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

”Shi Yuanshan, oh Shi Yuanshan, I thought today we wouldn’t start anything. We’re allies, Wuwang and the Yellow Heaven Sect even cooperate sometimes. We might bump into each other again.”

”But you just had to rub it in, really asking for a beating, do you know that?”

Shi Yuanshan was stunned.

If it were Wen Yu or Shen Yuqing getting in my face, I could have tolerated it.

But you, a nobody from Wuwang, a lowly lackey!

Who do you think you are to speak to me like that?

I am the sect leader of the Yellow Heaven Sect’s Great Jing branch!!

So many people are watching.

If Shi Yuanshan didn’t act now, he’d lose face.He flicked his serpent staff, sweeping away the poisonous mist into a cloud.

Shen Yuqing crossed his arms and held his sword, ”Dog bites dog. Wuwang messing with the Yellow Heaven Sect, interesting.”

Lu Ding glanced at him.

The mask on his face opened, and with a sound: ”Hmph!”

A snorting breath erupted, black fog billowing, with fragments of gold flashing through it, the black mist pressing like a ceiling and striking sideways. The Gold-Shattering Stone-Breaking Blast rolled forward and crushed everything in its path.

The poisonous cloud disintegrated instantly.

The snorting breath’s force remained undiminished, surging wildly.

Shi Yuanshan gripped his dhyana staff, and it swelled in the wind. The serpent on it spread its dorsal fin and opened its mouth as if to swallow the sky, driving foul-smelling poisonous wind that withered the grass, stripped leaves from trees, and churned the sea into different colors.

But this snorting breath that attacks the lungs and metal path isn’t so easy to block.

Yet with just one horizontal strike,

the serpent staff shattered.

Shi Yuanshan staggered backward.

Such power made everyone’s expressions change, their gazes turning toward the masked Lu Ding, a sense of caution rising in their hearts.

They all marveled.

So strong!!!!

Shi Yuanshan also stared at Lu Ding in shock. After just one exchange, he didn’t care about saving face anymore.

He only spoke, ”You absolutely are not an ordinary Wuwang member. Dare you give your name!?”

Lu Ding didn’t bother to spit out a name. Since they were all risking death anyway, there was no point wasting words here.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer—simple and practical, but effective.

”Leader Shi, I’m wearing a mask. Do you really think I’d tell my identity?”

Hearing the title “Leader Shi” drained all of Shi Yuanshan’s anger.

Mainly because power spoke louder than words.

If Lu Ding didn’t have such overwhelming strength, he wouldn’t have seen even a shred of the Mad God’s treasure today, let alone anything else.

But since Lu Ding had the audacity to attack first and still possessed astonishing strength to counterattack and seize the upper hand,

Shi Yuanshan could still be addressed as Leader Shi.

That distinction

made Shi Yuanshan think back to how the Divine Sword Sect people had treated him earlier.

The contrast was obvious at a glance!

And now he understood—when the Western Wuwang commander was mentioned before, that person had shown no hint of respect.

Clearly not a subordinate.

Probably they were afraid Shi Yuanshan wouldn’t hold the advantage, so they brought in a high-level Wuwang powerhouse to back them up!

If that’s the case, everything made sense.

He could accept that!

Shi Yuanshan’s face changed suddenly; he broke into hearty laughter, ”Hahaha, I was hasty. Fighting first to get to know one another, it was my mistake.”

”Brother, sorry for the offense!”

Lu Ding nodded.

Then he looked over at Shen Yuqing, who wore a face of bored disinterest, thinking the show was over.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

The distant ties have been maintained, now attack the nearby one!

”What did you just say?”

”Can you say that again? I didn’t hear clearly.”

Even with Lu Ding showing dominance now,

Shen Yuqing still wasn’t intimidated.

Not because he had confidence,

but because his temperament was simply like that.

”I said dog bites dog, do you have a problem with that?”

He truly had never seen such a bold hand.

Earlier Shen Yuqing and his companions were spectators. Now the tide had turned, and it was Shi Yuanshan’s turn to be on the short end.

