Ding Fan and Gao Jian quickly engaged in a fierce battle, while the other soldiers simultaneously attacked Ding Fan. In an instant, many of them had surrounded him, and there was even another cultivator like Gao Jian at the Late Nascent Soul Stage, making the situation quite unfavorable for Ding Fan.
Ding Fan wasn't worried about his own safety; it was just that with so many soldiers attacking him at once, he couldn't swiftly kill them with a single sword strike. He had to pretend to be overwhelmed, but ultimately, Ding Fan knew that apart from that small leader, Gao Jian, all the other soldiers had to be killed.
Although it wasn't difficult for Ding Fan to slay these soldiers, the challenge lay in not being able to use his full strength or easily kill them with one sword stroke. He had to engage for several rounds before skillfully defeating them, which was a test for him.
