Chapter 1276: Sneak Attack
At this moment, everyone was utterly horrified by the scene before them, not expecting so many zombies to appear. It was simply terrifying. However, what concerned everyone even more was Ding Fan, who was now obviously at the center of that zombie horde. Even though Ding Fan had previously slain a zombie, there were now as many as six or seven to contend with.
At this moment, not only were He Qianyao and others looking at Ding Fan with worry, but even Elder Fa felt deeply concerned upon witnessing this scene. After all, Ding Fan had saved him before, and in his heart, he held some gratitude towards Ding Fan. Moreover, Ding Fan's strength far exceeded his expectations. Clearly, a young prodigy like this was a genius in the making.
Elder Fa understood that if his sect could connect with such a talented disciple, it would only bring benefits, not drawbacks. After all, such a genius cultivator, once grown, would be a truly formidable existence.
Therefore, seeing Ding Fan in this situation, Elder Fa couldn't help but feel a certain level of anxiety. At this time, everyone was positioned near a dilapidated corner of the wall, fortuitously providing some safety. Meanwhile, Ding Fan was in a dire situation, nearly surrounded by zombies. Elder Fa wanted to rush out and support Ding Fan, but previously, Ding Fan had instructed him to protect everyone, creating a sense of internal conflict, unsure of what to do.
Seeing Ding Fan's predicament, Ye Ningbing was also deeply worried. No matter how powerful Ding Fan was, he couldn't possibly handle so many zombies alone. For a moment, Ye Ningbing felt extremely anxious, not knowing what to do.
"Sister Ningbing, why don't we go help Brother Fan and give it a try?"
"Yes, we are divine warriors, and those zombies fear our Divine Vigor."
At this moment, seeing Ding Fan in that situation, the two young divine warrior girls couldn't help but worry for him. Clearly, it was quite difficult for Ding Fan to face so many zombies alone. Furthermore, the two young divine warrior girls had already noticed that those zombies were very afraid of their Divine Vigor, which led them to the thought of wanting to help Ding Fan.
"How can that be possible? How can you be a match for those zombies?"
Upon hearing the two young divine warrior girls, Ye Ningbing immediately opposed the idea. Obviously, she didn't believe that these two young divine warriors could be a match for those zombies. It seemed impossible.
"Sister Ningbing, let us try. We are confident that we can handle it. Right now, Brother Fan is in great danger alone."
"Yes, Sister Ningbing, please give us a chance to believe in us."
The two young divine warrior girls, upon hearing Ye Ningbing, did not abandon their previous resolve but were instead determined. They remembered how Brother Fan took care of them along the journey, helped them acquire the 'Gathering Spirit Herb,' and even saved their lives. They felt a strong desire to repay this kindness. At this moment, realizing the zombies were somewhat fearful of their Divine Vigor, they knew it was time for them to step up.
Upon hearing what the two young divine warrior girls said, Ye Ningbing found herself at a loss for words, as Ding Fan was in a dangerous situation. She was very worried about Ding Fan facing so many zombies alone.
Ye Ningbing looked towards He Qianyao, and at this moment, He Qianyao was also very concerned about Ding Fan. She had heard the two young divine warrior girls as well. Her willow-leaf brows furrowed slightly, then after pondering for a moment, He Qianyao said to Ye Ningbing:
"Why don't we let them give it a try?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ningbing couldn't help but look seriously at the two young divine warrior girls and said:
"Be careful, and retreat immediately if you encounter danger."
The two young divine warrior girls, upon hearing Ye Ningbing, couldn't help but smile happily at each other and said:
"It's time for us to be tested, let's do our best!"
"Yes, we can do this, let's do our best!"
After encouraging each other, the two young divine warrior girls, who originally had innocent childhood hearts, now showed a trace of determination. They then rushed towards Ding Fan's direction. Upon witnessing this scene, Elder Fa couldn't help but look worriedly at the two young girls charging towards the zombies and asked Ye Ningbing and others:
"Are they going to be alright?"
"Let's hope so..."
Ye Ningbing frowned slightly, the worry on her face extremely evident.
...
At this time, Ding Fan was maneuvering against six zombies, continuously employing his movement technique. Ding Fan had perfectly integrated the Fist Technique from the Stele into his movement technique, demonstrating it completely, evidently with no reservations. For a moment, the zombies' hard and powerful arms flashed past Ding Fan's eyes, narrowly missing him.
