Chapter 394: Chapter 394

At the Sixth Level of Qi cultivation, Ding Fan's current level can be compared to that of a Fourth or Fifth-Grade Martial Artist of Earth Level. However, with the Flying Sword in hand, as well as the Fireball Technique and the Teleportation Technique, Ding Fan was able to fight above his level.

The short Elder from the opposing side was a Fourth-Grade Earth Level. Ding Fan didn't take this old man seriously at all. What concerned him was the masked Elder.

"Kid, die!" the short Elder roared furiously, his powerful Inner Strength directly blasting towards Ding Fan.

Facing the short Elder, Ding Fan didn't dodge or evade. How could he waste time on someone who would sneak attack the younger generation?

Boom... Ding Fan thrust out his palm directly.

For a moment, the Arena became the center of a violent airstream that emanated from the two men and whipped up the dust around.

And just when people were observing the situation in the Arena, a figure was fiercely shot out.

Thud! Clearly out of control, this figure was flung out, toppled a large tree, and then the short Elder's body went limp as he lay on the ground, a pool of blood flowing out. It looked like he was beyond saving...

What's going on here?!

The short man had only charged forward and exchanged a single palm strike with Ding Fan, and after just one strike he was sent flying!

The faces of those from Donghe Sect had all turned ugly at this point. Although others might not understand the strength of the short man, that didn't mean they didn't.

The short man was one of the four top experts within the Donghe Sect. Within the Sect, he held a very revered position and was even the chief instructor for the Donghe Sect disciples.

And yet, this impressive figure was sent flying with a single palm strike by Ding Fan!

Could he be any more impressive?!

Right now, not just the disciples of the Donghe Sect, but even the masked Elder's mouth twitched involuntarily. Clearly, he hadn't expected the short Elder to fall to just one move from Ding Fan.

The masked Elder looked towards the Arena, where the dust had yet to settle. His gaze grew more solemn.

Ding Fan, barely in his early twenties, possessed such a heaven-defying cultivation level that he could send a Fourth-Grade Earth Level Elder flying with a single palm strike. Could it be that Ding Fan's cultivation had already broken through to above the Fifth Level of Earth Grade?

At this moment, Cheng Bufan, Qi Luomei, and Mu Zi also stared dumbfounded.

The short man was at the Fourth Grade Earth Level. Ding Fan was defying the heavens, knocking out a Fourth Grade Earth Level expert with just one move...

Although Ding Fan had already shocked them enough before, right now, they were still stunned speechless...

Even Fang Ruo, who was hiding from afar, had her mouth wide open.

Fang Ruo naturally knew the might of the Donghe Sect. Therefore, she planned to lay in ambush, ready to save Ding Fan when he couldn't hold on anymore, thereby repaying the favor of him saving her life.

But what Fang Ruo could not have imagined was that Ding Fan would knock out a Fourth Grade Earth Level expert with a single move...

Fang Ruo truly couldn't fathom how someone barely over twenty years old could be so strong.

Looking at Ding Fan, who stood proudly in the Arena, Fang Ruo found herself lost in a daze. Ding Fan's figure somehow reminded her of the Ruoran who had saved her from the Myriad Ghosts Holy Monarch...

Nalan Xiong, standing next to Fang Ruo, watched her gaze intently at Ding Fan atop the Arena and clenched his teeth in frustration.

Nalan Xiong's hatred wasn't directed at Ding Fan, but rather at the Donghe Sect's Elder.

He had been counting on this Elder from the Donghe Sect to go out and teach Ding Fan a lesson, but to his dismay, the man was so fragile he got sent flying right away.

Did he just go out there to give away a free kill? This was practically giving Ding Fan an opportunity to show off...

At this moment, atop the Arena with the dust settling, Ding Fan stood nonchalantly, his contempt for the Donghe Sect's people evident on his face.

"That's all you've got..."

Ding Fan's words were like a hard slap in the face to the Donghe Sect people. But with Ding Fan's cultivation level evident, although the Donghe Sect people were annoyed, no one dared to confront him.

Actually, even though Ding Fan seemed to send the short Elder flying with just one move just now, in reality, he had stealthily used the Wind Blade Technique during their exchange of Inner Strength.

Ding Fan could now perfectly control the Wind Blade, and the one he had thrown out wasn't enough to kill the short Elder, but it was enough to distract him.

The Wind Blade had cleanly sliced off the Elder's ear, and in his shock, his Inner Strength scattered, after which he was blasted away by Ding Fan.

If it weren't for the tricks up his sleeve, how could Ding Fan have won so easily? His cultivation level was just enough to handle a Fourth Grade Earth Level, and at most, they would have ended up in a draw.

However, with a Sixth Grade Earth Level Martial Artist among their opponents, Ding Fan had to come up with a strategy to deal with the short Elder quickly.

"Child's play!" the masked Elder declared as he stepped forward. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩

Obviously, the masked Elder had seen through the tricks Ding Fan had used, but Ding Fan no longer cared. After all, what he wanted was to disable the Fourth Grade Earth Level Elder.

"Enough talk, if you have the ability, make your move..." Ding Fan stood with his hands behind his back, pointing at the masked Elder from a distance with an air of a supreme expert.

"Brother Fan is so cool!" Mu Zi murmured, watching Ding Fan's demeanor.

