Chapter 520: Chapter 519: Battle on the Lake
The players’ ability to stir things up is evident.
Qiao Feng has turned into Xiao Feng.
Who knows how the subsequent storyline will develop?
Ding Ling has no idea.
However, perhaps it is because Xiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan went madly chasing after Murong Bo and Murong Fu that there are so many players at Yanzi Dock.
It’s quite obvious.
There are no shortage of players trying to take advantage of Murong Fu’s absence to enter Yanzi Dock and Canhe Manor to catch a glimpse of the secret manuals inside.
Ding Ling had already seen detailed maps online on how to enter Yanzi Dock and Canhe Manor.
One has to admit.
After players swarmed into the Celestial Dragon Eight Books World,
though it distorted the storyline beyond recognition, with them paving the way, Ding Ling’s map exploration work had become considerably simpler.
At the moment, Ding Ling was following the map to the letter.
Along the way, he avoided quite a few players.
But he was still blocked by dozens of small boats on Lake Tai.
On the small boat leading them, an elderly woman with a wrinkled face and slightly hunched back walked out.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a chilling gleam like a venomous snake. After scanning Ding Ling and his party, she suddenly shouted:
"It’s them!"
"Fire arrows!"
At her shout, the hundreds of strapping men on the dozens of small boats around, all drew their bows and aimed at Ding Ling and his party.
Jiu Mozhi was shocked. With so many people shooting arrows, wouldn’t they be shot like a sieve? He had just opened his mouth to shout, ’Excuse me, is there some misunderstanding?’
Before he could finish speaking.
Whoosh, whoosh!
The sound of bowstrings snapping suddenly arose, followed by the whistling of arrows. Countless arrows, at least seven to eight hundred, rained down densely as if capable of destroying and piercing everything.
Ling Yanqiu, Jiu Mozhi, and the others were all terrified.
Yet Ding Ling only frowned slightly, stepping forward as he simultaneously unleashed Spiral Nine Shadows, Ripple Step, and Cloud Smoke Flying Evasion Technique. With Fusion Qi spurring him on, Ding Ling transformed into nine figures, alternately merging and separating, revolving around Zhong Ling and Duan Yu, protecting them airtight!
Bam bam bam!
With his palms, Ding Ling repeatedly slapped in all directions. Splitting Sky Palm showed its power, each tumultuous palm strike sent arrows flying back! Some even shattered into pieces mid-air!
After one wave of the arrow rain passed.
Ding Ling’s side remained unscathed.
Jiu Mozhi and the others were ecstatic, moved, horrified, and impressed. It was the first time they saw Ding Ling using his full strength, and they finally realized how formidable Ding Ling was!
Jiu Mozhi was particularly relieved of the choice he made earlier. If he had dared to be a bit more headstrong, he might have died without a burial place!
"What?!"
The old woman couldn’t believe it.
The seven to eight hundred strapping men were also left open-mouthed, as if witnessing such a remarkable master from Jianghu for the first time.
But Ding Ling couldn’t be bothered to waste time with them.
He directly unleashed the Six Meridian Divine Sword!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
As all six fingers moved simultaneously, spurred by Fusion Qi, streaks of Sword Qi surged through the void, resembling lightning, thunder, and lasers. Amid the whooshing sound, they shot through the air towards the strapping men and the old woman!
Crackle!
Splatter!
Splatter!
Clearing everything along the way.
Like a machine gun sweeping across the heroes, wherever the Sword Qi passed, patches of strapping men fell dead on the boats and into the water!
A single streak of Sword Qi could easily pierce through five to six bodies and organs.
If grouped tightly, a single streak of Sword Qi could even pierce through more than ten bodies!
It was visible to the naked eye.
As dozens of shining, dazzling streaks of Sword Qi burst forth, the strapping men all fell down.
Either dead on the spot, severely injured and unable to stand, or shot through in the limbs, unable to fight.
In just less than two blinks of an eye.
The seven to eight hundred strapping men were rendered useless!
"...!!!"
Jiu Mozhi was stunned: "What kind of skill is this?!"
"So powerful."
Duan Yu was both excited and shocked:
"Is this the Six Meridian Divine Sword, the supreme skill of my Dali Duan family? I want to learn it too!"
As they continued their journey.
There were continuous disturbances.
Duan Yu’s reluctance to learn martial arts was diminishing, especially after being rescued by Ding Ling today and witnessing Ding Ling’s grand display of power. Observing Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing’s expressions of awe, Duan Yu seemed enlightened, with a flash of insight, thinking:
"If the Immortal Sister were present now and saw how amazing Brother Ding is, would she be moved by him?! After all, since ancient times, beauties love heroes, and heroes love beauties, nothing more than this.
If there were a few more incidents of heroes saving beauties, it wouldn’t be unusual for a beauty to fall for them.
If I don’t have any skills, how can I catch the attention and affection of the Immortal Sister?"
Understanding it clearly.
Duan Yu couldn’t help but feel regretful and remorseful. If he had learned martial arts earlier, even if not as good as Ding Ling, he would surely have been a high-level master and could have shown off in front of the Immortal Sister instead of being helpless and facing threats incapable of doing anything.
This sense of helplessness was simply unbearable for him.
Swish!
Ding Ling flew across the air, instantly reaching the old woman and pressing a palm towards her.
The old woman shouted, and with her cane, she struck heavily at Ding Ling. Ding Ling casually waved his hand and sent her cane flying, then printed a palm on her shoulder.
North Nether Divine Skill!
Absorption Skill!
Transformation Skill!
Storage Skill!
As the inner strength surged into the Dantian, a large amount of inner strength transformed into North Nether True Qi.
[Inner Power Value +30]
Indeed, she was someone nearing second-class level.
But her inner skill paled in comparison to North Nether Divine Skill. Being able to refine a strand of essence and increase the Inner Power Value by 30 was at least better than nothing.
It was hardly any different from the effect of ordinary Great Medicine.
"Transformation Technique!"
The old woman screamed.
Ding Ling directly grabbed her and tossed her onto their boat, instructing Jiu Mozhi to interrogate her.
Afterward, he leapt onto another boat, reaching out to grab one of the men.
Humph!
This man, looking like a scholar, was obviously the leader of the strapping men. Shot through the shoulder by the Six Meridian Divine Sword, he was still vigorous and lively. Now seeing Ding Ling charging over, knowing he couldn’t escape, he let out a shout, viciously thrusting a sword at Ding Ling.
This sword strike adopted a mutually fatal approach.
Ding Ling completely ignored the thrust of the sword, directly slapping at the sword’s edge, sending the sword flying, then grabbed the scholar’s shoulder, directly unleashing North Nether Divine Skill!
Whoosh!
A surge of exceptionally strong inner strength flooded into the Dantian, swiftly refined by North Nether Divine Skill.
Within just two blinks.
[Inner Power Value +90]
Another streak of North Nether True Qi was added.
Subsequently, three streaks merged, forming a drop of North Nether True Water.
[True Power Value: 13 points]
The True Power Value increased once again.
Unnoticed, Ding Ling’s strength increased by about a tenth, with the tenfold boost from Fusion Qi, it was equivalent to gaining the strength of an ordinary grandmaster!
He hadn’t anticipated that the inner strength of the person before him was so powerful, far exceeding that of the old woman, reaching the level of an ordinary first-class!
"Transformation Technique, who, who are you?!"
The scholar looked at Ding Ling with a face full of shock and horror.
