Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2320: Chapter 2355: Life for Life

Ding Fan’s super airship was the highest level in the Sirius Clan, its speed so fast that people could clearly see it was a super airship from a great family. Who would dare approach to cause trouble?

Five days later, Ding Aoshuang suddenly exited the cabin and woke Ding Fan up.

Ding Aoshuang had been in closed cultivation for a few days, reaching the peak both mentally and physically. She was ready to break through the Sixth Level Realm of the Divine Realm, needing Ding Fan and the others to protect her.

It would take more than a month to reach Qingyuan City, making it the best time for cultivation. Ding Aoshuang had the most top-tier warrior heritage in the Central Plains, and once she breaks through the Sixth Level of the Divine Realm, her combat power would naturally increase, providing some aid to Ding Fan.

Ding Aoshuang wanted to break through to the Sixth Level Realm of the Divine Realm, and Ding Fan was certainly delighted, encouraging her to do her best. Not to worry about anything, they were all there to protect her, ensuring that nothing would happen to her.

Breaking through to the Sixth Level of the Divine Realm would take at least five or six days, during which no one could disturb Ding Aoshuang, or else these expensive Spiritual Materials would be wasted.

Ding Aoshuang nodded and walked into her cabin, and Ding Fan dared not engage in closed cultivation. Zhong Zhiyong and Crimson Flame also emerged, so Ding Fan sat cross-legged at Ding Aoshuang’s cabin door while Zhong Zhiyong went to the front deck for vigilance, and Crimson Flame controlled the super airship’s flight.

Zhong Zhiyong and Crimson Flame’s Divine Sense spread out for exploration. With Ding Fan personally out to protect, how could the two of them be indifferent?

Ding Fan sat for a while, watching these two constantly exploring with their Divine Sense. With no Divine Sense himself, sitting idly here made no sense, so he sat at the cabin door to start cultivation, knowing that if anyone attacked Ding Aoshuang, he would surely be aware.

The past four days were safe, but Ding Fan hadn’t slept in four days and finally couldn’t endure anymore. He leaned against the cabin door to rest for a while.

Actually, Zhong Zhiyong and Crimson Flame were also incredibly tired, but their Power was sufficient to resist. They didn’t dare relax and continued exploring.

"Young Lord, enemies are attacking!"

Half-asleep, Ding Fan suddenly heard Zhong Zhiyong’s voice. His eyes snapped open, looking toward the front.

Sure enough, six super airships formed a line, blocking the way forward. Crimson Flame controlled the super airship to stop, then flew into the cabin, standing next to Ding Fan.

"It seems to be a Pirate Group, one Sixth Level Peak expert, three Sixth Level middle-ranked, over twenty Fifth Level experts, and the rest are Fourth Level experts, totaling more than a hundred people."

Crimson Flame explained to Ding Fan, whose eyes showed a hint of doubt, asking, "How did they know of our location? Their airships can’t catch up to us, right?"

Zhong Zhiyong glanced back and said, "It’s likely there were pirates along the way who checked us out and sent messages to their leader, allowing them to intercept us here. Young Lord, what should we do now?"

"Let’s talk to them and see what transpires!"

The other side hadn’t immediately attacked, and since Ding Aoshuang was currently attempting to break through to the Sixth Level, plus the opponent had six Sixth Level experts, it wouldn’t be favorable to fight. Ding Fan could kill Sixth Level Peak experts, but only if he approached the enemy. Facing six at once, he wasn’t arrogant enough to think he was invincible.

Zhong Zhiyong activated the invisibility Prohibition, which didn’t offer any defense, just made the airship invisible.

He released his Divine Soldier Pellet and flew out, standing in the void, loudly shouting, "Who are you? Blocking our ship, what do you intend to do?"

"Nothing major!"

From the other side, the Sixth Level Peak expert grinned. His face had a scar, giving him a ruthless appearance, a burly middle-aged man holding a massive axe. He laughed twice, saying, "I’m Guan Zhenggang, these waters are my territory. Who are you? How dare you fly freely in my domain, disregarding my rules?"

Zhong Zhiyong himself was once a local overlord, now coldly smiling, "So it’s Chief Guan, you don’t need to mind who we are. Just state your rules directly."

Guan Zhenggang laughed, "I have many brothers who need to eat. Since you’re a big lord, just casually grant some Black Obsidian. We don’t want much, just two hundred billion Black Obsidian will do!"

"Two hundred billion?" Ding Fan’s face showed a hint of cold laughter. Did they think he was a pushover, to be molded at will?

Ding Fan pondered alone for a moment, walked to the deck, bowed, and said, "I am Yun Haitao from Yunxiao Palace. Chief Guan, two hundred billion Black Obsidian isn’t much to Yunxiao Palace, but we went out in a hurry this time and didn’t bring that much. I can offer at most ten billion Black Obsidian. I hope Chief Guan will show some leniency and let us pass."

"Yunxiao Palace!" Guan Zhenggang’s eyes flashed coldly. "Yunxiao Palace doesn’t reach into the sea, so don’t waste words with me. If unwilling to give two hundred billion Black Obsidian, everyone will be chopped up to feed the fish!"

Ding Fan’s face turned cold, his Flying Divine Sword sparkled at his abdomen. He shouted loudly, "Seems there’s no negotiation. If you want to fight, we’ll accompany you. Even if you kill us today, Yunxiao Palace’s army will soon arrive. Guan Zhenggang, you’ll die eventually!"