Even the normally haughty Qi Luomei had to admit that at this moment, Ding Fan was indeed too cool!

"Kid, you've offended the people of my Donghe Sect; no one survives! Not just you, even Qi Yuanzheng, who was a hundred times more of a hero than you, was ultimately dealt with by us," the masked Elder said in a casual tone.

Ding Fan was really getting fed up with the Donghe Sect; they really did have a penchant for boasting.

That Qi Yuanzheng was personally slain by Ding Fan's own hand, but the masked Elder was speaking as if it were fact. Lying without blinking an eye.

"You can't kill Qi Yuanzheng... You're not cut out for it!" Ding Fan said lightly.

"Hmph, boy, you sure are arrogant. If we're not cut out for it, do you think you are? Are you implying that Qi Yuanzheng was killed by you?!" the masked elder said.

At that moment, however, Ding Fan fell silent. He had no intention of letting others know it was he who had killed Qi Yuanzheng. So, there was no need for him to prove anything.

Meanwhile, from behind a large rock in the distance,

Fang Ruo's expression grew solemn after hearing the exchange between Ding Fan and the masked elder.

The person who had bought the Comforting Grass for one hundred million at yesterday's auction must have been Ding Fan. At the time, Ding Fan had bought the Comforting Grass in direct competition with Qi Yuanzheng.

Because Ding Fan had been in the supreme VIP room and his voice had been processed with a magical sound modulator, others could not recognize his voice.

Many people believed that Ding Fan, having competed with Qi Yuanzheng for the Comforting Grass, would surely not be spared by Qi Yuanzheng afterward.

Late that night, Mu Zi had brought the Comforting Grass to Fang Ruo's room.

Fang Ruo thought hard about what had happened the day before.

After the auction ended, Qi Yuanzheng had hurried out, and since then, Fang Ruo hadn't seen Ding Fan at all...

"Could it actually be him..." Fang Ruo's eyes widened as if she suddenly realized something.

"Could it be what?" Nalan Xiong asked beside her, somewhat puzzled.

But Fang Ruo completely ignored Nalan Xiong. She was thinking that the Comforting Grass must have been given to Mu Zi by Ding Fan to be passed on to her.

It was very likely that Ding Fan had had a tough fight with Qi Yuanzheng. According to this reasoning, it was very possible that Qi Yuanzheng had been dealt with by Ding Fan!

Fang Ruo's mouth gaped open. Although the idea was somewhat crazy, she felt that it was highly likely!

After all, it was Ding Fan who had bought the Comforting Grass, and with Qi Yuanzheng's temperament, he would have directly killed Ding Fan yesterday, but today, Ding Fan was still alive...

With this in mind, Fang Ruo looked towards Ding Fan in the Arena.

The members of the Great Gate Sect were unwilling to provoke Qi Yuanzheng, yet Ding Fan was willing to spend a billion to fight against him.

It was clear that Ding Fan must have known that Ruoran needed the Comforting Grass for treatment.

Ding Fan's actions were not for himself; he merely wanted to deliver the Comforting Grass to her, or more precisely, to Ruoran...

He was willing to wage war with a Martial Artist at the peak of the Earth Level to save Ruoran!

It was like challenging the Grim Reaper himself!

At that moment, a question arose in the depths of Fang Ruo's eyes.

Was Ding Fan really a scoundrel? Had he truly treated Ruoran poorly before? Could there have been some misunderstanding?

If Ding Fan were truly such a selfish and spoiled scoundrel, how could he possibly go to the lengths of provoking Qi Yuanzheng for Ruoran...

A voice kept reverberating in Fang Ruo's mind.

"Have I misunderstood Ding Fan..."

Ding Fan directly drew his Selfless Sword.

Facing a Sixth Grade Earth Level opponent, Ding Fan had to give it his all!

Seeing Ding Fan draw his longsword, the masked elder on the side immediately pulled out a horsetail whisk from his storage ring.

The horsetail whisk had a roughly inch-long ebony handle, with long, fine, white silks attached.

The disciples of Donghe Sect could not help but regard Ding Fan more highly when they saw the masked elder using the horsetail whisk right off the bat.

The disciples of Donghe Sect knew the masked elder's temperament the best.

He seldom resorted to using Magic Artifacts or weapons in battle. Today, however, the masked elder had unusually used a Magic Artifact from the start, which was clearly a sign that Ding Fan had made him wary.

A person capable of instantaneously killing a Fourth Grade Earth Level powerhouse was bound to demand the masked elder's attention.

"Boy, if you're going to blame anyone, blame yourself for provoking Donghe Sect," said the masked elder, and with a ferocious movement, he whipped the horsetail whisk out.

A powerful surge of Inner Strength shot out directly towards Ding Fan.

It turned out that the horsetail whisk was an Artifact of Attack!

Ding Fan did not dare to be careless. His figure flickered, and before the Inner Strength from the whisk could strike, he abruptly vanished from his spot.

The masked elder was taken aback, clearly shocked by Ding Fan's movement technique.

But there wasn't much time for the masked elder to be stunned as a sword edge swept directly towards the elder's throat. The masked elder hastily dodged to the side.

The opponent's sword was extremely fast, and the masked elder was nearly slit at the throat.

Now, the masked elder's expression became grave.

It seemed that today a bitter battle was inevitable...
