Chapter 351: Chapter 351
Hao Shan and Cheng Jiang each grabbed their weapons and advanced towards Ding Fan.
Initially, both of them had intended to seek Ding Fan's allegiance, but upon hearing that he possessed the Forbidden Area's Treasure, they turned him into their primary target to kill.
In both the Cultivation World and on Earth, reality is just as harsh.
Interests come first!
At this moment, Ding Fan had no time to dally with these people. It was known that once the Forbidden Area closed, if one wanted to leave, they would have to wait for the next opening of its gate.
What Ding Fan needed to do now was to repair the exit before the gate of the Forbidden Area closed. Before that, how could Ding Fan have the leisure to play with these few?
Ding Fan suddenly let out a loud shout, and a Wind Blade went flying straight out.
The Wind Blade was forceful and with a sharp whistling that cut through the air, reverberated in the void.
Pff! A streak of blood soared into the air.
In the blink of an eye, Hao Shan had already been bisected by Ding Fan's Wind Blade Technique.
To forge wind into a blade, and to kill an Earth Level Martial Artist with a single strike.
The crowd that originally surrounded Ding Fan for an attack exchanged looks with each other in disbelief.
The cultivation of Hao Shan was well known amongst these people—the prowess of an Earth Level Expert, one who rarely met an equal.
Yet, such a formidable figure had been slain by Ding Fan instantly, and the manner of the killing was nothing short of horrifying.
The Wind Blade! A legendary Martial Skill they had heard could transform wind into a lethal blade, but despite the rumors, they had not mastered even a hint of its secret techniques.
Some said that to utilize the Wind Blade, one at least needed to be above Fifth Grade Earth Level.
Could it be that this young man before them had already achieved that formidable Fifth Grade Earth Level strength?!
"If there are any dissatisfied, come try your luck," Ding Fan said as he didn't bother to conceal his overwhelming killing intent. What Ding Fan wanted now was to establish authority, to intimidate. Only with a strong show of force could he make these people understand what they should do.
Cheng Jiang and the others exchanged glances once more.
How could they withstand that overwhelming killing intent from Ding Fan? Among them, the more faint-hearted had already felt a wetness in their trousers.
"If there are any more dissenters, this will be your fate!" Ding Fan said, pointing at Hao Shan's severed corpse on the ground.
"I yield..." An Elder with slightly lesser cultivation behind Cheng Jiang immediately tossed his longsword onto the ground.
Ding Fan's presence was simply too overpowering; at this moment, he couldn't hold on any longer.
With one person discarding their weapon, those who had followed Hao Shan also threw down theirs. All of a sudden, only Cheng Jiang was left holding a longsword in the Arena.
"I... I yield too," Cheng Jiang hesitated for a moment, then tossed his longsword onto the ground as well.
When it came to cultivation, Hao Shan and Cheng Jiang were evenly matched; otherwise, Cheng Jiang would not have been able to fight Hao Shan to a draw.
If even Hao Shan was instantly killed by Ding Fan, how could Cheng Jiang possibly be a match for Ding Fan? Now that his companions had discarded their weapons, there was no use for him to persist.
"Are you even men? He killed Hao Shan, why don't you avenge him!" The young lady by their side spoke angrily. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝔫𝔢𝔱
The day before, she had willingly offered herself to Ding Fan, but Ding Fan not only didn't appreciate it, he even bluntly told her to get lost. She had offered herself to him, and he didn't want her—this was a blatant slap in the face.
That's why she schemed to have Cheng Jiang and Hao Shan join forces against Ding Fan.
But who would have thought that Ding Fan would kill Hao Shan with a single move? Now that Hao Shan was dead, these men all turned coward.
How could this not infuriate the young lady?
At this time, Cheng Jiang and the others hung their heads. It wasn't that they didn't want to kill Ding Fan—should the treasures of the relics truly be upon him, slaying Ding Fan would grant them the treasure.
But the truth was, they simply could not kill Ding Fan. A person as dazzlingly impressive as Ding Fan, who slayed Hao Shan with a Wind Blade upon engagement—any confrontation would result in their death.
"You bunch of weaklings, if any of you kills him, I am willing to sleep with him. My body will belong to whoever does," the young lady said, stripping off her upper garment in desperation.
With the young lady's upper garment removed, the exquisite view it unveiled drew Cheng Jiang and the others' sideways glances.
The young lady was definitely a rare beauty, perfect in body and face, with curves in all the right places. Such a woman was something any man would desire to conquer.
Ding Fan snorted coldly. At that moment, his figure suddenly flickered, and he reached out his right hand towards the young lady's face.
The young lady was startled; she hadn't expected Ding Fan to reach her so swiftly, but by the time she thought to resist, it was already too late.
