Chapter 578: Chapter 567: Hero King Swordsmanship Full Level
"Are you lying to me?"
Ding Ling looked at Lü Yi expressionlessly and said indifferently:
"I have not seen your Hero King Swordsmanship from the Hero Prince’s Mansion."
"That is an ancestral secret technique."
Lü Yi sweated on his forehead:
"Cannot be taught without permission."
Ding Ling frowned and directly struck out a palm in the air, hitting the acupoint on Lü Yi’s body.
In an instant, it dispersed the Celestial Mountain Six Yang Palm power that had been previously unleashed.
The next second.
Lü Yi was again swallowed and overwhelmed by the sensation of being eaten alive by a million ants. He involuntarily rolled to the ground, starting to scratch himself madly, regardless of the blood oozing out, only incessantly screaming and begging for mercy.
Lü Lian beside him watched with cold sweat, looking at Ding Ling, his heart shattered, his legs went weak, and he fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowing:
"Hero, hero, I-I know where the Hero King Swordsmanship is hidden. I can tell you."
Lü Yi, now completely tormented by pain, couldn’t stop Lü Lian from leading Ding Ling out of the library.
He wanted to get up and chase.
But was tortured to the point where he couldn’t circulate his inner strength, only frantically scratching himself to alleviate pain, but ironically, the more he scratched the Life and Death Talisman, the more unbearable it became in the end.
Lü Yi’s screams grew louder and louder.
It could be said.
In the creation of the Life and Death Talisman, Ding Ling had reached the Transformation Realm, far beyond Heavenly Mountain Granny Wu Xingyun and others. Therefore, his Life and Death Talisman, unless a true supreme master or someone with extremely firm will, or someone with a special technique to restrain the Life and Death Talisman, if hit, would be worse than death.
Lü Lian, however, grew more fearful and terrified as he heard, not daring to delay, and under Ding Ling’s urging, walked faster and faster.
Soon.
They arrived at a bedroom.
After several explorations.
They activated a mechanism.
A key was ejected from the corner on one side of the bedroom.
Lü Lian used the key to open a small door at the back of the bed in the bedroom.
This small door was hidden by the bed.
Ordinary people entering wouldn’t be able to see it.
Even Ding Ling with top-level mechanism skills and secret techniques could overlook this point if not careful.
After opening the door.
Lü Lian walked in.
Ding Ling followed closely behind, entered the inner room, glanced around, and saw that this place resembled an underground space. All sides except for a small door were closed.
Inside, there were many gold and silver treasures, secret manuals, treasure manuals, divine weapons, and sharp tools.
Ding Ling chuckled.
Using the Dragon Capturing Skill, he plucked a treasure sword placed on a rack, drew it casually, clang! Carved on it were three characters ’Hero King Sword’!
"This is the ancestral treasure sword! Back then, the ancestor relied on it to shock the world."
Ding Ling used treasure appraising skills, materials identification skills, forging skills, etc., to finely sense it and found that this Hero King Sword was no less than the Giant Que Sword, an unparalleled treasure sword, with extremely special and extraordinary material, extremely tenacious in texture. Ding Ling flicked his finger, hearing the crisp sound of ding-ding-dang-dang, the sword bounced, but remained unscathed.
To know that at Ding Ling’s current level of cultivation, ordinary divine weapons would break easily with a single flick, this divine weapon remained unscathed, eligible to be classified among top-notch divine weapons.
Ding Ling casually carried it on his back.
The Giant Que Sword was too heavy and wide, inconvenient to carry, while the Hero King Sword, no less than the Giant Que Sword, was convenient to carry.
Lü Lian’s eyelids twitched madly upon seeing this, his face bitter, yet not daring to resist much, only obediently standing to the side.
Ding Ling looked at the other divine weapons again, although still decent, were far inferior to the Hero King Sword, only considered ordinary divine weapons, unworthy in Ding Ling’s eyes, hence he didn’t take them.
Instead, he turned and grabbed a box of gold, putting it into his storage pouch.
Walking the Jianghu, gold and silver are indispensable, it’s wise to be prepared.
Ding Ling approached a bookshelf, glanced over, only a mere four or five secret manuals were there.
He picked up the first one.
The cover had four striking characters: "Hero King Swordsmanship"!
Ding Ling quickly flipped through it.
After finishing it.
In an instant.
[Hero King Swordsmanship Full Level]
[Strength +0.2]
[Agility +0.2]
[Constitution +0.1]
Within the blink of an eye, Ding Ling completely grasped the profoundness of this sword technique.
Far superior to the Golden Snake Swordsmanship, incomparable to some top-notch sword techniques.
Once full level, activating the sword technique would naturally generate an overwhelming surge of heroic aura around him, which, combined with the sword technique, would make the sword righteous, unrivaled, and sharper.
Having learned this sword technique.
Ding Ling picked up the second secret manual to read.
