Chapter 1229: Two People Playing Coy, Flipping Out Over a Single Disagreement, Let's Fight!?

Compared to them.

She Shilan, in Niuxin Village, had already been brutally beaten down by reality.

If not for Lu Ding going there.

She would have been captured and forced to become someone's wife.

So she had sobered up somewhat.

And she also knew how formidable Lu Ding was.

However, she did not point out Lu Ding's name and identity.

After all, this place was crowded with prying eyes, and there were demons and monsters causing chaos. If Lu Ding's identity as someone from Lü Mountain were exposed, and everyone turned on him, what then?

It wasn't that she didn't trust her own friends.

It was just that there is no wall in the world that wind cannot pass through. If she didn't say it, there would be no risk of a leak.

But precisely because of She Shilan's words.

These young, brash men and women all felt a sense of defiance rise in their hearts.

"He's just a bit older than us, that's all. He's only cultivated a few years longer. If he were our age, who would come out on top would still be uncertain."

"Don't you agree, Brother Ye?"

The topic shifted to Ye Jun, who was carrying the giant sword. He was the only one in this small group who came from a mediocre background, relying on talent and fortuitous encounters along the way to get where he was now.

Yet he was also the strongest in combat.

Ye Jun watched the handshake between Lu Ding and the Third Sovereign in the long sky.

A flicker of disgust passed through his eyes.

"We'll know once we enter Thunder Roar Hall."

In the long sky.

Two people, each harboring ulterior motives, chatted and laughed, putting on quite the act of feeling they had met too late.

In reality, both of them were secretly scheming about how to deliver a thunderous blow to the other once inside Thunder Roar Hall, inflicting maximum damage.

"I've long heard of your esteemed name, Third Sovereign. Seeing you today truly proves that a famous reputation is not unfounded."

"Brother Lu flatters me. I am but a man with an undeserved reputation."

"What are you saying, Brother Third? You mustn't belittle yourself."

The armored general watched from the side. That's right, that's right, just like this. All great heroes and ambitious lords must feel like they've met too late.

The Third Sovereign would surely reward him handsomely upon returning for introducing him to such a heroic figure.

Suddenly.

BOOM!!!

Alright then.

This time it was Mu Xuecheng who came flying over.

She crashed heavily beside the two of them.

Lei Xiao coughed up a massive mouthful of blood, her chest cavity had been torn open with a large hole through which internal organs were visible.

And yet, she was still standing in the air laughing loudly: "Hahahaha, you little bitch, impressive huh? You're so impressive, huh? Aren't you lying down now?"

"Acting tough with me, my ass. I can't deal with you, huh? Come on, get up already."

With that, she flew over, grabbed Mu Xuecheng by the hair, yanked her up from the ground, wound her fist back, and slugged Mu Xuecheng right in the face, sending her teeth flying, a truly gruesome sight.

The Third Sovereign looked and thought, isn't this that woman who can't be killed?

Thinking to himself, he forced down his disgust and spoke: "The heroine has fine style. I wonder......."

"Fuck off with that crap, I'm your daddy, 'heroine' my********you 'heroine', can't you talk like a normal person? All prim and proper, you studying to be number one scholar or something? Pretending to be some cultured intellectual, my ass."

The Third Sovereign, being cursed at like this: "Hmm???????"

Was stunned for a moment.

There was fire in his heart, but the time to erupt had not yet come.

He could only awkwardly look at Lei Xiao and smile awkwardly.

Lei Xiao completely wouldn't indulge him: "What the fuck are you staring at? What are you looking at? Believe me, I'll gouge your eyes out. Not convinced? Let's have a go!"

This was a case of the fake scholar running into the real soldier. What could be explained clearly, now could not be explained clearly.

If it weren't for the fear of Lu Ding running away, or the fact that if he killed Lei Xiao here she had revival methods and could escape, the Third Sovereign would have stopped tolerating the two of them long ago. Especially this Lei Xiao, he would have torn her mouth apart, hung her up, and beaten her!

