At this moment, the cooperation between the fat Elder and Ding Fan was extremely tacit, and the grey-robed Elder felt very frustrated and extremely furious, feeling utterly oppressed!

Seizing a momentary gap, the grey-robed Elder swiftly consumed a medicine pill.

In just an instant, the aura of the grey-robed Elder surged dramatically, making it seem as if his cultivation had suddenly reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage. Immediately, the grey-robed Elder slashed a cold, sharp longsword towards the fat Elder!

A powerful Sword Qi roared towards the fat Elder and Ding Fan, akin to a raging storm of sword rain! The momentum was incredibly terrifying!

At this moment, the fat Elder was extremely shocked to see this sight. He didn't expect this old bastard to actually use a pill to enhance his cultivation power. Clearly, it was apparent that the opponent was going all out! Immediately, the fat Elder, with a few swift turns, gathered all his True Qi, and surprisingly, executed a move to horizontally block in front of himself, creating a faintly visible blade-shaped True Qi shield in front of him.

At this moment, upon seeing this scene, Ding Fan's expression became very solemn, but in the next moment, a flash of inspiration occurred, and he quickly ran behind the fat Elder, transmitting all his True Qi into the fat Elder's body.

The True Qi that Ding Fan transmitted was evidently not ordinary, but infused with rich Arctic Chill True Qi. It's known that the Cold Qi released by the Frost Toad is no ordinary existence. Ding Fan knew that after the recent period of training, the Frost Toad was no problem against cultivators below the Early Nascent Soul Stage. The sheer Arctic Chill Qi it released alone would instill great fear in those at the Fetal Breath Stage.

Do not think that the Frost Toad only has a prowess of this level; remember that only a month has passed, and the Frost Toad has already advanced several ranks. It's known that no ordinary Yuan Beast can have such rapid cultivation speed in such a short period, which is one of the main reasons why the Frost Toad is considered a powerful existence—its cultivation speed is extremely fast. Even in hibernation, the Frost Toad is always in a state of cultivation.

It can be said that as long as the Frost Toad is alive, it remains in a state of cultivation. This is a truly shocking existence for any Yuan Beast, including cultivators! But this is merely the state of the Frost Toad when it's still relatively young; when it grows to a certain extent, its cultivation speed will greatly slow down.

But by the time the Frost Toad reaches that stage, it would already be an incredibly formidable existence!

This unparalleled Frost Toad's most frightening feature is its innate Cold Qi. One can imagine how horrifying the Arctic Chill Qi of the Frost Toad truly is.

Ding Fan briefly estimated in his mind that even an individual like the grey-robed Elder with a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation would absolutely have a tough time against the Arctic Chill Qi of this Frost Toad!

At this moment, when the fat Elder sensed the extremely icy True Qi being transmitted from Ding Fan's body, his heart was suddenly startled. Why is the other party's True Qi imbued with such dense Cold Qi? Moreover, this Cold Qi is terrifyingly sinister. It's known that if Ding Fan weren't actively controlling this Cold Qi to have no detrimental effect on himself, the fat Elder was utterly convinced he could not withstand it. This Cold Qi is too uncanny!

It's simply not something a typical cultivator can resist!

Although the fat Elder did not know exactly how Ding Fan cultivated to possess such Arctic Chill Qi, at this moment, his heart was a tumultuous storm.

Boom...

The grey-robed Elder's heavy sword strike viciously slammed towards the front of the fat Elder, emitting a deafening explosive sound.

When the grey-robed Elder saw Ding Fan actively moving behind the fat Elder, an involuntary smile flickered in his heart. Clearly, this was his strongest strike; even a Spirit Severing Initial Stage cultivator would weigh it carefully, let alone a mere Nascent Soul Mid Stage cultivator.

However, after much deliberation, the grey-robed Elder decided to use this strongest blow against the fat Elder. Although he hated Ding Fan with gritted teeth at this moment, the most significant threat was still the fat Elder.

But at this moment, he never imagined that Ding Fan would voluntarily come forward to court death. This was a joy beyond dreams! If you desire death, then I shall grant it to you!

At this moment, the surrounding cultivators witnessing this scene were all alarmed. Clearly, the grey-robed Elder's move was excessively powerful, nearly surpassing those on the Sect Masters' side.

In the eyes of many disciples of the Wild Wolf Gang, Ding Fan and the fat Elder were undoubtedly doomed! Such a powerful blow was something even cultivators standing further away could sense as having an overwhelmingly strong aura. This attack was simply something that general cultivators could not resist!

"Elder He's strike, those two are undoubtedly doomed, there's no chance of survival!"

"That's for sure, I estimate that even if a few Sect Masters came over, they'd have to weigh it carefully! Clearly, it's not something a cultivator like Ding Fan can contend with!"

