Chapter 74
Go save my brother-in-law!
The Blue-Eyed Ghost King initially thought he had been stabbed by a sword, but upon seeing that it was two fingers, the corners of his mouth, full of fangs, turned up slightly, and he triumphantly raised his claws, intending to pierce Yang Ding's neck.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his claws, his whole body went limp, and he knelt down in front of Yang Ding.
The powerful pulse of true energy blasted its internal organs to smithereens.
It looked up at Yang Ding in disbelief, as if cursing, "You old bastard, you actually launched a sneak attack!"
Sneak attacks are typically a specialty of the White Walkers.
Yang Ding was startled by the Ghost King's eyes. These blue ghost eyes were clear and bright, filled with confusion, resentment, and pain, much like the expression of a human.
He pierced the blue-eyed demon king's chest with his sword, twisted it wildly, destroyed the evidence of the pulse, and then held its head.
"Hey, look here! Look at your king!"
The White Walker's blue eyes stood out prominently in the darkness, and soon other White Walkers spotted them.
It sends urgent signals to its companions.
"Eh...Eh...Eh! Eh! Eh!"
The White Walkers screamed in terror and surged toward Yangding from all directions, ready to rescue their king.
"Holy crap, hurry and save my brother-in-law!"
Fang Dalong brandished his knife and chased after him.
Apart from Mao Jian closely following him, no one dared to go to his rescue.
Lieutenant Sun looked smug; he could finally complete the task assigned to him by General Zhao of the Northern Guard.
Yang Ding showed no panic. He gripped his sword with both hands and beheaded the Ghost King in an execution-like manner.
He stuck two fingers into the Ghost King's nostrils, raised the slippery head, and roared, "Those who eat my human race shall die!"
"Charge! Save Captain Yang! He killed the Ghost King!"
Seeing that even the Ghost King had been killed, the students' confidence was rekindled, and they chased after the Ghost Soldiers, hacking away fiercely. They even managed to kill one of the hairy swords.
The remaining dozen or so White Walkers scurried into the cave and fled in panic.
Inside the temporary command center of the law enforcement bureau, Zhou Ruoxi looked at Yang Ding with some surprise.
It was all too chaotic just now; she didn't see how he killed the Ghost King.
According to information from the Northern Territory, the Ghost King's combat strength is equivalent to a mid-to-lower level second-grade martial artist.
She only saw Yang Ding carry out the execution, pick up the Ghost King's head, and shout out that melodramatic yet passionate roar.
The execution of the opposing leader was indeed a shocking and impactful method.
"Ask Lieutenant Sun if he saw how Yang Ding subdued the Ghost King," Zhou Ruoxi asked.
"Reporting to the Governor, he said he used a sword-sweeping technique."
"Just one move, the Sweeping Sword Style?"
"Yes, just one move, the Sweeping Sword Style."
The governor's secretary quickly reminded him, "Yang Ding's sword-sweeping technique is said to be very skilled and innovative. He defeated Xiang Tianyou and became the captain of Class 2 with this move."
"Look, he's not so bad either. It seems Ye Rou has some skill in training men. Maybe her sister taught her. I heard Ye Ke inherited her mother's intelligence."
"Yes, Governor."
The secretary couldn't understand why the governor kept staring at Yang Ding.
In her eyes, Yang Ding was utterly useless.
"Tell them that today is only the first day, and to continue investigating the Queen of the Demons' hiding place."
"Yes."
Yang Ding threw the Ghost King's head on the ground and took out a tissue to wipe the sticky liquid off his hands.
"Take stock of the casualties. The rest of you, rest where you are, eat some White Walker meat to replenish your energy, and wait for the law enforcement team to come to your rescue."
"Captain Yang, ten of our students have died, seven boys and three girls, and eight others are injured."
"Where are the White Walkers?"
"We killed twenty-two White Walkers."
Yang Ding looked at Lieutenant Sun and said, "Please notify the enforcement team to come and collect the bodies and the wounded."
"They're coming soon. Command has ordered us to keep moving forward and stay for the full three days."
Lieutenant Sun was stunned by his performance just now.
This guy isn't some weakling.
Even he wouldn't dare say he'd win for sure; the Ghost King's speed, coupled with his own claw weapon, made him a formidable opponent.
Since the Ghost King has been killed by Qian, how can he kill Fang Dalong?
Everyone rested where they were, with Fang Dalong sitting next to Yang Ding.
"No wonder my sister always praised your sweeping sword technique; it turns out you really have some skill."
"Are you starting to have a bit of reverence for me, your brother-in-law?"
Fang Dalong took out some dry rations. "It's not that bad. It's mainly because your black gold sword is sharp."
Yang Ding took out a crispy roast suckling pig and spread it out.
"Just because you dared to rush over here, regardless of whether you acknowledge me as your brother-in-law or not, I've decided you're my brother-in-law."
"I only care about my sister. I have no problem with her liking you. Just be careful of my parents. They opposed my sister registering her marriage on her own. They all wanted her to marry the grandson of the Lord of Donghai City. Space-type geniuses are in high demand."
"We don't usually keep in touch, so what can she do to me? At worst, I'll just disown your sister as my daughter."
This remark amused Fang Dalong.
"Okay, based on what you said, I'll temporarily accept you as my brother-in-law."
Yang Ding took the water Mao Jian handed him and pointed to Lieutenant Sun, who was discussing things in the corner.
"Then you'll come with us, but be careful of them."
"They probably wouldn't dare do anything to me, right?"
Yang Ding, who had previously targeted counselors, was certainly experienced.
"Why wouldn't we dare? If we feed it to the White Walkers, we won't even find a bone."
Mao Jian leaned closer and said, "Xiang Tianyou has lost half of his face."
"What does 'gone' mean?"
"That ghost king tore off a piece of flesh; it was terrifying."
Yang Ding looked over upon hearing the sound and saw Huang Bingbing feeding Xiang Tianyou medicine to heal his injuries.
"Bingbing, it hurts so much, it hurts so much."
"The painkiller will work immediately, so stop screaming."
"My face is gone."
Xiang Tianyou's speech was unclear, only showing pain.
Huang Bingbing was already extremely impatient. She raised her pistol and slammed it against his head. "What's wrong with you?"
"My God, she's finally passed out."
She picked up Xiang Tianyou's axe, walked towards the Ghost King, chopped off its hands, and put them into a bag.
Yang Ding stood up and shouted, "I killed the Ghost King! What are you doing?"
"Didn't I fight just now?"
"Everyone is fighting. The Demon King's claws are invincible. Why should I give them to you?"
"Then who are you talking to?"
"It's all from everyone. Take out ten Grade 2 Beast Cores as compensation for the injured after the mission is completed."
"Ten? Are you fucking crazy?"
Ten of them would cost 100,000 yuan.
"I know you have the ability. If you disagree, then give me the Ghost King Claw."
Yang Ding didn't want to use these foul-smelling ghost claws as weapons, but he also wouldn't allow this little poisonous woman to take advantage of him.
Huang Bingbing seemed to really like the Ghost King Claw, and gritted her teeth as she replied, "Alright, ten it is. I'll give you five first, and I'll give you five more when we get out of the cave."
Yang Ding took it, "That's more like it."
Mao Jian stared at the second-grade beast core, his mouth watering. "Brother Ding, what's the point of her spending so much money on the Ghost King Claw?"
