Chapter 529: Chapter 528: Duan Yanqing! South Sea Crocodile God
Swoosh swoosh!
Cold arrows rained down like a storm, 99% of which were aimed directly at Ding Ling’s head, while the rest shot towards Jiu Mozhi and others.
Ding Ling slightly raised his eyebrows, instantly releasing his Protective Gang Qi. The Vigorous Qi from the Star Shifting technique spread all over his body. The Dragon Capturing Skill, Crane Controlling Art, and Swallow Gathering Skill were all deployed simultaneously in mid-air. With just one grasp into the void, he forcibly grabbed hundreds of densely fired arrows.
Then, as if a giant hand was grabbing those arrows mid-air, Ding Ling exerted force, causing the arrows to all change direction!
"Go!"
Ding Ling swiftly flicked them away.
Under the infusion of Fusion Qi!
The Full Level Divine Skills of Dragon Capturing Skill, Crane Controlling Art, and Swallow Gathering Skill demonstrated their might together, swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Hundreds of arrows shot back into the dense forest at an even faster speed than before, thud thud! As the sound of arrows piercing flesh resonated, screams arose one after another, incessantly.
In an instant, it was unclear how many were killed or wounded.
With Spiral Nine Shadows, High Agility, and under the propulsion of Fusion Qi, Ding Ling moved like lightning or thunderbolt. In the void, he shifted up and down, left and right, capturing the exploding arrows in mid-air, and then flicking them back again, swoosh swoosh swoosh!
The arrows shot back across the sky like meteors again!
Ding Ling’s speed was extremely fast, and his reactions even faster!
Almost at the same moment the cold arrows were fired.
He launched a swift counterattack.
So much so that Jiu Mozhi and others hadn’t even reacted before realizing that the sky full of arrows had vanished into nothing.
"...!!"
Jiu Mozhi looked at Ding Ling as if he were a god.
Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing wore expressions of admiration.
Ling Yanqiu was full of reverence.
Swoosh swoosh!
Ding Ling took a step forward, charging into the dense forest like a cannonball. Swoosh swoosh swoosh, spreading his arms, he activated the Six Meridian Divine Sword! Streams of Sword Qi shot out from his fingertips.
Ding Ling’s vision was extraordinary, and with his incredible speed, every assassin and archer he passed fell onto the ground.
Ding Ling did not immediately kill them.
Instead choosing to severely wound them!
But for the sake of a quick victory.
Sometimes he couldn’t help it; a stream of Sword Qi would directly kill two or three people!
Whoosh whoosh!
Ding Ling swept through the assassins like the Xun Wind over the ground, and appeared before three people in an instant.
One dressed in a blue robe, bald-headed, with a hideous and ugly face, sat in a wheelchair;
Another was eight feet tall, with short mustaches and tiny eyes, holding a large pair of scissors;
The third was handsome and vigorous, wielding an exotic weapon resembling a snake.
All three were struck dumb.
Upon seeing Ding Ling charging towards them, the three shivered and shouted together.
The hideous bald one pointed at Ding Ling first, shooting a Finger Force from the One Yang Finger!
The eight-foot tall man with the mustaches ran desperately at Ding Ling, brandishing his scissors, intending to cut Ding Ling into pieces.
The handsome man, moving like a swimming snake and a loosed arrow, swung his sword as if it were a giant python capable of devouring everything.
All three exerted their power simultaneously.
Ding Ling took one look and roughly knew who two of them were.
Without thinking further.
He opened his arms towards them.
The Six Meridian Divine Sword instantly shot out!
Six streams of Sword Qi were both fast and urgent! Under Ding Ling’s control and propulsion of Fusion Qi, they resembled ribbons, like flashes of lightning, undefendable and sudden; one moment in front, the next over the head.
It was due to Ding Ling’s Spiral Nine Shadows and Cloud Smoke Flying Evasion Technique making his form unpredictable, shifting up and down!
With the assistance of his superior Lightweight Skill.
In less than an instant.
Bang bang bang!
Three crisp sounds.
Accompanied by three muffled groans, almost all three fell backward onto the ground.
Ding Ling, flashing swiftly, approached the bald man like a whirlwind with his Ripple Step, placing a hand on his shoulder and activating the North Nether Divine Skill.
Absorption Skill!
Transformation Skill!
Storage Skill!
In just two blinks of the eye.
The man’s surging Inner Strength was fully absorbed by Ding Ling.
[Inner Power Value +160]
This man was undoubtedly a master infinitely close to Initial Tier Innate!
His overwhelming Inner Strength surpassed people like Bao Butong and Fengg Bo’e several fold!
But there were impurities when refined by the North Nether Divine Skill.
Yet even so, an excess stream of North Nether True Qi was added to the Dantian.
Combined with previous accumulations.
The North Nether True Qi converged to form a drop of North Nether True Water.
[True Power Value 18 points]
With enhanced strength.
Ding Ling’s North Nether Divine Skill grew even stronger.
