Chapter 626: —Wagering Life for Survival, Flesh and Bone Fetch a Good Price
......
【Sinful Aversion·Meat-Cleaver Scale: Betting Life Against Death, Flesh and Bones at Good Price】
Well.
Another underworld-style artifact.
But he had already mentally prepared himself.
After all, the master of the Crystal Coffin didn't look very presentable to begin with, and practiced the bizarre Aversion techniques.
What kind of decent-looking treasure could possibly drop from something like that?
This time, the stereotype proved correct.
However, poor appearance doesn't mean the thing isn't useful.
Lu Ding carefully contemplated it.Hmm!!!
This somewhat touches upon conceptual-level skills.
Just a bit too bloody.
It's purely a life-gambling artifact with extraordinarily powerful effects.
Belonging to the category of "injure the enemy a thousand, damage yourself eight hundred" - the purest form of forbidden Aversion technique.
Simply described as:
Raise a balanced scale.
Lu Ding on this side, the enemy on that side.
Both parties slice flesh, pick bones, and weigh blood.
For every pound I cut off and throw on the scale, you must cut one pound too.
If you refuse to cut, once the scale tilts beyond a certain angle, you lose and are forcibly affected by the technique.
The rules of 【Meat-Cleaver Scale】 can dismantle you into pieces.
Directly disassembled.
Dead beyond dead.
Completely reminiscent of reckless youths gambling with death tokens.
Even winning would be a pyrrhic victory.
For ordinary people, unless absolutely desperate, this definitely shouldn't be used.
But Lu Ding is different.
Thinking about the cost of 【Meat-Cleaver Scale】, he smiled.
Somewhat uncontrollably.
Why, you ask?
"White Snake Shakes Scales paired with this thing, isn't it a perfect match?"
"Moreover, White Snake Shakes Scales allows extreme body control, pain completely blocked......"
Lu Ding didn't dare imagine further.
He could slice himself up like peeling radish skin.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
One moment cutting off flesh and bones, the next moment the wound heals, without any pain, almost like scrubbing off dirt in a bathhouse.
And with his spiritual energy reserves supporting White Snake Shakes Scales' recovery.
It's not much - easily three days and three nights, ten days to half a month without blinking.
Facing anyone, who wouldn't collapse?
They'd definitely give a thumbs up and praise: "You're truly ruthless, not just slicing others but yourself too."
Plus the rule intervention of 【Meat-Cleaver Scale】.
The enemy can only follow Lu Ding's slicing.
Don't slice and die immediately, slice and still die later.
Their recovery can't keep up with his.
"Interesting......"
Lu Ding evaluated.
The mutual influence between skills really creates wonderful combinations.
If he didn't have 【White Snake Shakes Scales】, if he didn't have that super-sized spiritual sea, he really couldn't use this rule-based 【Sinful Aversion·Meat-Cleaver Scale】 effectively.
But now......
He could use it like a normal attack.
His gaze fell upon the monster types displayed by his golden finger.
Coffin-Buying Ghost/Lone Bamboo Lord Floating Coffin
Precise.
After all, Chen Jun and the Crystal Coffin master share one body with dual souls.
These two monster types.
One originates from 【Zhu Zi's Records of the Strange】
The content is too long, all in classical Chinese, he can't remember clearly, but the general meaning is:
When people die without descendants to bury them, they can only buy coffins for themselves, hence called Coffin-Buying Ghost.
As for the other.
It comes from 【In Search of the Supernatural】
It says 【In Han Dynasty's Buqi County there was Lone Bamboo City, the ancient state of Lone Bamboo Lord. During Emperor Ling's Guanghe first year... someone from Liaoxi saw a floating coffin in Liao River, wanting to chop it open...
The person inside the coffin spoke: "I am Bo Yi's younger brother, the Lone Bamboo Lord. Seawater damaged my coffin, hence I drift. Why do you chop me?" The person feared, dared not chop.
They built a temple to worship him, but any officials or commoners who wanted to open and look all died without illness】
Roughly meaning,
In Han Dynasty there was a city called Lone Bamboo City, the ancient capital of Lone Bamboo Lord. During Emperor Ling's Guanghe first year, someone saw a floating coffin in Liao River, with quite sharp eyesight.
