At this moment, the frail cultivator was utterly shocked upon witnessing Ding Fan's actions, never expecting the opponent to be so formidable!

The Sky-Shattering Pearl was something even cultivators at the Emergence Stage would avoid, yet Ding Fan managed to save a cultivator right from its clutches, which was simply unbelievable!

The surrounding cultivators who saw this scene were also utterly shocked.

It was unimaginable that a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator could withstand the power of the Sky-Shattering Pearl and still save another cultivator, which was truly astonishing.

For a moment, the gazes of many cultivators towards Ding Fan were filled with apprehension, clearly no longer daring to recklessly charge at him. Ding Fan's strength was enough to instill fear in them, and those at the Early Nascent Soul Stage would be courting death by confronting him.

In the eyes of the disciples of the Wild Wolf Gang, Ding Fan was no ordinary presence. Not only did he defend against the Sky-Shattering Pearl, but he also defeated a Late Nascent Soul Stage cultivator with just one move. How could these younger disciples not be intimidated by such prowess?

At this moment, many cultivators focused their gaze on the frail cultivator, obviously realizing that among the people around, only that frail cultivator could match the opponent.

People also knew that these two had just clashed, and the disciple from the Dayang Sect apparently did not fall behind.

For a moment, within the hearts of many Wild Wolf Gang cultivators, it was unclear who was superior between these two, and whether that frail cultivator could kill the Dayang Sect disciple.

At this time, Wang Hu slowly stood up, recalling the thunderous explosion just now, feeling a bit fearful. If it hadn't been for his big brother Ding Fan stepping in to save him, he might have died.

Wang Hu gratefully glanced at Ding Fan, and then stood beside him. Even though Ding Fan was now surrounded by a large number of Wild Wolf Gang disciples, making his situation as dangerous as a dragon's den or tiger's lair, Wang Hu stood beside him with determination. He wanted to live and die with his big brother!

"Big brother, leave those small fries to me!"

At this moment, Wang Hu glanced around at the Wild Wolf Gang disciples who were eyeing them fiercely and said to Ding Fan.

"Good brother, let's fight our way out together!"

Ding Fan glanced at Wang Hu, feeling touched. The larger picture was clear; the Wild Wolf Gang disciples outnumbered those of the Dayang Sect almost twofold, and it was apparent that today the Great Ocean Sect might truly cease to exist!

But his brother didn't abandon him and instead chose to live and die together, forming such a brotherhood was worth it!

...

The entire Dayang Sect was now engulfed in a "sea of fire," with wails and shouts of battle all around. The Wild Wolf Gang disciples outnumbered the Dayang Sect far too much, and their cultivation was also highly formidable. In a short time, many disciples of the Dayang Sect had fallen.

Meanwhile, the sect master He Zenfen was battling with several outer sect masters. Although He Zenfen was at the Clone Middle Stage, against the other Spirit Severing Initial Stage outer sect masters, he did not fall behind, but he couldn't free himself to protect the other disciples.

The battle among sect master level figures was filled with constant booms and rolling dust, with an imposing momentum. Ordinary disciples couldn't get near.

At this moment, He Zenfen wielded a longsword, with waves of sword shadows continuously swirling around him. One couldn't count how many swords there were, but it was certain that if one accidentally touched any of those countless sword shadows, they would be shattered to pieces and die instantly!

For a moment, the short elder Zhang Qiang swung a giant axe continuously towards He Zenfen. Although he was quite far away, every time the giant axe swung towards He Zenfen, fierce flames would erupt, creating an intimidating aura. Zhang Qiang's surroundings were scorching hot, with each swing dramatically raising the temperature around the giant axe.

However, when the massive flames met He Zenfen's sword qi, they all turned into a mist, and Zhang Qiang was not yet enough to deal with He Zenfen.

After all, He Zenfen was a Clone Middle Stage powerhouse, while Zhang Qiang, although strong, was only at the Spirit Severing Initial Stage.

At this moment, other several outer sect masters witnessing the scene of Zhang Qiang and He Zenfen, including a brawny elder wielding a long whip that cracked menacingly in the air. The True Qi seemed to imprison even the air around him, making it feel solid as if frozen. Any cultivator could see that getting close to this brawny elder would definitely result in being lashed by that cold long whip, potentially fatal or severely injurious even to a common Nascent Soul Cultivator.

For a moment, the brawny elder swung the long whip, continuously attacking He Zenfen by interjecting occasionally.

He Zenfen's longsword was like a solid barrier, tightly guarding him, and the brawny elder's long whip couldn't harm him in the slightest.

On the contrary, He Zenfen occasionally found openings in the opponent's attacks and was quick to strike back with his longsword.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

For a moment, sword blossoms continuously erupted. The brawny elder, witnessing this, was utterly shocked, flashing several times to completely evade the sword blossoms. Those sword blossoms were not ordinary, and any slight touch could be quite severe!

