Top-tier Unruly Master

At this moment, He Qianyao saw this scene with Ding Fan and couldn't help but feel extremely shocked. She clearly hadn't expected Ding Fan to have killed that Spirit Severing Stage Elder; it was simply unbelievable! You must know that at the time, Ding Fan was trapped within the elder's formation, yet he still managed to kill the Spirit Severing Elder.

This was simply too horrific!

Not to mention He Qianyao's shocked face, no one among the crowd was not in shock. The people at the courtyard entrance were dumbfounded upon seeing this scene with Ding Fan, and truly couldn't believe that a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator actually killed a Spirit Severing Stage elder. This was something unimaginable.

This was an absolutely unprecedented occurrence in the Cultivation World; who had ever heard of a Spirit Severing Stage elder being slain by a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator? It was bizarre to an extreme degree. However, for everyone present, the facts were laid out before them; they had to believe it even if they didn't want to.

This Ding Lin actually managed to accomplish it alive and well! It's practically defying the heavens!

"My God, a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator was just killed! This is simply too outrageous!"

"Unbelievable, is that Ding Lin even human? He's practically a god-like existence!"

"This moment truly shows what a real prodigy is, not only unmatched in alchemy skills but also excelling in cultivation! His strength is formidable, he's simply a jack-of-all-trades!"

"I'm already somewhat in awe of Ding Lin now, such a person truly deserves to become a legendary character. It's just so legendary!"

"Incredible..."

...

At this moment, upon seeing this scene with Ding Fan, the crowd was stirred with shock, clearly unexpected by everyone. For a typical cultivator, it was something impossible to accomplish. You should know that the gap between a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator and a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator is not just a small difference.

It's evidently a huge one. One must know that there are several ranks between the two, and a significant level as well. For a cultivator, after reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, breaking through a level is an extremely difficult endeavor, hence the gaps between each level are enormous.

It can be said that a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator can handle at least ten Nascent Soul Mid Stage cultivators, while a Spirit Severing Initial Stage cultivator could easily deal with dozens or even hundreds of Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators. The gap is clearly significant and huge.

For someone like Ding Fan, merely a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator, to have killed a Spirit Severing Initial Stage cultivator, for most cultivators, this was an unthinkable act, absolutely impossible.

Yet at this moment, Ding Fan had accomplished it for real!

How could the crowd not be astounded? This was something that had never occurred in the Cultivation World. The crowd is now shocked, buzzing with discussions, and they look at Ding Fan like he's a freak, but no one dares show disrespect. After all, if a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator could be slain by him, then they, being mere small fries, wouldn't even make it past his teeth.

"This is just so miraculous! Truly a genius! Simply unbelievable..."

At this moment, the fat boss saw this scene with Ding Fan and couldn't help but feel extremely excited. Clearly, Ding Fan's actions had gone entirely beyond his expectations; even though he knew the other party was talented, he absolutely couldn't have imagined the other could kill Spirit Severing Stage Elder Zhao!

This is simply too shocking!

This is a true prodigy!

A prodigy speaks with strength, not talent!

For a moment, the fat boss's heart was uncertain, and that scene with Ding Fan indeed startled him. You must know that Elder Zhao wasn't just any ordinary cultivator; even other Spirit Severing Stage cultivators might not be able to match him. After all, even when at the Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation, Elder Zhao was much stronger than others of the same level.

Yet at this moment, Elder Zhao indeed fell into the hands of merely a Nascent Soul Early Stage youth! This is truly unbelievable! The fat boss saw that Ding Fan was not in danger and safe, and felt a moment of relief. Even though the fat boss was a person from the City Lord Mansion.

Clearly, the fat boss was associated with the City Lord; the City Lord had previously held a meeting to decide on how seriously to regard Ding Lin. He didn't know why the Vice City Lord wanted to secretly send people to kill Ding Lin. Yet seeing Ding Lin was unharmed, the fat boss felt relieved. Now he could report to the City Lord.

Moreover, the fat boss knew that once he reported Ding Lin's actions today to the City Lord, the City Lord would certainly be shocked by Ding Lin's performance.

Furthermore, the fat boss knew that the City Lord would certainly give more importance to this youth, as not only is he formidable in alchemy but can also rival a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator in terms of cultivation. Indeed, it's one-in-a-million genius. For a typical alchemist.

In the early stages, most Alchemists solely focus on the study of Medicine Pills, making them not particularly prominent in terms of cultivation, but someone like Ding Fan is truly rare. Importantly, Ding Fan is only in his early twenties, an age that marks him as a prodigy among prodigies.

