Chapter 285: Chapter 285
Ding Fan was already struggling to hang on, surrounded by four Human Pinnacle Warriors, yet within ten minutes, he remained undefeated.
By this time, Ye Ningqing watching from the side had already been stunned.
It must be known that each of the four people besieging Ding Fan was a presence at the Human Level Peak. It's worth noting that even among the Imperial Guards of groups three, five, six, and seven, only Elder Shen was one.
Yet these four, comparable to the leaders of groups three, five, six, and seven, had surrounded Ding Fan for ten minutes without being able to kill him. This was simply too unimaginable.
Even more incredible was that under the attack of the four experts, Ding Fan was not just defending; he frequently struck back during gaps in their offense.
Ding Fan alone was matching four strong opponents equally.
Ye Ningqing knew Ding Fan was strong back when she was in Changling, but she had never imagined that Ding Fan could be so formidable. Now she did not doubt at all that Ding Fan was an Earth Level Expert. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁
An Earth Level Expert just over twenty years old... just thinking about it made Ye Ningqing's neck feel cold.
What is a shockingly absolute genius? Ding Fan is one!
The woman in black furrowed her brows tightly. Although she had never underestimated Ding Fan from the beginning, it was only now that she realized it.
Even though she thought she hadn't underestimated him, she still had underestimated Ding Fan.
Considering the strength that Ding Fan had exhibited, the woman in black felt a sense of horror. If it were not for her seasoned experience, she would have been nearly killed by Ding Fan several times already.
The four of them surrounding Ding Fan should have had a complete advantage, but by now, each of them had sustained injuries to varying degrees.
In a certain sense, they had already lost.
It could be said that none of them, if singled out, would definitely be unable to contend with Ding Fan.
At this time, the woman in black was sighing inwardly, astonished that such a monstrous being could exist in this world... A freak indeed!
Although Ding Fan appeared calm on the surface, he did not dare to be careless for even a moment; he was waiting for a chance, a chance to turn the tables.
Such life-and-death struggles had been experienced countless times by Ding Fan in the Cultivation World. He understood that the more critical the moment of life and death, the more one needed to remain calm and composed. One must not be impatient.
Ding Fan still had a trump card, which was the Wind Blade!
However, this trump card was not something Ding Fan intended to use until the very last moment, not unless necessary, as once he used it, he would have to kill the opponent directly!
Puff… Ding Fan was hit again without fully evading, his shoulder struck and blood gushing out.
"Brothers, he's weakening, push harder and we'll finish him off!" said the Bald Man, noticing Ding Fan's injury, his eyes shining with excitement.
After being trapped for so long, the Bald Man was growing impatient; now that Ding Fan was injured and victory seemed within reach, he was somewhat overwhelmed with joy.
However, just as the Bald Man was celebrating, Ding Fan's figure suddenly lunged forward and, in the blink of an eye, jumped out of the Arena.
"Damn, he's trying to flee!" the Bald Man exclaimed, and immediately rushed to block Ding Fan.
Following the Bald Man was a shorter martial artist. The two of them, one in front of the other, closely pursued Ding Fan.
Watching Ding Fan attempt to flee, the woman in black didn't chase right away, feeling somehow that this wouldn't be so simple.
And just as the woman in black hesitated for a moment, a Wind Blade sliced through the air, emitting a chilling, piercing shriek before cutting down its target.
Damn it! Condensing wind into a blade!
Seeing this scene, the adjacent woman in black was struck dumb.
Condensing wind into a blade, she had only heard about it from her master Ye Qingyun but had yet to witness it firsthand. What she couldn't fathom was that Ding Fan could actually achieve Condensing Wind into a Blade!
Something her own master couldn't do, this youngster just over twenty had managed it.
This kid wasn't just defying the heavens, he was a mega-freak!
While the woman in black was still in shock, two streaks of blood shot out, and then the Bald Man and the short martial artist chasing Ding Fan were sliced into two by his Wind Blade!
Blood mist filled the air, and organs were scattered everywhere...
"Brother Fan…" Ye Ningqing's mouth hung wide open. Just moments ago in the Arena, the fight was evenly matched, and in the blink of an eye, Ding Fan had killed two Human Pinnacle Warriors.
Looking over the whole world, how many could kill Human Pinnacle Warriors in one blow, and moreover, kill two at once!
"How is this possible…" The other Human Pinnacle Warrior standing beside the woman in black couldn't help but tremble.
He was considered to be a master among masters, and he had seen powerful adversaries before, but he had never encountered a powerful adversary like Ding Fan...
"Condensing wind into blades, ghostly movement techniques..." What kind of opponent was this?
