Chapter 538 Deal with Them One by One

Wu Liduo pondered for a long time after hearing the words, but still couldn’t judge Ding Ning’s real strength. The four great elders had gone to catch Ding Ning for such a long time, yet there had been no news of them, which made Wu Liduo feel increasingly uneasy.

He turned his head and looked at Zhai Ying, who looked as if nothing had happened. His heart was full of anger and helplessness. Although the Demon Cult was a small sect, and the Corpse-driven Sect was a big one, he felt very angry at Zhai Ying’s indifferent reaction.

“Because of the spy you sent to our sect, who was one of the grandsons from your sect, our current Sect Master has been killed, and now, we’re taking a risk coming to Yan Jing. Damn it. The city is under the watch of the martial marquis. You’re trying to bringing our Demon Cult into big trouble!” Wu Liduo thought to himself.

However, he didn’t know that when Zhai Ying noticed his grieved eyes, he also felt very depressed. “I had no other choice, ok?

“I just want to find out how your sect raises the Brain-eating Gu, yet I’ve lost one grandson, and maybe I’ll lose my own life here.

“It’s all Old Weirdo Chixia’s fault. As the elder of the Holy Medical Family and the expert of the Real Martial Arts Realm, why do you make things difficult for a small sect like our Corpse-driven Sect?” Zhai Ying thought in secret.

He wanted to explain to Wu Liduo, but when he thought of the calm face and the warning tone of Old Weirdo Chixia, he felt miserable and couldn’t utter his bitterness. He really couldn’t afford to offend the people of the Holy Medical Family.

At the thought that once the matter was revealed, he would have to face the great pressure from the National Warrior’s Mansion, his legs began twitching and his face was full of bitterness. He felt like he was a mere nobody involved in the fight of the big figures.

…

The Gui Street, at this moment, was like a real street of ghosts. Everyone on the street fell asleep strangely.

Ding Ning shook his head, trying to get rid of the faint feeling of dizziness, but he was secretly shocked. Miles-crossing Oblivion Drug—what a strong drug that could paralyze the central nervous system of people.

Even with his strong willpower, he still felt sleepy, and it made him confused that Yagyuu Asamayu looked as if nothing had happened and she had not been affected by the drug at all.

But at this moment, he had no time to think too much. The four unexpected old men gave him a strong sense of danger. After he tensed his muscles all over his body and was ready to take action, he said in a deep voice, “Who are you? What do you want to do?”

“Who are we? Haha, you killed Zhai Fang, and also killed our Sect Master, Wu Tianxie. How could you not know who we are?”

A sinister-looking old man cackled, with undisguised killing intent in his eyes.

Ding Ning’s heart skipped a beat. It turned out that those people were from the Demon Cult. He didn’t know how they found him and pretended that he didn’t understand their words. “What are you talking about? Who is Zhai Fang? Who is Wu Tianxie? I don’t know them at all. Did you mistake me for someone else?”

“Mistake you for someone else? Tut-tut, do you think we are fools? The curse of life is on you. Who else could it be but you? You wanted to deny it at this point? It’s ridiculous.”

A red-nosed old man stared at Ding Ning with a mocking look in his eyes as if he were looking at a dead person.

“The curse of life? What is the curse of life?”

Ding Ning’s heart sank. He remembered that Zhai Fang did use the skill of the curse of life at that time, but he couldn’t find any trace of it. Thus, at that time, he thought that Zhai Fang was bragging. He did not expect that there was actually such a thing. No wonder these people could find him. Now he was in big trouble.

“The curse of life is…”

The red-nosed old man wanted to explain to Ding Ning patiently, but was interrupted by an impatient old man who had kept silent all the time with an elm-seed-shaped mark at the corners of his eyes. “Eighth Brother, don’t forget what a place we’re in. Hurry up and finish our job and then retreat. So, save your words.”

The red-nosed old man’s heart trembled, and he immediately said coldly, “Kid, if you give us the Spiritual Gu King, I will consider letting you die in one piece. Otherwise, I’ll feed your body to my Gus.”

As soon as he finished speaking, powerful auras emitted from the four old men and locked Ding Ning up.

“Spiritual Gu King, are you talking about this?”

