Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 1463 - 1500: An Ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator

"Kill him for me! I want him dead!"

At this moment, Tong Xie roared at the elder with a face full of agony. Clearly, his two arms had already been broken by Ding Fan, although they were still attached, they just hung lifelessly without any movement, obviously completely shattered inside.

The elder heard Tong Xie's words, slightly inclined his body towards him and answered with extreme certainty in his eyes:

"Don't worry, Young Master, today he broke your arms, and he must pay for it with his life! He will die here today!"

After the elder spoke, a trace of sinister satisfaction appeared in Tong Xie's eyes as he looked at Ding Fan, staring at him as if he wouldn't consider the matter settled unless he saw Ding Fan die tragically here today.

Then the elder's figure suddenly moved, swinging the longsword in his hand fiercely towards Ding Fan. The elder's True Qi erupted fully, and in an instant, the large marble table in the inn shattered into pieces and crashed to the ground. Some tables and chairs near the elder flew out sideways, and soon a very spacious area formed around him, as everything nearby had been sent flying by the elder's sudden release of True Qi...

As the elder continued to charge towards Ding Fan, a massive sword-shaped Gang Qi formed around the longsword, flickering with dense True Qi. Just by looking at it, one could tell that the sword-shaped Gang Qi was extremely sharp. Not to mention cultivators, even a wall of steel would be easily pierced by this Gang Qi, as if cutting through tofu...

The elder's longsword kept pressing towards Ding Fan, causing a gust of strong wind to rise wherever the sword went, clearly shocking everyone. It was evident that this sword from the elder was extremely formidable, much more so than those before.

In everyone's eyes, not to mention a young man like Ding Fan, even a cultivator at the Emergence Stage would likely not stand a chance against this sword!

At this moment, Ding Fan's lips slightly curved upwards. Looking at the elder's sword, he silently praised it in his heart. Clearly, the elder's sword had great momentum, not something an ordinary cultivator could handle, but if he thought he could kill Ding Fan with this sword, it was still a bit lacking.

Though Ding Fan admitted that the elder's sword had some momentum, compared to his own swordsmanship, it was far inferior. No matter how formidable the elder's swordsmanship was, it was only ordinary in nature. Obviously, in terms of sword comprehension, the elder's swordsmanship was not on the same level as his own.

Suddenly, a strong gust blew behind Ding Fan, and he swiftly dodged the elder's sword with a few sliding steps. Although the sword-shaped Gang Qi was formidable, dodging it wasn't impossible. While it might be difficult for other cultivators, it was evidently quite easy for Ding Fan.

Since Ding Fan practiced the "Wind-like Sword Technique", he had been careful in cultivating his movement technique. Coupled with the mysterious steps from his "Mortal Fist", Ding Fan's movements were beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators. His movement was like treading on stars, making him hard to catch.

Thus, while it might be impossible for others to dodge the elder's longsword, for Ding Fan, it wasn't a problem. With a few quick movements, he was able to evade the elder's longsword.

At this moment, the elder seemed to have some prior experience. Although he was a bit shocked to see Ding Fan dodge the longsword, he was mentally prepared for it. The elder made a few turns while vigorously swinging the longsword at Ding Fan. His longsword was not an ordinary existence.

The longsword continuously emitted sword-shaped Gang Qi from its blade, relentlessly collaborating with the elder's attacks on Ding Fan. During this time, the crowd distanced themselves from Ding Fan and the elder, clearly afraid of getting caught in the conflict.

However, Long Ren and others still stood there, but Long Ren emitted a very strong aura, enveloping himself and the others. Clearly, the elder's sword-shaped Gang Qi could not penetrate Long Ren's aura. At this moment, Long Ren also enveloped Chai Er and Wu Qianwen, ensuring their safety.

Chai Er watched the fierce exchange between Ding Fan and the elder, her heart filled with extreme worry. Of course, when Long Ren used his aura to protect her, Chai Er was also very surprised, obviously not expecting Long Ren, who had sworn brotherhood with Ding Fan, to have such abilities.

As Long Ren's aura enveloped Chai Er and Wu Qianwen, Chai Er even felt that the sounds of the fight between Ding Fan and the elder had diminished significantly. She couldn't help but look at Long Ren in shock, wondering what level of cultivation this Long Ren had, clearly not weak, yet why couldn't she sense any True Qi from him?

Noticing Chai Er's puzzled gaze, Long Ren replied with a faint smile without elaborating.

"Can you defeat that Nascent Soul Late Stage elder?"

Chai Er asked Long Ren somewhat nervously.

"Of course."

Long Ren replied directly.

Seeing the relaxed expression on his face, Chai Er was very shocked. He seemed so confident, not bothering with the elder at all, causing Chai Er some surprise, but somehow, she believed his words.

