Top-tier Unruly Master-Chapter 1677 - 1714: Foolish Dragon
Ah Du naturally also saw what was happening on Ding Fan’s side, and was equally shocked in his heart. The True Dragon seemed to have completely changed form, even turning from gold to black. Just by looking at it, it was terrifying. Being attacked by such a creature was undoubtedly a deadly affair.
At the same time, Ah Du noticed Guo Linn’s expression. Understanding what he was thinking, Ah Du forcefully patted his shoulder, then anxiously said with urgency:
"Hurry up, we don’t have much time. We have to choose to trust Ding Fan!"
Upon hearing Ah Du’s words, Guo Linn’s eyes were filled with tears as he looked in Ding Fan’s direction. Deep down, he knew that his big brother might not be able to escape from the True Dragon this time. After all, the True Dragon had gone completely mad and had transformed into an entity far beyond Ding Fan’s capability to handle. It would certainly not be an adversary that they could confront.
Ultimately, Guo Linn was forcibly pulled by Ah Du, fleeing towards the direction Ding Fan had previously instructed them to go. Yet, he was exceedingly worried about Ding Fan. Facing such a True Dragon wouldn’t be easy; let alone Ding Fan, even a Cultivator at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage might not stand a chance!
Afterwards, Guo Linn followed Ah Du eastwards. By this time, Ding Fan had managed to attract the True Dragon’s attention. Of course, the cost was grave; Ding Fan was subjected to an unprecedented assault, feeling enveloped by a fierce gale. Meanwhile, the Mysterious Thunder relentlessly pounded down from the sky, far more powerful than anything Ding Fan had previously endured.
For a moment, Ding Fan felt the pressure exerted by the Pure Thunder Pill. Yet he understood that regardless of the stress the Pure Thunder Pill had to withstand, he had to persevere. Otherwise, without its defense, Ding Fan knew he couldn’t endure the Mysterious Thunder’s assault.
Ding Fan believed that if such Mysterious Thunder truly struck him, it would be the end. No matter how strong his defenses were, it wouldn’t be enough.
The attacks Ding Fan faced weren’t limited to the True Dragon’s Mysterious Thunder. The flames exhaled by the True Dragon also filled his surroundings, and the searing temperature nearly suffocated him. Fortunately, Ding Fan released some Arctic Chill to alleviate the scorching heat around him.
After all, the Frost Toad within Ding Fan’s bloodline was in no way inferior to the True Dragon, thus allowing the Arctic Chill of the Frost Toad to barely counter the True Dragon’s flames. Nevertheless, Ding Fan knew he couldn’t remain solely on the defensive; he needed to break through the encircling gale and escape.
Subsequently, Ding Fan executed the Transcendent Strike, vanishing from his original spot. However, upon reappearing, he was still within the gale’s bounds. Ding Fan realized it wasn’t that his "Transcendent Strike" had failed, but the gale surrounding the True Dragon was simply too vast, making it impossible for him to teleport out in just one move.
Nonetheless, Ding Fan wasn’t one to give up easily. Observing the surrounding scene of dust and sand, he was aware that his surroundings had been completely ravaged by the True Dragon. So, Ding Fan cast additional Mist Spell, further escalating the chaos around him.
The instant Ding Fan unleashed the Mist Spell, dense fog rose throughout the space, intertwining with the gusting gale. The situation around Ding Fan became even more chaotic. He aimed to create enough confusion to obscure the True Dragon’s vision, helping him escape undetected.
Finding the Mist Spell insufficient, Ding Fan resorted to spells for manipulating trees and earth. In no time, the branches around him awoke; the surrounding trees, being mostly Thousand-Year Ancient Trees in possession of some intelligence, started reacting.
Although these ancient trees possessed limited intelligence, they were aware of the unsurmountable threat posed by the True Dragon. Even the whipping vines that previously lashed at the airborne True Dragon had proven futile, barely scratching it.
Thus, they opted for a defense strategy, hoping to minimize damage. Yet, under the control of Ding Fan’s spell, the ancient trees had no choice but to submit to his command. Ding Fan didn’t subject them to any extreme danger, merely prompting them to stir up the dust on the ground.
In no time, Ding Fan formed a protective layer with Divine Vigor, shrouding his surroundings in profound chaos. The volatile wind swept through with such intensity that Ding Fan himself couldn’t discern what lay ahead. Everything in his vicinity whirled and spiraled.
