Chapter 720: Chapter 720

Ding Fan actually intercepted Hua Zhimo's Inner Strength attack with just one hand!

The people present, even though they saw it with their own eyes, still felt it was very unreal.

How old was Ding Fan anyway? At most, he was only twenty-one or twenty-two years old, and at this age, he could withstand an attack from a Heavenly Level Martial Artist.

This was simply too abnormal.

Even the venerable old man from the Songshan Sect, who was considered a living fossil in the Ancient Martial World, was stunned.

The old man from Songshan was over two hundred years old and had met many people, yet he had never seen anyone who could step into the Heavenly Level before the age of seventy.

Since Ding Fan was able to withstand that strike from Hua Zhimo, it was clear from this that Ding Fan must possess the abilities and power of the Heavenly Level.

Meanwhile, on a mountain in the distance.

Ruan Yuan shook his head in disbelief. "So he is Heavenly Level... indeed... if those geniuses in the Immortal Realm knew of this kid's existence, I wonder if they would blush..."

Hua Zhimo also looked extremely upset at this moment. "You... how is it possible..."

Perhaps due to the surprise, Hua Zhimo's words were also incoherent.

Ding Fan gently clapped his hands. "It's just that..."

Hua Zhimo's expression darkened, and being ridiculed by a young man , how could she not be angry? But she was an experienced person and quickly realized Ding Fan was deliberately trying to provoke her. She calmed down immediately.

Seeing that Hua Zhimo had managed to compose herself so quickly, Ding Fan could not help but admire her.

Although she looked very sinister, she was still very cautious in her actions.

"Send your master to rest; leave this to me," Ding Fan said to the people of Songshan Sect behind him.

Because Ding Fan had just demonstrated his skill, these people no longer had any doubts and immediately helped the old man from Songshan to rest aside.

The old man from Songshan, however, did not take his eyes off Ding Fan for a moment, as he was curious to see what else about Ding Fan would be surprising.

At that moment, Ding Fan directly took out the Nine Profound Iron from his storage ring.

Now that the Nine Profound Iron was attached with the Sword Spirit Stone, Ding Fan communicated with the Nine Profound Iron using his Divine Sense even more smoothly.

"Kid, can't you afford a Magic Artifact? You actually picked up a broken stick to use as an Offensive Artifact..." Hua Zhimo looked at the longsword in Ding Fan's hand and snorted disdainfully.

Ding Fan did not care in the least. "It's enough to take your life."

At this moment, Hua Zhimo raised the Fire Sword in her hand. "You killed two of my disciples in a row, and now you are interfering with my plans; today, I will let you die here."

Before Hua Zhimo's words fell, her figure instantly disappeared from the spot, and a gust of wind immediately enveloped several key points around Ding Fan.

Hua Zhimo figured it out clearly, given Ding Fan's young age, even if his encounters were extraordinary and his cultivation profound, his physical agility might not necessarily be exceptional.

Bear in mind, agility is something that comes with ceaseless training.

Therefore, Hua Zhimo decided to attempt a speed-kill on Ding Fan right from the start. Before Ding Fan could react, she would kill him without him even noticing.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh... Hua Zhimo's speed was indeed abnormal, and in the blink of an eye, she was already at Ding Fan's side, and in another blink, she had already launched several sword thrusts.

The old man from Songshan couldn't help but admire secretly.

Having seen many experts in the Ancient Martial World, considering Hua Zhimo's speed, not more than five in the whole Ancient Martial World could surpass her.

For a moment, the old man from Songshan started to worry for Ding Fan. Even if he were uninjured, it would still be very strenuous to cope, not to mention for Ding Fan at this moment.

Facing Hua Zhimo's rapid attack, Ding Fan was not afraid at all.

Ding Fan's Wind Pursuit Technique had already been perfected to the utmost purity, and combined with his current cultivation, it was impossible for Hua Zhimo to take advantage of him in terms of speed.

Immediately, Ding Fan began dodging back and forth under the opponent's barrage of sword beams.

The sword beams enveloped Ding Fan, making it look very perilous for him from an outsider's perspective, but Ding Fan was not merely on the defensive; once he found an opening, he launched counterattacks as well.

The two exchanged blows back and forth, and for a time, they were evenly matched! For a while, the entire Arena was filled with flashing sword shadows...

The old man from Songshan's eyes were wide open, and had he not seen it with his own eyes, even if someone else had told him, he wouldn't have believed that a man barely over twenty could fight on equal terms with a Heavenly Level powerhouse.

A kindergarten kid fighting on par with a boxing champion was something utterly astonishing.

The people from the Songshan Sect were also astonished.

This trip to the Haijiao Jungle, the old man from Songshan had brought only Earth Level Grade Seven or Eight Martial Artists, all of whom were in their sixties or seventies.

In front of these people, Ding Fan was just a child, yet what this child could achieve, these people could not...

At this moment in the Arena, Hua Zhimo's frown was getting tighter. She initially thought that speed would definitely allow her to instantly kill Ding Fan, but she did not anticipate that Ding Fan would be so troublesome.

Ding Fan's speed was not the least bit slower than hers, and his moves were very refined; several times, Hua Zhimo was nearly grievously injured by Ding Fan.

Hua Zhimo, being a person with a quick mind, knew that continuing this way, she would definitely not gain any advantage.

If speed was not effective, then it was time to use force!

Hua Zhimo wanted to force Ding Fan into clashing head-on with her. Even though Ding Fan was young and his encounters were extraordinary, he would definitely have various vulnerabilities.