Whoosh! With a forceful tug, Ding Fan pulled off a palm-sized, unidentifiable object from the face of the young woman, as if performing a magic trick.
That object was fleshy and resembled a small lump of meat. However, this lump of meat had eyes and a mouth on it.
"Ah?!! You... how could you..." The young woman was infuriated.
But at that moment, Cheng Jiang's eyes were wide open, as if he had seen a ghost. "This woman... how... how..."
The two people behind Cheng Jiang were also greatly surprised when they saw the appearance of the young woman.
The young woman, seeing the expression of Cheng Jiang and his companions, frantically touched her own face.
Where there was once smooth and delicate skin, now the young woman's face was covered with wrinkled, crinkly skin, and from her nostrils, long nose hairs protruded embarrassingly.
The most disgusting sight was the young woman's exposed upper body, which previously seemed attractive.
On her chest were two dry and shriveled lumps of flesh that made one feel nauseated at the sight...
The person before them was no young woman; she was clearly an Old Demon of a thousand years.
"How... how is this possible?!" An elder behind Cheng Jiang, after seeing her, spat out his words in shock.
This martial artist clearly remembered that he had even kissed this Old Demon before. If he had known what she truly looked like, not even death would make him kiss her.
"What... what's going on here?" Lady Fang looked at Ding Fan, her face expressing disbelief at the scene unfolding before her.
Ding Fan snorted coldly. "The Illusory Palm! A type of spiritual beast that can change one's appearances and even voice."
As Ding Fan spoke, he glanced at the lump of flesh in his hand that resembled a palm.
The lump of flesh seemed to fearfully squirm towards the center of Ding Fan's palm.
"Boy, you really are despicable, seeing through my Illusory Palm. I wondered why someone would not like to sleep with me; it turns out you had seen through it already!" the Old Demon said to Ding Fan with a sneer.
Now, the Old Demon's voice was very hoarse, totally lacking the ethereal allure from before, making her seem like a completely different person compared to the young woman from earlier.
"I didn't notice anything yesterday, but when you got angry just now, it frightened the Illusory Palm, causing some misalignment in your appearance. That's how I found out," Ding Fan said indifferently.
"Damn it!" The Old Demon glared hatefully at Ding Fan, as if she wanted to devour him whole.
"You motherfucker!" Just then, an elder from behind Cheng Jiang charged forward and kicked the Old Demon, flipping her onto the ground.
"For making me sick, damn you, for making me sick!" the elder shouted as he violently kicked the Old Demon's face.
From the elder's reaction, everyone else could tell that there had definitely been some intimate relations between the two before.
"Dear sweetie, didn't you say you'd cherish and love me? How can you bear to use such a cruel hand now..." As the Old Demon was kicked half to death by the elder, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, she spoke in a mocking tone.
"I'll kill you!" At that moment, the elder was extremely disgusted. He struck down with a single palm.
Although the elder was nothing in front of Ding Fan, he was still an Earth Level Martial Artist. Killing an Old Demon was easy for him.
The elder's palm struck the Old Demon's head directly, splashing brains all over, and the Old Demon died, beyond any hope of revival.
Ding Fan didn't intervene. To kill such a deceitful person was just that—a kill. If he hadn't had sufficient cultivation, he would have likely met with a grim fate just by the words of this Old Demon.
"Now I must repair the exit of the Forbidden Area as quickly as possible. If there's any delay, we might be trapped here," Ding Fan said to the others.
At this moment, the three Earth Level Experts like Cheng Jiang didn't dare contradict Ding Fan's words.
Immediately, Ding Fan set Lady Fang down and then used his Divine Sense to check the situation outside the exit of the Forbidden Area.
The exit of the Forbidden Area had clearly been blasted open by a massive amount of Explosive Talismans.
Seeing these Explosive Talismans, Ding Fan was even more certain that the one who had tampered with the exit must be Zhang Kaizhi. Ding Fan was also more determined that once he got out, he would definitely kill Zhang Kaizhi on the spot.
After probing with his Divine Sense, Ding Fan felt that the exit could still be repaired. The method of repair was actually simple: use the same method, blast the exit open with Explosive Talismans.
Ding Fan carefully considered it and felt that the feasibility of this method was quite high. But now, the difficult part was where he could quickly find so many Explosive Talismans in such a short period of time.
Without delay, Ding Fan discussed the situation with Cheng Jiang and the others.
Fortunately for Ding Fan, Cheng Jiang happened to have some Explosive Talismans on him. Entering the Forbidden Area to protect against danger, Cheng Jiang had indeed prepared a good number of Explosive Talismans.
With Cheng Jiang's Explosive Talismans and some materials Ding Fan prepared to refine some himself, it took about three hours to get the Explosive Talismans nearly ready.
By that time, there were less than ten minutes left before the closure of the Forbidden Area...
