Top-tier Unruly Master-Chapter 1668 - 1705: Drinking Water

At this moment, the True Dragon was extremely furious. It truly did not expect that the human before it would once again vanish before its eyes, prompting the True Dragon to rage furiously. It spewed fire madly, absolutely unwilling to let the human before it go, even though this human had once again disappeared from its sight.

However, earlier it was the flames of the True Dragon that had driven the opponent out, so it firmly believed that it could force this human out again and then completely annihilate him.

At this time, Ding Fan was hiding behind a giant rock, surrounded by huge trees. The terrain was quite concealed, which was precisely what Ding Fan had considered a good hiding spot beforehand. But Ding Fan’s situation was not optimistic, as repeated use of the "Transcendent Strike" had left his Divine Vigor somewhat lacking.

One must know that should his Divine Vigor run dry at this time, it would indeed be a deadly threat to Ding Fan. Daybreak was approaching, making concealment even more challenging, and consuming even more Divine Vigor.

Fortunately, Ding Fan still had some medicine pills to replenish his Divine Vigor. He quickly took one, and his Divine Vigor was immediately replenished. Ding Fan felt much better. At this moment, Ding Fan paid no mind to those medicine pills. He understood deep down that as long as he could withstand the attacks of that big creature outside for a day and a night, it would be considered a victory.

No matter how many pills it took, Ding Fan would spare no effort.

Ding Fan now understood one thing: the True Dragon was indeed after him specifically. Ding Fan suspected with a high degree of certainty that the True Dragon was drawn to the Raw Pill he carried. Otherwise, it wouldn’t pursue him so fanatically every time he appeared.

It even disregarded other Yuan Beasts completely. As for Guo Linn and another person, the True Dragon seemed even less interested, focusing solely on him. To Ding Fan, this was both fortunate and perilous. The good part was that as long as Guo Linn and the other person hid well enough, they wouldn’t suffer from the True Dragon’s attacks.

So, it was very likely that Guo Linn and the other person could leave the Xuantian Secret Realm, but for Ding Fan, the skies were not looking so bright. Knowing that the True Dragon had its sights set on him, surviving the last day in the Xuantian Secret Realm would not be easy.

But fortunately, he still had some tricks up his sleeve. Ding Fan knew nightfall was in his favor. So, the toughest time for him would undoubtedly be when dawn broke. At that time, hiding would be more difficult.

Moreover, the strength of the True Dragon was no ordinary force – extremely powerful, way beyond what he could handle. But fortunately, he had the Frost Toad to counter the Dragon’s flames. However, his Frost Toad was no match for the True Dragon.

Ding Fan had to rely on himself in the end.

Rumble...

A tremendous roar echoed as the cave where Ding Fan and his companions had previously hid suddenly collapsed. This cave should have collapsed long ago; with the True Dragon’s relentless assault, even with the Ancient Formation Technique within, it wouldn’t hold out for long. But with Ding Fan and his companions out of the cave,

the True Dragon’s attention was entirely on them—more specifically, on Ding Fan himself. So for a while, it ceased to attack the cave. But now, even without further attacks from the True Dragon, the cave could no longer hold, finally collapsing.

Now, the True Dragon’s attention was drawn to the collapsing cave. As the cave collapsed, rubble scattered, and dust filled the air, revealing a clear stream of water. The True Dragon’s attention was immediately drawn to this stream.

The True Dragon ceased its fire-breathing and suddenly lunged toward the stream. Its powerful claws dug into the ground, and its dragon head began to drink the water continuously. The recent exertion seemed to have tired the True Dragon somewhat, and this was no ordinary stream.

This water contained a great amount of Spiritual Energy, an irresistible lure to the True Dragon. Witnessing this, Ding Fan finally breathed a slight sigh of relief, as it meant a temporary respite. Ding Fan immediately set about cultivating to restore his stamina.

Ding Fan believed that the True Dragon would not stay quiet for long and would likely resume its attacks soon, so he must seize the time to cultivate. Although the True Dragon was drinking water, Ding Fan dared not move significantly, believing the True Dragon’s senses to be sharp – any movement might give away his position, ruining his current rest.

Given that his Divine Vigor was severely depleted, even after taking a medicine pill, he needed to make the most of the time to recover.

...

At this moment, Guo Lin and Ah Du both witnessed the scene with the True Dragon and finally felt some relief. The True Dragon had stopped attacking, giving the two of them a moment to catch their breath. Previously, they had exhausted a significant amount of True Qi, and their inner True Qi was severely depleted. Now, they finally had a chance to rest and recover.

