Chapter 368: Chapter 368

Ding Fan was sitting under the pavilion enjoying his tea while Ru Hang kept him company, albeit reluctantly.

At that moment, a long howl suddenly erupted from inside the Miniature Palace.

Hearing the howl, Ding Fan's face turned ugly in an instant. His Divine Sense swept over and identified it as a howl from a Fifth Grade Yuan Beast, the Long Fang Wolf.

The combat power of a Fifth Grade Yuan Beast was comparable to a high-ranking Earth Level Martial Artist. From the sound of it, Ding Fan could tell it was an adult Long Fang Wolf. He hadn't expected such a Ferocious Beast to be in the Noble Manor.

Seeing the change in Ding Fan's expression, Ru Hang, standing nearby, snorted arrogantly, "That's a Long Fang Wolf captured by my Lu Family ancestor. Don't worry, elder, the Long Fang Wolf is bound by Adamantine Chains, it won't harm you."

The word "elder" from Ru Hang's mouth was heavily emphasized, carrying not a trace of respect. Clearly, his calling Ding Fan "elder" was but a mockery of Ding Fan's timidity.

At that time, Ding Fan frowned, "Are you saying that you've merely restrained the Long Fang Wolf with Adamantine Chains?"

"Of course, you can rest assured it can't get out."

Ding Fan stood up, his expression turning grave, "If you don't want this place to turn into a river of blood, hurry and tell your elders to kill the Long Fang Wolf immediately!"

Others might not know the Long Fang Wolf, but how could Ding Fan not know it? Although it resembled a canid, this Ferocious Beast was extremely crafty and even capable of using the Bone Shrinking Technique.

If they didn't bind it with water-soaked cow tendons, they would definitely not be able to control this beast.

This Yuan Beast was exceptionally vicious, and extremely proud by nature. Once it escapes, there would inevitably be a bloodbath within the Noble Manor!

"Kill it?!" Ru Hang, upon hearing Ding Fan suggesting to kill the Long Fang Wolf, snorted coldly, "The Demon Core of the Long Fang Wolf is crucial for our Lu Family; we can't just kill it like that. Don't worry, the sons of the Lu Family are capable. Even if the Long Fang Wolf breaks out, we can still kill it. You'll be safe."

Ding Fan's brow was tightly knit.

Just then, another long howl came out from the Miniature Palace.

The sound was very mournful, sending chills down one's spine. Even Ru Hang, who usually didn't care, grew solemn.

"I'm not scaremongering. If the Long Fang Wolf breaks out of its cage, it will become even more vicious. You won't be able to control it," Ding Fan said.

Howl... The howls of the Long Fang Wolf became more frequent and brutal.

Ru Hang's face grew serious as well. This Long Fang Wolf had not made such noises over the past few days. Could this Ferocious Beast really break out of the cage?

"Nothing will go wrong. My great uncle's cultivation is powerful. He's guarding the Long Fang Wolf; nothing will happen," Ru Hang said, though his tone lacked the confidence it had before.

Just then, the northwest corner of the first floor of the Miniature Palace suddenly collapsed. A figure was then flung out.

Ru Hang's face went pale as he looked in the direction of the noise. The person thrown out was none other than his great uncle, Lu Zhanfei, who had been guarding the Long Fang Wolf.

Ru Hang was truly stupefied at this moment.

Lu Zhanfei was an Earth Level Fourth Grade cultivator, reputed to be the strongest in the Lu Family next to the old patriarch. Such a powerful being was flung out just like that.

At that moment, Lu Zhanfei hit the ground hard, covered in blood. He struggled to stand up, but after several attempts, he failed. His injuries were obviously too severe.

Howl… Just then, a long scream suddenly came from the hole in the northwest corner of the Miniature Palace.

Ding Fan looked toward the sound.

There, in the hole, appeared a beast with the appearance of a wolf but three to four times larger, with eyes blood-red and a deep scar on its face. More terrifying were its inch-long fangs, gleaming a chilly white that felt like blades to the back.

This was the Long Fang Wolf, a Fifth Grade Yuan Beast!

Howl... The Long Fang Wolf howled again, seemingly venting the anger of its captivity.

To it, humans were just insignificant creatures, yet it had been imprisoned by them, which infuriated the Long Fang Wolf.

"What... what to do..." Ru Hang was stunned.

Having been raised in a prominent Hidden World Family, and as a Core Disciple, Ru Hang had never encountered such a vicious beast. At this moment, not to mention fighting, merely the sight of it chilled his heart, driving him to flee. For more chapters visıt 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩

"Don't move!" Ding Fan warned, seeing Ru Hang trembling all over.

The Long Fang Wolf would first attack moving targets. Ru Hang's cultivation was not high; if he were to panic now, the Long Fang Wolf could kill him in an instant.

However, by this time, Ru Hang was already terrified beyond reason, Ding Fan's words unheard. He stepped back twice and then desperately fled.

The blood-red eyes of the Long Fang Wolf locked onto Ru Hang immediately, and it dashed straight toward him, attacking swiftly.