Clearly, the fat boss understands in his heart that if the City Lord were to learn of such a young Cultivator, he would make every effort to establish ties with him; the benefits of associating with such a genius are simply too numerous, especially for the City Lord Mansion. It is widely known that if a Cultivator of this caliber were allowed to grow, they would become a formidable figure.

The fat boss knows that even if he can't cultivate a friendship with such a person, he absolutely cannot offend them, given the immense potential they hold. Offending such a Cultivator would clearly be terrifying.

Moreover, the fat boss is aware that Ding Fan not only possesses remarkable strength and astonishing talent but also holds a Jade Plate, which is not something an average Cultivator can acquire; he knows that in the entire City Lord Mansion, only the City Lord has such a Jade Plate.

This highlights the preciousness of the Jade Plate and the extraordinary status it represents.

From this, the fat boss can ascertain that Ding Lin has a certain background. Therefore, it's even more important not to offend him. The fat boss knows that today's events must be reported to the City Lord since the Vice City Lord has already taken certain actions.

Given that the Vice City Lord represents some interests of the City Lord Mansion, this matter could easily influence the Mansion's attitude toward Ding Lin. Hence, the fat boss knows he must report this to the City Lord.

Although he doesn't know what the Vice City Lord is plotting, the fat boss isn't overly worried. After all, the City Lord would bear any consequences, and this doesn't concern him much. Moreover, as a senior figure in the City Lord Mansion, he certainly doesn't need to fear the Vice City Lord.

Even if Elder Zhao were to fall at Ding Lin's hands, the fat boss would still feel no fear of the Vice City Lord.

Given Ding Lin's demonstrated power, the fat boss is very clear about which side he should take. His thoughts focus now on how to better protect Ding Lin. Since the Vice City Lord has taken steps against Ding Lin for unspecified reasons, he must enhance Ding Lin's protection.

The fat boss is also worried about Sun Hua, whom he knows as a notorious playboy. If not for his father's protection, Sun Hua could have already died multiple times due to the trouble he causes. Clearly, he lacks respect for rules and is capable of anything.

The fat boss fears that after the failed ambush on Ding Lin, they might resort to other measures.

Sun Hua, witnessing the scene with Ding Fan, is utterly shocked; his jaw dropped. He simply couldn't have imagined that a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator could have slain Elder Zhao. This is simply unbelievable! Bear in mind that Elder Zhao is a Spirit Severing Stage Cultivator!

Yet, the fact has left him incredulous.

Even now, he finds it hard to believe Ding Lin actually killed Elder Zhao. It seems inconceivable, especially since just moments ago, Ding Lin was trapped within Elder Zhao's Formation. Sun Hua, though not entirely understanding Elder Zhao's formation's Rank,

is smart enough to know that Elder Zhao's Formation is no simple matter. A Spirit Severing Stage Cultivator's Formation is never trivial, but imagining that Ding Lin not only didn't escape from the Formation but also managed to kill Elder Zhao is beyond comprehension!

This is simply bizarre!

How could such a Cultivator exist in this world; trapped within a Formation yet able to slay the Cultivator outside of it—this is slightly exaggerated!

Sun Hua finds it hard to accept the truth before him, that Elder Zhao of the Spirit Severing Stage was killed by a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator is quite shocking; had he not seen it himself, he would never have believed Elder Zhao could be slain by the other!

At that moment, the scar-faced man beside Sun Hua appears speechless from shock upon witnessing Ding Fan's actions. Clearly, he never anticipated that the other party would kill the Spirit Severing Stage Elder Zhao, something far beyond his imagination. His mind draws a blank, incapable of believing the reality of the situation, but it has happened unmistakably!

"Young Master, what should we do?"

After some time, the scar-faced man regains his senses, cautiously asking Sun Hua with an expression of extreme terror, knowing that Elder Zhao has been killed by the opponent; even though it's hard to believe, the fact remains. Next, it would be themselves that the opponent might target. After all, if a Spirit Severing Stage Elder can be killed,

for Cultivators like them, they are insignificant in the opponent's eyes. Clearly, the scar-faced man realizes the danger he and Sun Hua are in.

Upon hearing the scar-faced man's words, Sun Hua snaps back to reality and hurriedly says:

"Let's get out of here!"

Clearly, Sun Hua also realizes the severity of the problem, his hatred for Ding Lin growing deeper. He knows that with Elder Zhao now dead at the other's hand, his father will not take this lightly; after all, Elder Zhao was a powerhouse of the family, their strongest. Losing such a powerful figure is undeniably a significant loss for the family.

Sun Hua's heart is filled with resentment toward Ding Fan, knowing that even though Ding Lin has killed Elder Zhao, they will certainly, in future, make the other pay a heavy price!
