Chapter 716: Chapter 716

In the eyes of Scar-face, Ding Fan and Sun Qi were just two individuals, while they were four people, and none of their cultivations were weak. Ding Fan and Sun Qi could not possibly win no matter what.

Without further delay, Scar-face and his three companions, along with Qin Jingguo, stepped out of the cave.

By this time, Ding Fan and Sun Qi had already taken their stance on the spacious ground at the mouth of the cave.

"Master, let me go first," Sun Qi said to Ding Fan with great respect.

After all, Sun Qi was a disciple, and now that a conflict had arisen, it was natural for him as the disciple to step forward first.

Upon hearing Sun Qi's words, Scar-face and his companions were all taken aback. In their eyes, Ding Fan was very young, so they assumed that Ding Fan was Sun Qi's disciple.

However, as soon as Sun Qi opened his mouth, he addressed Ding Fan as his master, which was certainly surprising to them.

"I don't need you to deal with them. I alone am enough," Ding Fan said indifferently.

When Ding Fan was at the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation, he already possessed the capability to defeat Earth Level peak Martial Artists. Now, having advanced two grades to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, a few Earth Level peak Martial Artists were indeed no longer a challenge for him.

Seeing Ding Fan speak so, Sun Qi didn't say anything further and stood obediently behind Ding Fan.

Now that Ding Fan had said he could handle it, Sun Qi did not doubt him at all and actually admired him very much.

"Kid, you're acting like a bull with a swollen nose, acting like you're the big deal. You think you can take on the four of us alone? I don't need the others; I alone am enough to take care of you," Scar-face declared.

An elder with long hair, holding a longsword upside down, stepped forward towards Ding Fan.

A brief sweep of his Divine Sense revealed that the cultivator before him was of Grade Eight Earth Level, just one grade shy of Earth Level peak.

Ding Fan didn't bother with idle talk with the long-haired elder and simply waved his right hand.

Swish, swish, swish, swish... In an instant, the air was filled with the shrill sound of Wind Blades slashing through the air.

The long-haired man, along with his two companions behind him, were all cut down by Ding Fan's Wind Blades, leaving chunks of flesh scattered all over the ground. The only ones left standing were Scar-face and Qin Jingguo on the side.

The Wind Blades that Ding Fan had launched were so concentrated that, it should be known, not even an Earth Level peak Martial Artist could send out so many Wind Blades at once.

Condensing Inner Strength into blades required robust Inner Strength to do, and Scar-face, as an Earth Level peak Martial Artist, needed to recover after launching one Wind Blade before he could throw another.

Even if Scar-face forced himself, he could release two Wind Blades at once, but he really could not, like Ding Fan, launch at least a dozen Wind Blades in one move.

Perhaps only a few of those at the Heavenly Level could achieve that feat.

Scar-face, looking at the twenty-something-year-old Ding Fan, was filled with fear in his eyes.

Ding Fan hadn't killed Scar-face along with the others not because he couldn't, but because Ding Fan still had questions to ask.

The Wind Blades that Ding Fan had just thrown were impossible to dodge with their level of cultivation.

"I have questions for you. What are you doing bringing Old Master Qin here to Haijiao?" Ding Fan asked calmly, yet without hiding his killing intent.

Scar-face hesitated for a moment.

At that moment, another Wind Blade came slashing by. Scar-face instantly felt a chill in his arm and when he looked, his right arm had already been severed by Ding Fan.

Scar-face was furious.

He had merely hesitated for an instant, yet the opponent, without any hesitation, had directly cut off his arm. This was practically not taking him, an Earth Level peak Martial Artist, seriously at all.

However, after his initial outrage, Scar-face's expression grew stern.

No matter how it was put, Scar-face considered himself an Earth Level peak expert. On a normal day, even if someone attempted to ambush him, he would instinctively react.

But just now, how Ding Fan had cut off his arm, he hadn't reacted at all. He had completely failed to perceive what the other party had done.

If Ding Fan had aimed for his head instead of his arm, he wouldn't have his life to speak of at this moment.

"Why did you find Old Master Qin and come to this jungle in Haijiao?" Ding Fan repeated the question with the same calm tone.

"We came here treasure hunting. Qin Jingguo... no, that's not right... When Old Master Qin was young, he had been here and had quite an experience. After hearing about it, I invited Old Master Qin to come here..."

At that moment, Scar-face was quick to reveal everything he knew.

Scar-face was genuinely worried that if he spoke too slowly, Ding Fan might sever something else with another Wind Blade.

Ding Fan was quite satisfied with Scar-face's current attitude. "Tell me everything you know."

"Yes, yes, I'll tell you everything. I've read the memoir that Old Master Qin wrote. When he was young, he led troops here to Haijiao, and he discovered a strange phenomenon here. Old Master Qin described how multicolored lights repeatedly appeared in the sky above the jungle, forming a massive 'mountain' character in the air... "

A "mountain" character?!

Although Ding Fan maintained an unruffled demeanor, his eyes had already widened considerably.

Ding Fan had searched for a long time without finding that "mountain" character. He had checked every part of the jungle's terrain, yet he found no trace of the "mountain" character.

