Chapter 983: Chapter 983

The gaunt elder and Jiang Feng were locked in a fierce battle.

Wu Weier glanced at Jiang Feng, then at Wu Cheng behind her, and in a commanding tone, spoke to Wu Cheng.

"Wu Cheng, go, Uncle Jiang Feng and I will hold them here!"

At this moment, two martial artists behind the gaunt elder also rushed forward to attack.

Without a word, Wu Weier swung her longsword and intercepted them halfway.

Wu Cheng clutched his wound, panic filling his eyes. He knew that if they separated now, it might be a long time before they would see each other again...

As Wu Cheng stood bewildered, Wu Weier was already knocked to the ground by the two charging martial artists.

The cultivation of those two was at the peak of Earth Level, which posed a significant challenge to Wu Weier.

Truth be told, Wu Weier could barely withstand one of them, but with both attacking simultaneously, she truly had no chance to defend.

Thus, Wu Weier was immediately knocked aside upon charging forward.

Wu Weier tried to get up from the ground, but at that very moment, a sword blade stabbed toward her.

The opponent's sword was incredibly fast, arriving in the blink of an eye.

Wu Weier was shocked; such a fast sword left her with no chance to dodge...

Her heart chilled; it seemed today she was destined to die here.

Seeing this, Wu Cheng was also filled with anxiety, but he was already heavily injured and completely unable to rescue his sister.

And at the moment Wu Weier was about to be slain, a sword beam suddenly swept in.

The longsword poised to pierce Wu Weier's throat was deflected.

Wu Weier had resigned herself to death, not expecting such a turn of events. She quickly looked up.

Not far from her stood a thin figure.

Seeing the figure, Wu Weier immediately recognized the newcomer; he was none other than the young man who refused to give her a room at the inn yesterday.

The man was none other than Ding Fan.

The two martial artists repelled by Ding Fan's sword beam seemed reluctant to give up. They wielded their longswords, attacking Wu Weier once again.

In their minds, Wu Weier was within reach; one strike could claim her life.

But the two underestimated the situation.

As they assumed they could swiftly kill Wu Weier, a wind blade suddenly struck.

A wind blade slashed across. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝕟𝕖𝕥

Before the two martial artists even realized what had happened, they fell to the ground simultaneously.

Wu Weier was stunned, and when she looked over, the two martial artists had already been sliced in half, bodies littering the ground.

How... how is this possible?

Wu Weier could hardly believe her eyes, thinking she might have seen wrong.

After all, those two were peak Earth Level martial artists, and in front of them, she was as powerless as a chick being toyed with.

But the newcomer had dispatched them with a single wind blade.

Wu Weier looked at Ding Fan; he was no older than her. Could it be there are such young Heavenly Level martial artists in this world?

The commotion also attracted the attention of Jiang Feng and the gaunt man still fighting nearby.

Jiang Feng glanced at Ding Fan, puzzled, not understanding why Ding Fan was helping them.

The gaunt man looked at his slain companions, his eyes dark as he stared at Ding Fan. "Kid, who are you? We don't seem to have any grudges."

The gaunt man was no fool; anyone capable of easily killing peak Earth Level individuals was surely extraordinary, so he did not rush forward.

"This woman is someone I've taken an interest in, and you're bullying her, so naturally, I'll intervene." Ding Fan stated, pointing at Wu Weier.

Ding Fan said this mainly to avoid alerting Ghost Sect.

Ghost Sect intended to ambush everyone at the Hidden Sects gathering. If they were alerted at this critical moment and changed tactics, things would become complicated.

Clearly, Ding Fan could feel a trace of telekinesis probing in this direction, and using his Divine Sense, he pinpointed that the probe belonged to a Ghost Sect expert.

Thus, Ding Fan had no choice but to say such things to keep a low profile.

"What did you say?" Wu Weier was incensed.

Ding Fan's words made her think he was a lecher, an impudent man.

"Who are you calling someone you've taken an interest in? You better get lost..."

Ding Fan was speechless, but without a better excuse, he begrudgingly claimed Wu Weier as someone he's taken an interest in.

Yet such a brash and uncultured woman was certainly not to his liking.

"Kid, you must take responsibility for what you've done!" The gaunt man finished speaking, raised his right hand, and a Sword Beam directly slashed towards Ding Fan.

The gaunt man's Sword Beam was fierce in its approach, not lacking in power, and the gust it brought was so strong that it hurt the face.

However, Ding Fan had no intention of dodging; he waved his right hand again.

