Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2233: Chapter 2268: Surrender or Die

"Kill..."

Crimson Flame drew a Silver Sword from behind and gently swung it forward. The Sword Beam surged like waves, severing the bodies of several Fourth Level Experts from the Divine Realm in front of him, and directly cutting a Fifth Level Expert in two.

Crimson Flame’s Longsword floated gently again, swung, and two Sword Beams shot out, severing bodies, blood floating in the air, remnants were tossed aside. This time, all the experts who followed Zhong Zhiyong from the Zhong Family were killed by Crimson Flame in an instant.

"Crimson Flame, you kill too elegantly!"

Ding Fan couldn’t help but sigh and said. Crimson Flame sheathed the Treasured Sword on his back, glanced sideways at Ding Fan, and said, "Killing is also an art."

"Whoosh..."

Crimson Flame’s body turned into a breeze, drifting forward. Ding Fan shouted loudly, "If you can capture him alive, that would be best, a Sixth Level Divine Realm slave is very valuable..."

"What exactly is Ding Fan’s identity? How can he have so many experts around him? How is that possible?"

On the vast sea, Zhong Zhiyong flew away like a meteor, and the Divine Soldier Pellet shot forward like a ray of light.

His face was calm, but a storm brewed in his heart.

There are actually three Sixth Level Experts from the Divine Realm around Ding Fan. Having three Sixth Level Experts means a Sixth-level Force, which is unattainable among all the forces in the Northern Wastelands. The strongest forces in the Northern Wastelands are Level Five; the Four Great Royal Clans are just Level Five forces. Among the families vassal to these Four Great Royal Clans, there have never been three Sixth Level Experts from the Divine Realm.

Zhong Zhiyong knew Crimson Flame’s identity. At the time, on Skull Island, when Crimson Flame knelt before Ding Fan, Zhong Zhiyong was aware. However, after that, Crimson Flame never appeared beside Ding Fan again. Even when Ding Fan went to the Zhong Family Fortress in Shenwu Country, he did not appear beside Ding Fan. Some even saw Crimson Flame in the Tianyuan Auction House within Tianmu Sea. This led Zhong Zhiyong to not consider any relation between Crimson Flame and Ding Fan.

But he didn’t expect this situation now. It seems Ding Fan really is Crimson Flame’s Young Master. Furthermore, with two other Sixth Level Experts from the Divine Realm by Ding Fan’s side, it indicates that Ding Fan is definitely someone of great significance.

"Ding Fan definitely isn’t from the Northern Wastelands, he must be from the Central Plains!"

Now, Zhong Zhiyong was certain of this: Crimson Flame called him Young Master, so Ding Fan’s background must be terrifying. Zhong Zhiyong knew nothing of the matters between Crimson Flame and Sirius Elder. Even if he did know, he couldn’t connect this with Ding Fan. In his mind, he always thought of Ding Fan as merely an unexpected cultivator, people like that often appear suddenly. How could he link him with the Heir of Sirius Elder?

"Whoosh~"

A sound of air breaking came from behind, Ye Li was catching up. Although Zhong Zhiyong’s speed had reached its limit, compared to Ye Li, it was like a child playing a grandmaster.

The Ye Family was once a great clan renowned for speed in the Central Plains. If Ye Li couldn’t even catch up to a Sixth Level Expert from the Divine Realm in a tiny place like the Northern Wastelands, how could they live up to the Ye Family’s illustrious name in the Central Plains?

Ye Li did not immediately attack Zhong Zhiyong but hovered around him. When Zhong Zhiyong went forward, Ye Li went forward; when Zhong Zhiyong went backward, Ye Li went backward, always maintaining a distance of less than a mile from him.

"Whoosh!"

Ye Lian also caught up. Although he had only recently entered the Sixth Level of the Divine Realm, the Ye Family members were all natural Level Eight warrior heirs, and Ye Li and the Four Great Elders had long comprehended their own Level Eight warrior heritage. Once the Inherited Divine Technique was released, their speed increased tenfold, and Zhong Zhiyong couldn’t escape their grasp.

