Chapter 1234: Hero Saves the Beauty? One Punch to Vomit Blood!

Lei Xiao immediately moved to snatch it, but she never expected that Ye Jun, holding the sword, would stand firm as Mount Tai. For a moment, she actually couldn't budge him at all!!!

Ye Jun smiled faintly.

His physical body had been specially trained. In all his travels to this day, very few people could match him in a contest of sheer physical strength.

"My physical body......."

Before he could finish.

Lu Ding teleported over with Celestial Shift.

Raised his fist and smashed!!

"Fuck you!"

Say what you will, but Ye Jun did have something about him. Even under these circumstances, he could still react. With the giant sword in hand, he swung it to block, executing a move like Su Qin carrying his sword on his back, steadily blocking Lu Ding's strike!!!

It produced a dull impact sound like a giant bell tolling.

Dong!!!!!

Ye Jun was shaken by the recoil force until he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Although most of the force had been absorbed by the giant sword, just the residual shockwave and recoil alone were more than he could withstand.

Lu Ding grabbed the giant sword with one hand and yanked hard.

Ye Jun still wanted to protect his sword, but his strength in front of Lu Ding was like a newborn infant before a father in his prime.

He wanted to resist.

But he couldn't resist.

The instant the giant sword left his hand, Ye Jun shouted, "Juque!!!!"

In that instant!

The cloth strips wrapped around the blade shattered instantly, and the energy previously absorbed burst out indiscriminately in an instant.

Facing Lu Ding, it bloomed point-blank at his face.

Just as it was about to blast into Lu Ding's face, the Sin Dragon's chaotic pupils in his eyes rotated for a moment, and the attack surging toward his face was instantly suppressed back into the sword body, exploding inside!

The giant sword visibly swelled for a moment, like a balloon, then immediately deflated, suffering severe damage.

The blade was covered in cracks, humming and wailing in grief.

Ye Jun raged, "Give it back!!!"

He flew into the air, aperture energy attached to his leg, and swept a kick at Lu Ding's head.

Lu Ding held the sword one-handed in his scholar's sleeve.

His martial sleeve raised to block easily, while his other fist drove straight in.

Bang!!!!

Ye Jun was sent flying, spewing large mouthfuls of blood. Who knew how many ribs were broken, his internal organs nearly completely shattered.

At this point, he already understood in his heart: he could not drag out this fight, could not match force with force.

Lu Ding was about to press the advantage, to strike while he was down, to take his life!

Just then.

The Thunder Roar Hall opened.

Rumbling thunder sounded, more terrifying than the heavenly punishment lightning Lei Xiao had summoned earlier. As thunder crashed to the ground with ten thousand jun of force and ten-thousand-zhang radiance rose, it illuminated the towering, majestic, miraculous structure standing upon the earth yet reaching to the heavens!!!

Someone shouted.

"The Thunder Roar Hall has opened!!!"

"How could the Thunder Roar Hall open so early!!?"

"Something's wrong!!!"

Though everyone was excited, not a single one of these thousands upon thousands of people dared to move, dared to rashly set foot into the already-opened Thunder Roar Hall.

Their eyes were all on Lu Ding.

After all, this was his turf to control.

His ruthless, decisive mindset made it impossible to predict whether stepping ahead of him would provoke his wrath.

But when Ye Jun saw the Thunder Roar Hall open, he had not a trace of hesitation. He cast one last look at Lu Ding and the giant sword in his hand that should have been his, scooped up Linjiang Xian, directly crushed a jade talisman, and shifted into the Thunder Roar Hall.

Seeing this, Lu Ding laughed.

Where could he run to?

Running into the Thunder Roar Hall.

Wasn't that just seeking death?

He casually tossed the violently subdued giant sword in his hand to Lei Xiao.

"Here!"

Lei Xiao caught the sword, both hands sinking, nearly unable to hold it. The terrifying weight shocked her.

"Brother Lu, this....for me?"

