Top-tier Unruly Master

At this moment, everyone saw Ding Fan walking towards the elder cultivator, and couldn't help but feel a wave of shock in their hearts.

Even if Ding Fan is formidable, he absolutely can't be a match for that elder cultivator. You must know that the elder's cultivation is at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, which is not something an ordinary cultivator can handle. Clearly, even within the sect, the elder is definitely at an Elder Level.

For a moment, everyone's hearts were hanging for Ding Fan. Gradually, they also started to move closer to that side. Although they knew they stood no chance against the elder, they absolutely couldn't just watch Ding Fan take the risk alone. After all, there is strength in numbers.

...

Just then, the elder cultivator and the young cultivator suddenly noticed a cultivator approaching them. For a moment, they both looked shocked. The young cultivator noticed the approaching cultivator's cultivation was only at the Early Nascent Soul Stage, clearly not on the same level as their battle, yet the newcomer's steps were so steady and powerful, exuding immense confidence.

This moment gave the young cultivator an illusion: it was as if the newcomer was not just an Early Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, but an absolute master, radiating an air of supreme confidence.

Not only was the young cultivator shocked, but the elderly cultivator also noticed Ding Fan had already reached them. Although Ding Fan wore a slightly angry expression while looking at him, his overall demeanor was too calm, seemingly incongruous with his Early Nascent Soul Stage cultivation. This confidence even momentarily stunned the elder.

What on earth makes that useless brat so confident, utterly reckless!

The elder looked at Ding Fan, feeling a surge of disdain and contempt in his heart.

"What are you useless thing doing here! Go do what you're supposed to! Stop causing trouble around here!"

The elder looked at Ding Fan, his face full of disdain and contempt, and said.

Upon hearing the elder's words, Ding Fan let out a cold chuckle, then stared with icy eyes at the elder, and said in a cold voice:

"Useless? Heh! You, with your Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation, have yet to defeat an Early Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. Between us, who exactly is the useless one!"

The young cultivator on the side was stunned upon hearing Ding Fan's words. To think an Early Nascent Soul Stage cultivator dared to openly ridicule a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, it was astonishing. Does he really not fear death?

For a moment, the young cultivator was completely dumbfounded!

But then he felt a hint of smugness—in the end, an enemy's enemy is a friend. Regardless of the opponent's cultivation strength, this principle he understood well enough.

However, the young cultivator didn't rush to conclusions, considering the newcomer's strength seemed too feeble. Even if he were a friend, he wouldn't hold up for long.

At this time, the elder cultivator's face turned furious upon hearing Ding Fan's words; it had clearly hit a sore spot. Even though he had been fighting the young cultivator for a while and hadn't managed to defeat him yet, the elder sensed that the young cultivator was not an ordinary opponent, though not quite his match. Clearly, defeating him was just a matter of time.

"What a sharp-tongued brat. Since you want to die, I can fulfill that for you without wasting any more words!"

The elder looked at Ding Fan, his eyes turning icy as he spoke while circles of True Qi fluctuations began emerging in his hands, clearly ready to make a move against Ding Fan.

At this point, Ye Ningbing and others slowly appeared behind Ding Fan, within the elder's line of sight. The elder took a glance at the group behind Ding Fan, displaying utter disdain on his face, then slowly retracted the True Qi fluctuations in his hands, saying with extreme contempt to Ding Fan:

"Do you think having more people is useful? Ridiculous! You two worthless brats, come at me! See how this elder will cut you down!"

"Die!"

With a furious roar, the elder quickly unleashed a powerful surge of True Qi towards Ding Fan. Clearly, he intended to kill Ding Fan in a single strike; in the elder's eyes, Ding Fan with his Early Nascent Soul Stage cultivation was not worth a second move.

"Brother, I, Zhong Hao, will join you in slaying this old fool!"

The young cultivator beside them said to Ding Fan, then wielded his longsword fiercely towards the elder. Clearly, he knew the Early Nascent Soul Stage cultivator was merely cannon fodder against the elder, but he could seize the elder's distraction to entirely eliminate him, potentially increasing his own odds.

"Fall back!"

Ding Fan shouted to Ye Ningbing and the others behind him, then moved swiftly, charging directly at the elder.

"Today, I'll kill you first for the Dayang Sect, to avenge the Dayang Sect!"

