Demon Lord's Reincarnation

The very moment Chu Fan heard that the battle has started he made his move. He appeared before Richard in the blink of an eye. As Chu Fan was about to punch he suddenly felt something was wrong. Chu Fan quickly raised his arms in defense while backing away. All of this happened within less than a second and the moment Chu Fan backed away something flashed by.

Chu Fan felt something heavy hit his gauntlets and then after backing away there was a strong wind that passed by him. Once his foot landed on the ground his body was now filled with tiny wounds and his gauntlets had many scratches.

It wasn\'t just Chu Fan that was stunned; even the other disciples and Elders were shocked by what they saw. Despite lowering his cultivation to be the same as Chu Fan, that technique of his was incredibly fast.

Chu Fan and the other Outer Disciples and even most of the Inner Sect Disciples weren\'t able to follow the movement of Richard\'s swords. In fact, they weren\'t even able to perceive when Richard\'s swords left their scabbards.

On the other hand, those that could follow Richard\'s movements were amazed at how sharp each slash he made at such high speeds.

The Elders were quite aware of what technique Richard used as it was one of the most famous moves of the Tranor Clan. This was the Fangs of the Wolf, a technique created by Leonard Tranor, nicknamed the God of battle, death, and victory.

This technique was supposed to destroy the opponent\'s weapon, body, and spirit. Yet, none of the three things that were supposed to break was broken. While Chu Fan was still stunned by what just happened Richard was also slightly surprised, so for the first time in a long time he spoke.

"You\'re worthy."

The moment he said those words the entire atmosphere surrounding Richard changed. Moments ago Richard\'s aura was like a flowing river calm and serene but now it changed into something deadlier. The feeling Richard exuded was like the blade of the sword was right next to your neck ready to behead you. Even those that were simply watching felt the oppressive force being emitted by Richard.

Chu Fan who was standing right in front of Richard could fully experience the menacing aura. Still, instead of being afraid he could not help but smile, the same vicious smile as all the incarnations of the Strongest Mortal Soul. As someone who admired the deeds of the Strongest Mortal Soul, Chu Fan had practiced this smile for the longest time. He had created his style of fighting from the stories he heard of the Strongest Mortal Soul. Even parts of his personality mirrored the various incarnations of the Strongest Mortal Soul. If not for his talent being only slightly better than others, many would think that he was an actual incarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul.

"As expected of a direct descendant of Leonard Tranor! Fine show me everything you got, and I promise I will go beyond that and surpass you!"

After he spoke Chu Fan got into a stance that was similar to the Kauzaki style martial art Dragon Stance. When Richard saw the stance he was once again surprised. As a direct descendant of the Tranor clan who came out to train he had met many of the other clans of the Strongest Mortal Soul and he was quite familiar with the Kauzaki Style. He was able to see the similarities between the Dragon Stance and the stance Chu Fan was using.

Obviously, it wasn\'t the authentic Dragon Stance, but for an imitation it was the best Richard had seen, not to mention that Richard could sense that Chu Fan had added his own understanding into the stance. Richard felt even more impressed by the opponent he was facing. Despite having a weak cultivation his battle sense seems to be top class. Richard then nodded his head as he unsheathed his two swords.

"That smile, that stance, the very way you speak, I understand how much you admire my ancestor, I also understand your desire to surpass him. So allow me to show you a glimpse of the strength of which you seek."

Richard had his two swords pointed downward, at first glance it looked like he had many openings but those who have listened to the stories of Leonard Tranor knew that this stance was the most iconic stance of the Tranor Clan. The way it showed many openings was nothing more than a trap.

Mo Feng who was watching saw Richard\'s stance and the first thing he thought was wasn\'t this similar to the formless sword Ren taught him? There was also the aura Richard was emitting it felt slightly similar to Ren\'s as well.

\'Is Master related to the clans of the Strongest Mortal Soul?\'

...

Hearing the words Richard said and seeing the stance he took made Chu Fan even more excited. He had already witnessed Fangs of the Wolf, now Chu Fan was about to see another legendary technique.

"Now this is what I\'m talking about, come at me RICHARD TRANOR!"

The moment Chu Fan shouted those words, he clenched his fist gathering Qi, on the other hand, Richard started walking toward him. The way Richard walked was as if he was simply there to admire the scenery.

Yet despite simply walking it was as if each step he made teleported him a tiny bit forward. Chu Fan did not wait for Richard and charged at his opponent. Once he was close enough Chu Fan punched with his right hand, Chu Fan\'s right hand then seem to change into a roaring dragon. Richard calmly responded by thrusting one of his swords forward.

Richard\'s sword and Chu Fan\'s fist were about to collide but then something unexpected happened, right before Chu Fan\'s eyes Richard\'s sword suddenly bent in a weird way. Richard\'s sword was like a snake as it twirled around Chu Fan\'s fist which looked like a dragon.

Chu Fan gritted his teeth and tried to strengthen his arm as he continued to punch forward wanting to hit Richard. Yet before his fist could even touch Richard, the sword had already wrapped around Chu Fan\'s arm it was like a snake constricting a mighty dragon. Richard retracted his sword, once he did so Chu Fan\'s gauntlet started breaking, that attack almost took Chu Fan\'s entire arm.

Chu Fan\'s right arm had lost its gauntlet and was bleeding and broken, he could no longer move it. Chu Fan tried to kick Richard away but then he saw Richard\'s sword coming from above and below, it looked like a lion trying to devour its prey. Chu Fan quickly stomped on the ground, breaking one of the arena\'s tiles and he kicked it upward blocking one of Richard\'s swords as he backed away evading the other.

The moment Chu Fan took a step back Richard charged forward this time his two swords pointing towards Chu Fan. The image Chu Fan saw was that of a dragon charging toward him. Chu Fan gritted his teeth and instead of running away, he gathered all of his Qi into his left arm and punched forward striking the charging dragon head-on.

Richard and Chu Fan\'s attacks met head-on and an intense shockwave pushed back both sides. Richard was pushed back a few steps while Chu Fan flew a few meters away, he nearly fell off the stage. The result of the exchange was clear, Richard had only a scratch on his right shoulder, while Chu Fan was bleeding all over, also both of his arms were no longer able to move. Yet, despite what was happening to him he still had that fearsome smile on his face.

"That was amazing!"

On the other hand, Richard was stunned by what happened. He was actually injured by someone weaker than him. It was at that moment Richard felt something he has never felt before, excitement.
