Chapter 2288: Chapter 2323: Surrender
Then, Ding Fan slipped out from the back, feeling a mortal danger in his heart, but he still didn’t run away. He wanted to clarify which was Ding Fan’s real body and kill Ding Fan in one fell swoop.
Just like a strong man seeing a child wielding a wooden sword to attack him, he wasn’t worried at all. When the child stabbed at him with the wooden sword, he didn’t retreat, thinking the wooden sword couldn’t possibly pierce him. Who would have thought that this wooden sword was extraordinarily fast, and with a casual swing, it pierced into his heart...
At the last moment, Crimson Flame and Sirius coordinated well, otherwise Ding Fan would have been killed by Wang Fei. Although Wang Fei’s heart was already shattered, how could Ding Fan withstand that furious blow before Wang Fei’s death?
"Phew~~"
Ding Fan was panting heavily. Just now, he felt the crisis of death; this time, he was too reckless.
Initially, he wanted to comprehend the Divine Skill of Evil Spirit and then escape. At the last moment, he was lucky enough to grasp the True Insight of Reflection and integrate it with the Shadowless Divine Skill he practiced. However, after all, it was just newly comprehended and not mature enough, only able to split into more than ten figures.
He could have escaped; over ten clones were enough to confuse Wang Fei. But he chose to take a risky strike at Wang Fei.
Because if he ran away, Crimson Flame would have died at Wang Fei’s hands!
He took a deep breath and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Then he smiled and said to Sirius, "Sirius, you are really impressive."
"Woo~~"
Sirius kept howling, very excited, like a child being praised.
Ding Fan reached out, picked up Wang Fei’s Battle Saber, and took off Wang Fei’s Space Ring too. Finally, he thought for a moment and put Wang Fei’s head into the Space Ring.
"Swoosh~"
He flew to the mountainside, dug out Chi Huo from the cave, and fed him Spiritual Medicine to heal his injuries. Looking at the blood-soaked Crimson Flame, he anxiously asked, "How are your injuries? Can you handle it?"
Seeing Ding Fan’s gaze, Crimson Flame immediately understood Ding Fan’s thought. He thought for a while, clenched his teeth, and took out a Flying War Chariot from within the ring. Ding Fan took Crimson Flame and flew onto the chariot, then Crimson Flame controlled the Flying War Chariot to fly back to the original path.
Yes!
Ding Fan did not flee but flew back. Crimson Flame understood Ding Fan’s intent—he wanted to go back to save Zhong Zhiyong. Not to mention killing another Sixth Level Expert of the Wang Family in the Divine Realm, at least to preserve Zhong Zhiyong’s life.
Zhong Zhiyong is now Ding Fan’s slave, once a mortal enemy. But after spending so much time together, Ding Fan not only bears no resentment toward him but also developed some friendship.
Just now, Zhong Zhiyong unhesitatingly tossed Ding Fan to Crimson Flame and handled the aftermath for them, which moved Ding Fan greatly. In his heart, he had already regarded Zhong Zhiyong as his friend.
At this moment, Ding Fan is ready to fight for Zhong Zhiyong, because he now feels confident. At least, if cautious, Wang Shi shouldn’t be able to kill him.
The True Insight of Reflection combined with the Shadowless Divine Skill allows Ding Fan to release a dozen indistinguishable clones at any time. Coupled with the power of the Purple Gold Wolf Claw, Ding Fan feels he now possesses the skills to battle the experts of the Wang Family. Killing Wang Fei greatly boosted Ding Fan’s confidence.
Ding Fan and Crimson Flame speculate; the critical issue now is that the people of the Wild Wolf Sect will likely arrive soon, so they only need to delay some time, and there’s a great chance to save Zhong Zhiyong’s life.
Of course, this matter is still very dangerous. After all, Crimson Flame is heavily injured, and Ding Fan’s realm is too low. If mishandled, Ding Fan might die at Wang Shi’s hands.
