Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2253: Chapter 2288: Control

Besides, Ding Fan had never heard of human remains being preserved for thousands of years after death; it’s just too supernatural, not something an ordinary demon would do.

Ding Fan quickly sneered and said, "Old demon, who are you trying to deceive? I won’t waste words with you; either you destroy my body, or I will keep causing trouble for you, making it impossible for you to escape. When my people arrive, you’ll be dead, or you let me go, and I swear I won’t have my people chase you."

At this moment, Ding Fan was ruthless, but the old demon simply laughed and said, "Kid, do you really think you’re a tough character? Since you’re so ignorant, I’ll let your soul disperse, and your body will be thoroughly refined, making you never truly die; just wait and see."

At this time in Yucheng, the teleportation array flickered with light, and eight people stepped out of it; in front of them were Chi Huo and Zhong Zhiyong, and behind them were Zheng Tianren and several elders of the Zheng family.

Not taking any super-speed aircraft, as soon as they left the teleportation array, they all immediately unleashed divine soldier pellets, flying southwest.

Yucheng marked the southeastern extent of the Zheng family’s territory. Beyond it lay Taiwang Palace’s sphere of influence, making Zheng Tianren and the others anxious, as the second elder and other elders of the Zheng family were already there, eager to intercept Ding Fan; otherwise, the venture into Taiwang Palace’s domain would prove problematic.

The group’s speed reached its peak; it took merely a dozen minutes to reach where Ding Fan was discovered. Earlier, someone was there waiting to guide them, with a Scout Cavalry of the Divine Realm Third Level pointing to the east, saying, "Gentlemen, quickly pursue in this direction; someone has been leading in front, and our people are still preventing that youth.",

Zheng Tianren and others nodded; the small families in Yucheng knew what to do efficiently, thus saving them the time to ask more questions.

The eight people continued their pursuit, guided all the way forward, flying swiftly without a moment’s pause, utterly disregarding anything else along the path.

After flying ahead for half an hour, Zheng Tianren found that Ding Fan and that gigantic coffin had vanished again, furrowing his brow as the territory ahead belonged to Taiwang Palace.

"Go! Keep pursuing!"

The second elder of the Zheng family waved his hand, urging everyone onward, even if it meant offending Taiwang Palace; he had to protect Ding Fan, and starting a war was an inevitable action.

After running over thirty miles, a group suddenly appeared before them, and Zheng Tianren and others grew somber, for it was a family affiliated with Taiwang Palace.

"Gentlemen!"

A voice shouted from that side: "The area here is under lockdown, Taiwang Palace issued orders prohibiting anyone from entering, please forgive us."

Everyone’s hearts sank as the most worrying situation arose—Taiwang Palace had discovered Ding Fan and that gigantic coffin, likely deploying numerous experts to intercept them. Surely, they intended to hoard all the treasures within the coffin by themselves.

"Get out of my way!"

At this moment, Crimson Flame was nearly frantic, directly unleashing pressure and suppressing everyone, then transformed into a meteor, weaving through the crowd, quickly followed by Zhong Zhiyong.

Zheng Family’s Second Elder, Zheng Gandang’s eyes flashed with a cold light as he waved his hand saying, "Go ahead; if Taiwang Palace’s people intercept Young Master Ding, engage directly, but no killing."

The Second Elder of the Zheng family was at the Sixth Level Realm Peak of the Divine Realm, in his prime with formidable battle powers and strong family authority. Given his stance, the other elders naturally didn’t object, closely following him to charge forward.

More and more people flew ahead, but they were all ordinary warriors, not even capable of intercepting them; not a single person saw them clearly as they flew past.

"Over there!"

After flying for another half-hour, Zhong Zhiyong suddenly shouted loudly, drawing everyone’s attention to a direction; there, a youth dragged a coffin and sprinted forward.

The group was overjoyed and hurriedly chased after them, but before they drew close, Ding Fan’s figure and the coffin vanished into thin air.

"What the..."

Seeing this situation, everyone couldn’t help but be deeply astonished—how could he disappear like this? Crimson Flame’s reaction was the quickest; he promptly muttered softly, "This is an illusion; the young master must be nearby."

Everyone remembered that Ding Fan had previously deployed multiple phantoms, instantly realizing this and flew onward.

After flying over ten miles, Zheng Gandang’s eyes glimmered with cold light, and Zheng Tianren and others grew serious, as six Sixth Level Divine Realm experts appeared ahead, doubtless they were all Taiwang Palace’s men.

The six experts flew rapidly, with a young man at the forefront dragging a giant coffin, sprinting ahead,

"Swoosh!"

Almost simultaneously, three experts from Taiwang Palace cast three beams of True Yuan directly towards the coffin. Crimson Flame immediately shouted: "Stop all of you."

"Whoosh~"

Up ahead, Ding Fan, pulling the coffin along, suddenly sprouted numerous phantoms, moving as though he had eyes on his back, dodging the attack from those experts.

In a mere blink, dozens of identical phantoms and coffins were conjured, ultimately resulting in over sixty ghostly figures emerging ahead, each Ding Fan dragging an identical coffin flying in all directions, into the sky and beneath the ground. Every silhouette seemed so real that each coffin gleamed with golden light; even the Xiao Bai bound on the coffin appeared to have aged more than sixty years.

