Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2229: Chapter 2264: Unbelievable

Inside the Zhong family, including Zhong Ziqi, three great experts, two have already died.

At this moment, Zhong Ziqi was already in despair; he did not run away at all, as he was merely a Fifth Level Expert in the Divine Realm. The speed of the Super Airship was slower than their figures. At this point, no one in the Zhong Family could stop this mysterious expert’s attack.

Zhong Ziqi silently took out a talisman, and then crushed it with force. This was the last thing he could do; he hoped Zhong Zhiyong could receive the hint he left behind that all the people he brought had already died!

This mysterious expert did not rush to kill him but instead charged at the warriors of the Zhong family beside him, starting to massacre these Zhong Family samurai.

Zhong Ziqi helplessly watched the mysterious expert’s moves; each Zhong family warrior’s body was exploding, countless people were screaming loudly, rushing towards the Tianmu Sea. Experts with Flying Divine Swords were mounted on their weapons, flying around in panic, while others flew towards the Super Airship.

Can a flock of weak chickens escape a hunting hawk?

The answer was all too clear. Only half an hour had passed, and apart from Zhong Ziqi, none of the Zhong Family samurai who came to Skull Island escaped, even the scout cavalry lurking nearby was killed.

"Shaa~"

This mysterious expert transformed into a breeze, condensing on the deck. He stood not far in front of Zhong Ziqi, and those fearsome Steel Claws were still dripping blood, tick-tocking on the deck, emitting a terrifying sound.

Zhong Ziqi stared at the mysterious expert’s blurry face and uttered three words: "Ye Family?"

As a strategist, he certainly had more understanding of the major families and powerhouses in the Divine Realm. Zhong Ziqi truly was a talent; the Ye Family had come from the other side of the Central Plains, hidden for thousands of years, but Zhong Ziqi had still seen the data of Ye Family members.

The Ye Family was the fastest running family in the world, with Level Eight heritage. These characteristics were too obvious. It was only natural for Zhong Ziqi to deduce as much.

The mysterious figure’s blurry face gradually became clear, revealing a slightly regal face, with an air of ancient personality. Zhong Ziqi looked at him and nodded, saying: "Indeed a senior from the Ye Family, but I do not know why you are aiding Ding Fan?"

"You indeed have some insight."

Ye Li smiled slightly and explained to Zhong Ziqi: "I am not aiding him, but executing his orders, because Ding Fan is the master of our Ye Family members."

"Huh?"

Zhong Ziqi was shocked, but Ye Li did not wish to speak further, coldly saying: "Will you cripple your martial arts yourself, or shall I do it for you?"

Zhong Ziqi was dumbfounded again; why wouldn’t Ye Li kill him? He could cripple his Divine Skill and retrain, though short-term he would have no battle strength, so long as he was alive, there was still hope.

Zhong Ziqi looked at Ye Li, decisively struck his abdomen, blood surged from his mouth, and his dantian was shattered by his own palm.

When the dantian collapses, he can no longer use the power of True Yuan, nor use the Flying Divine Sword, which means he has lost his fighting capacity. Ye Li nodded, a Space Ring in his hand shone, took in the Super Airship, grabbed Zhong Ziqi, and rushed toward Skull Island.

Ye Li flew quickly, it took but a few breaths for him to reach Skull Island, his body flickered and he entered the conference hall within Skull Fort.

His face once again blurred, he threw Zhong Ziqi onto the ground and softly said: "All the Zhong Family samurai have been killed, this is their leader."

"Swish~"

Wu Qingxia and the others looked as if they’d seen ghosts, their faces changed drastically, Ye Li had only gone out for less than two hours, did he really kill all the Zhong Family samurai? And even captured the Zhong Family leader alive?

Crimson Flame glanced at Zhong Ziqi, then at Ye Li, his eyes with a different expression but said nothing, instead, looked at Ding Fan.

