Chapter 222 - Death of Ding Chunqiu
As time passed, Ding Chunqiu's expression became more and more unsightly. The moment he saw the black mist appear in Ling Xiao's palm, he knew that the situation wasn't good, but because he had already used all of his strength, he had no way of stopping.
He had originally thought that after cultivating for so many years, with his deep roots, not only would he not be able to suppress Ling Xiao, he also wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
But the moment they touched, Ding Chunqiu regretted it.
He had wanted to send his Yin Poison Qi into Ling Xiao's body to absorb his opponent's powerful inner strength, but he did not expect Ling Xiao's Yin Poison Qi to be even more terrifying and tyrannical, and actually broke through his attack and defense, instantly rushing to his own dantian.
In just an instant, it had instead become Ling Xiao absorbing Ding Chunqiu's inner strength.
Old dog Ding, as expected of the old Jianghu, the Zhen Qi in your Dantian is truly abundant. Although it is not by much compared to mine, it is still at least a piece of delicious streaky pork. Ling Xiao looked at the Ding Chunqiu who was unable to struggle free, and laughed coldly.
"Let me go, I was wrong, I was just joking, I didn't think that I would make a move, I was just trying to scare them, I don't want to take the Divine Wood King Cauldron, I was just casually saying it, let me go." Under the threat of death, Ding Chunqiu began to plead, to the point of not claiming to be alive.
"These kinds of words are meaningless now. You should save it for the Infernal Realm. I believe you will suffer for your sins." Ling Xiao laughed coldly, but he had actually increased his strength. The True Qi in his body was released continuously, and recklessly invaded Ding Chunqiu's Dantian.
It was like drinking water. If he were to raise the cup, he would only stop when he reached the bottom.
Even though Ding Chunqiu's inner force was strong, but under Ling Xiao's bottomless inner force, he was still nothing. In just the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Ding Chunqiu had completely absorbed all of the inner force and true essence in his body.
Seeing the Ding Chunqiu in front of him whose face was completely pale and had lost all color, Ling Xiao revealed an extremely disgusted expression, because the current Ding Chunqiu was no longer as energetic as he was from the start. The current him had already become completely deflated, becoming a withered old man without any spirit.
After absorbing it all, Ling Xiao finally let go of his hand and let Ding Chunqiu fall onto the ground. He knew that Ding Chunqiu was already crippled and could only wait to die.
Because he had been absorbing the venom all year round, Ding Chunqiu's body had become extremely numb, and even a little old. Now, without the support of his strong inner force, the poison in his body would instantly burst out, and even if Ling Xiao did not take action, Ding Chunqiu would definitely not live past the next three days.
"If I don't kill you, when do you think you'll die?" Ling Xiao looked down from above at Ding Chunqiu, and laughed sinisterly.
Sensing Ling Xiao's terror, Ding Chunqiu's eyes were filled with dread. However, the current him, was actually having difficulty even speaking.
"Perhaps this method of dying is the right way to take care of the evil that you have committed. Your actions caused me to feel extremely displeased. Therefore, your sect can be eliminated just like this. Keeping them around is also a disaster." Ling Xiao said coldly.
Hearing that, Ding Chunqiu immediately raised his hand, as if wanting to urge his to stay and beg.
But Ling Xiao did not turn back and left. After he left, all the commoners around them slowly approached Ding Chunqiu.
Seeing that Ding Chunqiu no longer had the strength to fight back, one by one, they became more courageous.
"Sect Master Ling, is that really okay?" Xu Zhu looked at the black mass of people in the distance, and her expression was a little unnatural.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao said indifferently: "If you feel guilty, you can leave this world with him. In any case, with your abilities, you won't be able to stop the poison from continuing to erode, right?"
Hearing that, Xu Zhu's face changed, she shook her head and clasped her hands together: "Sect Master Ling's decision cannot be wrong, Sect Leader Ding has committed many evil deeds and has committed many bad karma, this kind of death is well-deserved."
"Although the buddhist faith emphasizes on benevolence, it does not only care about tolerance, otherwise, you would be stupid. I believe that after your Master knows what you are thinking, he will definitely scold you." Ling Xiao glanced at Xu Zhu and said.
Hearing that, Xu Zhu immediately lowered her head and said: "Sect Master Ling is right."
Facing the only person who could save his life, Xu Zhu did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.
"You want me to save you?" Ling Xiao saw through Xu Zhu's thoughts with a glance.
Xu Zhu blushed and nodded.
"Sit down cross-legged and relax your body." Sit cross-legged, relax your body. Ling Xiao said as he nodded his head.
After helping Xu Zhu to purge the poison from her body, Xu Zhu stood up and said goodbye, as he still had a mission to complete, and needed to change her fate.
did not have a high position in the Jianghu, but his reputation was spread far and wide, so his death must be a big news. Furthermore, with Xu Zhu's announcement, the authenticity of the matter was even higher.
The most important thing was that he was the one who killed Ding Chunqiu. Ling Xiao was really looking forward to see what kind of news the Jianghu would hear after hearing of this.
Following that, Ling Xiao helped the pitiful Beggar Gangs disciple remove the poison in her body and transferred some of her inner force to him as a reward for fighting against Ding Chunqiu.
"Thank you, Sect Master Ling!" The Beggar Gangs disciple who was treated felt the strong inner strength in her body and immediately knelt down excitedly. She did not know how to express her gratitude at this moment, and could only say this.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao said indifferently: "This is your chance, remember to grasp it well and cultivate well, in the future, you will have to contribute even more to Beggar Gangs."
"Yes!" Please rest assured Sect Master Ling, this humble one will definitely serve Beggar Gangs until the end! " This Beggar Gangs disciple had an imposing manner, and his blood was boiling as he spoke.
When the Beggar Gangs disciples saw this scene, they were naturally speechless and envious. One could see the thirst and envy in their eyes.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao said indifferently: "All those who have done well will definitely reward you guys, I hope that you all will be able to make an outstanding contribution to Beggar Gangs."
"Yes!" Sect Master Ling! " The Beggar Gangs disciples shouted in unison.
After that, Ling Xiao ordered them to escort Ling Er to the Beggar Gangs and give her to Ah Zi. If Ah Zi knew about Ling Er's background, she would naturally take care of her.
They all wanted to personally escort them, but for the sake of safety, Ling Xiao had them send a few more people to escort him.
