Top-tier Unruly Master-Chapter 1522 - 1559: I Am Ding Fan

"If you spare me, I can give you all the treasures of the Mountain Splitting Sect!"

The Spirit Severing Elder looked at Ding Fan with a somewhat pleading expression and said. At this moment, the elder was too weak; not to mention Ding Fan, even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator could easily kill him. Thus, he had no other options left. When he saw the young man approaching, the elder realized the formations suddenly disappeared and immediately understood. Clearly, the formations were set by none other than that young man.

Otherwise, how could the opponent control the formation so skillfully? The elder was greatly shocked, not expecting the young man’s cultivation to be so high, his strength so formidable, and that he was also a High Level Formation Master. It was truly unbelievable! At this moment, the elder thoroughly understood that the opponent was clearly not ordinary; he was definitely not just anyone.

So at this moment, the elder could do nothing but beg for mercy.

Ding Fan heard the elder’s words and said disdainfully:

"Even if I kill you, I can still obtain all your treasures."

"Alas..."

The elder sighed upon hearing this. Naturally, the opponent had no intention of sparing him. At this moment, the elder deeply regretted his actions. Had he known this, he wouldn’t have joined the Wild Wolf Gang in attacking the Dayang Sect. He should have known the opponent was extraordinary when his leg was severed by the young man. After all, he himself was a Spirit Severing stage cultivator.

Now, it’s too late for words, and Ding Fan saw the elder’s resignation; his expression softened slightly as he calmly said:

"Since you’ve given up resisting, I’ll grant you a swift end!"

"Wait!"

The elder interjected upon hearing this, and immediately asked:

"Though I’m doomed today, could you let me die knowing who you truly are?"

Hearing this, Ding Fan looked at the elder with scorn and then calmly replied:

"I am from the Dayang Sect, Ding Fan!"

"Ding Fan? Ding Fan..."

The elder was shaken upon hearing this. Recently, Ding Fan’s name had become very renowned. He was indeed from the Dayang Sect, and the sole survivor from the initial onslaught. Reportedly, he claimed first place in three rounds of the Great Alchemy Competition in Dancheng, refining Supreme Quality Medicine Pills with a success rate exceeding ninety percent, and thus gained fame.

Though several months had passed, many still knew of Ding Fan’s name. It’s said that in Dancheng, he killed a Spirit Severing elder, severely weakening the Wild Wolf Gang. The tales of Ding Fan have spread across Donglai Continent, but the Spirit Severing Elder knew this story. He was evidently astonished to realize the opponent was Ding Fan.

The elder also knew a piece of information about Ding Fan that others didn’t. Ding Fan was not only a Grade Nine Alchemist but also a High Level Formation Master, which was utterly shocking. The elder found it hard to believe this conception—could there truly be such formidable cultivators in the Cultivation World, especially so young? It sounded more like a divine tale.

Yet now, believing or not, the elder must accept the truth. This was no hearsay but witnessed firsthand. The opponent was indeed this young, and despite his age, he was not only a Grade Nine Alchemist but also skillful in cultivation, formidable enough to sever one of the elder’s legs effortlessly, even thinking of killing him was remarkably easy.

The elder was inevitably shocked; after all, he was a Spirit Severing stage cultivator, yet the opponent Ding Fan was so young, seemingly not even at the Spirit Severing stage, but incredibly powerful. Additionally, what shocked the elder even more was that Ding Fan was a Formation Master, and a High Level one at that, capable of refining advanced defensive arrays!

Boom...

The Spirit Severing Elder suddenly pulled out an Array Talisman from his chest and directly threw it at Ding Fan. Although the elder knew the opponent wasn’t ordinary, the desire to survive forced him to go all out, not giving up on even the slightest chance.

With a loud boom, the elder’s formation suddenly appeared beside Ding Fan, enveloping him with a faint barrier. Ding Fan saw this scene and felt a twinge of regret; he had indeed been somewhat careless, as his opponent was, after all, a Spirit Severing stage cultivator with numerous techniques.

At this moment, Ding Fan was not too nervous. Although he was enveloped by the opponent’s formation, he still released the Frost Toad. Instantly, a small point resembling ice shot out from Ding Fan’s hand, heading straight for the Spirit Severing Elder who was trying to escape. The Frost Toad quickly broke through the opponent’s formation and burrowed into the elder’s body.

The Spirit Severing Elder suddenly felt something enter his body and was momentarily stunned. In the next instant, with a look of terror on his face, he turned to look at Ding Fan, who was still within the formation. Then, with a loud bang, the Spirit Severing Elder collapsed, with an expression of disbelief. Even in death, he could not understand what that thing in his body was, nor why his True Qi couldn’t expel it from his body. It quickly devoured his dantian and severed his heart meridian. It was simply unbelievable!

