Top-tier Unruly Master
Chapter 1181 - 1218: Protection
Boom...
The constant booming sounds kept echoing as one disciple after another from the Dayang Sect fell, with even some elders sacrificing themselves.
The opponent's offensive was too fierce; clearly, even some elders of the Dayang Sect couldn't withstand it, and many elders quickly fell.
At this moment, Ding Fan saw this scene, and couldn't help but feel indignant. He couldn't continue hiding; although his strength was very low compared to those at the Emergence Stage, he had to contribute.
Thinking of this, Ding Fan immediately stepped out of the elders' protective circle and angrily slashed at the disciples of the Wild Wolf Gang.
For a moment, Ding Fan kept on killing several disciples of the Wild Wolf Gang. While initially he could deal with some disciples, soon a large number of opponents rushed forward and surrounded Ding Fan.
Before long, Ding Fan found it difficult to cope. Although he had taken a medicine pill earlier, the number of opponents was overwhelming. Even though some Nascent Soul Period cultivators and many Dayang Sect elders found it hard to withstand the attacks from the Wild Wolf Gang disciples. The cultivation of the Wild Wolf Gang's cultivators wasn't very powerful, but they had many Elder-level figures.
Though Ding Fan's side still had some cultivators and elders with good cultivation, their numbers were too few!
"You brat, daring to come out here is seeking death!"
At this moment, the Black-faced Elder saw Ding Fan stepping out, and with a few swift moves amidst several Dayang Sect disciples falling, he arrived directly in front of Ding Fan.
Seeing the opponent, Ding Fan's heart trembled a bit, knowing that the opponent's cultivation was clearly beyond what he could handle.
But at this moment, there was no choice but to brace himself; if it didn't work, Ding Fan had thought of using the movement technique derived from the stele's fist technique to maneuver around the opponent. Self-protection was possible at least for a while.
Boom...
At this moment, the Black-faced Elder kept bombarding Ding Fan, with constant booming sounds.
However, the Black-faced Elder was somewhat surprised that the opponent could easily dodge every one of his attacks. It was quite shocking.
But the Black-faced Elder didn't seem worried, instead, he watched Ding Fan with interest, wondering how long he could keep dodging. When his True Qi became diminished, his day of inevitable death would come.
The Black-faced Elder obviously wanted to thoroughly kill Ding Fan, especially since his son Meng Haotian was still unconscious, life or death unknown; such a feud had to be avenged. The Black-faced Elder had always protected Meng Haotian excessively, even if Meng Haotian had done wrong, he would indulgently cover it up, sometimes even helping Meng Haotian deal with whichever female cultivator he had harassed.
The Black-faced Elder could even handle it for Meng Haotian, offering benefits or directly threatening those female cultivators, obviously relying on his identity as the Great Elder of the sect. Within the sect, probably only He Zenfen paid attention to it, being the second in command with more power than Mang Haotian.
After a while, Ding Fan continued to move swiftly, seeming not to consume True Qi at all, still skillfully dodging the Black-faced Elder.
Watching this scene, the Black-faced Elder couldn't help but feel indignant as well as surprised. Could it be possible for Ding Fan not to use any True Qi? This was simply impossible.
Before long, the Black-faced Elder's patience ran out.
"I've lost interest in playing with you! Go die!"
The Black-faced Elder roared, his momentum instantly increased significantly. Subsequently, he wielded his curved blade, a sudden violent rotation erupted around him, instantly killing two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators from the Dayang Sect!
Then the Black-faced Elder roared again, sending the two spinning curved blades directly toward Ding Fan.
The momentum of the two blades was incredibly intense, making the surrounding air extremely sharp, not something ordinary cultivators could withstand; even getting close would mean death, let alone the blades charging ferociously at Ding Fan.
Seeing this, many disciples of the Dayang Sect felt worried; such an offensive was obviously something Ding Fan, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, couldn't resist. Seeing this, Ding Fan knew that although using fist techniques could ward off some attacks, he'd inevitably suffer significant injuries. But there was no other way at this point.
Boom...
After a muffled sound, smoke billowed in front of Ding Fan, waves of air kept rolling in.
Witnessing this, the crowd was shocked, clearly, the offensive was terrifying.
Ding Fan was taken aback, realizing he hadn't made a move; when the smoke dissipated, He Zenfen suddenly appeared before him, causing Ding Fan's heart to swell with emotion.
"You're not qualified to harm my disciple!"
He Zenfen said coldly, staring at the Black-faced Elder with a somber expression.
Upon hearing these words, the Black-faced Elder was taken aback, realizing the opponent, who was previously heavily injured, could now defend against his attack. The Black-faced Elder had clearly overestimated his prowess or underestimated the strength of a Spirit Severing Late Stage cultivator.
