Chapter 769: Chapter 769

A Wind Blade from Ding Fan directly severed Guo Ai's right arm, and the latter immediately writhed in pain on the ground…

Zhou Wuji's expression darkened beside him.

From the moment Ding Fan appeared, Zhou Wuji had never underestimated him, even though he had previously slandered him verbally; he knew that Ding Fan definitely had strength.

In one breath, Ding Fan released three Wind Blades and was able to appear instantaneously beside Sun Qi…

Based just on these two points, they were feats that even Zhou Wuji found difficult to achieve.

"Elder Zhou, avenge me…" Guo Ai writhed on the ground, calling out to Zhou Wuji, "You dare harm me, the Earth Dragon Sect will not let you go."

Just as Guo Ai hadn't finished speaking, another Wind Blade directly slashed over.

A surge of blood suddenly shot up; Guo Ai let out another agonizing scream.

"My left arm…ah…hurts…hurts so much…"

At that moment, Ding Fan had also severed Guo Ai's arm, and he continuously writhed on the ground.

"Trading honor for mercy, if it weren't for the plan to hand you over to the Hundred Herbs Sect later, I would have slain you on the spot… Dare to spout nonsense again, and I will directly chop off your legs."

Ding Fan spoke indifferently, but his voice carried a chilling murderous intent.

Ding Fan's two Wind Blades had all slashed in front of Zhou Wuji, now Guo Ai realized that Zhou Wuji simply couldn't protect him.

At that moment, Guo Ai dared not say another word and just lay quietly on the ground…

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh… At that moment, several Wind Blades without warning directly slashed towards Ding Fan.

"Master, be careful…" Sun Qi, seeing clearly, realized that Zhou Wuji took the opportunity to launch a sudden sneak attack while Ding Fan was distracted.

But it was already too late when Sun Qi warned him; those Wind Blades had already exploded near Ding Fan in the blink of an eye.

Boom, boom, boom… In an instant, several Wind Blades turned the area where Ding Fan had been standing into a cloud of dust.

At that moment, the corners of Zhou Wuji's mouth slightly curled up.

The Wind Blades had already reached near Ding Fan, and he hadn't even made a move to dodge; with that, even if Ding Fan didn't die, he would certainly be gravely injured.

But just when Zhou Wuji thought he had seriously injured Ding Fan with his own Wind Blades, he suddenly felt a tightness around his neck.

Zhou Wuji was startled; his Telekinesis was extremely strong. If someone was behind him, he would have known in advance. How could it be that he felt nothing when his neck was grabbed?

Just as Zhou Wuji was about to resist, he suddenly felt a powerful force rushing into his body. In an instant, all the Acupoints in his body were sealed by the True Qi.

Zhou Wuji found himself unable to move at all.

"Who is it?" Zhou Wuji's eyes now showed terror.

He was genuinely scared. After all, he was a Martial Artist at the peak of the Earth Level, but in the hands of this person, he felt like a mere chicken…

Could it be a Heavenly Level powerhouse?

"But it's merely you…" At that moment, Ding Fan's faint voice came from behind Zhou Wuji.

This voice? ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝕟𝕖𝕥

Zhou Wuji's eyes widened considerably; he recognized that this voice was Ding Fan's.

Zhou Wuji had clearly seen Ding Fan standing in front of him, and when his Wind Blade was about to hit, Ding Fan hadn't reacted at all.

How could it be that in the blink of an eye, Ding Fan had appeared behind him…

It was just like Instantaneous Movement. This was beyond Zhou Wuji's understanding.

At that moment, Ding Fan, as if he were carrying a chicken, directly held Zhou Wuji in his hand.

At this moment, the mighty Earth Level Martial Artist was like a chicken with no ability to resist in Ding Fan's hands.

"Sun Qi, ask your senior brother how this man should be dealt with," Ding Fan said indifferently to Sun Qi by his side.

By now, Sun Qi was already dumbfounded.

Sun Qi knew Ding Fan was very awesome, very incredible, but he really hadn't expected his master to be awe-inspiring to this extent.

Zhou Wuji was a peak existence at the Earth Level, and yet such an impressive figure had been seamlessly and easily captured by Ding Fan in one move…

At this moment, it was not just Sun Qi, but Bai Fangqi beside him was also dumbfounded.

No matter what, Bai Fangqi was a Heavenly Level Martial Artist, but even he couldn't capture Zhou Wuji in one move like Ding Fan, especially since Zhou Wuji was an elder of the Earth Dragon Sect…

Previously, when Sun Qi called Ding Fan 'Master', Bai Fangqi found it strange, but now, having witnessed Ding Fan's skills, Bai Fangqi understood that this young man indeed deserved to be Sun Qi's master…

"Junior brother Sun Qi… this man has slaughtered over a hundred of our Sect Disciples. Personally take his life to avenge our Sect Disciples," Bai Fangqi said to Sun Qi beside him.

Sun Qi did not hesitate, his hand gripping the longsword.

A stroke of the sword passed, and Zhou Wuji's throat was directly severed.

To the very end, Zhou Wuji probably never imagined he would die such a death…

Thud... Ding Fan casually tossed the corpse onto the ground.

"Sun... Uncle Master Sun... Don't kill me, everything was my fault before, I didn't mean to side with the Earth Dragon Sect, I just thought about infiltrating inside the Earth Dragon Sect first, and then... then... thinking of ways to rebuild the Hundred Herbs Sect..."

Guo Ai, standing aside, hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

The mighty Elder of the Earth Dragon Sect was so easily and simply killed by the opponent.

