Chapter 667: Killing Dang Kang Alive and Obtaining the Twelve Boar Techniques of the Hai Branch
......
This moment.
It scared him so much he trembled like a sieve.
If the person today were simply here to cause trouble, even if his own strength couldn't match up, Fatty Kang still held hope of finding a way out.
But if this person was Lu Ding...
Who in the entire western part of the new city didn't know that this Grand Duke Lu was notoriously known for leaving no survivors, no intact corpses under his command? He killed humans, demons, monsters, and devils all with the same indifference, without even blinking an eye.
His killing nature was not ordinary in the slightest.
Falling into his hands meant nothing good.
"Lu... Grand Duke Lu... I am a good citizen... a good citizen..."
At this moment, he only wanted to muster his spiritual energy, quickly activate the Wuwang teleportation array, no longer caring if his identity would be exposed. He just wanted to run.But the spiritual energy within his body, suppressed by Lu Ding, simply wouldn't gather no matter what.
He screamed, wailed, and trembled all at once.
From the severed arm wound, one could see dark red blood mixed with a viscous substance dripping down.
What it was, no need to elaborate.
What's inside the bone marrow, everyone knows.
His shouts only echoed within the shop, because when Lu Ding made his move, he had long since used spiritual energy to seal off the surroundings.
To avoid causing too big a commotion.
The main goal was just to play it safe.
"It seems you can't hear the question I'm asking clearly."
Lu Ding slowly lowered his body, black mist completely filling his eyes, tinged with a faint red glow that highlighted his pupils.
"Do you know what happens to those young boys and girls you sell to the Yellow Heaven Sect?"
Fatty Kang's heart dropped with a thud!
How does he know!!!
A traitor!!!
There's a traitor inside Wuwang!!!!
Now that he was exposed, he simply stopped pretending. To ensure his survival, he sped up his speech: "I... I don't know, I never asked... Grand Duke Lu, don't kill me, I'm willing to be your inside man, help you eradicate Wuwang, I beg you..."
Before he could finish his sentence.
Lu Ding grabbed a handful of the flesh on Fatty Kang's back, lifted him high, and smashed him heavily onto the ground.
"You don't know!!!?"
First came a tearing sound, then, BANG!!!!
Looking at Fatty Kang lying in the crater, his back a bloody mess where bone was visible.
Then looking at Lu Ding's hand.
The entire chunk of skin and flesh from this fatty's back was now clenched in his grip, dripping blood.
The agony of having his flesh torn off alive caused the fatty to continuously emit pained groans like "uh... hh..."
This time, he truly couldn't even muster a scream.
His body arched slightly, twisted, struggled.
Lu Ding kicked and shattered the meat stall blocking his way, then slapped the skin and flesh in his hand directly onto the fatty's body.
"You damn fatty, you're fucking finished!!!!!"
An inside man?
Was he worthy?
He wasn't worthy!
For an inside man like Fatty Kang who knew his identity, Lu Ding much preferred that young man within the Wuwang organization who held some status and didn't yet know his identity.
That kind of person was the chosen inside man.
In fact, he wouldn't even need to offer him benefits;
in the end, that guy would still have to thank Lu Ding.
By comparison, a useless piece of trash like Fatty Kang only deserved to become Lu Ding's skill.
In his now-free hand, a gaping maw filled with sharp teeth was slowly opening, rotating.
This eerie, yet familiar sensation made Fatty Kang instinctively glance at the meat grinder in the shop.
A sense of ominous foreboding grew wildly in his heart.
Thud thud thud thud...
Fatty Kang lay prone on the ground, kowtowing incessantly: "Grand Duke Lu, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, spare me, spare me, I won't dare do it again."
While pleading for mercy, spiritual energy circulated within his body.
Lu Ding raised his hand and unleashed a [Way of the Jinche]. This move not only precisely severed the spiritual energy circulating within him but also cut off his chance to escape once again.
"What did I do wrong!!!!?"
As he spoke, he began to reveal his true form, two tusks growing out, bursting through his skin.
A cornered beast still fights, a dying struggle, a desperate dog will leap over a wall—a nice thought.
Seizing the moment during his wind-up, Lu Ding reached out and grabbed.
"The strong prey on the weak, natural selection, I am stronger than... AHHHH!!!!!"
His claw-like hand directly dug into the flesh between Fatty Kang's ribs, lifting him up with one hand.
And directly stuffed him into the [Torture-Crushing Great Rotation].
