Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 1496 1533: Getting Serious

At this moment, Chai Er watched the battle between Ding Fan and the Spirit Severing Elder. Her heart was filled with astonishment as she realized that Ding Fan's strength seemed to be comparable to, if not surpassing, that of a Spirit Severing Elder. This was practically unheard of and unseen in the Cultivation World.

For a young cultivator like Chai Er, the presence of a Spirit Severing Cultivator was utterly terrifying. Not to mention fighting against them; even just escaping from the hands of a Spirit Severing Cultivator was an impressive feat, enough for that cultivator to boast for a lifetime.

Chai Er knew that Ding Fan was of similar age to her, yet he accomplished what young cultivators dared not even dream of. Ding Fan was not only a Grade Nine Alchemist, but his cultivation level was able to contend with the Spirit Severing Elder, and even hold an advantage. This was simply incredible!

"Ding Fan, be careful..."

Chai Er looked at Ding Fan's back, still not completely relieved by the previous events. With a hint of shock on her face, she muttered to herself. Although Chai Er saw Ding Fan temporarily gaining the upper hand, she was still very worried about him, since he was facing a Spirit Severing Cultivator.

At this moment, Wu Qianwen was filled with guilt. She understood that if it weren't for her issues with Tong Xie, Ding Fan wouldn't have gotten involved with the sworn daughter of Lan City's Vice City Lord, and this scene wouldn't be happening. Wu Qianwen also looked at Ding Fan's back with worry.

She really wanted to help Ding Fan, but her cultivation and strength were far inferior. Ding Fan hardly saved her, and even got injured on the shoulder by the elder's sword. If she went up and disrupted Ding Fan further, she surely shouldn't do that.

"Chai Er, quickly find Lan City's soldiers. Ding Fan is Dancheng's Vice City Lord, and Lan City's City Lord Mansion will never condone this woman attacking Ding Fan!"

Wu Qianwen suddenly thought of this, and directly said to Chai Er. At this moment, they were in a deserted, remote alley in Lan City. Wu Qianwen guessed that though the young girl was the sworn daughter of Lan City's Vice City Lord, she wanted to drag her and her sister here to deal with Ding Fan, obviously not wanting Lan City's soldiers to find out.

So Wu Qianwen boldly speculated that this girl's actions were purely personal. After all, Ding Fan was not only Dancheng's Vice City Lord, but also held an illustrious position in Lan City. Even hosting a banquet by Lan City's City Lord to welcome him was completely normal.

There's no way anyone would dare attack Ding Fan because he represents not just himself, but the entire Dancheng! Dancheng is one of the few Five Star cities on the Donglai Continent, and it's filled with countless alchemists, so one can imagine how substantial its wealth is.

Not to mention, Lan City wouldn't dare offend Dancheng; even large sects wouldn't lightly offend Dancheng because it's not just wealthy, but also a cradle for alchemists, with many sects choosing Dancheng to find good alchemists.

Thus, Dancheng's network of connections is unmatched by any ordinary sect, with countless large sects forming alliances with Dancheng.

As Ding Fan is Dancheng's Vice City Lord, Lan City's City Lord wouldn't be foolish enough to offend Ding Fan. Moreover, Wu Qianwen reasoned that if Lan City's City Lord Mansion truly sent this girl to kill Ding Fan, the girl wouldn't go to such lengths to bring him here before taking action.

So, Wu Qianwen boldly judged that this whole scenario was a personal vendetta by the girl. If Lan City's City Lord knew about this, they would certainly stop it. Despite her being the Vice City Lord's sworn daughter, they wouldn't just allow the Spirit Severing Elder to attack Ding Fan.

"Sister, but that girl is the sworn daughter of the Vice City Lord of Lan City. Will finding Lan City's soldiers really help?"

Chai Er quickly responded to her sister's words. She knew that time was tight as Ding Fan and the elder continued to battle, but she voiced her doubts. She worried that if they didn't help Ding Fan and instead harmed him, they would just be counterproductive.

"Don't worry, Lan City's soldiers will surely stop them."

Wu Qianwen reassured her sister with a firm gaze.

"Alright!"

Seeing her sister's serious expression, Chai Er nodded heavily, agreed, and turned to jog out of the alley.

At that moment, the girl Linger saw Chai Er running out, naturally missing the conversation between Chai Er and her sister. Clearly, she didn't pay attention to Chai Er either, as her biggest enemy was Ding Fan. As for the two girls, they were just bargaining chips used to lure Ding Fan here; evidently, Chai Er was no longer important to the girl...

At this point, the girl's attention was focused on the battle between Ding Fan and the Spirit Severing Elder. She couldn't believe that someone so young could defeat a Spirit Severing Cultivator. Although Ding Fan's fists occasionally struck the elder, seemingly holding a slight upper hand, the girl's eyes were filled with malice, unwilling to believe that Ding Fan could defeat the elder.

After all, though the elder had been hit a few times, he didn't seem seriously hurt.

