Chapter 816: Chapter 816

Ding Fan raised his hand and shot out a row of iron nails, followed by a series of sounds of objects falling on the deck outside.

Dai Qiliao used telekinesis to look outside, and those people were all shot dead by Ding Fan using the iron nails.

It should be noted that what Ding Fan shot out were just iron nails, and there was such a thick deck in between. It was purely the power of the iron penetrating the deck that achieved such an effect.

From this, it can be said that in terms of strength and accuracy, Ding Fan had reached an impressively formidable level.

After killing these people, Ding Fan closed his eyes to recuperate. It was as if he had not been the one to kill them at all.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Wu Die called the fishermen on the boat who, after receiving a sizeable payment, disposed of the bodies into the sea.

The fishing boat sailed for two hours before finally reaching the harbor.

Due to the martial arts conference ending so abruptly, many people were returning at this time, causing the port to be extremely crowded for a while.

After the fishing boat reached the dock, Ding Fan, along with Dai Qiliao, disembarked.

"Young Master Ding..." Just then, a voice rang out from the dock.

Ding Fan was momentarily stunned, and as he looked towards the source of the voice, he recognized the caller, it was Chairman Jia, Jia Yunhao, from the Longxi Auction.

Ding Fan glanced behind at Wu Die, and then he understood why Jia Yunhao was here.

Jia Yunhao and Wu Die were together, and probably Wu Die had notified Jia Yunhao once she confirmed their return journey.

However, Ding Fan didn't mind, considering the auction house had helped him several times and were practically friends as well...

After Jia Yunhao walked over, he immediately noticed Dai Qiliao next to Ding Fan.

"Senior Dai... I didn't expect to meet you here," Jia Yunhao said, greeting him with surprise.

Senior Dai was quite a figure in the Ancient Martial World and Jia Yunhao, being the chairman of the auction house, had had some interactions with him before.

Although Jia Yunhao, as the chairman of the Longxi Auction much sought after by many, Dai Qiliao showed little enthusiasm.

After a brief greeting, he turned to Ding Fan and said,

"A Land Temple is situated two miles ahead, I'll wait for you there..." As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in Dai Qiliao's eyes.

"Don't think about running away. If you don't come, I will execute everyone associated with you!"

Dai Qiliao arrogantly threw down these words and then left briskly.

Ding Fan's gaze sharpened.

Dai Qiliao really had the audacity to threaten to kill everyone connected to him.

Not for anything else, just for Dai Qiliao's these words, Ding Fan determined that he must kill Dai Qiliao.

"You guys find a place to settle Cheng Bufan and Bian Zixuan, I'll deal with Dai Qiliao and come back," Ding Fan said indifferently.

Mu Zi and the others nodded.

They knew that Dai Qiliao's cultivation was incredible. Even if they followed Ding Fan, they would only be a hindrance, unable to help much.

The best they could do at the moment was to take good care of themselves, which also constituted as helping Ding Fan.

"Young Master Ding? Have you had a dispute with Dai Qiliao?" Jia Yunhao came over, his brow furrowed.

Ding Fan nodded, acknowledging his question.

"Young Master Ding, Dai Qiliao is not someone you can afford to provoke. It is said that Dai Qiliao has even killed Heavenly Level martial artists… How did you provoke such a Demon King..." Jia Yunhao said with furrowed brows.

"Now that things have come to this, since I can't avoid it, I might as well face the battle," Ding Fan said, unconcerned, shrugging his shoulders.

"Young Master Ding... I'm going to say something you won't like. Although your talent is good and you have acquired some cultivation, you are definitely not a match for Dai Qiliao... If you really go, you are bound to be killed," Jia Yunhao advised.

Ding Fan smiled. "I will do my best..."

Jia Yunhao pondered for a moment before saying, "Young Master Ding, I still think you should take this time to escape. I will go to Jia Yunhao and plead on your behalf. I have helped Jia Yunhao sell some stuff before, after all, so I still carry some weight. Wait until his anger subsides, and he might spare you..."

Ding Fan chuckled. "Chairman Jia, do you think I, Ding Fan, am a coward? Since I have promised, I will definitely not back down. Today's battle, I must go. Thank you for your kindness, Chairman Jia, but I will handle this matter myself."

Ding Fan left these words behind, and his figure flickered, disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Young Master Ding… Young Master Ding…" Jia Yunhao still wanted to stop Ding Fan, but by now Ding Fan had long disappeared into the distance.

"Chairman, once Ding Fan has made up his mind, no one can pull him back," Wu Die commented from the side.

Jia Yunhao shook his head. "This Ding Fan... although his talent is great, this reckless temperament really needs to be curbed... it could very well cost him his life."

Wu Die gazed in the direction where Ding Fan disappeared, pondering for a moment before saying, "Chairman, what shall we do now?"

"What else can we do now? The matter has come to this, I can only shed my old face and personally plead with Dai Qiliao to spare Ding Fan..." Jia Yunhao responded.

