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

Instantly, a surge of fury shot straight to Ye Jun’s heart.

”LU DING!!!!!”

A punch slammed into the mountain wall beside him, shattering it to dust.

”I WILL NEVER LET YOU GO!!!!!”

Hidden in the shadows, Lu Ding smiled. I’ll deal with you in a bit, you bastard.

His gaze shifted to the not-too-distant Linjiang Xian, whose eyes were completely filled with Ye Jun.

Compared to Ye Jun, who had somewhat decent stats, a character with mechanics like Linjiang Xian was the top priority Lu Ding needed to deal with first.

One hand gripping the Way of the Jinche, the other holding Nipping Poison, Phoenix Piercing Flower, he slowly approached.

When he reached the absolute limit of distance.

A sound rang out.

The recovery lag of Celestial Shift exploded with a thunderous boom.

Everyone was momentarily startled, given a fright.

Their instincts kicked in, and they looked toward the source of the sound.

And there they saw.

Linjiang Xian, standing frozen in place, with the sharp tip of Lu Ding’s Nipping Poison, Phoenix Piercing Flower armor jutting out from the center of her brow, on that smooth, pristine white forehead.

Meanwhile, Lu Ding’s left hand, gripping the Way of the Jinche, was pressed firmly against Linjiang Xian’s back, right over her heart.

There was no casting range to speak of, lest the enemy be given any time to react.

Only zero-distance casting, directly driving the Way of the Jinche into her body, using the toxic pain of Nipping Poison, Phoenix Piercing Flower to disrupt her, and then the slash attack of the Way of the Jinche, could completely eliminate any possibility of her releasing any Divine Ability or spell!!!

One strike, instant kill!!!

Crimson blood trickled down from the center of Linjiang Xian’s brow.

Ye Jun’s expression shifted in slow motion, his pupils dilating then contracting.

Reflected in his eyes, one could clearly see Lu Ding’s figure slowly emerging from the darkness behind Linjiang Xian’s stiffened body.

His face still carried a slightly mad, savage grin.

Those armor-clad fingers withdrew from Linjiang Xian’s head, then from behind, slowly wrapped around her neck, seizing it!!

Lu Ding’s voice rang out: ”Finally found you both. She dies first, you follow right after. How’s that sound?”

Ye Jun shouted: ”Lu Ding! Let her go! If you’ve got a problem, come at me!!!”

”If you’re even a man, don’t take it out on her!!!”

Lu Ding laughed: ”You want her? Fine, here you go.”

He directly pushed Linjiang Xian from his embrace, sending her flying toward Ye Jun.

Ye Jun couldn’t afford to care about anything else. Even if there were traps, he couldn’t worry about it anymore. He leaped forward to catch her.

But before he could catch her.

The Way of the Jinche, filling Linjiang Xian’s body, instantly erupted.

BANG!!!!!!

Exploded!!

Ye Jun tumbled through the air, twisting and dodging the Way of the Jinche slash attacks bursting outward from Linjiang Xian’s body.

When he landed, his eyes were filled with disbelief, fury, and terror!!!

Dead... she’s dead...

Linjiang Xian just died like that...

Linjiang Xian, who just moments ago had been all lovey-dovey with him, intimate skin-to-skin... just died like that...

Not even a single last word, not even a final dying glance. She died so silently.

Actually, Linjiang Xian wasn’t this weak. It was just that Lu Ding’s timing was far too perfect.

You had to understand, no one who made it this far was a fool. Linjiang Xian’s Divine Ability, the one that let others share the same degree of damage she received, was normally always kept on. She never turned it off.

But just now, she and Ye Jun had just been intimate, so she had turned it off.

As a result, the moment they finished, Ye Jun’s friend came looking, and Lu Ding followed right behind, launching a sneak attack.

One could only say that Linjiang Xian died from carelessness, died from the one and only lapse in her otherwise flawless caution in her entire life.

Lu Ding clicked his tongue: ”What a pity. If her body could have held on a bit longer, if she’d exploded after you caught her, it might have saved me some effort.”

”I was trying my hardest to control it, but her body was just too weak.”

Covered in filthy blood from the explosion, Ye Jun flew into absolute rage!!!

”LU DING!!!!! AHHHH!!!!!”