Quickly advancing to the scissor-wielding man’s side, ignoring the palm strikes coming at him, he placed a hand on the man’s shoulder, activating the North Nether Divine Skill!
Whoosh whoosh!
In just an instant.
[Inner Power Value +100]
This person was also a First-class Supreme expert.
Ding Ling swiftly moved to the other handsome man’s side, sticking close to him and using the North Nether Divine Skill.
This man, knowing he couldn’t escape, adopted a mutual destruction tactic, stabbing heavily towards Ding Ling.
Unfortunately, Ding Ling’s Star Shifting was fully active.
His sword was perfectly diverted elsewhere, and if Ding Ling hadn’t feared for his life, the reverse hit from this deflection would have killed him.
The man was severely injured by the Six Meridian Divine Sword. If struck again, how could he not die?
Ding Ling wasn’t afraid of him dying.
He was worried that if he died, his Inner Power Value would be wasted.
He approached him and placed his hand on him.
[Inner Power Value +110]
Two more streams of True Qi emerged in his Dantian.
Ding Ling let out a long breath.
Only at this moment.
Did he begin to scan the three people, and asked:
"Are you people from the Western Xia First-Grade Hall?"
The bald elder looked grim.
The handsome man was filled with despair and gloom.
The one holding scissors was quick to speak, saying:
"That’s right. Your grandfather here is the South Sea Crocodile God, Yue the Second, among the Four Great Evils!"
"So it really is you."
Ding Ling glanced at the bald man:
"You must be Duan Yanqing?"
No wonder the Inner Strength is so deep and powerful!
The bald man didn’t speak, just sighed repeatedly.
Just at this moment.
[Achievement Medal attained: Intimidate Duan Yanqing.]
[Achievement Medal attained: Intimidate Yue the Third]
[Notes: As two of the top figures among the Four Great Evils, both are fierce and ruthless, killing countless people. They came to kill you under Li Qiushui’s command, bringing with them ninety percent of the First-Grade Hall’s elite! Usually, with such a large deployment of elites, there would be no one they couldn’t kill. Yet today, they were swiftly crushed and swept away like fallen leaves in autumn by you! They were left in shock, disbelief, and horror, unable to comprehend the existence of such an extraordinary master as you!]
As expected, it’s Duan Yanqing.
And hearing this notification, Ding Ling also roughly inferred the whole story.
As the massacre at Lake Tai fermented.
Li Qingluo’s death would certainly be known to Li Qiushui!
And since Li Qingluo was Li Qiushui’s daughter, her rage and grief, seeking revenge for Li Qingluo, is only normal.
Given that...
Ding Ling casually struck Duan Yanqing down with a flick of the Canhe Finger.
Thinking:
"I might as well change my course and head to Western Xia then."
Ding Ling had been planning to head to the Northern Lands and shatter the Liao Kingdom. Also to visit Leigushan along the way.
But since Li Qiushui had acted first.
Ding Ling had the idea of changing his course.
One can only say.
Plans often can’t keep up with changes.
Most of the time, the plans he made.
Had to be altered because of certain events.
To this.
Ding Ling was indifferent.
Destroying Western Xia first has greater benefits.
He could also seize Li Qiushui’s Supreme Skill or capture her to trade her with the Heavenly Mountain Granny for Martial Arts?
Ding Ling was in thought.
He glanced at Yue the Third, pointed at the handsome man, and said:
"Who is he?"
Yue the Third seemed to know he was doomed and, closing his mouth, said nothing.
Ding Ling then looked at the handsome man.
The handsome man also said nothing.
Ding Ling shook his head, too lazy to ask again, and with two successive strikes of the Canhe Finger, he ended the two of them.
And just at this moment.
Jiu Mozhi, along with Mu Wanqing and others, arrived.
Jiu Mozhi glanced at the three, seemingly recognizing Duan Yanqing, and couldn’t help but be slightly surprised; he didn’t expect that such a master had organized nearly a thousand assassins, only to be handled so easily by Ding Ling.
Ding Ling, however, ignored Jiu Mozhi, his form like the wind as he flew towards the others he had killed.
North Nether Divine Skill operated continually.
[Inner Power Value +3]
[Inner Power Value +4]
...
Without a doubt.
These dying individuals were all elites who had cultivated Inner Power!
And each was much stronger than those Lake Tai ruffians.
Yet, in Ding Ling’s eyes, even first-class experts were merely beings he could kill with a single Canhe Finger, and they existed to be easily exterminated.
However strong, to Ding Ling, they were merely experience bags.
[Inner Power Value +3]
[Inner Power Value +2]
...
A full thousand people.
Were mostly killed by the Six Meridian Divine Sword.
The power of the Six Meridian Divine Sword was too strong, and generally, people couldn’t withstand it; even if they could, they wouldn’t last long.
In the end, Ding Ling’s gains.
[Inner Power Value +423]
Many didn’t even hold on until Ding Ling arrived to absorb their inner strength and died beforehand.
