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

Pan Xiu looked up at Qian Jin, his expression somewhat gloomy.

”Director Qian, I don’t understand what you mean by this.”

You don’t understand?

I don’t understand either.

But whatever the Grand Guardian says, we just do it.

As a subordinate, the biggest taboo is having your own thoughts when carrying out a leader’s task.

Qian Jin flew down and landed. ”This is not something the head of the Pan Family should inquire about. We are handling a case, and your cooperation is the duty every citizen of the new city should fulfill. Surely you know that, right?”

Pan Xiu was momentarily speechless.

He truly hadn’t expected to hear such evasive and dismissive talk from someone from the 749 Bureau.

In the past, he would have definitely shown some temper.The Pan Family was not made of clay in this territory of the Path of Dry Bones.

Even the former Path of Dry Bones 749 had to give the Pan Family some face.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to buy this land.

But his mindset was different now.

After his son’s words, Pan Xiu had concerns in his heart.

Immediately, though unwilling, he took out a small jade box, walked over, and quietly slipped it into Qian Jin’s hand.

”Director Qian, I’m just worried. Our Pan Family is the most law-abiding. You say return the land, we return it. You say move, we move.”

”We absolutely cooperate with all your actions.”

”You see...”

He helped Qian Jin close his hand, gripping the jade box, and patted it.

Qian Jin instantly understood this man’s meaning.

Originally, Qian Jin had turned over a new leaf and didn’t engage in this sort of thing anymore.

But if he didn’t play along now, it would seem his persona was too disjointed. What if it aroused this man’s suspicion and ruined the Grand Guardian’s plan, then...

Thinking of this, Qian Jin chuckled.

”Old Brother Pan, pulling this move is a bit too formal, don’t you think?”

That’s what he said, but his hand movements were not slow at all.

The Pan father and son cursed in their hearts simultaneously: Hypocrite.

Then they heard Qian Jin whisper, ”Internal information, you absolutely must not tell anyone else.”

Pan Xiu nodded.

”This land of the Path of Dry Bones 749 is involved in some accounts from our White Ridge. They haven’t been reconciled yet.”

”Once they are reconciled, you can continue moving. For now, you still need to cooperate a bit. It’s a small issue, just going through procedures. After all, I’m not the highest authority in White Ridge now; the Grand Guardian is watching too.”

Lying through his teeth, stalling for time.

Qian Jin was most adept at this.

Pan Xiu found it somewhat reasonable. This Corpse-Shattering Taishui indeed seemed to have a lot on his plate, being so meticulous in this territory of the new city...

Ridiculous.

Does he really think this is a place governed by law like the outside world?

”Why haven’t I heard about this matter before?”

Afraid this matter might implicate him, he said, ”Director Qian, we know absolutely nothing about these account matters. I only bought this piece of land; I wasn’t involved in anything else.”

Qian Jin soothed his emotions. ”Relax, relax, I know, I know. How could I not know you guys?”

As he spoke, he patted his chest where the jade box was hidden.

Only then did Pan Xiu feel reassured.

As long as Qian Jin accepted the gift, things were basically fine. If he didn’t accept it, that would be the real problem.

Pan Xiu took out a cigarette case. ”Then I’ll trouble you, Director Qian. Hard work, hard work. Have one.”

”How can I impose?”

Qian Jin took one and put it in his mouth.

Pan Xiu rubbed his fingers, igniting a flame to light it for him.

As the first wisp of smoke rose.

A figure descended from the sky above.

Qian Jin looked up.

Seeing Lu Ding, whose expression and aura were different from usual.

Skilled at reading expressions, he immediately understood that the Pan Family was in for trouble today, and it wasn’t a small problem.

If that was the case, then Pan Xiu, this mid-stage Fifth Restriction Qi Refiner, was the biggest obstacle!

He reached up, took the cigarette from his mouth, placed it on Pan Xiu’s back, and gave a light push forward, showing no abnormality. ”Come, come, come, Head of the Pan Family, let me introduce you. This is our White Ridge special envoy, Grand Duke Lu.”

As he said this, he winked at Lu Ding.

Lu Ding instantly understood.

Guided by the light push, Pan Xiu took a step forward, just cupping his hands and opening his mouth. ”Long have I admired...”

It was this step.

His words weren’t even finished.

The hand Qian Jin had placed on his back for the light push, within that tiny space, exerted force a second time. Divine patterns lit up, white light erupted, dyeing the hand like white jade and colored glaze.

Sneak attack!!!

Boom!!!!

Caught off guard, Pan Xiu was sent flying forward, vomiting blood, his heart inside his fleshly body cracking.

”Father!!!!!!”

