Chapter 1141: You'll Even Call Me "Big Brother" Just to Beg for Mercy—You're Truly Spineless. Now, Block This!

It was purely showing off one's skills before an expert.

Lu Ding recognized it at a single glance. Though this thing was of the same origin as his own, the difference between them was like that between a human and a monkey.

He grabbed the flying sword with one hand, imprisoning this artifact flying sword with his bare flesh and blood.

"How dare a petty trick like this claim to cut through anything without exception!?"

The Way of the Jinche erupted in his hand, shattering the flying sword inch by inch, refining it into nothing in an instant.

BANG!!!!

The flying sword shattered. Lu Bing suffered backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Yet she seemed to feel no pain at all, her eyes filled with shock as she stared at Lu Ding.

"It's you!!!!"

"It was you who left the Lu name at the divine gate!!!!"

Lu Ding looked at her: "And what if it was me?"

In that instant, a whirlwind of emotions interwove in Lu Bing's heart: anger, shame, shock, and more.

She was furious at everything Lu Ding had done today.

She was ashamed of her own actions. The uproar over the Lu character at the divine gate had swept across the Ji Continent not long ago, and everyone thought it was her.

And she, after comprehending a sliver of the Way of the Jinche, had neither denied nor confirmed it. Instead, she repeatedly used the essence she'd grasped from it to break enemies with her sword.

Leaving others room for wild speculation.

But now, here stood the true owner of that feat.

Lu Bing wished she could find a crack in the earth to crawl into.

Overcome with humiliation and fury, she teleported over using a secret method, raising her fist wreathed in divine light, as if mountains and rivers were held within her hand: "You're not worthy of the surname Lu!!!!"

Lu Ding lashed out with a kick, amplified by the overwhelming force of Mountain-Shaking Earth-Quaking, savage as a battering ram, driving straight through Lu Bing's wide-open guard into her chest.

"Cough..."

A mouthful of blood sprayed from Lu Bing's lips.

The immense force passing through her body blasted open the clothes on her back, blood mist billowing out from the pores across her back in sheets.

BANG!!!!!!

The heavy kick detonated a ring of black energy that rolled outward, sending Lu Bing flying and crashing into the same pile of rubble as her mother.

Still saying Lu Ding wasn't worthy of the surname Lu?

He laughed.

Without even giving her a proper glance, Lu Ding's voice rang out: "A waste like you isn't even qualified to die by my hand."

He then turned his gaze to Lu Xiu, who stood frozen in place, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

Black smoke curled from the corners of Lu Ding's mouth, the crimson light in his eyes burning brighter. As the black smoke rose, dragon scales emerged on his face, his features twisting into a savage snarl, as if he were about to devour someone whole.

He opened his mouth, revealing sharp fangs: "But you are."

He raised his hand, True Samadhi Fire igniting along his arm.

At this moment, all color had drained from Lu Xiu's face, leaving only ghostly pallor: "B...Big... Brother..."

Lu Ding: "You'd even call me big brother just to beg for mercy. You really are a groveling piece of trash. Come on, block this!!!"

His fist came smashing down.

A chorus of shouts rang out: "Stop!!!!"

"Stop!!!!"

"Xiu'er!!!!"

"Little Xiu!!!!"

"Fifth Brother!!!!!"

Those voices rang in his ears, but Lu Ding wasn't some fool from a cliché story who would actually stop just because someone yelled at him to.

His fist landed.

Lu Xiu raised his arms to block.

BANG!!!!

One punch was all it took to drive half his body into the earth. The protective life-saving artifacts on Lu Xiu's body, along with his hands, were reduced to charred cinders and shattered fragments.

He vomited blood in great gushes, mixed with fragments of his internal organs spraying from his mouth.

Fire venom invaded his body. He didn't have long to live.

Lu Ding glanced to the side. More people had arrived on the scene. It was the first wife of Lu Ding's father, Shui Ci of the Shui family, along with the two so-called elder siblings sharing Lu Ding's father: Lu Teng's eldest daughter, Lu Yuexin, and Lu Teng's second son, Lu Yansheng.

At this point.

