifyingly fast speed.
*Dissipate*
The Phantom began to dissipate as it cried in pain.
Gradually the glow disappeared as the sword and the lions once again began to rush towards Mo Fan.
On the other hand, since the Phantom had been destroyed, the entrance to the area once again opened.
Mo Fan, however, didn't feel any delight since he couldn't move his body.
Escaping wasn't an option.
He could only hope that someone would save him but how was it possible?
It wasn't like somebody was waiting outside his area's entrance just to rescue him, right?
Wrong!
Because, as soon as the entrance opened, a figure rushed into the area and appeared in front of Mo Fan.
The figure soon released a terrifying pressure that made the lions kneel and unable to breathe.
It caught the sword, crushing it with one hand.
Mo Fan's sight was blurry, however, he could only see that it was a woman adorned in a pink dress.
"T-Thank..." He attempted to speak but, his eyes rolled to the back of his head, making him fall unconscious.
After who knows how long, he became conscious again.
He felt heavy in his head as grabbed it before opening his eyes slowly.
"Are you alright, Mo Fan?" The brown-haired peak master asked.
Mo Fan's sight was blurry, but despite that, he nodded in response.
"Good, then let's go to our peak!" The peak master said.
"Huh? Hey, let's have him choose first, obviously, my Rising Phoenix Peak is better than your stinky peak!" The green-haired peak master scoffed.
At this moment, Mo Fan's vision became clear as he looked at his surroundings.
He was in an open garden that seemed to be never-ending and multiple people surrounded him.
He also spotted Luo Can, Vi Ling, and that hateful Mo Pian among the crowd.
Also, his body had healed, he didn't know how but it was perfectly fine.
His disciple card was also in a brown-haired man's hand and their conversation answered most of the questions he had.
He stood up before dusting himself and looked at the powerful peak masters that were present.
"Mo Fan, join my Raging Phoenix Peak. It will be most suitable for you. I promise to take good care of you!" The Brown-haired peak master offered with a pleasing smile.
At this moment, The green-haired peak master interjected: "Mo Fan, don't listen to him. Join my Rising Phoenix Peak. Even Vi Ling has joined my peak. You'll have his company and my support!"
Hearing his offer, An old peak master stepped forward proudly: "Mo Fan, these two peaks aren't worth shit in front of my heavenly phoenix peak. Join it and you won't regret it."
The peak masters had witnessed Mo Fan's strength and found him desirable and hence this debate was happening.
Mo Fan had a conflicted expression and didn't know which peak to choose.
"Everyone!" A soothing voice entered his ears that seemed to contain authority.
Soon, The source of the voice appeared from behind the crowd.
A beautiful, mature, elegant woman who had her blush-pink hair falling back resembling a waterfall from a small bun held by an expensive-looking hairpin. Her hair was middle parted, revealing her forehead.
Adorned in a pink dress, she appeared breathtaking. She had a voluptuous figure with every asset to seduce men in place. Her skin was like jade, seemingly perfect.
Her presence was powerful and she held her head high, seeming to hold high authority.

Mo Fan was in a daze, unable to take his eyes off of her. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid his eyes on.
"So anxious to recruit Mo Fan that not even address the injustice that he had to face?" Her authoritative voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"Elder Lo Pu, where is he?" She asked.
At this moment, everyone remembered about the irregular incident on the stairs. Why didn't Elder Lo Pu intervened?
"I am here!" Elder Lo Pu appeared from the sky and his voice attracted everyone's attention.
He had a calm expression as he landed on the ground gently. He gave a light greeting by bowing.
"Everyone, You want to know why I didn't stop those five boys who were trying to eliminate this boy, right?" He asked with a loud voice.
Everyone present nodded, curious to know his answer.
Lo Pu, wearing a smile, answered: "The reason is simple, I was enlightened by young master Ashen and I judged that it would be better to not interfere!"
He was confident as he explained.
"Huh? What do you mean you were enlightened, explain clearly!" The beautiful lady asked with a frown.
Just what reason could justify not saving a helpless boy who was getting bullied by five boys?
She was also curious.
Lo Pu smiled before repeating the same words as Ashen.
