Top-tier Unruly Master
Chapter 1970 - 2007: Zhuge Qing’s Choice
Zhuge Qing, shocked upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, said:
"You’re here to obtain the legacy of Sirius? Brother Ding, you must be joking?"
Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, Ding Fan slowly shook his head and replied calmly:
"I single-handedly solved all the arrangements outside the Sirius Tomb. With such prowess, do you think I can obtain the legacy of Sirius?"
Zhuge Qing, shocked by Ding Fan’s words, exclaimed:
"You solved all the arrangements outside the Sirius Tomb by yourself? How is that possible! I have seen those arrangements before, and even the leader of the Skeleton Sect dared not touch them. You’re saying you solved them alone? That’s simply impossible!"
As Zhuge Qing spoke, the brows of Xia Ling and the Yuan brothers beside Ding Fan gradually furrowed. They paused briefly and then replied to Zhuge Qing with some indignation:
"All those arrangements outside the Sirius Tomb were indeed solved by Brother Ding alone, beyond any doubt!"
"That’s right, Brother Ding’s abilities are beyond your imagination!"
Upon hearing Xia Ling and the Yuan brothers, Zhuge Qing was full of disbelief and stared intensely at Ding Fan.
"If Brother Ding solved all the arrangements outside the Sirius Tomb alone, then the true legacy of Sirius should indeed be inherited by Brother Ding!"
Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, a hint of surprise flashed in Ding Fan’s eyes as he stared firmly at Zhuge Qing’s face.
But on Zhuge Qing’s face, Ding Fan saw no other expressions, just seriousness.
Seeing this, surprise flickered in Ding Fan’s eyes, his lips twitching slightly, and he nodded slowly to Zhuge Qing.
"In that case, let’s all continue..."
Everyone around nodded slowly, Zhuge Qing also slowly approached Ding Fan and said softly:
"Brother Ding, I am willing to stay by your side..."
After listening to Zhuge Qing, surprise flashed in Ding Fan’s eyes, and he asked Zhuge Qing doubtfully:
"You still want to follow me now?"
Zhuge Qing’s lips formed a slight curve in response, pausing briefly before saying:
"I realize you are truly more suited to inherit Sirius’s legacy than me..."
Ding Fan fell into silence after hearing Zhuge Qing, contemplating briefly before nodding slowly to him.
Seeing Ding Fan’s demeanor, Zhuge Qing’s lips also curved into a smile, pausing slightly before saying:
"Brother Ding, I have just one request: help me kill the leader of the Skeleton Sect!"
A surge of immense hatred burst out from Zhuge Qing’s eyes upon these words, turning his eyes blood red.
Ding Fan too looked into Zhuge Qing’s eyes, pondering briefly, and nodded slowly to him.
Receiving Ding Fan’s response, Zhuge Qing’s lips curved into a smile, eyes full of mirth.
"Thank you..."
The soft words slowly came out from Zhuge Qing’s mouth, and upon hearing them, Ding Fan’s eyes flickered slightly, pondering for a moment before patting Zhuge Qing’s shoulder.
Ding Fan looked at Xia Ling and the Yuan brothers beside him, pausing slightly before addressing everyone:
"Everyone, next, let us see what treasures truly lie within the Sirius Tomb!"
Xia Ling and the Yuan brothers, upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, showed signs of excitement in their eyes and nodded to him.
Before long, Ding Fan led Xia Ling and the others into another secret passage, and as they entered, bright flames suddenly illuminated the previously dark passage.
Seeing this, Ding Fan’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise, his Iron Sword swaying slightly, with a metallic resonance echoing from it.
As Ding Fan sensed the unusual movement from the Iron Sword, his eyes brightened, showing a hint of amazement.
Beside him, Zhuge Qing, after noticing the abnormality of the Iron Sword in Ding Fan’s hand, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, staring fixedly at the Iron Sword in Ding Fan’s hand.
When he clearly saw Ding Fan’s Iron Sword, a hint of surprise also appeared in his eyes.
