Top-tier Unruly Master-Chapter 1508 - 1545: Discovery

Ding Fan pondered for a moment. Even if he took out these cultivators, the Four Skyscraper Cannons couldn’t be moved by just one person, and his storage ring definitely couldn’t hold such large cannons, let alone four of them. Even if he managed to kill these nearly three hundred Wild Wolf Gang cultivators, it would merely be a temporary fix; the Wild Wolf Gang clearly already knows the location of the Dayang Sect.

The Wild Wolf Gang will certainly send more cultivators, and Ding Fan knew it wasn’t an easy task to slay nearly three hundred Wild Wolf Gang cultivators. Among them was a cultivator at the Dividing Spirit Stage, and even if he succeeded, he couldn’t guarantee that none would escape. If even one Wild Wolf Gang cultivator fled,

the Wild Wolf Gang would quickly learn about the situation here, and would soon deploy troops to attack the Dayang Sect. With himself still three days away from the Wolong Mountain Range, time was evidently very tight for him, so it would be better to first destroy their Skyscraper Cannons, and then hasten his steps back to Wolong Mountain Range, to warn his brothers in the Dayang Sect to prepare in time.

Ding Fan knew that there were still many cultivators back there, and even if they needed to relocate, it would take some time to prepare.

This also allowed him some preparation time to refine a few array talismans, making it easier to deal with these hundreds of cultivators when the time came.

Having made up his mind, Ding Fan extinguished the campfire in front of him. Next, he needed to track the Wild Wolf Gang’s cultivators and find a way to destroy their Skyscraper Cannons, which posed a significant threat to the Dayang Sect.

Then, Ding Fan concealed his cultivation level and began cultivating, while his divine sense vigilantly monitored the situation over there.

Several hours passed, and now, a kilometer away from Ding Fan, the voices of the Wild Wolf Gang cultivators had fallen silent, as the ones who needed to rest had gone to sleep.

Under the bright moonlight, Ding Fan slowly opened his eyes, a sharp gleam flashing through them. Although it was already late at night, it was the perfect time for Ding Fan to launch a surprise attack.

A shadow quickly flashed through the forest, heading towards the campsite of the Wild Wolf Gang cultivators.

When Ding Fan arrived at the campsite, most of the Wild Wolf Gang’s cultivators had already turned off their lights and gone to sleep. Concealing his aura, Ding Fan walked quietly to the location of the Skyscraper Cannons. Several sleeping Wild Wolf Gang cultivators, at the Nascent Soul Stage, were guarding the cannons.

Swish, swish, swish!

Ding Fan unleashed several wind blades that immediately killed the sleeping cultivators. These cultivators wouldn’t be waking up from this sleep ever again.

Ding Fan lifted the black cloth covering the Skyscraper Cannon. Despite being called the Skyscraper Cannon, it looked more like a large array plate. It was the first time Ding Fan had seen this; he had only heard of it before. He was initially worried he wouldn’t understand this device, but discovering it was an array plate allayed his concerns.

Although Ding Fan was not an especially skilled Formation Master, he understood general formations well enough. So, he began examining the Skyscraper Cannon. To his surprise, it was a complex piece of machinery, one not merely consisting of a simple battle technique; its outer layer was a protective formation, clearly not easy to destroy.

Then, Ding Fan slowly released his Divine Vigor towards one of the key points within the Skyscraper Cannon, his Divine Vigor rushing like the waters of the Yellow River towards it. Yet, he found it baffling that no matter how he attacked, he couldn’t destroy the formation—it was incredible! Ding Fan felt perplexed.

After some time, sweat appeared on Ding Fan’s forehead as he stopped attacking the formation and began inspecting the Skyscraper Cannon again. It was clearly more complicated than he initially thought...

"There are actually two key points!"

Upon discovering another key point, Ding Fan couldn’t help but exclaim in shock. He had never before encountered a formation with two key points—it was unbelievable! However, he soon came to terms with it; after all, he wasn’t a formations specialist, and the Cultivation World was full of oddities. Just because he hadn’t seen such a formation didn’t mean it didn’t exist.

With this discovery, Ding Fan’s research approach expanded greatly. He quickly understood that the Skyscraper Cannon wasn’t a simple formation but a highly complex array plate, where formations were layered on top of one another. To dismantle the Skyscraper Cannon, he needed to first break through the protective formation surrounding it, which required attacking both key points simultaneously, as targeting just one would not suffice.

For an average cultivator, this would prove difficult, considering the amount of True Qi needed just for one key point was significant. With two, it required double the True Qi, making it unattainable for even cultivators at the Emergence Stage. However, this was not too challenging for Ding Fan; since he practiced Spiritual Cultivation, his Divine Vigor was many times more powerful than ordinary True Qi energy.

Therefore, Ding Fan attacked both key points with both hands while laying a simple Sound-Cancelling Array around the Skyscraper Cannon. After a short while, the protective formation was broken with a low, dull thud. Thanks to the Sound-Cancelling Array, the surrounding Wild Wolf Gang cultivators remained undisturbed and asleep.

Subsequently, Ding Fan destroyed the first Skyscraper Cannon. After finishing, he couldn’t help but feel a tinge of regret, as the Skyscraper Cannons were good devices, yet his Dayang Sect wasn’t mature enough yet,
