As Ding Fanâs words fell, the entire sky was instantly shrouded in a layer of dark clouds, whipping icy cold Qi through the valley.
A terrifying pressure surged towards Ding Fan, so formidable that it shook the hearts of the surrounding cultivators.
"Good, since youâve admitted it, surely you understand the principle of âa life for a lifeâ?"
The tall, skinny man looked at Ding Fan, speaking sinisterly as the dreadful pressure burst forth from his body.
Upon feeling this terrifying oppression, Ding Fanâs eyes immediately filled with a hint of horror, his lips quivered slightly, then a fierce glint appeared in his eyes as he coldly looked at the crowd opposite him, speaking in a calm tone:
"I understand the principle of âa life for a lifeâ, but repaying a grudge is also my way of doing things. Gu Lang exterminated my sect and killed my brothers, how could I, Ding Fan, not kill him?"
As soon as Ding Fanâs words were spoken, an overwhelming aura instantly rose from his body, his eyes fixated on the crowd opposite him, revealing a resolute defiance.
The tall, skinny man opposite, hearing Ding Fanâs words, immediately showed disdain in his eyes, slightly curled his lips, and an aura like a hurricane surged from his body, covering the sky with dark clouds.
"Your way of doing things, what a joke! Today Iâm here to tell you that the correct thing to do upon seeing us is to submit!"
As the tall manâs words just fell, a gale swept through, his figure like a shadow swiftly appeared before Ding Fan, and simultaneously, his hand with a fierce stance struck towards Ding Fan.
The speed of the tall man was too astonishing and Ding Fan was caught completely off guard, in almost an instant, the manâs palm struck Ding Fanâs chest heavily.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of fresh blood instantly sprayed from Ding Fanâs mouth, his body flew backwards, in almost an instant, Ding Fan had been propelled five or six meters away.
Ding Fanâs legs carved a deep groove in the ground, his feet dragging deep marks on the surface, and the crowd around, seeing this, their eyes instantly filled with horror, mouths agape with fear:
"What?! The strength of these suddenly appearing individuals is so formidable? Who is this tall, skinny man and why is his power so terrifying, leaving Senior Ding utterly defenseless against him?"
"This is absolutely terrifying, truly unexpected that such a master exists within the Wild Wolf Gang, looks like this time Senior Ding has encountered a true opponent, canât imagine how Senior Ding will respond next..."
The people from the Thirty-six Caves looked at Ding Fan with worry in their eyes.
And Long Ren saw the tall, skinny man who struck Ding Fan flying, his eyes filled with seriousness, truth be told, Long Ren hadnât expected such a master existed within the Wild Wolf Gang, able to strike Ding Fan flying with a single palm, it must be that the tall, skinny manâs power is extremely fearsome.
Then the tall, skinny man, seeing Ding Fan being sent flying, complacently smiled, his lips curved as he spoke hauntingly to Ding Fan:
"Well? Kid, now do you think what I said was correct?"
Ding Fan painfully covered his chest, fresh blood slowly seeping from his lips, his eyes coldly staring at the tall, skinny man, lips trembling slightly, then spoke hauntingly to the man:
"Bullshit!"
When the tall, skinny man heard Ding Fanâs words, his brows furrowed, his eyes instantly bursting with intensely cold Qi.
An overwhelmingly dense aura gradually surged from the tall, skinny man, his gaze towards Ding Fan growing increasingly icy.
Just as the tall man prepared to lose his temper, three men and one woman standing behind him slowly stepped forward, teasingly speaking to the tall, skinny man:
"Senior Brother, who would have thought today youâd be scolded by a little brat from the Cultivation World, itâs truly hilarious..."
"Indeed, the normally proud Senior Brother being bullied by an obscure brat, itâs a scene that truly excites me!"
The only woman in the group slowly walked up, teasing the tall man.
And hearing the womanâs words, a hint of anger flashed across the tall manâs face, he glared at her, speaking hauntingly:
"Little Sister, stop teasing your Senior Brother, itâs this brat who ruined our plan, now with Gu Lang dead, how do we explain to our master?"
