Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2209: Chapter 2244: A Trace of True Insight

The scene at the site is tragic!

Ding Fan glanced around and noticed many bodies on the ground, all wearing Skeleton Island armor. With just a few glances, he realized at least a thousand perished in the battle, including several leaders he knew from Skeleton Island.

"Three Third Level Divine Realm experts?"

Ding Fan’s eyes locked tightly on these three experts who were attacking the Tigertooth Apes. Ding Fan’s body shot forth furiously, leaping into the air, and roared at the three experts: "Go to hell!"

Ding Fan did not unleash the Sirius Roar, but roared loudly, a sound that spread across the battlefield, causing those still fighting to tremble.

Countless eyes swept towards him, only to see Ding Fan’s figure split into two, then four, pulling out a row of phantasmal shadows in mid-air, appearing extraordinarily eerie.

"Island Master!"

Numerous warriors on Skeleton Island shouted with delight, their bodies covered in blood. For these warriors, Ding Fan was their national hope; finally, their king appeared at the most dangerous moment, and they nearly knelt down to worship.

Ding Fan jumped down from the sky, then a dozen ghosts rushed into the crowd. His Heaven Measuring Ruler swept forward with wind and thunder, instantly cutting three pirates in half, sending them flying.

"Bang bang bang~"

Ding Fan charged forward at a terrifying speed, no enemy could withstand a single move, nor could any corpse remain intact, and none could stand against him.

The leader of the pirate group on this side was a Third Level Peak Divine Realm expert, nicknamed Tiger Shark. His eyes were small, filled with malicious light. Seeing Ding Fan charging towards, he gritted his teeth, stopped killing the remaining Tigertooth Apes, and said to the other two Third Level Divine Realm experts: "Let’s go together and take down Ding Fan first!"

The order from above was to kill everyone on Skeleton Island, but they couldn’t kill Ding Fan. Ding Fan was famous after all, so Tiger Shark dared not be careless, he could only call for the other two Third Level Divine Realm experts to besiege Ding Fan together.

Tiger Shark originally had more Third Level Divine Realm experts here, but two were killed in the first wave of attacks by Mu Gaosou, and two more were killed by the Tigertooth Apes, leaving only these three Third Level Divine Realm experts. In Tiger Shark’s view, even with just three men, they could severely injure Ding Fan. Ding Fan seemed to have broken through to the Third Level of the Divine Realm, but the three here were long at the Third Level, how could he be their match?

"Howl~"

Who knew, when the three approached to within three meters, Ding Fan suddenly let out a deafening roar, this roar was not the same as before but the sound of the Sirius Howl.

The roar seemed to have shouted the heavens down, as everyone nearby felt the sky tremble, became dizzy, the space shook, the wind blew fiercely, countless eardrums popped and crackled, blood flowed from seven orifices, heads rested on the ground, wailing miserably.

It was the same for Tiger Shark; as their eardrums and souls punctured, they felt numerous invisible tiny needles piercing through their eardrums and into their souls.

Not only the pirates on the island, but many people on Skeleton Island were also injured, clutching their heads and crying in pain; the roar from Ding Fan’s mouth was too terrifying, no one within a hundred meters could stand up.

"Ah?"

Ding Fan was also frightened; how did the magic power of Sirius Howl become so powerful?

When he battled the Xu Family Fort and Zhong Family people at Great Python Mountain, he clearly remembered that the Sirius Howl skill had only a slight effect on Third Level Divine Realm experts, but now even Tiger Shark was clutching his head and rolling on the ground.

"Is it the soul? Does this power have something to do with the wolf pattern in the Soul Pool?"

Ding Fan recalled what Herr Ningshuang had said about his Sirius Howl being a soul-type martial skill; he seemed to have reforged his soul, and in the soul, there’s a strange wolf-shaped pattern, which might be related to the increased power of Sirius Howl.

"Whiz!"

