Chapter 870: Chapter 870

"Father, save me…" Wang Ming, seeing this, pleaded weakly towards Jiu Shan by his side.

Wang Ming knew clearly that if a melee broke out, his life wouldn't be guaranteed.

Jiu Shan didn't even give Wang Ming a glance. "Kill them!"

Having his arm chopped off by Ding Fan in front of so many people, Jiu Shan's face couldn't be more humiliated; enraged, he couldn't care less about Wang Ming's life or death.

Whoosh whoosh... Instantly, the people from the Upper Xuan Sect drew their longswords, and several figures dashed forward to attack.

At that moment, sword shadows flitted about, and the killing intent was chilling…

At this time, Jiu Shan gritted his teeth as he watched Ding Fan and his group being surrounded, wishing for them to be dismembered by thousands of blades!

The Upper Xuan Sect had more than a dozen disciples, including over ten Earth Level Experts and four at the Earth Level Peak; Jiu Shan didn't believe that Ding Fan and his group could escape unscathed from such a lineup. In his view, Ding Fan and his party were undoubtedly doomed.

At that moment, a thunderous noise suddenly erupted, violently shaking the ground. The skies changed colors, and an unparalleled killing aura surged forth; even Jiu Shan, standing far away as an observer, felt a chill crawl up his back.

Squeak... A sharp, heaven-shaking sound suddenly arose.

Instantly, a mist of blood dispersed between heaven and earth, followed by a slow fall of blood rain.

Jiu Shan was momentarily shocked by the scene in front of him.

Dozens of Upper Xuan Sect disciples were almost instantly cut in half, their blood and internal organs scattered everywhere, the scene before them resembling an Asura hell.

"How... how is this possible?" Jiu Shan said with an incredulous expression.

At that moment, Ye Tianshi was standing in front of Ding Fan, the one who just delivered that thunderous strike.

Ye Tianshi's gaze was fierce, and his killing aura was intense, resembling an Asura from hell.

Dozens of martial artists, all slain by a single move; even if it were dozens of pigs, it would take some time to kill them, yet the opponent had decimated them all in mere minutes!

"Those who are unyielding and unafraid of death, come forth!" Ye Tianshi said in a dark tone.

The surviving members of Upper Xuan Sect, at this moment, where did they find the courage to continue fighting? Given the power demonstrated, stepping forward would only mean instant death for them.

At this time, Jiu Shan didn't even know what to say, Ye Tianshi's prowess had exceeded his understanding.

"Hand over Zhou Ruoran, or else I will annihilate your Upper Xuan Sect!" Ye Tianshi stated calmly.

If this statement had been made before Ye Tianshi took action, people would think he was boasting, as the Upper Xuan Sect was the leader of a righteous sect in the Ancient Martial World.

But now, not a single person dared to doubt Ye Tianshi's words; he definitely had the combat capability.

"Such arrogance, the Upper Xuan Sect is not a place for you to run wild!" Just then, a voice like a thunderclap suddenly came from mid-air.

After the voice settled, a figure appeared directly in front of everyone.

Ding Fan was the first to recognize the person who came.

The person appearing before them was none other than Gui Zhen.

When in Yanjing, Ding Fan had learned that the Upper Xuan Sect was now serving the people from the Ghost Sect, so seeing Gui Zhen appear here was not surprising at all.

"We meet again…" Gui Zhen also saw Ding Fan, a sinister smile flashing across his lips.

Ding Fan merely glanced indifferently at the other party, his hand tightening around the Nine Profound Iron Sword.

"Senior Gui Zhen, they must not be spared, avenge our Upper Xuan Sect disciples," just then, an elder leading dozens of martial artists came striding boldly over.

Fang Ruohan shivered upon seeing the newcomer, the person was none other than her father, the sect leader of the Upper Xuan Sect, Fang Yuanshan.

"Father, I was wondering how these people managed to enter our Upper Xuan Sect's gate, turns out it was Fang Ruohan, this double-dealer," at that moment, Fang Zhiyao, standing by Fang Yuanshan's side, snorted lightly.

Fang Yuanshan coldly glanced at Fang Ruohan. "You unworthy child, daring to bring outsiders into our Upper Xuan Sect's gate, from today onwards, we no longer share a father-daughter relationship, from now on we are mortal enemies!"

Fang Ruohan's body slightly trembled, yet her expression remained relatively calm. "Where is my mother? Return my mother to me, and I and my mother will never step into the Upper Xuan Sect again in this lifetime…"

"What your mother's whereabouts have to do with us? Like mother, like daughter, you both are women who bring ruin to our clan! Keeping you is only inviting disaster!" Another cold voice then came from behind Fang Yuanshan.

Ding Fan looked in the direction of the voice.

He had seen that woman in Longxi before, indeed she was none other than Fang Zhiyao's mother.

"Do not slander my mother!" When the other party mentioned her mother, Fang Ruohan's eyes filled with resolve.

Swish, Fang Ruohan's right hand directly picked up a longsword, the sword beam targeting Fang Zhiyao's mother.

"Sect Master, you've seen it too, that Tian Lin's daughter is so ill-mannered, completely disregarding her elders. What use is there in keeping such a person?" Fang Zhiyao's mother snorted coldly.

Fang Yuanshan said, "For hundreds of years, our Upper Xuan Sect has never been breached. Today, we've lost dozens of disciples. If our Upper Xuan Sect does not avenge this, how can we stand in the world in the future!"

