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

Utterly ridiculous, like showing off axe skills before Lu Ban, the master carpenter.

Lu Ding recognized it at a single glance. Though this thing was of the same root and origin as his own, the difference between them was like that between a human and a monkey.

He grabbed the flying sword with one hand, imprisoning this artifact with his bare flesh and blood.

”How dare a petty trick like this claim to be able to cut through anything!?”

The Way of the Jinche erupted from his hand, shattering the flying sword inch by inch, refining it to nothingness in an instant.

BANG!!!!

The flying sword broke apart, and Lu Bing suffered the backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Yet she seemed to feel no pain at all, her eyes filled only with shock as she stared at Lu Ding.

”It’s you!!!”

”You’re the one who left the word ’Lu’ at the Divine Gate - it was you!!!”

Lu Ding looked at her. ”So what if it was me?”In that instant, a torrent of emotions churned within Lu Bing’s heart - fury, shame, shock, and more.

She was furious at everything Lu Ding had done today.

Ashamed of her own actions. The upheaval over the Lu character at the Divine Gate had swept across Ji Continent a while back, and everyone had assumed she was the one behind it.

And she, after grasping a sliver of the Way of the Jinche’s essence, had neither denied nor confirmed it. Instead, she repeatedly wielded the subtlety she’d comprehended to break her enemies with her sword.

Leaving others room for wild speculation.

But she never expected the real culprit to stand before her now.

Lu Bing wished she could crawl into a hole in the ground.

Enraged and humiliated, she shifted through secret arts, appearing before him in an instant, her fist wreathed in divine light as if mountains and rivers rested within her grasp: ”You’re not worthy of the surname Lu!!!!”

Lu Ding’s foot shot out instantly, empowered by the tremendous force of Mountain-Shaking Earth-Quaking, violent as a battering ram, driving straight through Lu Bing’s wide-open guard and slamming into her chest.

”Cough...”

A mouthful of blood sprayed from Lu Bing’s lips.

The overwhelming force pierced through her body, blasting apart the clothing on her back as blood mist burst in sheets from the pores of her spine.

BANG!!!!!

The heavy kick detonated a ring of black energy that rippled outward, sending Lu Bing flying, crashing into the same pile of rubble as her mother.

Still saying Lu Ding wasn’t worthy of the surname Lu?

He laughed.

Without even granting her a single glance, Lu Ding’s voice rang out: ”A piece of trash like you doesn’t even qualify to die by my hand.”

Then he turned his gaze to Lu Xiu, who stood frozen in place, legs trembling uncontrollably.

Black smoke curled from the corners of Lu Ding’s mouth, the crimson light in his eyes blazing ever brighter. As the black smoke rose, draconic scales emerged across his face, savage and ferocious, as if he were about to devour someone whole.

He opened his mouth, revealing sharp fangs: ”You do.”

He raised his hand, and True Samadhi Fire ignited along his arm.

By now, all color had drained from Lu Xiu’s face, leaving only deathly pallor: ”B-Big... Big Brother...”

Lu Ding: ”Begging for mercy, and you can even call me ’Big Brother.’ You’re truly a spineless cur. Come on, block this!!!”

His fist smashed down.

A chorus of shouts erupted: ”Stop!!!!”

”Stop!!!!”

”Xiu’er!!!!”

”Little Xiu!!!!”

”Fifth Brother!!!!!”

These voices rang in his ears, but Lu Ding wasn’t some fool from a cliché story who would actually halt just because someone shouted ”Stop!”

His fist fell.

Lu Xiu raised his arms to block.

BANG!!!!

A single punch drove half his body into the earth. The protective life-saving artifact on Lu Xiu’s body, along with both his arms, turned to charred fragments and shattered.

Blood gushed from his mouth in great torrents, mixed with shreds of internal organs.

The fire venom had entered his body. He didn’t have long to live.

Lu Ding glanced to the side. More newcomers had arrived - none other than Lu Teng’s principal wife, Shui Ci of the Shui Family, along with Lu Ding’s so-called half-siblings, Lu Teng’s eldest daughter Lu Yuexin and Lu Teng’s second son Lu Yansheng.

At this point.

