Chapter 806: Chapter 806

Dai Qiliao didn't stay with Ding Fan for too long before leaving.

After sending off Dai Qiliao, Huan Er left early to rest after dropping a line, "Do not forget the previous promise."

Tomorrow would be the fourth round of the martial arts competition, with only sixteen competitors left. Huan Er also pondered if she could continue to strive further; even if she could not compete for the championship, making it to the finals would be, in her eyes, an adequate way to repay Chen Yuanyuan for her years of guidance and teaching.

The four girls were not as boisterously mischievous as they were yesterday, with the exception of Mu Zi since the rest had to participate in the fourth round of the competition.

Having nothing to do, Ding Fan came outside the main tent, with no one around and cherishing the rare solitude, he wanted to still his mind.

Just as Ding Fan strolled by the seaside for a short while, a shadow swiftly darted into the distance.

The person's figure was exceedingly fast, but Ding Fan's Divine Sense was remarkable; with just that brief contact, Ding Fan had already ascertained that the fleeing figure was Qi Changran.

The sky had darkened, and Qi Changran was moving alone. Ding Fan, having no good intentions, immediately followed in pursuit...

Qi Changran's speed was indeed swift, and soon he reached a dense forest.

"Master, you have finally arrived..."

As soon as Qi Changran landed, Guo Ziyu approached him from nearby.

"How are the preparations?" Qi Changran asked with concern to Guo Ziyu standing next to him.

"Master, rest assured, everything has been taken care of," Guo Ziyu answered earnestly.

"Good, let's go have a look."

Under Guo Ziyu's lead and with Qi Changran following behind, the two of them cautiously made their way to a wind-sheltered massive boulder.

By this massive boulder, two men were laid out.

Clearly, both men had their Acupoints sealed, but although they couldn't move their bodies, they were still able to blink their eyes. From this, it could be seen that both men were still conscious.

These two were not just anyone; they were none other than Dong Fangshuo, whose arms had previously been severed by Ding Fan, and Gu Mingfeng, whose every bone had been broken by Ding Fan.

When the two men saw Qi Changran approach, they desperately attempted to move, but the Acupoints sealed on their bodies left them entirely immobilized.

"Master, these two have become invalids, so it didn't take much effort to capture and bring them back," Guo Ziyu spoke indifferently to Qi Changran.

Qi Changran nodded as he looked at Dong Fangshuo and Gu Mingfeng. "Zi Yu, do you know why I specifically wanted to capture these two?"

Guo Ziyu glanced at the two men, thought for a moment, then nodded slightly. "Disciple doesn't know, please enlighten me, Master."

Qi Changran smiled faintly. "Previously, Ding Fan had a conflict with these two. They were severely injured all thanks to Ding Fan's doing. If these two were to be killed on Serpent Island now, who do you think everyone would suspect first?"

After pondering for a moment, Guo Ziyu's eyebrows lifted. "Disciple understands, these two have offended Ding Fan, and anyone would think that it was Ding Fan who killed them..."

Qi Changran nodded in satisfaction. "Exactly. We want everyone to view Ding Fan with hostility..."

Guo Ziyu pondered and then said, "But Master, how does this help with the Martial Arts Convention?"

Qi Changran looked at Guo Ziyu and said, "The help is indeed substantial. In the first round, that youngster lifted 45,000 pounds, and it can be said he is now the most likely candidate to win the Martial Arts Convention..."

After hearing Qi Changran's words, Guo Ziyu nodded.

Indeed, the clamor for Ding Fan to win the championship was truly loud.

"And if these two were to go missing, as long as we fan the flames then, under the speculation of thousands, the organizers will have to consider whether they should allow Ding Fan to continue competing in the Martial Arts Venue..."

After Qi Changran finished speaking, Guo Ziyu suddenly realized the implication.

"Disciple understands now, this convention is a grand event for the Immortal Sect to recruit disciples. If Ding Fan is seen as a vengeful and narrow-minded person, then no matter how high his cultivation is, the Immortal Sect would never accept him..."

Qi Changran nodded. "Son-in-law, all of my actions are for your sake. Without this Ding Fan, your future will be bright..."

At being addressed as son-in-law by Qi Changran, Guo Ziyu immediately knelt down with a thud.

"With the Sect Leader treating me so well, how could I not repay you with my life? As long as the Sect Leader commands, I am willing to go through fire and water..."

After Guo Ziyu finished speaking, he sincerely began to kowtow on the ground.

"Alright, Zi Yu." After Guo Ziyu finished kowtowing, Qi Changran continued, "The cultivation power of these two isn't weak, both at the Earth Level Sixth or Seventh Grade. Absorb their power for yourself; you must perform well tomorrow!"

Guo Ziyu turned to look at Gu Mingfeng and Dong Fangshuo, who were lying limp on the ground, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a greedy gleam found only in wolves.

The two men, Dong Fangshuo and Gu Mingfeng, were terrified and tried to cry out, but because their Acupoints had been sealed, they couldn't utter a single word.

"Here is the latter part of the Soul Absorbing Technique. Practice well according to its content, and with the power absorbed from these two, you will surely make considerable progress," Qi Changran said while handing several sheets of paper to Guo Ziyu.

Guo Ziyu reverently received the Cultivation Technique from Qi Changran's hands.

"Alright, I shall take my leave," Qi Changran said and then turned away, no longer paying attention to Guo Ziyu beside him.