Fortunately, Lu Ding spoke up: "Lei Xiao, that's enough."

Lei Xiao instantly went from an exploding furball to a meek little lamb: "Oh, Brother Lu."

Then, dragging Mu Xuecheng by the hair, she pulled her along: "Come on, let's go continue playing over there."

At this moment, Mu Xuecheng was on the verge of despair.

I can't deal with her!

I completely can't deal with her.

This damn bitch just won't die!

Kill her and she revives, and upon revival she's at full strength, and even stronger than before she died.

How am I supposed to fight this?!!!

She was being worn down by Lei Xiao to the point of being unable to endure it.

She didn't have revival methods, let alone any means of instant recovery. Little by little, the drain exceeded the income. If this continued, she really would die.

Unwilling to speak up, she cast a pleading look toward the Third Sovereign.

Unexpectedly.

The Third Sovereign's returning gaze was filled with nothing but coldness and calm.

The grudges and ties of the past were long gone. Ever since that day before Gouchen Hall, when she stood by with cold indifference, the two of them no longer had the slightest bond.

Let alone the fact that she wanted the Third Sovereign to save her, yet she wouldn't even say a single word.

To say nothing of the Third Sovereign having no intimate relationship with her at all. Even if there were, the Third Sovereign was not the sort of shameless, lowly wretch. At the very least, he was a formidable lord!!!

Seeing herself dragged further and further away.

Mu Xuecheng finally could not hold back: "Xunfeng!!!!!"

One shout, calling out the Third Sovereign's name.

Finally causing a ripple to appear in his cold gaze.

A thousand thoughts from days gone by ultimately transformed into a single sigh: "Alas......."

"Brother Lu, how about you do me a favor and let this matter drop?"

Lei Xiao stopped moving. She wanted to see what Brother Lu would say. If Brother Lu nodded, she wouldn't mind letting it drop here.

After all, she wasn't at a loss. She had grown stronger.

Originally still planning to endure the disgust and keep up the act, Lu Ding, upon hearing these words.

The smile on his face slowly faded. He glanced at Lei Xiao, who was also seriously injured. She could revive, but injuries still hurt, and she was just getting into the swing of things.

Lu Ding stepped forward: "Brother Third."

"When I give you face, you'd best take it. Don't be shameless. You have no face with me. Just like Lei Xiao said a moment ago, if you're not convinced, the two of us can have a go too."

The Third Sovereign's expression returned to perfect calm. He stepped forward, closing the distance with Lu Ding, leaving less than half a meter between them: "Alright, come."

He too wanted to see what Lu Ding was capable of, a good opportunity to gauge his strength, so as to avoid.....

The Third Sovereign's mental calculations hadn't finished.

Lu Ding directly opened with zero frames [Way of the Jinche], which was both a basic attack and a one-hit-kill ultimate!!!

The main idea was, if he could settle it now, that would save trouble after entering.

After all, the stated agreement was a spar, and accidentally killing someone was still a defensible position. It wouldn't affect the big fish entering the Thunder Roar Hall nest afterward.

However, Lu Ding's [Way of the Jinche] uncharacteristically missed.

It wasn't that he hit but didn't kill.

Rather, the slash went off-course. He had clearly hit the Third Sovereign, but the force of the attack split the mountain peak beside them cleanly in two.

Alarms blared in the Third Sovereign's mind. Fortunately, before coming, he had activated all his many measures. Otherwise, if that slash, which sent his sense of danger off the charts and made the hairs on his back stand on end, had landed, he would have died on the spot.

Lu Ding spoke: "An illusion art that alters one's own existence? Interesting."

The Third Sovereign quickly pulled back distance: "Brother Lu, this is but a minor blinding trick, a poor showing. One good turn deserves another. Please receive my killing move, Myriad Transformations Demon Hand!!!!"

As he spoke.

In the space around Lu Ding, countless ferocious demon hands materialized out of thin air, wrapping and crushing toward Lu Ding like petals.
