I am grinding experience in another world

Watching the rapidly snapping strands of blood vessels, Luo Ding’s expression was a blend of a smile and a sneer.

“Dare to violate the contractual decree? Aren’t you afraid of the Yin Fire Burning Heart?”

Chen Mu glanced at his feet, where a mass of grayish-white, cold flame was surging out from beneath.

He stomped his foot indifferently, activating the Nine-Life Tribulation Splitting Technique.

Poof!

The grayish-white Yin Fire was immediately extinguished and disappeared.

Could he really so easily escape the backlash of the contract?

Luo Ding’s eyebrows raised at once.

Is it some kind of secret technique to bear tribulation?

He slowly shook his head.

The Holy Heart Institute has been recruiting Daoist soldiers for the Upper Court for years, signing countless contracts. Many disaster-blocking secret techniques have been heard of, but ninety-nine percent are useless.

The Yin Fire comes from the Luofu Daoist Ancestor; only the power of another Chimaera can withstand the backlash from a Chimaera!

So, it’s some kind of treasure containing the power of a Chimaera!

A good item!

Luo Ding’s eyes moved slightly, glancing at the silver-black mist enveloping the surroundings outside the house.

Quite a few tricks.

“Hand it over, the treasure that helped you fend off the Yin Fire Burning Heart.” He looked at Chen Mu with a faint smile: “Cooperate obediently, and I might spare your life.”

Hmm, but whether it’s your life or the Heavenly Demon Green Man’s life, that’s uncertain.

Luo Ding looked at Chen Mu with a tepid smile.

Spare my life?

Do you think I’m that foolish!

Chen Mu let out a cold snort.

A black Moon Blade and a pale White Bone Shield suddenly appeared above his head, spinning rapidly, and a beam of black and white divine light shot towards Luo Ding.

Luo Ding’s eyebrows immediately raised.

“Outer Cultivation Treasure?”

“What a pity…”

Luo Ding’s heart skipped a beat like a drum, and from his brow center shot out a beam of silver divine light.

Bam!

The Yin Yang Qi Divine Light was instantly shattered and destroyed.

“It’s useless,” Luo Ding said calmly.

“I’ve practiced the ‘Holy Heart Scripture’ for sixty years. Though I haven’t fully mastered the Yama Sacred Heart, I’ve gained this Breaking Technique Divine Light, which can counter myriad divine skills.”

“Your treasure is marvelous, yet useless. Surrender obediently.”

Luo Ding’s face was indifferent, utterly disregarding Chen Mu.

Merely a little Daoist soldier.

He’s not Yuan Zhen.

Chen Mu’s pupils trembled.

Since accidentally absorbing the Dragon Ball Spirit Machine and transforming into a magic treasure, this Yin Yang Qi Divine Power has been almost invincible, and now it was so easily broken?!

“Damn it! I shouldn’t have come back to the mountain so soon!” He cursed inwardly.

“I have to fight for my life; otherwise, I fear I might perish here today!”

Chen Mu gritted his teeth, and the Divine Fetus in his brow center’s secret acupoint thumped as the five Ghosts Bag at his waist quietly opened.

Carry Mountains!

Candle Dragon!

With the assistance of the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain, tens of thousands of Ghosts were teleported out of thin air, suddenly appearing above the thatched hut.

The silver-black mist surrounding the wooden house was becoming more overwhelming.

Roar!

Amidst a muffled roar mixed with countless ghostly wails, a jet-black flood dragon, covered in eerie silvery patterns, burst out from the mist.

“Stubborn and resistant!”

Luo Ding glared at Chen Mu with displeasure.

Why not surrender quietly? With such commotion, what if it attracts Yuan Zhen?

Recalling being heavily wounded by Yuan Zhen’s spiritual treasure a few days ago, Luo Ding became increasingly displeased.

He glanced at the massive black dragon charging towards him.

Is this what you rely on?

Ha!

“In that case, let me plunge you into utter despair.”

He chuckled softly, casting a malicious glance at Chen Mu.

Haha!

Breaking Technique Divine Light!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

A barrage of silver divine lights shot out from his brow, flying like a rain of arrows towards the Candle Dragon Dharma Body.

Having done this, he turned to savor Chen Mu’s expression of despair.

But as he turned halfway, out of the corner of his eye he noticed, the beams of divine light had entered the black Candle Dragon’s body, like pebbles tossed into a pond, creating ripples…

Then nothing further happened.

As if extinguished by a vast ocean, the Breaking Technique Divine Light had no effect whatsoever?!

Luo Ding: “…”

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

This is the Breaking Technique Divine Light urged by the Yama Sacred Heart, capable of breaking all secret supernatural powers, how can it be so? !

Before he could collect himself, the Candle Dragon Dharma Form had already rushed forward, opening its maw wide, swallowing Luo Ding whole.

And that was not the end of it.

The silver-black Candle Dragon Dharma Body swung its head, swiftly soared into the sky, and sucked the Emerald Green Flying Cicada that attempted to escape into its mouth. It kept gliding around, vigilantly watching for any unusual movements.

Chen Mu also tightened his spirit, fully utilizing his Truthful Listening Divine Power to probe the surroundings, just waiting for Luo Ding to appear, so he could strike once more.

But after waiting a long while, the summit of Weizhi Peak remained calm and quiet.

The previously arrogant Luo Ding had not shown up again.

Just… just like that?

Chen Mu was a bit perplexed.

No way.

You, Luo Ding, the head of the Capital Institute’s Holy Heart Institute, are just gone like that?

