Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2255: Chapter 2290: Preventing His Escape

Zheng Tianren’s eyebrows and beard were all furrowed together. He couldn’t quite believe it. The poisonous insect mechanisms of Evil Spirit Mountain were the most terrifying. The purple and black mist there was poisonous, and once they stuck to the body, even a martial artist above the sixth realm of the Divine Realm would quickly die. How could Ding Fan be unharmed?

"The young master is definitely not dead!"

Zhong Zhiyong nodded firmly but did not explain why.

He was Ding Fan’s slave, and because of pride, how could he explain to these people? It was precisely because he was Ding Fan’s slave that he was certain Ding Fan was not dead. If Ding Fan were dead, the soul bond in his mind would either die on its own or go berserk, and Zhong Zhiyong might have died a long time ago.

At this moment, the soul bond within Zhong Zhiyong was very quiet, indicating that Ding Fan was also safe now. Ding Fan had already been inside for a while, and he was indeed not dead, so it seemed he had a chance to survive.

Zheng Tianren still didn’t believe it, looking disbelievingly at Zhong Zhiyong, who found a place nearby to sit and wait quietly.

He must be constantly vigilant. If the soul bond went berserk, then he would die, so he prepared to wait at the foot of the mountain, either for Ding Fan to come out from inside or for the soul bond to go berserk.

Dao Zheng Tianren thought and decided to accompany Zhong Zhiyong for a while. This way, he could have an explanation for Zheng Tianxing. If the Sirius Clan came to blame him, he would have something to say.

...

Ding Fan was indeed not dead.

It wasn’t because of his strength or luck, but because there was currently a transparent protective barrier outside the massive coffin, isolating all poisons and mechanism prohibitions.

Surprisingly, those people from Zheng Gandang said that all the mechanism prohibitions inside Evil Spirit Mountain were set by ancient great gods, but the massive coffin flew around inside without triggering any prohibitions.

A dozen minutes later, the massive coffin easily flew into a hall at the top of the mountain.

"Bang!"

Outside the hall was a square built with white jade stone. The massive coffin landed heavily on the square, and the protective barrier slowly disappeared.

During the flight, Ding Fan’s body was not completely controlled by the evil spirit; instead, he was bound by a huge mysterious iron chain, utterly unable to move. He could open his eyes wide and look around, now attracted by the hall in front of him.

Along the way was thick purple-black mist, but there was no purple-black mist near the hall at the mountaintop square. Inside the hall, silver light glittered, and the dazzling light illuminated the surroundings.

Was this hall so strange?

Ding Fan’s eyes and soul were drawn to this hall. The architectural style of this hall was different from the Northern Wastelands hall because this hall seemed to have no door?

Judging from the layout of the mountaintop and the square, Ding Fan should be in front of the hall, but there was no door to the hall. The walls were carved with countless insects, various strange insects.

The most important thing was that those insects seemed to be alive. Wherever Ding Fan’s gaze passed, the insects came to life, walking and flying on the walls.

Some bugs had countless legs, others were fat and worm-like, with big-horned black bugs, caterpillars with bird wings, worms with bodies of flame...

Ding Fan stared intently at those bugs, which had incredible magical power, seemingly making people’s eyes and minds unable to move.

"Buzz..."

But soon Ding Fan could no longer see, as green light flickered within the huge mysterious iron chain. Energy flowed into his body, and his eyes quickly closed.

He felt the green energy rapidly rushing towards his soul, starting to invade his soul again. An old voice echoed in his mind: "Son, this is Evil Spirit Mountain. Any master below the seventh realm of the Divine Realm who walks in here will have no place to die, so... don’t think anyone will come to save you. Be obedient, don’t resist. Once I have your body, I will make you famous throughout the world."

Clearly, this evil spirit had fled to the Qin family’s territory, ultimately entering Evil Spirit Mountain for a purpose, after careful thought.

He should have known Evil Spirit Mountain well, and to escape his pursuers, he rushed into Evil Spirit Mountain, then used all his strength to seize Ding Fan’s body and regain a new life.

He successfully ascended to Evil Spirit Mountain, and now no one dared to pursue him. He no longer had to worry about anything, focusing entirely on invading Ding Fan’s soul.

Countless streams of green energy transformed into golden needles, piercing Ding Fan’s soul. This time, the evil spirit wanted to completely destroy Ding Fan’s soul, allowing his soul to be utterly destroyed, so that the evil spirit could fully occupy Ding Fan’s body and obtain a new life.

Ding Fan’s willpower was strong. The evil spirit had tried multiple times to put Ding Fan’s soul to sleep, but ultimately failed due to external influences and Ding Fan’s own resistance.

This time, the evil spirit intended to use the fiercest means to directly subject Ding Fan to endless pain, so unbearable that his soul would collapse, and naturally, he would get Ding Fan’s body.

"Ah..."

Ding Fan quickly let out a painful howl. His soul couldn’t control his body, but now he instinctively howled, indicating how intense his pain was at this moment.

His body involuntarily rolled over, falling from the coffin and roaring on the ground. But his body was bound by the mysterious iron chain, he could only roll around near the massive coffin, with his facial expression completely twisted and his muscles trembling like a dying beast.

"Woo~"

Above the massive coffin, Sirius was entangled by black vines, howling, and biting at the black vines, but the small body of Sirius couldn’t break them as the black vines flashed with green light.