At that moment, she just needed to find one of these vulnerabilities, and she could directly kill Ding Fan.

Boom… Hua Zhimo repelled Ding Fan with a Fire Sword thrust. Her moves suddenly changed, and her Fire Sword blazed furiously. The surroundings were also brightly illuminated by the sudden brilliance.

"Be careful, this witch wants to clash directly with you... do not engage her head-on!" the old man from Songshan hurriedly warned Ding Fan.

Hua Zhimo's cultivation was incredibly profound, and in terms of strength, the elder from Songshan was genuinely worried that Ding Fan would be at a disadvantage. The most update n0vels are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩

You must know, the cultivation of Inner Strength accumulates over years of persistent practice. Even if Ding Fan were exceptional, his age was still too young.

At that moment, Hua Zhimo let out a shriek, her Fire Sword directly slashing down towards Ding Fan's head.

At this time, Ding Fan did not choose to dodge.

He had heard the elder from Songshan's words just now. But having just advanced to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, Ding Fan wanted to test the extent of his cultivation, to see how much of a gap there was between him and a Heavenly Level Martial Artist, or perhaps even how much stronger he was compared to one!

Ding Fan immediately grasped the Nine Profound Iron with both hands, then channeled his True Qi into it. In an instant, the Nine Profound Iron began to glow brightly due to the infusion of True Qi.

Ding Fan then horizontally held up the Nine Profound Iron in his hands.

"Master... what... what is he doing?!" "He isn't planning to take it head-on, is he? Isn't that suicidal?" At this moment, the disciples from Songshan saw Ding Fan's intention to withstand the attack and were utterly incredulous.

Hua Zhimo struck from above downward, naturally having the advantage in both age and cultivation. Such a positional advantage additionally benefited her, leaving everyone baffled as to why Ding Fan chose to resist directly.

At this time, the Songshan elder was also gripping his fists tightly in nervousness. He muttered under his breath, "Why does he choose to resist... why..."

At this time, Ruan Yuan, standing atop a distant mountain, also wore a puzzled expression.

In Ruan Yuan's view, Ding Fan was gradually gaining the upper hand in speed. He could have slowly worn Hua Zhimo down. This method of confrontation was simply too risky.

Besides, Ruan Yuan did not hold much hope that Ding Fan could win in a direct clash against Hua Zhimo.

An old monster over a hundred years old, their cultivation was exceedingly formidable. After all, Ding Fan was still too young...

Hua Zhimo, seeing Ding Fan withstand the attack head-on, slightly curled her lips, already certain of her victory. With the advantage in momentum, power, and support...

From any perspective, she was bound to win.

Hua Zhimo's Fire Sword already came crashing down in the blink of an eye.

The scorching flames carried powerful Inner Strength and struck down fiercely, eventually hammering onto the Nine Profound Iron held up by Ding Fan.

Boom... Rumble... rumbling...

The earth itself began to tremble. The surrounding sand and stones suddenly rose.

Although the elder from Songshan and his disciples were far away, the residual force of the Inner Strength still buffeted their cheeks, causing them to feel waves of rising heat.

At this moment, looking towards the arena, it was foggy and dusty. Inside the arena, not even a single silhouette was visible.

From a distance, atop mountains kilometers away, Ruan Yuan looked increasingly anxious.

Nearby, the faces of the people from Songshan turned grave. The moment of decisive victory or defeat was upon them.

A gust of wind blew past, and the dust in the air was swept away by the breeze. Gradually, people could see more clearly inside the arena.

At this moment, inside the arena, two figures stood facing each other.

"Master, who won?" At this time, a Songshan disciple couldn't help but ask the old man from Songshan.

However, the Songshan elder did not respond but continued to silently observe the situation within the arena.

"I still underestimated you," Hua Zhimo was the first to speak.

Ding Fan shook his head slightly. "You didn't underestimate me, you overestimated yourself."

Hua Zhimo studied Ding Fan for a moment, then turned and vanished before everyone's eyes after several flickers of her form.

The people of Songshan looked at each other, finding the whole situation too difficult to understand. They couldn't tell who had won or lost.

Suddenly, Ding Fan, who was standing there, spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Yet, he still supported himself with the Nine Profound Iron, not letting himself fall.

The elder from Songshan shook his head in disbelief.

Although Hua Zhimo left seemingly uninjured, nothing could escape the elder's keen eyes.

She was merely holding back from vomiting blood.

That full-force clash had resulted in no clear winner!

Young as he was, Ding Fan had managed to repel the Heavenly Level, Second Grade Martial Artist, Hua Zhimo...

The Songshan elder looked at Ding Fan, thinking of his own age when he was Ding Fan's age, probably not even having reached Earth Level, while Ding Fan had already managed to repel a Second Grade Heavenly Level Martial Artist like Hua Zhimo.

If he waited until Ding Fan reached his age...

Thinking of this, the Songshan elder felt a chill run down his spine.

If Ding Fan continued cultivating at this pace, perhaps he might reach a new height never seen before.

Twenty-two or twenty-three years old! The potential for future growth was simply too vast!

At this moment, Ruan Yuan, watching from tens of kilometers away, slightly smiled. "This young man is indeed interesting..."

After uttering those words, Ruan Yuan's figure disappeared from the mountain ridge.

"Don't delay in helping him over here," the Songshan elder then urgently told his disciples nearby.

Only then did the Songshan disciples react and hurriedly went over to assist Ding Fan.
