Chapter 1193: Playing Tough Guy? I'll Slaughter You One by One!

With an annoyed roar of fury from Lu Ding.

Within the Black Prison of Death's Body, black clouds shattered the ceiling, grand celestial music played, resounding through the long sky. Beneath the ethereal melody, a corner of Golden Ao Island emerged into view. Through the hazy celestial figures, one could glimpse the former grand spectacle of ten thousand immortals paying homage.

The island came crashing down!!!!

Those who had been basking in self-congratulation, as if they could see the dawn of victory, instantly fell into despair!!

The combination of secret methods and divine abilities moments ago had shown them a glimmer of hope for driving Lu Ding back.

But now, Lu Ding flipped the table without a word, refusing to play along any longer!

Pure and refined suppression force poured down from Golden Ao Island, making them feel what true despair really meant!!!!

They had absolutely no power to resist!!!

If he didn't show them something real, they would have actually started believing they could win!!

BOOM!!!!

Golden Ao Island slammed into the Black Prison of Death's Body like a planetary collision, unstoppable in its momentum. The shockwave erupted, surging to ten thousand feet, annihilating everything!!!!

If Lu Ding hadn't deliberately left them with one last gasping breath to extract their Spiritual Energy, the island falling would have directly crushed them into powder!!

Under the all-encompassing dust and smoke.

Voices arose in an instant.

"Disperse!"

In a flash, the Black Prison of Death's Body, which had been shrouded in dust and smoke and was as vast as a small nation, instantly cleared to clarity.

The devastation within was laid bare for all to see.

What was once an endless plain had transformed into a colossal sinkhole.

Clearly, this showed the terror of Golden Ao Island, and this wasn't even the full extent of Lu Ding's power when using it.

Where the ceiling of this thing lay, Lu Ding himself didn't know at the moment.

Ever since he became the Son of Heaven, his compatibility with Golden Ao Island seemed to have reached a whole new level. It wasn't merely a difference in power; it had completely transcended tiers.

At this moment.

At the bottom of the massive sinkhole within the Black Prison of Death's Body.

The family heads of the various magnate powers in Wushuang City, including the Ji, Liu, Gan, Zhuo, and Guan families, were all sprawled at the bottom of the pit, bedraggled and miserable. Every one of them had cracked bodies, blood spraying as it stained their clothes red. Their conditions were utterly gruesome, and it was clear they were on the verge of death.

Lu Ding descended with condescending grace, lowering himself to their level.

His voice rang out: "Originally, I planned to play around with you lot, but you just had to push your luck."

"How do you feel now?"

As he spoke.

Lu Ding reached out and seized Liu Chang from the ground. She was the one who had just been activating the secret method, treating Lu Ding like a piece of iron to hammer!

Oh, she was so impressive!

Liu Chang was held firmly in Lu Ding's grasp, her eyes filled with bloody tears and endless hatred: "You... are... the... demon..."

Lu Ding: "Heh... Is that your last words?"

It was a question that needed no answer.

He grabbed her neck, lifted her up, slammed her down, and smashed her against the ground. She shattered on the spot like a porcelain doll, yet no crisp sound escaped, only a sticky, squelching sound. SPLAT!!!!!!

A miserable death on the spot.

Her entire body's Spiritual Energy was drained dry!!

Her head rolled across the ground with a dull thud.

Lu Ding stepped forward and seized Ji Ming, the head of the Ji Family. A Slash Attack from the Way of the Jinche erupted, directly hacking off his arm. Lu Ding snatched the bronze bell that Ji Ming had been clutching tightly. Holding the blood-stained bell, Lu Ding placed it right in front of Ji Ming's face.

Allowing him to clearly see the bell gently trembling as it resisted its new master.

The bell was struggling.

The bell was trying to escape.

Treasures have their own spirituality.

It knew this wasn't its master.

But faced with Lu Ding's terrifying oppressive force, it couldn't manage to escape.

