Chapter 684: Just Like Some Stray on the Street—Kicked to Death Instantly!
The source of the raging blade light.
Jiang Ren's heart tightened as he looked at that familiar face.
Oh no!!!
Although Lu Ding wasn't wearing his scholar-warrior sleeves now, but rather a shirt, suit pants, and red-soled leather shoes, he would not mistake this face!
Ever since Jian Suixin died, Jiang Ren had found a photo of Lu Ding.
He had just looked at Lu Ding's appearance before coming here; it was still fresh in his mind.
So there was no way he could be mistaken!!
He asked himself, his combat power was not even as good as Jian Suixin's. Even Jian Suixin had found no way out when facing Lu Ding.
Him... forget it.
But now the arrow had been loosed; it couldn't be taken back.
He could only grit his teeth and slash down.
He held onto a sliver of hope in his heart!
I am striking with all my might, while he is hastily saving someone. Even if I can't defeat him, there should still be room for maneuver.
But imagination is beautiful, reality is harsh.
Lu Ding neither dodged nor defended.
He seemed nailed in place.
He allowed the great blade to come chopping down on his head.
With a *clang*, like the tolling of a great bell, shockwaves of sound rippled out. The surrounding ground and buildings suffered devastation once more, layers upon layers of flooring and concrete being scraped away.
Looking back at the battlefield.
Lu Ding was completely unharmed.
What a head!!!
In contrast, Jiang Ren's great blade was chipped, and the web of his thumb was split open.
The hand gripping the hilt trembled uncontrollably.
The black-bladed, white-bodied sword with the *taotie* mouthguard continuously emitted a buzzing sound, as if weeping and wailing in sorrow.
Pain, such pain!!!!
Jiang Ren felt the emotion fed back from his weapon.
The expression on his face was as if he had seen a ghost.
This is an artifact of mine... this is an artifact of mine!!!!!!
Not only did you block it with your head, but you also chipped my blade?
At this moment.
Jiang Ren finally understood the terror of Lu Ding.
He even more so experienced the despair Jian Suixin must have felt when facing Lu Ding.
Against such a terrifyingly strong opponent, there wasn't even a sliver of hope for victory to be seen.
For a moment, beads of cold sweat the size of beans rolled down Jiang Ren's face, which had drained of color.
"Lu... Grand Duke Lu... I... I was wrong... I beg..."
Lu Ding lifted his leg without any warning, directly executing a high whip kick to the head with his [Moon Arc Kick]. The bright, clear moonlight flowed, spilling onto the crimson, blood-like red sole of his leather shoe, illuminating the pure gold, ferocious dragon head seal.
Jiang Ren suffered the heavy blow, his body uncontrollably collapsing to one side.
He could not absorb even one-tenth of the power of this kick.
The remaining nine-tenths were carried by his flesh as he crashed to the ground, the force discharged into the earth.
*BOOM!!!!*
Spiderweb-like cracks, with Jiang Ren's body at the center, spread outward from where he lay.
Ten meters, a hundred meters, a thousand meters, all in the blink of an eye.
Shop buildings that had already endured the baptism of looting and robbery just collapsed into ruins on the spot.
Lu Ding retracted his foot, lowering his gaze to look at Jiang Ren, who resembled a dead dog.
Neck twisted, spine shattered, internal organs bleeding, shoulder collapsed, soul cracked, the meridians within his body churned to pulp by the vicious, violent force.
"He actually isn't dead?"
Lu Ding was somewhat puzzled.
He had originally intended to kick Jiang Ren to death like he was some stray dog by the roadside.
What level is this?
Daring to come snatch territory he had his eye on?
Yet, this person actually didn't die.
Lu Ding kept his hands in his pockets, not pulling them out, and just slowly leaned forward. A sharp, fierce [Way of the Jinche] burst forth, shredding Jiang Ren's clothes and slicing open his flesh.
Because it was too sharp.
He didn't feel the pain at first.
But the sensation of flesh and tissue being cut open, muscle fibers being severed, he could feel that clearly.
