"Say it again!"

At this moment, the black-clothed youth beside Wang Feng heard Ding Fan's words and was the first to rudely question him. His expression was fierce, seemingly prepared to start a fight at any time.

Ding Fan saw the black-clothed youth's display, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, but he said nothing, for the bandits on the mountain were already charging down.

Swish, swish, swish...

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed, and dozens of bandits suddenly rushed down the mountain, all holding weapons and roaring towards Ding Fan's group with great ferocity.

Wang Feng and the others saw this scene and couldn't help but panic. Nearly a hundred bandits were rushing in, the middle-aged man leading the charge was even a Spirit Severing Cultivator, and there were five or six other Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators nearby. Such a formation was naturally not something the two of them could handle, and now they finally understood Ding Fan's previous words.

Indeed, it was too late to leave now, Wang Feng and his companion felt a wave of bitterness in their hearts. Facing such a large number of bandits, even if they were Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators, they were only waiting to die. Wang Feng and the black-clothed youth made eye contact, and instantly hid in the corner, clearly planning to detach themselves from Ding Fan's group, as they would not follow Ding Fan to their deaths.

The disciples of the Dayang Sect saw this scene and were momentarily stunned, surprised that the bandits actually took the initiative to charge down the mountain. For a moment, they didn't know what to do, especially because the bandit leader was a Spirit Severing Cultivator, even the elders of Dayang Sect felt a wave of bitterness, realizing that without using their cultivation, they might be able to handle a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator, but facing a Spirit Severing Cultivator, it wouldn't be so easy.

"Unleash your cultivation, show your strongest power, resolve the battle as quickly as possible, and then charge up the mountain!"

Ding Fan couldn't help but shout, hearing his words filled the group's hearts with exuberant excitement—they could finally use their cultivation. They responded in unison.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

"Yes, Sect Master!"

...

As soon as they finished speaking, everyone immediately released their True Qi. They had been feeling pent-up for a long time, and now releasing their True Qi felt incredibly satisfying. Aside from Ding Fan, everyone's cultivation was revealed, and not even the Dayang Sect disciples had any cultivators below the Nascent Soul Stage, with quite a few being Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators.

Seeing this scene, Wang Feng and the others were shocked and overwhelmed with disbelief; they hadn't anticipated that the entire opposing convoy consisted of cultivators, many of whom were just like them, being Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators. In addition to Ding Fan, there were unexpectedly two Spirit Severing Cultivators beside him, and numerous Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. This was simply incredible!

Wang Feng and his companion were already frozen in shock, unable to believe such an unbelievable transformation—ordinary cultivators turning into such formidable opponents in the blink of an eye. Among them were even Spirit Severing Cultivators; it was simply astounding! Wang Feng's heart was filled with disbelief and he couldn't accept such a reality.

The black-clothed youth beside Wang Feng was now drenched in cold sweat, his heart pounding with shock, he hadn't expected the opposing convoy to consist of cultivators, and even included two Spirit Severing Cultivators and numerous Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. Thinking back to what he had said to Ding Fan earlier, he couldn't help but feel fear: Ding Fan's revealed cultivation was clearly Late Nascent Soul Stage, but the black-clothed man understood that the opponent might not be merely a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Given he was the leader, how could his power be weak? Especially since those Spirit Severing Cultivators showed great respect for Ding Fan; hence his cultivation couldn't be lacking. Previously, those people had been hiding their cultivation, and now the youth feared they might still be concealing their true level. He felt a great fear, realizing that had the opponent decided to kill them earlier, it would have been effortless, and they had even boasted shamelessly about being Nascent Soul Stage cultivators—that was utterly laughable!

Not only Wang Feng and his companion were shocked, but the charging bandits were also dumbstruck. What had seemed like ordinary people suddenly turned into powerful cultivators. It was incredibly mind-boggling! The bandit leader, a Spirit Severing Cultivator, saw that two cultivators had suddenly appeared from their group, which seemed incredibly unrealistic!

At this moment, the bandit leader, who was at the Spirit Severing Stage, had a scar on his face that became even more sinister. Obviously, there was no room for maneuvering now, and he could only fight to the death against the opponent. Ding Fan was quite shocked in his heart.

Rumble...

In an instant, the bandit leader, the scar-faced man, took the initiative, wildly swinging the large blade in his hand. A blade-like flame roared towards Ding Fan and the others. However, Ding Fan and the others were all Spirit Severing cultivators; even the slightly weaker ones were all at the Late Nascent Soul Stage. These individuals represented the highest strength of the Dayang Sect, namely the elders and the sect master. Everyone leapt up, and the blade-like flame fell into empty space, crashing onto the ground and creating a huge crater, dust flying everywhere.

