Chapter 916: Containing the Anti-Mountain Six-Eyed Demon King
.....
Having said that, Lu Ding stepped right over Yan Yage's body.
Those Tianwu investigators who had originally been nearby but were later forced to the distance by the shockwaves of the battle watched as the fight concluded.
It felt as if, at this moment, it wasn't Lu Ding walking towards them, but a raging flood or a ferocious beast bearing down.
Even though Lu Ding wasn't exuding any aura right now.
It was more terrifying than any situation they had ever experienced in their lives before.
In an instant, many gazes fell upon An Ning.
With almost no hesitation whatsoever.
Tianwu investigators immediately shouted: "Seize her!!!"
Although they felt in their hearts that Lu Ding probably wouldn't attack them.But what if he did?
Only by having a hostage in hand.
Could they feel at ease.
Just then, the two Bureau Chiefs of Asura Street, in a flash, blocked the path in front of An Ning.
Submitting to Yan Yage had not been their best choice.
Regardless, Yan Yage had just arrived; whether her cultivation was powerful or her background extraordinary.
The investigators of Asura Street, though they no longer possessed the fierce, bloody spirit of their days as the final bastion, still worshipped the strong.
Compared to Yan Yage.
After the situation in New City changed, being in the same western region, if they absolutely had to have a special envoy looming over them, they would much prefer that person to be Lu Ding.
After all, White Ridge, Path of Dry Bones, and other places were living proof.
Although many people died, many were purged.
Under Lu Ding's leadership.
Conditions in these places were visibly improving day by day.
The current situation directly and unequivocally confirmed their initial thoughts.
Corpse-Shattering Taishui truly lived up to his name.
Now that Yan Yage was dead.
As for the grudge between her and Lu Ding, the two Bureau Chiefs of Asura Street didn't want to concern themselves with it.
They only knew that from now on, they would submit to Lu Ding and be under his jurisdiction.
Since that was the case, now was the time for them to demonstrate whether they could be suitable subordinates.
As the two Bureau Chiefs blocked the way!
The Tianwu investigators who had hoped to seize An Ning as a hostage instantly felt despair.
Given Lu Ding's strength, only if they had acted smoothly just now would they have had a sliver of a chance to retreat with a hostage.
Just a sliver!!
Now that they were blocked, it was over, not even a sliver remained.
Immediately, a Tianwu investigator turned around.
He wanted to question Lu Ding, to roar at him, but he didn't expect that terrifying figure to appear directly behind him.
Carrying a foul, sinister wind, more vicious than a demon, more evil than a monster!!!
In his dazed state, he felt Lu Ding's form swelling, towering, transforming into a dragon, its maw full of sharp fangs and teeth, as if the next second, he would become food in its mouth, just like the previous Demonic Youth.
Chewed up and spat out!
The man couldn't bear the immense pressure of such terror and immediately fell onto his backside.
The look Lu Ding gave him was full of mockery.
His fighting spirit had been completely ground away, how did someone like this even become an investigator.
Of course, he didn't kill these people either.
His gaze shifted, looking at the two Asura Street Bureau Chiefs blocking An Ning.
These two were among the rare few in New City where the Bureau Chief and Deputy Bureau Chief hadn't fallen out and still maintained a good relationship.
Although they had some issues too.
But the two were survivors from the great battles back when Asura Street was the final bastion.
With no major faults, plus that background.
It made Lu Ding's tone much more agreeable: "From now on, Asura Street is under my control. Do you two have any objections?"
The two men clasped their hands together in unison: "We are at your service, Special Envoy Lu!"
Lu Ding nodded, glancing at the others nearby: "Take them into custody for now."
With these words, no one dared to speak, no one dared to resist.
They could only silently accept Lu Ding's arrangement of their fate.
After finishing all this, Lu Ding finally looked at his newly acquired reward.
[Contained Monster: Anti-Mountain Six Eyes]
[Containment Reward: Gold-Shattering Stone-Breaking Blast]
[Gold-Shattering Stone-Breaking Blast: One breath of lung-metal energy, a hundred thousand souls sent to burial, crushing the rotten and breaking the withered, destroying heaven and annihilating earth]
Another high-powered spell.
Moreover, as Lu Ding carefully comprehended it, this thing was not only more powerful than most of the spells he possessed, but it also had growth potential.
Anti-Mountain Six Eyes belonged to one of the Five Heavenly Demon Kings.
It is recorded in the [Primordial Immeasurable Salvation of People Supreme Wondrous Scripture].
The White Heavenly Demon King has one head and six eyes, its strength can shatter mountains, it roams the Three Realms... it drains people's lung energy.
It corresponds to the Five Elements: Metal, the Five Colors: White, the Five Seasons: Autumn, the Five Directions: West, the Five Transformations: Harvest, the Five Qi: Dryness, the Five Sense Organs: Nose, the Five Viscera: Lungs, the Five...
Put together, the explanation is: Nourish lung energy stored in the body, release it through a snorting breath, shatter gold and break stone, embodying the desolation and withering of autumn.
High power, long duration, capable of growth, still can be activated instantly with zero frames, the snorting breath issued from the mouth and nose, catching people off guard, those hit are reduced to dust and obliterated.
Thinking of this.
Lu Ding couldn't help but recall the supernatural abilities of Zheng Lun and Chen Qi, the "Hum and Ha" Generals from the Investiture of the Gods.
These two were originally ordinary people, later apprenticed under Master Du E, learned the snorting breath technique, and thus became generals of the Shang Dynasty.
They rendered much service for the Shang Dynasty.
Taoist texts also have records about the snorting breath.
Of course, this is other people's cultivation, and even the incomplete version had such power.
Counting carefully.
Whether it's the Hum and Ha Generals or the Taoist snorting breath, they are all watered-down versions.
The original was the innate supernatural ability of this Anti-Mountain Six Eyes, the White Heavenly Demon King.
It's just that humans and demons are ultimately different; humans cultivating demonic arts harms others without benefiting oneself, so it was modified.
Moreover, the physiology is different; human lung energy is insufficient. If it were the original version, one's lungs would probably explode before even using it.
That's why the version was modified to weaken the power, using clever methods to target the soul.
But the original ability of the snorting breath's owner, Anti-Mountain Six Eyes, was to destroy the physical body first, then capture the soul for consumption.
Later, after modification, it became directly targeting the soul.
No longer targeting the physical body, weakening the direct power, avoiding damage to the lungs.
But what Lu Ding obtained now was the complete version, shattering the physical body, forcibly seizing the soul.
As for whether his body could withstand this issue.
[White Snake Shakes Scales] indicated that it was finally a bit challenging.
Although Lu Ding was also human, given his robust physical condition, most of the side effects of the complete snorting breath [Gold-Shattering Stone-Breaking Blast] could be avoided.
[White Snake Shakes Scales] could perfectly solve that remaining small portion, allowing Lu Ding to use it without injury and slaughter enemies freely.
If he didn't have [White Snake Shakes Scales], perhaps Lu Ding would also resemble a certain version of Investiture of the Gods' portrayal of Chen Qi, with a face purplish-green and greenish-purple.
Why?
The snorting breath comes from the lungs, issued through the mouth and nose. Using it too much, you'd turn green from holding your breath.
Back when Lu Ding watched that version of Investiture of the Gods, he thought the makeup was too ugly.
Now thinking about it, it's utterly reasonable.
The screenwriter and director understood.
"Five Heavenly Demon Kings, corresponding to the Five Directions: West, and it just happened to appear in the western region. I wonder... if the other four directions might also have the existence of the other four Heavenly Demon Kings."
