Top-tier Unruly Master-Chapter 1513 - 1550: Linked Formations

At the same time, Wang Hu was extremely happy in his heart. He was naturally very clear that this Mortal Fist was definitely not an ordinary fist technique. Currently, Wang Hu had not seen any martial arts better than this Mortal Fist. Just the first move, the Golden Dragon Emergence, had easily defeated countless cultivators of the same rank. It was conceivable that the second move must also be an incredibly formidable existence.

Immediately, Ding Fan directly demonstrated this second move, "Dragon Capturing Palm."

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The series of fist techniques performed by Ding Fan dazzled Wang Hu, leaving him extremely shocked. Especially with Ding Fan’s final move, he directly and quickly sucked a large jar from a distance. Ding Fan stopped the jar right after it was pulled in. Otherwise, with just a little more force, the jar would have shattered completely. Watching this, Wang Hu was filled with waves of shock. Indeed, the second move of the Mortal Fist was extraordinary!

"Great Fist Technique, big brother!"

Wang Hu sincerely praised.

Hearing Wang Hu’s words, Ding Fan couldn’t help but say:

"If you train this second move of the Mortal Fist to a deep level, the Dragon Capturing Palm can be executed anytime and anywhere, with great unpredictability." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Wang Hu was deeply shocked. It wasn’t only the moves that shocked him but also the brother himself. He obviously never expected that his big brother had cultivated to such a level. He feared he could never catch up with his big brother. However, Wang Hu was quite content with his current state. Now, he was the second most powerful in the Dayang Sect, second only to his big brother. This was something Wang Hu never dared to even dream about before. Clearly, Wang Hu was full of gratitude towards his big brother.

After chatting for a while, Wang Hu left Ding Fan’s room. At the same time, Wang Hu resolutely decided to take advantage of the time while the Wild Wolf Gang hadn’t arrived to master the second move of the Mortal Fist.

Once Wang Hu went out, Zhou Ruoran came directly into Ding Fan’s room. When Ding Fan saw Zhou Ruoran, a touch of tenderness involuntarily surfaced in his eyes. Zhou Ruoran was still as beautiful and graceful as ever, but her bright eyes were brimming with tears of joy and excitement upon seeing Ding Fan return. Then, Ding Fan and Zhou Ruoran immediately embraced each other tightly...

Inside Ding Fan’s wooden house, the sound of their voices didn’t stop. Both Ding Fan and Zhou Ruoran had so much to say to each other...

During the day, Ding Fan and Zhou Ruoran didn’t leave the room, and naturally, no one dared to disturb them. By evening, Zhou Ruoran helped Ding Fan tidy up his collar, and then they both left towards the banquet. It was a welcome banquet for Ding Fan. Although Ding Fan had long reached the fasting stage, he couldn’t refuse the brothers’ enthusiasm.

At the banquet, Ding Fan saw He Qianyao. Seeing Ding Fan appear, He Qianyao was also very excited and happy. However, with Zhou Ruoran present, He Qianyao understood that she didn’t have a clear relationship with Ding Fan, unlike Zhou Ruoran. Naturally, she couldn’t approach Ding Fan as Zhou Ruoran did immediately. Yet, her longing for Ding Fan was no less than Zhou Ruoran’s.

When Ding Fan saw He Qianyao, he was pleasantly surprised to find that her cultivation had already reached the Nascent Soul Mid Stage. Clearly, she had made significant progress during this time, which made Ding Fan very pleased. To Ding Fan, He Qianyao no longer showed any signs of the previous sloth and dejection caused by the destruction of the Dayang Sect.

Ding Fan knew that the Dayang Sect now had a fundamental structure and was gradually developing. Given enough time, Ding Fan believed that one day the Dayang Sect could achieve its former glory, becoming a sect that all cultivators on the Donglai Continent wish to join and greatly admire. Presumably, He Qianyao, seeing all this, wouldn’t feel so distressed anymore.

From time to time, Ding Fan talked with He Qianyao, gaining a general understanding of her experiences during this period. Zhou Ruoran watched the interactions between Ding Fan and He Qianyao and remained calm and quiet. Zhou Ruoran understood that someone as exceptional as Ding Fan would naturally attract many beautiful women, and such things were inevitable. Hence, Zhou Ruoran was already mentally prepared and wasn’t particularly concerned about how Ding Fan interacted with other girls. As long as Ding Fan loved her, that was enough for Zhou Ruoran!

After the banquet ended, Ding Fan spoke to Zhou Ruoran and then returned alone to his room to begin refining Mysterious Thunder Array Talismans. After all, the cultivators from the Wild Wolf Gang hadn’t arrived yet, and everything was uncertain. Although Ding Fan destroyed their Sky Cannon, their numbers were considerable, and the Wild Wolf Gang was recently expanding its power, clearly having subdued many sects. Therefore, Ding Fan had to be extra cautious in dealing with the Wild Wolf Gang.

Regarding the materials for refining the Mysterious Thunder Array Talismans, Ding Fan had enough in hand. Within one night, Ding Fan had already refined three Mysterious Thunder Array Talismans. These talismans, if not detonated, would inflict a violent attack of Mysterious Thunder within a few miles radius. Although its power was slightly inferior to the Sky Cannon, it was not to be underestimated. Even cultivators at the Nascent Soul Mid Stage might not necessarily withstand its attack.

