Chapter 1098: Chapter 1098

At the forefront of the beast tide were a few Fifth Grade Horned Leopards. At this moment, the leopards' faces were ferocious, and the horn on their heads gleamed brilliantly, extremely sharp. Even a thick metal plate would be no match and would become vulnerable if struck by it. It must be understood that the power of such Yuan Beasts is exceedingly strong.

And those are Fifth Grade Yuan Beasts. It is already incredibly rare for Yuan Beasts to reach this level of cultivation, and the crystal core of such a Yuan Beast is definitely considered a treasure. Ordinary cultivators simply have no way of obtaining it. Encountering such a Yuan Beast, being able to escape with one's life is already lucky, let alone thinking of killing the beast to obtain its crystal core, which is purely wishful thinking!

The power of Yuan Beasts inherently exceeds that of human cultivators. A Fifth Grade Yuan Beast is equivalent to the cultivation of a Late Nascent Soul Cultivator. However, how many Late Nascent Soul Cultivators could stand against a Fifth Grade Yuan Beast? Even Ding Fan can handle one or two at most, but right now, with as many as five or six Fifth Grade Yuan Beasts, that's something Ding Fan can't deal with.

At this time, as the Yuan Beasts were about to catch up, He Qianyao's heart was already in a state of extreme panic. Could it be that they still can't escape the fate of being devoured by the Yuan Beasts?

Just as the Yuan Beasts were about to catch up to the two, He Qianyao suddenly let out a scream.

Then she felt her body lighten as if propelled by a powerful force over a hundred meters.

He Qianyao fixed her gaze and discovered that it was actually Ding Fan who had pushed her. At this moment, Ding Fan had already fallen behind her by a distance and was fighting fiercely with the Yuan Beasts.

"Run towards the cave ahead, I'll be right behind!"

Ding Fan shouted to He Qianyao, then a series of Wind Blades flew from his hands, and Ding Fan had already exerted all his True Qi.

In a moment, not a single Yuan Beast approached Ding Fan.

Seeing this scene, He Qianyao was shocked! How could this be possible?

In such a perilous situation just now, the young man who saved her twice remained so calm, even pushing her to a relatively safe place first. Isn't it too calm amidst chaos?!

Moreover, as He Qianyao witnessed this scene, she discovered that not a single Yuan Beast could approach Ding Fan. Any Yuan Beast charging towards him was gutted and blasted away by his Wind Blades!

There was no trace of True Qi fluctuation on him, making it impossible to assess his cultivation, yet his strength was indeed formidable! Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

But this is a beast tide!

He Qianyao, with a look of shock, heard Ding Fan's words, looked forward, and released her Divine Sense, yet she still couldn't find any cave. In her urgency, she had no time to think more and ran in the direction Ding Fan had indicated earlier.

Right now, Ding Fan was about to be surrounded by Yuan Beasts, feeling quite tense in his heart. Unlike He Qianyao, who seemed relaxed, he was aware this was a beast tide. Not to mention a Late Nascent Soul Cultivator like him, even an Emergence Stage Cultivator would avoid its sharp edge!

Now, Ding Fan had only one thought in mind: to hold back the Yuan Beasts for a while until the girl reached safety, then quickly make his escape! He didn't want to stay in this place for even a second longer!

In the span of a few breaths, Ding Fan's Divine Sense confirmed that the girl had already run a distance, and he immediately threw the Sky-Rending Pearl into the beast herd, while also lighting his body with True Qi, swiftly retreating.

The beast herd immediately erupted into dust and smoke, with a heavy smell of blood permeating the air. At this moment, who knows how many Yuan Beasts of various sizes were blown into pieces.

In an instant, the Yuan Beasts quieted considerably, their faces appearing quite shocked, not expecting a mere human to launch such a terrifying attack. For a moment, the numerous Yuan Beasts hesitated, standing still.

The Sky-Rending Pearl is equivalent to the strongest strike of a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator, capable of blasting even a Fifth Grade Yuan Beast into fragments.

Though the power of the Sky-Rending Pearl is remarkable, Ding Fan knew that facing the multitude of agitated beast tides was somewhat like trying to douse a cart on fire with a cup of water.

Ding Fan seized the opportunity, quickly chasing after He Qianyao, while channeling all his True Qi into his legs, making him run as if there were wind under his feet, swirling sand and rocks, with speed far surpassing when he was pulling He Qianyao earlier!

When carrying He Qianyao, Ding Fan couldn't exert his full strength. Although the beast tide is terrifying now, Ding Fan's ability to protect himself was not in question; however, bringing along He Qianyao was evidently a bit constrained.

