First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!-Chapter 724: I’ll Allow You to Struggle

.....

Gao Qiuli responded with an "Mhm," then walked in formal attire towards the Ding Family's banquet hall.

They needed to go in and take their seats early.

Otherwise, if they entered after Lu Ding arrived, it would inevitably draw attention.

Details determine success or failure!

To deal with Lu Ding, these people had prepared details down to the last 120%.

Outside.

At the main entrance of the Ding Family estate.

After receiving Lu Ding's reply and arranging for the important bloodline members of the branch family to be evacuated, Ding Busi ultimately still couldn't make a firm choice.

Even though the Ding Family was in the wrong.

And he knew coming here might mean his death.

But... he bore the Ding surname, he flowed with Ding blood!

He couldn't bring himself to abandon the family, to abandon his elder brother Ding Busan and his grandson Ding Xing.

The argument he had earlier with Ding Busan, that sentence 'Elder brother, let's split the family...'

That was the most defiant thing he had ever said to Ding Busan in his life.

But Ding Busan refused.

And so, he lost his excuse to escape.

Footsteps sounded.

Ding Busan walked out with Ding Xing. When he saw Ding Busi at the entrance,

his face revealed an expression of complete control.

Like a father, or mother, holding a child's weakness—their allowance or living expenses—to manipulate them.

"Right, that's my good younger brother. As long as you listen well, your elder brother will absolutely not treat you poorly."

As he spoke, he walked over and slung an arm around Ding Busi's shoulder, just like when they were kids. "What brothers don't argue? Don't worry, elder brother won't take it to heart. We will witness the rise of the Ding Family together!!!"

Ding Busi's eyes were complex. "Elder brother..."

Somehow, he suddenly felt a pang of regret for sending that message to Lu Ding.

Twisted people are like this;even after making a decision, they look back and regret it.

Then they make the wrong choice again.

Ding Busan sensed his emotional shift and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ding Busi remained silent for a long while.

In his heart, the struggle tilted towards the Ding Family. The thought of possibly helping his elder brother take action later gradually gained the upper hand on the scale of reason.

In a moment of impulse, he blurted out, "I..."

Before he could say he had sent a message to Lu Ding, leaking their plan,

a formidable aura rumbled across the sky.

Shattering the dark clouds.

Everyone looked towards the source.

They saw a figure in scholar-warrior sleeves and a dark robe.

Such distinctive attire.

In the entire New City, it was one of a kind.

Like an ID card—once revealed, his identity was basically beyond doubt.

That was the Corpse-Shattering Taishui, Lu Ding!!!!

Ding Busan raised a hand. "Tell me later. Let's deal with the main matter first."

He stepped forward.

Cupping his hands towards the sky, he activated his spiritual energy, amplifying his voice. "I have long heard of Grand Duke Lu's great name. Seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary! Ding Busan, along with the entire Ding Family, welcomes the Grand Duke!"

Ding Busan gave a half-bow.

In his heart, he thought, I'll give you face first. Once you step through the Ding Family gate, you'll be a turtle in a jar!!!!

Little did he know.

Lu Ding had no intention of following his script at all.

You really think I'm here for a banquet?

To drink wine and give you a chance to poison me?

Enter your mother's place, I'm starting the killing from the doorway!

Since I already know the enemies are all gathered and there's an ambush inside,

why would I go in?

Think this is a movie?

Where I have to go in, exchange toasts, engage in hypocritical pleasantries, follow some inexplicable procedure, only to end up surrounded and fighting my way back out? Pointless.

Lu Ding didn't have that much free time. Skip, skip, skip!!!

Riding the wind down, his gaze fell, seeing Ding Busi was actually still here.

Then there was nothing more to say.

Ding Busan saw Lu Ding land.

He hurried forward to greet him.

"Quickly, quickly, Special Envoy, please come inside, please come inside."

Lu Ding raised his hand in a loose grip. The Red Coffin behind him opened, countless petals rushing out. In the blink of an eye, they coalesced into a dark, patterned longsword.

Without a single wasted word.

Slash!!!!!

Mountain-Splitting Slash, from top to bottom.

The sudden attack shattered all the mental preparations Ding Busan had made, catching him completely off guard.

Watching the longsword trail a beautiful, petal-scattering special effect in the air, a magnificent sight.

This was the last beautiful scene of the mortal world Ding Busan saw before his death.

He also heard the last human words at the end of his life, from Lu Ding: "Please your mother!!!!"

'Please come inside'?

He'd send him down below instead!

The King of Hell's Palace is calling you.