"This technique is simply too advanced!"

Even Zheng Gandang, the Second Elder of the Zheng Family, couldn’t see Ding Fan’s real body with his Divine Sense, and he couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Uh... how did Master Ding Fan’s phantom shadows become so powerful? This is insane!"

Chi Huo was stunned. Previously, Ding Fan could only create a dozen phantoms, but now he could suddenly produce more than sixty.

In the past, it was easy to find Ding Fan’s real body with Divine Sense, but now it was impossible to tell which one was real. Worse still, the number of phantoms didn’t matter, but now even coffins were being created, and these doppelgängers could be controlled to fly off in all directions.

With just a step forward, more than sixty of Ding Fan’s clones could instantly cover a mile, and several phantoms even rushed towards Chi Huo and the people of the Zheng Family.

Everyone present was bewildered, unsure of how to catch the real Ding Fan. Since it was impossible to discern which was real, how could they attack? How could they suppress him?

"Boom... boom!"

The experts from Taiwang Palace attacked the doppelgängers as some of them charged at them. What if one was the real body? Their attacks hit the phantoms, which disappeared one after another, turning into nothingness.

The other fake bodies only lasted a few seconds before vanishing into the void. But in those few seconds, with Ding Fan’s current speed, he was already dozens of miles away. A few seconds later, everyone stood there, stunned, until all the shadows were gone, realizing that Ding Fan’s shadow was nowhere to be found nearby.

"The descendants of the Sirius Clan are truly remarkable. At such a young age, under such circumstances, he can comprehend the meaning of ’Heaven Earth True Insight’!" Zheng Gandang sighed again, waved his hand, and said, "Chase!"

Everyone flew forward, but one of the experts from Taiwang Palace coldly shouted, "Zheng Gandang, this is our Taiwang Palace’s territory. Are you barging in to seize treasures and declaring war on us?"

"Bullshit!"

Zheng Gandang spoke crudely, with a rough appearance to match, stroking his beard and glaring as he said, "What damn treasure are we fighting over? The young master dragging the coffin is a friend of our Zheng Family. Moreover, didn’t your Taiwang Palace send people to our territory yesterday? Let me tell you, fighting over treasures is fine, but if you harm that young master, I, this old man, will fight Taiwang Palace to the death!"

After Zheng Gandang’s furious outburst, he ignored the Taiwang Palace experts, rushed past them, and dispersed people to search for Ding Fan’s real body.

"Boom~!"

Not long after the search began, a signal flare flickered in the air ahead, clearly indicating Taiwang Palace’s scouts had discovered Ding Fan.

"Go~"

The group continued the chase vehemently forward, and the Taiwang Palace experts also rushed to that direction. However, when they arrived at the vicinity, they again saw countless Ding Fans dragging coffins and fleeing madly. People had no idea which was the real Ding Fan, who to pursue, or whom to intercept...

"How can we catch up?"

Chi Huo and Zhong Zhiyong looked at each other, both bewildered. Initially, they thought they had caught up with Ding Fan and could easily figure out a way to rescue him.

But now they realized, not even both of them together, but perhaps no one could intercept Ding Fan. Although Ding Fan’s speed was slower than theirs, this "Shadowless Divine Skill" was so powerful that he could easily escape every time.

Looking at the current situation, intercepting Ding Fan would require gathering dozens of Sixth Level experts from the Divine Realm to surround him; otherwise, it’s nearly impossible to capture him...

At this moment, Ding Fan was frantically running with the enormous coffin. Naturally, he wasn’t controlling his own body, as he lacked the means and the ability to evade the pursuit of so many Sixth Level experts.

His consciousness was clear at this moment, as an Evil Spirit was wholeheartedly controlling his body, dodging the pursuit of these experts, so there was no time to invade his soul.

He "saw" Chi Huo and Zheng Tianren, but he couldn’t do anything.

Even at this moment, he couldn’t command his body, let alone cause trouble at a critical time, due to his soul being surrounded by green energy.

He speculated that his inability to control his body was because his soul was encircled by green energy, separating his soul from his body, preventing them from forming a connection and thus unable to control any part of his body.

Ding Fan was amazed at this Demon’s methods, especially the Martial Skill of stepping a mile in one stride. He could clearly feel that after stepping forward, the whole space subtly shifted, allowing him to traverse directly across a mile.

And the Shadowless Divine Skill!

This was Ding Fan’s lifesaving technique, but his power had been significantly and continuously increasing. Initially, even when the Evil Spirit controlled his body, it could only produce a dozen scattered afterimages, but now it could generate over sixty lifelike shadow clones.

This indicated that the Evil Spirit had stolen this High Level Martial Skill from his soul, then comprehended and possibly integrated it with other Martial Skills or techniques, resulting in such terrifying power.

From the previous scene, it was evident that even those Sixth Level experts from the Divine Realm were bewildered, showing that even experts of their caliber couldn’t find the real body using Divine Sense. Ding Fan was astonished at the Demon’s ability, but considering that an old Demon who could stay in the Night Wolf Emperor’s coffin for so many years and still retain a lingering ghostly consciousness was a formidable existence indeed.

The Evil Spirit continued to control his body, and whenever those Sixth Level experts from the Divine Realm were about to catch up, it would immediately release the Shadowless Divine Skill, escaping effortlessly.
