Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2362: Chapter 2397: A Lifetime in Seclusion

"Swoosh!"

All of a sudden, the few clones attacking his back changed direction, once more lunging toward his treasured weapon, while at the same time two other clones chopped toward his chest.

Meng Huo was enraged. He suddenly turned around and smashed down hard toward the Ding Fan clone below, completely ignoring the fact that his back was now exposed to the attacks of the remaining two clones.

The treasured Sword in Ding Fan’s hand was nothing more than an ordinary Treasured Sword. Even if one of those attacking his back was Ding Fan’s true body, it didn’t matter. In Meng Huo’s mind, even if he stood still and let him hack away, he wouldn’t be injured, because... the defense on his back was the strongest.

"Boom!"

Several punches slammed into the clone attacking below. Meng Huo’s eyes turned ice-cold. Now there were only two clones left, one of which was definitely the real person. This time he would never allow himself to fail again; he would crush that hateful human youth into meat paste with a single punch.

"Chi~"

The two Treasured Swords hacked toward Meng Huo, suddenly stabbing into his back, only to throw off a spray of sparks. The muscles on Meng Huo’s back were like cast cold iron, impossible to cut into even a hair’s breadth.

Meng Huo grinned, wanting to whirl around and smash Ding Fan, but at that moment, his heart felt a mortal danger.

"The battle is over!"

In the distance, Ye Li and the other elders saw Ding Fan’s left hand suddenly thrust out, and they all broke into smiles. They didn’t know the Power of the Purple Gold Wolf Claw, but just one glance had filled them with fear. Ding Fan had been planning this moment for so long. How could he possibly fail?

As expected!

The Purple Gold Wolf Claw easily pierced into Meng Huo’s back. Meng Huo let out a loud howl, and countless golden scales suddenly appeared across his back. Yet Ding Fan merely slowed his stabbing speed a little; a streak of green light flashed across his claw, and it smoothly penetrated into Meng Huo’s body, easily reaching Meng Huo’s heart.

"Swoosh!"

Ding Fan immediately withdrew his Purple Gold Wolf Claw. The Flying sword beneath his feet spun rapidly as he retreated at high speed. He gave a faint smile, cupped his hands toward Meng Huo, and said, "Elder Meng, I have won by sheer luck."

There was a hole in Meng Huo’s back, blood gushing out like a spring, yet Meng Huo ignored it. He only stared at Ding Fan, his eyes fixed tightly on Ding Fan’s hand.

Ding Fan’s two hands were now clenched into fists. His Purple Gold Wolf Claw had long since been put away, so that hand was pale, delicate, slender, no different from an ordinary hand. But at this moment, that left hand was drenched in fresh blood, still dripping down and joining into a thin line.

Meng Huo and the four Giants all stared at that hand of Ding Fan’s, their eyes full of astonishment. Just now, Ding Fan’s hand had always been hidden in his sleeve, and his strike had been so fast, and it was from behind them, so they couldn’t see clearly.

Looking at it now, they still couldn’t find anything wrong, and so in the eyes of these few Giants they were all shocked. They had no idea how Ding Fan had managed to tear open Meng Huo’s back and stab into the area near his heart.

"Master is truly powerful!"

Meng Zhi shouted loudly. He knew very well how strong the Giant Tribe’s defensive ability was; it was not much weaker than that of their Meng Family. And at the very end, deep-golden scales even appeared on Meng Huo’s back, yet they were still easily pierced through by Ding Fan. Ding Fan’s combat strength made Meng Wei’s resolve to follow him grow even firmer.

At Divine Realm Fourth Level mid-stage Realm, his speed could actually compare to someone of Divine Realm Seventh Level? His Attack Power could even break the defense of Meng Huo, a Giant Tribe elder. Most importantly, he was still so young. If he were allowed to cultivate for a few decades more, to what extent would he grow?

"Master mighty!"

Ye Li and the others also bent at the waist and shouted loudly, their eyes extremely bright. Today Ding Fan had exerted his utmost effort, and his growth rate was far faster than Ye Li and the others had anticipated. They all saw hope.

"Truly incredible!"

Herr Ningshuang was secretly filled with emotion. At this moment, Ding Fan’s eyes were flickering with green light; just now, he had revealed his Purple Gold Wolf Claw as well, but she didn’t care in the slightest. In the eyes of a lover, even a flawed face is perfect; even if Ding Fan became an Orc, she would follow him without complaint or regret.

Meng Huo stood there for a moment in panic and loss, then took out a Medicine Pill from his Space Ring and swallowed it. He said gloomily, "My skills are inferior to another’s. Meng Huo admits defeat today. This old man will go invite the Tribe Leader over right now. As for what the Tribe Leader will do once he comes, that is not something this self can control."

Meng Huo openly and straightforwardly acknowledged defeat, which made Ding Fan’s impression of him improve somewhat. This race didn’t have the scheming of the Human Race; a loss was a loss, a win was a win. They never resorted to cheating, and were in fact much stronger than some of the so-called big figures among the Human Race.

"It was my lucky win; Elder Meng Zhangcai, please don’t take it to heart."

Ding Fan wanted Meng Huo to feel a bit better, but Meng Huo wasn’t grateful. He snorted and said, "A win is a win, a loss is a loss, there’s nothing more to say. If you hadn’t stopped just now, this self would already be dead here."

