Chapter 434: Lethal Strike
Just one round.
Yuchi Gong was knocked off his horse by Ding Ling and sent flying!
It was as if a mountain had pushed him aside and then crushed an egg effortlessly.
Yuchi Gong didn’t have time to react before he was knocked off his horse and then smashed to death on the spot.
The last scene he saw before he died was Ding Ling, eyes red, laughing maniacally as he swung the giant hammer at him!
As the shadows of the hammer fell densely.
He knew nothing more.
But in that last moment before his death, he realized that he must have been hammered into mush!
He recognized that Drumming Golden Hammer.
Li Yuanba used to turn people into mush like this as well!
Who would have thought that as time passed,
he, Yuchi Gong, would also die under this Drumming Golden Hammer.
How laughable is this? How ironic is this?!
"If I hadn’t gone against Ding Ling, if I hadn’t sought revenge, perhaps one day I could have become as powerful as Ding Ling?"
Yuchi Gong believed in his talent.
Because since he learned the Breathing Technique, it had gone very smoothly for him, and later he ascended to learn Inner Power, also extremely smoothly, without any difficulties.
He was hundreds of times better than ordinary people.
With such talent, as long as he practiced diligently, given time, becoming a top expert was foreseeable, yet unexpectedly, he died here so cheaply.
"I hope Qin Qiong and the others can be rational, not to seek revenge for me, not to seek revenge for Li Yuanba! Otherwise, it’s too dangerous! Ding Ling is simply a human-shaped beast! Much scarier than Li Yuanba."
Facing Li Yuanba,
he was still able to retaliate.
Facing Ding Ling, he couldn’t even block a single hammer blow!
Terrifying.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ding Ling charged all the way, targeting Kebineng under the central flag.
The likes of Fat Monk along the way were hammered to death, hammered flying, dying as worthlessly as Yuchi Gong.
Seeing this, some top experts from other worlds were frightened out of their wits, terrified out of their souls!
They no longer wanted to follow Kebineng’s orders and fled in all directions!
Unlike Hai Dafu, who was being blackmailed by Kebineng and had to obey him, they were free, gathered this time only to conspire for the Nine Yang Divine Skill and to kill Ding Ling.
Now Ding Ling was unkillable.
They also hadn’t obtained the Nine Yang Divine Skill.
But their immediate priority was to save their lives; they no longer cared for the coveted Nine Yang Divine Skill. Each ran like a rabbit pursued by the Death God, fleeing frantically.
In the face of life and death,
the Secret Manuals became trivial!
If there was even a glimmer of hope to defeat Ding Ling,
they wouldn’t have been so cowardly!
Indeed, Ding Ling was too terrifying.
One punch and Mu Renqing was dead, one hammer and Hong Antong was flattened! Yuchi Gong, a Super-Elite Fierce General, was hammered to death along with his horse!
And these were the top experts among them, dying so easily; if they faced Ding Ling’s Drumming Golden Hammer themselves?
Could they withstand half a move?
Just thinking about it sent shivers down their spines!
Dare they stay any longer?
Each wished they had two more legs to leave this slaughterhouse sooner!
Yes.
In their eyes,
this was a slaughterhouse. And Ding Ling was a butcher!
Single-handedly, with a female general, they had killed thousands of soldiers, and with divine energy, hammered down one expert after another!
Until now.
His energy not only hadn’t decreased,
but instead, he seemed to become more frenzied the more he killed.
The strength became more terrifying, and his speed increased.
Many of them, because they ran too slowly, were easily caught and hammered down, dying easily.
They were even more frightened, their souls almost leaving their bodies, screaming continuously.
Fortunately, Ding Ling’s main target was Kebineng; they were incidental, so Ding Ling did not pursue them but charged in a straight line, like splitting the sea, toward Kebineng.
"This guy..."
"Has been killing for so long, how does he still have so much strength!"
Kebineng was so scared that his legs cramped.
He overestimated his side’s forces,
completely underestimating Ding Ling’s endurance and combat strength!
"Is this guy possessed now? The more he kills, the crazier he gets?!"
Kebineng dared not face Ding Ling again.
Because Ding Ling had almost wiped out all the top experts on his side.
The Great Army of ten thousand suffered no less than nine thousand casualties.
The remaining thousand people were also scared, running in panic, regardless of Kebineng’s threats, intimidation, or scolding, to no avail.
Clearly, the morale had completely collapsed.
Ten thousand killed down to one thousand remaining.
It was then that it started the avalanche-like defeat.
The high quality of these ten thousand was evident.
But even so, in the end, they still lost.
Kebineng, shocked and fearful, knew he couldn’t answer to Kublai.
The ten thousand soldiers he brought were the absolute elite of the Mongolian Army!
These ten thousand elite came to threaten the Shaolin Temple, allowing him to steal the Nine Yang Divine Skill, and he used them to besiege Ding Ling.
Though he obtained the Nine Yang Divine Skill,
the plan to besiege Ding Ling was a complete failure!
Kebineng gritted his teeth, touched the Secret Manual in his arms, then turned without hesitation and ran madly.
He had the Nine Yang Divine Skill and other Secret Manuals, and had hidden many Great Medicines and treasures in some places; as long as he was given time to practice, in the future when the Nine Yang Divine Skill achieves Great Success, even if he can’t beat Ding Ling, he thought he would be more than sufficed to dominate a region!
Leaving a bright future behind?
To fight Ding Ling head-on?
No need.
Kebineng was fast, but Ding Ling was faster. Under the propulsion of Fusion Qi, his figure was like lightning, with the Drumming Golden Hammer before him. As he charged, countless blocking soldiers were knocked flying or killed.
In the end,
whenever anyone saw him running, they quickly rolled to the side, not daring to block Ding Ling’s charge forward.
"Hahaha..."
Ding Ling, with bloodshot eyes, laughed as he charged at Kebineng:
"Kebineng, you won’t escape!"
Kebineng galloped a kilometer on horseback, but seeing Ding Ling getting closer, decisively abandoned the horse and used the Lightweight Body Technique to flee up a mountain!
He ran quickly, like a gust of Xun Wind sweeping the ground.
But Ding Ling was even faster, closing the distance as if through instant teleportation, catching up to Kebineng in just a few breaths.
"Ding Ling, you can’t kill me!"
Seeing escape was hopeless, Kebineng collapsed and shouted desperately:
"I’m the Commander of Ten Thousand under Kublai! If you kill me, Kublai’s grand commander won’t let you off!"
He had suspected before.
If he ran away,
Ding Ling would definitely catch up to him easily.
But he had no idea that Ding Ling, after so many battles, could still maintain such strength, running like a thunderbolt, incomparably fast!
Against such speed,
Kebineng could only lament futilely!
But he couldn’t surrender either; while threatening, he pulled out a Hidden Weapon and fiercely launched it at Ding Ling.
It was the Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle!
The exclusive Hidden Weapon of the Three Kingdoms Assassin Organization.
Kebineng could make it too, clearly showing he had spent time in this Assassin Organization and even meticulously studied how to make this Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle; otherwise, it couldn’t have reappeared in this Divine Eagle World as such a Divine Weapon Hidden Weapon.
Yet Ding Ling’s armor and the defense of his skin, tough as four to five layers of leather armor?
These hidden weapons did not harm him one bit.
Instead, they only fueled Ding Ling’s rage further; eyes blood-red, he let out an angry roar, boom!
The Drumming Golden Hammer smashed down heavily.
"No!"
Kebineng swung his broadsword instinctively to block with all his might, but how could he withstand it?