"Mom, help!" At this moment, Ru Hang was so terrified that tears streamed down his face, all of his previous arrogance gone.

Whoosh whoosh... Just then, two figures, each wielding a longsword, approached the saber-toothed wolf from the left and the right.

Just as the saber-toothed wolf was about to bite Lu Hang in half, the two people directly slashed out their sword qi.

The sword qi was fierce, filled with a murderous intent!

Bang bang... The sword qi slashed onto the body of the saber-toothed wolf, sparking flashes of fire momentarily.

The bristles on the skin of the saber-toothed wolf, tough like mysterious iron wire, were unharmed by the two slashes of sword qi.

Roar... It roared angrily at those who dared to strike it. It turned its head and gave up on chasing Lu Hang, who had been crying out pitifully, and instead dashed toward the two people attacking it from behind.

The saber-toothed wolf leaped forward, its gaping maw aiming to bite one of them in half.

At that moment, the saber-toothed wolf's speed was incredibly fast, making escape impossible. The only option left was to fight. He held his longsword horizontally, barely blocking the wolf's attack.

However, the momentum of the saber-toothed wolf was strong. Although the man blocked the ferocious beast's attack with his longsword, he was still sent flying.

The ferocity of the saber-toothed wolf surged as it swept its tail.

The other Martial Artist hurriedly used his longsword to defend.

Bang! The collision between the wolf's tail and the longsword sparked another flurry of sparks, and the Martial Artist was sent flying as well.

Whoosh... The saber-toothed wolf instantly knocked back the two Martial Artists, then immediately pounced toward one of the fallen, its jaws wide open, ready to devour him.

"Sixth Uncle!" At that moment, Lu Fan rushed out from the 'Miniature Palace,' seeing the saber-toothed wolf about to deliver a deadly bite, he anxiously shouted.

Just when Lu Fan thought Sixth Uncle Ding Fan was beyond help, a figure suddenly dashed forward.

It snatched the Martial Artist right from in front of the saber-toothed wolf.

Boom… The saber-toothed wolf bit nothing but air.

The saber-toothed wolf went wild!

Lu Fan was stunned, the speed and ferocity of the saber-toothed wolf were astonishing, and even Lu Zhanfei, the top expert of the Lu Family, had been severely beaten by it. Now, someone had managed to rescue the man from the wolf's jaws!

However, when Lu Fan saw the person holding his Sixth Uncle atop the artificial hill, he felt relieved.

The person who rescued the Sixth Uncle, who else could it be but Ding Fan!

At that moment, Lu Hang, who had previously been haughty, was trembling, hiding in a corner. When he saw Ding Fan actually rescue the Sixth Uncle from the wolf's jaws, his face showed a mix of shock.

What Lu Fan said was true after all—this guy was really incredible!

The person called Sixth Uncle was named Lu Zhanliang. He wasn't seriously injured; he had only been thrown off by the saber-toothed wolf.

"You go protect the Lu Family Disciples, tell them not to come out, I will deal with this ferocious beast!"

Having said that, Ding Fan ignored Lu Zhanliang, already holding the Selfless Sword in his hand. His figure flashed, and he directly dashed toward the saber-toothed wolf beneath the artificial hill.

Lu Zhanliang was momentarily startled.

This man, barely in his twenties, spoke boldly, claiming he would handle the saber-toothed wolf on his own.

However, witnessing Ding Fan leap down and kick the saber-toothed wolf onto the ground, Lu Zhanliang no longer underestimated him. For a person able to topple such a ferocious beast with a single kick, he couldn't possibly be ordinary.

Immediately, Lu Zhanliang busied himself following Ding Fan's instruction, taking care of the Lu Family's disciples and keeping them away from the arena.

Ding Fan's reasons for dealing with the saber-toothed wolf were twofold.

Firstly, the Hermit of the Horizon had entrusted him with it. He could not stand by and watch others die; after all, in the ruins of Changling, Ding Fan received a lot, including the Selfless Sword he now wielded, all of which he had obtained there.

Secondly, the saber-toothed wolf's Demon Core had formed; a Fifth Grade or higher Yuan Beast Demon Pill was immensely valuable. If refined into a Qi Condensing Pill, one's cultivation could advance by leaps and bounds in a single day!

Although this ferocious beast had the combat power of an Earth Level Fifth Grade, Ding Fan also had a method to deal with it.

Ding Fan would intermittently release some of the divine aura of Zizi.

Zizi, after all, was the King of Beast. Although the saber-toothed wolf was fierce, upon sensing Zizi's aura, it instinctively felt fear.

Releasing Zizi's aura for a while and scaring the saber-toothed wolf, Ding Fan would then withdraw the aura, simply making the wolf constantly feel danger lurking around. This prevented it from concentrating fully.

With Ding Fan's Sixth Level of Qi Cultivation and his full-power attack, having the Selfless Sword in his hand, the killing of the saber-toothed wolf was just a matter of time.

Ding Fan's remaining task was to escalate his approach, step by step, until the saber-toothed wolf was slain!