What made the elder even more incredulous was that Ding Fan was already inside his formation, yet how could his thing come out of the formation? The formation was, after all, a Four-Star Middle-Level Formation. Although the elder was not one hundred percent confident that he could use the formation to kill his opponent.

After all, the opponent was also a High Level Formation Master, but at the very least, it should have been able to imprison him for a while. Yet somehow, whatever that thing was, it could ignore the existence of the formation. It was simply unbelievable! But these were merely the thoughts of the Spirit Severing Elder before his death. His last regret was provoking the Great Ocean Sect.

Obviously, it was too late for the elder to regret it now. Ding Fan quickly found the formation node surrounding him and easily destroyed it with a single Wind Blade. The formation enveloping Ding Fan slowly disappeared, and Ding Fan returned directly to the Great Ocean Sect’s stronghold. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The battle resulted in an overwhelming victory for the Great Ocean Sect. As for the Wild Wolf Gang cultivators, most were slain by Ding Fan’s formation, though a small number managed to escape. This caused Ding Fan to feel a slight sense of imperfection, yet he didn’t mind much.

Clearly, the Wild Wolf Gang had already discovered their location, making it no longer a suitable place to reside. Ding Fan realized that the current strength of the Great Ocean Sect was still too weak. They couldn’t even deal with a smaller sect, let alone one like the Wild Wolf Gang, as their strength was lacking.

The highest ranking elder among them, Wang Hu, only had a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation, and even the strength of their sect master was somewhat lacking. Although Ding Fan could rely on the Frost Toad to slay all cultivators below the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, his personal strength was only sufficient to deal with some Spirit Severing Initial Stage cultivators.

Ding Fan knew that although he was a divine warrior, his cultivation was only equivalent to the Nascent Soul Mid Stage, not even as high as Wang Hu’s. Clearly, this was somewhat low for a sect master, though it was quite good for an ordinary cultivator.

Thus, Ding Fan understood that the Great Ocean Sect needed time to develop, at least half a year. While this might seem like a long time to others, for Ding Fan, who was a Grade Nine Alchemist, he had confidence that such a time frame would suffice to significantly improve the sect due to the strong medicine pill resources at his disposal!

Ding Fan returned to the sect after slaying the Spirit Severing Elder. The disciples of the Great Ocean Sect were no longer tense and wore expressions of relaxed joy. For the first time, they faced a formidable enemy and, without losing a single soldier, defeated them solely with the sect master’s prowess. It was simply remarkable, and the cultivators of the Great Ocean Sect looked at Ding Fan with even greater admiration.

Nobody expected that their sect master was not only a Grade Nine Alchemist but also a High Level Formation Master. It was simply astounding! At just over twenty years old, their sect master had already achieved so much, achievements that were immeasurable. The disciples were more hopeful about the future of the Great Ocean Sect. It was clear that by following the sect master, their own achievements would not be lacking!

Afterward, Wang Hu and some of the elders from the Great Ocean Sect gathered under Ding Fan’s call in the conference hall. Other disciples collected remnants from the Wild Wolf Gang battlefield or resumed their normal cultivation. After slaying so many Wild Wolf Gang cultivators, the disciples were delighted, as the loot from the bodies, including Spirit Stones, Medicine Pills, and Spiritual Materials, was substantial.

...

"Mighty Sect Master, you defeated the Wild Wolf Gang and the Mountain Splitting Sect cultivators without sending a single soldier! Truly admirable!"

In the conference hall, an elder sincerely praised Ding Fan.

"Elder Sun is right. Nowhere else in the Cultivation World could you find a sect master so young with such formidable strength!"

"Indeed, indeed..."

...

For a moment, the other elders couldn’t help but praise Ding Fan, genuinely admiring him in their hearts. In their eyes, Ding Fan possessed extraordinarily high cultivation, and his achievements in both alchemy and formation mastery were unparalleled. Hearing these words, Ding Fan felt somewhat indifferent.

Though he did single-handedly slay the Wild Wolf Gang cultivators, what occupied Ding Fan’s thoughts was the future safety of the Great Ocean Sect. Now that the Wild Wolf Gang was aware of their location, it was clear this place was no longer suitable for a long stay.

Though Ding Fan had set up formations that could withstand another attack from the Wild Wolf Gang cultivators for a time, he knew that the strength of the Wild Wolf Gang was immeasurable compared to the current Dayang Sect. They not only had many Spirit Severing Stage cultivators but also numerous Transcendance Tribulation Stage ones.

Therefore, since this location was exposed, staying here was absolutely not an option!