The sizzling sound of meat grinding began, accompanied by Lu Ding's slightly crazed voice: "I'm stronger than you now, bastard, so you go die!!!"
Minced meat sprayed from the waste discharge port, accompanied by a mist of blood.
At this moment, the scene unfolding was one of physical, instantaneous refinement.
A long time later.
The butcher shop quieted down.
A blood-soaked Lu Ding walked out from within.
He took one last look back at the butcher shop from which the smell of blood was gradually wafting.
Under the dim light, a figure drenched in blood, face stained crimson, paused for an instant, the arrogance and ferocity on his face completely visible.
He raised his hand and threw into the shop a rib he had just ripped and wrenched from Fatty Kang's body, still attached with flesh and blood.
Lu Ding cursed: "Waste."
[White Snake Shakes Scales] quietly activated, shaking off the bloodstains on his body.
As Lu Ding stepped forward, bloody footprints were left behind him one by one.
[Contained Monster: Dangkang]
[Containment Reward: Guarding Hai, Condensing Truth (spell)]
[Guarding Hai, Condensing Truth: Twelve Zodiac Hai Pig Method. During the Hai hour, cultivation is strengthened, heaven and earth reciprocate, all phenomena become clear]
Lu Ding understood in his heart.
Once this skill was activated during the Hai hour, combined with Heaven-Man Unity...
Then his cultivation speed would be comparable to a rocket, literally stepping on his own left foot with his right foot to take off!!!
The only slight imperfection was that [Guarding Hai, Condensing Truth] couldn't enhance combat power;
it couldn't be as comprehensive as Heaven-Man Unity.
But for cultivation purposes, at least during the Hai hour, that is, from 9 PM to 11 PM, it was more potent than Heaven-Man Unity.
But now there was a problem.
"The new city's time is chaotic, seasons indistinct, day and night unclear. This Hai hour..."
Lu Ding didn't know what to say for a moment.
Then, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him.
"It seems quite easy to solve..."
"After Wuwang's plan is confirmed, the Dragon Keeper Clan and the Su Family will bring treasures ranked among the Seventy-two Earth Treasures. At that time, I can secretly make a move to snatch the treasures. After wiping out those suicidal Wuwang demonic practitioners."
"Wouldn't I be able to directly turn back and return to the Great Han, to a place outside the new city where time is clearly defined, boost my cultivation a wave, probably reaching the Fifth Restriction, and then go back to deal with the Dragon Keeper Clan and the Su Family."
"Along the way... I could also try to gather from the Dragon Keeper Clan the dragons needed to upgrade the Golden Dragon Agarwood Chariot to the Nine Dragons Agarwood Chariot."
Lu Ding's eyes lit up.
This was killing many birds with one stone.
He could obtain rare treasures from the Dragon Keeper Clan and the Su Family, eliminate these two troublesome worries that would cause trouble, and collect the fragments needed to upgrade the Golden Dragon Agarwood Chariot.
After he completed all these steps and returned to the new city, by then, the new city's time, seasons, day and night should also be close to returning to normal.
There might be a small gap in the middle, allowing him to clear out the Lady's Temple 749.
Gains, full of gains, every step, none wasted.
As for whether he might fail, unable to handle the Dragon Keeper Clan and the Su Family?
That's impossible. Lu Ding would go find Elder Shui. With this backer, he had to make use of it.
Fighting alone, relying on brute courage, wouldn't that mean his work as an investigator was for nothing?
Did they really think he was a novel protagonist, charging forward alone for the sake of plot development?
Get real.
Lu Ding calculated: "After that comes the new city's closed beta ending, open beta beginning..."
As he said this, he looked up at the sky, the nictitating membrane in his eyes pulling back, eerie runes interlocking in a chain.
[Direct Gaze Eye] rotated.
CRACK!!
The oppressive black clouds overhead instantly shattered into pieces, revealing the chaotic sky behind.
Lu Ding's aura burst forth, his hair swaying.
"By then, I will face the challenge in my best condition!"
The Yellow Heaven Sect, which wouldn't let things go after their envoy was killed;
the Wuwang, stung by the pain;
talented powerhouses from various 749 branches;
major forces and influential families;
and demons and monsters wanting to fish in troubled waters.
A stagnant pool of water—wasn't it coming alive now?
Thinking of these scenes, Lu Ding couldn't suppress his smile: "Really looking forward to it..."