Fang Yuanshan continued, addressing Gui Zhen beside him, "Senior Gui Zhen, we and the Ghost Sect are allies. We request that Senior Gui Zhen oversee today's matter…"

At this moment, Ding Fan had a look of disdain.

Listening to Fang Yuanshan's righteous speech, Ding Fan thought that Fang Yuanshan wanted a direct confrontation, but ultimately, he threw out such words, asking Gui Zhen to make a move.

Gui Zhen glanced over the three of them. His lips slightly curled up. "Today, I'll just take you down."

"I'll handle him," said Zhang Shanlian, stepping forward.

After all, Gui Zhen was from the Hidden Sects. In Zhang Shanlian's view, being from the same Hidden Sects, it naturally fell to him to deal with the opponent."

"Senior Zhang, please let me handle this person," Ding Fan interrupted, standing beside Zhang Shanlian.

Previously in Yanjing, Ding Fan had once clashed with Gui Zhen; if it weren't for the army's timely arrival, Ding Fan might have been killed by Gui Zhen.

But the situation now was different from back then. Ding Fan had obtained the Thunderstone in Hundred Flowers Village, and his cultivation had improved significantly compared to that time. Now, Ding Fan actually wanted to have a good fight with Gui Zhen again. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel※fire.net

Zhang Shanlian glanced at Ding Fan and eventually nodded.

After all, Ding Fan had inherited Wen Yizhou's legacy, and later even slew Gui Luo. Thus, it wasn't unthinkable for Ding Fan to fight against Gui Zhen.

Ding Fan directly picked up the Nine Profound Iron and approached Jiuzhen.

Seeing Ding Fan step forward, Gui Zhen let out a strange cackle. "Looks like you really forgot how badly I beat you last time. I'm actually impressed by your death-defying audacity."

At this moment, Fang Zhiyao sneered from the side. "Senior Gui Zhen, this guy is Fang Ruohan's lover. He wants to show off in front of Fang Ruohan, but unfortunately, he's simply not qualified to face you, Senior Gui Zhen..."

"Shut your mouth, it's not your place to judge who I fight against!" Gui Zhen said irritably.

Being rebuffed , Fang Zhiyao's face turned sour.

Fang Zhiyao intended to flatter Gui Zhen, but who could have expected to not only receive no courtesy but even be scolded.

Fang Yuanshan gave Fang Zhiyao a look, signaling her to stop talking, and Fang Zhiyao obediently closed her mouth.

Gui Zhen was a powerful figure from the Hidden Sects, someone they absolutely couldn't afford to offend. Even if Fang Yuanshan's beloved daughter was publicly scolded, he could only keep smiling.

"Come on, I'll let you make three moves," Gui Zhen said nonchalantly, putting his hands behind his back and then addressing Ding Fan.

Clear to everyone, Gui Zhen was full of confidence, completely certain of overpowering Ding Fan.

Faced with such a formidable enemy, Ding Fan didn't bother being courteous. Swinging the Nine Profound Iron in his hand, his figure flickered, reaching Gui Zhen in almost the blink of an eye.

Ding Fan's sword struck directly toward Gui Zhen's chest.

Ding Fan's sword strike was quite impressive; the Sword Qi swept across, packed with strong True Yuan. Moreover, the direction of the sword strike was ingenious. Although it aimed at Gui Zhen's chest, the momentum was sufficient, forcing Gui Zhen to be cornered no matter which direction he dodged.

Gui Zhen felt the force of Ding Fan's sword; for a moment, his eyes sharpened.

Ding Fan's True Yuan was solid and powerful, vastly stronger than during the time at the Yanjing epidemic area.

The Ding Fan before him seemed like a transformed person, whose pace of improvement in cultivation reached an unbelievable level to Gui Zhen.

At that moment, Gui Zhen chose not to dodge. He could no longer care about the previous claim of allowing three moves; he saw that if he really did allow three moves, it was uncertain who would win tonight.

Thus, Gui Zhen directly drew out his Bone Sword and swept away the Sword Qi that Ding Fan had thrust at him.

Boom… The fierce collision between Inner Strength and True Yuan stirred up a strong gust of wind. Some disciples with lower cultivation were directly toppled by the gust.

After the collision between True Yuan and Inner Strength, Ding Fan stepped back two steps, while Gui Zhen was pushed back three steps.

"Gui Zhen, weren't you going to let me make three moves? How come you started fighting back from the first move? Are all you from the Ghost Sect deceitful hypocrites?" At that moment, Ye Tianshi shouted loudly from the side, "The people from the Ghost Sect bully the younger disciples... The Ghost Sect bullies younger disciples..."

Even if Gui Zhen's skin could be thicker, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel his face burning.

The reason he dared to let Ding Fan make three moves initially was that he had fought with Ding Fan before and believed he had the strength to defeat Ding Fan.

But who knew that Ding Fan had improved so quickly? In just a short time, his combat strength became incredibly formidable! Just competing in terms of Inner Strength in the first move, he had already lost a step to Ding Fan. If he really let Ding Fan make three moves as previously said, he might die without knowing how.

Gui Zhen's eyes darkened. "Boy, you must die today!"

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…

Gui Zhen wielded the Bone Sword, rushing forward to attack Ding Fan. Ding Fan, fearless, met Gui Zhen with his Longsword…