"Ha ha!" Guan Zhenggang laughed, holding the axe, shouting, "Brothers, it’s a big catch. Take down this pretty face, then demand one trillion Black Obsidian from Yunxiao Palace. Then everyone has meat to eat, kill them!"

Ding Fan originally hoped to scare away these pirates with Yunxiao Palace’s name, but hadn’t anticipated these pirates being fearless, even aiming to capture them to trade with Yunxiao Palace for Black Obsidian.

At this point, Ding Fan had no alternatives. If they wanted battle, then they’d fight them.

Ding Fan glanced at Crimson Flame as a sign to control the airship to retreat and ensure Ding Aoshuang’s safety. Suddenly, a light shone in his dantian, his Flying Divine Sword appeared, then transformed into a light beam, flying towards Guan Zhenggang.

"Zhong Zhiyong, synchronize with me!"

Charging ahead, Ding Fan shouted loudly. Zhong Zhiyong heard the call, immediately cooperating with Ding Fan. Flames on his forehead incessantly surged into the Divine Soldier Pellet, then transformed into thousands of Fire Dragons, attacking the enemy’s six pirate ships.

Each of those six pirate airships carried nearly twenty people. Zhong Zhiyong’s Fire Dragon attack was incredibly swift, quickly striking all the airships. These pirate airships were ordinary, unable to withstand Zhong Zhiyong’s flame attack, and soon transformed into vessels of fire.

"Ah~"

Several Sixth Level Martial Artists caught fire on their bodies, emitting screams of agony. Many of them hurriedly evacuated the cabins, causing immediate chaos.

"You want to die, do you? I’ll grant your wish!"

Guan Zhenggang was almost half-dead with rage, fury flashing in his eyes, as he saw Ding Fan flying towards him. Dismissing Ding Fan due to his low realm, Guan Zhenggang charged at Zhong Zhiyong instead, considering Ding Fan merely a pampered young lord of Fourth Level. He thought his subordinates could handle Ding Fan effortlessly, without needing his intervention.

"Perfect!"

Ding Fan noticed Guan Zhenggang intending to bypass him without even trying to attack, feeling immense joy. Guan truly saw him as mere bait, hoping to capture him alive to exchange him for Black Obsidian at Yunxiao Palace. Yet, for Ding Fan, this was an excellent opportunity.

At the moment Guan Zhenggang flew past him, Ding Fan’s body flickered and released over a dozen clones, rushing in all directions.

Previously, an Evil Spirit could unleash over sixty clones, but Ding Fan hadn’t had time to comprehend fully, thus still managing just over ten clones.

Yet, those dozen clones sufficed.

Suddenly witnessing more than ten Ding Fans racing around, many were startled, and several Sixth Level Martial Artists immediately circulated their True Yuan, chasing the clones.

Guan Zhenggang stopped as well, channeling True Yuan into his Giant Axe, slashing at one of Ding Fan’s clones.

"Chee~"

Ding Fan’s clone shattered instantly, merely a residual image. Guan Zhenggang continued without hesitation, casually targeting another image with his Giant Axe, assuming both clones were mere shadows.

At this moment!

Ding Fan’s eyes suddenly lit up, and from within his sleeve, the Purple Gold Wolf Claw acted fiercely, grasping forcefully at Guan Zhenggang’s Giant Axe.

"Crack~"

With a sharp sound, the Giant Axe shattered without resistance, being the highest-grade weapon but unable to withstand Ding Fan’s clutch.

Simultaneously, Ding Fan shouted loudly: "Zhong Zhiyong!"

The Sixth Level Expert’s reaction was swift; without Zhong Zhiyong’s collaboration, Ding Fan feared his attack might fail.

Zhong Zhiyong’s Divine Sense remained tuned to Ding Fan, ready to assist. Upon hearing Ding Fan’s shout, he suddenly unleashed a tremendous Fire Dragon from another direction, roaring toward Guan Zhenggang!

Attacks from both sides!

This startled Guan Zhenggang immensely. Yet, as a Peak Sixth Level Expert, he instantly devised a strategy, his face revealing a ruthless gleam. His other hand glowed with True Yuan as he struck fiercely at Ding Fan, simultaneously enlarging his Divine Soldier Pellet, spinning it toward Ding Fan—a mutually fatal approach.

Being audaciously defiant on the seas, Guan Zhenggang aimed to trade life with Ding Fan.

Guan Zhenggang had undergone countless battles, inherently more sinister than his men. Since Ding Fan aimed to kill him, he would wager on who had the greater courage.

Ding Fan was never faint-hearted!

Unlike those pampered young lords, he had fought through several bloody battles, realizing that fear led to quicker fatality on battlefields. Since Guan Zhenggang sought a life-and-death gamble, let it be so.

"Sirius, go!"

Ding Fan suddenly shouted, waving forcefully; Sirius darted out like a black lightning bolt, directly toward Guan Zhenggang’s palm.

"What’s this?"

At such close range, coupled with Sirius’s super speed, it reached Guan Zhenggang’s palm in seconds, smartly evading his attack, and the next moment biting deep into his wrist.

Much earlier, Sirius had gnawed a master’s leg down to bare bones in seconds; despite its size not growing lately, it was now even faster due to consuming Soul Crystals frequently.

"Ah..."

Guan Zhenggang emitted a miserable scream as immense pain shot through his soul, losing control over his Divine Soldier Pellet. In reflex, he shook his wrist furiously, attempting to fling Sirius away.
