Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 1473 1510: Execution

The girl in black knew that Ding Fan was the Vice City Lord of Dancheng, a position that was indeed quite uncommon, but after all, her godfather was also a City Lord, and apparently, in terms of status, her godfather was not much inferior to Ding Fan, even though Dancheng's level was much higher than Lan City. Nonetheless, her godfather need not be so afraid of Ding Fan. The girl understood that the problem clearly lay with the handsome young man beside Ding Fan.

For a moment, the girl in black couldn't help but frown deeply, clearly unable to comprehend what exactly about the other party made her godfather so fearful.

Then, the girl in black, with some coquettishness, said to Gao De:

"Godfather, you won't abandon my friend, will you?"

"It's not that I don't want to help, it's that I can't. Stay away from people like Tong Xie in the future! We're leaving!"

Gao De, looking at the girl in black, couldn't help but speak very sternly, then he led Fang Zhongwen and some guards away from the inn...

...

"Lord Gao? Lord Gao? Linger? Linger... Don't abandon me..."

At this moment, Tong Xie saw Gao De and the others leave, and he couldn't help but shout anxiously. He understood clearly that Linger and Gao De were his last lifeline. If they left, Ding Fan would certainly kill him. At this moment, Tong Xie's heart was filled with bitterness and fear...

...

Upon seeing the scene of Gao De and the others leaving, everyone was utterly shocked. They clearly did not expect Vice City Lord Gao to leave Tong Xie behind and lead people away, ignoring the issue with Ding Fan and others. For the citizens of Lan City, this was utterly unprecedented. Lan City prohibits fighting.

Now, even with the Vice City Lord arriving, he actually left saying that even he was powerless. For the Vice City Lord of Lan City to claim there's something he can't handle, it's simply unbelievable!

However, it was evident to everyone that the young man beside Ding Fan, the Vice City Lord of Dancheng, was even more formidable than Ding Fan himself. Clearly, people could see that Vice City Lord Gao was intimidated by this young man, and everyone was deeply shocked, not expecting the initially underestimated two young men to turn out to be so formidable!

Even Vice City Lord Gao had to step aside, avoiding confrontation. What immense strength that must require, it was unimaginable. At this moment, the middle-aged man in the inn felt fortunate for not having impulsively sided with Tong Xie. Had he chosen to stand with Tong Xie during the conflict with Ding Fan and others, his situation wouldn't be much better now.

Who could have imagined that just the two young boys, one turned out to be the Vice City Lord of Dancheng and the other an even more mysterious and powerful figure whom even Vice City Lord Gao couldn't handle? It was simply unbelievable!

...

At this moment, Chai Er and others witnessed Gao De leaving, and they were staggered by Long Ren, clearly not expecting him to wield such influence that even Gao De would willingly back down, which was just unbelievable! Chai Er didn't notice anything different about Long Ren along the way, except, like Ding Fan, his cultivation seemed not to have reached the Nascent Soul Stage.

However, at this moment, Chai Er knew that he could make someone like Gao De, a local Vice City Lord of Lan City, evade him. Clearly, his cultivation was not as simple as it seemed and was an expert hermit like Ding Fan. Chai Er's heart was in turmoil at the moment. She never expected Ding Fan to be a Grade Nine Alchemist, then found out he'd easily defeated a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, and it wasn't impossible for Ding Fan to even kill the adversary.

Ultimately, she was most astonished to learn Ding Fan turned out to be the Vice City Lord of Dancheng! That was simply too formidable!

Although Chai Er, like her sister, mostly stayed at home, rarely venturing outside, they knew about the existence of Dancheng. Clearly, it wasn't an ordinary city, but a renowned presence throughout Donglai Continent! Clearly, becoming such a Vice City Lord wasn't easy, yet Ding Fan was exactly that—Vice City Lord of Dancheng! It was astonishingly formidable!

At this moment, Wu Qianwen looked at Ding Fan with evident shame in her eyes, never expecting him to be the Vice City Lord of Dancheng, something unimaginable! She finally understood why her father strongly wanted her to be with him back then; it turned out he wasn't a mere cultivator, but back then she insisted on finding a man with authority and power.

To think he was the Vice City Lord of Dancheng—there weren't many people on Donglai Continent more powerful than him! Unfortunately, she deemed him a poor Loose Cultivator, even looking down on him, and now recalling this, she couldn't help but feel ashamed. She finally realized that gauging a man can't only rely on appearances and doesn't need to focus on finding a man of power and influence.

She had chosen Tong Xie, a decision Wu Qianwen deeply regretted, and if Ding Fan hadn't saved her earlier, she might have been killed by Tong Xie. Thinking about Tong Xie, Wu Qianwen couldn't help but cast a look of contempt and resentment at the now-disheveled Tong Xie.