Screech... The sharp sound of a Wind Blade slicing through the air directly rang out.

A Wind Blade collided head-on with the opponent's Sword Beam. If the gaunt man's Sword Beam was fierce, then Ding Fan's Wind Blade could make gods and ghosts howl.

Just the piercing screeches alone made everyone present feel like a blade was on their backs, experiencing waves of chilling dread.

The Wind Blade and the Sword Beam collided heavily.

A massive energy collision occurred, leading to a violent explosion once more.

Where the Wind Blade and Sword Beam collided became the center, and a powerful gust of wind whipped out.

The sand and dust on the ground were all swept up... then two figures jumped out from the dust.

Wu Weier and Wu Cheng saw clearly that these two had fought to a draw, neither winning nor losing.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Feng's expression changed.

He looked at Ding Fan in complete surprise.

Others might not know the background of the gaunt man, but Jiang Feng knew; he had fought with the gaunt man for a long time just moments ago.

The gaunt man's cultivation must be at least at the third grade Heavenly Level.

In the Hidden Sects, this is practically an invincible existence. Yet with such a formidable opponent, Ding Fan actually fought him to a draw!

So young... third grade Heavenly Level, throughout the world, how many could have such talent? Probably not many.

Currently, it's rumored that the powerful one is the Spirit Sect's master, who is young and already of Profound Level cultivation; however, Jiang Feng hadn't seen him. Among those he had seen, Ding Fan's talent was the highest.

Wu Weier and Wu Cheng exchanged glances. In their eyes, Jiang Feng was already remarkable, outstanding, and now the gaunt man who fought Jiang Feng to a draw had also fought Ding Fan to a draw...

This was truly incredible.

At this moment, not only Jiang Feng, but even the gaunt man wore an expression of shock.

Being able to instantly kill two Earth Level Peak Martial Artists is certainly not easy to deal with; he knew this, so he had never dared underestimate Ding Fan.

But after making a move, the gaunt man realized that while he thought he hadn't underestimated his opponent, he actually had...

He never expected that his opponent could fight him to a draw.

Whoosh whoosh... at this moment, footsteps were heard from afar.

Ding Fan used his Divine Sense to probe ahead; among the five approaching, three were wearing the Lu Family's Martial Artist outfits...

Since it's the Lu Family coming, Ding Fan wasn't worried.

"Who are you people? Why are you fighting here?!"

The five approached, and a sixty-year-old elder coldly looked at Ding Fan and the others.

Ding Fan focused on the elder's expression changes upon arrival.

After arriving at the arena, the elder first looked at the gaunt man, and their eyes exchanged a brief glance.

"They bullied my woman." Ding Fan showed a very loyal demeanor.

Although there were Lu Family people present, Ding Fan didn't reveal his intentions directly before understanding the situation, as things were somewhat complicated.

"Who's your woman?!" Wu Weier was ready to explode when Ding Fan said this! "Say one more wrong word, and I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"Wu Weier, that's enough..." At this moment, Jiang Feng spoke from the side.

Wu Weier glared fiercely at Ding Fan before turning her head aside.

"What exactly happened?" The elder who brought the Lu Family Martial Artists spoke solemnly.

"May I know who you are?" Jiang Feng asked courteously towards the newcomer.

"Dejiang, Lu Family steward, Wang Quan."

Ding Fan recalled the spoiled son, Wang Fang, who took Su Qing on a wild ride in a sports car earlier.

Moreover, Ding Fan had discerned from their conversation that Wang Fang's father had already joined the Ghost Sect...

Ding Fan remembered that Wang Quan had exchanged glances with the gaunt man upon arriving...

Could it be that this man is Wang Fang's father, the mastermind planning to set the Explosive Array in the venue?

"Here's what happened," Jiang Feng began as he realized it was someone from the Lu Family. "We came here, then this man showed up, didn't say anything, and immediately wanted our lives..."

Jiang Feng briefly recounted the events. "If not for this young brother's help, we would likely have fallen prey to them."

"Why did you try to kill them?" Wang Quan glanced at the gaunt man.

The gaunt man sneered, "You really know how to twist the truth. Open your eyes and see who's really dead now... If we intended to kill you, how could our people have been slain by you?"

"That's because you were outmatched, died for nothing!" Wu Weier shouted from the side.

"Everyone, the Hidden Sects' meeting is about to start. If you have personal grudges, please resolve them individually. Do not cause trouble here. If anyone causes trouble again, the Lu Family will not overlook it..." Wang Quan stated.
