Top-tier Unruly Master

At this moment, although Sun Hua was shocked by the elder's fierce Hurricane Technique, his mood was excellent. Obviously, he believed that no rival at the Nascent Soul Stage, not even someone like Ding Lin, could withstand such a powerful attack from Elder Zhao. Let alone if it was against a cultivator at the Spirit Severing Stage; facing such a terrifying attack from Elder Zhao would definitely not be pleasant. As for Ding Lin, he must have been utterly dead by now, turned to dust!

"Haha, Young Master, I doubt that this Ding Lin can do anything now! Elder Zhao's reputation is well-deserved; this hurricane is incredibly ferocious!"

At this moment, the scar-faced man, seeing the scene of Elder Zhao's hurricane, couldn't help but feel extremely proud. He figured, even if he just used his toes to think, he knew that Ding Lin was undoubtedly dead by now! The other party was merely a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage. Even if his strength was a bit stronger than his own, he would definitely not be a match for Elder Zhao. Elder Zhao's attack was so fierce at the moment, this was definitely Elder Zhao's strongest attack; how could Ding Lin possibly survive?

"Naturally, Elder Zhao is now a cultivator at the Spirit Severing Stage, let alone a mere Ding Lin. Even if ten more Ding Lins came, they would definitely all die! You must know that even back when Elder Zhao was at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, his power was formidable, and at home, aside from my father, no one was a match for Elder Zhao!"

"This time, Ding Lin is definitely dead! It's truly a bargain for Ding Lin, dying under Elder Zhao's strongest attack! You must know that Elder Zhao rarely uses this hurricane attack, we are truly lucky today to witness it firsthand..."

"Indeed, the luckiest one naturally was Ding Lin, who was closest to Elder Zhao. He was able to see it up close! Unfortunately, he has no life left now! Haha..."

"Haha... Well said!"

At this moment, the scar-faced middle-aged man and Sun Hua couldn't help but chuckle with great pleasure. It was clear that they were extremely happy seeing Ding Fan's death. For Sun Hua, it was evident that as long as Ding Lin was dead, the precious alchemy cauldron would naturally belong to him. Furthermore, with this, his father would obviously have an explanation, as his father had already ordered that Ding Lin must be killed. Although Sun Hua was not very clear about his father's plan, he knew that his father's plan would not be wrong; since his father was so determined to have Ding Lin killed, it was obvious that Ding Lin had already threatened his father's plan.

Now, Ding Lin is inevitably dead, so his father's plan will probably proceed smoothly! It's like a double blessing.

For the scar-faced man, seeing Ding Fan's current plight, he was obviously very happy. He believed that no matter how great Ding Lin's abilities were, he was undoubtedly going to die this time! Finally venting his anger, he couldn't forget the time when Ding Fan beat him in public. Clearly, he had already been harboring a deep grudge against Ding Fan. Seeing his enemy in such a state now, how could he not be pleased!

At this time, He Qianyao and the chubby shopkeeper were very worried about Ding Fan. It was obvious that with such a fierce attack by the elder, it was not something that an ordinary cultivator could handle. They realized that the foundation of a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator was indeed beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.

At this moment, not only the people in Ding Fan's courtyard were shocked by the elder's attack, but many cultivators nearby were also clearly stunned by the elder's hurricane. Many alchemists from the inn had quietly walked to the vicinity of Ding Fan's courtyard. Such a fierce attack wasn't something that ordinary cultivators could see every day, and obviously, many were extremely curious in their hearts.

Clearly, although everyone did not know who the elder's attack was aimed at, they were quite certain that such an attack was not something that an ordinary cultivator could withstand. Obviously, if the target of the elder's attack was certain to die!

Not to mention how terrifying the elder's hurricane was, even the sand and stones swept up by the hurricane were like countless extremely sharp daggers. These daggers could penetrate everywhere and were extremely small. If it were an ordinary Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, they would probably be shredded into pieces almost instantly by the hurricane. Clearly, such an attack was not something an ordinary cultivator could withstand.

Standing in the very center of the hurricane, Elder Zhao was evidently very confident in his heart, believing his strongest strike was absolutely fatal to the opponent! Not to mention the opponent was merely a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Early Stage; even if confronted with a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator, if not dead, they would surely be heavily injured. Such an attack was his hallmark move. Before reaching the Spirit Severing Stage himself, his Hurricane Technique could almost contend with a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator.

Let alone the fact that he had now broken through to the Spirit Severing Stage, even though the difference between the Nascent Soul Late Stage and the Spirit Severing Initial Stage was only one rank, only those who have gone through it know how vast the gap is, almost unimaginable!

