......
The three glanced at him.
Dou Tingyu forced a dry laugh: "Haha."
"Is One-Eyed Five your daddy? Why praise it so much?"
She then gave him a thoroughly disdainful look from head to toe: "Then your mom's genes must be incredibly strong to produce sothing that at least resembles a human."
Cui Zaimin's emotional volcano erupted at this mont.
For so reason.
Every ti this Dou Tingyu opened her mouth, he just couldn't help it!!!!!
It took several deep breaths to suppress his emotions.
Couldn't be bothered to retort!
Better not lose composure and affect the plan.
In the surging scene below.
The speed at which Lu Ding's chains were breaking kept accelerating.
Hidden in the darkness, One-Eyed Five saw this wasn't working......
It decided to make a personal appearance.
Light arrived - red, greasy.
Five figures lined up, wearing bamboo hats and straw raincoats, the lead humanoid holding an eye-shaped staff.
The red light emanated from this staff.
Step by step..... step by step.....
They approached Lu Ding.
The red-glowing staff transford into shackles of non-tallic material to reinforce his restraints.
Lu Ding looked levelly at the five monsters before him.
For a mont, he felt sothing familiar but couldn't place it.
Until the lead creature lifted its head, revealing an ugly face under the hat with a single eye.
When four more eyeless monsters erged behind it.
Lu Ding finally matched the information.
"One-Eyed Five."
Recorded in "What the Master Would Not Discuss":
"In Zhejiang there were five strange ghosts, four completely blind with only one having a single eye. The ghosts relied on it to see, called 'Mr. One-Eyed Five'. During plague years, the five ghosts would travel together......"
The general aning was.
There was once a ghost group called the Five Strange Ghosts - five ghosts where four had no eyes, and the one that did only had a single eye.
Yet their vision was shared among all five.
After two and a half years of practice, they decided to debut by harming people and stealing souls.
Their thod of harming people was peculiar - by sniffing.
Being sniffed by one ghost would make you ill.
Sniffed by all five, and you'd die.
Moreover, these creatures preyed on the weak.
They wouldn't sniff kind people because of their goodness.
They wouldn't sniff the greatly fortunate because of their heavenly blessings.
They wouldn't sniff the extrely wicked because of their evil.
They specifically targeted those diocre ones to tornt.
Isn't this just bullying honest people!!?
Hearing its origins exposed.
The one-eyed ghost showed no surprise, speaking human words: "Good you know us, Great Han's Qi Refiner, we like your kind best......"
If not for hearing about targeting Great Han's top talent.
One-Eyed Five would never casually help humans.
Back then, it had rely eaten so ordinary souls when Great Han's 749 Bureau hunted it down, barely escaping to Wei Gao's territory.
Yet ended up captured by Wei Gao and imprisoned till now.
If not for Great Han's 749 Bureau pushing ghosts too hard, it wouldn't be in this state.
So..... opposing Great Han was its bounden duty!
The single eye stared intently at Lu Ding, yet detected not the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Coupled with his body and mind still flawless despite the whipping.
One-Eyed Five curiously asked: "Since you know , aren't you afraid? After all, you're only at the Earth Observation realm."
Confident words, because even Heavenly Perception cultivators might struggle against them.
Lu Ding found this laughable: "I bear great fortune and destiny, serving the nation to protect ordinary people - suprely virtuous. Against demonic criminals, I employ suprely wicked thods. Why would I fear you!?"
"Why don't you consider whether you should fear !?"
These words struck like a club, forcing One-Eyed Five back several steps.
Shock evident in its single eye - such strong emotional expression could rival humans.
At this mont, One-Eyed Five's horror.
Matched when it learned that eating a few people in Great Han warranted a death sentence.
No!
Perhaps even greater!
Because it had never revealed its true core ability.
The personality targeting was just a smokescreen, though not entirely false.
But its true core ability was exactly as Lu Ding described.
One-Eyed Five examined the human before it, asking cautiously with trepidation: "How did you know!?"
Lu Ding hated chatter, but this One-Eyed Five was interesting.
He'd nearly broken free.
Who knew it could add shackles.
No matter, just needed to gather strength for one final break.
Besides, it lacked real power - couldn't even scratch him, let alone kill him.
Like talking?
Then learn why villains die from monologuing.
Facing its confusion, Lu Ding slightly raised his chin: "None of your damn business."
Had he answered One-Eyed Five's question.
The monster might suspect deception or lies.
Instead.
Lu Ding's boldness exceeded its expectations.
This conversely convinced One-Eyed Five - this human was abnormal!!!
He knew sothing.
But wouldn't say.
One-Eyed Five grew furious.
Pointing a clawed finger at Lu Ding: "You'll talk! You'll definitely talk!!!"
"You think knowing my thods makes you invincible?!"
"Wrong, utterly wrong! What you ntioned is my core, but a lush tree isn't just its trunk."
An eerie laugh ca from One-Eyed Five: "If magic can't touch you, techniques can't enter, we'll grind you down - a year, a decade, even centuries......"
"Don't hope for outside rescue - ti here flows at my will."
"Don't dream of secretly cultivating to advance - ti here is false, only sensation real. Even Heavenly Perception cultivators can't endure hahahahaha......"
As the creepy laughter rose.
It was instantly drowned by Lu Ding's domineering laugh: "Hahaha wonderful!! You're amazing!!"
His eyes shone with excitent at One-Eyed Five: "Let's agree beforehand - I won't call for help, and you don't run, deal?!"