Ding Ning felt like he was stuck in a mud swamp, and it even became strenuous for him to speak. He reached out his hand with fear on his face, revealing the Ancient Magic Mosquito in his palm.

“Yes, that’s it!”

The four old men felt that the moment the Magic Mosquito appeared, the Natal Spiritual Gus in their bodies were shivering with fear. They were immediately delighted and their eyes gleamed with greed. The red-nosed old man couldn’t help rushing forward and reaching toward the Magic Mosquito.

“Wait a minute, Eighth Brother, maybe it’s a trap! Be careful!”

Seeing that Ding Ning suddenly threw the Magic Mosquito to the red-nosed old man, the old man with the elm-seed-shaped mark suddenly felt very uneasy in his heart and cried out in shock.

When the red-nosed old man heard the warning, he suddenly became alert and retreated backward rapidly with a shiver.

However, no matter how fast he was, he could not be faster than the Magic Mosquito. A beam of red light flashed, and the red-nosed old man let out a shrill scream. His whole body began to shrink strangely as if he had been dehydrated, and in the blink of an eye, he was turned into a dry corpse.

Ding Ning was shocked. He had not expected that the Magic Mosquito would evolve again after swallowing the Natal Spiritual Gu of Wu Tianxie last time. Now it took no more than two seconds for the mosquito to suck up a person’s essential blood.

“Bang!”

The red-nosed old man fell straight to the ground, and dozens of poisonous insects climbed out from his body and fled in all directions.

The Magic Mosquito seemed to be particularly interested in those insects. In no way would it allow those delicious insects to escape. As beams of dazzling red light flashed, the dozens of poisonous insects were turned into dried corpses.

The Magic Mosquito was satisfied and flew back to Ding Ning’s palm, jumping constantly on it as if it were asking for praise.

There was no sadness on the faces of the three old men. They just looked at Ding Ning with great fear, as if they were not familiar with the red-nosed old man.

After the three of them looked at each other, the big-mouthed old man who had been the first to speak retreated backward instead of moving forward. He muttered some words, and a black light spot suddenly flashed away in the night.

Ding Ning exclaimed secretly that things became bad. He realized that this old man was calling for reinforcements. It was hard for him to deal with these three old men, and he would be in danger if the reinforcements arrived.

If he were alone, he would be confident to escape safely. However, now, as there were so many fainted people on the Gui Street, he was worried that the old men would kill those people after he fled away.

Therefore, he had no choice but to draw the three old men to another place and defeat them one by one. Through spiritual contact, he told Yagyuu Asamayu to find an opportunity to hide, while he rushed to the big-mouthed old man regardless of his own safety and shouted in grief and indignation, “I’ll fight you to death!”

“Boy, you’re courting death!”

With the lesson from the death of the red-nosed man, the three old men no longer dared to be careless. As Spiritual Energy surged around them and formed a protective light shield, they surrounded Ding Ning and charged at him.

Ding Ning complained secretly in his heart. The cultivation level of these three old men was higher than his, and it was difficult for him to deal with any of them. Who had thought that they were so shameless to attack him together without hesitation?

“Boom!” There was a loud booming sound.

Ding Ning and the big-mouthed old man collided with each other head-on, and his whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

The big-mouthed old man’s face was full of confusion. How could the guy who had killed Wu Tianxie be so weak? It was unreasonable.

“Oh no, we’ve been fooled. This kid wants to run away, Sixth Brother. I’ll go ahead with Seventh Brother to stop him, and you go after him. Don’t let him run away.”

Seeing that Ding Ning took advantage of the palm force, rolled in the air decisively, and disappeared into the darkness, the old man with the elm-seed-shaped mark changed his expression and quickly shouted at the big-mouthed old man. He and the sinister-looking old man chased after Ding Ning from his right and left respectively.

“Got it, Fifth Brother.”

The big-mouthed old man nodded without hesitation and went straight after Ding Ning.

“There’s no need to chase after me. I’m coming back!”

Just as the Fifth Elder and the Seventh Elder had left for him and the Sixth Elder was focusing on chasing behind him, Ding Ning suddenly went back and punched toward the Sixth Elder with a chuckle.

“You’re courting death!”

