Chapter 1056: Su Yun Calls Via Video, Lu Ding You Bastard, Come at Me If You've Got the Balls!!

......."Dou'er!!!!"

"No!!!!!"

Grief, agony, wails—a scream brimming with every negative emotion erupted from the Disaster Mother's mouth.

Lu Ding just smiled.

So she came up and hit him once, and thought she'd already won?

Lu Ding had only lost a sliver of health. This kid's brain was seriously defective.

Sure!

Lu Ding admitted, her fire had some merit.

But did Lu Ding's [Purple Tenuity Heavenly Fire] have nothing going for it either?

An uneducated thing like her just had no brains.

Never heard of defensive firefighting?

That demon's fire had been burning from the outside in.

The moment Lu Ding was hit, he directly manipulated his [Purple Tenuity Heavenly Fire] to burn from the inside out, fighting poison with poison.

The two canceled each other out, and the problem was solved instantly.

And there she was, still crying and wailing, with her back turned to Lu Ding.

How dare she!!!!

How dare she turn her back without any defense against an enemy wielding the [Way of the Jinche], which could cut through anything? Wasn't that just offering her head up to Lu Ding on a silver platter?

Faced with an invitation like that, Lu Ding naturally wasn't about to refuse.

He'd teach her a lesson on the spot.

In terms of raw strength, the newly appeared youth might have been a bit fiercer than the Disaster Mother, but he had no brains, and no backup plan like the Disaster Mother's death-substitute. Fighting required using your head, too.

Lu Ding held up the youth's head, its eyes wide open in death, unwilling to close, and looked at the Disaster Mother: "Stop howling. You're next."

Lu Ding held up the youth's head, its eyes wide in death without closing, and looked at the Disaster Mother: "Stop howling. You're next."

Facing the Disaster Mother, who was now barely able to resist.

He wanted to see just how many death-substitute treasures this woman still had.

But just as he was about to act.

From within the rubble, a phone rang.

'You've got a call... Su Yun's calling... You've got a call... Su Yun's calling...'

That ringtone was really retro.

A grin spread across Lu Ding's face.

He reached out with his hand and pulled the phone from the rubble.

The Disaster Mother tried to struggle.

Lu Ding lifted his leg and stomped directly onto her chest. Crack, crack—who knows how many more bones snapped.

Lu Ding answered the call.

Su Yun's eager voice came through: "Sister Huo, you guys..."

That was as far as he got.

He froze.

Because on the other end of the video was not the Sister Huo he longed for, but the source of his fear and his nightly nightmares.

Lu Ding!!!!

Lu Ding smiled: "Su Yun, long time no see. Missing your Sister Huo that much? Did you think of me at all?"

Su Yun's face darkened, a bad feeling rising in his heart: "Lu! Ding!!! How did Sister Huo and Little Dou's phone end up with you!?"

Lu Ding tapped the screen, flipped the camera, and pointed it at the Disaster Mother in front of him—a miserable, broken wreck on the verge of death, pinned under his foot.

"Hahahahaha, of course, because I've broken into the Great Wilderness Realm!"

"Come, come, come, take a look at your Sister Huo."

"Oh right, and the Little Dou you mentioned—should be Little Dou, right."

Lu Ding waved his hand, and the headless corpse beside him flew over, laid out next to the Disaster Mother. Lu Ding bent down again and placed the head in his hand back onto the corpse's neck: "You were talking about this one, right?"

"Well, you might have called a bit too late. Next time, call sooner. I didn't hold back, just killed him outright."

On the other end of the line: "Sister Huo!!! Little Dou!!!! Lu Ding, what have you done!?"

Lu Ding couldn't understand: "Are you blind, stupid, or deaf? I told you, I've broken into the Great Wilderness Realm, and the corpses are right in front of you. Why are you still asking me what I've done?"

"You might not know this, but I have an allergy to stupidity. Your little speech here is really painful to listen to!!!!!"

He raised his hand and used the [Way of the Jinche],

directly cutting off both of the Disaster Mother's arms and both of her legs.

"Sister Huo!!!"

Su Yun screamed.

The Disaster Mother groaned in pain.

Lu Ding: Sigh...

"Lu Ding!! You're not human!! Let her go! Come at me if you've got the guts! What kind of man are you, attacking women and children?! I'll fucking kill you, you scumbag!!!"

Lu Ding held up the phone, first pointing it at Little Dou's corpse: "Is this a woman?"

Then pointing it at the Disaster Mother: "Is she a child?"

"And besides, 'come at you'? I was originally coming at you from the very start! Don't you fucking run away! You slipped away yourself, and now you want me to come at you? You sure know how to talk, you pathetic fake tough guy. Gutless and irresponsible—that's you, you waste."

"You sneak into someone's garden to steal their melons, mess with their kid, and covet their woman. If you really had any balls, you wouldn't be yelling from behind a screen. Come find me, and I'll give her back to you. If you don't have the guts, just hide away like a coward. The road is long, and we'll have plenty of chances to meet. Just don't let me find you!"

Lu Ding raised his hand to deliver the execution.

Su Yun yelled frantically from the other end: "I'll come!!!"

Lu Ding raised an eyebrow and lowered his hand: "Fine, I'll wait. Hurry up."

With that,

he crushed the phone in his hand.

Then, with the [Way of the Jinche], he struck.

He directly chopped off the Disaster Mother's head.

Executed!!!!

This time, the Disaster Mother did not revive again, and Lu Ding also received a notification from his Golden Finger.

After all, artifacts capable of substituting death for a God Ascension were far too precious. Even the Disaster Mother, Lord of the Great Wilderness Realm, only had one!!

Gongyang Qingrou, who had been watching from the sidelines the whole time, asked: "Didn't you say you'd give her back if he came?"

"Now that you've killed this demon, what are you going to use as bait?"

Lu Ding tossed the head in his hand aside.

"I only said I'd give her back to him. I never said I'd give her back alive. A corpse works just fine."

"As for bait, it's best if he comes, but if he doesn't, it doesn't matter. I don't really care about that anyway. I'm going to fight my way over there regardless."

The materials for the True Samadhi Fire were right in front of him—was he supposed to just not collect them?!

Strength was the only real truth.

As for keeping promises?

Don't be ridiculous.

With trash like Su Yun and the Disaster Mother, who were involved in human experimentation, there were no promises worth keeping.

Given their backgrounds, no matter how dirty Lu Ding played, he still felt he stood in the light, representing justice.

Gongyang Qingrou listened but had no objections.

As a leader of assassins, she had that kind of awareness. She had done far worse things. To achieve her goals, resorting to any means was a minor matter.

She was no delicate little flower.

Nearby,

Lu Ding turned his attention to the Golden Finger on his own.

He was looking forward to this reward!!!

[Contained Monster: Fire Hound of Calamity]

[Containment Reward: Upper Divine Fire]

[Upper Divine Fire: One of the True Samadhi Fires, originating from the heart, with a violent and raging nature]

[Upper Divine Fire: One of the True Samadhi Fires, originating from the heart, with a violent and furious nature]

Lu Ding had already figured it out.

It was way too easy to guess.

Its mother was the Disaster Mother, and it was called Dou'er—the name was practically written on its forehead.

Many ancient texts recorded it.

Including the Classic of Mountains and Seas and such.

But what Lu Ding remembered most vividly was the record of the Fire Hound of Calamity in the [Book of Crimson Elegance].

[The Fire Hound of Calamity, resembling a dog but eating dog feces, spits fire and brings disaster—extremely inauspicious.]
