Ding Fan and Lady Fang disengaged as soon as they clashed, and in a head-on contest of strength, they actually fought to a standstill, neither gaining the upper hand.
At this mont, let alone others, even Lady Fang herself had a very ugly look on her face.
Lady Fang had cultivated for over a century to reach her current level of cultivation, while Ding Fan, how old was he? At most twenty-two or twenty-three years old, even if you included the ti spent in his mother's womb, that wouldn't amount to even a fraction of the ti she had spent cultivating.
Yet, this person of such young age was able to match her in terms of Inner Strength, ending up in a draw.
What kind of fortune had this young man encountered to beco this formidable...
Lady Fang's eyes hardened, for that peerless Magic Artifact was on Ding Fan's person. In order to obtain that peerless Magic Artifact, she had served as Ding Fan's enforcer for half a day. With matters having progressed to this point, how could she possibly choose to give up?
Lady Fang imdiately dragged her Longsword, and with a loud shout, she charged towards Ding Fan.
This ti, Lady Fang's charging approach differed from the previous brute force; her form flickered and shifted, appearing very unpredictable.
With experience from two lifetis, Ding Fan was extrely seasoned in combat; how could he fail to see that Lady Fang was trying to leverage her movent and footwork to regain the advantage?
Soone like Lady Fang was a grandmaster in the Martial Arts. Once they reached a stalemate, they would carefully probe for their opponent's weakness. Little by little, through trial and error, as soon as they discovered the other's weak point, they would sweep them away like a fierce wind sweeping fallen leaves, overwhelming the opponent until they were slain.
Ding Fan also did not dare to be careless, for Lady Fang's cultivation was very high. It seed as if Ding Fan and Lady Fang had fought to a stalemate, each holding their ground, but in truth, Ding Fan was already defeated. Ding Fan had an extra ridian compared to ordinary people, and it was precisely this ridian that had just helped him channel True Qi, allowing him to narrowly avoid defeat.
However, that extra ridian, though using it once was no issue, could not bear the burden of continuous use. Therefore, in the upcoming battle, without the aid of that extra ridian, the fight would be even more difficult.
From this, one could also see just how formidable Lady Fang was.
However, Ding Fan was not intimidated by Lady Fang. Since he dared to face the challenge, naturally, he had his trump card ready for battle.
After entering the Foundation Establishnt Stage, Ding Fan could use more spells, and the most formidable among them was the Thunder Command, controlling Mysterious Thunder to bombard his enemies directly...
Previously, nobody had used the Thunder Command, so when Ding Fan used it, he could catch his enemy off guard, attacking unexpectedly. In this way, Lady Fang would surely suffer under his Thunder Command.
However, as a trump card, Ding Fan would not use it until the timing was right; the Thunder Art required a vast amount of True Qi, which Ding Fan could just barely muster for a single use. Should his strike miss, he would truly be beyond redemption.
In the Arena, Ding Fan did not dare to be careless at all. He did not allow his Divine Sense to miss a single detail.
Swish, swish, swish... In a flash, Lady Fang had already reached Ding Fan's side, thrusting her sword at him three consecutive tis. Ding Fan dared not be negligent, and with a flicker of his form, he directly dodged away.
Having gained the upper hand with her move, Lady Fang did not hold back; she changed her footing and continuously brought her Longsword down in a barrage of strikes.
For a ti, Ding Fan found himself pressed by Lady Fang amidst the shadows of her sword.
At this stage, Ding Fan's situation was truly such that he had only the power to parry and no ability to counterattack.
In fact, Ding Fan could have attempted a counterattack under the opponent's offensive, but what he was doing was conserving his True Qi, preparing to activate the Thunder Command.
At that mont, the mbers of the Songshan Sect, witnessing the scene of Ding Fan being pursued by Lady Fang, all displayed solemn expressions.
"Should we go up and help? Or should we go back and find our master?" soone asked, looking at the situation in the arena.
"We might as well forget about going up to help; even if all of us gang up together, we would definitely be no match for Lady Fang. As for going back to inform our master, I think it's even less necessary. Our master was ambushed by Hua Zhimo and is currently suffering from serious injuries. Even if our master were to co here now, there is nothing he could do. If the master ca, it would probably only bring him trouble."
"Alas... So you're saying that there's no solution. Although the young master is extraordinarily talented, he still lacks a certain tolerance, a bit of self-restraint..."
For a while, the Songshan Sect mbers watching inside the arena heaved sighs.
In their eyes, although Ding Fan was a young hero with exceptional talent, he couldn't see the reality of his situation, daring to challenge a Martial Artist of the Heavenly Level...
The Songshan Sect's opinion of Ding Fan was that he was unlikely to achieve great things.
While the Songshan Sect mbers were not optimistic about Ding Fan, Ruan Yuan silently observed, noting that even though Ding Fan was being suppressed by Lady Fang, his footwork showed no sign of chaos, and his gaze remained resolute.
Ruan Yuan believed that Ding Fan wasn't completely without chances; in Ruan Yuan's view, Ding Fan was just waiting for an opportunity.
Boom...
Just then, the situation on the arena changed again as Lady Fang released several successive strikes of Sword Qi.
For a mont, Ding Fan was engulfed by the swirling Sword Qi, and the roaring sounds were ceaseless.
Whoosh... Right after the True Qi exploded, Ding Fan's figure had already dodged to the side. However, this ti he did not manage to completely evade the attack, and Sword Qi directly injured his chest, drenching his front in red with blood.
