Chapter 1201: One Palm Turns Huang'er Village Into a Giant Sinkhole!!

Everyone turned to look at Lu Ding, who had transformed into a deity form.

Emotions gradually surfaced in their eyes.

The main reason they dared to think but didn't dare to do many things was that Lü Mountain loomed above them. They never knew when they might violate Lü Mountain's rules and incur its punishment. That was the first point.

Secondly.

Their individual abilities were somewhat lacking, even if their courage was bold.

Now that Lu Ding had displayed his overwhelming personal strength, and with his Lü Mountain identity backing him, he was stepping forward to take the lead.

What more was there to say!?

One by one, they bowed low: "We are willing to serve Grand Duke Lu through thick and thin!!"

Lu Ding smiled. He had no intention of dispelling his [Dharma Form] state. As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot; morale only wanes with delay.

Let's get to it right now!!!

Raze Huang'er Village to the ground, dig up the Guan Family Grave!!!

"Lead the way, Huang'er Village!!"

Shen Lingfeng rose and answered: "Yes!"

He sped away into the distance, guiding Lu Ding ahead.

Lu Ding, transformed into a deity form, strode forward. Every step he took was a heavy stamp upon the long sky, shattering the clouds of Yunhai into fragments. Not that he refused to keep his feet on solid ground.

It was simply that.

If he stamped once in Wushuang City, Wushuang City would be finished!

His towering figure, reaching between heaven and earth, advanced onward. Countless people, countless demons and monsters, witnessed him with their own eyes.

His overwhelming presence.

Startled the birds from a thousand mountains into flight, and wiped every trace of man from ten thousand paths.

At this moment, inside Huang'er Village.

Before the eerie old house, Grandma Qin was bending low in the courtyard, holding a small sickle as she cut at the weeds growing from the cracks between the courtyard's brick tiles.

Beside her stood an old man with a fawning expression.

"Ah Hua, hehehe, the Thunder Roar Grand Hall is about to open this time. The mountains are going to be lively. Aren't you going?"

Grandma Qin didn't even look at him: "Why would I go? I'm too old for all that. No need to risk my life scrambling for opportunities in a place of life and death. Maybe I can live a few more years this way. Besides, unlike you, I don't have disciples. Not going, not going."

The old man chuckled: "Ah Hua makes sense, makes sense. But if I could snatch an opportunity back for you, would you be willing to come with me? I'll take you to live a good life."

Grandma Qin paused in her work and looked at him: "At our age, you're still thinking about these things. If I could be with you, I would have done it long ago."

Those words instantly made the old man leap in fury. His face contorted with rage as he grabbed Grandma Qin's hand and squeezed it tightly: "You're always like this!!!!"

"You just can't forget that cheap piece from Gouchen Hall!!"

"What's so good about him anyway!!"

"He doesn't love you! He doesn't like you! I love you!! I like you!! For so many years now!!!!"

"I've always been giving for you!!!"

"And what do you give me in return? You won't even look at me. You won't give me even a single chance!!!"

Grandma Qin's face remained calm, as if she had long grown accustomed to this: "Giving? Giving what? A few empty words that don't cost anything? This world has no rule saying that just because someone expresses verbal affection, you're obligated to accept it."

"It's the same as how my heart belongs to him, but he doesn't like me. Did I throw a tantrum like you?"

The old man: "You......"

He slowly released his grip: "Ah Hua, you know how I feel about you. You can't treat me like this. I......"

"Hahahahahaha, that's hilarious! An old witch and an old demon, two old coffin-dodgers, and they're still playing at romance. How disgusting! The woman doesn't even like you, and you're still pushing yourself on her. You've got no shame at all."

The speaker was a girl tied up in the corner. She had a feminine face with masculine features, strikingly handsome and spirited. In Demon Province's feudal society, she wore her hair short like the girls of Great Han.

In this corner of Demon Province, she looked utterly out of place.

The old man who had captured her whipped his head around: "Shut up!"

"Say one more word and I'll kill you!"

The girl smiled disdainfully: "Kill me? I carry the Thunder Phoenix Bloodline. You captured me because you want to take me to the Thunder Roar Grand Hall and use my Thunder Phoenix Bloodline to help you cross the Lightning Sea, right? If you kill me, how are you going to cross it?"

"So just suck it up. Hey, you shameless old bastard, ptooey! If you hadn't ambushed me with that coffin-nail Yin Wood technique to counter my Thunder Dao, would I have been caught by you? You've lived this long and still can only rely on underhanded tricks to get the better of a youngster like me, and you have the nerve to gloat."

"And you've got the audacity to throw a temper? If I were you, at this age with this little strength, I'd find a river and drown myself. No lid needed anyway."

"You......"

The old man hopped around in fury.

"You're infuriating me, absolutely infuriating me!!!!!"

"Shut your mouth!!!"

The old man raised his hand to attack, but before it could come down-

In the distance, clouds surged like an inverted sea. Heaven and earth trembled as a colossal figure strode into view.

Without the slightest warning, its target was Huang'er Village. It directly swept forward with a single palm strike, carrying a terrifying momentum that washed across the sky, obliterating thousands of miles of rosy clouds in its path as the palm descended.

BOOM!!!!!!

Huang'er Village was instantly crushed down below ground level by that single palm, forming a crater-like depression nearly a thousand meters deep!!!

Inside the pit.

Huang'er Village was a scattered ruin, no longer what it once was. The old man who had been hopping in fury and Grandma Qin were both gravely wounded, on the verge of death.

The tied-up girl had been instantly reduced to fine dust.

But the next moment.

The girl revived at the exact spot where she had died just a second ago, completely unharmed.

She let out a long breath.

Looking toward the towering figure at the horizon: "This one's got some weight to it. Impressive."

She flew up out of the deep pit and stood in midair, cupping her hands toward Lu Ding: "Hey, big guy, thanks! Didn't expect that someone as big as you could still be this handsome. That's rare."

Lu Ding looked at her outfit and asked: "You're not from Huang'er Village?"

The girl: "Of course I'm not from this little backwater village. How could a place like this possibly produce someone of my natural noble birth? It doesn't deserve the honor! I was captured and brought here by that old man."

Lu Ding nodded: "My apologies then. You suffered undeserved calamity because of me."

The girl was somewhat surprised. This person was actually this polite?

From that palm strike just now, she had already sensed Lu Ding's strength. He could crush her with ease, and yet a powerhouse like him would actually apologize to her. The girl dropped her earlier arrogance: "No need to apologize. You're a pretty decent guy, big guy."

"You've got a grudge against them, right?"

"Hold on."

The girl turned and flew back into the deep pit, hauling out the two people whose meridians were completely severed and who had moments left to live. She tossed them onto the ground.

"Come on, hurry up and deliver the finishing blow. Kill them off."

Grandma Qin raised her hand with great difficulty: "Wait!!!!!"

"May I ask what grievance you hold against me? I can see your face is unfamiliar to me, you and I......"

Lu Ding raised his hand.

With the momentum of [Plucking Stars, Seizing the Moon], he pulled her toward him, then shattered her with a single palm strike of [Mysterious Path Transformation Palm].

BANG!!!!!!!

"You're not worthy of an explanation from me."
