Su Zhiqin watched this provocative scene with blood streaming from her eyes, roaring, "You will die a horrible death!!!!"
She released the string. The golden arrow shot forth, its rumbling power churning and shattering everything around it. Space fractured inch by inch, the Five Elents descended into chaos, and turbulent flows erupted.
It was an arrow aid directly at Lu Ding's head.
A flash of golden light streaked past.
It was almost impossible to see clearly.
Only a dull *thud* was heard.
It was incredibly fast!
It struck Lu Ding right between his eyebrows.
His towering, cloud-piercing form was forcibly pushed backward several steps by the imnse force of the arrow.
The terrifying power behind it was self-evident.
If it had landed anywhere else on Lu Ding's body, it likely would have punched a hole clean through.
Unfortunately, she had chosen the hardest spot—his forehead—and it was also protected by [Copper Head Iron Brain].
Even so, it still managed to redden the spot between Lu Ding's brows.
It stung a bit; there was definitely so sensation there.
The golden arrow dissipated, revealing a red dot on his forehead where the skin was almost broken.
Lu Ding reached up and rubbed the spot.
"Pretty painful, but not as bad as Dong Tai's."
"Impossible!!!!"
"How is this possible!!!!"
Staggering, Su Zhiqin's emotions had already shattered completely.
This Heavenly Hatred Bow technique was one of her absolute trump cards. Under normal circumstances, she definitely wouldn't play her trump card right from the start.
However, Lu Ding's combat power was simply too outrageous!
After transforming into this terrifying physical giant, Su Zhiqin would believe it if soone said he could chase the sun or pluck stars from the sky.
Therefore, after witnessing the Su Family mbers and her own younger siblings and brothers being brutally killed by Lu Ding one after another, she resolutely chose to directly reveal her trump card.
In a desperate gamble, even if she couldn't defeat Lu Ding, she wanted to tear a few pieces of flesh from him.
The result...
Exhausting all her strength only yielded a "pretty painful"?
And it was "not as bad as Dong Tai's"?
Of course there was a difference! What was Dong Tai's cultivation level, and what was hers?
At this mont, Su Zhiqin could barely stand, only forcing her body not to collapse. That single bow shot had already drained too much of her condition. With that one failed strike, she basically had no more fighting power left against Lu Ding.
She couldn't possibly turn and run either.
She could only look up at Lu Ding. "If you could spare..."
*BOOM!!!!!*
The longsword in Lu Ding's hand was suddenly hurled at her. He couldn't be bothered to listen to her nonsense; she wasn't worthy!
This sword strike could have pinned this Su Zhiqin to the ground.
But because it was too large,
it simply smashed her to pieces mid-air, scattering flesh and blood across the sky. She died a miserable death on the spot, unable to finish her final sentence.
The longsword was embedded diagonally in the ground.
Lu Ding walked over, pulled out the longsword, and his voice followed. "Stating absolutely impossible conditions is just a waste of ti."
Spare her?
Lu Ding had his own judgnt.
"Zhiqin!!!!"
Soone shouted loudly.
After checking internally and finding his Spiritual Energy reserves were running low, Lu Ding turned around expressionlessly.
He thought to himself, 'If I use it sparingly, I can probably fight one more battle.'
He saw a man wearing the work uniform of a Review Office leader, accompanied by several Review Office staff mbers, arriving at the location.
This man was precisely Su Zhiqin's husband, one of the Ministers of the Hanjing Review Office's Second Court, Sixth Departnt—Xue Kai!!!
He looked at the pile of minced at on the ground, emanating his wife's aura.
Xue Kai walked over with unsteady steps.
Trembling, he reached out a hand as if to touch it, but stopped midway. He slowly raised his head to look at Lu Ding, who was still in his [Dharma Form], and asked through gritted teeth, forcing down his emotions, "Why!?"
"Why, after receiving the Review Office's call, didn't you cooperate!?"
"Why, after receiving the Review Office's call, did you continue your actions!?"
"This matter clearly requires more detailed procedures and formalities!!"
"Why did you rashly enforce the law!!!"
This man was clever, and his words were very asured. Even with his wife dead, it didn't greatly affect his train of thought.
The mont he opened his mouth, it was an official, public interrogation.
Lu Ding ford a hand seal to dispel the [Dharma Form], retrieved his longsword, and replied, "Couldn't hear clearly. Bad signal. Who knows what they were saying over there."
He landed.
The *Wei Yang* (Goat) thod from the Twelve Zodiac thods, [Refine Essence into Energy], was currently helping Lu Ding recover Spiritual Energy rapidly and silently.
Although recovery was possible while the [Dharma Form] was active,
after fusing with his own [Anomalous Phenonon] to achieve this personal manifestation, the consumption of the [Dharma Form] was too great, and recovery couldn't keep up.
His current state was the fastest way to recover, akin to fast-charging.
"Good, good, good. 'Couldn't hear clearly'—what a fine excuse!"
Xue Kai said through clenched teeth. As a Minister of the Hanjing Review Office's Second Court, Sixth Departnt, he had professional integrity!
Generally, he wouldn't abuse his authority and could basically be fair and impartial.
But now his wife was dead. He was human too; he had emotions and desires, his own feelings!
Today, he was really going to be willful for once!
Moreover, Lu Ding's matter was also official business!
As long as the official procedures were followed, no one could say anything about him!
At most, he'd need to recuse himself afterward, but that was a matter for later!
Xue Kai displayed his credentials. "Standing before you now is one of the Ministers of the Hanjing Review Office's Second Court, Sixth Departnt—Xue Kai!"
"I have now received a report suspecting you of abusing your authority, establishing private punishnt, violating enforcent regulations, plus an additional charge of disobeying Review Office notification and refusing to cooperate. Procedures, formalities, regulations allow you the right to speak."
"Now, do you have anything to say!?"
"If you do, the recording device will docunt the situation here."
"If not, please hand over your shoulder insignias and credentials, and co with back to the bureau to accept investigation!"
As he spoke, the several Review Office staff mbers following him stepped forward in unison, surrounding Lu Ding.
The atmosphere strongly suggested that if he dared to resist or utter a single word of refusal, they would apprehend him imdiately!
Lu Ding glanced at these people. In their cultivation level configuration, he saw their true intentions.
Their cultivation levels were too low!
Since this man before him was Su Zhiqin's husband and had co to help the Su Family, he must know about Lu Ding's strength.
But the people he brought... if they were to arrest ordinary Fifth Restriction Qi Refiners, they might be effective, but to arrest him...
This was clearly a trap.
If Lu Ding made a move, these few people wouldn't have the slightest ability to resist.
At that point, the charge of resisting the law and the charge of resisting arrest and injuring Review Office staff would not be on the sa level.
Fine, fine, fine. So this is the ga we're playing.
"What are you looking at? Behave! If you have sothing to say, say it. If not, let's go. Why drag your feet!"
A young Review Office investigator, eager for rit and impatient by nature, spoke up.
As he talked, he actually seed to want to step forward and push Lu Ding with his hand.
Didn't he know Lu Ding was incredibly powerful?
Of course he knew, but so what?
No matter how powerful an investigator was, he was still an investigator. When faced with Review Office personnel, he'd still be helpless. Regulations were supre, and the consequences of resisting arrest were not just serious—they were severe.
The re thought of taking away such a formidable, outstanding prodigy, a figure of great renown, and having the charges stick...
His work record would gain a glorious, indelible entry!
This young investigator couldn't help himself.
It was like when Xiang Yu committed suicide by the Wu River, and those soldiers sward forward to fight over his corpse.
Even a single leg could allow a soldier to establish a prominent family line lasting a thousand years!