Upon hearing the tall manâs words, the woman slightly shuddered, breaking into a laugh, the sound like silver bells echoing across the valley, soothing the surrounding listeners.
"Senior Brother, explaining this to Master is your task, it has nothing to do with me, the little junior sister..."
At this moment, the tall and lean man, upon hearing the womanâs words, showed a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He raised an eyebrow slightly, then looked in the direction where Ding Fan was, and spoke coldly:
"This boy ruined our plan. Junior Sister, how do you think we should deal with him?"
The young woman, after hearing the tall and lean manâs words, scrutinized Ding Fan with her beautiful eyes, slightly curled her lips, and then said softly to the tall man:
"Senior Brother, you should make the decision on these matters. As you know, I never get involved in menâs affairs!"
Upon hearing the young womanâs words, the tall and lean man cast a cold look at Ding Fan, his shadowy eyes assessing Ding Fan from head to toe.
"Since Junior Sister doesnât want to get involved, Iâll handle this boy myself!"
As he spoke, a fierce aura erupted from the tall and lean manâs body, his eyes narrowed slightly, and an imposing aura surged from his body.
Upon listening to the conversation between the tall and lean man and the young woman, Ding Fan frowned heavily, his gaze sharp, and he spoke chillingly to the tall man:
"My life, Ding Fanâs life, is in my own hands, not a toy for you to play with. If any of you wants my life today, come and take it!"
As he spoke, a violent surge of energy erupted from Ding Fanâs body, his eyes turning crimson, looking terrifying from a distance.
At this moment, Long Ren, upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, shivered slightly and stood in front of Ding Fan, speaking in a muffled voice to the tall man:
"If you want my brotherâs life, youâll have to get past me first!"
The tall and lean man and the young woman were slightly stunned upon seeing this, their mouths twitching slightly. Then, a sinister smile crossed the tall manâs face as he looked at Ding Fan and Long Ren:
"Ha, brotherly love? How laughable. Since you two are so close, Iâll oblige you today. Both of you will die!"
As he spoke, a cold, chilling qi burst from the tall and lean manâs body, strong power gradually gathering in his hands.
Looking at Long Ren standing in front of him, Ding Fan frowned, his tone deep, and shouted at Long Ren:
"Long Ren, move aside!"
Long Ren hesitated upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, contemplating for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
"Brother, I canât! Our opponents are too strong, I canât let you face them alone!"
Hearing Long Renâs words, Ding Fan couldnât help but chuckle angrily, giving Long Ren a wry look, then speaking softly to him:
"Though our opponent is formidable, theyâre not unbeatable. If I exhaust all my strategies, I can slay them. But the thing that puzzles me the most is that they seem to have some forces backing them..."
Hearing Ding Fanâs words, Long Renâs eyes filled with astonishment, his lips twitching, he responded with surprise:
"Brother, are you saying these people arenât the real masterminds? Thereâs an even greater force behind them? This is unbelievable. The Wild Wolf Gang is already a formidable presence in the Cultivation World. What kind of force could manipulate the Wild Wolf Gang?"
Listening to Long Renâs words, Ding Fanâs eyes showed a hint of gravity, and after a momentâs thought, he slowly shook his head and spoke softly to Long Ren:
"I donât know, but soon theyâll reveal themselves!"
As he said this, a gleam appeared in Ding Fanâs eyes.
Seeing Ding Fanâs words, Long Ren nodded slowly, then moved his massive body aside from in front of Ding Fan.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding crowd displayed a hint of astonishment in their eyes, their mouths slightly agape, and they exclaimed in shock:
"Why did the Lake Master let Senior Ding face them alone? Doesnât he know that itâs a death sentence for Senior Ding to face so many experts alone?"
"Senior Ding must have said something to the Lake Master, or the Lake Master would never let Senior Ding face so many experts alone!"
