Chapter 624: New Anomalous Harvest: Golden! Ao! Island!!!
.......
Jin Si couldn't understand it, he couldn't make sense of it.
Moreover, a hair-raising danger alert kept flashing in his mind.
Lu Ding, drawing his blade......
This was his absolute final play left for any Wuwang member.
No matter who you are, as long as you dare to come, then one slash.
With absolute force, end the fight.
"What a farce, it should end now!!!!"
Lu Ding's voice reverberated with chorus.
Black smoke surged into clouds, the Red Coffin opened wide, and from within a slender jade hand and a fair lotus-like arm extended, offering a long scarlet blade for him to grasp, all elegance and poise.Lu Ding's momentum surged, the black qi on his body shifting from seeping out to shooting straight into the sky, like war beacons erupting.
Blood Frost was tightly gripped in his hand.
Slash!!!!!!
A dark-red blade light cut through the previous farcical scene, half of Xiankong Town began to bleed;
every structure and rock in its path could not stand against that power. Their cold forms seemed to become flesh and blood, and this slash ripped out their bones.
What remained of flesh collapsed, shattered, and scattered across the ground, ground into powder.
Scarred earth, a rotten sky—this was the wound infection left after the Way of the Jinche slashed through with irresistible force!!!
That slash had been charging since the last time it struck Dong Minglong.
Its strength made the spirit of Jin Si, who had rushed toward the Rat Demon corpse, tremble violently.
He flung the golden shield in his hand toward the distant horizon!!!
Ignoring his current position, he revealed his true form without hesitation.
Golden light shone for a hundred thousand meters, settling on the ground, dominating and shaking a thousand mountains.
"Block it!!!!!!!"
Jin Si roared.
He used the defensive frontal slash he prided himself on.
Before the blade reached, his neck cooled, and when he bowed his head he knew the bloodline would be long......
As his vision slid downward, Jin Si saw his own headless corpse;
at the severed neck the fresh flesh pulsed, not yet spurting.
He belatedly thought, "Why doesn't it hurt........."
The light in his eyes gradually faded, the huge skull hit the ground with a thud.
Thud......
The ground trembled.
The Golden Ao murmured, "It hurts......"
Unable to move, its gaze stared into the distance: "Wife, I can't go back......"
The candle of life burned out. Jin Si, a Wuwang body whose fleshly strength could rival artifacts with 'Retreat Sea Bearing Mountain' defensive might, died today for a single slash.
Lu Ding held the long blade and looked toward the direction the golden shield had flown.
"A reserve?"
"Shouldn't be..."
He still had confidence in the ultimate killing power of the Way of the Jinche.
But in any case, Lu Ding prepared to go have a look.
He glanced back one last time, intending to look at Jin Si's corpse, and in the middle of that glance his eyes swept past the master of the Crystal Coffin, grievously injured by Immortal-Disgusting Heart-Gnawing, making Lu Ding shiver. The shredded flesh hanging from that being kept falling.
It seemed terrified it would be struck by the blade too.
"I surrender....."
Lu Ding dismissed the words with a disdainful look, raising a finger to interrupt: "You don't even have the right to die by my blade."
The master of the Crystal Coffin thought it could survive.
But when light and shadow intertwined and in a parallel angle it saw Lu Ding's figure and the master of the Crystal Coffin miss each other,
Listen.
Bang!!!!
That was another celebratory firework announcing a skill arrival.
"Aren't I surrendering......."
Lu Ding didn't turn his head: "Did I agree?"
Hundreds upon thousands of toothy hands, dragging tails as thin as rat tails, poured out from within the master of the Crystal Coffin, clamoring to be first.
"Thousand scales, ten thousand scales open, Immortal-Disgusting Heart-Gnawing comes........"
At death's door, the master of the Crystal Coffin's last thoughts were complicated—relieved, relieved it hadn't been cut by Lu Ding's blade.
Also humiliated, humiliated that it didn't even deserve to be struck by one.
It had truly not been struck, yet was displeased.
Chen Jun, who coexisted with it, was painfully awakened, weakly screaming;
he managed one cry, then nothing.
This time it was real death.
From start to finish, Lu Ding didn't look twice.
Only when he sensed those hands intending to go wreak havoc elsewhere did he press his blade-finger formation to his brow.
"Disperse!!!!"
Not only did the long-mouthed blood-colored hands vanish and fade, but also the dragon crown above his head, the hanging meat and bones behind him, and the corpse-water Yellow River in the sky.
