Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2271: Chapter 2306: Escape

Hundreds of Divine Mountain Rats couldn’t all be stopped at once. Before long, the sounds of battle came from outside the valley. Ding Fan saw that Ling Wanru hadn’t come out of her tent at all. He frowned and walked into Ling Wanru’s tent with Crimson Flame. When Ding Fan saw Ling Wanru sitting quietly, slowly sipping a cup of Bloody Rose, his gaze turned cold. He said coldly, "Ling Wanru, Heaven has a virtue of giving life, and the people outside are all from your Spirit Dragon Hall. Are you just going to watch them die?"

Ling Wanru raised her head, a bit tipsy, and giggled foolishly. With her head tilted, she said to Ding Fan, "They can watch my loved ones die, so why can’t I watch them die? There aren’t any good people in Spirit Dragon Hall. Even if they die, what does it have to do with me? Saving them isn’t my responsibility. No one can say anything if I don’t save them. People are so selfish. If they can be so selfish, why can’t I be a bit selfish too?"

Ling Wanru’s words made Ding Fan angry. His eyes turned even colder, and he said to Ling Wanru in a low voice, "Last night, I told your grandfather that your nature wasn’t bad. Now, I take those words back. Ling Wanru, since you don’t want to come out, then you should bury yourself inside completely. I, Ding Fan, have clearly misjudged you."

After Ding Fan finished speaking, he turned and walked out. Ling Wanru was shouted at a few times by Ding Fan, and her face instinctively showed an angry expression. Then, there was a hint of panic. Her lips moved a few times, trying to stop Ding Fan, but in the end, she said nothing.

"Bang!"

She threw the cup in her hand, stood up angrily, glared fiercely at Ding Fan’s distant figure, stomped her foot, and shouted, "Ling Hong, get over here and escort me to the battlefield."

Ling Hong immediately rushed up with a group of people. Ling Wanru stormed out and, when she reached the valley, immediately began angrily attacking the Divine Mountain Rats.

"Boom..."

At that moment, the ground in the middle of the valley started to fluctuate, and the countless people in the valley changed their expressions immediately, all rushing to the corners of the valley.

"Oh no~"

Crimson Flame and Ding Fan exchanged a glance and shouted together. Unfortunately, a pit erupted in the valley. This was the worst situation. Ding Fan saw many people retreating to the corner of the valley and shouted, "You all need to leave this valley immediately, or you’ll all die."

This valley wasn’t very big. If the Divine Mountain Rats erupted, those who didn’t leave the valley might not survive.

Ding Fan shouted and didn’t bother with them anymore. He spoke loudly to Crimson Flame, "Quickly get to Ling Wanru’s side."

Before leaving, Jeang Tianlin had asked him to take care of Ling Wanru. Crimson Flame could definitely take one more person with him while escaping. Ding Fan wanted to fulfill his promise now.

"Whoosh~~!"

In the center of the valley, a Sky Pit appeared. A beam of purple light shot into the sky, countless Purple Glowing Stones and Soul Crystals flew out. Besides those, there were many dark shadows. Ding Fan and Crimson Flame exchanged a look, their vision somewhat blurred. At least hundreds of Divine Mountain Rats were sprayed out. The chances of survival for these people in the valley were slim.

There were so many Divine Mountain Rats that Crimson Flame alone couldn’t suppress them. Even Ling Wanru couldn’t kill so many. The key problem would be that many people would get poisoned, turn into poison people, and attack others.

The situation hadn’t completely descended into chaos yet, but once it did, it would be impossible to leave. If anyone got poisoned again, everyone might die here together.

"Flee quickly~~"

Ding Fan didn’t hesitate. Many people here would die, but he was powerless. If he stayed, he would die too. If he had that kind of ability, maybe he’d help these people escape. But right now, Ding Fan and Crimson Flame couldn’t save these people; they could only prioritize saving their own lives.

Spirit Flame’s speed reached its limit. The gravity here was extremely strong. Even if Spirit Flame pushed its speed to the limit, it was only on par with the Fourth Level experts outside the Divine Realm.

"Squeak squeak~~"

The Divine Mountain Rats in the sky shot towards all sides, charging into the crowd. Soon screams were heard. Those with low strength were bitten by the Divine Mountain Rats, quickly turning into poison people clawing frantically, with deep blue light glowing in their eyes, charging at the surrounding people.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Many people didn’t have time to rush to the valley entrance and had to climb towards the surrounding mountains. Fortunately, the mountains outside weren’t too steep; although gravity was strong, it was easy to climb up.

"Wooh~"

After the Sky Pit erupted, it created a reverse suction force. Some people who had climbed midway up the mountain couldn’t withstand this suction and rolled down, eventually falling into the Sky Pit with terrifying screams.

Crimson Flame was the fastest among these people. He had already charged out of the valley, his sweeping gaze locked onto Ling Wanru and others fighting outside the valley. Ding Fan immediately shouted, "Ling Wanru, follow me and escape right now!"

As Crimson Flame charged in, Ling Hong nodded his head and said, "Miss, quickly run with Young Master Ding, we’ll cover you."

"No, I don’t care!"

Ling Wanru pouted, her face darkened, seemingly still holding on to anger. Ding Fan had shouted at her earlier, which made her very upset. She looked at Ding Fan coldly and said, "Didn’t you say you misjudged me? Do you still care about my life and death? Moreover, with my strength, do I need you, a mere Third Level Divine Realm, to manage?"