"Yo! Golden Phoebe nanmu, rare treasure!!!"
He went and retrieved the coffin.
Thinking such a fine coffin must contain treasures inside, he took tools and started chopping noisily.
The person lying inside couldn't take it anymore.
Kicked open the coffin lid and roared: "What are you doing, what the hell are you doing!!!!?"
"Can't you see I'm on a road trip!!?"
Well, never seen this kind of road trip method - drifting in water aboard a coffin....
You're playing quite innovatively.
Pointing at these people he scolded: "Riffraff, the kind of troublemakers from poor mountains and evil waters, even stealing coffins, are you that desperately poor!?"
"I am Bo Yi's younger brother, the ruler of Lone Bamboo State!"
"You dare steal my coffin? Without proper resolution today, I'm not leaving!"
As they say, you still remember you're a ruler?
Aren't you just acting like a complete hooligan?
But considering the historical context, Han Dynasty.
Alright.
Never mind.
Early Han founding succubi still getting drunk watching dog fights at forty-seven.
At least he had been a ruler once, though somewhat rogue, he genuinely had substance, frightening these others senseless.
After negotiations and bargaining, they finally agreed to build a temple and worship him.
Later after this person went back to sleep inside, people always wanted to check if he was really sleeping.
No misunderstanding, definitely not coveting the golden phoebe nanmu, absolutely not.
Result: anyone who opened the coffin to look died.
Euphemistically called: dying without illness
When Lu Ding read this passage before, he had complained about it, and today he complained again.
"Written quite well, 'dying without illness' - isn't that just suffering retribution from a curse?"
Withdrawing his gaze.
Though it seemed like a long delay, actually only a few minutes had passed.
Opening the communication device.
Lu Ding made final confirmation: "Report situation."
Fu Xinghe's voice came through: "Brother Lu, the Reshaper is operating normally, currently replenishing energy."
Originally one unit would have been completely sufficient.
Who would have thought....
Lu Ding took action, crushing everything effortlessly.
Standing alone in the sky, one blade northward, plowing earth and splitting mountains, fiercely striking Xiankong Town, blasting through for hundreds of thousands of meters.
It left Fu Xinghe utterly stunned.
Resulting in the Reshaper's actual workload being much larger than estimated.
Fortunately, Lu Ding positioned himself well - the direction swept by 【Way of the Jinche】 blasted through already cleared areas straight into the mountains.
Now they only needed to restore the originally recorded regions.
Compensate what needs compensating, repair what needs repairing.
Anyway, after cleaning up the Zhao Family this time, money is no object!!!
As for those mountains and forests, they're public property - no compensation needed between left and right hands, meaningless.
Then.
Zhan Tingzhou's voice.
"Zhao Family progress smooth, no need for concern"
He had been monitoring this situation while purging the Zhao Family too - the terrifying scenes filling the sky, that ultimate killing blade.
It directly made Zhan Tingzhou's gaze turn crystal clear.
He couldn't help doubting his initial idea of helping Lu Ding gain promotions and wealth, jointly seeking adventures.
"Maybe I should just cling to his thigh instead........"
He realized he was like a rich second generation sitting on gold and silver mountains - entrepreneurship has risks, investment requires caution, better to just cling to Lu Ding's thigh and squander wealth.
He provides information, Lu Ding handles the action.
Perfect.
After receiving both reports.
Lu Ding took one last look behind him at the place where Golden Ao fell, now completely devastated.
"If I didn't directly use the ultimate move, what if it escaped......"
This bit of post-battle compensation, compared to 【Golden Ao Island】, Lu Ding found it worthwhile.
After all, Wuwang does possess ancient teleportation arrays.
Had to make the first battle the decisive one, catching them by surprise, going all out from the start.
Responding to both:
"Then continue your work, I'm going out for a while, contact via communicator if needed."
Saying this, Lu Ding soared into the sky, breaking through clouds toward the direction where Golden Ao threw the golden shield before dying.
Whoosh.
Very fast.
