First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!

The room fell silent for several seconds.

Ambush tactics...

They genuinely hadn’t considered that possibility.

Mainly because... if even they hadn’t ambushed Great Han, why would Great Han ambush them?

Logically, that should be their style of operation.

Yet here they were, not employing such tactics.

Tai Island, who should be conducting ambushes, was fighting head-on.

While Great Han, who should be fighting conventionally, was about to launch a sneak attack...

Someone in the room attempted to lighten the mood: ”Hahaha, no way, Great Han wouldn’t possibly...”Before the sentence could be completed,

A piercing alarm shattered the night.

Woooooo...

Followed by a thunderous shout echoing across the island:

”ENEMY!!!! ATTACK!!!!”

Damn! Speak of the devil!!

Everyone in the room sprang into action immediately.

Had they not discussed these matters tonight, they might have treated it with routine seriousness.

But!

They’d just analyzed the difference between facing Lu Ding alone versus with backup.

Two people - manageable odds!

One person - highly precarious!!!

If Lu Ding was coming, they might lose Tai Island tonight.

Suzuki Oshima cursed while marching out: ”Great Han people have no martial virtue!!!”

The Qi Refiner who’d warned about Lu Ding’s potential ambush added:

”Let’s hope Lu Ding isn’t part of tonight’s attacking force!”

Instantly,

Everyone froze mid-step.

All heads turned toward him.

Suzuki Oshima’s face darkened as he growled: ”From now on, you keep your mouth shut!”

God damn it!

If Lu Ding really came, they’d be screwed!

Though he was at the Earth Observation realm,

Facing Lu Ding made his legs tremble uncontrollably.

And he couldn’t even retreat!

It would be direct confrontation - survival uncertain.

Now this idiot was jinxing them!

If not for the critical situation,

He’d turn around and slap this moron to death!

.....

Meanwhile,

Along Tai Island’s coastline,

Lu Ding charged at the forefront.

Reaching into spatial ripples, he withdrew the [Unshakable as Mountain - Stone Dang]

Pure, concentrated suppression energy erupted instantly.

The ancient stone stele expanded in Lu Ding’s grasp,

Crashing down like a falling mountain.

BOOM!!!!!

The terrifying impact shook the entire island, sending boulders tumbling as fissures spiderwebbed across the ground.

Seawater rushed through the cracks.

Indeed,

[Unshakable as Mountain] specialized in suppression and fortification.

But it still had mass.

Even a brick could kill if it was hard and heavy enough,

Let alone one imbued with formidable suppression effects.

With one stele’s descent,

Tai Island’s coastal defenders were instantly neutralized - pinned like ants beneath a mountain, utterly helpless.

Lu Ding thrust his finger forward, energy flaring: ”COMMENCE SLAUGHTER!!!”

At this moment,

To our unorthodox allies, these immobilized enemy Qi Refiners were nothing but defenseless treasure troves.

They charged forward with frenzied excitement!

”Fighting alongside the Grand Guardian is fucking amazing!!!”

”Here I fucking come!!!”

Unorthodox Qi Refiners surged forward.

A colossal shadow manifested, biting an enemy in half with one chomp.

Copper bells chimed as zombies concealed in black cloth billowed corpse energy, voraciously devouring flesh.

Demonic pets, experiencing their first grand feast, shoveled enemies into their mouths without chewing.

Another figure scattered swarms of gu insects that skeletonized victims within seconds!

Scenes from the eighteen levels of hell unfolded everywhere.

Hand seals activated, causing enemies’ bones to burst through their flesh like blooming flowers of agony.

An unorthodox master yanked out entire spinal columns.

Nearby, others negotiated:

”Bro, you don’t need the meat right? Can I have it for medicinal planting?”

”Take whatever you need.”

”Hey bro, mind if I take his hair for gu refinement?”

”Six Poisons! Everyone watch for Six Poisons! I need them for artifact infusion! Handle with care and we’ll trade later!”

”Ribs! Save the ribs for my shield!!!”

”Don’t damage the spine! That’s the dragon meridian - I call dibs!”

”Fuck off! You want everything! Want a slap too? Everyone wants the dragon meridian! Get lost!”

The battlefield transformed into a macabre marketplace.

Despite the constant chatter,

Their hands never stopped working - each movement precise and merciless.

Talk is talk.

Business is business.

And their casual conversations about resource allocation

Drove the Tai Island, Hetu and Zhenla Qi Refiners to hysterical terror.

”We surrender!! We surrender!! Stop killing!!”

Who could withstand this?

A human slaughterhouse.

These butchers discussed dismemberment techniques while carefully harvesting specific body parts.

Skinning alive! Soul extraction!

Fuck this!!!

I’m out!

Someone take over!

I want to go home!

As for surrender... excellent idea!

The first surrender plea earned its speaker a brutal slap.

”Surrender my ass! We’re volunteers! According to 749 Bureau’s Qi Refiner Management Regulations, volunteers and external personnel cannot exercise investigator privileges.”

”So I don’t accept surrender! Die!!!”

Another unorthodox cultivator shook his captive: ”You think you can surrender? Not allowed! Do you know how long we’ve waited for this? Our traditions almost died out because the times rejected us! And now you want to quit?”

”Dream on! No surrenders!”

Hearing they were volunteers without arrest authority, the enemies desperately turned to Lingshun investigators:

”You! 749 investigator! Look at me! I surrender!!!”

A Tai Island Qi Refiner screamed at the Lingshun 749 agent.

The investigator pretended not to hear.

After executing another enemy, he glanced around: ”Hmm? Dog barking???”

Then hurried away,

Behaving as if nothing existed here.

Just air. Hallucinations. Empty space.

The Tai Island Qi Refiner completely broke down!!!

”749 BUREAU!!! YOU’LL DIE SCREAMING!!!”

His final roar was cut short as hands plunged into his back, yanking out his spine: ”Hahahaha! Premium quality! Perfect for a belt!!!”

The unorthodox faction’s cruelty reached unprecedented levels this battle.

Reinforcements arriving later

Took one look at the nightmare scene

And nearly pissed themselves!

Who said hell only has eighteen levels?
