044 Bumper Harvest
044 Bumper Harvest
Ning Kui became increasingly engrossed in killing, and the number of Yin energy points on the stone tablet was rapidly increasing.
If the forbidden area weren't so vast, he could have fought his way to the Bone Refining Realm today.
Later on, the weaker water beasts didn't even dare to show their heads, and those at the Foundation Establishment stage would turn away when they saw him.
The number of water beasts at the Core Formation stage is too small. If Ning Kui really encountered one, he would not linger and would simply ride away on the white-spotted ghost fish.
Countless water blades danced around him, and any water beast that stepped within his thirty-foot range was hacked to death.
The birthmark on his back, resembling a deity, continuously extended black tentacles, pulling the water beast's corpse into his body.

【Characteristics: Enhanced flesh and blood regeneration ability, muscles become gnarled and twisted like willow catkins, muscle groups become more independent and flexible, and can unleash a force of 20,000 jin】
[Yin Qi Point: 4700]
Ning Kui glanced at the stone tablet when he had a moment to spare, and was filled with happiness.
He decisively pushed his martial arts realm to the Great Perfection of the Flesh Refining Realm.
A powerful surge of heat instantly coursed through his body, creating a visible temperature difference in the lake water wherever it passed.
[Martial Arts Realm: Flesh Refining Realm (Great Perfection), Progress (2500/5000)]
[Characteristics: Flesh and blood regeneration evolves into limb regeneration, which is slow; damage to vital organs is irreversible; muscles solidify into a whip-like shape, capable of unleashing a force of 30,000 jin.]
[Yin Qi Point: 2700]
Just as he was pondering whether to test his sword on a Core Formation Realm water beast, a seven-colored Gu worm suddenly poked its head out of his waist pocket and spoke in human language.
"Little brother, are you gone yet? That old mudfish is going back to its crystal palace."
Ning Kui's boiling state suddenly felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe.
They were having so much fun killing that they forgot about time!
However, it has only been less than an incense stick's time since the Flood Dragon King left, so it is normal that Ning Kui could not control himself.
Anyone who enters a labyrinth full of treasures wouldn't give up exploring so quickly.
He didn't have time to farm any more Yin energy points and hurriedly ordered the white-spotted ghost fish to escape towards the entrance.
From afar, he saw a black alligator snapping turtle waking up from the ground, its body shaking.
A mysterious and wondrous feeling followed.
The surrounding water became thicker, and his and the white-spotted ghost fish's speed dropped significantly.
Supernatural!
This giant tortoise also possesses innate supernatural abilities!
Normally, Ning Kui would just slowly wear it down, but now that the Flood Dragon King is returning, even if it personally takes action, any monster at the Origin Tracing Realm would be enough to give him a hard time!
Liberate binge eating!
Ning Kui's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. If he didn't use all his trump cards now, would he be saving his skills for a one-on-one fight with the Flood Dragon King?
The enhanced [Water Control] ability rapidly stripped away the heavy water, minimizing the influence of the alligator snapping turtle water beast on itself.
At the same time, it propelled the white-spotted ghost fish toward the giant turtle like an arrow.
White-spotted Ghost Fish: No, are you coming again?
Fortunately, Ning Kui still had some conscience; he was simply accelerating.
Upon reaching the giant tortoise, he let the white-spotted ghost fish roam freely, then swiftly drew his twin knives and plunged them into its neck.
Combined with its high-speed gliding motion, the hundred-forged blade swiftly pierced two huge gashes, tearing open the flesh.
"Aww!!!"
The immense pain enraged the giant tortoise, instantly making the surrounding water flow even heavier, like a water prison, tightly binding Ning Kui.
The giant tortoise itself twisted its neck at an incredible angle and swallowed Ning Kui whole.
"Depend on……"
Ning Kui cursed under his breath, preparing to dodge first, when he suddenly saw the white-spotted ghost fish rushing from below the giant turtle.
Its 13-foot-tall size looked as tiny as a child facing an adult compared to the giant tortoise.
However, its fearless charge still knocked the giant tortoise's head off course, almost grazing Ning Kui's body as it missed its target.
"collapse!!!"
The sound of its upper and lower jaws clenching tightly was so clear.
