Chapter 521: Chapter 520: Murong Fu’s Four Great Generals
Ding Ling paid no attention to the scholar.
Instead, he flew to other boats, utilizing the North Nether Divine Skill to absorb the inner strength of others.
[Inner Power Value +1]
[Inner Power Value +2]
[Inner Power Value +1]
...
Seven or eight hundred people, more than half of them died.
The rest were also on the brink of death.
Being absorbed by Ding Ling like this!
Those whose inner strength was exhausted instantly died in large numbers.
But unfortunately.
The inner power heart method of these people was even worse than that of the old woman.
Although quite a few had reached the level of third-rate.
Their inner power values only increased by about 5 points.
And the vast majority didn’t even reach third-rate!
Only able to contribute 1 point. 2 points.
But still better than nothing.
After going through a few hundred people.
[Inner Power Value +226]
In an instant, two more strands of North Nether True Qi were added to the Dantian.
Another strand could soon gather into a drop of North Nether True Water.
This situation.
Was faster than taking Great Medicine.
Ding Ling sighed secretly: It truly deserves to be the full-level North Nether Divine Skill! Absolutely remarkable!
And precisely because it was at full level.
The speed of refinement was so fast that it took less than a moment to resolve one! And there were no side effects!
Such divine skill is comparable to a cheat device!
And these hundreds of people had actually all practiced inner power heart methods.
It was clear they were not ordinary bandits.
Ding Ling looked at the scholar:
"Who are you?"
"Hmph!"
The scholar’s inner strength had completely vanished, his heart as dead as ashes. Hearing Ding Ling’s question, he snorted coldly and said:
"Grandfather by name or sitting does not change name! Manor Master of Chixia Manor, Gongye Qian!"
"One of the four great generals of Gusu Murong?"
"That’s right!"
"Why do you want to kill me?"
"You killed people from Mantuo Manor. I was formally invited by Madam Wang to assist in the fight, how could I sit idly by?!"
"Li Qingluo?"
"Hmph."
Gongye Qian snorted and said:
"Madam Wang’s Mantuo Manor and our Canhe Manor are closely allied, we should look out for and help each other. It’s no big deal that you defeated my Chixia Manor. But under my Canhe Manor there are three more Manor Masters, and under the command of our two manors, there are countless spies and foot soldiers. Our Patriarch Murong Fu is even a renowned figure in the Jianghu!
What you do to me now, don’t expect a good outcome."
"Do you not know that Murong Bo, Murong Fu are being hunted down by someone?"
"..."
Gongye Qian was speechless. Suddenly realizing this, his face turned even more ghastly and his stance appeared withered!
He would say everything.
Seeing that the old woman could definitely not withstand torture, he decided to be straightforward and reveal everything, hoping the opponent would retreat in the face of difficulties.
But now it seems, his hopes are small.
Ding Ling shook his head, casually landed a palm strike, slap!
It directly hit Gongye Qian’s heart, causing it to collapse inward, and he died on the spot.
Having intended to kill Ding Ling.
Why would Ding Ling leave any chance?
Furthermore, since they were already at odds, there was absolutely no reason for Ding Ling to stop and leave!
[Achievement Medal obtained: Intimidate Gongye Qian.]
[Annotation: Gongye Qian was invited by Madam Wang to kill. He was confident, but unexpectedly encountered such an extraordinary expert as you. In shock and disbelief, he died in confusion, regret, and remorse!]
[Achievement Medal obtained: Intimidate Mrs. Yan.]
...
Another 3 Achievement Medals were collected.
So many people.
Yet only 3 met the requirements for Achievement Medals.
Ding Ling didn’t think much about it, jumped onto the boat, glanced at the old woman, and asked:
"Did you confess?"
"All confessed."
Jiu Mozhi became increasingly respectful to Ding Ling, having personally witnessed Ding Ling’s great display of divine techniques, his heart was overturned, and he was profoundly impressed, admiring him to the utmost. He coveted Ding Ling’s divine skills more and more, but alas, the gap between them was too large, he was completely no match for Ding Ling, so he could only hope to be diligent and conscientious enough to earn Ding Ling’s approval.
And then, seeing him ’pitiful’ and ’capable’, reward him with one or two supreme techniques. That would be excellent.
"Let’s hear it."
Jiu Mozhi immediately spoke up.
After Ding Ling listened, she straightforwardly had the old woman lead the way to find the forces of the other three great manors.