All that remained was a sky too awful to look at, and great warm shafts of light pouring down from the rended heavens onto the ground.
Xiankong Town hadn't seen such bright sunlight in a long time.
Destroying is how one establishes.
Lu Ding lowered his blade-finger from his brow and returned to his usual expression.
"The power of Immortal-Disgusting Heart-Gnawing is not small. Without the right opportunity and location, it's best to restrain its use."
Lu Ding had truly experienced how vicious the aversion techniques were.
When they appeared, they made him seem less like a righteous public servant for country and people.
Why couldn't it have given him something dignified, useful, and aesthetically pleasing?
All it gave were useful but ugly moves, those that left a rigid impression.
Thinking this, Lu Ding's mood shifted.
He still had two skill blind boxes unopened.
"I hope they give me stuff that won't be so easily misunderstood."
Though hopeful, he first inspected Jin Si's corpse.
It was called being thorough.
And to see if there was anything good he could loot.
The result: nothing......
Even the corpse's spirit was gone;
after one Way of the Jinche slash, its nourishment was worse than pork......
Lu Ding sighed: "Didn't have that fate...."
The Way of the Jinche burst forth from his hand, destroying the corpse and erasing traces, cutting it into fine dust that melded into the air and scattered in the wind.
He looked again into the distance.
"Open the blind box, come now, let you fly for a bit."
First came Jin Si's.
[Contained Monster: Golden Ao]
[Containment Reward: Golden Ao Burden (Anomalous)]
[Golden Ao Burden: Incomplete anomalous form, requires suitable components to assemble into a complete form]
Lu Ding frowned.
Not......
He had used all the Way of the Jinche he'd been saving, and this is what it gave him?
The description was vague.
He still hadn't gathered his Thirty-Six Heavenly Stems, the Twelve Zodiac signs, the Golden Dragon Agarwood Chariot... all that nonsense wasn't complete yet.
Great.
Now another Golden Ao Burden arrives.
A turtle without belongings.
He had to piece it together himself—where the hell was he supposed to find that?
Lu Ding stared at the two characters "Golden Ao". Though he already understood their origin, complaining took priority;
he needed to let off steam in his head.
But who knew.
As soon as that thought arose, the golden finger's characters manifested.
[Unshakable as Mountain, take position!]
[Golden Ao Burden, take position!]
Seeing Unshakable as Mountain appear again.
Lu Ding: ?????
"How many times has Stone Dang evolved now, and it comes again?"
Nanshan Stubborn Stone and Stone Dang—these two brothers were extremes: one only attacks without defending, the other only defends without attacking;
one fused crazily and evolved frantically, the other remained motionless, never showing a sign.
Lu Ding's head was full of questions.
He added, "Can spells even combine with anomalies????"
His question was answered by the golden finger.
Spells could not only combine with anomalies, this time they also came with free visual effects.
A hazy immortal mist rose and blurred his sight.
As the rosy light broke the fog,
Lu Ding saw his Unshakable as Mountain materialize in the Inner Landscape as Mount Tai, standing on the sea like a lone island.
Before he could react—how did his 'Mount Tai' end up here, is this even his Inner Landscape?—the heavens shook, the firmament cracked, and seawater rushed inward.
A golden giant claw reached out from the ruptured space, grabbed the sea, and slowly revealed its true form: a colossal Ao bearing the sun, moon, and stars on its back, all in gold.
Its immense form was the largest Lu Ding had ever seen.
The giant Ao's paw lifted Mount Tai and set it steadily on its back.
The suppressive power of Unshakable as Mountain felt like molten-gold-water flowing through the diamond-shaped shell plates, leaving sealing talismans gleaming.
The Golden Ao exhaled mirage-like vapors.
With the characters on the golden finger manifesting,
Even with Lu Ding's solid psychological quality and his many past big scenes, he was astonished enough to say each word slowly.
"Golden!"
"Ao!"
"Island!!!!"

At the start of the month, please, dears who power me with love, I want to update more to celebrate everyone's Labor Day holiday, but things have been hectic lately. Also, now that I'm over a million words, every fight needs to consider skill coordination;
I can't always use one move, that gets boring. I have to design different visuals for different skill combos, categorize different monsters, think of different skills, and stitch together prior foreshadowing, so writing is a bit slow—sorry sorry, an apology first, orz