Lu Ding nodded. "Of course. You're the one who earned it. If you like this spoils of war, it's yours."

He had no use for it anyway.

He had Blood Frost.

Though the world held countless weapons, when it came to sharpness, it still had to be Lu Ding's [Way of the Jinche].

So his weapon absolutely had to be one that complemented [Way of the Jinche]. To date, onlyBlood Frost, forged from Nanshan Stubborn Stone fragments, could withstand [Way of the Jinche].

Lei Xiao held the giant sword, unable to put it down.

"Juque, that name's really not bad. From now on, you're with me."

She patted the massive sword that was like a door plank, and the sword trembled slightly, full of resistance.

Lu Ding's voice rang out, "Ungrateful. Give it here, I'll teach it a thing or two."

To deal with these disobedient artifacts and weapons, all he needed was to inject a tiny bit of [Way of the Jinche], and it would be straightened out until it was utterly docile.

Treasures have spirits.

Hearing this, Juque.

Hastily split countless cloth strips from its hilt to wrap itself up tightly, and even wrapped up Lei Xiao's hand gripping the hilt along with it.

Fear!

Don't give me to him!

Lei Xiao was like coaxing a child, patting Juque's blade. "Not giving, not giving, don't be scared, don't be scared."

Only then did Lu Ding let it go.

"Let's go, into the Thunder Roar Hall."

Though he said that, he didn't move.

"Brother Third Sovereign, after you?"

We're all thousand-year-old foxes here, what's with playing Liaozhai? The Third Sovereign said cautiously, "No, no, no.

, best Lu brother goes first."

As the two went back and forth deferring, Lei Xiao slung the giant sword on her back, stepped forward, and provoked the Third Sovereign, "Like a woman, dawdling, coward, Brother Lu, I'll clear the way for you."

The Third Sovereign: .......

His fists clenched tight again!

Village girl!

You'll pay sooner or later!!

In that moment, he found he suddenly didn't appreciate Lei Xiao quite so much anymore.

If his subordinates had someone like Lei Xiao, he would probably be angry half to death!

Watching Lu Ding's party of three enter the Thunder Roar Hall.

The remaining factions and rogue cultivators all flew inside.

She Shilan's group especially, among the crowd, stared dead at Lu Ding's back as he entered the Thunder Roar Hall.

They had witnessed what just happened with their own eyes.

If not for She Shilan doing her utmost to hold them back, they would have already rushed up to help Ye Jun.

Though they didn't understand why Ye Jun would help a demon.

But since they stood with Ye Jun, that was that.

And because of She Shilan holding them back.

The group's attitude toward her had shifted somewhat. Not a single one was willing to acknowledge her, flying past her with cold eyes.

She Shilan was helpless.

She didn't understand why Ye Jun would help Linjiang Xian.

Wasn't it about slaying demons and eradicating evil?

She likewise couldn't understand. Clearly, Lu Ding was monstrously powerful. Her holding everyone back from going was out of fear they'd go die for nothing. Ye Jun could fight and flee if he lost. If they lost, they couldn't flee.

They didn't have Ye Jun's methods.

She had saved them, so why did they still treat her this way?

She Shilan sighed and flew into the Thunder Roar Hall.

Inside the Thunder Roar Hall.

The instant they entered, everyone was shifted to a different location.

Lu Ding alone.

He was shifted to a pitch-dark space.

There was nothing around, just utter blackness.

Lu Ding scanned his surroundings. "Where the hell did this send me?"

"Is this still the Thunder Roar Hall?"

He still wanted to catch a turtle in a jar, he still had the Third Sovereign to kill, and that beauty-saving giant-sword brat wasn't dealt with yet either.

Why had they tossed him into this pitch-black place?

The moment his voice fell, the sound of rattling chains.

Accompanying a voice that rose as if amplified across the dark space, it sounded out, "I never expected that in this barren land, there still remains an innate human race like you. Truly, heaven has not abandoned me."