Ding Fan's right hand transformed into a knife hand, and he coldly swept his gaze toward the black-clad woman beside him. She had been pursuing and tormenting him until now.
What goes around comes around—now it was finally his turn to be imposing.
Feeling the vast killing intent emanating from Ding Fan, the black-clad woman's body couldn't help but tremble. She had come with four others, including herself, but now, three had been killed by Ding Fan...
At this moment, the black-clad woman felt the urge to retreat. They had been a group of four attacking Ding Fan and had still failed, now with only two of them left, how could they possibly stand as Ding Fan's adversaries.
"Xiao Shi, I command you to hold him off. I'll go ask our master to come and extinguish this scourge!" the black-clad woman shouted to her companion.
"Senior sister, do you think I'm stupid? If I stay behind, I die, and you think I'll be that stupid to let you run while I wait for death in my dreams!" said Xiao Shi, the martial artist.
"How dare you disobey me?" The black-clad woman's face darkened. "I'll report this to our master when we get back, do you think the master will let you off?"
"You slaughtered our fellow disciples; just now Xiao Qing died because you used her as a human shield. If master knew, who do you think would die sooner, you or me?" Xiao Shi retorted.
"Fine, this is not the time for you and me to argue. The greater enemy is in front of us. Since neither of us is willing to be left behind, let's join forces against him. Even if we return, having lost so many fellow disciples, the master definitely won't spare us," said the black-clad woman.
The person called Xiao Shi took a glance at the black-clad woman. "If we're to advance or retreat together, then don't play any tricks or I'd rather die with you."
The black-clad woman nodded. "I swear on my life, if I play any tricks, then may I die without a place to bury..."
Xiao Shi listened to the black-clad woman's words and nodded, seemingly believing her somewhat.
"Then let's join forces to kill this madman!"
The black-clad woman charged forward, rolling her body into motion, and Xiao Shi, seeing nothing amiss, followed suit.
Seeing the two rushing towards him, Ding Fan felt no pressure. Killing two Human Pinnacle Warriors was just a matter of time.
However, just as Ding Fan was preparing to face the enemy, a sudden change occurred before him.
The black-clad woman shifted her form, ending up behind Xiao Shi, who was focusing all his attention on Ding Fan and failed to notice her.
Then the black-clad woman's hand, holding a judge's pen, swiftly aimed for the back of Xiao Shi's head.
By the time Xiao Shi realized what was happening, it was already too late to dodge. The black-clad woman's judge's pen smashed his brain out.
In the end, Xiao Shi's body was thrown to the ground. Perhaps even in death, he regretted trusting the black-clad woman. Xiao Qing had died because of her, and yet he had failed to remember the lesson...
Seeing this scene, Ding Fan's eyebrows furrowed. He didn't understand what the black-clad woman was trying to do by killing her own companion.
She and her companion together were not his match, and now that her opponent was dead, she had even less chance of turning the tables.
What happened next was that the black-clad woman knelt down in front of Ding Fan.
"Master Ding, pursuing you to kill you was against my will. I've helped you kill Xiao Shi, please show mercy and let me go," the black-clad woman beseeched, actually kowtowing to Ding Fan.
She was resorting to killing a companion and offering flattery!
Ding Fan's expression darkened. To save herself, she had killed her own companion; such a person disgusted Ding Fan just by the sight of her.
The black-clad woman seemed to sense the murderous aura emanating from Ding Fan and became even more frantic, knocking her head onto the ground. At this moment, the black-clad woman was, in essence, no different from a dog. The demeanor she had as a high-level expert was completely gone.
"What was your mission today..." Ding Fan asked the black-clad woman kneeling on the ground, his voice cold.
"After killing you today, we were to kill your beautiful companion Mei Li, the boy Song Tao, and Song Tao's mother, Li Shuying… The master said that any person associated with you, regardless of gender, is to be killed..." The black-clad woman didn't hesitate at all and spilled everything she knew.
Ding Fan's expression turned even grimmer. Ye Qingshan was truly ruthless, not content with just killing him but even planning to wipe out all his friends and relatives...
Ding Fan's right hand flicked, and a Wind Blade swiftly flew out.
The black-clad woman didn't even get a chance to beg for mercy before she was cut into two by Ding Fan. A person who could betray her own people was a scourge upon this world, better killed off sooner rather than later.
Ding Fan incinerated the bodies on the ground with a few Fireball Techniques, and just at that moment, something stirred within Ding Fan's sea of consciousness, and he suddenly had an epiphany.
Right then, Ding Fan sat down cross-legged...