He paused briefly, reacted, then began killing, swinging the Heaven Measuring Ruler along the way, easily mowing down those pirates like cattle and sheep.

"Howl~"

When Tiger Shark slightly regained his senses, Ding Fan was already close to them. He let out the Sirius Howl again, knocking the three down to the ground, effortlessly killing the three Third Level Divine Realm experts.

The Tigertooth Apes seemed relatively unaffected, Ding Fan shouted to a Skeleton Island expert hiding behind the Tigertooth Apes in the woods: "Are you dead? If not, control the Tigertooth Apes to kill all pirates."

The expert was certainly not dead; if he died, those Tigertooth Apes would lose control, but his eardrums were ringing, his soul trembling, he couldn’t clearly hear what Ding Fan was saying.

He quickly understood Ding Fan’s meaning and regained consciousness, controlling the several blood-drenched Tigertooth Apes to start slaughtering.

With no more Third Level Divine Realm experts here and the help of the Tigertooth Apes, he could easily control the situation. Ding Fan sprinted off to support the next battlefield.

"Island Master, the Island Master is here!"

"Look, the Island Master is here! We are saved."

Ding Fan’s two roars alarmed the martial artists on two other battlefields on Skeleton Island, only Ding Fan could have such a howl, they had heard long ago about Ding Fan’s Sirius Howl in the Tomb of Emperor Yelang.

Those two battlefields were several times worse than Ding Fan’s side; the warriors of Skeleton Island were almost completely doomed. Mu Gaosou was struck down by Ru Mingwei, with severe injuries on many parts of his body, he lost an arm too, pitiful, looking inhuman.

"My master, you finally came."

Mu Gaosou nearly cried out upon hearing Ding Fan’s howl, initially thinking the Second Elder’s signal would bring Ding Fan immediately, but unexpectedly Ding Fan was delayed by several dozen minutes; if he arrived any later, Mu Gaosou estimated he would courageously die.

He instantly controlled his Flying Divine Sword, roaring as it flew towards Ding Fan, while Ru Mingwei, a big man, mocked him from behind. In Ru Mingwei’s view, the strongest on the island should be Mu Gaosou, Ding Fan? Not a threat at all?

"Stupid dog!"

Seeing Ru Mingwei closely pursuing, Mugao’s eyes revealed a mocking expression. Ding Fan could even kill a Fourth Level Peak expert in the Divine Realm, Ru Mingwei was nothing!

...

"Eldest Young Master!"

At the docks, Xu Haibo, hearing a roar, said to Xu Jianqiang: "Should we retreat first? It’s not safe here."

"What are you afraid of?"

Xu Jianqiang said with disdain: "Ru Mingwei should be able to handle Ding Fan. Besides, even if he can’t, he wouldn’t dare to kill us no matter how brave he is. I want to see Ding Fan, like a dog, kneeling before me, begging for mercy."

In the battle at the Wu Family Fortress of Great Python Mountain, the Xu Family also received intelligence, but due to the Zhong Family and Herr Family deliberately concealing it, the Xu Family’s intel was incomplete.

Ding Fan killed a Fourth Level expert from the Zhong Family with a single Heaven Measuring Ruler strike. Many find this laughable; if a Second Level expert could indeed kill a Fourth Level in the Divine Realm, the cultivation system of this world would have to be completely redefined.

Many speculated at the time that Zhong Wuqing’s Flying Divine Sword wasn’t broken by Ding Fan but was attacked and broken by someone else before Ding Fan intervened, meaning Ding Fan merely hit a dead tiger.

Furthermore, the Xu Family suspects that Zhong Wuqing’s Flying Divine Sword was broken by a Herr Family expert, but Herr Family refuses to admit it. Just imagine Ding Fan a year ago, like a stray dog chased into Tianmu Sea; how could he possibly have a Fifth Level Divine Realm expert as his backing?