The Sixth Elder sneered and swung his palm. He didn’t take Ding Ning’s attack seriously in his heart. “Do you think that I can’t take you down on my own?”

“Bang!”

The moment the fist and the palm met, a terrifying and overwhelming force shattered the elder’s body-protection spiritual aura, and his internal organs were displaced. Blood gushed out of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with horror. “How was it possible? You’re an expert at the Peak of the Sky Martial Arts Realm?”

“Answer…”

Ding Ning smiled lightly, but he still rushed forward to the elder quickly like a shadow and punched him hard. “You’re wrong!”

“Ha!”

The Sixth Elder was not willing to be killed without any struggle. He rolled over on the ground despite his injuries and roared loudly. A small cyan snake suddenly came out of his body and shot at Ding Ning like an arrow.

He didn’t expect the snake to injure Ding Ning. He just wanted to take the opportunity to escape, meet other people, and buy himself some time to heal his injuries.

Ding Ning didn’t even look at the escaping Sixth Elder and the little green snake that came at him. The Ancient Magic Mosquito flew to the little green snake happily without his order. In the blink of an eye, it turned the snake into a dried-up corpse. Ding Ning shouted to stop Yagyuu Asamayu from showing up and rushed to Luo Zhicheng as fast as he could to check his pulse.

He let out a sigh of relief at the result. The drug just paralyzed Luo Zhicheng’s nerves and didn’t cause any harm to his body, only that even if he woke up, he would still be in paralysation for half an hour. Thus, in a short period of time, Ding Ning could not count on him to help.

Nevertheless, it would be very helpful if he could wake him up. After all, with his status, Luo Zhicheng could call some reinforcements over even if he could not move.

As a few silver lights flashed, several silver needles pierced into Luo Zhicheng’s head, stimulating his central nervous system and waking him up by force.

When Luo Zhicheng woke up, Ding Ning told him how they had been attacked quickly. “I don’t have more time. They are coming at me. I’m going to draw them away now. Hurry up and call someone to help those who are fainted.”

Luo Zhicheng’s face was livid. He hadn’t expected that as an expert at the Master Level, he not only failed to protect Ding Ning but also had to rely on Ding Ning to draw away the enemies, which made him feel extremely ashamed.

However, he knew which matter to handle first, so he immediately took out his mobile phone and began to call for help.

There was a sign of someone breaking through the air in the distance, and Ding Ning immediately turned around and ran forward to attract the attention of the enemy. He also ordered Yagyuu Asamayu, who was eager to sneak up on the enemy, not to act rashly in a strict tone. He also told her to protect Luo Zhicheng. Whether they could escape safely that day all depended on Luo Zhicheng.

He knew that there were eight great elders in the Demon Cult. Since the big-mouthed old man had sent out a signal asking for help, it meant that there were more than four of them here.

Even if the Old Sect Master of the Demon Cult didn’t come, he would still be in great danger if all of the eight great elders had come.

The reason why he could hurt the Sixth Elder with one punch was not that he was more powerful than the elder, but that he used the first punch move of the Barbarian Physical Exercise Technique.

Although he hadn’t practiced the move to perfection, it was his strongest punch, because this punch mobilized the power of every cell in his body. It was the punch with the most powerful explosive force.

However, although this punch was powerful, he had to gather his strength in a very short period, and the move would consume a lot of energy. Thus, he could only give three such punches at most.

In the face of a life-and-death crisis, he calmed down. He had to remain calm at the moment. Since he could not defeat the enemy with his strength, he could only apply some stratagems. While holding off the enemies and waiting for the arrival of the reinforcements, he tried to take his enemies down one by one.

While keeping spitting blood, the Sixth Elder ran forward crazily. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him; it was the Seventh Elder, who asked in surprise, “What’s the matter, Sixth Brother?”

“Alas! Don’t mention it. I was tricked by that kid. Hurry up and guard me. I want to heal… Ah…”

Before the Sixth Elder could finish his words, his expression changed dramatically and he let out a miserable scream.

“Sixth Brother, are you alright?”

The Seventh Elder was shocked. He thought that the Sixth Elder’s injury had worsened, so he hurried forward to hold him. However, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his back, and he began losing his vigor rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he had been turned into a mummy.