Now that Scar-face mentioned it, it seemed that Old Master Qin, Qin Jingguo, must know the location of that mountain character.

At this moment, Scar-face continued. "When I saw this memory record, I guessed that there must be a legacy left by an Ancient Martial Sage here, and the seven-colored light of the mountain character must be implying some mystery. In addition to the recent strange phenomena in Haijiao, my belief has only strengthened, and then... we invited Old Master Qin to come."

Hearing this, Ding Fan nodded his head. What Scar-face said did make sense.

"I really didn't lie to you, after we invited Old Master Qin, we were always very courteous. There was absolutely no corporal punishment or persecution. I beg you to let me off this time, friend. If there's ever anything I can do for you in the future, please don't hesitate to ask!" Scar-face hurriedly said.

Scar-face was no fool; he knew his own level. If he truly wanted to fight Ding Fan to the death, in the end, the fish would certainly die, but the net - the other person, wouldn't break.

Given how the other person single-handedly killed three Earth Level Experts in one breath, how could his cultivation be weak? So now, the smartest move was to beg for mercy from Ding Fan.

After listening to Scar-face, Ding Fan snorted coldly. "You do have a way with words. If you really treated Old Master Qin properly, then how could you have possibly planted a Gu Insect in his body?"

Old Master Qin's body was infected with a Gu Insect - with Ding Fan's powerful Divine Sense, how could such a thing go unnoticed?

Scar-face was startled; he had not expected Ding Fan to know about the Gu Insect in Old Master Qin's body.

"I... I... that... about the Gu Insect..." For a moment Scar-face was at a loss for words.

Ding Fan didn't bother to waste any more words with Scar-face. He flicked his Wind Blade and before Scar-face could even react, he was decapitated by Ding Fan's Wind Blade.

At this sight, the onlooking Sun Qi was already dumbfounded.

Four Earth Level Experts, with the weakest among them at Earth Level Grade Eight, including one at the Peak of Earth Level.

In front of Ding Fan, these four formidable Martial Artists were helpless. Ding Fan killed three of them with a single strike of his Wind Blade Technique. The last one had lost the will to fight and was behaving properly...

Seeing this, Sun Qi looked over to Ding Fan, his determination to follow him and to take him as his master grew even stronger in his heart.

Ding Fan then walked up to Old Master Qin.

"Stand still, I'm going to rid your body of the Gu Insect," Ding Fan said to Qin Jingguo.

Knowing the severity of the situation, Qin Jingguo obediently stood still without any resistance.

Ding Fan immediately took out Silver Needles from his storage ring. Seeing that Ding Fan was about to use acupuncture, Sun Qi urgently widened his eyes.

This was simply the best opportunity to learn.

He finally got to witness a master's skills in action...

Ding Fan's right hand swiftly grabbed three Silver Needles, and without hesitation, he inserted them into several of Old Master Qin's major acupoints.

Thrusting three Silver Needles, and with both force and precision perfectly on point, Sun Qi couldn't help but marvel in amazement.

After sticking the Silver Needles in, Ding Fan extended his thumb and forefinger and lightly twisted on each of the needles. Latest content publıshed on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵

Suddenly, the three Silver Needles vibrated continuously, making a buzzing sound. Subsequently, threads of blood appeared under the skin where the Silver Needles were inserted.

Seeing this, Qin Jingguo's eyes widened in shock.

Qin Jingguo was no stranger to the world; he had experienced acupuncture before, but he had never seen a technique like Ding Fan's.

Although Qin Jingguo was not a medical expert, just by watching, he knew that Ding Fan's technique was extremely skilled and impressive.

Laymen watch the excitement while professionals watch the technique. As Sun Qi watched, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. The technique Ding Fan was using, he had seen it mentioned in ancient texts.

This method was called the Four Symbols Divine Needle!

However, that ancient book only briefly mentioned it, and to date, no one practices the Four Symbols Divine Needle; it was considered to be a lost art.

And yet, Ding Fan was using the Four Symbols Divine Needle as soon as he started... Sun Qi was absolutely captivated.

After activating the three Silver Needles, Ding Fan transformed his right hand into a palm and then directly struck Qin Jingguo's back with his palm.

With a spewing sound...

As Ding Fan's palm hit Qin Jingguo's back, Qin Jingguo spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Among the blood that was spat out was a large clump of clotted blood, and within it seemed to be a living creature. After a few movements, a white, plump, and chubby Gu Insect appeared right in front of both Qin Jingguo and Sun Qi.

The Gu Insect was forced out in just a few moments...

Although it was a shocking event, after witnessing so many of Ding Fan's incredible feats, Sun Qi felt that this was nothing too surprising.

Ding Fan promptly collected all the Silver Needles from Qin Jingguo's body.

After collecting the Silver Needles, Ding Fan also gave a Pill to Qin Jingguo. Having just been implanted with a Gu Insect, his body was quite weak, so it needed some conditioning.

As Sun Qi watched Ding Fan give the Pill to Qin Jingguo, he was once again astonished...

The Pill that Ding Fan gave to Qin Jingguo was actually a Second Grade Foundation Building Pill...