It could only continuously and violently struggle, until crack after crack crawled up the bell's surface.

Lu Ding looked at Ji Ming and spoke: "Ring it. Go on, ring it again. They say physicians can't heal themselves. Ring one for me to see. This time, don't swap someone else away. How about swapping yourself away?"

Ji Ming struggled desperately.

"You... you... will... die... a... horrible... death..."

BANG!!!

Lu Ding smashed the bell heavily against his brow.

"That's not the answer I wanted. I told you to ring it!!"

BANG!!

BANG!!!

Once, twice, three times........

Until the shattered bell was forcibly embedded into Ji Ming's brow, wedged into his brain. Watching his life force flicker out like a candle in the wind, only then did Lu Ding stop.

He drained every bit of Spiritual Energy from his body.

Then, directly.

Twisted his head off.

He walked over to the Guan Family head and Gan Rong, the head of the Gan Family.

Lu Ding raised his foot and stomped on the Guan Family head's neck, crushing it completely, severing his head from his body.

"You worthless piece of trash with no contributions, you should have died a long time ago!"

Then he seized Gan Rong in one motion.

Gan Rong looked at Lu Ding with a calm expression, but his brows were filled with unyielding defiance: "Is... is it... my turn... you... AAARGH!!!!!"

PURE AGONY!!!

The art of extraction forcibly pulled all the Spiritual Energy from his body.

The pain was more intense than being flayed alive. This man, who hadn't even furrowed his brow when he was struck down and grievously wounded by Lu Ding's Golden Ao Island, his body cracking apart, was now convulsing all over from the agony, unable to hold back his trembling screams.

Lu Ding smiled: "Playing tough guy, are we?"

No respect. People who committed every evil deed and then twisted the truth in the end didn't deserve it.

He crushed him to death with one grip.

Snapping his neck, severing his head from his body.

For Lu Ding to meet violence with violence was the only ending they deserved!

Holding the head in his hand, Lu Ding slowly turned his head and glanced sideways. The sight scared the fallen Zhuo Family head so badly that his face lost all color, his body unable to move, his mouth mumbling pleas for mercy: "Gr... Grand Duke Lu... Immortal Master Lu... I was wrong... I was wrong..."

"Everything, I'm willing to contribute my entire Zhuo Family fortune to the Han Embassy, to use it for building Wushuang City. I'm willing to..."

"Hahahahahaha......"

He was talking, Lu Ding was laughing. Whatever he was saying, Lu Ding no longer cared.

As if Lu Ding were stupid enough not to take it himself.

Wild laughter, arrogant, defiant, even utterly contemptuous laughter echoed throughout the entire Black Prison of Death's Body.

Until the spell was lifted.

The laughter spread out from the Black Prison of Death's Body, resounding across Wushuang City.

"Hahahahahaha......."

The suddenly shifting sky, the black clouds pressing down from above, let everyone in Wushuang City witness with their own eyes and hear with their own ears the omen of destruction and rebirth, the cycle of reincarnation.

Beneath the black clouds in the long sky, a figure drew the gaze of ten thousand onlookers as he flew eastward with a string of severed heads in hand.

His destination.

The very families of those family heads who had died at his hands within the Black Prison of Death's Body!!!

At this moment.

At the Tu Family estate.

The elderly, the weak, the sick, and the families of the many clans had all gathered there. Just as their able-bodied young men had united against Lu Ding, so too did these women, children, and elders.

They too gathered together.

To avoid being picked off one by one, jointly protected by the Family Elders of each clan.

On this patch of land in Wushuang City, for these Family Elders, face mattered more than actual strength.

Those family heads had all died at Lu Ding's hands.

The remaining Family Elders were nothing more than old relics past their prime.

Never mind Lu Ding himself. Even Shen Lingfeng, who after finishing up with Fatty's matters and learning that Lu Ding had made his move, had deliberated repeatedly before deciding to lend a hand, might not be someone these old geezers could handle.