Ding Fan insists on doing this; Crimson Flame certainly won’t oppose his decision. He knows Ding Fan’s character well—once he decides on something, even if the sky falls, he won’t change his mind.
Despite being severely injured, he can also release Heaven and Earth’s Momentum from the chariot. Most importantly, if anything unexpected happens, he will desperately hold Wang Shi back, and Ding Fan should still have a chance to escape.
They swiftly flew back along the original path, not having fled far, and quickly arrived near the battlefield.
"Good, we arrived just in time!"
From afar, they heard Zhong Zhiyong’s roar, and both Ding Fan and Crimson Flame breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Zhong Zhiyong isn’t dead, even if severely injured, he can recover. Even if his hands and feet are broken, there’s a chance to find a Miraculous Medicine Pill that can grow them again.
"Young Master, take a look first, don’t worry. The people from the Wild Wolf Sect should arrive soon."
Crimson Flame advised Ding Fan, who nodded. To save Zhong Zhiyong at the cost of losing Crimson Flame would be a poor trade.
Crimson Flame controlled the chariot to fly down and quietly traversed through the mountains, eventually hiding behind the hills, listening to the sounds ahead to judge the battle situation.
"Boom...!"
The battle situation was evidently not good. From time to time, they could hear explosions and Zhong Zhiyong’s low roar. After a while, a roar from Zhong Zhiyong came, like a wild beast trapped.
"Kill me, if you’ve got the guts, kill me. What kind of hero are you to torment me like this!"
Listening to Zhong Zhiyong’s roar, Ding Fan and Crimson Flame exchanged glances, realizing that Zhong Zhiyong’s situation is dire and he’s already in a desperate plight.
Wang Shi’s voice soon came over: "Hahaha, since you want to die, I’ll grant you your wish. In a moment, I’ll fulfill your heart’s desire and slowly kill you with a knife."
"Let’s go!"
Upon hearing the voices outside, Ding Fan couldn’t remain calm any longer. He said to Crimson Flame, who could only control the chariot, driving it like a Meteorite, flying toward the battlefield.
Once they flew out of the mountain, Ding Fan and Crimson Flame’s eyes swept over. They saw a large net woven from vines ahead, from which Zhong Zhiyong’s roars occasionally came.
After the two appeared, the Divine Sense of Wang Shi and Zhong Zhiyong together probed over. Zhong Zhiyong immediately roared crazily: "Young Master, don’t mind me, hurry and run!"
Wang Shi was a bit surprised. Wasn’t Wang Fei chasing Ding Fan and Chi Yan? How could these two possibly have escaped Wang Fei’s pursuit?
"Escape? Where can they escape to now?"
Ding Fan looked at Wang Shi with distress and said, "The Wang Family’s experts are everywhere, we simply can’t escape. Sir, please spare my people. We surrender and are willing to go back with you to be at your disposal..."
Chi Yan’s face was covered with blood. At this moment, he shuddered slightly and immediately understood, following Ding Fan’s words: "Zhong Zhiyong, we’re not resisting anymore, we can’t possibly escape. Let’s give up."
When the power between both sides is completely unbalanced, resistance is futile. When one side is not much weaker than the other, there’s a chance of victory. Of course, if you want to win with the weak against the strong, you must use clever tactics.
The only way for Ding Fan to kill Wang Shi was to get close to Wang Shi, creating good conditions for a surprise attack. His Purple Gold Wolf Claw was extremely powerful and could easily tear through the body of a Sixth Level expert in the Divine Realm. But he must get close to the enemy, otherwise he would easily get killed.
His face wore a dejected expression, seemingly accepting his fate. Chi Yan wasn’t a fool either. The two of them put on a good show for Wang Shi. Chi Yan was still covered in blood, looking like he had suffered a lot. However, the Flying Chariot didn’t stop at all and kept slowly approaching Wang Shi.
Wang Shi was very confused, and Zhong Zhiyong was also puzzled. Wang Shi was still wondering where Wang Fei went. Why weren’t they together? Why could these two come back?
