Chapter 317: Chapter 317

The handsome man swung his longsword, charging directly at the short man.

The short man snorted coldly, standing his ground, not moving an inch, clearly deeming the other's sword not worthy of his attention.

"Seeking death!" the short man growled, then extended his right hand.

The longsword in the handsome man's hand was suddenly grabbed by the short man. The handsome man was stunned, as the other actually caught the blade with his bare hand.

Hidden behind a large rock, Ding Fan could clearly see that the short man practiced a cultivation technique that strengthened his muscles, which were comparable to steel and iron. Thus, he was not afraid of the handsome man's blade.

However, before the handsome man could react, the short man's right hand suddenly exerted force, and the longsword in the handsome man's hand was immediately seized.

Bang! After seizing the longsword, the short man kicked out, sending the handsome man tumbling to the ground with a direct kick.

"Looks good but useless!" said the short man, then flung it forcefully, sending the longsword hurtling towards the handsome man. The longsword smashed directly between the legs of the handsome man, missing only a few centimeters from a disastrous impact.

The handsome man had already lost his earlier vigor, his face now pale, clearly not expecting these unimpressive-looking people to have such formidable cultivation.

"We don't have any treasures on us, you've got the wrong people…" the handsome man said, somewhat flustered, as he got up from the ground.

The short man snorted coldly. "You came from Changbai Mountain, do I need to say the rest?"

Upon hearing Changbai Mountain mentioned, the handsome man's expression turned grave. "The exotic treasure was taken by the people from Quanzhen Xuanmen, it has nothing to do with us."

"Boy, I originally came here just for the treasure, not to kill. If you keep making excuses, it might not be that simple anymore," the short man said coldly. "Let me remind you, Crimson Flame Fire Frog…"

Upon hearing this, the handsome man's expression immediately turned serious.

"Senior Brother, the Crimson Flame Fire Frog is entrusted by our sect; we cannot hand it over to these people," said the extraordinarily beautiful girl named Xian Shui, who stepped forward and spoke to the handsome man.

Xian Shui could clearly feel that the handsome man was considering whether to hand over the Crimson Flame Fire Frog to them.

"Hmph, not giving it to us? We'll kill you and still find the Crimson Flame Fire Frog. We've been tracking you the whole way; it's obvious that the treasure is on you two," the short man said coldly.

"Fine, I'll give it to you." As soon as the short man finished speaking, the handsome man reached inside his robe and pulled out a jade box.

The Jade Box was the size of a matchbox, but surrounded by spiritual energy. Hidden behind the large rock, Ding Fan's eyes lit up. This spiritual energy was no less potent than the earlier Spiritstone Essence.

No wonder the six sons of West Mountain pursued them here; for such a treasure, it was indeed worth it.

"Senior Brother, if you give them the Crimson Flame Fire Frog, how will we explain ourselves to the sect if they find fault? You can't give it to them!" Xian Shui said from the side.

"Junior Sister Xian Shui, you have to understand, if we don't give it to them now, then we will all end up dead here. When our lives are gone, what use do we have for this thing?"

The handsome man said this, then respectfully handed the jade box to the short man.

"Now that we have given you the item, can we go?" the handsome man said, then turned to leave, taking Xian Shui's hand.

"You can go, but this woman cannot…" Just then, a gaunt man standing behind the short man spoke.

The gaunt man had a sallow complexion, looking like a sick ghost. However, his eyes were fixed on Xian Shui's face, his tongue occasionally licking his lips.

"Senior Brother, don't…" Xian Shui was naive, but she understood what it meant for her not to be allowed to leave.

A fragile woman in their grasp meant more danger, risking life was one thing, losing chastity was another!

"Brothers, you have what you wanted, we have already given it to you, please let us go," the handsome man pleaded with the six men.

"Fuck off!" The gaunt man, in a blur, moved in front of the handsome man and kicked him, sending him rolling over.

"If you don't leave, I wouldn't mind killing you right here!" the gaunt man said with a grim face.

The gaunt man then grabbed Xian Shui, who tried to resist; however, his cultivation was not weak, and before Xian Shui could finish a punch, her acupoints were sealed by him.

A stunning beauty was then hoisted onto the gaunt man's shoulder.

"Senior Brother, save me! Senior Brother…"

At this moment, Xian Shui was truly panicked. If she was really taken away by this man, then she was truly done for. Now, with all her acupoints sealed, she could only hope for her senior brother to save her.