But Ding Fan didn’t stop there; he continued modulating spells. The ground’s massive rocks were summoned by him. Ding Fan held deep admiration for the magic formation left behind by the village elder at the Sword Washing Pool. Its sheer power was astonishing.
It wasn’t merely a manipulation of weather elements; even terrain and living entities could be commanded. The magic was truly remarkable! Ding Fan was astonished; deploying the magic formation for the first time exceeded his expectations.
The spells recorded in the "Basic Martial Arts" that Ding Fan had were different from the ones Guo Linn obtained. They were improved by the village elder, making them more practical and easier to refine, therefore Ding Fan’s practice was not only more targeted but also easier than Guo Linn’s.
Moreover, Ding Fan’s cultivation talent was much better than ordinary cultivators. Within the same timeframe, Ding Fan not only practiced the magic martial arts but also learned many other martial arts from the village elder. He even reached the Fifth Sword Technique of Ah Du’s Sword Drawing Technique, two sword techniques ahead of Ah Du.
This was something Guo Linn and Ah Du were unaware of, and it was something that pleased Ding Fan. He did not plan to share the secrets of the "Basic Martial Arts" with others. At this moment, Ding Fan thought of this and couldn’t help but admire the village elder’s strategy.
By naming his life’s work "Basic Martial Arts", the village elder not only chose a modest name but also reduced many troubles for the inheritor. After all, seeing merely the name "Basic Martial Arts", others would not be too interested.
This undoubtedly helped Ding Fan to protect this martial arts more discreetly.
At this moment, Ding Fan activated his spell; immediately, large stones began swirling around him in the gale. With the protection of these stones, the pressure on Ding Fan’s divine vigor shield was significantly reduced. This is exactly what Ding Fan wanted.
In the sky, the True Dragon was already extremely furious, displaying a multitude of techniques. But seeing the situation below, it couldn’t help but feel puzzled, not expecting its gale to be so powerful, unable to perceive the human within for a while.
This left it astounded, but while it was momentarily distracted, Ding Fan continuously cast several "Transcendent Strike" spells and successfully escaped from the storm’s center, quietly moving eastward. His cunning plan was quite successful.
Meanwhile, the True Dragon still hadn’t noticed Ding Fan’s escape and was continuously attacking the storm’s center, lightning and thunder all around. Determined to thoroughly obliterate the human, it was unleashing its full attack towards the eye of the storm.
Although it couldn’t see the human’s position, it believed that its fierce Mysterious Thunder attack coupled with the strong gale meant that even with wings, the human couldn’t escape. Moreover, it was confident that the fierce Mysterious Thunder couldn’t be withstood by a mere Thunder Pill.
Although Ding Fan had successfully escaped, his Pure Thunder Pill was indeed, as the True Dragon predicted, reaching saturation, nearly over-nourished. Nonetheless, Ding Fan was not overly worried.
He had stored the Pure Thunder Pill away, knowing that the upcoming time is optimal for its digestion and absorption. Ding Fan, intermittently casting "Transcendent Strike", soon caught up with Guo Linn and Ah Du, leaving Guo Linn astounded at his appearance.
Guo Linn could hardly believe that his brother had come out safely, especially with the True Dragon’s fierce attack seeming to target Ding Fan aggressively. How could he anticipate that Ding Fan had already escaped that storm’s center? It was simply unbelievable!
The shock wasn’t exclusive to Guo Linn. Ah Du, observing Ding Fan, was equally astonished, turning to glance at the storm’s center. Filled with surprise, he quickly grasped that Ding Fan had used a cunning escape plan but was still overwhelmed by Ding Fan’s capabilities.
It’s truly hard to believe that facing such a fierce attack from the True Dragon, Ding Fan managed to escape, which was simply inconceivable!
At this moment, Guo Linn couldn’t help but use Divine Consciousness Transmission to ask Ding Fan with surprise:
"Brother, how did you manage to get out?"
Upon hearing Guo Linn’s question, Ding Fan knew there was no time for explanation. Now wasn’t the time for explaining. Thus, he used Divine Consciousness Transmission to speak to Guo Linn and Ah Du:
"There’s no time to talk about this now. I’ve set up formations in some hidden spots here; it’s relatively safe. Let’s quickly find one to hide in. I believe it won’t be long before that foolish dragon discovers I’m gone and will launch wide-range attacks. Simply hidden places are useless; hurry up!"
Guo Linn and Ah Du were deeply shocked upon hearing Ding Fan’s words.