After saying this, Meng Huo turned and left. Ding Fan glanced at the Night Queen, and she quickly followed after Meng Huo to arrange quarters for him and his people.

...

When Ding Fan and the others returned to the Rakshasa Tribe’s palace within the forbidden ground, Ye Li took his seat, then cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Master. Your True Insight has made tremendous progress. From what this subordinate can see, this True Insight is at least at the Seventh Level, very likely Level Eight, and there’s even a chance it’s a Level Nine True Insight."

The Ye Family’s few elders all nodded in agreement, but Ding Fan said doubtfully, "That doesn’t sound very likely, does it? Can Level Eight or Level Nine True Insight really be grasped so easily? If it were that simple, wouldn’t all the experts in the Central Plains casually be Level Eight or Level Nine?"

In truth, Ding Fan didn’t even know what his True Insight was called. He’d given it a name himself—True Essence of Speed. Right now he was a bit rattled. Even Ding Aohuang had only comprehended a Sixth Level Truth, and Sirius Ding Aohuang was a heaven-defying genius that only appeared once in a hundred thousand years in the Central Plains. If what he’d comprehended was a Level Eight or Level Nine True Insight, wouldn’t that mean his talent was even more heaven-defying than Ding Aohuang’s?

Ye Li explained to him, "Master, you’re currently at the mid stage of the Fifth Level in the Divine Realm, yet you can raise your own speed to the Seventh Level Realm in the Divine Realm. Only a True Insight above the Seventh Level could achieve something that miraculous."

"Mid stage of the Fifth Level in the Divine Realm!"

Ding Fan was greatly shocked, then remembered that by relying on the Flying sword he’d condensed at the Fourth Level of the Divine Realm, he could reach the mid stage speed of the Fifth Level in the Divine Realm.

"Flying Divine Sword?"

Ding Fan thought for a moment, then his body spun in place. He released his True Essence of Speed, and then shot out of the palace at his fastest speed.

To his great disappointment, without using the Flying Divine Sword and only releasing the True Insight he’d comprehended, although his speed increased greatly, the increase wasn’t that exaggerated. At most, it could only be compared to the speed of a Fifth Level Peak expert in the Divine Realm.

Ye Li and the others saw Ding Fan turn into a gust of wind, rush out, and then rush back in, but his speed wasn’t as fast as they’d imagined. Everyone couldn’t help but frown in confusion.

There was a hint of disappointment on Ding Fan’s face. Just now he had verified one thing: the True Essence of Speed he’d comprehended wasn’t that over-the-top and definitely wasn’t a True Insight above the Seventh Level.

The reason he’d been able to reach such incredible speed was because of his Flying Divine Sword. In other words, his Flying Divine Sword had amplified his speed, and then when he released his True Insight, it further amplified the Flying Divine Sword’s speed.

His Flying Divine Sword was strange, and also miraculous!

However, Ding Fan’s True Essence of Speed wasn’t that exaggerated, and was certainly not a Heaven Earth True Insight above Level Eight. Although this proved that much, Ding Fan quickly adjusted his mindset.

The Flying Divine Sword was his own. Whether or not the True Essence of Speed was above the Seventh Level, at least his speed right now was terrifying. That was a powerful combat strength. From this day on, he no longer needed to fear experts at the Sixth Level in the Divine Realm. Even if he couldn’t fight them, he could at least escape.

He did not explain this to Ye Li and the others.

Because he himself couldn’t figure out the meaning of that Sirius Totem on his Flying Divine Sword. The Sirius Totem on the sword was his greatest secret. He would not tell anyone, including Herr Ningshuang.

He had Ye Li and the others withdraw first, then looked at Herr Ningshuang and explained to her, "Ningshuang, I have some secrets, but I don’t understand them myself right now, so... I still can’t tell you. I can only say that I’m pure Human Race."

"Don’t say any more!"

Herr Ningshuang used one beautiful jade-like hand to cover Ding Fan’s mouth. She smiled faintly and said, "So what if you’re someone of another race? What I like is you, the person, not all those other things."

Ding Fan smiled and pulled Herr Ningshuang into his arms, but his gaze grew heavy. When the Giant Tribe’s special envoy arrived in a few days, would things really go smoothly?

The Giant Tribe came from the Meng Family—they themselves admitted as much—but the Giant Tribe would not obey the Meng Family’s commands. A single Elder Meng Huo didn’t even bother to acknowledge Meng Zhi. So would a Giant Tribe Leader at the Seventh Level Realm in the Divine Realm listen to him?

The Giant Tribe hated humans so deeply; on what grounds could Ding Fan make them believe that he could bring the Giant Tribe back to the Central Plains and reclaim their ancestral lands? Ding Fan had no confidence at all about this. Why would that old giant from the Giant Tribe believe him?

If he couldn’t bring the Giant Tribe to heel, then how was he supposed to continue this war in the Barbarian Lands?

Herr Ningshuang sensed that something was off. She raised her head to look at Ding Fan, those gemstone-like eyes seeming to see through everything. She sighed softly and said, "Ding Fan, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. If it really doesn’t work out, at worst we just leave the Northern Wastelands, find a Xiao Dao somewhere, and live out our whole lives in seclusion there."

"Seclusion?"

A bitter taste rose in Ding Fan’s mouth. If he were just an ordinary man with such a beautiful wife, then going into seclusion would indeed be a very good way out.