All five of Lu Teng’s children and both of his wives had arrived.

If calculated by proper birth order, Lu Ding would rank third.

But Lu Ding had no intention of joining that ranking.

Looking at Lu Yansheng and Lu Yuexin, both burning with rage, he spoke: ”Don’t stop them.”

He wanted to see exactly what kind of stock Lu Teng’s children truly were!

Lu Ding turned to face the two God Ascension cultivators. The fierce wind blew straight at him, tousling the hair across his forehead, exuding sheer arrogance. He extended a single hand, crooked his finger, and taunted: ”Come on, save him from under my hand.”

”If you’re fast enough, maybe you’ll hear a few last words before the fire venom completely ravages him.”

At this moment, Lu Xiu, half-buried in the earth with both arms reduced to charcoal, wore an expression of unbearable agony. He vomited great mouthfuls of thick, semi-dried black blood - the fire venom of True Samadhi Fire rampaging within his body.

Lu Yuexin watched her beloved younger brother approaching the end of his life. Though Lu Xiu and Lu Bing shared no mother with her and Lu Yansheng, they had always done their utmost to cherish their younger siblings.

Seeing Lu Xiu reduced to this state now, how could her heart not ache? Consumed by fury, Lu Yuexin smashed both hands behind her, shattering space itself, and drew out a pair of golden maces - one long, one short: ”You truly are... OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!”

Lu Yuexin charged forward.

The long mace blazed with divine light, splitting mountains and cracking the earth as it came crashing down toward Lu Ding’s head.

Lu Ding didn’t dodge or evade. He simply raised his hand and caught it.

Such an action made even Lu Yuexin, a woman who never cursed, internally swear: Idiot!!!!

But the very next second.

She was dumbfounded.

The descending golden mace was caught bare-handed by Lu Ding.

With a flicking motion, he deflected it away. The recoil force transmitted through the mace numbed Lu Yuexin’s tiger’s mouth, nearly causing her to lose her grip on her weapon. Shock flooded her heart - Lu Ding’s physical body was terrifying beyond human limits!!!!

She knew full well that she and her brother were born with divine strength and special constitutions, which was precisely why they’d chosen maces as their weapons. Yet Lu Ding’s physical body was somehow even superior to hers!!

Lu Yuexin used the momentum to spin in midair, rolling to dissipate the force.

Then a figure leaped up from behind her, both hands gripping a long-handled war hammer carved with mountains, rivers, and lakes, with ferocious beasts coiled upon it. From above, he brought it down - Mountain-Splitting Slash!!!!

As it descended.

The mountains, rivers, lakes, and beasts carved on the hammer seemed to come alive, carrying the weight of mountains and rivers, bearing the savage might of monstrous beasts. As it crashed down with devastating force, Lu Yansheng roared: ”You beast without filial piety!!!!”

Lu Ding stepped back with one leg, slowly drawing his arm back. The black smoke spewing from his apertures was now pulled, through the motion of his arm, gathering onto the knuckles of his fist. Sticky darkness clung to flesh and blood, carrying hidden crimson light and ember glow.

Power gathered. BANG!!!!!

His fist blasted outward.

Lu Ding: ”Screw your mother!”

The fist force compressed the air, black smoke exploding in a ring. Space itself groaned under the unbearable strain as the Sin Dragon roared!!

ROOOAAARRR!!!!

Knuckles collided with the war hammer!!!!

A dull thud rang out. THUD!!!!!

The round hammer body cracked inch by inch, caving inward. The terrifying force within shattered the hammer’s shaft, transmitting straight into Lu Yansheng’s arms. Flesh exploded, revealing twisted, splintered white bone. The shockwave followed on the heels of the force, blasting Lu Yansheng’s face into distortion, waves of flesh rolling across his features.

The war hammer finally succumbed to the terror within and shattered. Lu Yansheng’s arms completely disintegrated, his body uncontrollably wrapped in the fist’s force, flying backward while spitting blood, smashing through countless rocks and boulders of the Lu Family’s construction along the way.

The fist force plowed through the ground like a scythe, utterly devastating, carving a path - EIGHT HUNDRED LI wide!!!!

”Yansheng!!!!!”
