After hearing Ding Fanâs words, the long-bearded elderâs eyes widened and an utterly shocked voice emerged from his mouth:
"What are you saying? When did the great Skeleton Sect become a place where a mere child still growing hair could speak?"
Upon hearing the elderâs words, Zhuge Qing couldnât help but slowly lift the corners of his mouth, a voice slowly emerged from Zhuge Qingâs mouth:
"Second Elder, he is our elected leader for the sect, our only recognized leader!"
The long-bearded elderâs eyes shot with anger after hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, a thunderous voice burst forth from his mouth:
"Are you kidding me, Zhuge Qing? Youâve elected a mere child to be the leader of the Skeleton Sect, you all are truly insane and hopeless! Whatâs funniest is you dare come to my mountain peak seeking my help, what a joke!"
Upon hearing the elderâs words, Zhuge Qing coldly stated:
"Second Elder, I am not making a joke. Brother Ding indeed has such strength, and now with the sect leaderless, only Brother Ding can lead us to true glory!"
Upon hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, the elderâs body erupted with a violent wave and his icy voice emerged as he stared daggers at Ding Fan:
"Youâre talking nonsense. Seeing your earlier rebellious intentions surfacing here today, I wouldnât be surprised if this child is just a puppet you all have elevated..."
Upon hearing this, Ding Fanâs eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light, his voice came forth:
"Second Elder, this sect leader position, whether you agree or not, will be mine!"
Upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, the elderâs eyes burned with rage and his icy voice emerged again:
"Arrogant boy, seems like unless I teach you all a lesson today, you donât know how vast this world is, nor your own ignorance!"
At these words, Zhuge Qingâs eyes flickered slightly, his mouth trembled and his body tilted backward, arms crossing, as if ready to watch the show unfold.
Upon seeing Zhuge Qing, the elder showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, then dashed towards Ding Fanâs direction.
His hand clenched, gathering a terrifying energy wave in his palm which he launched at Ding Fan.
The violent wave burst from the elderâs palm, the terrifying sonic boom dispersing the air.
Upon seeing this, Ding Fanâs eyes flickered slightly, his mouth curled up as his body flickered and almost instantaneously flashed away from the elderâs face.
Seeing this, the elderâs eyes showed horror, staring fixedly at Ding Fanâs direction.
As Ding Fanâs figure darted away, his mouth slowly curved into a teasing arc, pausing slightly he taunted the elder:
"Second Elder, better luck next time..."
Upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, the elderâs eyes flared with rage, his icy voice emerged:
"Didnât expect you, boy, to have some skill after all..."
Hearing this, Ding Fanâs mouth also slowly lifted, he said with great calm:
"Second Elder, youâre no match for me. Join us, and weâll bring you a brand-new Skeleton Sect!"
Upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, the elderâs eyes burned with intense rage, his icy voice emerged:
"Arrogant boy, you just dodged an attack. Next, letâs see how you try to escape!"
Finishing his words, an extremely violent wave burst from his body, his aged form releasing blinding light. Between flashes, a giant humanoid skeleton affixed itself to his body.
Upon seeing this, Ding Fanâs eyes filled with astonishment, his body instinctively tensed up.
Equally shocked, Zhuge Qing coldly commented:
"This... This Second Elderâs power is terrifying beyond imagination, didnât expect this. Even if the sect leader stood here, beating Second Elder would be quite a task..."
As Zhuge Qing secretly marveled, the elderâs eyes shot with icy color, his voice emerged:
"Stinking brat, today Iâll show you the power of our Skeleton Sect elders!"
With that, the elder darted toward Ding Fan, a sharp aura bursting forth.
Seeing this, Ding Fanâs eyes became solemn, his hands slightly trembled. As Ding Fanâs hands quivered, sparks of lightning began gathering in his palm, the terrifying power of thunder and lightning erupting from within.
As the thunder and lightning gathered in Ding Fanâs palm, the space resounded with deafening thunder, the terrifying sound filling the great hall.
Upon seeing the lightning power in Ding Fanâs hand, the elder showed shock and alarm, his eyes flashed sharply as he lunged toward Ding Fan.
Seeing this, Ding Fanâs hand trembled slightly, a violent lightning burst forth from his palm.
Almost instantly, Ding Fanâs strike collided with the elderâs body, the terrifying explosive force shattered the skeleton affixed to the elderâs body.
Explosive sounds resonated through the great hall as Zhuge Qing watched, astonishment in his eyes, his gaze fixed on Ding Fan, equally shocked.
The elder pushed back by Ding Fan was filled with fear, his shocked voice emerged:
"This... this canât be, how could you possess such formidable strength?"
Hearing the elderâs words, Ding Fanâs mouth slowly curled, calmly replied:
"Nothing is impossible, thatâs just the reality..."
Upon hearing Ding Fan, the elder now showed a sense of despair, disbelief coloring his voice:
"No! This canât be true, you canât be this powerful, youâre so young!"
Upon hearing the elderâs words, Ding Fanâs voice emerged:
"Second Elder, how about it now, ready to join us yet?"
Upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, the elderâs eyes flickered slightly, his mouth trembled, his body erupted with violent rage, his furious voice emerged:
"Impossible, Iâll never yield to a mere child!"
Saying this, faintly ominous light began circulating on his body, extremely terrifying waves erupted.
His eyes turned dark, his body trembled, releasing a dense death aura.