Rustle!
Reading ten lines at a glance.
Finished quickly.
[Hero King Heart Method Full Level]
[Inner Power Value +100]
Wooosh!
The surging spiritual mechanism and primordial qi came rushing in, engulfing Ding Ling completely.
The Eternal Youth Technique was activated, instantly refining this vast amount of primordial qi, and another strand of Longevity True Qi appeared within the dantian.
Previously, the Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill at full level added three strands.
Making the True Power Value reach 22 points.
Now with one more strand, adding two more will increase the True Power Value again.
"...!!"
Lü Lian was utterly dumbfounded. Previously, he didn’t understand what Ding Ling was doing, but when Ding Ling finished reading the second secret manual, and the spiritual mechanism and primordial qi flooded over, engulfing Ding Ling, he instantly realized that Ding Ling must have mastered and comprehended this top-level heart technique.
He couldn’t help but be stunned. Unbelievable that such a genius existed in the world! At the same time, he understood why Ding Ling, so young, possessed such unfathomable cultivation, capable of easily subduing the entire Hero Prince’s Mansion!
"The Hero King Heart Method combined with Hero King Swordsmanship is indeed not weaker than the Nine Yin Scripture."
Ding Ling was moved!
At the same time, he realized why the Hero Prince’s Mansion could stand for so many years without falling!
With such supreme skills handed down through generations, if cultivated well, the future prospects are limitless.
It seems this Hero King was surely a person at the Peak of Innate or Grandmaster Level!
Ding Ling contemplated in his heart and continued reading.
The following three secret manuals were also first-class secret manuals.
Ding Ling finished reading all to full level.
[Strength +0.3]
[Agility +0.3]
[Constitution +0.3]
Compared to Hero King Swordsmanship, these three first-class secret manuals were much inferior.
But they still provided some assistance in enhancing Ding Ling’s strength.
However, because Ding Ling’s strength due to the full level of Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill was already increasing constantly.
Now it increased so much all of a sudden.
He immediately felt hungry again.
He asked Lü Lian to bring some superior medicinal wine and good tea.
Lü Lian, a bit afraid of Ding Ling, awkwardly said:
"Hero, hero, you’ve already drunk all the medicinal wine and good tea."
"Can’t you go to the city’s pharmacy to buy some herbs and medicinal wine?"
Ding Ling frowned.
Lü Lian quickly realized and hurriedly complied.
Ding Ling casually reached into the void, grabbing a dozen thin ice shards, then with a flick of his hand, the ice shards shot into Lü Lian’s body like flowing light.
Lü Lian was terrified, his brain started feeling tied up, his legs went weak, and he knelt back down on the ground again:
"Hero, hero, hero..."
"Rest assured, as long as you work well for me, this Life and Death Talisman won’t activate within a year, or else a year later, you will be better off dead than alive."
"I will certainly devote myself wholeheartedly to working for the hero! Even if it means going through fire and ice, I am willing."
"Heh."
Ding Ling chuckled lightly, noncommittally saying:
"Go on. I’ll wait for you in the library."
Ding Ling went to the library and used the palm power of the Celestial Mountain Six Yang Palm to temporarily halt the effect of the Life and Death Talisman on Lü Yi.
Lü Yi no longer felt pain, in an instant, it was like he came back to life, he looked at Ding Ling with both dread and trepidation, saying:
"Hero, hero, kill or skin, I’ll comply, why torture me like this?"
"Without letting you see the power of the Life and Death Talisman, how would you know fear?"
Ding Ling coldly eyed Lü Yi:
"I want your Hero Prince’s Mansion to follow my orders. Become my spy, gather information and collect great medicines and secret manuals for me, can you do that?"
"But..."
Lü Yi instinctively replied:
"I have already submitted to the World Association."
"Then so be it."
Ding Ling was about to disperse the palm power of the Celestial Mountain Six Yang Palm on Lü Yi when Lü Yi quickly said:
"I am willing to submit to the hero! In the future, I will only follow the hero’s commands."
’Very well.’
Ding Ling casually said:
"The palm power I left in your body can at most ensure the Life and Death Talisman doesn’t activate for a year. After a year, come find me voluntarily. To avoid the pain and death upon activation."
Lü Yi’s scalp tingled as he hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Once Lü Lian returned, Ding Ling drank dozens of jars of medicinal wine, and ingested sixty to seventy great medicines, only then did he feel much better.
Then.
He didn’t delay any longer.
Taking the map given by Lü Yi, he was about to leave the territory of Hero Prince’s Mansion and head to the Le Shan Giant Buddha.
Before departing.
Lü Yi, with an uneasy face, reported to Ding Ling about one matter:
"To curry favor with Xiong Ba, I sent information via carrier pigeon about master having a storage pouch to a World Association outpost a hundred miles away. If nothing unexpected happens, the World Association’s forces should be arriving soon."