One should know, a dying camel is still larger than a horse!
With a mocking smile, He Zenfen flicked his longsword sharply!
Swoosh!
Ah...
A miserable scream resounded, and the black-faced Elder had already met his demise. Yet, his face was still full of shock. He never imagined that a Spirit Severing cultivator, though injured, could actually kill him in a single strike.
"This is the fate that a traitor deserves!"
He Zenfen spoke with deep indignation. To this kind of traitor, He Zenfen seemed to feel that killing him in just one blow was too lenient!
The disciples of Dayang Sect who witnessed this scene were undoubtedly heartened. To this kind of traitor, they felt he deserved to be pulled apart by horses. After all, if it weren't for that traitor, how could the Sect's Formation have vanished? They knew the Sect's Formation was quite potent, and with it, the Wild Wolf Gang cultivators would never be able to act so arrogantly. To think of destroying the Dayang Sect was simply impossible!
The black-faced Elder was the culprit, and it was obviously a joyous occasion for the Sect Master to slay such a traitor.
Many disciples of the Wild Wolf Gang were shocked by what they saw of He Zenfen. They never thought a late Emergence Stage expert could be slain with just one sword strike.
Even though the opponent was a late Spirit Severing cultivator, it was still incredibly shocking to most cultivators.
"Attack Dayang Sect with full force and ensure they are destroyed today!"
At this point, Elder Zhang Qiang, a short man, saw what He Zenfen had done, and with a vicious look, spoke. With a few gestures, several cultivators of Dayang Sect were instantly killed.
The disciples of Dayang Sect who witnessed this were filled with rage, as the opponent's actions were utterly ruthless and merciless.
Yet, the few remaining disciples of Dayang Sect, although filled with anger, had no other options. They understood that the opponents were too numerous, and the Sect Master had already been injured, clearly not a match for several opposing Sect Masters.
In no time, half of the Dayang Sect cultivators had fallen. Witnessing this scene, He Zenfen couldn't help but feel furious, his heart filled with intense sadness.
After several hundred years of the Dayang Sect's legacy, it had crumbled in his hands today. How could he face his ancestors...
"Ding Fan, we have to go!"
He Zenfen immediately moved to Ding Fan's side, speaking to him. Clearly, his full attention was on Ding Fan. If he could lead Ding Fan out at this moment, it would already be considered a victory.
"Sect Master, you go first, we'll cover you."
The few Elders beside Ding Fan spoke decisively to He Zenfen and Ding Fan.
Hearing their words, Ding Fan was somewhat moved. While he didn't want to leave just like this, he had no choice. Continuing to fight to the death here would not change the outcome, given the overwhelming number of opponents which was clearly beyond what Dayang Sect could withstand.
Subsequently, Ding Fan followed closely by He Zhengfeng's side, constantly battling their way towards an exit on the plains.
The cunning-faced Zhang Qiang and others noticed He Zenfen's movements and would not allow them to succeed easily. Zhang Qiang quickly led several other Sect Masters to block He Zhengfeng.
"Trying to escape? It's not that easy!"
Swish, swish!
Zhang Qiang barked fiercely, following up with punches aimed at He Zenfen.
Seeing this, He Zenfen felt furious and immediately slashed his longsword with fierce attacks towards the opposing Elders. However, compared to his previous level, he was lacking.
These Elders obviously noticed this issue, their faces showing pride, knowing that due to his injuries, He Zenfen was no longer as capable.
Although the Elders thought with malice, they knew they couldn't easily kill the opponent, but stalling him was absolutely possible. The remaining disciples needed only a while longer to completely wipe out the remaining Dayang Sect cultivators. By then, with the addition of disciples and Elders to assist, they were confident of thoroughly killing He Zenfen.
In no time, He Zenfen was entangled with the opponents, embroiled in a fierce confrontation. He Zenfen had already realized the opponent's scheme: to stall him and diminish his chance of escape further.
Ding Fan, staying at the rear, found himself helpless in the face of the battle among Spirit Severing experts. Clearly, such combat wasn't something a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator like him could partake in.
Some Dayang Sect Elders noticed He Zenfen's peril and immediately rushed to assist him, ready to sacrifice themselves to help the Sect Master and Ding Fan escape.
A Dayang Sect Elder quickly arrived at He Zenfen's side.
"Sect Master, you go first."
This Elder shouted to He Zenfen and the others, simultaneously wielding a long spear and engaging the opposing Elders.
He Zenfen frowned slightly upon seeing the Elder's demeanor, knowing full well the Elder's capabilities, which weren't a match for the opposing Elders.
But time was not on their side, hesitating any longer would mean missing the opportunity to break through. He himself dying at Dayang Sect meant little, but Ding Fan must not perish!
