042 A cursed spell brought the Ding family to their demise.
The dragon's might was so vast that even if it was just an unintentional release by the Flood Dragon King, it was enough to make most people and animals faint.
Cao Shuiwa's face was so pale that there wasn't a trace of blood in it.
He watched the bubble carrying him drift into the abyss, feeling as if his heart was being gripped tightly by a giant hand.
can not breath.
Is this one of the murderers who killed his parents?
He simply couldn't imagine whether he could take revenge in this lifetime if he relied solely on his own strength.
Fortunately, as he held the ceramic stove in his hand, he suddenly felt much more at ease.
Breathing resumed.
Cao Shuiwa looked up and met Ning Kui's gaze, who was also clinging to the cliff face.
When he stabbed Ning Kui, it wasn't because he was truly unable to distinguish right from wrong; rather, Ning Kui was the only person he could take revenge on.
"sorry...."
"Thank you...."
He said two sentences to Ning Kui in a row, then took out the ferocious God-Devouring Gu and swallowed it in one gulp.
What followed was a long wait.
"call......"
"suck......"
With each breath of the Dragon King, a human or animal fell with a scream, the wailing echoing through the abyss.
Three hours, both short and long.
It was so fleeting, it felt like just a moment ago.
The ordeal was so long that Cao Shuiwa was on the verge of losing consciousness from the pain. After swallowing the God-Devouring Gu, the Gu worm kept crawling inside his body, eager to enter the higher-level flesh and blood and devour it.
Finally, when the Dragon King took another breath, Cao Shuiwa's bubble was sucked into the abyss.
"Hahahahaha!"
Unlike the screams of others, Cao Shuiwa fell silently laughing, tears streaming from his eyes.
"Father, Mother! Your son has avenged you!"
Ning Kui watched this scene in silence, his fists clenched tightly. He was determined to kill all the evil spirits in Yugu County!
Not a single one will be spared!
The bottom of the abyss quickly returned to calm. Ning Kui took a deep breath and then left the abyss.
That dragon is probably going to go berserk soon; he has to do what he wants to do.
The amount of Yin energy he gained from the bandits' massacre of the city was terrifying.
Of the last nine bandit leaders alone, six were at the Bone Refining Realm and three at the Flesh Refining Realm.
Although the sum of these points is not enough to compare to a single evil spirit at the Inner Core stage, it still provides a full 700 Yin Qi points.
Adding the remaining 400 points after mastering the [Flying Stone] supernatural power.
This was enough for him to push his martial arts realm to the minor completion of the Flesh Refining Realm, and then push the "Raging Sea Suppressing Dragon Halberd" to the major completion.
Even if they can't overturn the entire forbidden ruins, they can still take advantage of the chaos to collect a wave of Yin energy points.
After leaving the abyss, Ning Kui quietly returned to the vicinity of the City of Humans and Animals.
The flow of spiritual energy within the entire forbidden area, which fluctuated with the Dragon King's breathing, seemed to freeze for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, an incredibly powerful aura suddenly erupted from the bottom of the abyss like a volcanic eruption.
A violent surge of spiritual energy spread outwards.
A dragon's roar shook the heavens and the earth.
"hold head high!!!!"
All the aquatic creatures within the forbidden ruins seemed to have their spines ripped out; under the boiling dragon's might, their bodies stiffened, and they plummeted straight to the bottom of the lake.
"A great opportunity!!"
Ning Kui drew two hundred-forged short swords from his waist, intending to frantically harvest Yin Qi points, when a colossal black shadow suddenly rose continuously from the bottom of the abyss.
The enormous dragon's body writhed and coiled in agony, smashing the cliffs on both sides to pieces.
Countless people and animals were crushed into a red mist of blood, which dissipated with the surging water.
The colossal body of the Flood Dragon King crawled out from the bottom of the abyss, roaring furiously to the sky: "The Ding family!!!!"
Blackish-red blood mist seeped continuously from the gaps in its scales. If any aquatic creature accidentally inhaled even a trace of it, its body would undergo a violent transformation and explode into minced meat.
Some of the treasure fish survived and were thus endowed with a trace of dragon blood, gaining sentience and embarking on cultivation.
Ning Kui lay motionless at the bottom of the lake, staring dumbfounded at the enormous monster that was five or six hundred feet long.