All of Lu Teng's five children and two wives had arrived in full.

By normal order of birth, Lu Ding would be ranked third.

But Lu Ding had no intention of joining that ranking at all.

Looking at Lu Yansheng and Lu Yuexin, both burning with rage.

He spoke: "Don't stop them."

He wanted to see just what kind of goods Lu Teng's children really were!

Lu Ding turned, facing the two cultivators at God Ascension cultivation. The gale wind blew straight at him, tousling the hair on his forehead, radiating unbridled arrogance. He extended one hand, hooked his fingers, and taunted: "Come on, save him from under my hand."

"If you're fast enough, you might just hear his last words before the fire venom completely ravages him."

At this moment, Lu Xiu was half-buried in the ground, his arms reduced to charred, shattered stumps. His face was twisted with unbearable agony as he vomited large mouthfuls of dark, half-congealed blood. That was the fire venom of True Samadhi Fire rampaging through his body.

Lu Yuexin looked at the younger brother she had once doted on, now at the end of his life. Though Lu Xiu and Lu Bing shared no mother with her and Lu Yansheng, they had still tried their best to love their younger siblings.

Seeing Lu Xiu reduced to this state, how could her heart not ache? With fury overwhelming her, Lu Yuexin smashed both hands behind her, shattering space itself, and drew out a pair of golden maces, one long and one short: "You are... beyond outrageous!!!!"

Lu Yuexin charged forward.

The long mace blazed with divine light, splitting mountains and cracking the earth as it came crashing down at Lu Ding's head.

Lu Ding didn't dodge or evade. He simply raised his hand and caught it bare-handed.

Such an action made even Lu Yuexin, who never cursed, curse inwardly: Idiot!!!!

But the next second.

She was dumbfounded.

The golden mace descending from above was caught by Lu Ding's bare hands.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, he deflected it away. The mace transmitted the force of the rebound, making Lu Yuexin's tiger's mouth go numb. She nearly lost her grip on her weapon, shock coursing through her heart. Lu Ding's physical body was so terrifying it didn't seem human!!!!!

She knew well that she and her brother were naturally gifted with divine strength and possessed special physiques, which was why they had chosen the mace as their weapon. Yet Lu Ding's physical body was actually superior to hers!!

Lu Yuexin used the force to spin through the air, tumbling to disperse the impact.

Then a figure leaped up from behind her, both hands gripping a long-handled war hammer carved with mountains, rivers, and lakes, with ferocious beasts coiled upon it, striking down from above in a Mountain-Splitting Slash!!!!

As it descended.

The mountains, rivers, lakes, and ferocious beast phenomena on the hammer seemed to come alive. Carrying the weight of mountains and rivers, carrying the ferocity of savage beasts, it slammed down with devastating force as Lu Yansheng cursed: "You inhuman villain!!!!!"

Lu Ding stepped back with one leg, slowly drawing his arm back. The black smoke spewing from his apertures was, in that moment, drawn to the fist and knuckles of his arm by the pulling motion. Viscous darkness clung to flesh and blood, carrying hidden crimson light and flames within.

A moment of gathering power, then BOOM!!!!!

He smashed his fist out.

Lu Ding: "You can go screw your mother!"

Punch force compressed the air, black smoke exploded in rings, space itself groaned under the unbearable strain, and then came the roar of the Sin Dragon!!

ROAR!!!!!!

Knuckles collided with the war hammer!!!!

A dull thud resounded, DONG!!!!!

The rounded hammerhead cracked open inch by inch, caving inward. The terrifying force within shattered the hammer's shaft, traveling all the way up to Lu Yansheng's arms. Flesh exploded, revealing white bones twisted and broken. The shockwave followed the force, blasting Lu Yansheng's face so hard his features deformed, waves of flesh rippling across his face.

The war hammer finally couldn't withstand the terror and shattered. Lu Yansheng's arms completely disintegrated. His entire body, uncontrollably wrapped in the punch force, flew backward spewing blood, smashing through boulders crafted by the Lu Family along the way.

The punch force plowed through the ground, devastating everything in its path, spreading across... eight hundred li!!!!

"Yansheng!!!!!"