"Go die!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, the other two elders saw He Zenfen attacking the brawny elder, their eyes gleaming as they spotted a flaw in his defense. Immediately, one elder wielded a long spear towards He Zenfen's lower side, gathering True Qi in his hand and pushing it forward. The long spear went spiraling like a giant python, roaring towards He Zenfen's lower side!

Roar...

In an instant, the long spear whipped through the air, howling fiercely!

Another elder held a series of curved blades in his hand, targeting He Zenfen's head. With several flicks, a curved blade flew out of his hand, spiraling towards He Zenfen's head. Just as it neared He Zenfen, the blade suddenly detonated with a loud explosion, transforming into countless curved blades that filled the sky, all raining down upon He Zenfen.

The overwhelming force was unstoppable. Had it been an ordinary cultivator, even if a hundred of them were present, they would have been doomed under that barrage of blades!

"Hmph, you think you can kill me? Just you old geezers aren't enough to look at!"

In that moment, four elders unleashed their powerful techniques simultaneously, attacking He Zenfen together. Watching this scene, He Zenfen couldn't help but smirk coldly. He held their attacks in utter disdain, this being the pride of one at the Late Spirit Severing Stage.

"Formation!"

Following He Zenfen's loud shout, his previous fierce combative posture suddenly shifted into a powerful defensive array. In an instant, He Zenfen wielded his longsword, circling around him, and with a few swift movements, streams of Sword Qi quickly surrounded He Zenfen, forming a circle that securely protected him in the center.

The attacks from the four elders, upon meeting He Zenfen's defensive swordsmanship, instantly vanished into nothingness.

The four elders, witnessing this scene, were filled with shock. They never expected their opponent's swordsmanship to be so bizarre. One must understand that their combined attack was exceptionally formidable; even if their opponent's abilities were strong, it was impossible for their attack to vanish so suddenly!

What exactly is going on?

Many cultivator disciples nearby, seeing this scene, were also shocked. The battle involving He Zenfen and the others was already quite conspicuous, attracting the attention of many disciples and cultivators. This was normal since these sect masters were at the Spirit Severing Stage, and their presence was far more imposing than that of ordinary cultivators.

Many of the younger disciples, maintaining a cautious distance, observed the sect masters' duel. Originally, some disciples of the Dayang Sect were worried for their master, but at this moment, seeing the four sect masters' offensive vanish in He Zenfen's swordsmanship, it was truly too strange, wasn't it?

A number of cultivator disciples revealed expressions of astonishment.

"Reversing Divine Swordsmanship?"

When the attacks of the short-statured elder Zhang Qiang vanished, he couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing the scene.

"Reversing Divine Swordsmanship?"

"He Zenfen has actually mastered such an extraordinary swordsmanship? This is simply unbelievable!"

...

"Not good!"

At this moment, an elder cried out in alarm. In the next instant, the massive sword winds spiraled upwards from He Zenfen, and from the hurricane-like Sword Qi, four streams of light burst out, each charging back in the reverse direction of the original attacks on He Zenfen.

At the sight of this, the four elders couldn't hide their panic.

When they saw the four streams of light rushing towards them, each elder was taken aback!

The four streams of light were exact replicas of the attacks the elders had launched at He Zenfen, now all striking towards them in reverse.

Boom boom boom...

In that instant, tremendous explosions echoed repeatedly. The four elders hadn't anticipated that their own techniques would be returned to them intact under their opponent's swordsmanship.

Even more, the four techniques appeared even more terrifying than when they first struck, exceeding their original might.

The four elders, shocked and flustered, quickly unleashed their abilities, attempting to counter their own attacks. Encountering their own strikes was an infrequent occurrence for them!

Boom!

The sound of the collision was deafening. Though two of the elders ended up slightly wounded by their own attacks, upon seeing the disdainful smile of He Zenfen across from them, the arrogance in their eyes was gone. Clearly, someone at the Late Spirit Severing Stage wasn't someone they could easily handle.

It's important to note that the four elders were all at the Clone Middle Stage, still a rank below He Zenfen.

Moreover, the gap between levels, even within the Spirit Severing Stage, could mean a difference of over a year's worth of cultivation, with a vast disparity in strength, immensely distinct between levels.

Achieving a minor rank within the Spirit Severing Stage like advancing from the Clone Middle Stage to the Spirit Severing Late Stage required thirty to forty years of effort, a gap that was all too apparent.

Although these four elders' cultivation was a rank below their opponent's, two of them were just a step away from the Spirit Severing Late Stage, and with their superior numbers, they were not initially afraid of He Zenfen. In fact, at the beginning, these four elders were quite confident in capturing He Zenfen!
