Top-tier Unruly Master
Chapter 1179 - 1216: Protecting Ding Fan
He Zenfen saw this scene, and couldn't help but feel extremely sorrowful. Clearly, the fat Elder had done a lot for the Sect. Such a veteran Elder died like this, making He Zenfen feel very indignant and heartbroken.
At this moment, the disciples of the Wild Wolf Gang saw this scene and couldn't help but show a trace of smugness on their faces, seeing such a heavyweight Elder being killed made them feel very triumphant. Killing such an Elder, it was evident that the Dayang Sect would no longer exist!
The black-faced Elder looked at the already deceased fat Elder with a very indifferent expression. In his heart, killing such an Elder from the other side seemed to offer no capital for happiness, considering that he was at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, and the kill was accomplished together with the bald Elder.
Moreover, the fat Elder was already severely injured at that time, with hardly any capability to resist.
Subsequently, the sinister intent on the black-faced Elder's face became even heavier. Obviously, the death of the fat Elder was not very important to him. What he most wanted was another person's death–Ding Fan's.
"Heh, now it's your turn!"
The black-faced Elder seemed to have no time for pause, revealing his deep hatred for Ding Fan. Clearly, he wanted Ding Fan dead as soon as possible.
Ding Fan witnessed this scene, and couldn't help but feel furious at the black-faced Elder. He wished he could tear the black-faced Elder apart, but Ding Fan knew he didn't have that power. As he looked at the other side, he was resolute, knowing that killing him wouldn't be an easy task!
Just as the black-faced Elder was about to make his move, most of the Dayang Sect's Elders rushed to Ding Fan's side, disregarding everything else.
For these Elders, it was apparent they were still immersed in the sorrow of the fat Elder's passing. They also deeply understood the fat Elder's dying wish, which was for Ding Fan to live on and avenge Dayang Sect. Such a wish was evidently not just the fat Elder's own desire.
At this moment, many Elders thought the same in their hearts. They had seen Ding Fan's talent multiple times, and clearly, Ding Fan was the most outstanding disciple the Dayang Sect had seen in a century, and the most gifted. Now, Ding Fan had become the Sect Master's closed-door disciple, an identity of great importance to the Sect.
Many Elders believed Ding Fan would avenge the Dayang Sect someday, because they had confidence in Ding Fan's ability.
Furthermore, the Elders who rushed to Ding Fan were also seeking revenge for the fat Elder. Clearly, they were very close to the fat Elder in life, and seeing the fat Elder being slain filled them with deep sorrow.
At this moment, Ding Fan could see that many Elders bore injuries, large or small. Evidently, many Elders were injured during the previous battle, and their hasty retreat to Ding Fan could also cause certain injuries.
Seeing this scene, Ding Fan couldn't help but feel deeply touched.
At this moment, it seemed all the hope of the Dayang Sect had fallen on Ding Fan. Ding Fan could tell that even if all the Dayang Sect's Elders were sacrificed today, they would ensure his safety.
Warmth surged through Ding Fan's heart, and he quickly sat cross-legged to heal his injuries. Clearly, he must survive!
"Since you old geezers want to die together, we will fulfill your wish!"
At this moment, the black-faced Elder looked at the numerous Dayang Sect Elders before him and couldn't help but let out a cold smile. He then disdainfully addressed the opposing side.
"Heh... after your death, we'll save the effort of fire. Gathered together, one fire could take care of all of you!"
"If you kneel now and slash your own throats, we might consider leaving your corpses intact!"
"No need to waste words with these old things, just slaughter them!"
"..."
...
At that moment, many Elders from the Wild Wolf Gang also gathered at the black-faced Elder's side, looking disdainfully at Ding Fan's group, and discussing wantonly.
Seeing this, many disciples of the Wild Wolf Gang were full of smugness. Evidently, the Wild Wolf Gang's Elders outnumbered those of the Dayang Sect, and several of the Dayang Sect's Elders were clearly injured and had little combat capability left.
From the Wild Wolf Gang disciples' perspective, it was obvious that the main battlefields across the plain were the Elders' side and the Sect Master's side. As long as one of these battlefields achieved victory, the annihilation plan against the Dayang Sect would be fully realized.
By then, the Dayang Sect would disappear from the world entirely, and their Sect would evidently become the number one Sect in the northeastern region of the Donglai Continent.
At this time, He Zenfen saw the situation in the Elders' Area, his eyes fixed as he swiftly moved over to the Elders' side. Obviously, He Zenfen intended to fight desperately against them. Clearly, he understood that relying solely on the Elders might not guarantee Ding Fan's safety.
He felt he must go over too, as an added layer of protection.
He Zenfen also understood that if the Elders' side were to fail and those Wild Wolf Gang Elders came to attack him, he might not be able to protect Ding Fan. By then, the Dayang Sect would have no outstanding successors, which was not something He Zenfen wanted to see.