The valley continuously echoed with screams; it was unclear how many people inside had died. The shrieks of the Divine Mountain Rats came one after another; who knew when they would rush out.

Under the Qingmu mask, Ding Fan’s gaze turned icy. He didn’t have time to argue with Ling Wanru. He shouted angrily, "Are you going to leave or not? If you keep messing around, I’ll leave you here right now."

Ling Wanru laughed, turned around coldly, and said, "If you’re going to go, go by yourself. I, Miss, won’t go with you."

"Go!"

Ding Fan had run out of patience. He shouted loudly, and Crimson Flame immediately took him flying towards the distance without hesitation.

Ling Wanru looked in the direction Ding Fan had left, clenching her teeth, stomping her foot, and cursed, "Ding Fan, you’re such a bastard."

"Miss, stop making a fuss, run!"

Ling Hong grabbed Ling Wanru’s hand, leading the group in another direction. Since Ling Wanru was unwilling to leave with Ding Fan, they could only head towards Jeang Tianlin’s side with Ling Wanru.

"Run, run!"

The group surged out of the valley, fleeing together, but the divine mountain rats outside hadn’t been suppressed, and now divine mountain rats from within the valley charged out as well. Several samurai became toxic humans after being bitten, causing chaos within the entire troop, leaving everyone scattered, fleeing for their lives.

The valley turned into hell; all who didn’t escape transformed into toxic humans, viciously running around looking for anyone to attack.

The combined total of guards and travelers exceeded over a thousand people, but those who managed to escape numbered less than eight hundred. With divine mountain rats everywhere outside, no one knew how many of these nearly eight hundred could survive.

"Bang!"

Ding Fan crushed the warning talisman he held. He and Crimson Flame left the group, constantly at risk of encountering divine mountain rats. If only a few appeared, Crimson Flame could barely manage them; if tens or hundreds appeared, death was certain for the two.

Hundreds of divine mountain rats appeared in the valley. It wasn’t safe nearby, so Crimson Flame dared not stay and fled forward.

"Squeak Squeak~"

Strange sounds emerged from the left front; then three shadows dashed out of the purple mist. In an instant, Crimson Flame’s expression changed; he immediately released the divine soldier pellet, shouting, "Heaven and Earth’s Momentum, suppression!"

The surrounding winds and clouds surged, an indescribable powerful pressure suppressed the divine mountain rats, preventing them from instantly moving. Crimson Flame hugged Ding Fan and ran towards the right front.

But things were never that simple...

Space gravity here was strong, shrinking the attack range of Crimson Flame’s Heaven Earth True Insight. Once they were a hundred meters away from divine mountain rats, the rats could move again and rapidly chased them.

"Chop~"

As the divine mountain rats approached, Crimson Flame used "Heaven and Earth’s Momentum" to suppress them again, then drew his treasured sword from his back, wildly slashing forward.

It was as if a lightning bolt flashed through, tearing through the air, slashing a divine mountain rat. With a roar, the rat flew back after a heavy blow, bright red blood flowing, but it merely tumbled a few times before madly charging again.

"Such insane defensive power!"

Ding Fan secretly felt shocked, his eyes shifting, then asked Crimson Flame to put him down. His body flickered with white light, swaying around, and suddenly it seemed as though surrounded by people, Ding Fan transformed into a hundred phantoms, making it look as if people were everywhere.

"Let’s go~"

Ding Fan quickly returned to Crimson Flame’s side, who then immediately flew forward with him. The three divine mountain rats, indeed very foolish, rushed toward Ding Fan’s shadows but suddenly all pounced in vain.

The phantoms vanished one by one. After all hundred vanished, Crimson Flame and Ding Fan were already miles away; the three divine mountain rats could no longer find them.

"Young Master, your Shadowless Divine Skill has greatly improved, but it seems divine sense can still detect the real body, right?"

Crimson Flame sighed. Having a hundred clones is terrifying; if even divine sense couldn’t detect it, it would be a very formidable cultivation technique skill.

Ding Fan smiled bitterly and said, "I still haven’t comprehended it all yet. Maybe after some time, I will."

The two continued running forward, Ding Fan marking the way for Zhong Zhiyong to catch up. Half an hour later, they encountered another group of divine mountain rats, this time not three but over a dozen.

Ding Fan first released the Shadowless Step Method, transforming into a hundred figures, and Crimson Flame quickly retreated with him, hiding in the small hills behind.

The divine mountain rats couldn’t distinguish real bodies from illusions, all rushing towards the shadows, letting Ding Fan and Crimson Flame escape.

After fleeing this time, Crimson Flame breathed a sigh of relief; thanks to Ding Fan, otherwise relying on himself, he would have died from exhaustion here. Even though he could suppress them with "Heaven and Earth’s Momentum", more and more divine mountain rats would come. He couldn’t kill so many, and eventually, the outcome remained unknown.

Thus, they fled all along, frequently encountering divine mountain rats, causing their direction to change many times. At that moment, not knowing where they were, they could only run towards whichever direction felt safe.

They tried several times to find a place to hide, waiting for Zhong Zhiyong and Sirius to catch up, but soon more divine mountain rats rushed over, causing them much distress.

"Ah~"

"Run, run!"

Suddenly, screams and exclamations echoed from afar, the purple mist too thick to see clearly. Crimson Flame glanced at Ding Fan, who thought for a moment and said, "Let’s go check it out."