His clothes burst apart, revealing muscles beneath like sculpted marble. And within his true flesh, something inexplicable coursed through his entire body.

He had powered up!

”I WANT YOUR LIFE!!!!”

He raised his hand, instantly casting a spell, flinging a shower of light that tore through space with a piercing shriek, killing toward Lu Ding in an instant.

The Sin Pupil in Lu Ding’s eyes rotated.

Ye Jun’s incoming spell instantly reversed, flying back. Even though the enemy dodged in time, the returned barrage of light seemed to have grown eyes, instantly burrowing back into Ye Jun’s body and exploding!!!

The explosion made Ye Jun’s body balloon for an instant before deflating, his internal organs nearly all shattered, a mouthful of blood spewing out.

He shouted: ”Xiao Mei!!!!”

That cute-looking young girl raised her hand, casting a spell aimed at Ye Jun: ”Recover!”

In just an instant, Ye Jun’s physical condition returned to before he was injured, and he charged at Lu Ding once more.

As for his charge.

Lu Ding didn’t care, didn’t even glance directly at him.

Instead, he looked at the girl named Xiao Mei, the one he’d previously struck down with a single palm, and surprise flickered through his eyes: ”What a fascinating method.”

At this moment.

Ye Jun had already arrived in front of Lu Ding, raising a fist wreathed in divine light, knuckles shadowed with phantoms, qi and blood rolling like a dragon or tiger: ”DIE, LU DING!!!”

Lu Ding didn’t retreat, didn’t dodge. He tilted his head back and met Ye Jun’s fist directly with his forehead.

DONG!!!!

The terrifying recoil shook the side hall until it collapsed.

With a crack, Ye Jun’s fist and forearm twisted and shattered.

But in his eyes there was not the slightest pain, only hatred and fury.

He raised his fist again.

Lu Ding lowered his stance, drew back his fist, gathered power, black smoke coalescing around his hand, black to the point of purple: ”Too slow.”

An uppercut!

Extreme speed, faster than Ye Jun by a step, striking his jaw first, shattering it outright. Along with it, the crown of his skull was blasted clean off, brain matter spraying everywhere, his headless corpse sent flying backward.

Brutal!!!

Xiao Mei cast again: ”Recover!!”

Her hair visibly turned white in a single patch, but Ye Jun, who should have been dead, revived once more.

Lu Ding spoke again: ”Fascinating. Can even pull someone back after they’ve been beaten to death.”

He leaped into the air, kicking the revived Ye Jun flying, embedding him into the mountain, then charged toward Xiao Mei: ”Follow me from now on.”

This was simply a talent!

This was just absurd. Near-instant recovery from severe wounds, immediate revival after death. Though it seemed there might be some cost, it was nothing major. If she could be cultivated properly, how many casualties could be avoided? Truly a rare and invaluable talent!

As for whether she’d obey?

Lu Ding didn’t care.

A melon forced off the vine, even if not sweet, can still quench thirst!!

In order to prepare for the possibility of someone descending during the Hundred Dynasties War in the First Circle later, a talent like this had to be firmly held in his grasp. If something happened to Feifan, Xiao Bai, Elder Shui or the others, this ’Xiao Mei’ was essentially a second life!!

Lu Ding couldn’t die, but that didn’t mean others couldn’t.

He still had friends, still had Elder Shui, all of whom he had to look after!

Facing the charging Lu Ding, Xiao Mei’s already pale face lost every last trace of color.

He went up, three punches and two kicks, killing and pulverizing the others guarding Xiao Mei, then grabbed her and yanked her before him: ”How about it? Follow me from now on. I guarantee you’ll have whatever you want, whenever you want. Whatever you desire, I’ll give you. Even if it’s a star in the sky, I’ll pluck it down for you.”

”And you won’t need to do anything. Normally you just play. When I need you, you just revive a few people like you did with him just now. Easy work, high pay. How about it?”

Before Xiao Mei could, in her terror, voice a refusal.

Ye Jun, having freed himself from the mountain, charged over once more!

”LU DING, YOU’RE DREAMING!!!!”

Those words seemed to give Xiao Mei endless confidence, and she said firmly: ”You’re dreaming!!”

Very good!

Lu Ding loved people with backbone like this.

He smiled: ”Then watch closely. The price of refusing me is that I’ll beat him to death right in front of you, alive and kicking.”