What a hasty demise!

Unconvinced, Chen Mu reached his hand into the Candle Dragon Dharma Body’s mouth and rummaged around a few times, but caught nothing.

Feeling the overwhelming vital energy that the Yama Feasting Divine Power was feeding back, Chen Mu finally confirmed. Just now, the arrogant Luo Ding was indeed swallowed whole by the Candle Dragon Dharma Body imbued with Yama Feasting Divine Power.

Tsk!

Breaking Technique Divine Light?

Not much to boast about!

Putting on such an arrogant front, startled this old Taoist.

…

Eight hundred miles southeast of Nine Peaks Mountain, in a certain valley.

The swirling mist within the valley quickly converged towards the center, transforming into a half-meter tall… little old man in the blink of an eye.

Green Barbarian looked at his body, barely taller than a yellow dog, and his green eyebrows bristled with rage.

“Luo Ding, whose side are you on exactly?!”

“Didn’t you say it was foolproof? And what happened? I just lost a third of my demon spirits again!”

“If this goes on, I might lose my life before I even succeed in possession!” Green Barbarian shouted angrily in frustration.

Not far away, a heart emitting a scarlet glow floated in mid-air.

The black blood vessels covering its surface branched and extended like tree branches, weaving into a net-like human shape in just a few breaths.

Flesh and bones quickly grew, filling the gaps in the blood vessel network. In just a quarter of an hour, it completely transformed into a vigorous old man with snow-white hair, none other than Luo Ding.

“Shut up!” Luo Ding frowned and scolded, his white hair growing quickly, lengthening to cover his naked body.

Even he hadn’t expected things to be so unsuccessful this time.

Yuan Zhen mastering the Five Rams Furnace was acceptable, but a Daoist Soldier having a way to resist the contract’s backlash?

And possessing such ruthless and bizarre secret techniques. Even now, there were still faint sounds of ghostly wailing lingering in his mind.

“Thankfully, I left the Yama Sacred Heart here in advance, otherwise, I might have truly perished at Weizhi Peak!”

Luo Ding couldn’t help but clench his fists.

After a long while, his mood gradually calmed down.

“Taking a large number of Heart Nourishing Pills in a short period indeed has some side effects.” His eyes flickered.

He had always acted with careful planning, which allowed him to firmly control the Holy Heart Institute for decades.

“I must quickly return to Thunder Storage Creek and temper myself with thunder.” Luo Ding made up his mind.

“Don’t glare at me.” He turned to Green Barbarian.

“I haven’t been idle these days staying at Nine Peaks Mountain—they indeed have a few weak spots in the Mountain Protection Magical Barrier, and I’ve laid some hidden traps too.”

“As long as we join forces with your family’s Demon Saint, these small flaws can have a big effect, enough to collapse the Mountain Protection Magical Barrier.”

“Rest assured, I said I’d help you take Nine Peaks Mountain, and I will see it through to the end.” Luo Ding assured earnestly.

This wasn’t just for the Holy Heart Pill, but also for revenge.

He still remembered the grudge against Yuan Zhen wounding him heavily.

And as for that Little Daoist Soldier, when the time comes, he would surely deal with him harshly!

He inwardly snorted coldly.

About to continue soothing Green Barbarian, he looked up to see the other staring at him in horror.

Before Luo Ding could ask, Green Barbarian quickly dispersed into streams of mist, fleeing in different directions!

Luo Ding’s heart skipped a beat, and he looked down immediately.

Only to find an invisible flame, showing up at his chest somehow.

Buzz!

A gray-white archway abruptly emerged not far behind him, a black dragon suddenly flying out from the Stone Gate.

Its pitch-black mouth spat out, and silvery-black smoke suddenly enveloped Luo Ding’s entire body.

Luo Ding’s pupils contracted into needles, and his heart hardened instantly.

Bang!

With a loud explosion, his entire body shattered abruptly, several masses of flesh glowing red flying out from his chest, quickly breaking out in all directions.

But not far, they were all caught by the silvery-black mist covering the small valley.

A few inconspicuous short screams rose amidst the Ghosts’ howls, and they vanished without a trace.

Chen Mu walked out of the Ghost Gate, once again utilizing Luo Ding’s vital energy to cast the Nightmare Victory Spell.

After repeatedly confirming that there were no people connected to the qi, Chen Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“I knew it wouldn’t be that simple.” He snorted coldly to himself.

These years, not a single Qi Cultivator he encountered wasn’t as cunning as a fox; there was no way Luo Ding would just die like that.

Thankfully, the Nightmare Victory Spell worked.

By using the vital energy devoured through Yama’s Feast to cast the Cursing Method for location, and then using the Ghost Gate to instantly teleport, he took Luo Ding by surprise.

“If I had let this old guy escape, who knows how many consequences it would lead to.” Chen Mu smiled smugly, then looked towards the depths of the valley.

There, the Giant Spirit Divine, clad in dark red armor, suddenly appeared, still firmly holding several long snake-like white mists.

Without a careful look, he controlled the Giant Spirit Divine to casually toss them into the Candle Dragon Dharma Body’s mouth.

With a few crunches, the Candle Dragon Dharma Body imbued with Yama Feasting Divine Power easily devoured them clean.

Once again using the Truthful Listening Divine Power to scan the surroundings of the valley three times to confirm no odd qi was missed.

Chen Mu waved his hand, retrieving the ghost mist all over the air, turned around, and walked into the Ghost Gate, returning to Weizhi Peak.