”Brother Xiu!!!!”

Two cries came from Pan Xiu’s wife, Pan Ke, and Pan Xiu’s son, Pan Fusheng.

Just watch as Lu Ding, not even fully landed yet, without saying a word, already had action in his hands.

Facing the lunging Pan Xiu.

Lu Ding’s palm strike carried a thunderous momentum, using [Mountain-Shaking Earth-Quaking]. The apertures in his shoulder blades opened wide, black smoke gushing out, adding another burst of power. His palm pushed forward, pressure capable of crushing mountains.

Boom!!!!

A ring-shaped black shockwave erupted, tearing apart and overturning the surrounding buildings.

Pan Xiu’s chest took this blow squarely.

Instantly, the flesh and blood on his body rolled like waves, resembling ripples spreading out, finally shrinking to a single point on his back.

Bang!!

The flesh and blood exploded at that point, skin and flesh peeling back along the exploded wound, spreading wider and wider.

Finally, a complete skeleton, not stained with a single speck of flesh and blood, flew backwards from within the fleshly wrapping, smashing into and burying itself deep within the collapsed mansion.

Looking back at the original spot.

Pan Xiu’s mass of flesh and blood, lacking skeletal support, like mud, slumped and slid to the ground in a heap.

Until death, he hadn’t reacted.

Why did Qian Jin suddenly attack? Didn’t he accept my gift?

Why did Lu Ding suddenly attack? Wasn’t he here to investigate the accounts?

Well, beaten senseless, utterly deceived.

Looking at the power of this move, Lu Ding felt satisfied.

Ever since last time, in Xiankong Town, when he sent Shen Qixue flying and she tried to use the momentum to escape.

Lu Ding had reconsidered his force application.

A student’s growth doesn’t come only from books.

A Qi Refiner’s growth doesn’t come only from cultivation methods.

Lu Ding was someone skilled at thinking, divergent in thought, not a machine, so naturally he wouldn’t be limited by formulas.

Since he discovered a deficiency, he had to improve it.

Too much force would send people flying, giving enemies a chance to use the momentum to escape. So, he would make the force penetrate, pierce through.

Thinking of it, he had to do it.

Thus.

Today’s move was born.

Extreme power, combined with extreme control.

Directly turned Pan Xiu into separated bones and flesh, a one-hit kill!!!

Lu Ding glanced at his palm. This feeling of reaping rewards through his own efforts was truly good.

In a better mood, he slightly tilted his head to look at Qian Jin and spoke his first words since arriving. ”Well done.”

This was more like it.

With these demons and monsters lurking in human society causing evil, there was no need for pointless talk, no need for lofty ideals. Directly starting with a zero-frame sneak attack, violently crushing and killing, was the correct procedure.

Today’s cooperation made Lu Ding reluctant to let Qian Jin die so early.

Sigh.......

With these demons and monsters lurking in human society causing evil, there was no need for empty talk, no need for lofty ideals. Directly starting with a zero-frame sneak attack, violently crushing and killing, was the correct procedure.

”Give back my father’s life!!!!”

Two roars sounded.

That noblewoman and Pan Fusheng, demonic aura surging from their bodies, a single horn slowly growing from the center of their foreheads, revealing serrated teeth within their roars.

At this moment, the two had a roughly human shape, but didn’t look human.

The noblewoman assumed a horse stance, her hands forming a seal, using sword fingers to press against the single horn on her forehead, pointing directly at Lu Ding. With a surge of Spiritual Energy, the qi and blood from her entire body rushed out, an eerie light bursting from the single horn.

Lu Ding raised his hand to block.

The eerie light struck his palm squarely. Its power, while unable to injure his fleshly body, did not disappear. Instead, it refracted away, wantonly cutting and detonating the earth.

Boom boom boom boom boom......

He acknowledged the quality of this attack.

”Despicable villain, go to hell!!!!”

Pan Fusheng, holding a coiling dragon staff, leaped high into the air, his hair standing on end, his eye sockets bloodshot, his demonic aura raging, causing the swaying talisman patterns to surge, agitating the coiling dragon staff to light up, enlarge, like a pillar holding up the sky, crashing down.

He wanted to kill Lu Ding!!

He absolutely had to kill Lu Ding!!

Pan Fusheng, holding a coiling dragon staff, leaped high into the air, his hair standing on end, his eye sockets bloodshot, his demonic aura raging, causing the swaying talisman patterns to surge, agitating the coiling dragon staff to light up, enlarge, like a pillar holding up the sky, crashing down.

And he had personally witnessed his father die in such a gruesome manner before his eyes.

Today, if he didn’t kill Lu Ding, he vowed he was not human!