Ye Li glanced at Ye Lian, and Ye Lian nodded slightly, pulled out a Longsword, and then flew towards Zhong Zhiyong, thrusting the Longsword at his body.

That sword seemed light and effortless, without using True Yuan, yet it pierced through space and time. The Longsword suddenly vanished and then reappeared in front of Zhong Zhiyong.

"Heaven Earth True Insight!"

This sword was so bizarre, it could only be said it had comprehended the Heaven Earth True Insight to manifest in such a way. Of course, Zhong Zhiyong knew its value and did not dare to be careless, immediately controlling his Divine Soldier Pellet, desperately fleeing in another direction.

At the same time, a flame-shaped mark appeared on Zhong Zhineng’s forehead, then a Divine Soldier Shield appeared behind him, blocking the attack of that Longsword.

"Ah?"

The Longsword pierced forward effortlessly through the Divine Soldier Shield but then disappeared, scaring Zhong Zhiyong before he suddenly realized and roared in anger, "It’s all a bluff, it’s not Heaven Earth True Insight at all; it’s merely an illusion."

Zhong Zhiyong’s Divine Soldier Shield felt no attack. That being the case, the Longsword wasn’t wielded with Heaven Earth True Insight but merely resembled it, entirely akin to Ding Fan’s Shadowless Divine Skill, derived from the Heaven Earth True Insight.

"You only realize now, too late."

Ye Li laughed heartily, his body suddenly vanished like a breeze drifting towards Zhong Zhiyong. Ye Lian had not comprehended the Heaven Earth True Insight but was merely bluffing on the side to match his attack. The one truly launching an attack on Zhong Zhiyong was him.

Zhong Zhi immediately focused his gaze on Ye Li, releasing his Divine Sense to locate him. By the time he sensed Ye Li, he was already above Zhong Zhiyong’s head. Ye Li held a pair of gleaming steel claws in his hand and shouted at Zhong Zhiyong, "Zhong Zhiyong! I’ll show you what Heaven Earth True Insight truly means!"

With his shout, Ye Li fiercely swung his steel claws, and in an instant, the wind rose, clouds surged, and countless spiritual energies of heaven and earth converged towards Ye Li. He swung fiercely at Zhong Zhiyong, shouting, "Tear through space!"

The influx of spiritual energy from heaven and earth instantly condensed into claw shadows the size of a human body. Each claw shadow emitted a chilling light. The condensation of these claw shadows was incredibly fast, starting from just one, quickly multiplying to two, then four, and finally hundreds of massive claw shadows appeared in the sky.

These claws were like enlarged versions of Ye Li’s steel claws, clawing down at Zhong Zhiyong. For a moment, the space around Zhong Zhiyong was filled with shadows of steel claws. As the steel claws attacked, it seemed as if space itself was being torn apart, visible to the naked eye as small cracks.

"So terrifying!"

Ding Fan did not approach the fighting area, but such a terrifying scene was impossible for him to miss. The sky was filled with steel claws at that time, resembling the claws of some divine beast, and the fearsome power seemed as though it could tear open the entire space.

"Whoosh~"

How could Ding Fan miss such an astounding battle? He instantly lept up and then flew towards the scene at his fastest speed.

"Fiery Truth, Flame Shield."

Zhong Zhiyong at this moment let out a roar in anger, and then also utilized his Heaven Earth True Insight, not just that, his Heaven Earth True Insight was perfectly fused with his warrior heritage.

Flames continuously emerged from the inheritance seal on his forehead, gathering and entering the Divine Soldier Pellet. Soon, the Divine Soldier Pellet began to spin, and from within the rapidly spinning pellet, blue-flame spewing fire dragons flew out one after another.