And Zhong Zhiyong was thinking, why Ding Fan would surrender? This wasn’t Ding Fan’s style, nor was it like Chi Yan.
Wang Shi and Zhong Zhineng quickly reacted. Zhong Zhiyong understood, but Wang Shi began to be vigilant, as the Flying Chariot was less than 800 meters away from him.
"Stop!"
Wang Shi shouted deeply, the Samurai Inheritance Seal on his forehead lit up, ready to strike at any moment. Having cultivated to the Sixth Level Peak Realm in the Divine Realm, he certainly wasn’t an idiot. Why Wang Fei hadn’t shown up was the biggest flaw.
Ding Fan glanced at Chi Yan, who immediately controlled the chariot to stop. Ding Fan respectfully said to Wang Shi, "Sir, please release my people first! Whatever your Wang Family wants, I will provide. You just want Sirius, right? I’ll give it to you immediately!"
A small beast shot out from Ding Fan’s sleeve, standing on Ding Fan’s shoulder. Wang Shi’s eyes lit up.
But he didn’t let down his guard, coldly saying, "Where is my elder brother Wang Fei? Wasn’t he chasing you? Where is he?"
"Over there..."
Ding Fan pointed in the direction he came from and said, "He’s fighting Bai Wuqing, and your Wang Jian is over there as well."
Ding Fan’s explanation made sense, and Wang Shi slightly let down his guard. He stared at the spiritual beast Sirius and shouted, "Throw the little beast over here, and I’ll let your people go."
This time, the Wang Family had invested so heavily mainly for Sirius. As long as they got Sirius, the rest wouldn’t be as important.
Ding Fan shook his head, saying, "Let the people go first, or I will die here with Sirius."
"Fine."
Wang Shi believed his strength far surpassed Ding Fan’s side by a large margin, and Zhong Zhiyong and Chi Yan were incredibly weak at this moment. He wasn’t afraid at all, waved his hand, and the vines automatically unfolded like petals, revealing Zhong Zhiyong, who looked like a mummy.
Zhong Zhiyong now appeared very miserable. The Wang Family’s Samurai heritage not only could trap people but also absorb a warrior’s Origin of Life. Zhong Zhiyong’s body was entwined, and his body’s life force was continuously losing. Now, he looked decades older, extremely frail.
"Young Master, don’t worry about me..."
Zhong Zhiyong shouted again. His body was still wrapped in several vines, struggling hard yet unable to escape the bind, obviously weakened to the extreme.
"Throw me the beast, and I’ll release him immediately."
Wang Shi said proudly, "It doesn’t matter if we kill you or not. There’s no enmity between us; we just want your little beast."
"Alright!"
Ding Fan seemed to resign to his fate. Looking at Chi Yan, the latter controlled the chariot to fly forward slowly. Ding Fan looked at Sirius and said, "You should treat Sirius well. He likes eating Soul Crystals. Sirius is a descendant of a Beast King, and he’s quite temperamental. Don’t be too harsh on him..."
Ding Fan’s words were filled with sadness, much like an old man seeing off his child on a long journey. Hearing that Sirius was a Beast King, Wang Shi’s eyes grew even brighter, filled with greedy light.
Seven hundred meters, four hundred meters!
Wang Shi finally reacted and shouted to Ding Fan, "Stop, throw it to me!"
"Alright, catch!"
Ding Fan grabbed Sirius and threw it towards Wang Shi. Wang Shi’s eyes lit up like stars and immediately directed his Divine Soldier Pellet towards Sirius.
"Woo~~"
However, Sirius seemed very frightened. It bolted down as if trying to escape. Its speed was so fast, reaching the limit, it could actually compare to a Fifth Level Peak expert in the Divine Realm.
"Don’t be afraid, little one!"
Wang Shi’s entire heart was set on Sirius. He didn’t care about Fan and Chi Yan; he immediately flew to grab Sirius.
Now is the time!
After working hard to create a good opportunity, Ding Fan finally waited for this moment. He made a gesture to Zhong Zhiyong below, then flew down from the Flying Chariot.