Ding Busan was split from head to toe, cleaved in two. Severed limbs and chunks of flesh flew to both sides, a bloody mist exploding!!!

"Elder brother!!!!!"

Ding Busi cried out in anguish. He hadn't expected Lu Ding to act so suddenly either.

Hadn't he sent the message?

Shouldn't Lu Ding, considering his attitude, try to see if there was room for negotiation?

Even if negotiation was impossible and a fight was inevitable,

he might have even helped Lu Ding.

Why did it have to be like this?

He never once questioned his own true heart. The deepest thought in his mind for still standing here was to side with family over reason, to persist in error, to walk the path with the Ding Family even if it was wrong.

To put it plainly, if a fight broke out, there was a high probability he would help Ding Busan and the Wuwang members.

His shout made Lu Ding glance back, casting an ice-cold gaze.

Since he had told him in advance, 'Those who don't stand before me are the common people.'

Whether Ding Busi didn't understand or pretended not to understand,

since he dared to stand together with these people who wanted to ambush and surround Lu Ding, blocking the way,

then his fate was only one.

Death!!!!!

Black energy erupted from his body, darkening the sky. A character for 'death,' flowing with viscous blood-red, descended like a mountain peak, pressing down towards Ding Busi.

Lu Ding swung his sword backhandedly.

Slash!!!

Fluttering petals scattered, splattered with blood.

Ding Busi was diagonally cleaved in two.

Half his corpse, still attached to his head, his eyes gradually glazing over.

"Lu Ding, you..."

Lu Ding casually released the sword. Instantly, the blade disassembled, transforming into a sky full of fluttering petals.

"Good advice is hard to give to a ghost destined to die. The good advice came first. You didn't listen, so you can only become a ghost."

By now, Ding Xing had long been stunned senseless by the sudden turn of events.

His enemy, Ding Busan, was just... dead like that?

His paternal grandfather, also dead like that?

Lu Ding came and just started fighting?

He...

Although he had tipped off Lu Ding, he never imagined Lu Ding would come and act directly, skipping any and all formalities.

Even if it was a Hongmen Feast,

you had to actually go in and participate for it to be called a Hongmen Feast.

Starting the fight at the main gate, what kind of 'gate' is that?

Now the situation was beyond control.

In the blink of an eye, two Fifth Restriction cultivators were dead, their bodies incomplete.

Ding Xing's mind was filled with: Danger! Danger! Danger!!!

Instinctively, his body reacted faster than his brain.

He turned and tried to run.

Lu Ding reached out a hand, grabbing Ding Xing by the back of the neck.

Lifted him up!

"Thinking of running now? Too late!!"

For me, smash!!!!

Boom!!!!

Slammed viciously onto the ground, the impact cracking Ding Xing's internal organs.

Lu Ding raised his leg, War Stomp!!!

Stomped straight down on his head.

Black energy swirled past his leg, seemingly outlining the muscle lines, like a hydraulic press slamming down. The visual tension was maxed out at this moment!!!

"Grand Duke Lu, wait a..."

Ding Xing vomited blood and shouted.

Splat!!

Like a watermelon exploding.

His head shattered, the ground shook, cracked, and churned.

Collapsing entire sections of the Ding Family estate buildings.

Wait a moment?

Lu Ding couldn't wait a single bit. He didn't need to think to know what Ding Xing would say—nothing more than revealing his identity, saying he was the one who sent the letter, and so on.

That talk was meaningless.

Lu Ding and Fu Xinghe had already figured it out. No need to hear him repeat it. Even if he said it, Lu Ding wouldn't spare him just because he sent a letter.

So, no need to listen. Just die!

Only then did the Wuwang members inside the Ding Family banquet hall rush out.

Can't blame them for being too slow.

It was truly that Lu Ding's actions were too fast.

Land, one slash kills Ding Busan. Backhand slash kills Ding Busi.

Finally stomps Ding Xing to pulp.

Everything happened in an instant. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

They had heard Ding Busan's voice earlier and were mentally prepared to fight once Lu Ding entered and the timing was right.

Who knew Lu Ding simply wouldn't enter?

He even started fighting outside.

When they came out and saw the scene of ruins, bloodstains, severed limbs, broken arms, and that figure billowing with black smoke, eyes glowing with red light,

only then did the Wuwang members belatedly realize.

There was a traitor in the organization!!!

Eyes glowing with red light swept over the group of Wuwang members. Lu Ding's ferocious grin leaked ink-black smoke and spiritual energy. His declaration remained as arrogant as ever.

"I, allow you to struggle."
