Top-tier Unruly Master

At this moment, the four Guardians stood in a row, and a tall, skinny man stepped forward. "Xue Gang, I see where you can run to now. You've killed our people from the Sanshui Sect, do you think you can just hide and be okay?"

The man called Xue Gang, whose face bore a scar, was on guard. "Xiao Zhang, take the others and go first, I've got this."

The tall, skinny man snorted. "Today, none of you will be able to leave."

As soon as he had finished speaking, a figure charged straight towards Xue Gang's back. Xue Gang naturally knew that the target was Ding Fan and the others behind him.

No matter what, Ding Fan was the person Elder Mu wanted to invite. Such a person, he dared not let any harm befall them, after all, it was also part of his mission.

Xue Gang was about to intercept the person rushing towards his back when suddenly, a dazzling golden light shot forth, startling him. The golden light was fierce; although he didn't know what it was, Xue Gang dared not take it lightly, and he was immediately forced back a step by the golden light.

Boom... A muffled sound echoed, and the place where Xue Gang had been standing was blasted into a large pit...

Xue Gang's expression was one of shock; judging from the attack power, the golden light must have been fired from a Magic Artifact. The four opponents actually possessed a Magic Artifact.

"Xue Gang, you want to save your people? I insist on making you watch as your people die..."

The tall, skinny man sneered, but before he could finish, a figure suddenly flew back towards him from behind Xue Gang.

Thud! A muffled sound rang out, leaving everyone stunned. When they looked over, the figure that had flown back wasn't anyone else but the one the tall, skinny man had sent to catch Ding Fan and the others.

The tall, skinny man's face darkened, as the person shot back had eyes rolled back, his body convulsing, foaming at the mouth, and it was clear he wouldn't be able to stand up for a while.

Xue Gang, witnessing this scene, was equally astonished. The five Guardians of the Sanshui Sect had a rather impressive reputation among the Hidden Sects. After all, when he had slain one of their Guardians, it was after a fierce fight that lasted half a day, resulting in mutual injuries before he managed the kill.

Yet now, the person who was flung back had just charged to their rear, which in terms of time, was at most only ten seconds. To be beaten into such a state in just ten seconds was beyond belief if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes. How could someone have sent flying one of the five Guardians in under ten seconds?

And the person who had sent the Guardian flying, Xue Gang did not believe was one of his own companions. He knew well Xiao Zhang's capabilities.

He quickly turned his head to look, curious to see who could be so formidable.

When Xue Gang turned his head and saw clearly who the person was, his mouth hung open in shock for a long moment. The person who appeared before him was none other than Ding Fan, the very person they had just picked up from the airport...

Ding Fan stood there, with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent. There was no need for words; everyone could tell that it was Ding Fan who had just sent that man flying.

Behind Ding Fan was Xiao Zhang, his face still displaying an undissipated look of astonishment.

When Ding Fan previously said the others were all trash, Xiao Zhang thought Ding Fan was just boasting, but he had personally witnessed Ding Fan kicking the assailant away.

"Friend! This is a grudge between the Sanshui Sect and Xue Gang, I hope you won't interfere," the tall, skinny man spoke politely to Ding Fan after pondering for a moment.

The tall, skinny man wasn't foolish; although he couldn't discern Ding Fan's cultivation, he was sure Ding Fan was a tough character. Anyone who could kick a Guardian away with a single foot could not be an ordinary person.

"If you don't want to end up with missing arms and broken legs, you'd better leave," Ding Fan said to the people opposite in an indifferent tone.

The five Guardians were impressive, but it depends on who they were compared to. Their cultivation was mostly at the Human Level fourth or fifth grade, while Ding Fan was now at the Fifth Level of Qi Cultivation. With his current cultivation, dealing with these people wasn't a big deal.

Arrogance required capital, and at this moment, Ding Fan certainly had that capital!

"So it seems, you're determined to be the enemy of the Sanshui Sect?" the tall, skinny man frowned, his tone growing deeper.

"If you insist on courting death, then I won't stop you!" Ding Fan's tone remained indifferent.

"Fine. If that's how it is, then don't blame us for being ruthless!" the tall, skinny man said, and a golden light shot forth again.

Xue Gang, having just experienced the power of that golden light, hurriedly shouted at Ding Fan, "Be careful!"

Ding Fan's Divine Sense had been locked onto the opponent the entire time, ready for any movement. When the golden light shot his way, Ding Fan's figure flickered.

All present were utterly dumbfounded.

Ding Fan's figure seemed to perform a trick of sorcery, vanishing into thin air, as if he had never been standing there before.

