Chapter 1185: He Hit Them But Not You, Right? Smashing the Prince's Perfect Native Nose!

As the saying goes, king against king, general against general.

The moment Lu Ding appeared.

Fang Li, who had been holding his dignified pose, immediately stepped forward and closed the distance, standing firm before Lu Ding.

The two stood facing each other less than half a meter apart.

"You hit my people the moment we meet? Not a good look, is it?"

Lu Ding: "Heh........"

His smile spread wide as his swinging fist lashed out, smashing the tall, proud, perfectly sculpted native nose straight into oblivion: "He hit them but not you, right!!!"

This kind of person was simply begging for a lesson. Fine if he wanted to throw his princely weight around in his own country, but daring to come out here and show off? He wouldn't stop until he broke this bastard!!!

That sudden punch sent Fang Li reeling so hard he could barely tell which way was up.

It hurt!!!!

He knew about Lu Ding, he never wasted words, that was clearly the first line in his profile.

But he never expected Lu Ding to be this decisive.

He was a prince!!

A prince of Great Xuan!!!

Wherever he went, people gave him due respect from every direction.

Yet Lu Ding just walked up and punched him in the face!!

Fang Li's rage instantly flared up too!!

Then damn it, let's fight!!

He wanted to see exactly what made Lu Ding stronger than him, what earned him the favor of Lü Mountain that he himself couldn't obtain.

But imagination was beautiful.

Reality was bone-crushingly harsh.

Clutching his punched nose, Fang Li hadn't even managed to straighten up.

Lu Ding kicked him in the side, the force penetrating his body and sending him flying, directly disrupting his Qi flow, making it impossible for him to gather his Spiritual Energy. He stumbled and crashed to the ground, looking rather pathetic.

Then he switched to alternating blows, left fist dealing high damage, right fist delivering high damage too.

Both fists were like two indestructible drill bits.

And against Fang Li's subordinates, they were pestles!!!

Bang bang bang......

Shen Lingfeng saw this and thought, a fight has broken out!!!

Get him!!!!

He had no idea what was going on, but it didn't matter. He had come here with Lu Ding, and Lu Ding had saved him. In a situation like this, he absolutely had to help back his side.

The moment he started fighting.

Shen Lingfeng was thrilled!!!

He felt the joy of battle!!!

Demonic Continent products were guaranteed quality. His combat strength back in the Demonic Continent might have just made him a tall midget among short people.

But out here.

Oh ho ho ho ho ho.........

Punching people from Great Xuan was one punch per person, one punch per person, just slightly slower than Lu Ding.

Fang Li gritted his teeth against the discomfort of his disrupted Qi and did a kip-up to rise.

Shen Lingfeng walked up and kicked him right back down: "Stay down!"

Bang!!!!

That kick sent Fang Li tumbling, almost splitting his python robe apart at the seams.

His kip-up turned into a dead fish flopping over.

And he was back on the ground.

Fang Li was the one getting beaten, but Shen Lingfeng was the one having the time of his life.

He had never left the Demonic Continent before, and he didn't know much about the outside world. He'd assumed the outside was about as dangerous as the Demonic Continent, maybe slightly less insane.

But in the Demonic Continent, he wasn't exactly top tier, at most an elite mob.

Turns out.

Only after leaving did he realize just how strong he was!

In the Demonic Continent he was timid and submissive, but out here he was throwing heavy punches!!!

If those people back in the Demonic Continent, especially his brother-in-law Jin Tianran whom Lu Ding had killed, were all like these guys, how could they have ever bullied him!?

Fang Li, kicked down.

Lying on the ground: "Bastard!!!!"

This time he didn't do a kip-up, he used the dragon coil twist to rise instead.

Little did he know, Shen Lingfeng was watching him.

"I told you to stay down!!!!"

Another kick!

Sending Fang Li crashing down again.

Beating him was like beating a child. In a place like the Demonic Continent, techniques that managed to survive and be passed down were all certified by time itself. After all, the Demonic Continent had the Centennial Demon-Feeding, one chaos every hundred years, with demons running rampant.

When Lü Mountain came down from its founding, it was all about fighting!

From south to north, demons and monsters were slaughtered until the whole Demonic Continent was wailing for their mothers. If the locals didn't have solid heritage and means, how could they face those cornered, desperate demons!?

Those demons were forces capable of going toe-to-toe with Lü Mountain.

