Chapter 541: Chapter 536: Heavenly Mountain Granny! All Divine Skills at Full Level
These cave masters and island masters attacked the mountain.
Much like turtles in a jar.
They were entirely broken up by the Nine Celestial Nine Divisions, who had already laid an ambush. Some managed to escape, but many were caught.
As for these people.
Heavenly Mountain Granny did not say much, only said "kill them"!
Hence, the scenes unfolded as they are now.
No matter how the island masters begged for mercy, the Nine Celestial Nine Divisions ignored them. With a sword swing, heads fell to the ground one after another.
Ding Ling only watched for a while, then turned his body, utilizing Spiral Nine Shadows and Cloud Smoke Flying Evasion Technique, ascending several dozen feet, flying away like a gust of Xun Wind.
His speed was incredibly fast, like thunder and lightning, and amidst the swishing sounds, he advanced more than a hundred feet. Ordinary people could hardly detect his figure, only hearing a wind sound and upon looking around, failing to see anyone, thinking it was an illusion or just the sound of the wind.
Thus, as Ding Ling advanced unknowingly, he arrived deep within the Lingjiu Palace and saw a young girl practicing martial arts in a courtyard.
This young girl had delicate and pretty features and a petite figure.
Though she seemed young, she was naturally gifted with beauty and elegance, akin to a painting; if not flawed in growth, she would certainly become a peerless beauty in the future.
"Senior Sister."
Li Qiushui couldn’t help but softly call out.
As she walked along, gripped by Ding Ling, she dared not speak much. Now, upon seeing this young girl and recognizing it was Heavenly Mountain Granny, she couldn’t resist, realizing that Heavenly Mountain Granny had exhausted her power and was now recovering. If she struck now, Heavenly Mountain Granny would surely die.
But realizing she was just a sacrificial pawn in Ding Ling’s grasp, possibly to be slaughtered at any moment, depression seized her heart, and the previously surging kill intention faded away.
"Hmm?!
Heavenly Mountain Granny abruptly opened her eyes, revealing a pair akin to glass jade.
She surveyed her surroundings, her gaze swiftly freezing on Li Qiushui. Seeing it was indeed her nemesis Li Qiushui, she was startled, a flash of fear passing through her eyes; however, seeing Li Qiushui’s indifferent and calm demeanor, bewildered and shaken, her gaze involuntarily turned to Ding Ling, examining him with increasing caution:
"This young brother must be the current Emperor of Western Xia, Ding Ling?"
Her voice was hoarse and old, akin to rough paper being vigorously scraped against iron, sounding quite grating and unpleasant.
Ding Ling, unaware, simply nodded and said:
"You must be the Palace Master of Lingjiu Palace, Heavenly Mountain Granny."
"Exactly."
Heavenly Mountain Granny took a deep breath and stood up.
Despite being no taller than five feet, standing before the tall and handsome Ding Ling, she resembled a child.
Yet, with her aura fully unleashed, a fierce and violent energy swirled around her, making her appear as if she were an unparalleled Venerable!
She lifted her head to look at Ding Ling and said:
"I am Heavenly Mountain Granny. Why have you come, Ding Ling?"
"You already know, don’t you?"
Ding Ling said:
"I sent you a message a long time ago."
"So you’re here now to exchange that wretch Li Qiushui with me for true martial arts?"
"What do you think?"
"Alright."
Heavenly Mountain Granny hesitated for only a few breaths before agreeing:
"Once I recover all my power, I will teach you my unique Supreme Skill."
"How long will it take?"
"Eighty days."
"..."
Ding Ling gazed deeply at Heavenly Mountain Granny, shook his head, and said:
"Grandma Tong, honest people don’t speak evasively. I have come this time with sincerity. If you play games with me, there’s no need for further discussion."
Heavenly Mountain Granny’s heart tightened; her intention was to buy time, but Ding Ling saw through it instantly, making her laugh heartily:
"I’m afraid that if I teach you true martial arts, you’ll break your promise and crush me with a palm."
She boldly circled around, her eyes blazing as she looked at Ding Ling:
"You can see my current power deficiency, unable to withstand even a casual move from you."
"Even if you fully recover your power, you can’t withstand even one move from him."
Li Qiushui couldn’t contain herself, sneering:
"Senior sister, your power at Great Perfection may be greater than mine, but it is unquestionably far inferior to Hero Ding. The gap between you two is a Celestial Abyss.
In my view, it’s better for you to teach Hero Ding the Divine Skill now to avoid angering Hero Ding, who might really slap you to death."
"Haha..."
Heavenly Mountain Granny laughed thrice, her face suddenly dark, she swept a glance at Li Qiushui, and sneered:
"You wretch wish me dead; I simply won’t heed you or believe you."
"It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe me."
Li Qiushui retorted mockingly:
"But Hero Ding’s Divine Skill is unparalleled in the world, undeniably real. If you dare to confront Hero Ding head-on, you are courting death."
"Wretch. There is no place for you to speak here."
Heavenly Mountain Granny coldly glared at Li Qiushui:
"You yourself are a prisoner, yet still have the nerve to argue with me here? Who gives you the courage and boldness?"
Li Qiushui was rendered speechless.
Ding Ling frowned, saying:
"Since Grandma Tong is unwilling to cooperate, then forget it."
After speaking, Ding Ling kicked the ground, his whole body soaring several dozen feet, his figure splitting then merging in midair, transforming into nine figures, which vanished in the blink of an eye.
He too disappeared without a trace.
"Such masterful Lightness Skill, such speed!"
Heavenly Mountain Granny was shaken, employing Lightweight Skill to leap up, surveying all around, but where could she find Ding Ling’s figure?
