Chapter 869: The Injured Lu Ding, the Emergence of the Mixed Heart Demons — I’ll Beat You to Death!
He had exerted his full strength, so how could these two still be alive? Were their life forces really this tenacious? Did they have this many backup plans?
They were like stubborn stains.
Alright then.
Lu Ding was also playing the villain who strikes first.
No time to worry about that, he had to cherish every moment. If he let these two catch their breath and engage in a proper head-on clash, he wouldn't gain any advantage.
He manifested his own extraordinary phenomenon.
[Six-Dragon Incense Palanquin], crushing techniques and extinguishing the Dao, he flipped onto the palanquin.
The dragon's roar sounded like a horn, the visual effects like high beams.
A flick of the reins, the throttle floored, four wheels in front, eight in the back, it felt like being run over.
It was all about one word: RAM!!!!!ROAR!!!!!
The six dragons roared, dragging the palanquin, rolling and crushing forward.
Using dragons to ram the ancestor of the Dragon Keeper Clan was simply turning the natural order upside down.
"You can fight back in your next life!!!"
Lu Ding's voice rang out as the dragon carriage pressed forward.
From within the blinding golden light, Dong Xun vaguely saw those six familiar figures, and instantly his blood pressure skyrocketed.
"Lu Ding, you are simply not human!!!!!"
As the ancestor of the Dragon Keeper Clan, he hadn't even dared to be this extravagant, using these Golden Dragons, Black Dragons, Fire Dragons... to pull a carriage for travel. Yet the dragons he couldn't bear to touch were being ridden hard by Lu Ding.
Who could stand this?
You must know, Dong Xun's regard for dragons was even more exaggerated than that for his own wife.
Such a scene was even more excessive, even more humiliating and infuriating to him, than the 'cuckolding by an incompetent husband'.
He turned his head: "Brother Changhe, I'm letting go, I can't take it, I have to kill him, I must kill Lu Ding. You help me shoulder a bit more, let me break free, I'll go duel him one-on-one!!!"
Su Changhe panicked a little: "No, Brother Dong! If you leave, I'll be crushed to death!!!"
Dong Xun was furious: "Stop fucking pretending! What's our relationship, don't I know you? Your life-bound artifact hasn't been used yet! At this point, what are you still hiding!? Use it!"
Su Changhe showed no embarrassment at having his trump card exposed, only contemplation about what would become of him after using his life-bound artifact.
But time waits for no one.
Su Changhe gritted his teeth: "Brother Dong, you know the danger of my life-bound artifact. Although I have a fifty percent chance of surviving by luck after defeating Lu Ding, I'll still be severely injured. At that time........"
"Stop the fucking nonsense! I even lost an Azure Dragon! I'll take care of you from now on!!!!"
The atmosphere had reached this point, and their relationship was solid enough—hunting curiosities together, fleeing together.
Su Changhe roared: "Fine, I'll hold it!!!"
Just watch as Su Changhe's face flushed with surging blood and qi, instantly turning crimson, with patterns of cracks spreading across his face.
With a *bang*, the flesh on his face exploded, splattering, revealing the flesh-wrapped, jade-like yet eerily cyan-colored fleshless skull beneath.
This was Su Changhe's life-bound artifact.
In an instant, his aura surged violently, gradually gaining the power to resist the suppression of [Golden Ao Island].
But this wasn't because [Golden Ao Island] wasn't strong enough; it was because Lu Ding's own cultivation realm as the user wasn't high enough.
Looking at Su Changhe, whose head had transformed into a jade-bone skull, struggling to support Golden Ao Island while speaking human words: "Brother Dong, kill him!!!"
In that instant.
Dong Xun felt the pressure on his side instantly lighten considerably. With a release of his hands, Dong Xun broke free from the suppression of [Golden Ao Island] with all his might, bursting out from the bottom, arms wide open, facing the crushing charge of Lu Ding's approaching palanquin.
"Lu Ding!!!!!!!"
It was actually quite hype.
Lu Ding flicked the reins again.
"Dong old ghost, die!!!"
BANG!!!!
The horizontally charging [Six-Dragon Incense Palanquin] accurately slammed into Dong Xun's body. The sounds of cracking, fracturing bones rang out. Pushed by this tremendous force, Dong Xun's feet dug into the ground as he was shoved back tens of thousands of meters, his back smashing through one mountain peak after another.