Several times Lü Mountain nearly capsized.

In such a harsh environment, survival of the fittest, how could they not produce something truly solid?

Lü Mountain's techniques > Demonic Continent's native techniques > most Second Circle external techniques.

Fang Li?

Just a prince.

The life-and-death situations he'd experienced probably numbered fewer than Old Wu from Shen Lingfeng's household.

Fang Li, knocked down three times, roared: "Do you dare let me up!"

Lu Ding grabbed him off the ground in one motion: "Even if I let you up, what are you going to do?"

At this moment.

A crowd of Great Xuan Qi Refiners were already sprawled all around, each lying on the ground groaning...

Seeing this situation, Fang Li gritted his teeth: "Lu Ding, don't go too far. I just wanted to talk with you!!!"

Lu Ding looked at him: "Too far? I've always done things this way. I have nothing to talk about with you. And that wasn't the attitude of someone who wants to talk. You tried to bully my people and throw your weight around while I was away. Who do you think you are!?"

"Now you know how to speak properly."

"Why didn't you lower that proud head of yours earlier?"

Secretary Qiu added another jab: "He introduced himself as His Highness Fang just moments ago, and now he's suddenly calling Elder Shui by his full name."

He was a professional when it came to snitching.

Fang Li thought: Oh no!! There's a snitch!!!

Hearing this, Lu Ding grabbed him by the hair and forced his head toward the direction of Great Han, smashing it against the ground with dull, thudding sounds.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang........

"Can't learn manners? Then I'll teach you!"

Was Fang Li weak?

No!

He was fierce!!

But he happened to run into Lu Ding. That first punch and kick from Lu Ding, with force penetrating his body, sent him reeling and his spiritual energy scattering.

Having touched the essence of 'Force', when Lu Ding fought other Qi Refiners, it was purely a matter of every punch landing hard enough to knock the wind out of them.

Getting hit meant guaranteed misery.

This was why, among the three thousand great paths, Force came first.

The terrifying suppression made it impossible for Fang Li to resist at all. Only now did he understand just how horrifying Lu Ding's dominance truly was.

He was being thoroughly schooled in a lesson called hierarchy!!!

It had left Fang Li deeply traumatized.

Until his forehead was a bloody mess, his pupils dilated, and his eyes were starting to roll back.

Only then did Lu Ding stop.

The ground was pockmarked with craters and cracked crevices.

Secretary Qiu stepped forward and whispered a few words of advice into Lu Ding's ear. Beating him was fine, but don't kill him. Even though Great Han and Great Xuan were no longer cooperating.

The one in power over at Great Xuan still had a decent attitude toward Great Han, something like fellow townsmen looking out for each other.

Otherwise, Great Han would never have had the opportunity to establish diplomatic ties with Great Xuan in the first place.

So some face should still be given. They had shown goodwill before, and killing his son now wouldn't sit right. Besides, Fang Li hadn't committed any truly unforgivable offense.

Lu Ding took the advice to heart.

Looking down at Fang Li lying on the ground from his towering height.

"Be grateful. Be grateful you have a good father. Otherwise, this wouldn't have ended with just a beating."

Fang Li, lying on the ground, laughed mockingly: "Hahaha.... y-you... you think you can bite me? I hate it when people say I have a good... good father... You're denying all my blood, sweat, and effort... Lu... Lu Ding... you wait."

"I was in a hu... hurry to leave seclusion. The Ni... Nine Scattered Dragon Convergence Technique was at a critical moment, not yet fully stabilized... that's why my strength diminished, letting you scatter the spiritual energy in my body... unable to condense... you wait for me..."

"When I've stabilized... just you and me, no one else involved... we'll... we'll fight again... I... I don't accept this!!!!!!! *cough cough*... *hurk cough cough cough*..."

If he hadn't received the news that Lü Mountain and Great Xuan had severed ties, and been told to come quickly to make amends, how could he have left seclusion at such a critical moment!

How could he have so helplessly lost to Lu Ding like this.

Lu Ding ignored him.

Turned and walked away.

The nameless fire in Fang Li's heart instantly blazed up. Why didn't he respond!!!

Why was he ignoring him!!

"Lu Ding!"

"Lu Ding, why won't you say anything! Come back!!!!!"

"Lu Ding!!!"

"You wait for me!!! You just wait for me, cough cough cough *hurk*..."