Guo Ai knew his current predicament, there was absolutely no way Sun Qi would spare him, now he could only spout nonsense, weep and wail, and see if he could obtain forgiveness.

"Do you think I can believe what you're saying?" Sun Qi held his longsword horizontally with a murderous look in his eyes.

If it hadn't been for Ding Fan arriving just in time, he, Sun Qi, would have been trapped and perished within the Imprisonment Array, and all of it was designed by this Guo Ai.

Now, Sun Qi wished he could thrust his sword through Guo Ai's chest.

"Wait..." Just then, Bai Fangqi, who was nearby, spoke up.

As the Sect Leader spoke, Sun Qi couldn't not listen.

"Sect Leader, I really made a mistake, my heart is still with the Hundred Herbs Sect, I beg you, please spare me, I know I was wrong...wuu wuu... I really know I was wrong..." Though Guo Ai's both hands were severed by Ding Fan, in order to save his life, he still struggled to kneel down, then while crying profusely, he kowtowed to Bai Fangqi.

Bai Fangqi simply ignored him, continuing to speak, "Now, I ask you, where are all the captured disciples of the Hundred Herbs Sect currently?"

Guo Ai hurriedly raised his head and said, "I know, I know, they are being held in Nanfeng Mountain... I can take you there... I'm still useful, don't kill me."

"What are they doing at Nanfeng Mountain?" Sun Qi asked at this point.

Sun Qi vaguely remembered that the area around Nanfeng Mountain was treacherous, surrounded by mountains with very few trees. What was the purpose of keeping the disciples of the Hundred Herbs Sect there?

"Uncle Master Sun, I've told you everything I know, just please let me go, I'm just a minor character, everything I did was just to survive, please consider me as nothing and let me go."

Guo Ai begged for mercy.

"You have no bargaining power, if you don't speak, I can just finish you off right now," Ding Fan bluntly stated.

"Alright, alright... I'll speak... I'll speak..." Guo Ai understood.

This Ding Fan was extremely ruthless, he was definitely the type of person who would do exactly what he said.

"At Nanfeng Mountain, it's not only the disciples of the Hundred Herbs Sect, but also some other people captured by the Earth Dragon Sect, and these people are all helping the Earth Dragon Sect dig for treasures."

Ding Fan's eyes lit up—could it be a Spirit Stone Vein?

"What treasure?" Sun Qi asked.

"The exact type of treasure wasn't specified by the people of the Earth Dragon Sect, but all the experts of Earth Dragon Sect are now at Nanfeng Mountain, and I heard that the Old Sect Leader of Earth Dragon Sect, who never shows himself, has also appeared. There are two Heavenly Level experts..."

With such a lineup, even if it wasn't a vein, in Ding Fan's eyes, it would definitely be a treasure among treasures.

"Sect Leader, Uncle Master Sun, I've told you everything I know, please... let me go."

"Kill him," Bai Fangqi said to Sun Qi nearby.

Sun Qi didn't delay; his longsword directly stabbed forward, piercing through the chest of Guo Ai, who widened his eyes in disbelief, and his body heavily fell to the ground.

"Thank you, senior, for saving my life..."

After slaying Guo Ai, Bai Fangqi then managed to sit up with difficulty, holding a martial salute towards Ding Fan saying.

Since Sun Qi addressed him as Master, Bai Fangqi could only refer to him as a senior.

"Thank you, Master..." At this moment, Sun Qi was also busy holding a salute and thanking him.

Ding Fan casually accepted it.

After the two finished their salutations and thanks, Ding Fan then continued to ask, "What are your plans next?"

Bai Fangqi frowned slightly, then said, "There are still more than twenty disciples of the Hundred Herbs Sect held by the Earth Dragon Sect at Nanfeng Mountain. As the Sect Leader of the Hundred Herbs Sect, I cannot just watch our Sect Disciples suffer outside... I must rescue them."

Sun Qi also nodded, "We can't just watch the disciples of the Hundred Herbs Sect suffer at the hands of others."

Ding Fan pondered for a moment, then looked at Bai Fangqi and said, "Your Inner Strength has been sealed. You and Sun Qi going to Nanfeng Mountain now would just be like lambs entering the tiger's den, it would be meaningless."

Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, Bai Fangqi was taken aback, really not understanding how Ding Fan could tell that his Inner Strength was sealed.

To know, that sealing technique of Inner Strength was unique to the Earth Dragon Sect, specially used to solidify others' Inner Strength, rendering them unable to use their Cultivation Power. Without being able to use Cultivation Power, they would be as good as disabled.

"Senior, you know my Inner Strength is sealed?" Bai Fangqi asked, puzzled.

Sun Qi said, "Sect Leader Brother, you might not know, my master is a very formidable person, capable of refining Fifth Grade Pills... spotting a sealed Inner Strength is nothing to him."

Actually, what Sun Qi was referring to was Ding Fan's performance at the auction where he indeed could only refine Fifth Grade Pills at that time, but now things were different. Ding Fan could completely refine Seventh Grade Pills now...

But still, having heard this, Bai Fangqi still showed a look of amazed.

Pills above Grade Two were treasures, usually in the black market, Grade Three Pills were priceless, but now Ding Fan was actually capable of refining Fifth Grade ones, how could Bai Fangqi not be surprised.

"Senior, since you can tell that my Inner Strength has been sealed, then do you have a way to undo that sealing and restore my Inner Strength?" Bai Fangqi seriously asked.

Now Bai Fangqi had many things to do, and without Inner Strength, he wouldn't be able to do anything.

Ding Fan calmly said, "I could try, but it will involve enduring unbearable pain... Can you withstand it?"

Bai Fangqi nodded, "Senior, I can!"