However, Ding Fan always managed to retreat without harm amidst the opponents. For a moment, six or seven zombies attacking Ding Fan couldn't even touch him, but by now, his clothes were visibly torn in many places. Ding Fan remained in a very passive position, hastily striking at only one or two zombies. Even though he had already utilized Divine Vigor, he underestimated the zombie's tough body—despite his flying sword being made of Divine Iron, it was still struggling when it came to chopping those zombies.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
For a moment, the six or seven zombies punched towards Ding Fan, causing a loud commotion. The noise was terrifying, and every step the zombies took sounded powerful. The area around Ding Fan was filled with thundering noises, making people watch with bated breath.
"Slash! Slash! Slash..."
At this moment, outside the circle of zombies surrounding Ding Fan, calls of battle cries suddenly emerged. Ding Fan looked closely and saw it was the two young divine warrior girls. Seeing Ding Fan looking at them, they smiled at him and slashed fiercely at the zombies near the gods with their longswords in hand.
Puff! Puff...
Immediately, the bodies of the zombies were slashed by the two divine warrior girls, and the sudden attack made the zombies incredibly angry. The zombies then viciously struck towards the girls.
Witnessing this, the two divine warrior girls immediately retracted their gaze from Ding Fan, their eyes cold and stern, dodging the zombies while continuously cutting at them. The zombie evidently realized the Divine Vigor in the two divine warrior girls the first moment. Obviously, there was a barrier in its heart. When they retreated a certain extent, the zombie no longer wanted to chase them and gave up attacking, turning back to attack Ding Fan instead.
Seeing this, Ding Fan couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Clearly, the zombies didn't want to entangle with the two divine warrior girls. Ding Fan knew it must be because the two girls were divine warriors, and the zombies didn't want to provoke them. Ding Fan realized that though he was now a divine warrior engaged in Spiritual Cultivation, he couldn't compare to those two divine warrior girls. After all, they were born divine warriors, and Ding Fan knew there were things he could not be the same as them.
Still, the zombie was undoubtedly apprehensive of his Divine Vigor, just not nearly as much as they were with those two divine warrior girls. Seeing the girls' actions, Ding Fan felt somewhat relieved since they weren't in much danger and he was thankful for them.
Clearly, with the surprise attacks from these two divine warrior girls, some zombies were naturally distracted from encircling him.
"Hmph, it's time to end this."
Then, Ding Fan seized each opportunity when the two girls ambushed the zombies. He used Divine Sense on one of the zombies near him to identify its critical spot. Gathering all his Divine Vigor, he wielded his flying sword solidly against the zombie.
Roar!
With a wailing sound, the zombie was instantly slain by Ding Fan, collapsing to the ground and turning into dark green pus in a moment, confirming that Ding Fan's judgment was right. It seemed the zombies could indeed be completely slain if hit at their critical spots. However, it was frustrating that each zombie had its critical spot in a different place, requiring Ding Fan to spend time using Divine Sense to locate it.
Thus, with the cooperation of the two divine warrior girls, Ding Fan successfully slew three zombies. Seeing this, the girls grinned with visible admiration for Ding Fan.
The remaining three zombies, witnessing this, felt indignant and alert. Clearly, the opponent wasn't easy to deal with, and those two divine warriors were truly detestable!
"Hmm, hmm..."
One of the zombies mumbled something to another in a low voice. Then, one zombie suddenly stopped attacking Ding Fan and turned to charge towards the two divine warrior girls.
Seeing this, the two girls couldn't help but tense up, knowing the zombie was targeting them. Although the girls were divine warriors with Divine Vigor that the zombies feared, they had clearly angered the creatures. The incoming zombie obviously intended to confront them forcefully.
"Retreat quickly!"
"Mm!"
The two divine warrior girls hurriedly retreated. Elder Fa, seeing this, promptly intervened, pulling out a Blast Rune and throwing it at the zombie chasing the girls.
Boom...
A loud explosion erupted, leaving the zombie's limbs apparently incomplete, yet it didn't seem to affect its mobility or attack power. Elder Fa knew that if the critical spot wasn't found, killing the zombie would be extremely difficult. Frustratingly, no matter how hard he tried using Divine Sense to check, he couldn't find the zombie's critical spot.
For now, Elder Fa could only stand in front of the zombie, evidently having no way to deal with it immediately.