"This... is this the Dragon-Slaying Demon-Beheading Sword?!" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, Ding Fan showed a hint of surprise in his eyes and asked Zhuge Qing calmly:
"Do you recognize this sword?!"
After hearing Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing’s eyes instantly showed a touch of seriousness as he slowly said to Ding Fan:
"This Dragon-Slaying Demon-Beheading Sword is quite famous in the Divine Realm as a Divine Artifact. But it disappeared from the Divine Realm at some point and hasn’t appeared since. I never expected it to end up in your hands, Brother Ding. It seems I have chosen the right person this time..."
Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, Ding Fan’s gaze flickered slightly, his lips trembled slightly, and he said calmly to Zhuge Qing:
"It seems this Dragon-Slaying Demon-Beheading Sword really is something from the Divine Realm..."
Hearing Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing showed a hint of surprise in his eyes and asked Ding Fan slowly:
"Brother Ding, didn’t you obtain this Dragon-Slaying Demon-Beheading Sword in the Divine Realm? How could that be? Are you from another world?!"
Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s question, Ding Fan shook his head slightly, then said to Zhuge Qing in a low voice:
"It’s nothing, just a bit curious about this Dragon-Slaying Demon-Beheading Sword..."
After hearing Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing nodded slightly, as if semi-understanding, and slowly closed his mouth.
Ding Fan, feeling the strange trembling of the Dragon-Slaying Demon-Beheading Sword in his hand, instantly showed a hint of seriousness in his eyes and said to the group around him:
"This hidden passage seems unusual..."
Beside him, Zhuge Qing, upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, also showed a hint of seriousness in his eyes, clearly understanding far more about the mysteries of the Dragon-Slaying Demon-Beheading Sword than Xia Ling and the Yuan brothers.
Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling and the Yuan brothers all showed a hint of seriousness in their eyes, their bodies tensing slightly, watching the surroundings with extreme caution.
And upon seeing this, Ding Fan also showed a hint of seriousness in his eyes, his body instantly bursting forth with a formidable aura. The Iron Sword in his hand trembled slightly, and almost in the blink of an eye, he threw it out.
When the Iron Sword was thrown by Ding Fan, an extremely powerful Sword Qi instantly erupted from the sword body, making it quiver slightly, then it hovered in the sky, not making any further moves for the moment.
Upon seeing this, Ding Fan’s eyes instantly narrowed, filled with seriousness, while Zhuge Qing, seeing this, showed a hint of fear in his eyes and said to Ding Fan in horror:
"Brother Ding, we might really be in trouble this time. Judging by the response of the Dragon-Slaying Demon-Beheading Sword, we must have encountered something even it fears!"
Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, a gleam flashed through Ding Fan’s eyes, and he slowly asked Zhuge Qing:
"Can you determine what it is?"
Upon hearing Ding Fan’s question, Zhuge Qing’s eyes instantly showed a hint of seriousness as he slowly shook his head and said:
"I can’t. This situation could be a powerful treasure suppressing the Dragon-Slaying Demon-Beheading Sword, or possibly a very terrifying existence..."
After hearing this, Ding Fan’s eyes instantly showed a hint of seriousness and he slowly said to the people around him:
"In that case, I want to see exactly what it is that can suppress my Dragon-Slaying Demon-Beheading Sword like this!"
Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling and the Yuan brothers also showed a hint of surprise in their eyes and said to Ding Fan with concern:
"Brother Ding, if even the Dragon-Slaying Demon-Beheading Sword fears it, we can imagine how powerful it must be. I think we should..."
As Ding Fan listened to Xia Ling, his eyes slowly narrowed, and after a slight contemplation, he slowly said to Xia Ling and the others:
"No worries! Since we are here to seek the inheritance of Sirius, we must face dangers that ordinary people cannot. If we can’t even endure this, then I might as well choose to quit..."
Beside him, Zhuge Qing’s eyes instantly brightened upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, and he said in praise to Ding Fan:
"Brother Ding, you are absolutely right. As cultivators, this is exactly how we should be!"