Guo Lin and Ah Du watched as the True Dragon drank the river water from the Sword Washing Pool. Ah Du realized this matched his estimations; the True Dragon attacked the cave indeed for this river water. However, one thing puzzled Ah Du: the True Dragon had shown a particular interest in Ding Fan previously, which made Guo Lin quite curious.

Logically, the three of them should be the same in the eyes of that creature, even akin to those Yuan Beasts. There was no reason for the True Dragon to be so interested in Ding Fan, repeatedly attacking him with unprecedented ferocity, which puzzled Ah Du deeply. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

However, he knew that it was indeed Ding Fan who drew the True Dragon’s attention before. He was not sure if the True Dragon would attack them as fiercely if it discovered the two of them. Thinking of this, Ah Du’s heart grew heavy; though Ding Fan could evade attacks, he feared he did not possess such skill.

Ah Du realized that even though his cultivation was at the Nascent Soul stage, facing the True Dragon might still be beyond his capability. He believed he would not be as lucky as Ding Fan, and he had no idea whether Ding Fan was alive or dead at that moment.

Earlier, he could determine that Ding Fan had indeed received their cries for help, hence distracting the True Dragon once more. But now, he had no clue about Ding Fan’s fate. Knowing he couldn’t go out to check, they and Ding Fan were completely separated.

Ah Du couldn’t help feeling a pang of pity; if Ding Fan indeed perished at the True Dragon’s mouth, it would be a great loss. Although Ah Du was reluctant to admit Ding Fan was much stronger than him, the truth was undeniable. Ding Fan was indeed more exceptional in the Cultivation World.

Such an outstanding cultivator dying in the Xuantian Secret Realm would indeed be regrettable, and his regret wasn’t solely for Ding Fan but also for the "Basic Martial Arts" that Ding Fan possessed. While Ah Du didn’t think highly of the "Basic Martial Arts," he knew it might not be better than his "Sword Drawing Technique," and perhaps it was just ordinary martial arts.

But as martial arts within the Xuantian Secret Realm, no matter how simple, they couldn’t be too inferior. If such martial arts were to be left in the Xuantian Secret Realm, it would indeed be a great pity...

"I wonder how Big Brother is doing?"

At this moment, Guo Lin was deeply worried about Ding Fan’s safety, and cautiously asked Ah Du through Divine Sense. Ah Du, hearing this, shook his head expressionlessly. He truly didn’t know Ding Fan’s current situation, but he feared the worst...

Although Guo Lin worried about Ding Fan’s safety now, he knew he could do nothing to save him. If Ding Fan truly fell at the True Dragon’s hands, he had no means to rescue him. Similarly, he understood that were they in danger, Big Brother wouldn’t be able to do much either.

After all, this True Dragon was overwhelmingly powerful, far beyond the capability of any ordinary cultivator to contend with. Not to mention cultivators like themselves; even those at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage might meet unfortunate ends facing such a Yuan Beast. Guo Lin felt a heavy burden in his heart...

Then, he stopped pondering over Ding Fan’s situation and shifted focus on how the two of them could survive against the True Dragon. Survival was crucial, and lasting another day would mean success!

True Dragon continued drinking river water, while nearby Yuan Beasts emerged from their hiding spots, scattering everywhere. The True Dragon noticed their activity, paused momentarily but resumed drinking, seemingly uninterested in the scurrying Yuan Beasts.

Guo Lin and Ah Du grew tense again. Numerous Yuan Beasts appeared, rapidly passing by them. Their hearts were pounding, but fortunately, no Yuan Beast noticed them.

It seemed, at this moment, the Yuan Beasts were too busy fleeing to bother with humans like Guo Lin and Ah Du. Just as they were beginning to relax, a menacing roar from behind startled them, their bodies shuddering in fear.

Turning around immediately, they saw a Sixth Grade Yuan Beast resembling a leopard, much more robust with razor-sharp fangs and piercing green eyes, looming behind them.

It was a genuine Sixth Grade Yuan Beast; as it locked onto them, the hair on Guo Lin’s neck stood. He was only at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, and facing such a beast, whose power rivaled that of Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivators, he couldn’t help but shiver in fear.

Ah Du felt equally anxious upon seeing the beast. Despite his capability to fight and possibly kill such a Yuan Beast, the current situation was far more dire than merely facing a single Sixth Grade Yuan Beast...