This was because all three great manors were preparing an ambush against Ding Ling.
Evidently.
This time, Madam Wang joined forces with Canhe Manor to set up a Celestial Net and Earth Net trap for Ding Ling.
Surrounded on all sides.
No matter which direction Ding Ling chose, she would be attacked by seven to eight hundred divine archers.
And this was on the lake.
Ding Ling had nowhere to run or hide; no matter how formidable her martial prowess, she would definitely be killed!
That was their belief.
After all, in their understanding, no matter how strong a person is, they couldn’t defend against such a massive number of divine arrows on the lake!
"I’ll go with her alone. If you follow, remember to keep your distance."
Ding Ling grabbed the old woman and directly stepped onto the waves, moving like the wind or electricity, and in the blink of an eye, disappeared into a green forest-covered corner.
Jiu Mozhi sighed, acknowledging:
"Such lightweight skill is truly rare in the world. I wonder if Hero Ding would teach it to this humble monk?"
He looked at Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing, smiling to ingratiate:
"Ladies Madam Ding. I hope you can put in a good word for this monk in front of Hero Ding."
He began to change his tone, calling Ding Hero instead.
This shows the impact of the lake battle.
The immense impact it had on Jiu Mozhi!
It made him realize for the first time that a person could be so powerful as to ignore the barrage of arrows! Able to crush thousands of troops!
His heart was filled with feverish excitement!
Duan Yu, however, was somewhat pale, and after reciting the Rebirth Spell several times for the dead, he still felt it was too brutal and cruel.
Ling Yanqiu said:
"They want to kill you. If you don’t kill them, likely you, I, Miss Zhong, and Miss Mu will all die. Do you want us to die?"
"..."
Duan Yu, after all, was not an inexperienced novice in Jianghu.
During this time traveling with Ding Ling,
he had broadened his horizons considerably.
He was no longer as pedantic and stubborn as at the start.
He just thought:
"This Jianghu is filled with incessant fighting. If I don’t learn some divine skills to protect myself, if someone wants to harm my Immortal Sister in the future, wouldn’t I just be standing by helplessly?"
Duan Yu was quite remarkable.
No matter what he did or said, he could quickly link it back to his Immortal Sister.
To call him an ’infatuated child’ would be an understatement!
...
...
Ding Ling arrived west of Lake Tai.
Here, too, there were a hundred small boats lined up across the lake.
The leading man was tall and burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, an imposing eight-foot Great Han. He held a large knife, his eyes coldly watching ahead. When he suddenly saw Ding Ling coming with the old woman, he was surprised, and upon seeing the old woman was Mrs. Yan from Mantuo Manor, his shock increased.
He instantly realized that Gongye Qian’s ambush plan must have failed.
For a moment.
He was both saddened and enraged:
"Shoot the arrows!"
He roared, pointing at Ding Ling:
"Shoot him dead!"
He didn’t care for Mrs. Yan’s life anymore.
In the man’s eyes, Mrs. Yan had betrayed them, so she no longer needed to exist!
She deserved to be eliminated!
Whiz, whiz!
With the man’s order, the sound of bowstrings twanged, turning into a rain of arrows pouring down on Ding Ling. Ding Ling’s gang qi protected him, his hands blocking left and right.
However, not a single arrow could break his defense.
His palm power shattered many arrows, even sending some flying back.
Whiz!
Ding Ling charged forward relentlessly, the arrow rain unable to hinder his steps at all!
The man was shocked and couldn’t help but roar in anger:
"Shoot again!"
Whiz, whiz!
Yet, just as the second wave of arrows shot out, Ding Ling’s speed suddenly surged, boom! Driven by fusion qi, his speed was like a ghost, flashing like lightning, nine figures splitting and merging, changing unpredictably in the void, making it difficult for ordinary people to distinguish which figure was real and which was fake!
Amidst this ever-changing scene, as everyone looked on in bewildered shock,
Ding Ling had already leaped onto a boat, and then, opening his right hand, unleashed the Six Meridian Divine Sword!
The mighty and strong Shaoshang Sword! The skillful and flexible Shangyang Sword! The open and grand Zhongchong Sword! The archaic and ponderous Guanchong Sword! The light and swift Shaoshong Sword!
Were all unleashed by Ding Ling in one breath.
As he opened his right hand, five Sword Qi beams shot out from his fingertips.
Where the Sword Qi passed.
Everything was pierced, destroyed, shattered!