He thought with some admiration.

Wuwang is indeed different: they can fight and flee; nobody toes the line for them.

He’d heard Wuwang members were wild and unrestrained, but today he truly witnessed it.

Of course, Shi Yuanshan had seen Wuwang members before, just not someone like the man in front of him.

This person turned the ”wu” of Wuwang into lawless recklessness.

Lu Ding stepped forward, shifting shapes and shadows.

Shen Yuqing actually had some skill.

He reacted in time, his long sword without a scabbard slashing.

Sword energy spread across the air.

Lu Ding leaned aside to dodge.

He caught the sword between two fingers and reversed it, using the tip to counterattack.

The cold, glittering sword point looked like a snake flicking its tongue, aiming straight for Shen Yuqing’s face.

Wen Yu at the side moved to draw his sword.

Lu Ding didn’t bother to look back. With a kick, he forced the half-drawn blade back into its scabbard.

Shen Yuqing bent backward to dodge.

Lu Ding pinched the sword fragments between two fingers and flicked the blade; snap!!!!

The artifact long sword shattered immediately, scattering like concealed weapons, and struck the exposed chest and abdomen of the bent-back Shen Yuqing.

Blood mist sprayed.

He was riddled with holes!

Only then did Wen Yu finally draw his own sword.

Lu Ding turned and held a fragment of sword tip, not even half a finger’s length, between two fingers, and pressed it against Wen Yu’s brow.

Wen Yu of the Snow Mountain Sword frowned and retreated a half-step.

Lu Ding advanced half a step.

Their movements were almost simultaneous.

Wen Yu attempted a slash, but Lu Ding’s apparent stillness was an illusion—his dodging speed was so fast his afterimages hadn’t even faded. His arm returned to the pre-dodge position, still holding the tiny shard against Wen Yu’s brow.

The wounded Shen Yuqing on the ground still tried to resist.

Lu Ding stomped down.

Earth Shakes Mountain Moves.

He directly crushed through Shen Yuqing’s abdomen, the internal organs squeezed out by the great force.

”Ugh! Gah!!!!!!”

Even now, Lu Ding still had time to ask aloud.

”Leader Shi, wasn’t this supposed to be just Wuwang and your Yellow Heaven Sect?”

”What are those others here for?”

Already displeased with the Divine Sword Sect, Shi Yuanshan, seeing the masked Lu Ding’s power, although tempted to kick someone while they were down,

remembered that the Divine Sword Sect was a local force in New City and could help him deal with Lu Ding. So he spoke like a peacemaker, ”Brother, spare them. They are disciples of the Divine Sword Sect. If you kill—...”

Before he finished,

Lu Ding shouted, ”Fine!!!!”

Shi Yuanshan wondered what that ”fine” meant.

Then, in the next second,

Lu Ding shattered the sword tip he was holding into a dart-like hidden weapon and sent it flying at Wen Yu, then with his other hand he slammed a palm down onto the gasping Shen Yuqing on the ground.

”You dog-like thing, daring to bark at me—next life make sure your parents teach you properly what it means to invite disaster with your mouth!!!”

Bang!!!!

Shen Yuqing’s eyes widened with terror.

Until his skull exploded!!

Death!!!

Wen Yu, who blocked the flying blade with his sword, could no longer maintain his composed bearing and shouted, ”Junior Brother!!!!!”

But that cry went unanswered.

What remained were only Lu Ding’s eyes, bloodshot and glowing, like a killing frenzy.

”Fuck your master, next one’s you!!!”

Opening the Mad God’s treasure required the Yellow Heaven Sect, not the Divine Sword Sect.

Those trying to shake the foundations of his western hold were standing right here.

How could Lu Ding possibly spare them?

Was he supposed to make excuses? Talk about putting the bigger picture first and killing them later in the Mad God’s tomb?

That would be nothing but pointless pretense.

Kill now, kill immediately, kill in front of Shi Yuanshan—make an example, slaughter one to warn a hundred!!!
