Chapter 452: Chapter 452
Within the Four Wilderness Destruction Formation, Ding Fan was kicked and sent flying without warning. Only by relying on the cultivation he possessed within the formation, did he manage to steady his form, but still, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood directly.
The middle-aged Japanese man watching on the side was pleased by this scene. "Capture him alive!"
Ding Fan was indeed formidable, slaughtering twenty or thirty men of the Sixth Guard Squad by himself. If their ninjas could capture such an impressive figure, their prestige would be immense.
The four ninjas on the arena knew full well that Ding Fan was not easy to deal with, and now that they finally had the upper hand, how could they possibly miss this opportunity?
At once, the four men turned into four shadows and charged straight towards Ding Fan with the intent to kill.
Just when everyone thought Ding Fan certainly couldn't escape, something unexpected happened.
At that moment, a bright light suddenly surged, and then the light turned into a streak that shot out rapidly.
Before the four ninjas could reach Ding Fan, their heads were suddenly sent flying, as they were decapitated by the streak of light.
With their heads severed, the four bodies fell to the ground, and blood stained the floor bright red.
Four ninjas were beheaded simultaneously!
"What... what is that, is it Demon Art?" Simon was dumbfounded as he watched.
In Simon's eyes, Ding Fan had simply thrown out a streak of light, and then people were beheaded.
Simon didn't understand, but the middle-aged Japanese man beside him watched Ding Fan's flying sword in stunned silence, not hearing what Simon said to him.
At this time, Ding Fan let out a long howl.
His howl pierced the heavens, exuding boundless heroism!
Boom... A surge of True Qi directly billowed from Ding Fan's body. The surrounding sand and stones were also influenced by the True Qi from his body, rolling in all directions.
"I've broken through!" Ding Fan recalled his Selfless Sword, his face brimming with excitement.
Unexpectedly, Ding Fan had an epiphanic advancement while surrounded by heavy forces. It was simply too unimaginable.
While Ding Fan was overjoyed, the surrounding Sixth Guard Squad and even the ninjas from Japan, at this moment, not one dared to rashly launch an attack.
By this point, the ground had already turned a crimson hue, littered with limbs and entrails... The arena was like hell on earth.
At this time, Ding Fan was like the Grim Reaper harvesting lives, his killing intent boiling.
Deterrence! Powerful deterrence. Though the Sixth Guard Squad and the ninjas had surrounded Ding Fan, his aura made every person present feel fear.
"Mr. Shangdao, aren't your ninjas the fiercest martial artists in the world? Let your warriors kill this Huaxia man!" Simon urged the middle-aged Japanese man beside him.
The middle-aged Japanese had indeed boasted that their martial arts were unparalleled in the world, but that was before he knew how ferocious Ding Fan was. Had he known of Ding Fan's ferocity, he wouldn't have boasted so arrogantly!
"Mr. Simon, I think we should join forces and go at him together. Relying solely on ability users and ninjas to kill this man would cost us dearly," Shangdao said. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍
Simon had intended to push the Japanese man to the front line, but he didn't expect that the usually proud Japanese man would actually show humility at this time.
While Simon was about to say something more, Shangdao looked as if he'd seen a ghost and retreated several steps back.
Simon was taken aback. "Shangdao..."
Before Simon could finish speaking, the cold edge of a sword was already resting on Simon's shoulder...
Simon, too, was taken by surprise. He looked up, and even the ever-composed Simon's face showed a trace of shock.
Unbeknownst to him when, Ding Fan had already appeared by his side, and the sword beam was resting on his own shoulder.
Keep in mind, Ding Fan had been dozens of meters away in the arena just moments before, and in the blink of an eye, he had appeared right by his side. If he hadn't seen it for himself, who would believe someone could achieve this?
At this time, Shangdao left Simon there and quickly moved away.
Shangdao had witnessed Ding Fan's means, and it was something he truly couldn't afford to provoke.
Though Simon was shocked, he wasn't afraid.
Simon's special ability was instantaneous movement; he could use mental power to transport his body to wherever he wanted in an instant. Simon was confident that he could vanish from there before Ding Fan had the chance to kill him.
Simon then gathered his mental power...
However, to Simon's great surprise, his telekinesis suddenly didn't work; in other words, he was unable to use his special ability anymore.
"Your Special Ability is instantaneous movement. Unfortunately for you, you've met me, and you won't be going anywhere," said Ding Fan. After speaking, he swung the longsword in his hand.