Ding Fan was not surprised at all, Ye Li broke through the Seventh Level Realm of the Divine Realm, had Level Eight Warrior heritage, and had comprehended Heaven Earth True Insight. If he couldn’t even kill a few Fifth Level Experts, the Ye Family would be too weak.

He looked at Zhong Ziqi and asked him: "Your name, what realm, and what position in the Zhong family?"

Zhong Ziqi recognized Ding Fan upon entering; he had seen Ding Fan’s portraits many times. He glanced at Crimson Flame standing behind Ding Fan and felt he couldn’t understand Ding Fan at all.

He pondered for a moment and frankly said: "My name is Zhong Ziqi, an elder of the inner hall of the Zhong family, at the Fifth Level Realm of the Divine Realm."

The hall erupted in another commotion for the Skeleton Sect; not mentioning the Fifth Level Realm, even if he were a Fourth Level Expert, he would be the strongest.

Ding Fan raised his hand to suppress the noise in the hall, nodded, and said: "Where is your family lord? How many people have you brought in total? In how many groups did you come?"

Zhong Ziqi did not hide anything, replied to Ding Fan: "The patriarch went to Daozhen Island, here I was in charge, a total of six teams, with nearly nine thousand people."

Ding Fan looked at Ye Li and asked: "How many groups have been killed now?"

Ye Li replied: "Two groups, plus this Zhong family group makes three, at most in another half hour, the third can kill everyone."

Crimson Flame’s eyes sparkled with brilliance, listening to Ye Li’s tone, did they actually have more people? When did Ding Fan have so many strong people by his side? This young master has become increasingly mysterious.

Ding Fan asked again: "Zhong Ziqi, how many Sixth Level Experts came with your Quadruple Forces?"

Zhong Ziqi pondered for a moment and said: "If I say, can I stay alive?"

Zhong Ziqi is a smart person. Smart people often fear death. The most proficient thing smart people can do is weigh the pros and cons. If speaking means death, then what’s the point of speaking at all?

This dilemma rendered Ding Fan speechless. Killing him was inevitable; Zhong Ziqi couldn’t be released, but if he spoke the truth, Zhong Ziqi wouldn’t say anything.

After a while, Ding Fan pursed his lips and said in a bandit-like manner, "I won’t kill you, but you must become my slave. I will plant a soul lure in your mind, and you’ll work for me for a hundred years. Your current realm is mid-Fifth Level of the Divine Realm, a hundred years is nothing for you. If you disagree, you may as well commit suicide. These are your only two choices."

Zhong Ziqi’s small eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Ding Fan and said, "Why should I trust you? What if you break the agreement?"

Ding Fan sneered, "Do you think I have any interest in a mere small Fifth Level of the Divine Realm like you?"

Then, Ding Fan glanced at Ye Li, who immediately permeated the room with a strong aura, making everyone inside feel suffocated.

When Ye Li’s aura began to retract, Zhong Ziqi inhaled sharply and said, "Indeed, truly a Sixth Level expert of the Divine Realm."

Since Ding Fan had a Sixth Level expert of the Divine Realm under his command, he really didn’t regard Zhong Ziqi highly. Zhong Ziqi pondered and said, "One hundred years is fine, three hundred is also acceptable. I have only one request."

Ding Fan waved his hand and said, "Speak!"

Zhong Ziqi deeply bowed to Ding Fan and said, "Young Master Ding, this time our Zhong Family failed to recognize you and offended you. It’s our Zhong Family’s fault. Regardless of the outcome, I beg you to leave a path for survival for our Zhong Family."

"A path for survival?"

Wu Qingxia, the Fourth Elder, and the members of the Skeleton Sect were filled with surprise. Do they want Ding Fan to leave a way out for the Zhong Family? Can Ding Fan destroy the Zhong Family? How formidable is this mysterious elder?

Ding Fan absolutely has this capability!

