Top-tier Unruly Master

Ding Fan understood that he was just one step away from killing this zombie, and there was no way he could give up at this critical moment. Otherwise, it would clearly not be so easy to kill the zombie.

This sudden mutation startled He Qianyao and the others greatly, as they obviously did not expect the zombie to be able to twist its limbs and head a full one hundred and eighty degrees backward without moving its body. At this moment, Ding Fan was right behind the zombie, meaning he was less than half a meter away!

The zombie's power was incredibly strong. Even a cultivator at the Late Nascent Soul Stage, like a Divinity Soldier Second Grade, would not be a match in terms of power. After all, everyone had seen Elder Fa suffer losses twice at the hands of that zombie. It was evident that this zombie was more powerful than typical zombies.

The onlookers couldn't help but feel their hearts leap into their throats for Ding Fan.

At this moment, the two disciples of the Hongshan Sect were also greatly shocked by what they saw, not expecting Ding Fan to be less than half a meter away from the zombie. This was undeniably perilous. Though their cultivation wasn't high, they knew the worst fear in dealing with a zombie was close-quarters combat, as typical cultivators could not rival the zombie's strength.

Clearly, even those two disciples of the Hongshan Sect realized that what Ding Fan needed to do was immediately distance himself from the zombie. Being this close to it was not at all favorable.

"Retreat quickly, Ding Fan..."

Seeing Ding Fan, He Qianyao and the others urged him anxiously, clearly understanding that this was not an ordinary zombie. Its intelligence surpassed typical zombies by a fair margin. Ding Fan, being so close, surely wouldn't be let off.

Elder Fa was alarmed upon seeing Ding Fan in this scenario, not expecting him to be so close to the zombie. Was he courting death?

"Even as mighty as Ding Fan is, he shouldn't be this close to the zombie! Alas..."

Seeing Ding Fan, Elder Fa murmured to himself, feeling utterly speechless and deeply concerned. An excellent genius disciple like him could not just be sacrificed before his eyes.

His sect had placed high hopes on Ding Fan, especially the sect leader, who had a favorable view of him. If Ding Fan were to meet any mishap before him, he wouldn't have the face to report back to the sect leader.

...

Boom!

At this moment, the Zombie Leader looked at Ding Fan with an excited glint in its eyes, clearly seeing this human so close as throwing himself into the net. How could it miss such an opportunity?

The Zombie Leader immediately swung a fist towards Ding Fan, its somewhat stiff arm as hard as a thousand-year-old iron rod, sweeping powerfully towards Ding Fan with a gust of wind. Just a glance was enough to gauge the immense power of the strike!

To be said it's turning someone into smithereens would be an understatement!

Seeing this, He Qianyao and the others couldn't help but gasp, knowing full well that the zombie's strike was something not even an ordinary cultivator could withstand, let alone Ding Fan being less than half a meter away. This time, Ding Fan seemed doomed.

"Retreat quickly! Retreat! Quickly..."

Seeing Ding Fan, He Qianyao and the others shouted anxiously, clearly thinking that Ding Fan should quickly dodge. Such a close-quarters strike from the zombie was surely beyond his ability to withstand.

Everyone held their breath, watching Ding Fan intently with great anxiety.

Boom...

"Golden Dragon Emergence!"

At this moment, Ding Fan shouted loudly, followed by a loud boom.

To everyone's surprise, Ding Fan unexpectedly launched a fierce punch towards the Zombie Leader, colliding forcefully with the zombie's fist, producing a deafening sound.

The Zombie Leader, seeing this, couldn't help feeling a sense of contempt for the human before it. To dare not dodge and choose to clash fists was utterly laughable. Human strength couldn't possibly rival its own; it was outright courting death!

The shock wasn't limited to the zombie; He Qianyao and the others were also greatly astounded, not expecting Ding Fan to choose to clash head-on with the zombie. It was sheer suicide, no?

Ye Ningbing, upon seeing this, couldn't help but feel extremely tense, her heart in her throat for Ding Fan. The zombie's strength was enormous; could Ding Fan truly withstand it?

The two Hongshan Sect disciples saw Ding Fan's action and were completely dumbfounded, never expecting Ding Fan to make such a choice. It totally went beyond their expectations; this was simply too risky. They knew that fighting the zombie at such close range was obviously not a wise move.

In the hearts of the two Hongshan Sect disciples, there was a certain gratitude towards Ding Fan, for without Ding Fan's previous intervention to stop them from charging at the zombie, they would clearly be dead by now.

Therefore, the two Hongshan Sect disciples couldn't help but feel very worried for Ding Fan.