Even if it rolled around a few times in Yugu County, the damage it caused would be no less than that of the stone pillar that fell from the sky.
The Dragon King roared and soared into the sky, determined to see what had gotten into the Ding family that they dared to poison the tribute animals with poison.
Its terrifying, sky-covering body stirred up the chaotic waters within the forbidden ruins, blowing the old man in tortoise shell right next to Ning Kui.
Before the old man in the tortoise shell could even cry out, Ning Kui had already manipulated the water flow to pull him to his side and slashed off his ugly head with a single stroke.
Yin energy points +20. No wonder he's a traitor; truly a piece of trash.
At the Ding family residence, Ding Yuan had already served tea several times, but Li Qijue seemed oblivious to his intention to see him off, stubbornly refusing to leave.
This made him feel uneasy.
He also sent his steward out to gather information, and the news he received was that everything was peaceful outside, and many people who were unaware of the truth were even praising his righteous act of sheltering refugees.
Ding Yuan drank that pot of tea for a full three hours, and his unease grew stronger.
Just as he was about to ask the guest to leave, a deafening dragon roar suddenly erupted from the direction of Kunze Lake.
"Ding Yuan! Get out here and see me!"
A huge spray of water shot into the sky, and amidst the terrified gazes of countless people, a terrifying black dragon, five hundred feet long, spiraled into the sky.
The rolling dark clouds quickly condensed as they rolled, and the gale and thunder made them look like gods.
"Boom!!"
It flew towards Yugu County, and thick, dark clouds, as heavy as mountains, pressed down upon it, as if it were the end of the world.
Gale-force winds and torrential rains ravaged Uotani County, leaving countless people slumped to the ground, filled with despair.
Ding Yuan stood up tremblingly, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing snake-like pupils that stared intently at Li Qijue.
"You!!! What did you do?!"
Locked in by Ding Yuan's demonic gaze, Li Qijue burst into laughter: "Master Ding, do not worry. You have just gained the approval of Prime Minister Wang [who has a noble heart]. I will not let anything happen to you."
His aura was equally unrestrained, and then he charged headlong into the dark clouds that filled half the sky.
"You old mudfish, Lord Ding is a meritorious official of our human race, personally recognized by Prime Minister Wang as a man of high moral character. How dare you be so arrogant!"
He dispelled the dragon's might and sheltered the people of Yugu County from the wind and rain.
After saving the entire city's population yesterday, Li Qijue is regarded as a living bodhisattva in their hearts.
Seeing him step forward again, most of the common people, who did not know Ding Yuan's true identity, were moved and shouted, "Lord Li is invincible! Lord Ding is benevolent!"
The surging voices converged into a thunderous roar, no less imposing than the Dragon King's.
Ding Yuan's knees buckled, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud. It was all over.
He desperately wanted to tell the Dragon King that this was all slander and defamation, and that he was by no means a noble human vanguard.
He's just the Dragon King's loyal dog.
But how could his voice alone rival that of the entire city's populace?
"Have... a noble heart? A hero of the human race?" The dragon king's body weaved through the dark clouds, the intense pain filling his mind with nothing but slaughter.
If someone accuses the Ding family of betrayal, it will devour that person without hesitation.
If hundreds of thousands of people are saying it together, then the Ding family has definitely betrayed us!
"Ding family, do you think that a mere Gu worm can kill me and free you from my control?"
Do you really think humans can protect you?
The Dragon King's cold voice rang out, causing Ding Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, to burst into tears. "No, I don't want to get rid of your control at all!"
"Ridiculous, foolish, all of you die! Spellcaster curse to kill!!!"
As the Dragon King's angry whisper echoed, the dragon tattoos on the backs of all the Ding family members suddenly emitted a dark, deathly light.
"Aaaaaah!!! Dragon King, spare me!!"
Those people cried out in anguish, but they could not win the slightest pity from the Dragon King.
Their backs quickly ulcerated, turning into a large pool of pus, followed by bones and blood.
Every place imbued with the power of the Flood Dragon King became a deadly curse.
Ding Yuan shakily got up; half of his body was rotten.
Looking back at this centuries-old foundation...
"Ha, an evil spirit is an evil spirit, I'll fuck your mother, you dead mudfish!"