Zhong Ziqi was very certain. Not to mention the Crimson Flame, Ye Li alone could annihilate the entire Zhong Family. Zhong Ziqi knew that Zhong Zhiyong was definitely not Ye Li’s opponent, especially since Ye Li’s tone suggested that Ye Family’s experts were not just one individual.

Ye Family of the Central Plains, it was once one of the top families in the region.

Ding Fan pondered for a moment, fixed his gaze on Zhong Ziqi, and said, "A path for survival is possible, but it’s just one path of survival."

Ding Fan’s meaning was clear: Zhong Zhiyong and others would definitely not be spared; he merely promised not to send people to completely annihilate the Zhong Family.

Upon receiving this answer, Zhong Ziqi was already very satisfied. Ye Li mentioned that Ding Fan was now the master of all Ye Family members. Although it was unclear how many experts Ye Family had like him, it was once one of the influential families of the Central Plains. Destroying their Zhong Family would be ridiculously easy.

"This time, a total of six Sixth Level experts of the Divine Realm arrived: the Shenwu Country King, the Second Zhao Family member, the Great Elder of the Tian Family, the Divine Heaven Sovereign, and the Thousand Gods Monarch. Finally, my family’s patriarch. These six experts have all gone to Daozhen Island, accompanied by twenty-five Fifth Level experts of the Divine Realm...

Zhong Ziqi earnestly and candidly described the advance situation of the Four Great Royal Clans, detailing with great clarity the list of all the high-ranking hands who came this time, the number of troops from various aspects, the family members who led the army, and how many experts were involved, laying everything out comprehensively.

After Zhong Ziqi finished speaking, Ding Fan felt very peculiar, asking Zhong Ziqi, "Zhong Ziqi, why are you so clear about all this?"

Zhong Ziqi smiled proudly and said, "This battle at Tianmu Sea was arranged by a few of us. The Specter Valley campaign was personally organized by me. In the Zhong Family, aside from the patriarch Zhong Zhiyong, everyone must listen to me."

"Oh? I see."

This time Ding Fan didn’t expect to capture such a significant figure. He nodded, glanced at Ye Li, and said, "Plant the soul lure for him, and also help him recover his strength."

Ye Li grabbed Zhong Ziqi with one hand and walked down. Ding Fan closed his eyes, waiting for the return of the Ye Family’s Third Elder.

The Crimson Flame was consistently sparing with words; Wu Qingxia, the Fourth Elder, and others dared not ask more questions. After half an hour, two clear gusts of wind blew in, and two shadows gathered in the hall. Wu Qingxia and others took a look, appearing somewhat foolish as they couldn’t see clearly.

Because both wore burlap clothes and pants, their faces were blurry, making it impossible to distinguish. Even the Crimson Flame was the same; his divine sense was much stronger than others, yet he couldn’t perceive their faces, which seemed to be a very powerful secret technique.

The two slightly bowed towards Ding Fan, with one of them saying, "Master, all the invading enemies have been slaughtered."

"Very good, you did well!"

Ding Fan nodded and turned to Crimson Flame saying, "Let’s go, let’s have a look on Moon Mist Island. You two guard here, if any enemies approach, kill them immediately."

Ding Fan glanced at Wu Qingxia again and said, "Stay on the island, don’t move around randomly."

"Yes, sir!"

Wu Qingxia and others hurriedly responded. Crimson Flame and Ding Fan went towards Moon Mist Island. Crimson Flame didn’t use his flying sword; his legs gently tapped the water, and his body moved, as if flying in the air.

Pu Feng and others gathered outside the dock of Moon Mist Island, but the group was puzzled because scouts discovered all the corpses near Skull Island. The Zhong family’s super airship vanished, the invading warships disappeared, and many divine weapons sank into the sea. This terrified the scouts who went to investigate.

At present, Pu Feng and others were still baffled, thinking the information was erroneous, sending people to investigate again.

So many flying divine swords, among which included even mid-Fifth Level and peak flying divine swords of the Divine Realm, these were exceptional experts indeed. Pu Feng and others couldn’t believe it.
