Chapter 598: 635
The lady in white looked solemn at this moment.
The cultivation of the White-browed Elder was extraordinarily powerful, that he could eliminate six Earth Level Experts in seconds. Yet, Ding Fan dared to counter his palm strike, which was practically a suicide mission!
What... what was he trying to do?
At that moment, in the arena, Ding Fan faced the palm wind of the White-browed Elder and pushed back with a single palm.
Just when everyone thought Ding Fan would be reduced to dust by the elder's palm, something unimaginable happened.
Right as their palm winds were about to collide, Ding Fan's right hand actually stuck to the elder's palm wind, and with a slight lead of his body...
Boom...
Under the guidance of Ding Fan's palm wind, the White-browed Elder's palm wind directly struck a large tree behind Ding Fan.
That tree, large enough to require a person's embrace to encircle it, was instantly pulverized by the palm wind. And as for Ding Fan, he stood beside the elder as if nothing had happened.
"What... what did he just do?" At this moment, far away, Goatee rubbed his eyes in disbelief and asked.
The scene had unfolded too quickly. In Goatee's eyes, it seemed like Ding Fan had grasped the elder's hand, then sidestepped so the elder's vital energy directly shattered the uncle behind him.
The body of the White-browed Elder was actually controlled by Ding Fan in that instant.
Goatee didn't see clearly, but the lady in white saw everything distinctly. Ding Fan had completely seized the moment when the White-browed Elder's palm wind was cleaving down, then at the right time, used the energy to his advantage, redirecting the elder's force using the method of Tai Chi.
At this time, the look in the lady in white's eyes towards Ding Fan carried a bit more admiration.
It was known that the White-browed Elder was extremely formidable. Had the timing not been mastered correctly, Ding Fan would have been directly smashed to dust.
To be able to achieve what Ding Fan had just did required ample steadiness, sufficient cultivation, and plenty of experience against foes—none of which could be lacking!
Looking back at the arena at this moment...
The elder, having his palm strike deflected, was furiously unleashing his hands, sending a tremendous surge of vital energy that transformed into a strong blast of air, directly striking towards Ding Fan.
At this moment, Ding Fan was hurriedly moving his feet. Just as the blast hit him, he twisted his body and arrived at the other side of the elder.
Ding Fan was very close to the elder, the center of the attack where the force of the vital energy was narrow, giving Ding Fan more space to dodge. This was precisely why Ding Fan chose to stick close to the White-browed Elder.
The elder missed his strike and continued to unleash fierce attacks, while Ding Fan, abiding by a simple principle, clung tightly to the elder's side, dodging back and forth, using skill to overcome brute strength, leveraging the energy...
Those hiding in the distance were all dumbfounded at this sight.
At this moment, Ding Fan was like a shadow of the elder, difficult to shake off. In the arena, the two of them directly turned into a melee.
"Ming Master, the World's Honored One has cultivated an indestructible body; even if that kid can entangle the World's Honored One for now, in the long run, he still can't win..."
Goatee said solemnly to the lady in white.
"He will find a way," the lady in white said lightly.
Goatee was stunned; he didn't understand why the lady in white had so much confidence in Ding Fan.
The lady in white didn't say more, merely quietly watching the fight.
The lady in white had her own thoughts. Although she had not been in contact with Ding Fan for long, she could feel that Ding Fan was a clear-headed person.
Previously, he had saved her, then instructed her to place huge stones in the Qiankun positions. Now, he was entangling the World's Honored One. Although the lady in white didn't know what Ding Fan was planning, she could vaguely feel that he must have his own plans.
The lady in white's premonitions were always accurate; she firmly believed in her feelings.
Bang...
Just then, a sudden change happened in the arena.
Ding Fan was directly kicked away by the White-browed Elder.
The cultivation of the White-browed Elder was extraordinary; this kick sent Ding Fan flying out, and only after toppling a giant tree did Ding Fan manage to barely stand up.
Roar...
After kicking Ding Fan, the White-browed Elder roared and once again pounced towards Ding Fan.
"Ming Master, this kid is finished..." Goatee shook his head and said.
Ding Fan was spitting blood and having a tough time even standing; it was even more difficult to fight against an enemy.
The lady in white frowned deeply but said nothing.
In the arena, just as the elder was about to rush up to Ding Fan, when Goatee thought the White-browed Elder would surely tear Ding Fan apart, Ding Fan suddenly yanked out two Array Flags with his hands.
"Hasten!" Ding Fan fiercely threw the Array Flags.
Ding Fan had just thrown the Array Flag when a strong gust of wind suddenly arose, causing the White-browed Elder to stagger suddenly.