Billions of fine needles condensed from the green energy, piercing Ding Fan’s soul. This pain was more excruciating than a burn, more painful than being cut with a dagger little by little. At this moment, although the attack was on the soul, Ding Fan couldn’t pass out. He could only endure this soul-wrenching pain.

If a person received severe stimulation, he would become insane. If the stimulation was a thousandfold more severe, what would happen?

The consequences are obvious. Humans cannot endure the pain, their souls gradually collapse, and finally completely disappear, just like being stabbed a few times with a dagger, their body will have wounds. If you directly press a mountain peak on them, it will be directly crushed into powder...

At this moment, this was Ding Fan’s situation. He felt like he was going crazy, his soul was about to explode, his consciousness was about to be obliterated, his soul was about to be completely lost.

"No, no, no—"

He roared, a strong feeling of reluctance surged in his heart. He hadn’t yet found the way back, Xia Mengqing hadn’t been redeemed, he was still young, and he didn’t want to die like this. He was even more unwilling to let a disgusting old evil spirit occupy his body.

He was on the verge of collapse. His soul burst out with strong persistence, erupting like sparks and flames, the entire soul emitting a sparkling green, but suddenly surrounded by a white light that dispersed the green energy.

"Why?"

A voice of astonishment sounded in Ding Fan’s mind. Even the old demon was startled this time. Ding Fan’s willpower was too abnormal.

"Buzzing~"

The old evil spirit quickly turned his energy into green needles and continued to attack. He didn’t believe that such a weak soul could withstand his attack. If once didn’t work, then attack ten times, if ten times didn’t work, then a hundred times, a thousand times. Ding Fan’s soul would eventually collapse, and this body would certainly be his.

That’s how it went: the old demon attacked again and again, and Ding Fan retaliated again and again. The dominance within the soul was repeatedly seized by the old demon, only for Ding Fan to snatch it back time and time again.

Ding Fan’s body instinctively writhed, occasionally crashing against the giant coffin, with blood continuously flowing over the coffin. The huge mysterious iron chain clattered, and Sirius howled incessantly.

Ding Fan’s willpower was truly strong, which was related to his childhood living environment.

He grew up without support, living a lonely life filled with bullying. Therefore, he had always been very persistent, never ceasing through years of training and cultivation, rain or shine, even when facing great difficulties.

His master in his previous life once said that even in desperate situations, one should not give up; even in mortal peril, one must not surrender. These words, he always remembered and never dared to forget, keeping them in mind.

If his character wasn’t resilient and he hadn’t been educated, he wouldn’t have been able to endure now.

Five times, fifty times, a hundred times!

Two days and nights had passed, and Ding Fan’s body was no longer rolling, lying on the ground like a reptile. His muscles were still trembling slightly, indicating that he and the evil spirit were still fighting for control of the soul.

Two hundred times, two hundred and fifty times.

Ding Fan’s soul hadn’t dissipated; instead, the counterattack became more intense. This old evil spirit had changed from initial shock to numbness.

Ding Fan is a freak!

Not only was his soul and will strong, but his body also held many miracles. For instance, Ding Fan’s Sirius tattoo, Sirius heritage, and Sirius Howl, all intrigued the old evil spirit.

Ding Fan was very young. Although his realm wasn’t high, his foundation was excellent. The stronger Ding Fan’s resistance, the more the old demon desired Ding Fan’s body.

Another day and night passed, and the old evil spirit gave up. He realized it was simply impossible; he couldn’t cause Ding Fan’s soul to collapse, nor could he completely occupy Ding Fan’s soul and body.

"Oh, kid, you forced me, don’t regret it later." The old evil spirit had to choose the next strategy and planned to devour and fuse Ding Fan’s soul.

If Ding Fan’s soul collapsed, his body would be a blank shell, leaving no trace of Ding Fan, which was the most perfect state.

If Ding Fan’s soul was devoured and fused, Ding Fan’s soul would also be destroyed, but it would leave residuals, there would be his spiritual imprint. Thus, the seized body wouldn’t be the most perfect result, and in the future, it might be more or less affected by Ding Fan’s remnant soul, impacting the demon’s future development.

"Buzzing!"

Green energy gathered outside Ding Fan’s soul, and a hideous face was revealed in his mind, then that face charged at Ding Fan’s soul, preparing to devour it.

However...

When this ghostly face fully appeared in Ding Fan’s mind, a sudden mutation occurred. The Sirius tattoo above Ding Fan’s soul suddenly flashed with light, then moved, wandering outside the entire mind.

Originally, Ding Fan’s soul was surrounded by green energy. After the Sirius tattoo moved, the entire soul began to shimmer with powerful light, and all the energy was absorbed by the Sirius tattoo.

"What... what is this ghost thing?"

A roar echoed in Ding Fan’s mind. The evil spirit hadn’t forgotten: Ding Fan’s mind had a green Sirius mark, but the Sirius imprint had never responded. Even several times, when Ding Fan’s soul was about to collapse, that Sirius imprint didn’t move. Why did it immediately move after the evil spirit’s soul entered his mind?

Movement alone was not the problem!

The key was a huge pressure and energy emerging from the Sirius imprint, beginning to devour the old evil spirit’s energy and soul.

The old evil spirit suddenly realized that this Sirius seemed to have been waiting for his soul to enter Ding Fan’s mind. Then it could suppress and prevent his escape immediately?

"Hmm..."

Ding Fan was also scared. He knew there was a green Sirius imprint in his mind and on his body.