"Chairman, let me go with you..." Wu Die said from the side.

Jia Yunhao looked at Wu Die, then nodded. "Let's go. Hopefully, we can still catch up..."

Wu Die quickly made arrangements, asking Mu Zi and Huan Er to find a nearby place to stay, and to wait until their side was settled before coming back to find them.

Mu Zi and Huan Er had no objections, and they took the two injured to find accommodations nearby. Meanwhile, Wu Die and Jia Yunhao rushed towards the place where Ding Fan and the others had agreed to fight.

The Land Temple, more than two miles away from the port.

Dai Qiliao ran wildly all the way and arrived at the Land Temple quite quickly, expecting to wait for a while before Ding Fan would catch up. Yet as soon as he steadied himself, Ding Fan was already right behind him.

Dai Qiliao was inwardly shocked.

Although he didn't use his full strength to run, the speed he had should have been impossible for ordinary people to keep up with.

Yet not only did Ding Fan keep up, but he also appeared calm and composed, with steady breaths, showing no signs of strain at all.

Dai Qiliao glanced behind Ding Fan then spoke indifferently, "Those few people who were with you didn't come? No matter, after I kill you, I will wipe them out one by one."

Ding Fan's eyebrows slightly furrowed. "Today, you'll die here; you won't have the chance to do anything else."

Dai Qiliao snorted softly, his hands behind his back. "I previously gave you the chance to kill yourself, but you didn't cherish it. From this moment, it's going to be the most painful memory of your life; I'm going to make life worse than death for you!"

Ding Fan said lightly, "Is it just your lips that are capable? If you can, come at me; if you can't, then scram!"

This attitude infuriated Dai Qiliao extremely.

Under his might, how many dared to speak to him in such a way?

"Boy, today you must die!" Dai Qiliao's figure flickered, and his right hand thrust out suddenly.

Simultaneously, a tremendous Inner Strength surged like floodwater unchained, violently smashing toward Ding Fan.

Facing such an Inner Strength attack, many would have been too terrified to speak.

Dai Qiliao wanted exactly this oppressive force, something that could crush the opponent's will.

However, contrary to expectations, Ding Fan did not show any signs of weak knees from the intimidation. Instead, he looked poised and composed.

It was completely like the demeanor of a senior practicing with a junior.

Dai Qiliao really couldn't understand why he wasn't afraid under such potent might?

Thinking this, Dai Qiliao became slightly annoyed, he gritted his teeth, vowing to tear Ding Fan apart with this strike!

At this moment, Ding Fan wasn't thinking about dodging; he also wanted to measure up this Dai Qiliao…

Right then, Ding Fan let out a long cry, and his right hand fiercely launched an Inner Strength directly.

Boom... Thunderous booms...

The two confronted each other head-on, their Inner Strengths solidly crashing together, and immediately the ground around them violently shook.

Bang, bang, bang... ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝓷𝓮𝓽

Dai Qiliao was directly forced back over a dozen steps by Ding Fan before he could stabilize his stance.

While Ding Fan, on the other side, retreated seven or eight steps.

Dai Qiliao's expression turned somber; under this clash, he had clearly been on the losing end…

At this moment, Dai Qiliao couldn't help but reassess Ding Fan before him.

In his view, Ding Fan was young, and even if his talent was incredible, he shouldn't have been a match for him. But on their first exchange, Ding Fan had already put him at a disadvantage.

Dai Qiliao's eyes turned cold.

Considering how young Ding Fan was now, barely twenty-two or three, and yet he could already contend with him so fiercely, if he were to wait until Ding Fan reached his age, then wouldn't there be no one in the world who could stop him?

"Boy, it seems I have underestimated you…"

Whoosh… Dai Qiliao now had a Soft Whip in his hand. He fiercely lashed it out.

A crisp sound rang out instantly.

Those who knew Dai Qiliao understood that there were only two instances when Dai Qiliao must kill: one is when he says he wants to kill someone, if he says kill, no matter who you are, where you are, what protection you have, he will kill.

The other is when Dai Qiliao wields a weapon.

In the Ancient Martial World, there weren't many who had seen Dai Qiliao using an Offensive Artifact, it's said that those who have seen it are already dead.

Ding Fan didn't take things lightly either; he directly took out the Nine Profound Iron from the storage ring.

Being arrogant against such a powerful opponent like Dai Qiliao is tantamount to seeking death.

"Senior Dai... please show mercy." Just then, two figures appeared in front of Ding Fan and Dai Qiliao.

Ding Fan glanced over, the ones who had hurried over were Jia Yunhao and Wu Die.

Dai Qiliao looked emotionlessly at Jia Yunhao. "Whatever it is, wait till I finish killing this person in front of me."

Ding Fan snorted coldly. "You still think too highly of yourself…"

Dai Qiliao's expression darkened, his grip tightening on the Long Whip.

"Senior Dai, this young man doesn't know any better, please don't stoop to his level, for my sake, how about you spare him this time?" Jia Yunhao said breathlessly.