What kind of terror was this?
At first, there was no feeling of pain, yet he could clearly know he was being sliced open.
Panic spread from the depths of his heart until he began to struggle.
Alright then!
It hurts!
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"
A scream erupted from the depths of his throat, woven from pain and fear.
It instantly startled Xiao Jingbai, who had been focused on exchanging blows with Qin Jinghao.
He turned his head.
He saw a shattered, dim golden talisman fly out from Jiang Ren's 'open chest cavity'.
And Jiang Ren himself, like a maggot fallen to the ground, kept twisting, kept struggling, kept screaming.
He was in agony!
This was fucking a live vivisection!!
In the end, he died on the ground from the sheer, excruciating pain.
Seeing this scene, a surge of hot blood instantly rushed to Xiao Jingbai's brain!
"Brother Jiang!!!!!!!!!!"
He pushed his palms horizontally, risking exposing his weak points, directly repelling Qin Jinghao. This kind of move was like a sacrifice kick in fighting techniques—either successfully dealing massive damage to the enemy, or failing and exposing weaknesses afterward.
Giving the enemy an opportunity, facing great risk of a KO or TKO.
Typical of not being an ordinary cannon, not playing ordinary tricks.
Qin Jinghao, who was sent staggering back, this time was truly broken on a major level.
He had known Xiao Jingbai for over a decade, close to two.
Xiao Jingbai had never taken such a huge risk for his sake.
It wasn't about jealousy or not.
Damn it, it just felt wrong!
You haven't even known him for a month, have you known him for a week?!
Why do you care about him so much!!?
They say love is sacred and cannot be defiled, so can friendship be trampled on like this!?
Xiao Jingbai, having sent Qin Jinghao flying, directly lunged at Lu Ding.
Under the operation of energy in his palms, a yin-yang fish manifested and swam, merging its imposing aura, reflecting a mystical pavilion.
It directly pressed down towards Lu Ding.
"[Pill-Grasping Hand] and [Life-Hastening Palm] combined, Yin-Yang Seizes Life, Palm of Death and Annihilation!!!!!!"
"Grand Duke Lu, dodge quickly!!!!"
Qin Jinghao shouted.
The killing move formed by using the Pill-Grasping Hand and Life-Hastening Palm together was too powerful.
Although Qin Jinghao also knew this move, if you asked him to receive it, he couldn't. With good luck, minor injuries; with bad luck, serious injuries. It depended on luck, not strength; this move was too abnormal.
It was like holding a grenade and throwing it could blow up others, but if someone else threw a grenade at you, it could also blow you up.
Although he knew Lu Ding was strong.
There was a high probability he wouldn't be in mortal danger.
But even if Lu Ding got injured, Qin Jinghao would feel guilty in his heart.
If it weren't for wanting to let him resolve the grudge, Grand Duke Lu would have probably already taken action to kill Jingbai. What if, because of his own mistake, Jingbai injured Grand Duke Lu...
Wouldn't I become the ungrateful wretch I most despise!!?
Thinking of this, Qin Jinghao directly strangled his spiritual energy and charged forward. His arms moved through the air, and as they swung, they tore black and white patterns through the air.
A yin-yang fish squeezed out from within.
It converged onto Qin Jinghao's hands, reflecting a rust-stained, blood-smeared ancient tower.
"Floating Slaughter Palm, Great Heaven-Sundering!!!!!"
A killing move!
A more vicious killing move than Xiao Jingbai's Yin-Yang Seizes Life, Palm of Death and Annihilation.
Moreover, this move Xiao Jingbai didn't know; it was something Qin Jinghao secretly learned, something their master tacitly permitted.
Two attacks carrying terrifying might, one after the other.
One struck towards Lu Ding, one struck towards Xiao Jingbai.
Both were launched with the intent to take life!!!
But the difference was, Xiao Jingbai could not withstand Qin Jinghao's move, while as for Xiao Jingbai's move...
Lu Ding glanced slightly sideways, sweeping his gaze over it with the corner of his eye.