"How... how is this possible!" The tall, skinny man was in disbelief; throughout his life, he had seen many people with impressive movement techniques, but none like Ding Fan's display of skill today.

At this point, it wasn't just the five Guardians; even Xue Gang and Xiao Zhang were flabbergasted. Such a movement technique was simply defying the heavens, perhaps not even those at the Peak of Human Level could match it...

Xue Gang understood by now that Ding Fan must have used a Magic Artifact to hide his cultivation; how ridiculous of him to have thought earlier that Ding Fan had no cultivation at all...

He was far too ignorant.

And while everyone was still in a state of shock, Ding Fan had already appeared on the other side. With a sudden raise of his right hand, a sharp and piercing sound of slicing through the air rang out directly, screeching loudly.

That screeching sound was like a blade against one's back, causing all the hairs on one's body to stand on end involuntarily.

Splurt... At that moment, a Wind Blade swept past, and a burst of blood appeared! Thud, thud, two bodies were directly cleaved into two pieces and fell to the ground.

What the hell! Too fierce!

Xue Gang and Xiao Zhang were dumbstruck.

In front of them, the four Guardians, from the start of the fight until now, hadn't even touched the hem of Ding Fan's clothes, and one was already kicked into severe injury while two others were killed. How domineering this was.

What is called shocking, this is it!

At this time, of the four Guardians who came to provoke, only the tall and thin one was still able to stand. However, he was shaking like a leaf in the wind, his eyes full of terror. Just by looking at him, it was clear he had already lost the will to fight.

"Predecessor... it was my fault, please spare my life!"

With a thud, the tall and thin man kneeled directly on the ground and began knocking his head on the floor before Ding Fan.

At that moment, where was the slightest bit of the tall and thin man's previous arrogance? Where was the pride of a Hermit known far and wide? Looking at him begging for mercy, he was no different than a pug begging for food.

Swish... Ding Fan raised his hand again and another Wind Blade slashed out, and upon looking again, the tall and thin man was directly cleaved into two by Ding Fan, his body falling straight to the ground.

Another kill!

Xue Gang and Xiao Zhang weren't new to seeing someone being killed, but they had never seen someone execute with such decisive killing like Ding Fan. His killings were as indifferent as slaughtering chickens or dogs, as if he wasn't killing people at all.

How would Xue Gang and others know? Having struggled through the rivers of blood and mountains of corpses in the Cultivation World, Ding Fan had long since learned an ultimate truth.

That is...

Mercy to an enemy is cruelty to oneself!

If the weeds aren't removed by the roots, there will inevitably be great trouble left for oneself. Therefore, if one wants to live longer, one must uproot those weeds, showing not a hint of mercy toward enemies.

"Many thanks to the predecessor for the help, I am deeply sorry for the offense earlier, please forgive this transgression!"

At this time, Xue Gang very respectfully came before Ding Fan and gave a proper Martial Artist's salute.

Ding Fan returned the salute with a Martial Artist's courtesy. "You are too kind..."

Although Xue Gang was a rough man, he was quite loyal. Facing the four Guardians earlier, knowing it was a certain death situation, he still actively told Xiao Zhang to take them and leave. Such righteous self-sacrifice wasn't something everyone was capable of. Because of this, Ding Fan felt a bit of goodwill towards Xue Gang.

Now that the four Guardians had been dealt with, although one wasn't killed, Ding Fan's kick had thrown his meridians into chaos, making it impossible for him to continue Martial Cultivation. That person could still be useful to Xue Gang and the others, so Ding Fan simply decided to let him live and did not kill him.

Everyone then took care of the scene. After all, it was a society under the rule of law and killing so many people required them to deal with the site, even though they had the backup of Task Unit 3567.

After all, if it caused societal turmoil, it wouldn't be good.

While dealing with the scene, what Ding Fan cared about most was the Magic Artifact belonging to the four Guardians that could emit golden light.

After a quick search, Ding Fan found the artifact hidden among the grass.

As it happened, it was a bracelet with some Formations set on it. Although the Formations were not intricate and the grade of the Magic Artifact wasn't high, Ding Fan still took the bracelet with him.

The Magic Artifact that Ding Fan took, Xue Gang and Xiao Zhang naturally knew about it. They also coveted the Magic Artifact, but they had no objections when Ding Fan claimed it.

If it weren't for Ding Fan's presence, they would have been trapped by others long ago; forget about the later four Guardians, even the four gunmen earlier might have directly cost them their lives.

After dealing with the scene, it didn't take too much time, but what was awkward was that their car was now scrapped. Therefore, they had no choice but to use the grey sedan previously ridden by the four Guardians.

After several people got in the car, Xue Gang directly started the vehicle and it quickly vanished into the night...
