Chapter 523: Chapter 522: Annihilation
The North Nether True Qi transformed by the North Nether Divine Skill naturally has varying amounts.
[True Power Value: 15 points]
After absorbing Feng Bo’e’s inner strength, unexpectedly, another stream of North Nether True Qi emerged, forming a unity of three, adding a point of North Nether True Water!
True Power Value increased once again!
Ding Ling copied the technique meticulously.
He swiftly moved to other small boats and began to rapidly absorb using the North Nether Divine Skill.
[Inner Power Value +1]
[Inner Power Value +2]
[Inner Power Value +1]
...
In just a short moment.
Ding Ling’s figure moved unpredictably, sometimes forward, sometimes backward, sometimes left, sometimes right, truly like a ghostly illusion, at times becoming too fast for the naked eye!
Feng Bo’e was dumbfounded.
He could clearly sense Ding Ling’s aura continuously rising.
"This, this is not, not the Transformation Technique?!"
"It seems it can absorb others’ inner strength for one’s own use?!"
"What kind of divine skill is this?! How can there be such a miraculous technique under heaven?!"
Feng Bo’e gasped in shock, his gaze toward Ding Ling changing again and again.
At this moment, he seemed to suddenly realize why Ding Ling, though young, possessed such deep and overwhelming inner power!
With such a divine skill.
Even a pig could become an absolute expert!
But he was wrong; Ding Ling’s power did not have much to do with one North Nether Divine Skill.
[Inner Power Value +180]
Many people have died.
Even though Ding Ling had controlled it very well.
However, with his power continuously rising, the Six Meridian Divine Sword’s might grew stronger, often with one sword shot out, it’s hard to say how many would be wounded or die!
Some of the injured, even if they could hold out for a while, probably wouldn’t last long.
This is also the reason why Ding Ling speeds up absorbing their inner strength.
If he doesn’t absorb.
These people probably wouldn’t last long before dying.
The power of the Six Meridian Divine Sword is too great; once it enters the body, strands of sword qi continually roam around a person’s wounds, causing them to rush headlong towards Death God’s territory.
This point Ding Ling couldn’t help.
He’s already done the best he could to control the Six Meridian Divine Sword.
Can only say once the Six Meridian Divine Sword emerges!
Under his Grandmaster level power’s activation, it truly sweeps apart all in its path, leaving few alive.
Ding Ling also thought of using other techniques to kill the enemy.
But there were seven to eight hundred of them.
Using other methods to kill would be inefficient.
Rely on Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?
Probably one palm down.
A whole boat of people would be knocked into the lake!
Then, heavily injured, they’d all sink to the lake bottom; Ding Ling couldn’t possibly go down one by one to absorb inner strength, could he?
Not to mention the likelihood is low.
Even if he went to the lake’s bottom, he’d probably encounter corpses. Heavily injured, what good outcome would there be from sinking into the lake?
Therefore, Ding Ling uses the Six Meridian Divine Sword to kill or wound the enemy.
Directly heavily injuring them on the boat, unable to move!
Convenient, fast, and swift!
It’s truly like a lawnmower!
[Achievement Medal Acquired: Intimidation of Feng Bo’e]
Upon hearing the notification sound.
Ding Ling’s steps slightly paused, then turned back, executed a Shaoze Sword, ended Feng Bo’e, grabbed Mrs. Yan and moved south of Lake Tai.
His speed was like the wind and lightning, as his strength soared, his Ripple Step and Cloud Smoke Flying Evasion Technique came into play, even faster and swifter, his speed at least improved by one or two percent!
An improvement of one or two percent is no small matter.
Ding Ling was already extremely fast; now it’s just a moment, under Mrs. Yan’s guide, he found Bao Butong’s fleet.
This fleet’s numbers were about the same as before.
Leading them was Bao Butong, a man with a stubborn expression, over seven feet tall, slightly chubby body.
Upon seeing Mrs. Yan, and recalling the signal flares sent earlier from afar, he couldn’t help but feel a jolt, pondered a possibility, and his heart surged with killing intent, couldn’t help but shouting loudly:
"Who goes there!"
"Your killer!"
Ding Ling’s voice was powerful, akin to the tremor of swords clanging, filled with a voice of iron-blooded slaughter.
"Fire arrows!"
Bao Butong’s pupils shrank, he no longer said ’Not True, Not True,’ gave a loud shout, and from all directions his men drew bows, shooting arrows toward Ding Ling’s direction furiously.
In an instant, arrows rained down!
Completely enveloping Ding Ling; with this situation, how could Ding Ling not die?
Bao Butong had just relaxed.
But in the next moment.
He couldn’t help but his pupils shrinking.
Only to see Mrs. Yan already shot into a sieve, but Ding Ling remained unscathed, and couldn’t help but feel a shock in his heart, and shouted angrily:
"Keep shooting! Don’t stop!"
Ding Ling discarded Mrs. Yan’s corpse, having found everyone, Mrs. Yan was no longer needed, so he straightforwardly grabbed her to block a wave of arrow rain.
Now the second wave of arrow rain was about to arrive, Ding Ling chose to ignore it, advancing rapidly, speed unparalleled, ding, ding, dang, dang!
Arrows struck his body, making crisp sounds, unable to break his Gang Qi Defense Shield.
