Chapter 1003: Lu Ding Returns, One Kick Severely Injures Yu Liuli! |
.......
The battle was on the verge of erupting.
Both sides charged at each other.
Although Hou Dehai's cultivation level was inferior to Yu Liuli's.
But right now, he had already gone berserk, completely disregarding his own life, under the influence of his Inner Demons.
Only one thought remained in Hou Dehai's mind: kill, kill, kill, kill, kill! Slay this Wuwang demon before him, tear him into a thousand pieces, and avenge Qian Jin!!!!!!!
The fight had begun.
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
Dense explosive sounds rang out.
Don't ask how Qian Jin knew someone was installing arrays on the other side.
If you asked, it was because of the Bureau Chief's authority — he could freely access the surveillance feeds of the entire construction site.
A bunch of rustic fools from Wuwang still hadn't found the high-tech cameras brought from Hanjing.
Their every move had been captured crystal clear!
That was the power of technology.
Now, the Wuwang demons under Yu Liuli who had been installing arrays on that side had been slaughtered clean by the gifted investigators who had followed Lu Ding from Hanjing.
The explosion sounds drew these people over.
When they arrived and saw Qian Jin's corpse, Shen Qixue who — despite having all four limbs shattered — was still forcing back tears to revive Yu Miaoyin, and Hou Dehai exchanging wounds with Yu Liuli in a desperate battle of mutual destruction...
These investigators' rage surged to their heads.
Surround and attack!!!!!!
Death, for every investigator, was a warning they had accepted in advance.
Every single one of them was prepared. An investigator's job was to fight demons, demonic cultivators, and rebellious factions.
Life and death were routine.
They wouldn't let a colleague's death affect their fighting spirit.
They understood only one thing.
Those who had left had died a noble sacrifice.
And those who were still alive were responsible for carrying out brutal revenge!
Blood debts must be repaid with blood!!!
The shockwaves of battle grew increasingly terrifying.
Yu Liuli, who had been completely suppressing Hou Dehai from the start, gradually found herself exhausted from dealing with the encirclement of the other investigators and Hou Dehai, slowly accumulating injuries on her body.
Meanwhile.
Not too far from the new city.
Lu Ding was racing forward at full speed. He didn't have any so-called bad premonition rising in his heart.
What he had instead was a message from Fu Xinghe.
Just a single sentence.
[Brother Lu, Director Qian has been killed in action]
Seeing this message, a smile appeared on Lu Ding's face.
Why should he be sad?
This was the best path left for Old Qian.
It was also the most dignified way for him to go.
At this moment, Lu Ding recalled the promise he had made to Qian Jin back then.
That he would personally carry his coffin and send him off.
Thinking of this, the smile on Lu Ding's face slowly faded.
He sent a message back.
[Who killed him? Has Old Qian's body been retrieved?]
[Fu Xinghe: Killed by someone from Wuwang. The body hasn't been retrieved yet. It's at the Path of Dry Bones 749 reconstruction site. Bureau Chief Hou and a group of investigators are currently besieging the killer.]
After that, Fu Xinghe sent a video.
After watching it, Lu Ding immediately pushed his speed to the absolute limit.
Wuwang.
Wuwang again.
Lu Ding hadn't expected that the moment he stepped out, such a huge incident would happen in the western region.
Damn it all, this was all because of the Lu Family!!!
If they hadn't come to mess with him, Old Qian's revenge might have happened the second he died — Lu Ding could have avenged him the very next moment!
Although Lu Ding wouldn't feel grief over Qian Jin's death.
That didn't mean he wouldn't settle this account. Those who owed debts weren't just Wuwang, but also the Lu Family.
At this moment.
At the Path of Dry Bones 749 reconstruction site.
To be fair, someone who could become a Wuwang Commander definitely had some skill.
Even while dealing with the encirclement of multiple investigators and Hou Dehai's relentless bombardment.
Although Yu Liuli was injured, overall, she could still fight back and forth.
And Wuwang members also had their greatest advantage — the ancient teleportation array! They could escape whenever they wanted!!
Except right now, Yu Liuli hadn't killed Hou Dehai and the others yet. She didn't want to leave. She still wanted an outcome for her brother's death!!
Besides, Lu Ding wasn't even here.
In the entire western 749, the people who could deal with her could be counted on one hand.
Why should she run now!!
The person she feared was Lu Ding, not the western 749!!!
And it was precisely because of this mindset.
That when Yu Liuli once again gathered her Spiritual Energy, manifested a closed-eyed glazed jade Guanyin behind her, went all out, and bombarded the entire battlefield...
That figure — the one who made the western region tremble and whose name spread through the new city — had arrived.
There was no deliberate entrance, no sense of controlling the rhythm, no atmosphere of letting the investigators suffer heavy losses before saving them at the critical moment.
There was only.
The black wide-swinging robe reflecting a spectrum of colors, the scholar-warrior sleeves billowing with the fierce sound of wind.
The figure simply stood before the closed-eyed glazed jade Guanyin, and that terrifying oppressive pressure was already overwhelming.
One kick!!!
Boom!!!!!!
It landed squarely on the forehead of Yu Liuli's manifested closed-eyed glazed jade Guanyin!!!
The terrifying force within it caused the glazed jade Guanyin's forehead to crack open, spreading like a spider web across its entire body.
Yu Liuli, who had been fighting wildly against multiple opponents just moments ago, arrogant and unrivaled, instantly had her Anomalous Phenomenon shattered, flew backward, tumbling through the air, spitting out blood.
Yu Liuli's furious voice rang out: "Lu Ding!!!!!!!!!"
Boom!!!
Lu Ding's figure, charging straight forward, produced an explosive sound. Black smoke and water vapor mixed around him, creating a black sonic boom cloud.
There wasn't a trace of technique — it was all exaggerated, violent physical capability.
He arrived after his strike yet before her landing, stomping heavily on Yu Liuli's chest, slamming her into the ground, plowing a deep, bloodstained trench across the earth!!!
Listening to Yu Liuli's sternum creaking under the unbearable pressure, each inch collapsing with a crunching sound, her Spiritual Energy within being violently disrupted, preventing her from gathering enough to trigger the teleportation array.
She could only vomit mouthful after mouthful of blood.
She was unwilling!!!
She refused to accept it!!!
She couldn't understand how Lu Ding had returned so quickly.
"Kill me, come on!!! Come!!!!"
Lu Ding lowered his gaze, his face carrying a smile that looked so gentle, but the words that left his mouth made Yu Liuli feel like she had fallen into an icy abyss.
"Don't worry, I will kill you. But not now. Tomorrow. I'm informing you in advance. Tomorrow, I will carry Old Qian's coffin and send him up the mountain. Aren't you the one who 'Does Not Worship Guanyin,' Yu Liuli? Perfect, you'll make a fine Jade Maiden. And your dead ghost of a brother — his body isn't even cold yet — he'll make a fitting Golden Boy."
"When the time comes, I'll burn you both as offerings for Old Qian. You siblings can go down below and serve him."
Lu Ding's strength was unstoppable.
Lu Ding's words struck terror into the heart.
Death wasn't enough to make Yu Liuli feel sorrow. But being offered as a Jade Maiden and Golden Boy to the person who killed her brother?
Yu Liuli was immediately plunged into despair.
This person before her was so vicious in his methods — thousands, tens of thousands of times more cruel and ruthless than even the demonic members of Wuwang or the Yellow Heaven Sect. Was he really an investigator from 749?
"Lu Ding!!! You beast!!!! You'll die a horrible death!!!!"
"If you have the guts, kill me! Kill me now!!!!!"
"You dog of the Great Han!!! Dog official!!!!"
