Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Yang Lianting Faces Death Without Fear! The Needle Light Appears

"But the arrow is on the string and must be released. Elder Tong, don’t overestimate yourself and be unaware of the consequences!"

"Who doesn’t know the consequences is yet to be determined."

Elder Tong wasn’t afraid in the slightest and gave an order.

Clang clang clang!

A group of people swarmed forward, bows drawn and arrows pointed at Qu Feiyan, Ding Ling, Zhang Hex, and Consort Yhu’s group.

Ding Ling felt a flicker of anger in his heart.

Before the arrows were released, the Vigorous Qi from the Breathing Technique and the True Qi from the Pure Yang True Skill merged, boom! His body flashed like lightning, and a single palm swept through the air like a gale, swish swish swish!

A continuous series of slaps reverberated through the Celestial Extreme.

Looking again, there lay a terrain scattered with archers!

There were as many as a hundred archers.

Yet Ding Ling easily knocked them down with a few swift strikes.

"What just happened?!"

Tong Baixiong was in shock.

But how could he possibly understand?

Whenever Ding Ling struck a palm, the explosion of immense Vigorous Qi would send a person flying back no less than a hundred meters. This great force propelled a person horizontally, knocking over or sending flying countless others.

Because of this.

In just a few strikes.

Ding Ling killed more than ten leading archers.

The remaining dozens of archers were completely knocked into the air or swept away by the bodies of the leading archers.

But Ding Ling’s speed was too fast.

No one could see how he made his moves.

Even Ren Woxing merely knew that Ding Ling had struck, but couldn’t see how many strikes he launched.

Everyone was stunned. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Their gaze toward Ding Ling changed.

"Do you still wish to block my way?"

Ding Ling coldly stared at Tong Baixiong:

"If you block me again, I don’t mind killing you!"

They refused to listen when spoken to calmly.

They insisted on threats, even targeting Qu Feiyan and others with arrows.

This was absolutely unacceptable to Ding Ling!

"You, you, you..."

Tong Baixiong was shaken, horrified, and intimidated by Ding Ling’s gaze and aura, involuntarily retreating two steps.

"Let’s go in."

Ren Woxing exchanged a glance with Xiaang Wentian, took the opportunity to advance, knocked Tong Baixiong down, and tied him up, following them into the Main Hall.

[Achievement Medal obtained: Intimidate Tong Baixiong.]

[Note: As an Elder with unparalleled power and prestige within the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, Tong Baixiong rarely feared anyone. You are the first person to truly make him feel fear deep in his heart!]

Ding Ling heard the prompt.

He didn’t pay much mind to it.

He simply followed them into the Main Hall.

There he saw the impostor Sect Leader hiding behind the scenes: Yang Lianting.

Yang Lianting was tall and robust, with a full beard and an aura of manliness, extremely charismatic.

Ordinary people who took one look at him

would unconsciously be drawn to him.

When Ding Ling first saw him, he was secretly astonished. Although Yang Lianting wasn’t particularly handsome, his high Charm Value was somewhat strange; even he, as a man, felt a strange sense of attraction upon first sight.

’No wonder he could make Dongfang Bubai infatuated in the novels.’

Ding Ling realized.

Watching as Ren Yingying knocked Yang Lianting to the ground, after some intimidation.

Yang Lianting did not back down but instead laughed heartily:

"Do whatever you wish. If I, Yang Lianting, so much as frown, then I’m unworthy!"

"Yang Lianting."

Tong Baixiong seemed angry too:

"So it was you causing trouble in the sect these years! I was puzzled as to how my good brother could suddenly become so muddle-headed, turns out it was you playing tricks. Don’t worry, as long as I regain my freedom, the first person I’ll kill is you!"

"Just you?"

Yang Lianting mocked, seeming uninterested in saying more to Tong Baixiong.

"If you don’t speak, I’ll kill you."

Ren Yingying’s delicate hand raised slightly, aiming at Yang Lianting’s neck with the edge of her hand.

Yang Lianting, on the other hand, laughed and charged at the blade.

Ren Yingying was startled and quickly stepped back two steps.

Yang Lianting raised his head and laughed hysterically:

"Laozi has lived long enough, don’t you all want to kill me? Come on, do it already!"

"This..."

Ren Yingying found herself in a dilemma, unconsciously looking at Ding Ling.

Standing beside Ding Ling.

She instantly seemed indecisive.

Ding Ling was also quite perplexed; having read novels and watched TV dramas, this was not the Yang Lianting he knew, why did he appear so unusual today?

What was off?

Ding Ling couldn’t figure it out and merely said:

"Black Wood Cliff is only so large. Let’s divide and search; we should find some secret passages or the like. As long as Dongfang Bubai hasn’t left Black Wood Cliff, we will find him."

"Makes sense."

Ren Woxing’s eyes brightened:

"We have enough people, let’s equip ourselves with some weapons and clothes of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect members, blend in, and move cautiously, it’s not impossible. Let’s do it."

Yang Lianting furrowed his brows upon hearing this, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, he remained silent, only looking at the crowd with a resolute expression.

"Should we get rid of him?"

Xiaang Wentian glanced at Yang Lianting:

"After all, leaving this menace alive is of no use."

Ding Ling said nothing.

Xiaang Wentian then raised his knife, chopping toward Yang Lianting’s neck.

Yang Lianting didn’t even try to dodge.

He slightly raised his neck, exposing it.

Heading straight for the blade.

Slash!

As the blade’s light streaked through the air, eyes watched as Yang Lianting was about to lose his life here.

Bang!

A needle-like beam flashed through the air, accompanied by a loud bang, hitting the blade, causing Xiaang Wentian to grunt from the impact, his hand trembling, nearly dropping the large knife to the ground.

"Who?"

Xiaang Wentian yelled angrily.

It was noticed suddenly.

In the upper right corner of the Main Hall, there stood a graceful silhouette.

The owner of the silhouette was familiar to everyone.

"Bai Wushuang!"

"Why is it you?!"

Ren Woxing, Ren Yingying, and their group were startled and astonished.

"Why are you here?"

Xiaang Wentian shouted loudly.

"None of your business that I’m here."

Bai Wushuang, as always, used sharp words, snapping at Xiaang Wentian, then turned her beautiful eyes toward Ding Ling:

"Hero Ding, are you the one giving Yang Lianting a hard time?"

From the moment Bai Wushuang appeared, Ding Ling noticed.

He realized that Bai Wushuang seemed to have appeared from the very top of the Main Hall, and it was unexpectedly a secret pathway.

A secret pathway established above the Main Hall, what a brilliant, ingenious piece of architectural design!

No doubt.

The person who created all this must have been an extraordinarily skilled craftsman.

Thinking about the wide, steep, towering Black Wood Cliff.

And this Main Hall seemed embedded in the side of Black Wood Cliff’s peak, he understood. Only a place like this could have the conditions to build such a structure.

Seeing Bai Wushuang voicing her question.

Ding Ling respectfully responded:

"I came here to fulfill a promise, and that promise is to defeat Dongfang Bubai. I hope Miss Bai can assist me."

"Regrettably."

Bai Wushuang’s voice remained as powerful and overwhelming as ever, resonating like crashing waves against the beach:

"You are too late."