A huge wound burst open on the head of the white-spotted ghost fish, its eyes rolled back, and it spun as it plummeted to the bottom of the lake.
Ning Kui's eyes immediately turned red with envy. He grabbed the giant tortoise's head with both arms and suddenly spun it around.
The magical flying stone was then activated.
Ning Kui's mastery of the Flying Stone Technique was enough to throw objects ten times his own weight. This giant tortoise, which was ten zhang in diameter and weighed more than 100,000 jin, was also sent flying by Ning Kui's swing.
Then it was suddenly thrown into the abyss in the center of the forbidden ruins.
By the time it swam back, Ning Kui had already fled.
"Old tortoise, I don't have time for you today. I'll come back another day to collect your turtle... dog head!"
He manipulated the water flow to lift the unconscious white-spotted ghost fish behind him, and then quickly emerged from the forbidden area.
Not long after he escaped from the dark cave, he saw the Flood Dragon King leading several powerful demons at the Origin Realm back to Kunze Lake.
The mighty Dragon King naturally didn't need to crawl through a hole like him; with a swipe of his dragon claw, he opened a new entrance to the forbidden ruins.
Once everything calmed down, Ning Kui finally felt relieved.
Overall, it was a great harvest.
Not only did Ning Kui completely eliminate the Ding family under the rules set by the imperial court, he also gained thousands of Yin Qi points.
They also retrieved the lost white-spotted ghost fish, reuniting the four kingfish to guard the house.
……
……
The fact that the Ding family was killed by the evil spirit they worshipped sent chills down the spines of all families that worship evil spirits.
Those who raise small evil spirits are alright, as low-level evil spirits do not possess such powerful curse-killing abilities.
The members of the Lin and Zhu families, however, were not so calm.
Everyone turned pale, feeling that the evil totem that had once brought them endless glory and confidence now exuded a chilling coldness.
It was as if a monstrous demon, ready to devour their flesh and drink their blood, was lurking on their backs.
Magistrate Yun paced back and forth at the disaster relief site excitedly, clapping his hands in celebration: "Excellent! The three major families are now down to only two, and everyone is in danger. It will be much easier to deal with the smaller families next."
Seeing her father's joy, and noticing the lingering pride on Zhao Wanyu and Xia Chan's faces, Yun Mengling felt inexplicably happy.
In his excitement, he even filled the porridge serving to the refugees to the brim.
"Thank you, Miss Yun. Thank you, Miss Yun."
For some reason, Yun Mengling said, "Don't thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Lord Ning Kui... and Lord Li Qijue."
"With them around, our Yugu County can only get better and better."
While Li Qijue and the others were overjoyed, in the Lin family compound, a woman with long, waist-length hair and a charming appearance lay half-naked on the bed.
Lin Wenlong sat to the side, massaging her back with eyes full of adoration.
No matter how many times his fingertips brushed against that white and smooth skin, he felt a tingling sensation.
Like first love.
It was indeed her first love.
Lin Qimo knelt a few steps away from the bed, his eyes filled with jealousy, so much so that his fingernails dug deep into his flesh.
The Ghost Mother, her eyes closed and face flushed, breathed softly, "That old mudfish cursed and killed the entire Ding family. Aren't you two afraid?"
Lin Qimo immediately raised his head and shouted, "Mother, I'm not afraid!"
Lin Wenlong glared at him hatefully and snapped, "I haven't even spoken yet, who gave you the right to say that?"
Then he looked at the Ghost Mother and said with deep affection and tenderness, "What are you afraid of? I can't wait to become one with you, Mei'er, and never be separated again."
"Hehehe, I'm not hungry yet, husband, what's the rush..."
The ghost mother giggled, covered her mouth, and sat up from the bed, her beautiful spring scenery being exposed without restraint.
Lin Wenlong immediately stepped in front of Lin Qimo, looking like a stray dog guarding its food.
A look of satisfaction flashed in the Ghost Mother's eyes. She reached out and pushed Lin Wenlong aside, not minding showing off her beauty to her next husband ahead of time.
"Since the government has made the first move, the Lin family cannot remain indifferent, can we?"
"You should also get in touch with the Zhu family; they really slapped us hard."
"We should slap them back too..."