Simon's right arm was directly severed by Ding Fan.
At this moment, seeing Simon surrounded, the members of the Sixth Guard Squad crowded around, but Ding Fan then pressed the tip of his sword against Simon's throat.
The members of the Sixth Guard Squad all stopped in their tracks. After all, Simon was the main person in charge of this operation, and they needed to ensure his safety.
"You... What method did you use... to suppress my Special Ability!" Simon gritted his teeth in pain, looking at Ding Fan beside him with disbelief.
The only person Simon knew could suppress others' Special Abilities was the leader of the Sixth Guard Squad, but he had not expected that a young man from Huaxia Country could do it as well.
Ding Fan had no intention of answering Simon's question. Suppressing Simon's Special Ability was actually quite simple; all he had to do was use his Divine Sense to infect the formation of Simon's mental intentions, thus preventing him from using his Special Ability. Just like that!
"Get me out of here," Ding Fan said indifferently to Simon.
Even though Ding Fan had already killed twenty or thirty members of the Sixth Guard Squad, there were still many Ability Users and Ninjas around.
Now at the Seventh Level of Qi Cultivation, Ding Fan could potentially carve a bloody path through his enemies, but taking a hostage and leaving safely was the safer option.
Simon had barely uttered a word when Ding Fan pressed down his Selfless Sword, the blade piercing the skin beneath Simon's neck and blood started flowing out immediately.
"Okay... I'll take you out," Simon conceded.
Ding Fan grabbed Simon, quickly made his way to an old truck, tossed Simon inside like a dead dog, climbed in after him, and started the vehicle.
After all, Simon was their leader, and with him in Ding Fan's hands, the surrounding members of the Sixth Guard Squad did not dare to make any rash moves.
In the eyes of these people, Ding Fan was like the Grim Reaper; they didn't doubt for a moment that if they made the wrong move, Ding Fan would definitely kill Simon.
Besides, at this point, they were more than eager for Ding Fan, a plague of a god, to leave as soon as possible...
Ding Fan started the truck and, with Simon in tow, charged through the crowd, quickly driving towards the outskirts of the city.
Jenna City was not very large to begin with, and soon Ding Fan's truck arrived at the city exit. Escorted by Simon, they encountered no issues along the way.
Even though they met with some military police when leaving the city, after Simon intervened, the officers immediately let them pass.
The Stars and Stripes Country had always been a backer of the Myanmar government forces, so the government troops treated people from The Stars and Stripes Country with great reverence.
This was also why Simon had been able to mobilize local troops earlier.
Once out of Jenna City, Ding Fan drove the vehicle into a nearby forest.
"Sir... I have brought you out as you asked. You, a person of great wisdom and courage, surely wouldn't kill a minor figure such as myself..."
Upon entering the forest, Simon became somewhat confused; this was surely the perfect place to kill someone and cover it up.
Simon remembered that Huaxia people loved to hear flattery, so he instantly lowered his posture, nodding and bowing, pouring all the complimentary idioms he knew upon Ding Fan.
Ding Fan used his Divine Sense to investigate and confirmed that indeed no one was following them.
Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief.
The events of today had been extremely perilous.
Had he not advanced to the Seventh Level of Qi Cultivation, Ding Fan would not have been able to use the Teleportation Technique to take Simon hostage.
If it had come to a fight, Ding Fan believed that even if he could break out of the encirclement, he would likely be gravely injured!
There's a saying that goes, "Even a brave tiger can be overwhelmed by a pack of wolves."
Ding Fan had indeed never planned to kill Simon; since he had taken him as a hostage, he had no intention of taking his life.
However, just as Ding Fan was about to spare Simon, he suddenly sensed a very dangerous signal.
Ding Fan always trusted his intuition and, without hesitation, used his Teleportation Technique to leave the truck.
And in the moment Ding Fan left the truck, a missile struck. The vehicle, along with Simon on board, was instantly blown to bits...
Ding Fan quickly hid his presence.
How could he not know that the missile was meant for his life? If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would probably have been blown to smithereens by the missile by now.
At this moment, Ding Fan felt even more acutely the power of the Earth's technological civilization; if his premonition hadn't been so strong, he might have been unable to avoid that missile even if he had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Poor Simon ended up being killed by his own side in the end.
Shortly after the missile strike, a helicopter flew over. After confirming the wreckage of the car, the people left once again.
Ding Fan stayed hidden without moving, waiting until the helicopter flew away. Only then did he emerge from his hiding spot and headed deeper into the forest...