Frightened Bao Butong cried out, ’Are you human or ghost!’
In his view, how could people in the world possibly ignore the rain of arrows! What a shocking martial arts cultivation this is!
With a burst of speed, under the stimulation of Fusion Qi, Ding Ling’s figure became indistinct, as if he turned into a flash of lightning and rushed to Bao Butong’s front. Then, with a twist of his figure, he fiercely grabbed Bao’s shoulder.
North Nether Divine Skill!
Absorption Skill! Transformation Skill! Storage Skill!
It was just a moment.
[Inner Power Value +93]
[True Power Value 16 points.]
In just a moment, a strand of North Nether True Qi emerged again, thus three merged into one drop of North Nether True Water, and the True Power Value naturally rose again!
Clank! Clank! Clank!
After the boost in strength.
Ding Ling spread his two palms.
Right hand Shaoshang Sword, Shangyang Sword, Zhongchong Sword, Guanchong Sword, Shaoshong Sword, left hand Shaoze Sword!
Six swords manifested together!
Wherever they passed.
One by one, the sturdy ruffians toppled over on the boat.
Screams, muffled groans, and howls were unending.
Some even attempted to jump into the water to escape for their lives.
But no matter how fast they were.
They were not faster than Ding Ling’s Six Meridian Divine Sword.
Indeed, it felt like thunder, one moment they were ready to jump, the next, they were struck down heavily injured onto the boat by the Six Meridian Divine Sword, almost unable to move!
He was extraordinarily efficient at killing and injuring enemies, a rarity in the world.
Bao Butong was dumbstruck, momentarily forgetting the fact that his inner strength had been completely absorbed.
He possessed high skill.
Yet, Ding Ling’s skill far surpassed his by fifty times, a hundred times even?
Especially with the current enhancement of skill, his ghostly figure was difficult to see with the naked eye, Bao Butong even merely struck, Ding Ling had already circled behind him, grabbed his shoulder, and drained his inner strength!
So fast it was impossible to react.
Puff! Puff!
Sword Qi filled the skies, dazzling and blinding!
After a short while, the sword Qi stopped, then Bao Butong saw Ding Ling flying over each small boat, reaching out to touch one person after another who was on the brink of death from the estate.
And as Ding Ling continuously made contact, his aura continuously surged and grew.
Bao Butong looked amazed, muttering to himself:
’What is this divine skill?! It can absorb others’ power for oneself?!’
Puff!
A strand of sword Qi suddenly shot across the air, directly hitting Bao Butong’s forehead, and Bao fell dead on the boat instantly.
At the time of death.
He was unwilling and regretful!
Such a formidable foe!
Why provoke him?!
Moreover, attempting to ambush him, which was simply foolish beyond belief!
But the great mistake was already made, and it couldn’t be changed!
[Inner Power Value +150]
[Achievement Medal Obtained: Intimidating Bao Butong.]
Adding to the previous Inner Power Value.
Two more strands of North Nether True Qi emerged in Ding Ling’s Dantian.
Just one more, and he could condense another drop of North Nether True Water.
Progressing at such a speed.
It’s just like riding a rocket.
"If this continues, perhaps in not long, I might reach the realm of Grandmaster Level."
Ding Ling pondered.
This was beyond his expectations.
He originally thought he would need to overwhelm a country, gain a large amount of Great Medicine, only then he could cultivate to the Grandmaster Level.
Now it seems.
With North Nether Divine Skill, he might be able to reach the Grandmaster Level much earlier.
"Brother Ding!"
Duan Yu’s voice came, and Ding Ling looked in the direction, seeing Duan Yu and his party already sailing towards him, he then leaped, soaring tens of zhang, lightly landing on the bow of the ship:
"It’s resolved. Let’s continue the journey."
"...!!!"
Jiu Mozhi scanned the scene, his heart trembling, speechless, just clasped his hands together, and respectfully said:
"Hero Ding, your divine skill is unrivaled. I, a humble monk, am truly in awe! If there’s anything you need of me, Hero Ding, please speak, I will exert my full effort!"
Ding Ling nodded unfazed, and immediately the party continued their journey.
Along the way, witnessing the tragic state of Bao Butong and others.
Duan Yu felt a sense of unease, for Ding Ling’s methods, he unconsciously developed a sense of awe, making him less inclined to joke around casually. He never thought that Brother Ding, who usually seemed so amicable, turned out to be so decisive and formidable in battle! It really frightened him!
However, Ling Yanqiu admired Ding Ling greatly. She understood the principle that hesitation harms oneself and others. To enemies, naturally, decisive and lethal actions are necessary.
As for Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling, they didn’t think much of it; to them, Ding Ling’s safety was the ultimate good. Those who wanted to kill them naturally deserved death, Ding Ling was avenging them, so how could they take the side of outsiders?
...
...
The waters of Lake Tai were clear.
Yet, with the death of thousands.
Blood soaked into the wooden boats, flowed into Lake Tai, and the original lake gradually turned scarlet.
Many players and natives who inadvertently witnessed this scene lost their color.
Some turned their boats around and fled, some moved forward to investigate...
Human behaviors varied greatly, in numerous ways.
But undeniably, as news spread of Ding Ling’s slaughter across Lake Tai, the day Ding Ling’s name shook the world was not far off.