Although the Dayang Sect was now on the brink of destruction, He Zenfen knew that as long as there were people alive, there would be a chance for resurgence. Clearly, surviving and leaving was not an option for him. Those old guys would naturally not let him go. The only hope for the Dayang Sect lay in Ding Fan.
Clearly, Ding Fan was capable, and He Zenfen believed that Ding Fan's strength was only a matter of time. At this moment, he felt some regret, knowing that although Ding Fan had become his closed-door disciple, he hadn't taught Ding Fan for a single day, and he also knew about the unfair treatment Ding Fan had suffered in the Sect before.
Thinking of these things, He Zhenfeng couldn't help but sigh. Is this the omen that Heaven intends to wipe out the Dayang Sect?
At this moment, the other sect masters noticed He Zhenfeng had already moved over there, and for a moment, many of the sect masters also gathered at the elder's side. Obviously, for them, the one they must deal with is naturally He Zhenfeng. Otherwise, if they don't focus on He Zhenfeng, the annihilation plan cannot be smoothly completed this time.
Clearly, He Zhenfeng's strength still posed a significant headache for these sect masters.
After several intense battles, He Zhenfeng hadn't suffered much injury, but at this moment, among themselves, two of the four sect masters had already sustained considerable injuries.
They didn't expect that four against one could still end up at a disadvantage. This is truly unbelievable!
At the same time, they understood the disparity between the Spirit Severing Late Stage and the Mid Stage. It's an entirely different class. They never thought that even after a long time of four against one, they would still be at a disadvantage. It's truly shocking!
But they didn't have too much to worry about at this time. These sect masters had already planned. Even if He Zhenfeng was formidable, it was impossible for him to oppose four sects. By the time several elders of the Wild Wolf Gang came over to support after victory, plus so many disciples, even though the disciples were merely like cannon fodder, their momentum could still impact the opponent to some extent.
Clearly, this scene was what the sect masters had been waiting for. Although there were some discrepancies from their ideal, since the opponent also had several elders appearing, it was obvious that many elders on the Dayang Sect's side had been severely injured, making them merely like cannon fodder for these sect masters and elders!
"He Zhenfeng, it's still not too late to surrender now. I advise you not to persist in your mistakes!"
At this time, the short Elder Zhang Qiang from the Wild Wolf Gang said to He Zhenfeng with a face full of disdain and a somewhat mocking tone.
Obviously, in Zhang Qiang's heart, there was a lot of pride. The disparity between both sides was quite significant now, and the outcome was already very clear.
Just in terms of numbers, the Wild Wolf Gang had more than twice the number of the Dayang Sect, and many of the cultivators surrounding the plains had almost exterminated most of the Dayang Sect disciples, leaving only some remnants struggling desperately.
Clearly, the Dayang Sect was thoroughly done for by now!
At this moment, He Zhenfeng's face was full of determination; though he saw the situation, he was very clear about it in his heart. He never thought the Dayang Sect would meet this day at his hands.
With a few shades of desolation in his heart, He Zhenfeng then became fiercely steadfast.
"If you want to destroy my Dayang Sect, you'll have to pay a heavy price!"
At this moment, He Zhenfeng said with a cold, ruthless expression.
Clearly, these words meant he had made up his mind for a desperate, all-out fight; after he spoke, his momentum sharply rose, and some Wild Wolf Gang disciples around felt an extremely cold murderous intent, causing them to shiver involuntarily.
Many elders of the Wild Wolf Gang felt apprehensive about this; facing such an existence with Spirit Severing Late Stage cultivation was not something a usual presence could contend with.
However, observing He Zhenfeng's movements, the other sect masters immediately prepared to fight desperately, and the momentum around the four elders also became extremely sharp.
For a moment, the spirit of the Wild Wolf Gang was somewhat restored.
"Heh, is it really worth it for you to fight so desperately for the Wild Wolf Gang, you lackeys?"
At this moment, He Zhenfeng mockingly looked at the several elders on the opposing side with great disdain, a contemptuous smile on his face.
"A lackey is just a lackey! The fate of lackeys generally isn't a good one!"
"What kind of end does a lackey make? It's selling life for the master and then getting killed, right? Haha..."
"Haha..."
...
For a while, some elders on the Dayang Sect's side heard He Zhenfeng's words and couldn't help but look at the Wild Wolf Gang side with great disdain, echoing his words.
However, clearly, the immense cursing from Dayang Sect's side carried a hint of desolation.
At this moment, a few elders on the Wild Wolf Gang's side were filled with indignation. Evidently, the opponent's words struck a nerve. Clearly, these sect masters had come this far for the Wild Wolf Gang, yet the Wild Wolf Gang's sect master had not even shown his face.
But thinking about some benefits for themselves, they endured. Although those minor benefits were only for their personal interests, they were meaningless to their sects, but they willingly accepted it. For power, even if it meant being someone's minion, what did it matter?
"Even without our alliance leader acting, do you think you few old things can make any waves?"
Evidently, upon hearing the other party's words, it was a gesture of contempt.