After all, when Long Ren's aura enveloped her and her sister, none of the residual sword-shaped Gang Qi from the elder could reach them. Whenever something the elder sent flying came their way, it was blocked by Long Ren's aura. When Long Ren's aura enveloped her, the outside sounds quieted significantly.

It was evident that the opponent, with such an aura, was certainly not lacking in strength.

Chai Er was understandably shocked in her heart, although she had never seen Long Ren make a move, she believed Long Ren's words to be true.

Then Chai Er said somewhat anxiously:

"Since you can defeat that elder, why not help Ding Lin?"

Long Ren heard Chai Er's words, and replied helplessly with a wry smile:

"My brother said he can handle it, no need for me to intervene! Besides, I have complete confidence that my brother can deal with that old man, since he's merely a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator!"

"This..." Chai Er was utterly shocked by his words! What does 'merely a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator' mean... It's important to note that the elder was indeed in the Nascent Soul Late Stage, isn't the cultivation level formidable? If that's not considered strong, then what kind of cultivator counts as strong? Could it be a God Stage cultivator? Remember, the Donglai Continent has only a few God Stage cultivators...

"Ahem, my lord, a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator is not weak..." At this moment, Elder Xi who was standing nearby heard Long Ren's words and uncomfortably corrected him.

Long Ren heard Elder Xi's statement and looked at him, clearly puzzled about since when might Elder Xi regard Nascent Soul Stage cultivators worthy of attention. However, when Long Ren glanced at Elder Xi, Elder Xi slightly gestured towards Long Ren, subtly hinting with his eyes to take notice of Chai Er, Wu Qianwen, and others nearby.

Long Ren quickly grasped Elder Xi's intention, and continued with some helpless apology to Chai Er:

"Nascent Soul Stage cultivators are impressive, but it's totally manageable for my brother!"

...

At that moment, both Chai Er and Wu Qianwen watched Long Ren with a sunny but awkward smile, utterly astonished, pondering how after all that contemplation, Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were regarded as "impressive". How could Chai Er not be shocked, knowing that only about one-tenth of the cultivators in this Cultivation World reach the Nascent Soul Stage, since most cultivators don't even possess Nascent Soul strength...

At the moment, Chai Er and Wu Qianwen were thoroughly bewildered. Long Ren's words had completely overturned their worldview, and yet they remained deeply curious about what kind of person he truly was, why he seemed devoid of even the slightest True Qi fluctuation, and yet his aura was so overwhelming. More importantly, even Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were regarded with disdain in his eyes.

This was simply too unbelievable...

At that time, people around who heard Long Ren's words were casting strange glances snuck with some disdain, knowing that even a God Stage cultivator wouldn't casually dismiss Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. Given Long Ren's youth, it was evidently empty boasting...

Yet noticeably, they too felt the powerful aura emanating from Long Ren and Elder Xi, preventing them from speaking further...

Long Ren perceived the surrounding glances, feeling helpless; to him, Nascent Soul Stage cultivators truly didn't merit much attention, known that under his command were countless Emergence Stage subordinates, who couldn't even get to meet him. Only some accomplished God Stage elders have seen him.

Thus, Long Ren's perspective on Nascent Soul Stage cultivators evidently differed from most cultivators. In Long Ren's view, only cultivators like Elder Xi could be considered noteworthy...

...

Chai Er was somewhat startled by Long Ren's words, but Long Ren assuredly affirmed to Chai Er that Ding Fan faced no issues dealing with that elder, thus handing Chai Er a confidence boost. Clearly, Chai Er, as she now observed the battle between Ding Fan and the elder, wasn't overly worried. Though claiming to be completely unworried was impossible...

...

After several exchanges between Ding Fan and the Nascent Soul Late Stage elder, Ding Fan remained completely unscathed, but the elder was not at ease. Evidently, he had multiple sword wounds, attributing to Ding Fan's doing. If not for the elder fully defending against Ding Fan's flying sword with True Qi, the elder would likely have bled to death.

The elder was deeply shocked, never expected the opposition to be so formidable. The opponent's footwork was exceedingly perplexing. Despite the elder's strong swordsmanship, there was evidently no way to inflict a single scratch, not even grazing the opponent's collar.

Soon the elder had shifted entirely to defense from offense, unable to touch the opponent's collar which made his mighty longsword prowess futile. What was the point of attacking? But even with the elder's dedicated defense, he still sustained several cuts from the opponent; the opponent's flying sword was unfathomably fast like shadows, every strike from Ding Fan was unexpected, catching the elder off-guard.

The elder merely relied on his commendable cultivation, using True Qi to barely fend off attacks, yet clearly could not fully defend, though luckily avoiding any fatal injuries!