At this point, without needing anyone else to say it, Ding Fan himself knew that if this continued, he would certainly be slain by his opponent's sword.
Therefore, it was crucial to find a solution quickly.
At that mont, Lady Fang, unrelenting, continuously slashed her Longsword toward Ding Fan.
Ding Fan could no longer worry about anything else; he imdiately took out several Explosive Talismans from his storage ring and threw them directly at Lady Fang.
Boom... Boom...
Suddenly, the Explosive Talismans thrown out exploded around Lady Fang, kicking up dust all around.
"Kid, do you think this will give you a chance to win?" Lady Fang scoffed coldly. "Let tell you, today you have only one fate, and there's no doubt about it—death."
"Is that so?" At that mont, Ding Fan's voice ca from the void.
Lady Fang frowned, and then turned her attention to Ding Fan.
At that mont, Ding Fan was actually controlling a Flying Sword, hovering above Lady Fang's head.
"Flying Sword..." Lady Fang's eyes narrowed...
Flying swords are such a rarity that even for martial artists at the Heavenly Level, they are coveted treasures. While so may have heard of them, none had ever wielded one in reality.
The mbers of the Songshan Sect had their eyes wide open in disbelief.
The elderly man from Mount Song, known as a living fossil in the Ancient Martial World, had never ntioned anyone from the sect controlling a flying sword. Yet now, Ding Fan could actually control the flying sword...
"It seems I underestimated you before, you have such treasures on you..." Lady Fang said and then her eyes flashed with viciousness. "But it doesn't matter, after I kill you, everything you own will be mine!"
At that mont, Ding Fan's right hand ford a Finger Decision imdiately.
Suddenly, a fierce wind blew, filling the space between heaven and earth with an atmosphere of chilling intent.
Lady Fang felt sothing wrong with the atmosphere around her, and her gaze hardened in response.
But just as Lady Fang was still confused...
Crack... Boom...
That sound was earth-shaking, enough to stir asuras and gods...
A trendously thick bolt of Mysterious Thunder slashed directly from the void above.
For a mont, the space between heaven and earth was filled with blinding light, which made it difficult for anyone to keep their eyes open.
The enormous burst of thunder struck Lady Fang directly, who was still in a daze.
Boom... The whole earth trembled violently!
All of these events seed to take a long ti, but in reality, they happened incredibly quickly, in just the blink of an eye.
Lady Fang was directly engulfed by the thunder.
The mbers of the Songshan Sect exchanged astonished looks.
As outsiders, how could they not see that the Mysterious Thunder had been summoned by Ding Fan?
Using lightning to strike one's foes... They had never even heard of such a thing. This was beyond the comprehension of those few mbers of the Songshan Sect.
How could a person possibly summon Mysterious Thunder to combat an enemy?!
Ruan Yuan, standing nearby, was also surprised, with his mouth agape.
Although there were people in the Immortal Realm that used Thunder Arts, and even Ruan Yuan himself knew how to use them, when it ca to power, his Thunder Art was far less potent than the one Ding Fan had unleashed...
It was only now that Ruan Yuan understood the true aning of Zhen Dan's words.
Ding Fan had reached a new level, and it was not the people of the Immortal Realm choosing Ding Fan anymore. Now, Ding Fan had the qualifications to choose whether he wanted to enter the Immortal Realm...
Buzz...
At that mont, everyone felt a painful buzzing in their ears.
This sensation lasted for a good ten seconds or so.
Then, everything returned to normal, and the surroundings beca quiet again.
mbers of the Songshan Sect now turned their gazes toward the interior of the arena.
The scene that followed left everyone staring blankly. Inside the arena, where Lady Fang had stood, the Mysterious Thunder had blasted a deep crater.
As for Lady Fang herself, her figure was nowhere to be seen by that ti.
The mbers of the Songshan Sect used their Divine Sense to probe the surroundings, and there was not a trace of Lady Fang's aura left. It beca clear to them that Lady Fang had been completely obliterated by Ding Fan's Thunder Art.
Ding Fan then descended from the sky with Sword Control...
Plop, he didn't land steadily and collapsed straight onto the ground.
The Thunder Command was extrely draining of True Qi, and Ding Fan felt as if he had been hollowed out...
"My lord..."
The mbers of the Songshan Sect quickly gathered around.
Ding Fan smiled faintly at the crowd. "What happened to that thieving hag Lady Fang?"
"My lord is mighty, she has been blasted to death by you..."
The persons from the Songshan Sect no longer dared to think of Ding Fan as a reckless youth. His arrogance and pride were justified, for he had the ans and the right to be confident.
Sword Control, Thunder Command... either one of these could cause a sensation throughout the entire Ancient Martial World. How could he not be formidable?
Now, mbers of the Songshan Sect felt fortunate to have witnessed the battle between Ding Fan and Lady Fang. The fight was simply too thrilling; missing it would have been a true pity...
From a distance, Ruan Yuan watched Ding Fan and shook his head slightly, as if looking at a monster.
Ding Fan was too fierce... It should be noted that this assessnt ca from people of the Immortal Realm. Even those from the formidable existence of the Immortal Realm acknowledged Ding Fan's ferocity, which illustrated just how terrifying Ding Fan truly was...
At that mont, Ding Fan took out a third-grade Foundation Building Pill from his storage ring and swallowed it directly.
The battle had taken a severe toll, and Ding Fan urgently needed to replenish his True Qi...