"That Ding Fan doesn't even move further away, and actually rushes towards it! He's simply courting death! Does he think he's so daring? When the time comes, he probably won't even know how he died!"

"Heh heh... by then he might not even have time to cry!"

"This is the kind of trash the Dayang Sect produces!"

...

For a moment, many of the Wild Wolf Gang cultivators watching Ding Fan's actions let out a disdainful discussion. Evidently, they already predicted that Ding Fan's consequences would be quite miserable!

At this moment, seeing Ding Fan's action, some of the disciples of the Dayang Sect showed a face full of worry, clearly, the grey-robed Elder's sword aura was much too strong.

"Hmm? Not good!"

Pfft...

Just as the disciples of the Wild Wolf Gang were eagerly awaiting Ding Fan and the other to be utterly defeated, the grey-robed elder suddenly let out a gasp. His whole body involuntarily was knocked back, and a mouthful of blood, seemingly mixed with tiny ice shards, was spewed out directly.

In an instant, the grey-robed elder's face contorted in extreme pain as he lay one-handed on the ground, shock painted all over his face!

Just moments ago, when his most powerful strike hit the opponent, a rare and formidable Cold Qi instantly surged from the opponent's body into his. It was an Arctic Chill that he couldn't defend against. Clearly, his True Qi was no match for the opponent's. When that Cold Qi invaded his body, he knew he was in trouble.

The grey-robed elder realized it was bad, but in that fleeting moment, there was nothing he could do. It felt as if the Arctic Chill had sealed his entire body, rendering his True Qi immobile, turning his most formidable attack into the weakest defense.

This was a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Mid Stage, an existence that should be unchallenged, yet he had been utterly powerless. His strongest strike was rendered useless!

With a face full of shock, the grey-robed elder stared at the fat elder and Ding Fan, still unable to comprehend where such dense and terrifying Cold Qi came from.

At this moment, the fat elder, witnessing the scene, was equally stunned. Recalling that instant, it was clear to him that the opponent's powerful strike was frozen upon contact, clearly overwhelmed by the True Qi surging from his own body due to Ding Fan. The force difference was massive, and his attack was as unstoppable as a hot knife through butter!

It was simply exhilarating!

To know the opponent, who took a Medicine Pill comparable to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, was still defeated by his full-strength attack, was astonishing!

The fat elder, full of an indescribable enthusiasm mixed with shock, turned to look at Ding Fan, whose expression remained calm and indifferent as if nothing had happened. This kid was truly incredible!

The fat elder looked at Ding Fan like he was a monster, for Ding Fan had pulled off another miracle. He had a feeling that Ding Fan was becoming increasingly unpredictable, leaving him curious about what other miracles he might create. This had certainly been a gigantic surprise!

At this moment, Ding Fan looked at the fat elder, a calm smile on his face:

"The rest is up to you, senior."

Within Ding Fan's heart, he anticipated that even if the opponent was not a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, they would not fare well against his surprise Arctic Chill attack. Given that this elder was merely at the Nascent Soul Mid Stage, the prognosis was clear.

Obviously, the opponent could not withstand the Arctic Chill. Especially since he had taken a Medicine Pill to temporarily boost his cultivation; the side effects were massive unless a purification pill was available, which was exceedingly rare. Not just an elder from their sect could acquire such a pill.

Even a sect master would rarely have the chance to obtain a purification pill, which could not only negate certain side effects but also enhance cultivation physique.

Such pills were immensely valuable!

Ding Fan reckoned the elder had no access to such a pill, and combined with the fat elder's full-force strike, the grey-robed elder would be as good as dead!

Clearly, Ding Fan knew the opponent was vulnerable to be easily killed by the fat elder, thus not requiring his aid anymore.

Even though they had jointly wounded the enemy, Ding Fan did not remain complacent. Instead, he felt an even stronger desire to enhance his power, being fully aware that his previous attack was merely a fortunate stealth success, not a display of overwhelming strength.

Ding Fan realized he needed strength not only to protect Zhou Ruoran, Gusu Qingwen, and Ye Ningbing but also himself.

The fat elder then slowly approached the grey-robed elder, eyeing him with scorn.

"One who commits too many misdeeds will bring about his own doom!"

He then transformed his palm into a blade, striking towards the opponent's head without hesitation!

Swish!

"No..."

With a sharp wind sound, the grey-robed elder's eyes filled with unwillingness as he watched the fat elder, his cries unspoken before his head was severed!

The disciples of the Wild Wolf Gang were in shock at witnessing this. It all happened too quickly. One moment the grey-robed elder was showing off his power, and the next he was decapitated. This was stunning!

What happened here?

Why did the cultivators from the Dayang Sect remain unscathed, while their own sect's elder was sent into the afterlife!