Squeak, squeak... The Elder struggled to charge at Ding Fan, but his movements were like those of a puppet, each motion was extremely difficult.
"How is this possible? How did the kid manage this?" The man with a goatee was baffled by this display.
Merely by throwing out two Array Flags, he had significantly slowed down the White-browed Elder's movements.
"Those two huge rocks were meant for this." The woman in white wasn't looking at the White-browed Elder right now. Instead, she was observing the two huge rocks next to the Elder, positioned in the Qian and Kun spots.
Unknown to them, the Elder had already been lured by Ding Fan to the center of these two spots. The two Array Flags that Ding Fan had thrown had activated the Qian and Kun positions. Although the woman in white did not recognize the formation, she finally understood that everything Ding Fan had done was to lure the White-browed Elder here. Even the last kick that sent Ding Fan flying was probably part of his plan.
Actually, the Imprisonment Array that Ding Fan had set up was exceedingly ordinary; it was called the Imprisonment Array Formation.
The so-called Imprisonment Array, as the name suggests, completely immobilizes anyone who enters it.
In fact, Ding Fan's Imprisonment Array was very simple. Anyone who realized they were trapped could have simply chosen to retreat at the moment they were imprisoned, thus escaping.
However, the White-browed Elder was entirely unaware. His goal was to kill Ding Fan, so even though he was just imprisoned, he kept charging forward regardless.
This formation had another feature, the more you struggled, the stronger the imprisoning force became.
Now the White-browed Elder was already struggling to take even a step, each movement was extremely difficult.
"You guys, quickly go and take the Rune from this elder's chest." Ding Fan sat down with a thud on the ground and yelled to the woman in white in the distant bushes.
No sooner had Ding Fan's voice fallen than two figures had already dashed over.
Someone reached out through the air and directly snatched the Rune from the White-browed Elder's chest.
And just as the Rune was pulled from the White-browed Elder's chest, the formerly wildly frenzied Elder suddenly drooped his head and collapsed heavily onto the ground with a thud.
"Lord Yu Ming... the World's Honored One indeed has a Rune on his chest," the Martial Artist who removed the Rune shouted at this time.
Before the Martial Artist could finish speaking, the woman in white gracefully moved to the side of the White-browed Elder.
The woman in white reached out through the air, directly took the Rune from her subordinate's hands, and examined it closely; her brows tightly furrowed.
"Soul Puppet Rune..."
The woman in white said this and looked up at the White-browed Elder trapped in the formation, her expression turning grim following a probe with her Telekinesis.
"Lord Yu Ming, what should we do with the World's Honored One?" someone asked at that moment.
The White-browed Elder had been too fierce earlier, having slaughtered a group of Earth Level Experts alone. Though he was now unconscious, the people around were still reluctant to approach him rashly. If he were to stand up all of a sudden, he could effortlessly kill them in an instant...
"The World's Honored One has already passed away..." the woman in white said indifferently.
"What..." everyone was stunned. The expert who had just arrogantly killed six Earth Level Martial Artists in this place had just died like that.
At this moment, the man with a goatee, who hadn't been optimistic about Ding Fan, glanced at Ding Fan sitting not far away.
A man just over twenty years old had actually managed to slay Lord Yu Ming.
"Lord Yu Ming, the World's Honored One was killed, we must avenge the World's Honored One!" At this moment, someone stepped forward and shouted loudly.
"Right! The World's Honored One is Lord Yu Ming's grandfather, and if he is killed, how can we just let it end like that."
"Yes, let's avenge the World's Honored One!"...
Suddenly, the Martial Artists around the woman in white were howling.
Ding Fan sat by the side, coldly watching these people. These people were really biting Lv Dongbin—the man who tried to help them—since if not for his intervention, the entire Changsheng might have been completely flattened by the White-browed Elder.
Now that he had helped them eliminate the White-browed Elder, these people, in their eagerness to please and flatter the woman in white, were actually going to turn against him...
Oh, human nature...
"Quiet..." the woman in white commanded with an authority that seemed serene but was powerful.
The woman's voice was soft, but as it was delivered with Inner Strength, everyone present heard it very clearly, almost as if she was right beside them.
"The World's Honored One had already died before he went mad. He was our friend, not our enemy," the woman in white said.
Ding Fan actually began to see the woman in white in a new light. Although he disapproved of her role in the massacre of thousands in a fight over territory, at this moment, her ability to discern right from wrong still left a somewhat favorable impression on him.
"Friend, thank you for the help. I haven't yet asked your name..." the woman in white came over to Ding Fan politely and asked.
"Ding Fan..."