At the same time, Ding Fan shouted furiously, recalling his fellow sect brothers and the elders and sect master who died protecting him. The anger in Ding Fan's heart had evidently reached an extreme.

Simultaneously, Ding Fan's speed was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of the elder, which clearly surprised the elder.

The elder naturally heard Ding Fan's words and realized that Ding Fan was a remnant of the Dayang Sect. Having encountered him today, he was determined to thoroughly eliminate this cultivator, ensuring Ding Fan would not leave alive.

However, the elder was deeply shocked by Ding Fan's speed, clearly realizing that a cultivator at the Early Nascent Soul Stage could not possibly be this fast. It was remarkable.

"Go to hell!"

Ding Fan roared, following with a fierce punch toward the elder, fully exerting his cultivation.

The elder, seeing Ding Fan release his cultivation, couldn't help but be stunned.

"A divine warrior?"

Evidently, Ding Fan was using Divine Vigor in his punch, not only enhancing it with Divine Vigor but also infusing it with the Arctic Chill of the Frost Toad and a trace of the Lightning Attribute. Clearly, it was not something ordinary cultivators could handle easily. Ding Fan knew that the Pure Thunder Pill hadn't fully integrated with him yet, making the Lightning Attribute slightly weaker. But he was confident this punch would be a significant challenge for the elder!

Bang!

A muffled sound erupted, with the elder also throwing a punch. Knowing his opponent was a divine warrior, the elder exercised caution against Ding Fan. Despite that, he held disdain for Ding Fan, thinking that Ding Fan, whose cultivation seemed only at the Late Nascent Soul Stage, was naturally not his match. Given his cultivation at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, killing Ding Fan was like a simple task.

Watching this scene, Ye Ningbing and others were evidently worried about Ding Fan. After all, Ding Fan's opponent, the elder, had the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Late Stage, which was not an adversary ordinary cultivators could manage. Moreover, Ding Fan was attacking with fists instead of weapons, causing Zhong Hao and others to be deeply concerned about him. He Qianyao and others even considered that if Ding Fan was injured from this blow, they'd rush in to save him immediately.

Although He Qianyao and others had little confidence in rescuing someone from a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, they felt compelled to try for Ding Fan's sake!

At this moment, a young cultivator felt a pang of pity for Ding Fan, thinking the elder's strike would surely be lethal for him.

Yet, after the sound of the muffled impact, to everyone's surprise, Ding Fan remained standing firmly, while the elder staggered backward repeatedly, pain evidently showing on his face, hinting at an injury!

He Qianyao was utterly astounded by this scene, incredulous that Ding Fan had managed to repel an elder at the Nascent Soul Late Stage. How could this be possible?

This was simply too incredible!

At that moment, the two divine warrior girls stared wide-eyed at Ding Fan, unable to believe he had defeated a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, even injuring them. It seemed unbelievable!

Ye Ningbing, too, looked stunned but relieved as Ding Fan remained unharmed while the elder of the Nascent Soul Late Stage was injured.

The young cultivator watching was also surprised, not expecting that someone at the Nascent Soul Stage could defeat a Nascent Soul Late Stage elder, injuring him. How was this possible?

What kind of genius could achieve this feat? The young cultivator often considered himself exceptionally gifted, with few reaching the Nascent Soul Early Stage at his age. But now, he doubted everything he had said, seeing that the elder looked younger than him and possessed weaker cultivation, yet managed to clash with a Nascent Soul cultivator, defeating them. How was this possible!

The elder of the Nascent Soul Stage, showing great pain, tried to dispel the Arctic Chill invading his body. He had only used six levels of his capability in the previous attack, clearly underestimating Ding Fan.

He was deeply shocked, not expecting Ding Fan's fist to be so ferocious. Feeling a dragon's roar when the punch approached, he was sure it was caused by Ding Fan's fist technique, a fact confirmed with certainty as an elder of the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

He knew he'd been careless, never expecting that mere negligence would result in such a heavy price. He hadn't anticipated Ding Fan's fist would carry Arctic Chill, which was far too dense for an ordinary cultivator to manage.

The elder realized his body was thoroughly infiltrated by the Arctic Chill and struggled to expel it, finding it challenging. He knew he could only utilize about seventy percent of his power now, facing a one-on-two situation, with the young cultivator also a formidable opponent.

The elder deeply regretted his carelessness, realizing the tremendous consequence he faced!