At this time, Ding Fan and others dodged the attack from the opponent. They then rushed towards the enemy in response. The sect master had already ordered the battle to be resolved at the fastest speed. Thus, everyone had to give it their all. After all, the Dayang Sect was still in a state of secret relocation, so to avoid revealing too much, a quick fight was necessary.

Boom boom boom...

Each member of Ding Fan's group showcased their unique skills, fiercely striking the numerous bandits, causing dozens of bandits to fall to the ground dead. Although the bandits had nearly a hundred people, aside from the leading Spirit Severing Initial Stage cultivator and five or six Emergence Stage cultivators, the rest of the disciples were Nascent Soul cultivators; some hadn't even reached the Nascent Soul Stage.

Clearly, though the Dayang Sect had only two small teams, they absolutely crushed the opponent in both numbers and quality. The disciples of the Dayang Sect rushed forward like a vast scythe slicing through wheat, killing the bandits wherever they passed without a hint of suspense. Ding Fan and two other Spirit Severing elders directed fierce attacks at the leading scar-faced man, and within moments, the opponent was heavily injured and struggling.

Although Ding Fan and the two Spirit Severing elders were progressing smoothly, it seemed that some Nascent Soul cultivators were moving slowly. Several Nascent Soul Mid Stage elders were still entangled with some of the opponents. Ding Fan noticed this scene and couldn't help but instruct the two Spirit Severing cultivators beside him:

"Go resolve those Emergence Stage bandits and finish everything within three minutes, no more!"

"Yes! Yes!"

The two Spirit Severing cultivators quickly flashed and appeared beside the Dayang Sect elders who were entangled in a stalemate, joining them in attacking the Nascent Soul Mid Stage bandits.

Clearly, these two Spirit Severing cultivators had full confidence in Sect Master Ding Fan. As for Wang Hu, it goes without saying that whatever the big brother says will be accomplished. After all, he had never seen the big brother break his word. Moreover, dealing with Spirit Severing Initial Stage cultivators wasn't a problem for the big brother, nor was dealing with those at the Spirit Severing Middle Stage. The other Spirit Severing cultivator also had full trust in the sect master.

"Arrogant!" The scar-faced bandit leader saw what Ding Fan and the others were doing. Among the three, the cultivation of the youth in the middle was the lowest, but the scar-faced man was puzzled that someone with such low cultivation would be the leader. But why was the person's cultivation so low? Furthermore, at his command, the other two Spirit Severing cultivators who besieged him withdrew, leaving only the youth.

This was simply too arrogant, and moreover, the opponent even claimed to resolve the battle in no more than three minutes. This was too outrageous! The scar-faced man felt furious, directly brandishing his large blade towards Ding Fan with great force. The blade in the scar-faced man's hand was exceptionally heavy, with a bright, striking red mark on the back of the blade.

Clearly, this large blade wasn't an ordinary item, and the scar-faced man wasn't the least bit afraid of the young Ding Fan. Even if Ding Fan was the leader, what did it matter? Maybe he was just some Young Master with no real skill, just relying on some family background. And even if Ding Fan was a Spirit Severing cultivator, the scar-faced man wouldn't fear; after all, this treasured blade in his hand wasn't something to be trifled with.

The scar-faced man's treasured blade was obtained from an auction, where it was the final auction item, attracting many strong cultivators. Even Spirit Severing Late Stage cultivators coveted it, but it was finally taken by a young master from a wealthy family, causing envy among many cultivators. Some powerful figures even set their sights on the young master.

But the scar-faced man was quite lucky to block the young master. At that time, many strong individuals surrounded the young master, clearly aware that many cultivators had their eye on him. So, a few strong figures protected the young master, choosing many hidden safe routes, but they still encountered many strong foes. After a fierce battle, only the young master escaped with the treasured blade.

At that moment, the scar-faced man encountered him, and without much ado, he killed the young master, seized the treasured blade, and directly escaped, feeling extremely fortunate, as if the treasured blade was meant for him. However, his troubles had only just begun. Because as soon as this treasured blade appeared at the auction, it attracted multiple powerful figures. After learning that the scar-faced man had acquired the blade, many strong individuals began a frantic pursuit, determined to acquire it.

Clearly, this wasn't just any treasured blade. Acquiring it significantly enhanced a cultivator's strength. Although the scar-faced man was at the Spirit Severing Initial Stage, he had complete confidence that the blade's combat power enhancement could even give him strength comparable to the Spirit Severing Middle Stage.