At this moment, Tong Xie appeared utterly disheveled, the pain in his arms constantly contorting his face into a grimace. Seeing Ding Fan and the others walking toward him now, he couldn't help but feel a profound fear in his heart. He had already anticipated his impending fate, causing cold sweat to continuously break out on his back. At this moment, the elder at the Nascent Soul Late Stage struggled to stand in front of Tong Xie, a resolute look on his face as he stared at Ding Fan and the others approaching, then respectfully said to Tong Xie:

"Young Master, quickly go! I'll hold them off here!"

"Ah, ah... you must hold them off for me!" Tong Xie replied frantically upon hearing the other's words. Then, stumbling awkwardly, he headed toward the inn's exit, though calling it running would be an overstatement as it wasn't much faster than walking. His arms were already crippled, and the intense pain made even a slight neck movement excruciatingly painful. Clearly, running quickly was out of the question.

Ding Fan glanced at the elder ahead of him, at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, and said with some regret:

"You're a good servant, but it's a pity you followed the wrong person!"

Whoosh!

After speaking, Ding Fan immediately flicked his hand, launching a powerful Wind Blade that sharply slashed toward the elder at the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

The elder saw this scene, the opponent's Wind Blade was too fast, and with the elder already severely injured, not even retaining Nascent Soul Stage strength, his pupils suddenly dilated as he watched the Wind Blade's reflection grow larger.

Thud!

With a dull thud, the elder fell to the ground, already dead.

At this point, Tong Xie had only walked a few steps. Hearing the noise, he couldn't help but turn back, clearly seeing that the elder at the Nascent Soul Late Stage was already dead. Tong Xie's body froze instantly, clearly overwhelmed with fear.

Very quickly, Ding Fan walked up to him and, without further ado, directly executed another Wind Blade. At this moment, Tong Xie attempted to flee, but it was futile against Ding Fan's Wind Blade, which severed him at the waist, leaving him dead beyond death...

At this point, Wu Qianwen witnessed the scene, watching as Tong Xie was slain by Ding Fan, feeling her grudge against Tong Xie dissipate. She glanced disapprovingly at Tong Xie's corpse, with no hint of heartache in her heart; he deserved his fate...

The crowd saw this scene, inhaling sharply, clearly shocked. They hadn't expected Ding Fan to execute Tong Xie without a word, clearly without a shred of hesitation, leaving them astounded. After all, the other party was the Young Master of the Tong Family, and just like that, he was slain. The crowd couldn't help but feel a bit intimidated by Ding Fan, as he not only acted decisively but also possessed an extraordinary status, being the Vice City Lord of Dancheng, clearly not comparable to ordinary cultivators.

At this moment, Long Ren glanced at Tong Xie, disdainfully saying:

"Serves him right!"

Then, under the guidance of the innkeeper, Ding Fan and the others entered the inn. Clearly, the innkeeper was exceptionally courteous to Ding Fan and the others, fully aware that they were significant figures whom he couldn't afford to offend. Seizing the opportunity to curry favor, he guided them with unusual enthusiasm, leading them to their respective rooms.

Ding Fan had a room to himself, while Chai Er and Wu Qianwen shared one, followed by Long Ren and Elder Xi each having their own room. Shortly thereafter, Ding Fan entered his room alone and began cultivating. He hadn't had much opportunity to cultivate recently, clearly needing some time to refine and adjust.

In no time, night had completely fallen.

By now, Ding Fan had entered a deep state of cultivation. With each breath, his Divine Vigor unknowingly grew denser. Ding Fan was already at the Fourth Grade divine warrior, equivalent to a Nascent Soul Mid Stage cultivator. Previously, he had refined many Medicine Pills, all of supreme quality, and had taken some. Now, he discovered the medicinal power was still present in his body.

Overjoyed, Ding Fan realized that even with the lingering medicinal power, cultivation would naturally yield twice the result with half the effort. He even began to sense the barrier to the Nascent Soul Late Stage. Ding Fan estimated it wouldn't take much longer to break through again. After advancing past the Nascent Soul Early Stage, his cultivation steadily progressed, showing remarkable results.

Pleased, Ding Fan understood it was due to his solid foundational work. Some cultivators struggled with breakthroughs because of reliance on Medicine Pills, making each advancement difficult, with the next even harder to achieve.

For Ding Fan, however, this wasn't a problem. He had rarely used Medicine Pills, building his foundation bit by bit. Thus, he hadn't expected such ease upon reaching the Emergence Stage, soon becoming a Fourth Grade divine warrior, equivalent to a Nascent Soul Mid Stage cultivator. Furthermore, Ding Fan could feel that he was about to reach the Fifth Grade divine warrior, signifying the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
