Chapter 1110: Ambush Counterattack, Assailing Multiple Gods — Open Everything!
......
In an instant.
The hundred-plus Lü Mountain experts on the flying boat swept through Baoji Kingdom like X-rays, flipping over and over, scanning back and forth.
“Eh!?”
“Eh!!!?”
A chorus of puzzled exclamations rose, one after another.
Something was wrong!
Nine out of ten things were wrong.
They scanned the entire Baoji Kingdom and found that the God-ascended Qi Refiners here were not as numerous as they had expected.
Based on the intelligence calculated before departure, Baoji Kingdom should have had God-ascended cultivators from the local area plus dozens of outsiders from other countries joining to besiege Lu Ding.
So why didn't the numbers add up now?
No need to panic!
Do the math.
They couldn't calculate Lu Ding himself, but they could calculate people around Lu Ding.
For example, Yan Feifan, for example, Bai Hemen.
By extending from those two's relationships, they could also account for Secretary Qiu, Elder Shui, and others.
The result? If you don't calculate, you won't know.
Damn it!!
A wasted trip.
Lu Ding had already escaped and was headed to Nanshan Kingdom.
So.........
Inside the clouds, on the Lü Mountain flying boat, some experts sensed the God-ascended auras that had been left behind here, the ones that intended to besiege Lu Ding, and performed thousand-mile location tracking and ten-thousand-mile pursuit.
They discovered that the owners of those energy signatures had all gone to Nanshan Kingdom.
The black-robed elder of the generation of Lu Ding's great-grandmaster, his mouth crooked: “Fine, fine, fine, you damned brats actually chased after my disciple's grandson!!?!?”
“He's already avoided your sharp edge, and you still want to finish him off, won't let it go!!!!”
The black-robed elder twisted his mouth and gritted his teeth: “Turn around!! Nanshan Kingdom!!!!”
His temper rose.
If he didn't beat these people one by one into scabby toads covered in boils today, then he wouldn't deserve to be Lu Ding's great-grandmaster!!!
He couldn't care less about grudges or who was right or wrong.
When Lü Mountain was on official business, he could be the one upholding heaven's way, preserving human morals, presiding at the summit of earth's path, insisting on fairness and justice while roaming Lü Mountain.
But this was personal now.
So he only cared about his own way!!!
His way was: Lu Ding can hit you, but you hit Lu Ding — then hell no!!!
At worst he'd go back and roll in thunder tribulation baths, be roasted on both sides.
A lion with many scratches doesn't fear itching; it's not the first time, they've built resistance. Is he still afraid?
Meanwhile.
On the other side.
Nanshan Kingdom, Dong'an Province.
Lu Ding arrived back at the White Ink Mine area before everyone else, using Celestial Shift extremely quickly.
He didn't notify Gongyang Qingrou or Wang Qingge.
Instead he found a small hill, sat down in a crouch, and hid!
Now the enemy was in the open while he was in the dark. If he didn't strike first, wouldn't he be wasting the Nanshan King's tip-off?
No time for small talk.
Just wait for them to arrive.
Lu Ding would jump out and release a long-prepared Way of the Jinche, cutting first and asking questions later. Kill as many as possible to cause effective attrition.
Then keep fighting.
During the process he would decide whether to open Dharma Form and carry the White Ink Mine fleeing toward Great Han.
Of course, he could also open Dharma Form now and carry White Ink Mine toward Great Han.
But then Dharma Form's target would be too large, likely attracting those who came to besiege him, making him vulnerable to others' preemptive strikes and losing the advantage of striking first and surprising them.
Not good.
Thinking this, Lu Ding silently activated his states.
Confirmed, Heaven-Man Unity permanent state.
Confirmed, White Snake Shakes Scales permanent state.
Confirmed, Stinger permanent state.
Confirmed, Four Fundamental Evil Aspects·Invulnerable Vajra Body permanent state.
Open, Fear-Killing Asura full-power state.
Open, White Blaze World full-power state.
A breath in his chest birthed Snorting Breath into Gold-Shattering Stone-Breaking Blast.
Divine ability Human King's Loose Hands kneaded Black Devours Sun into Dragon Emperor Different Dimension.
Three Dinghai Pearls floated out, driving the Water Dao System to spiral around his body.
Lu Ding's state in this moment reached the extreme; spiritual energy inside him rapidly consumed.
He used Celestial Shift again to flash to Baoji Kingdom's Royal Capital, used Refine Essence into Energy to rapidly replenish his spent spiritual energy; after topping up a bit,
Lu Ding used Celestial Shift once more to return to a small mountain near the White Ink Mine and crouched again.
He was now in peak condition, with a wind-up skill primed, ready to act with zero frames.
Just waiting for them.
Lu Ding's gaze extended outward, sensing dozens of sharp auras continuously closing in.
“Finally here.”
He flipped his grip on the blade.
When those dozens of multi-country seasoned God-ascended veterans entered the perimeter of the White Ink Mine and took up positions facing the mine,
someone shouted, “Lu Ding, come out.”
Inside the White Ink Mine, Gongyang Qingrou flew out with Wang Qingge.
Their appearance immediately drew the eyes of those God-ascended.
Before they could go through the motions—saying things like “the wise retreat,” advising Gongyang Qingrou and others to give up or betray, and other such words—
Lu Ding skipped the animation at that moment!
He smashed out through the side of the little mountain, breaking the rock as he flew.
White Blaze World's heatwave swept out.
“You called your mother a f*cking-!!!”
He pushed Black Devours Sun, and the sky dimmed.
His hand swung the long blade, Blood Frost, blade qi rolling.
Mechanics and numbers fused into one, the purely excessive Way of the Jinche, carrying long-suppressed rage, burst forth completely.
Lu Ding himself had no real sense of how terrifying this slash was.
He only felt a kickback like the one he had experienced back in the Third Circle when he first charged up against Stone Dang, reappearing now.
His whole body was slammed back a step by the recoil.
Boom!!!!!!!
Crimson blade qi swept across sky and day like a breached heavenly river, hanging inverted in the empty air and pouring downward, covering the range without distinguishing friend from foe, treating all living things equally!!!!!
This slash tore through darkness, shattered light, and turned heaven and earth one color, all crimson!!!
Its all-slashing property filled it, destroying everything.
It tore mountains, pushed cities, split sky, cleaved earth, shattered stars, expelled the sun, blocked the moon, slaughtered everything!!!
Several God-ascended who couldn't react in time were swallowed by the charged blade qi, along with the entire Dong'an Province and the ancient forested mountain range that demons occupied — directly wiped out!!!!
The three Dinghai Pearls protected his body, White Blaze World provided support.
Lu Ding loosened his grip on the hilt.
He watched Blood Frost fall from his hand.
With a single grab!!
He caught the blood-red tassel, spun Blood Frost around.
The Way of the Jinche bombarded wildly, emanating from the blade forged with fragments of Nanshan Stubborn Stone, the original soup reverting to original food.
Lu Ding advanced instead of retreating, single-handedly gouging through the formation and pressing into the stunned group of God-ascended!!!!
“Fuck you all, weren't you coming to besiege me? Come on then!!!!!!”
He spun the long blade and hacked and swung madly. Whether head or body, head or foot, he chopped, he diced; Lu Ding didn't care, he just kept slicing the mincemeat.
Basic attacks, basic attacks, basic attacks, basic attacks, basic attacks!!!!!!!
Return to fundamentals, keep basic attacking with the Way of the Jinche!!!