Lu Ding deeply thanked nature's bounty in his heart.
Haven't even collected Tai Island's Scholar Stripe-Special yet, and here cos One-Eyed Five.
And such a powerful version too.
The heavens truly favored him - finding endless ways to bless him.
Not just spoon-feeding.
This was planting rice straight in his mouth.
He dared not imagine what rewards killing this One-Eyed Five would bring.
If even Heavenly Perception cultivators can't withstand it.
Could this be trash skill!?
One-Eyed Five's laughter cut off abruptly under Lu Ding's piercing gaze.
That look was familiar - intimately familiar.
It was how One-Eyed Five looked at delicious feasts.
This Qi Refiner's current expression mirrored One-Eyed Five's past monts.
But not fully!
Because his gaze was more unrestrained - that undisguised excitent's penetration seed to see right through it.
The madness within.
Made One-Eyed Five feel Lu Ding wanted to tear it apart, chop it up, and devour it whole to prevent others from stealing.
Too absurd!
Too absurd!!!
What's wrong with this human!?
True nace needs no loudness, but humiliation always amplifies voice.
"Damn human! Damned Great Han Qi Refiner! Stop looking at like that!!!"
A black mist-covered palm struck Lu Ding.
Producing a tallic clang.
All force dispersed by [White Snake Shakes Scales].
Followed by relentless attacks that didn't hurt, only amused.
Outside.
Dou Tingyu laughed loudest seeing this.
Her personality was bold, independent, self-reliant with strong individuality.
Naturally she cared little about others' opinions.
So she said outright: "Cui Zaimin, look! Your daddy's throwing a tantrum hahahahaha......"
"Can't even break his defense~~~"
True, One-Eyed Five couldn't penetrate Lu Ding's defense now.
But Dou Tingyu's words shattered Cui Zaimin's - completely.
He'd rely defended One-Eyed Five once, yet Dou Tingyu kept calling it his father!!
Infuriated beyond control.
Face reddening, he exploded: "Your father! Your father!! That's your father!! Gae sae Kki........."
After the tirade.
Dou Tingyu calmly said: "Rebound."
So infuriating!!!
"Rebound" made Cui Zaimin feel like punching cotton.
His mind echoed with overheating warnings!
But he wasn't the only one breaking down.
One-Eyed Five was too.
Because it couldn't break Lu Ding's defense.
And this human kept laughing.
One-Eyed Five pressed close, baring fangs: "I control this situation!! This is my world!!!"
"You're shackled, you!!!!"
"You!!"
It couldn't finish.
But Lu Ding would help: "So you want my respect? You control things? Then kill ."
Glancing at his shackles.
Soon, he'd break free.
"Shackles?"
Muttering this, an arrogant expression crossed Lu Ding's face as he theatrically sang:
"Though iron~ chains bind my limbs tight, they cannot~ hold my soaring spirit~~~"
The operatic tone and contemptuous gaze stabbed One-Eyed Five's pride painfully.
Its cheeks trembled.
"My ambition~ breaks all restraints, piercing~ the clouds~~~!"
Finishing, Lu Ding taunted: "Don't understand?"
Mockingly: "Demons remain demons - should've studied more."
One-Eyed Five earned its "Mr." title.
By consuming many human souls, understanding human society far beyond ordinary monsters.
And enjoying lecturing, having taught many fiends.
Hence called Mr. One-Eyed Five - partly why it talked so much.
Loved preaching.
Lu Ding's words humiliated it again.
Knuckles cracking loudly.
"So I shouldn't underestimate you... iron chains can't restrain ambition..."
Lu Ding didn't even look properly: "And pierce~ the clouds~~~"
One-Eyed Five bristled completely: "F*** your mother!!!"
Quite cultured indeed.
Ghostly energy spread, forming a demon-head greatsword.
Gathering all strength, it leaped for a mountain-splitting overhead slash at Lu Ding.
Power...... enough!
Dare trap a dragon in a well? Face mountain-collapsing consequences!
Lu Ding looked up, vulgarity erupting: "F***!!!!"
Rooooar!!!!
The Sin Dragon roared, a deafening cry exploding black smoke skyward.
Shackles shattered completely.
Both emitted dark auras, but Lu Ding's was deeper, nobler - his style supre over One-Eyed Five!!!
The descending blade caught single-handedly.
One-Eyed Five's strength was outdated.
Now...... Lu Ding controlled the situation!!!
Dark red eyes flashed first, the dragon-echoing kick following.
Impact. Power detonated.
BOOM!!!!!!
Shockwaves rolled outward for kiloters.
Ground split and sank as One-Eyed Five rooted itself to disperse force.
Rember - this was its own spell space!!!
One kick held such power!?
"What kind of monster have I provoked!?"
The one-eyed creature gritted teeth wondering.
Instantly, its ntal limits were refreshed again.
The fractured ground.
Couldn't withstand the terrifying force - ten ters instantly powdered, hundred ters shattered to sand!!!
One-Eyed Five could no longer disperse the force, sent flying like a broken kite, tumbling uncontrollably, cratering the ground repeatedly.
Four eyeless One-Eyed Fives pounced.
Ghost-energy forms lacked detail, their rough outlines adding savagery.
Lu Ding's aura surged, black energy rising, hair standing erect, figure terrifyingly majestic - style supremacy through contrast, the roaring Tai Sui descended!!!