His chest cavity caved in.
He spat blood from his mouth.
His eyes were wide with fury, his face crimson—he had already sustained internal injuries.
But as long as he wasn't dead, he considered it a win.
Because now, he had a chance to fight back.
In front of the carriage head, Dong Xun, who had forced the [Six-Dragon Incense Palanquin] to a stop, slowly raised his head. With eyes cracked at the corners, shedding blood like bloody tears, he looked at Lu Ding.
"My turn!!!!"
Ferocious power erupted.
"Dragon Overturning Rivers Style!!!"
His hands clawing at the [Six-Dragon Incense Palanquin], he unleashed power that could do more than just overturn mountains, directly flipping over the [Six-Dragon Incense Palanquin].
Dong Xun, his half-bent legs that were gradually recovering—though slowly due to the Azure Dragon's death—suddenly jumped up.
His hands formed into claws and fists.
With consecutive punches, he hammered down at Lu Ding. Dragon shadows appeared and danced, the earth shattered, the sky cracked. Wounds continuously appeared on Dong Xun's hands, spraying blood. Every spray, every drop of blood, would transform into tiny blood dragons in the air.
They coiled around his fists, augmenting his power.
It looked terrifying, but it was actually drinking poison to quench thirst—a move of desperation from Dong Xun.
Originally, his Azure Dragon was used to suppress the White Dragon's Geng Metal power from ravaging his body. But with the Azure Dragon dead, the White Dragon had no suppression. Although it made Dong Xun stronger, the longer he fought, the more severe the injuries the White Dragon inflicted on him would become.
So, he needed to end the battle quickly.
Lu Ding bent his arms in front of him, blocking hard.
Bang bang bang bang.....
Consecutive punches coiled with blood dragons landed, hammering onto the radius bones of Lu Ding's arms. Each punch held power that could do more than just shatter mountains.
The skin and flesh on his radius bones shattered, but because Lu Ding's viscous blood didn't splatter, it didn't look that gruesome.
But this indeed counted as one of the rare battles where Lu Ding had sustained injuries.
In fact, it could be said it was the most severe injury he had suffered from the day he became a Qi Refiner and awakened his Golden Finger until today.
It was also one of the rare times he felt pain.
Lu Ding was angry. The inner demon's insane, violent voice rang in his mind, mixing with the words that spilled from Lu Ding's mouth, appearing chaotic, violent, crazy, and ferocious.
BANG!!!
He grabbed Dong Xun's descending fist.
Black smoke spewed from the corner of Lu Ding's mouth as he spoke: "Had enough?"
Dong Xun grinned, revealing blood-stained teeth: "This is just the beginning!!"
Using his other hand, he aimed a straight punch at Lu Ding's head, wanting to smash his brains out with one blow.
Unexpectedly.
Lu Ding, now consumed by madness, didn't dodge or evade. He even leaned back to gather force, putting all his strength into using his own head to directly headbutt Dong Xun's fist.
BANG!!!
The skull was originally the hardest part of the human body, combined with [Copper Head Iron Brain].
Even Dong Xun, with his extraordinary combat power at this moment,
was directly struck by this headbutt, his fingers fracturing and breaking. Moreover, the force of this headbutt continued unabated, chiseling into Dong Xun's back shoulder blade, causing a pale, fractured bone sprout to pierce through the flesh and protrude half its length.
Dong Xun cried out in pain.
Lu Ding once again seized the initiative in an instant.
Without changing his move, he flipped in mid-air to adjust his posture. From a position one head higher than Dong Xun, he delivered another headbutt, chiseling straight down onto Dong Xun's forehead.
THUD!!!!
One blow.
It slammed Dong Xun dizzy, sending him plummeting down, crashing heavily onto the ground, scattering rubble, shattering the earth, even denting his forehead.
Now look at Lu Ding, hovering in the air.
Bare-chested, black smoke billowing, murderous aura steaming, arrogance blazing in his eyes, ferocity evident on his face. His originally flesh-colored hands were stained with ink-black darkness up to his elbows. Expressionless, he spoke in the most ferocious tone, uttering the plainest words: "I will beat you to death...."
As these words left his mouth, the shackles of Lu Ding's Five Restrictions Late Stage quietly loosened, waiting only for the moment of action to erupt with a surprise. At this moment, taking the stage were Lu Ding and his inner demon, a dual coordination.