At this moment, He Qianyao was running desperately forward, following the direction Ding Fan had indicated. After running for some time, she indeed discovered a mountain cave, and she couldn't help but feel greatly impressed by Ding Fan, realizing that when he said there was a cave here, she hadn't been able to detect it with her Divine Sense.

At that time, there was some doubt, but now she didn't expect that there really was a cave here.

However, standing near the cave, He Qianyao stopped because she felt the cave was a bit peculiar.

First of all, the fact that she couldn't detect this cave with her Divine Sense previously clearly indicates the presence of something isolating Divine Sense. Moreover, the appearance of the cave is quite unusual.

The cave entrance is nearly two meters tall, and the entrance is quite spacious. But around it, there's a lot of ice clinging to the edges. One must know that the weather is not particularly cold right now, and it's far from the time for snow. Everything is lush and green elsewhere, so it's strange that there's ice here.

Furthermore, when He Qianyao tried detecting inside the cave with her Divine Sense, she found that she couldn't perceive the interior at all—this was indeed a rare occurrence.

For a moment, He Qianyao was unsure whether to enter, after all, she was told to run into the cave to escape the Beast Tide. It's truly a good way to avoid it, but this cave is too uncanny.

At that moment, Ding Fan's figure appeared within He Qianyao's sight. Watching Ding Fan sprinting at an extremely fast speed, all she could see was a blur rapidly approaching her, and in just a few blinks, Ding Fan was right in front of her.

Seeing this scene, He Qianyao was very grateful to him, and even a bit guilty.

Although her cultivation level was lower, she could still see that if it weren't for her, he wouldn't need to stay and hold off the Beast Tide. With such speed, he clearly had the ability to protect himself. To put it plainly, she was dragging him down.

"Let's go, get inside!"

Ding Fan urgently said to the woman.

Ding Fan knew that even with his speed, it wouldn't take long for the Yuan Beasts to arrive. Now that they had reached the cave, he could rely on his cultivation to hold them off for a while. The Yuan Beasts wouldn't be able to do much to him in a short time.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw He Qianyao standing there seemingly lost in thought, without taking any action. He pulled her along again and directly entered the cave.

As they entered the cave, waves of Cold Qi enveloped the two of them. He Qianyao couldn't help but be stunned.

They had actually entered this strange cave!

The surrounding cold made He Qianyao extremely tense. Though she planned to thank Ding Fan, she couldn't manage to say anything at this moment.

Inside the cave, the interior was pitch black, and even though He Qianyao extended her Divine Sense, she couldn't perceive anything inside.

But Ding Fan didn't have time to hesitate; a large group of Yuan Beasts was chasing them from behind. As a result, he pulled her along as they quickly ran into the dark cave.

Upon entering, Ding Fan felt the cave was unusual, and that unless one's Divine Sense was extraordinarily strong, it would be impossible to even find the cave or to see inside it. Fortunately, this didn't affect Ding Fan.

He continued to lead He Qianyao deeper into the cave.

Looking at Ding Fan striding swiftly, traversing the cave smoothly without any hindrance, even small pitfalls were easily avoided under his guidance, He Qianyao was astounded.

The cave was pitch black for her, the path unknown. She had hesitated for a long time just to decide whether to enter or not, let alone walk so fast.

Yet, this young man who saved her twice now moved so easily, as if he knew the cave's darkness like the back of his hand.

Obviously, she felt that Divine Sense was isolated here, yet how did he manage this? Was it not a bit too unbelievable?

For Ding Fan, it was indeed as He Qianyao thought; although there was something isolating Divine Sense here, his own Divine Sense was far from what ordinary people could match. Ever since he obtained that Magic Artifact last time, his Divine Sense had become exceptionally powerful on Earth.

Under Ding Fan's lead, it didn't take long for them to reach a dead end, with an earthen wall blocking them.

At this point, Ding Fan stopped, released True Qi, and prepared for the impending battle with the Yuan Beasts that would follow them in. He proactively stood in front of He Qianyao, shielding her behind him.

Seeing this, He Qianyao was touched, and as she gazed at his imposing back, an indescribable feeling of youthful affection stirred in her heart.

Why was it that every time she encountered danger, it was always him that she ran into? Was this what they called fate?

Standing behind Ding Fan, He Qianyao suddenly felt a haven of safety. It seemed that as long as this man was there, nothing would happen to her.

In the pitch-black cave, though she couldn't see his face, she could hear his strong heartbeat and breathing. To He Qianyao, his heartbeat and breathing were so masculine, imposing, and for her, he was undoubtedly the one she could entrust herself to.

A feeling of mixed emotions flooded He Qianyao's heart. She occasionally moved behind Ding Fan and, unwittingly, held his hand, leaning against his back…

If she were to die, dying with such a person, she had no regrets.