True, he knows a Crimson Flame, but Crimson Flame has always been in Tianmu Sea. After the incident, scout cavalry from the Daozhen Family investigated and confirmed Crimson Flame hadn’t left Tianmu Sea; during the battle at the Wu Family Fortress, Crimson Flame was at Tianmu Sea buying spiritual medicine in an auction, witnessed by many.

Thus, Xu Jianqiang remained unafraid, standing confidently with the Xu Family behind him. And behind him, was Madam Yan, the decision-maker of the Daozhen Family in this generation, with backing from the Herr Family. In Tianmu Sea, whether Ding Fan has the ability to kill him or not, even if he did, he wouldn’t dare.

Xu Jianqiang refused to leave, and Xu Haibo couldn’t force him to. Xu Haibo thought it over and wasn’t too worried; Ru Mingwei isn’t an ordinary pirate; his strength is formidable. Ding Fan, even if he broke through, is only at Third Level in the Divine Realm, hardly a match for Fourth Level Ru Mingwei!

...

"Master, Master~"

Within Skull Island, Mugao fled desperately, rushing madly towards Ding Fan, with Ru Mingwei trailing him closely.

Ru Mingwei had a chance to kill Mugao but didn’t; he wanted to kill him in front of Ding Fan, making the master and servant fall into despair, thus shattering Ding Fan’s courage would make capturing him easy.

Mugao was extremely fast, covering dozens of miles in just tens of seconds, and seeing Ding Fan approaching from afar, he was overjoyed, yelling towards Ding Fan once more: "Master!"

Ding Fan scanned the sky, seeing Mugao’s plight, feeling a mix of remorse and relief. Fortunately, he woke up; it wouldn’t be long before both Mugao and martial artists on Skull Island were killed.

"Awooo~"

A roar erupted, as boundless anger surged within Ding Fan. He kicked forcefully with both feet, propelling himself skyward. Mugao cooperated well, controlling the flying sword to approach, and Ding Fan landed on it.

With Ding Fan present, Mugao felt reassured, not continuing to flee but turning to wait for Ru Mingwei.

"Hahaha!"

Before approach, White Beard laughed exuberantly towards the sky, looking at Ding Fan said: "You’re Ding Fan? Will you tie yourself up and surrender, or shall I crush your bones and take you back?"

Ding Fan thoroughly scrutinized Ru Mingwei, then coldly said: "Just you? You’re not enough!"

The flying sword before him was only at a middle stage of Fourth Level Divine Realm, but Ding Fan had killed a Fourth Level Peak expert. He truly didn’t consider Ru Mingwei as anything noteworthy.

"Arrogant!"

Ru Mingwei widened his eyes fiercely, sneering: "You ignorant brat! I kill hundreds daily; today let me show you what a true expert is!"

"Be careful, Master!"

Mugao swallowed a healing medicine and said softly: "This pirate has comprehended a trace of the True Insight, infusing it into his Flying Divine Sword, making him incredibly formidable."

"True Insight?"

Ding Fan wasn’t entirely clear about it, having heard but not fully understood.

"It’s a truth of Heaven and Earth," Mugao quickly explained: "Remember at Zhuilang Cliff, when you met an expert who utilized Heaven and Earth’s Momentum? That was a low level of Heaven Earth True Insight, the most terrifying means of a martial artist, capable of splitting mountains and seas, annihilating heaven and earth."

"Oh, oh!"

Ding Fan became serious. "Heaven and Earth’s Momentum" he had witnessed firsthand. That was only the lowest level of True Insight; how terrifying must the higher levels be? Ru Mingwei having comprehended a trace of Heaven Earth True Insight couldn’t be taken lightly.

"Whoosh..."

Ru Mingwei approached swiftly, his flying sword remarkably fast and spinning at high speed, inexplicably enabling him to fly in mid-air, appearing extremely eerie.

"Swish swish swish~"

As Ru Mingwei’s flying sword spun faster, the surroundings underwent a clear transformation. The sky darkened noticeably, and in the vicinity of several miles, darkness engulfed everything.