Moreover, with the existence of Pure Thunder Pill on Ding Fan, combined with this Pure Thunder Pill, even if faced with Spirit Severing stage cultivators, Ding Fan had confidence he could kill them in a single blow. In the latter part of the night, Ding Fan began cultivating. He already felt that his Divine Vigor was showing signs of growth. However, breaking through that barrier clearly required some time. Ding Fan believed it wouldn’t take long before he could break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage. At that point, even when facing mid-stage Spirit Severing cultivators, Ding Fan would have the ability to contend with them, and killing them wouldn’t be impossible.

For several consecutive days, Ding Fan spent his daytime refining Mysterious Thunder Array Talismans and setting up formations at this outpost. Naturally, Ding Fan wasn’t comfortable betting everything on the Mysterious Thunder Array Talismans, especially since the Dayang Sect would occupy this site for an extended period, yet no proper formations were established here. This, of course, was unacceptable, as Ding Fan understood that a sect’s strength largely depended on its formations.

Take the previous situation of the Dayang Sect, for instance. If an insider hadn’t sabotaged the sect’s formations, the Wild Wolf Gang would never have even thought of destroying the Dayang Sect, as it would have been utterly impossible. Therefore, Ding Fan also needed to set up some formations at this base. Although Ding Fan wasn’t an exceptionally skilled Formation Master, arranging some intermediate formations wasn’t an issue for him.

It’s known that intermediate formations, especially Six Stars formations, could present a challenge even for cultivators at the Spirit Severing Stage, requiring them to be cautious, such formations being tremendously powerful. If a cultivator at the Spirit Severing Stage were to fall into a Six Stars Killing Formation, escaping it would be an immensely difficult task.

Moreover, news of the Dayang Sect’s presence here had already reached the Wild Wolf Gang, and surely more cultivators would hear about it in the future. Should other sects provoke them, the only protection for the sect’s base in Ding Fan’s absence would be these formations. Consequently, Ding Fan spent two days setting up a chain of formations at the Dayang Sect’s base in the Wolong Mountain Range.

This formation included a Concealment Formation, a remarkably strong Defensive Array, a Spirit Gathering Array, and a Mysterious Thunder Killing Formation. Apart from the Defensive Array, the other formations reached the Six Stars level, epitomizing the peak of intermediate formations. As for the Defensive Array, Ding Fan expended considerable effort to set up a Seven Stars formation, clearly placing it among the ranks of Advanced Array Formations.

Ding Fan knew that once this Defensive Array was activated, even a mid-stage Spirit Severing cultivator wouldn’t be able to breach it. The only way to break this array would be through the prolonged efforts of a late-stage Spirit Severing cultivator or a Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator, and even that would require nearly half a month. This duration would provide ample time for the Dayang Sect’s cultivators to escape or relocate.

Moreover, even though the Mysterious Thunder Killing Formation Ding Fan set up was a Six Stars formation, it was already approaching the level of a Seven Stars formation. If a Spirit Severing cultivator entered the sect’s formations, they might only barely withstand the Mysterious Thunder Killing Formation, making any form of counterattack impossible. As for those below the mid-stage Spirit Severing, they would simply be eliminated instantly.

After spending nearly three days and nights completing these formations, Ding Fan finally breathed a slight sigh of relief. The presence of these formations meant that the safety of the Dayang Sect was significantly enhanced. Now, even if the Wild Wolf Gang’s cultivators launched a full-scale assault, the Dayang Sect’s cultivators would still have a chance to escape and hold them off for a while.

As for those small sects or mid-level sects attempting to break his formations, it would naturally be impossible. However, even if they managed to breach the formations, the time left for the Dayang Sect’s retreat would be sufficient.

Having done all this, Ding Fan returned to his room, where he had already refined ten Mysterious Thunder Array Talismans. Clearly, even if the Wild Wolf Gang’s cultivators attacked, Ding Fan had nothing to fear. At this moment, Wang Hu couldn’t help but knock on Ding Fan’s door.

"What’s the matter?"

Ding Fan asked directly.

"Big brother, the Mountain Splitting Sect’s leader has come again! The elder seems unfriendly!" Wang Hu said solemnly.

Upon hearing Wang Hu’s words, Ding Fan calmly replied:

"Alright, since they’re here, let’s meet them."

"Hmm, hmm."

Wang Hu then followed Ding Fan directly to the conference hall. When Ding Fan arrived, an elder and a middle-aged man respectfully stood behind the elder. Ding Fan casually walked in and sat down calmly at the main seat.

"To what do we owe this visit?"

Then, Ding Fan asked calmly.

The elder had a somewhat corpulent figure, but his eyes were sharp and bright, clearly an extraordinary person, at least at an initial Spirit Severing cultivation level. The middle-aged man standing behind him was burly and had an imposing aura, although slightly inferior to the elder, he was at a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation level.

With a glance, Ding Fan could see their cultivation levels without missing a detail. However, to them, Ding Fan seemed to not even have reached a Nascent Soul Stage cultivation level, which stirred surprise in both the elder and the middle-aged man.