The Spirit Severing Elder kept retreating. His hands, like two doors, did his best to defend against Ding Fan's aggressive punches. What frustrated the elder was that Ding Fan's fist technique was too bizarre; he could only block two out of every three punches.

Although the elder was a Spirit Severing Cultivator with abundant True Qi to shield against Ding Fan's punches, the opponent's fist technique was too strange. He couldn't predict where the next punch would land. For a time, the elder's clothes appeared ragged, and he had sustained some internal injuries, albeit minor. Yet, clearly, he was completely suppressed by the opponent.

"Very good, you are the most bull-headed young man I have ever seen, but unfortunately, you are still young and impulsive. A cultivator at the Spirit Severing stage is definitely not someone you can handle!"

The Elder suddenly retreated, putting some distance between him and Ding Fan, looking very serious and angrily said. The anger in the Spirit Severing Elder's heart had been successfully ignited by Ding Fan. The Elder's drooping eyelids could not help but straighten, his eyes glared, and his face was filled with unmistakable fury.

Ding Fan's lips curled up slightly, showing no regard for the Elder's words, whether or not he can handle it is not for the other to decide!

Boom boom boom!

Ding Fan executed the "Mortal Fist" so swiftly that each punch seemed to carry intangible air flames, dashing at the Elder like a lightning bolt, catching anyone unawares, his entire aura was terrifying!

The Elder, upon seeing this scene from Ding Fan, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly a round flying dagger appeared in his hand, composed of three sets of blades forming a sharp circle. As Ding Fan charged toward him, he ruthlessly hurled the round flying dagger at Ding Fan.

Whoosh!

The round flying dagger spun wildly in an arc toward Ding Fan, cutting through the air as it went.

Upon seeing this, Ding Fan stopped in his tracks, his figure flashed as he naturally sought to evade the attack. However, despite his efforts, Ding Fan could not escape the round blade disc thrown by the opponent.

"There is a formation within it!"

Ding Fan naturally saw the mystery of this round blade disc and couldn't help but admire the tactics of the Spirit Severing Elder. Clearly, such a round blade disc with an embedded formation is rare, and Ding Fan could tell that the adversary's cultivation in this round blade disc had reached a certain level of proficiency.

It was evident that the formation within the blade disc was mastered skillfully, and for a moment, Ding Fan could not evade the opponent's attack.

Wu Qianwen, seeing this scene, felt extremely tense. It was clear she had not expected the opponent's attack to be so bizarre, and for a moment, Big Brother Ding Fan found himself unable to avoid the attack, making Wu Qianwen exceedingly worried for Ding Fan. Additionally, she became more certain that the Spirit Severing Elder was not easy to deal with, and evidently, it would not be easy for Big Brother Ding Fan to defeat this Spirit Severing Elder.

Wu Qianwen naturally heard the words previously spoken by the Spirit Severing Elder and could tell he was now taking things seriously.

What Big Brother Ding Fan faces next is likely to be discouraging...

What Wu Qianwen didn't know was that if the Spirit Severing Elder had not previously been serious with Ding Fan, then Ding Fan certainly hadn't been either. Up to now, Ding Fan was still barehanded, even when facing the Elder's Magic Artifact, he continued to evade it using just his Fist Technique.

"Golden Dragon Emergence!"

Ding Fan continually maneuvered around the round blade disc, and before long, seized an opportunity to unleash a move, Golden Dragon Emergence, striking at the opponent's round blade disc. Ding Fan knew that the opponent's Magic Artifact was not an ordinary item, and clearly, relying solely on basic Fist Techniques would not be enough to destroy it.

Boom...

A series of muffled booms accompanied by the sound of a dragon's roar, as a tangible Golden Dragon seemed to surge from Ding Fan's fist, roaring towards the round blade disc!

Ding Fan's attack accurately hit the center of the disc, with a dragon-like force driving into it. For a moment, the disc was fixed in mid-air by Ding Fan's attack, spinning desperately. The blade disc was not an ordinary Magic Artifact as it contained a certain formation within it.

Additionally, since it belonged to a Spirit Severing Elder, the Magic Artifact evidently had a high degree of fusion with the Elder, and even possessed a faint trace of consciousness, albeit an extremely weak one.

At this moment, the disc was furiously spinning, evidently trying to break through Ding Fan's attack, but the relentless dragon-like force from Ding Fan's punch was like a tangible fortress. No matter how the disc spun, it couldn't break free from its restraints, and before long, at a speed visible to the naked eye, the spinning of the disc slowed down until Ding Fan's punch sent it flying away!

Buzz...

A buzzing and humming sound echoed as the disc vibrated in mid-air. By now, the disc had lost its previous grandeur, tumbling away like a kite with a broken string...

The Spirit Severing Elder, seeing this scene, felt a wave of shock in his heart. He then clasped his hands together, and the disc, which had been tumbling through the air, vanished and reappeared above the Elder's clasped hands, spinning horizontally.