However, what happened next chilled Xian Shui to the core. The handsome man glanced at Xian Shui being carried off by the gaunt man, then clenched his teeth and walked away.

Xian Shui had not expected her senior brother, who usually cared so deeply and frequently showed his affection, to abandon her in such a moment.

His leaving without looking back was like throwing her into a fiery pit. Xian Shui didn't know if it was from fear or her heart turning to ashes, but tears streamed down her face.

"Your lover brother doesn't care about you anymore, let me take good care of you tonight," the skinny man chuckled, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth.

Xian Shui cried out hysterically.

"Hehe, keep shouting. Even if you shout your throat hoarse, you won't be able to summon a single person. You might at best summon two little ghosts," said the skinny man.

At this moment, Xian Shui felt utterly hopeless. The senior brother she most admired had abandoned her, and now she was trapped in danger. She even thought about death.

At this moment, perhaps only death could free her.

"Let her go. Several men bullying one woman, don't you feel any shame?"

Just then, a figure had unknowingly appeared in front of the group.

Xian Shui looked in the direction of the voice. Under the moonlight, a somewhat frail figure blocked their path.

"Damn it! We really are seeing a ghost..." the skinny man muttered coldly.

"Kid, your parents didn't have it easy raising you. Scram, or else once we get murderous, even if you want to run, you won't be able to escape," the short man coldly told the newcomer.

The newcomer had no fluctuations of Inner Strength around him, clearly just an ordinary person. Thus, he didn't take it to heart.

"Help! Please, save me..." Seeing someone come to rescue her, Xian Shui, like a drowning person clutching at a straw, placed all her hope on the newcomer.

The newcomer was none other than Ding Fan. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel※fire.net

Suddenly, a sharp whistling noise tore through the air as Ding Fan shot an iron nail straight at them.

The skinny man had not expected Ding Fan to have such a trick up his sleeve. Caught off guard, his kneecap was shattered by Ding Fan's iron nail.

With his knee injured, the skinny man suddenly lost his support, his body tilting. At that moment, he felt his shoulder lighten. When he looked at his shoulder, the beautiful woman he was carrying was already gone.

Damn! How is that possible?!

At this moment, Xian Shui, somehow or other, had already been embraced by Ding Fan. Obviously, Ding Fan had whisked her away in the instant the man got injured.

The skinny man knelt on one knee, staring unbelievingly at Ding Fan across from him.

The cultivation of the skinny man was very strong; he was at the Peak of the Human Level. This level of cultivation in the Secular World allowed him to walk unchallenged.

Yet today, in front of a young man barely over twenty, he was not only injured but also had the person snatched from his hands.

Not only the skinny man, but the other members of the West Mountain Six Young Masters were also all incredulous. They had clearly seen what just happened.

As soon as the skinny man's body tilted, Ding Fan seemed to instantly appear by his side and whisked away the person he was carrying. Merely from the movement technique alone, none of the six men present could match him.

At this moment, the short man finally realized that the lack of Inner Strength fluctuations on Ding Fan was clearly because he was using a magic artifact to conceal his cultivation. Without cultivation, how could he possibly possess such an incredible movement technique?

Meanwhile, Xian Shui, held in Ding Fan's arms, was completely bewildered. As the person involved, she hadn't seen clearly what had happened just now. She only remembered feeling a blur before her eyes, and then she was already in Ding Fan's embrace.

"Shit, you're courting death!" the skinny man pushed himself to stand up.

"Wait!" Just as the skinny man wanted to rush forward and fight Ding Fan to the death, the short man called out to him.

After holding the skinny man back, the short man said to Ding Fan, "I didn't expect you to be a skilled master. Well, since you want to save that woman, take her and go."

The short man then waved his hand at his subordinates. "Let's go!"

"Big brother, are we really just leaving ?" the skinny man looked at the short man unhappily.

"Go!" The short man didn't waste words, only saying one cold word.

The skinny man, clearly very afraid of the short man, didn't dare to talk back anymore. After glaring fiercely at Ding Fan, he turned and started to leave.

Xian Shui, whose heart had been in her throat, finally felt relief. She had been worried that if these six men fought all out, whether the person who saved her could withstand them. Now, thankfully, the opponents had all left.

"Stop, I haven't said you could leave!" Just as the six were about to turn and leave, Ding Fan coldly spoke from the side.

Xian Shui opened her eyes wide and looked at Ding Fan.

Weren't they walking away already? What else does he want to do?!
