Ding Fan's divine sense was powerful, and he directly locked firmly onto the figure that had snatched Jing Yi.
However, that person's cultivation was also incredibly formidable, and even though Ding Fan exerted all his strength, he could only barely maintain a certain distance from that person, unable to catch up even a bit, yet not falling behind either.
Fang Ruo followed behind Ding Fan, initially keeping up with him. But as ti passed, Ding Fan's speed increased, and she could only struggle to follow behind.
Seeing Ding Fan's movent technique, Fang Ruo was quite astonished.
Fang Ruo was about the sa age as Ding Fan. Thanks to her sect's resources being poured into her over the years, along with the sect's secret dicine, Fang Ruo had achieved a terrifyingly high level of cultivation at her young age.
Earth Level Fourth Grade.
This level of cultivation was sothing many masters within her sect couldn't hope to achieve. Casting her eyes across the world, Fang Ruo didn't dare to claim she was the best, but among her peers, not many could surpass her. It could be said that among martial artists her age, Fang Ruo was unbeatable.
At the Trial Stele, she had leaped into the top three positions. This alone was proof of Fang Ruo's extraordinary ability.
But what Fang Ruo had never expected was that the handso young man's cultivation was so against the heavens that he left her far behind. The handso man was about her age. Judging solely by this movent technique, he had outpaced her.
This handso man is really impressive... Fang Ruo thought to herself.
Ding Fan followed the black figure all the way. The person didn't seem to have any intention of shaking off Ding Fan. Instead, he just moved in a straight line towards the outskirts of the city, as if he purposely allowed Ding Fan to follow.
After about an hour, the figure finally stopped outside the city in a burial ground.
The figure threw Jing Yi to the ground and stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for Ding Fan to catch up.
"You're not bad, young and still able to keep up with ..." the person said with a chilling voice as he waited for Ding Fan to arrive.
The man in front was wearing a black cloak, and his face as well as body were completely covered by the cloak. At this mont, he held a long scythe in his hand, which sowhat resembled the Grim Reaper.
However, Ding Fan could tell that this person was, indeed, human.
"I see you have good talent. If you're willing to take as your master, in less than ten years, I can make you dominate the world," the Grim Reaper-like figure offered.
Ding Fan's eyebrows slightly furrowed. "To dominate the world, I don't need you..."
Ding Fan practiced Cultivation, and the cultivation thods he knew were far stronger than any Ancient Martial Arts Techniques. How could he possibly take as his master soone who was neither fully human nor ghost?
"I didn't expect you to be so arrogant! Good, I like people like you," the Grim Reaper-like figure stated.
"Release her..." Ding Fan said, pointing to Jing Yi, who had already passed out.
"You want to save her?" the Grim Reaper-like figure snorted lightly. "She has committed too many evils. I'm here to reap her life this ti..."
Ding Fan's brow furrowed at this mont.
The person before him truly considered himself the Grim Reaper.
"If you want to reap her life, you'll have to see if you can get past first," Ding Fan said, and then he held the Selfless Sword upside down in his hand.
The Grim Reaper-like figure's cultivation was incredibly high, and Ding Fan couldn't see through his level of cultivation, so he dared not be careless.
"You think you can fight with ? I'll give you a chance, pretend you never ca here... You're not my opponent yet..." the Grim Reaper-like figure scoffed.
"I really don't know where your blind confidence in yourself cos from," Ding Fan said, holding the longsword upside down, and walked towards him.
"Hehe... interesting, very good, then I'll let you see my treasure!"
After saying this, the Grim Reaper-like man stretched out his right hand swiftly, and between his fingers, he held a Rune. He muttered an incantation, and then bit his finger, dripping blood onto the Rune. He tossed the Rune onto the ground.
As soon as the Rune landed, clouds of Yin Qi began to condense non-stop. The Yin Qi gathered more and more until it finally ford into a sphere with a diater of a full ter.
The sphere gave off gusts of chilly wind and howls like ghosts and wolves, extrely terrifying.
"Myriad ghosts of the world, serve . Kill!" the Grim Reaper-like figure commanded with a wave of his hand.
Suddenly, chilling breezes swept around, and nurous ghostly figures appeared. Ding Fan was imdiately surrounded at the very center.
Ding Fan was on high alert at this mont.
Now he finally understood why the low-level Soul Bodies in the hotel had been searching for sothing with such purpose — they were clearly being manipulated by soone.
The ghostly figures around him were controlled by the Grim Reaper-looking man.
This person was actually herding ghosts, using so special thod to control these Soul Bodies, forcing them into servitude. This was simply too sly and malevolent.
"I'll help you!" Just at that mont, Fang Ruo arrived, longsword in hand.