Just like that plump shopkeeper whose cultivation was evidently not weak, already at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, missing just one step to reach the Spirit Severing Initial Stage like Elder Zhao. But this one step was clearly very distant, beyond explanation. Many cultivators, having reached the Late Nascent Soul Stage, already found it almost impossible to advance any further. No matter how hard they tried to reach the Emergence Stage, it was futile.

The difficulty of this is already evident, not to mention the challenge faced by Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators wanting to break through to the Spirit Severing Stage. Reaching the Nascent Soul Late Stage itself was already quite remarkable, surpassing the vast majority of cultivators in the Cultivation World. Breaking through to the Spirit Severing Stage was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Many cultivators at the Nascent Soul Late Stage spend their lives pursuing a breakthrough to the Spirit Severing Stage, but the lucky ones only succeed on the brink of death, allowing them to extend their lives for a few more years. But what use is that? Clearly, their time is already up, and living a few more years won't change their fate of death.

This illustrates how difficult it is for a cultivator to break through to the Spirit Severing Stage. Therefore, for someone like Elder Zhao, who has achieved this breakthrough before his end was near, it is truly an incredible feat. It shows the vast gap between the Nascent Soul Late Stage and the Spirit Severing Stage.

Thus, Elder Zhao's most powerful strike, with this level of strength, undoubtedly has formidable destructive power, clearly not something an ordinary cultivator can withstand. Elder Zhao was already convinced that Ding Lin was doomed!

But soon, to his surprise, a figure appeared in Elder Zhao's eyes, standing firm and unwavering, with an indistinct circle of lightning around him, protecting him securely from harm. As the engulfing yellow smoke gradually dispersed, the figure became more distinct—it could only be Ding Fan!

At this moment, a Pure Thunder Pill hovered above Ding Fan's head, emanating a circle of lightning that protected him completely. The elder's fierce Hurricane Technique had not harmed Ding Fan in the slightest.

Seeing this scene, the elder could not help but feel utterly shocked, never expecting his opponent to be completely unharmed, standing there perfectly intact—it was simply unbelievable!

The elder was dumbfounded, never expecting that his most powerful strike could not inflict any harm on his opponent—this was impossible!

The elder knew that his Hurricane Technique, not to mention a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator, would not leave someone in Spirit Severing Stage standing there so easily. Not only the main target of the attack but even nearby cultivators were left in a sorry state, yet his opponent remained perfectly unharmed—it was incredible!

Elder Zhao was utterly astonished, unable to believe what he was witnessing. He was now somewhat doubtful whether his opponent was truly a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator, for how could someone of that stage face his most powerful strike with such composure?

Soon, as the dust settled, figures of Ding Fan became visible to everyone—not only Elder Zhao could see it, He Qianyao was also staring at Ding Fan in utter shock. Ding Fan was not only still alive but completely unscathed—this was simply too incredible!

One must know that the opponent was a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator; the elder's previous attack had left nearby people in a very sorry state. Without the protection from the chubby boss, He Qianyao might have been half-dead from the attack; the elder's Hurricane Technique was so powerful that someone at the Nascent Soul Stage could not resist it. Even though Ding Fan was slightly more powerful than herself, Ding Fan couldn't just be unharmed—it was unimaginable!

However, when He Qianyao saw Ding Fan unharmed amidst the dust, apart from being shocked, she was sincerely happy in her heart, because Ding Fan was still alive and unharmed—it was such a wonderful thing!

The shock was not only felt by He Qianyao; the chubby boss was also extremely amazed to see Ding Fan standing there.

"This person is truly a prodigy! It's so miraculous..."

At this moment, the chubby boss couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, clearly, Ding Fan's current appearance had completely exceeded his expectations. It must be understood that the elder was a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator, and Ding Lin was merely a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator; yet he emerged unscathed from the elder's most powerful strike. What exactly was that circle of lightning around Ding Lin? What on earth was it? It was so powerful that even the elder's formidable Hurricane Technique couldn't breach it—it was simply too incredible!

At this moment, the chubby boss was deeply astonished by Ding Fan, and he found he could no longer comprehend the young man, as if this person was not just a genius! In the Cultivation World, he was already outstanding in alchemy, not only producing Supreme Quality Medicine Pills during the Great Alchemy Competition, but allegedly also the prodigy who revealed the method to preserve the Alchemy Cauldron—it was already impressive! It should be known that Ding Lin was just in his early twenties.

However, the chubby boss realized all these achievements weren't enough for Ding Lin; this person excelled not only in alchemy but also had incredible talent in cultivation! Facing an attack from a Spirit Severing Stage elder, he could still stand there so calmly—it was simply unimaginable!