The fire dragons circled and flew in the sky, winding and condensing into a massive shield blazing with blue flames, blocking the swiftly approaching steel claws.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The steel claws collided with the Shield of Flame, producing deafening sounds. The surrounding space, already with cracks, now seemed like a shattered icy surface, rapidly splitting apart.

It must be said that Zhong Zhiyong’s shield was exceptionally strong. Those steel claws with dreadful attack power were all blocked by that shield. However, as the steel claws disappeared, the Blue Flame Shield also gradually lost its brilliance.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, a figure flew over, standing not far from Zhong Zhiyong, appearing ready to strike at any moment. It turned out to be Crimson Flame, who had eliminated the other experts of the Zhong Family and finally flew over.

At this time, three Sixth Level experts from the Divine Realm surrounded Zhong Zhiyong. Ye Li wasn’t in a hurry to strike. His body flashed opposite Zhong Zhiyong, laughing as he said, "Zhong Zhiyong, your comprehension of Heaven Earth True Insight isn’t bad, and it’s rare that you can fuse it with your warrior heritage. But do you know? The Heaven Earth True Insight I comprehended is Sixth Level. Moreover, I only used forty percent of my power just now. If I exerted with full force, do you think you can fend me off?"

"It’s actually Sixth Level Truth!"

Zhong Zhiyong exclaimed. He had indeed comprehended Heaven Earth True Insight, but only to Level Two, and after fusing with his warrior heritage, could barely be considered Level Three Truth. Yet, Ye Li was Sixth Level, so there’s no way to fight.

Of course, at the level of these experts, there was no need to lie, nor was there any need to use such transparent matters to deceive. Moreover, Zhong Zhiyong had seen Ye Li’s attack just now, and his Flame Shield couldn’t quite hold off. And all that was merely forty percent of the power. If Ye Li truly used full force, could he still survive?

"Zhong Zhiyong, my Heaven Earth True Insight isn’t high-ranked, only Level Two, Heaven and Earth’s Momentum!"

Crimson Flame also spoke to Zhong Zhiyong, his voice was cold as if drifting from hell, lacking any emotions. He continued, "My Heaven and Earth’s Momentum is Spatial Truth; it definitely can’t kill you, but trapping you, preventing you from fleeing, is doable. As long as I trap you and he attacks you from the side, do you think you can withstand our combined assault?"

At this moment, Zhong Zhiyong was speechless. Crimson Flame was correct; his Heaven and Earth’s Momentum couldn’t kill him, but trapping him was indeed easy. By then, with Ye Li attacking from the side using steel claws, he would be utterly doomed.

Crimson Flame continued, "Zhong Zhiyong, speaking of strength, I’m no weaker than you, but I willingly serve Ding Fan as my master. Now, we won’t kill you, but if you serve our Young Master as a slave for a hundred years, that’s all there is to it."

Before Zhong Zhiyong could speak, Ye Li already interjected, "Let me tell you, Zhong Zhiyong, the two of us are actually servants of Ding Fan. Serving the Young Master as a slave for a hundred years will not disgrace you. If you refuse to surrender, you can choose to end yourself. Yet, you’ll be gone, but the Zhong Family will undoubtedly face annihilation."

Light flickered in Zhong Zhiyong’s eyes. He pondered for a few seconds before asking them both, "Can you tell me who exactly this Ding Fan is, that experts like you submit willingly to serve him?"

"Boom~"

With a loud explosion, Ding Fan flew in from the sea surface not far away, Crimson Flame reaching out to support him. Ding Fan’s eyes sparkled, he directed his gaze at Zhong Zhiyong and said, "Zhong Zhiyong, let me tell you, I’m Ding Fan, and there’s nothing special about my identity. Asking you to serve me for a hundred years as a slave is because you still have some value. I, the Young Master, am not lacking a Sixth Level expert from the Divine Realm like you. Make the decision now, life or surrender, stop dawdling."