Ding Fan's speed was simply too fast. If it hadn't been for the markers he had left along the way, she might not have found this place.
"I wonder why you insisted on saving that old undead; turns out it was for this beautiful girl," the Grim Reaper-like man sneered coldly.
"Kid, if you agree to beco my disciple now, I can make this woman your plaything, and if one day you get tired of her, I'll find you a new one... Hehe. How about it? As long as you beco my disciple, whatever you want, your master will fulfill your wishes,"
the Grim Reaper-like man said, his eyes shining as he looked at Ding Fan.
Seeing such cultivation in one so young, the Grim Reaper-like man thought that with just a little training, Ding Fan was sure to be a figure who could call the wind and summon the rain, a powerhouse in the world.
"Shaless!" Fang Ruo's pretty face flushed with anger.
She had finally caught up after much difficulty, only to hear that man talk about giving her to Ding Fan as a toy.
"I see your talent is average, but if you really want to worship under my Sect, I suppose I could consider it," Ding Fan said in a way that seed to infuriate the Grim Reaper-like man without having to compensate for his life.
Fang Ruo glanced over at Ding Fan.
She had genuinely worried that Ding Fan might beco that man's disciple to acquire her, but seeing Ding Fan's stern refusal, she let out a long sigh of relief.
This handso man was not only good-looking but also seed to have a decent disposition...
"Humph, you don't know what's good for you. So many people want to prostrate themselves at my feet, and I don't accept any of them; yet you insist on not bowing down... Now, let show you what I'm capable of!"
After saying this, the Grim Reaper-like man waved his hand.
Suddenly, the world was filled with a cold wind. The soul bodies around them let out chilling cries as they rushed directly towards Ding Fan and Fang Ruo's soul bodies.
Ding Fan wielded his longsword desperately, pushing back the attacking soul bodies.
anwhile, Fang Ruo, with her formidable cultivation, just barely managed to keep the soul bodies away from her.
Although both of them were temporarily invincible, they understood that if this continued, the only outco for them would be death.
The encircling soul bodies were relentless. They could only repel them with their Gang Qi; killing them seed utterly impossible. Worse yet, these soul bodies fought in coordinated attacks, as if directed by a disciplined army, making them very troubleso.
"I'll hold them off here; you go!" Just at that mont, Fang Ruo shouted loudly at Ding Fan.
In Fang Ruo's eyes, the situation had beco one that could only end in death.
They were completely unable to deal with the troubleso soul bodies surrounding them, and if this continued, sooner or later she and Ding Fan would be worn down to death by them.
How could Ding Fan not understand Fang Ruo's intentions?
After pondering for a mont, he used his longsword to force back the soul bodies surrounding him and then, with a flash of his body, burst out through an opening and vanished before Fang Ruo's eyes.
Seeing Ding Fan escape, Fang Ruo finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Grim Reaper-like man had co for her and her master in the first place. Fang Ruo didn't want others to be implicated because of her.
Bang...
Fang Ruo's wrist was struck by a soul body, and her longsword flew out of her grasp and fell to the ground.
Her body also slamd down onto the ground...
"Haha, although you're not a Pure Yin Body, you will still beco one of my Ghost Soldiers after you die!" the Grim Reaper-like man said sinisterly.
As Fang Ruo saw the soul bodies slowly closing in on her, she gritted her teeth and closed her eyes.
She knew she was bound to die, but to perish in the pri of her youth... There was so much she had missed out on...
And just as Fang Ruo thought her death was certain...
A piercing sound tore through the sky...
The sound was like a dragon's roar, shaking the earth. Startled, Fang Ruo imdiately opened her eyes.
In the night sky, a Fire Blade streaked through the air.
The soul bodies surrounding Fang Ruo were instantly slain by the Fire Blade, cries of ghosts and howls of wolves rose and fell!
No sooner had the first Fire Blade passed than a second Wind Blade followed, slaying another swath of soul bodies!
The remaining soul bodies scattered in terror. Faced with such a formidable Fire Blade, how could they not fear? In an instant, they instinctively fled in all directions!
Fang Ruo looked towards the direction from which the Fire Blade had co, and there, standing proudly atop a large rock, was a man with a handso face and an extraordinary presence. The Fire Blades were his doing.
Bathed in the bright moonlight, as if seeing the man's face clearly, who could it be if not the handso man who had fought by her side?
So he hadn't left after all...
Although it was Fang Ruo who told Ding Fan to leave, seeing him co back filled her with an inexplicable joy. She felt, deep down, that she hadn't been abandoned...
"Kid, you could have just left, but you dare turn back and kill my Ghost Soldiers! You're seeking death!" the Grim Reaper-like man said grimly.
"I ca back to take your life..." Ding Fan said calmly.