Seeing Qi Changran leave, Guo Ziyu approached Gu Mingfeng and Dong Fangshuo.

However, Guo Ziyu didn't rush to practice on the two immediately; he simply opened the papers given to him by Qi Changran and studied the content attentively.

About half an hour passed before Guo Ziyu put away those papers and then walked straight towards the two men.

"Being able to be used for my practice, today can also be considered your good fortune!"

After saying that, Guo Ziyu's hands were performing different Finger Gestures.

Dong Fangshuo and Gu Mingfeng were sprawling on the ground, at this moment they were anxiously whimpering…

But this was the most secluded place on Serpent Island, where no one would come all year round, so even though Dong Fangshuo and Gu Mingfeng were anxious, they also understood that today, they probably really couldn't escape their dire plight…

"Roar…" And at this moment, a thunderous roar came from the side.

It was the roar of a Yuan Beast, accompanied by a fishy smell and brimming with murderous aura… The rıghtful source is 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⁂𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⁂𝓷𝓮𝓽

Guo Ziyu turned to look, and he was immediately stunned by the sight before him.

At that moment, a gorilla Guardian, about two meters tall, was standing in front of him.

The Guardian had a huge frame, sharp fangs, a body full of muscles, and blood-red eyes... Just looking at it was enough to send chills down one's spine…

After being startled, Guo Ziyu quickly calmed his emotions.

"Monstrous beast, seeking death!" Guo Ziyu immediately launched a Wind Blade Attack.

Whoosh… The Wind Blade whistled through the air, aiming straight for the gorilla's chest.

It was as if the Guardian had Spiritual Communication; before Guo Ziyu's Wind Blade Attack even reached it, the Guardian flash-dodged, and the Wind Blade swiftly passed by its body.

Once the Guardian had dodged Guo Ziyu's Wind Blade Attack, it turned around and directly threw a Fireball.

The Fireball immediately blasted towards Guo Ziyu.

Guo Ziyu looked at the Fireball dumbfounded; the Guardian was even able to cast the Fireball Technique...

There was a time when Guo Ziyu had heard his master say that the Immortal Sect was adept at raising spiritual beasts of astonishing combat power and jaw-dropping intelligence.

For a moment, Guo Ziyu wondered, could this Guardian be a Spiritual Pet of an Immortal...

If this Guardian was indeed a Spiritual Pet of an Immortal, if one were to injure it, wouldn't the sin be enormous...

While Guo Ziyu was deep in thought, the Guardian moved again and swiftly closed in on him, then threw a fierce punch that roared down.

Worried that the Guardian could be a Spiritual Pet of an Immortal, Guo Ziyu had long lost any will to fight, and so without paying any further attention to Dong Fangshuo and Gu Mingfeng beside him, he leapt away, quickly vanishing into the vast night.

Dong Fangshuo and Gu Mingfeng, looking at the two-meter-tall Guardian before them, felt as though their hearts were dying.

Now good, they had just rid themselves of a financial wolf, only to have a tiger come upon them...

This massive Guardian, it wouldn't start tearing them apart into shreds, would it...

And just when Dong Fangshuo and Gu Mingfeng thought they were certainly doomed, a figure appeared in front of the Guardian.

The Guardian, in the blink of an eye, turned into two streaks of light and then returned to that person's shoulder. Once they got a clear view, it turned out to be just two little spirit pets...

When the two recognized the newcomer's face, they were both startled. Who else could it be but Ding Fan, but how could Ding Fan possibly appear here?

"Alright, there's nothing for you guys here," Ding Fan said to his little spirit pets, Zizi and Duorou.

It was Zizi and Duorou, the two little spirit pets, that had cooperated to transform into that two-meter-tall Guardian. At this time, Duorou already had the Cultivation Power of Seventh Grade, and after it and Zizi transformed into the Guardian, they were not something ordinary people could recognize.

Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, the two spiritual beasts didn't delay any further and obediently went back to their Small World...

Ding Fan glanced at Dong Fangshuo and Gu Mingfeng, who had their Acupoints sealed on the ground, then waved his right hand, and a gust of wind directly released their Acupoints.

"If you don't want to die, cooperate properly," Ding Fan said indifferently...

Early in the morning, a piece of news spread throughout the entire Serpent Island.

Mysterious Sword Sect and members of Fenghuo Gate, more than a dozen each, were all cleanly murdered overnight...

As soon as the news spread, everyone was shocked.

Let alone on Serpent Island, even elsewhere, the death of over thirty Martial Artists in one go was definitely a big deal...

For a time, everyone was in panic; although no one spoke, they all knew in their hearts that this was a Martial Arts Venue organized by the Immortal Sect, and someone had dared to kill right at the doorstep of the Immortals. Wasn't this a blatant provocation?

And the organizers of the Serpent Island Martial Arts Venue, once they received the news, also quickly took action, that was to seal off the entire Serpent Island. None of the islanders were allowed to leave.

Furthermore, they called all the people on the island to the Martial Arts Venue.

There were over nine hundred participants in this Martial Arts competition, and with those accompanying them, there were two to three thousand people. In no time, all these people impressively gathered at the Martial Arts Venue.

"Who could be so cruel, to kill more than thirty people from Fenghuo Gate and Mysterious Sword Sect in one go..."

"This person is simply a fiend..."...

As the organizers had not yet arrived, people whispered to each other.