Elder Fa saw Ding Fan's action and was caught off guard. He was originally about to defend against the zombie in front of him but suddenly froze, resulting in a heavy attack from the zombie in front of him. For a moment, Elder Fa felt a sharp pain, but his heart was still very shocked by Ding Fan's actions. It was clear to him that the zombie in front of Ding Fan was no ordinary zombie; it was definitely more formidable than typical ones.

Yet, Ding Fan chose not to avoid the opponent and instead fought head-on, which was completely unexpected for him. Although he could see at the time that even if Ding Fan wanted to dodge, he might not have been able to do so in time. Even so, if it were him, he would still choose to evade. Even if he couldn't completely evade, he would do his best to dodge, because that's the only way to minimize the damage from the opponent.

Boom...

A dull sound echoed as Ding Fan's fist collided fiercely with the Zombie Leader's fist, immediately creating a deafening clamor. But the next scene left everyone stunned: not only did Ding Fan still stand before the zombie, but his hand, which had already pierced the zombie with a sword, pushed forward even further.

At this moment, the Zombie Leader felt the threat of death and was utterly shocked, with a look of disbelief on his face. No matter what, he never expected that the human in front of him could overpower him in terms of strength. His punch had not budged Ding Fan in the slightest; instead, his own fist retreated a little.

For the Zombie Leader, even that little retreat could be fatal. At this moment, he clearly felt that the most critical part of his body had been pierced by Ding Fan's flying sword, breaking the defense and deeply penetrating...

Puff...

Roar...

Soon, the Zombie Leader in front of Ding Fan, full of unwillingness and shock, exploded in a painful howl, instantly turning into a puddle of dark green liquid and disappearing without a trace.

At this point, He Qianyao and others watching were completely dumbfounded. What exactly happened? Did Ding Fan slay that zombie? How could this be possible?

This was simply too unbelievable!

He Qianyao really couldn't believe her eyes. Could a very powerful zombie disappear like smoke, eliminated by Ding Fan?

The truth had completely exceeded He Qianyao's understanding. Just a moment ago, Ding Fan was still in grave peril, and in the next moment, he had already achieved a dramatic victory. This reversal was quite extraordinary.

Ding Fan's power was actually that strong? Even at such close range, he could surpass the zombie, which was clearly somewhat too unbelievable!

At this moment, it wasn't just He Qianyao who was shocked; the two young divine warriors were also stunned at the sight of Ding Fan's action, hardly daring to believe what they saw. They never imagined that Brother Fan could be so formidable; this was simply defying the heavens!

They knew Brother Fan was only at Divinity Soldier Second Grade cultivation, but his prowess definitely surpassed that of Second Grade cultivation. Even Divinity Soldier Third Grade may not achieve such a feat as Brother Fan, which was somewhat horrifying; it was a rarity even in the Divine Realm.

At this moment, Ye Ningbing saw Ding Fan's action, and her heart finally settled. Her once serious and tense face slowly revealed a captivating smile. Clearly, Ding Fan didn't let her down; believing in Ding Fan was indeed very correct.

However, Ye Ningbing was still very impressed with Ding Fan, never expecting that Ding Fan's progress was so rapid, which was rare in the world.

The two Hongshan Sect disciples who saw Ding Fan's action were completely stunned. They really never imagined Ding Fan, who was merely at the Nascent Soul Stage, could fight the zombie head-on at such close range and slay it. If this were told, no one would believe it.

But Ding Fan truly accomplished it. As they thought about it, they were also cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage, and for a moment felt deeply ashamed. Their gap compared to Ding Fan was simply too large. It wasn't even comparable; at this moment, Ding Fan was even more formidable in their eyes than Emergence Stage cultivators.

They knew that even Elder Fa struggled against the zombies and never defeated them, yet the young man not only slew many zombies but did so in close range against that one zombie, which was truly awesome!

At this moment, the two Hongshan Sect disciples also understood why the Sect sent this young man here to help slay zombies; it wasn't just some empty gesture, but a true display of strength.

The most shocked of all was Elder Fa. He truly never expected that not only did Ding Fan avoid harm at such close range, but he also slew the zombie, which was somewhat terrifying!

He knew best how incredibly powerful that zombie was. He was Nascent Soul Late Stage himself but struggled greatly against the zombie, not to mention how strong the zombie's power was, which even made him reluctant to confront it. Otherwise, he wouldn't still be entangled with this zombie.

At this moment, Elder Fa thought of his previous disdain for Ding Fan, and couldn't help but find himself laughable, pathetic...
