The obscure spells seemed to have some magical power. The Spirit-eating Insect King always fed on spiritual strength but had no feeling about the essential blood.

  But at the moment, under the influence of the spell, it went forward, wanting to absorb that drop of blood and complete the master-recognizing ceremony with Zhai Fang.

  When Zhai Fang was ecstatic, something suddenly changed.

  As a breeze blew past, Zhai Fang stood still on the spot and could not move, looked at the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him, and asked severely, “Who are you? What have you done to me?”


  “Who am I? You are not qualified to know, or do you think that the Spirit-eating Insect could autonomously evolve and become the Gu King?”


  When Ding Ning stretched out his hand with a smile, the Spirit-eating Insect King made a faint neigh and flew to his palm like a child seeing his parents, and rubbed his palm intimately time after time.

  “You removed my Gu?”


  Zhai Fang seemed to fall into an ice valley, looked at the exceptionally young face before him, and asked incredulously.

  “What do you think?” Ding Ning smiled. Since the Spirit-eating Insects had swallowed his spiritual strength and he had the character that he was unwilling to suffer a loss, how could he hurt himself to benefit others and let Zhai Fang get the profit he made?

  Previously, when the Spirit-eating Insects had no gnosis, he could do nothing, but after they ate each other and became the Gu King, Ding Ning was surprised to find that the Spirit-eating Insect King already possessed the primary intelligence, which was only equivalent to that of a one- or two-year-old infant but was already enough for him.

  It was just a matter of genetic modification. The Spirit-eating Insect King became his first insect pet with intelligence, so he decided to immediately use the clue, letting the Spirit-eating Insect King lead the way to Zhai Fang. After all, Ding Ning had not cut off the spiritual connection between them.

  The only thing that surprised him was that when he transformed the genes of the Spirit-eating Insect King, the superpower he consumed was more than the amount when he transformed the Black Panther. Thus, he looked forward to the fantastic abilities that the Spirit-eating Insect King possessed.

  Pitifully, although the Spirit-eating Insect King had the primary intelligence, its wisdom was obviously still very low and did not have the ability to communicate with him directly. He was anxious but had no ways to change the situation.

  Fearing that Zhai Fang had other ways to defeat him, Ding Ning cut off the spiritual connection between Zhai Fang and the Spirit-eating Insect King.

  “Puff!”


  Zhai Fang spat a mouthful of blood, looked ferocious like a ghost, glared viciously at Ding Ning, and shouted, “You dare to snatch my Spiritual Gu King! I will be irreconcilable with you.”


  “Are you an idiot? I can make the Spiritual Gu King you said surrender, so I’m not afraid of a small Gu master like you.”


  Ding Ning teased the Spirit-eating Insect King casually, thinking about a name for it.

  Seeing that it was as crystal as jade, Ding Ning smiled casually. “You’ll be called Xiaoyu in the future.”


  The Spirit-eating Insect King rolled once on his palm cheerfully. He did not know if it understood, but it behaved very excitedly.

  The corner of Zhai Fang’s mouth twitched. “D*mn Xiaoyu, this is a Spiritual Gu King. In our cult, after spending decades of time, several of our elders could only make a Life Spiritual Gu, not a Gu King, but this guy gave the Gu King such a vulgar name.”


  “Tell me, who are you? Who asked you to put the Gu in Crown Prince Halidan?”


  With a calm expression, Ding Ning looked at Zhai Fang peacefully.

  Zhai Fang took a painful look at Xiaoyu and said fiercely, “Humph, you robbed my Spiritual Gu King, and you also want me to betray my employer. No way.”


  “It seems that you still don’t know where you are now. I wish you were a tough guy. I like tough guys most.”


  Ding Ning had already expected this. He slowly took out a silvery seven-inch-long needle and disinfected it with an alcohol cotton ball taken from nowhere. “I am a doctor, a doctor of professional ethics. Before using the silvery needle, I must disinfect it. This is responsible for your health, and it is also the requirement for my professional quality.”


  “What, what do you want to do?”


  Looking at the seven-inch-long silvery needle flashing with cold light, Zhai Fang immediately thought of some evil scenes that were not suitable for children, such as pricking the anus and balls with a silvery needle, and asked with an angry shout.

  “Treat your disease. Don’t you know you are very sick?”


  Ding Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly, giving an innocent smile, but in the eyes of Zhai Fang, that was like the smile of a devil.

  “Don’t, don’t mess around. I am a member of Demon Cult. If you kill me, Demon Cult won’t let you off.”


  Zhai Fang pretended to be tough and shouted.

  “Ah, the disciple of Demon Cult?”


  With a shocked expression, Ding Ning muttered secretly, “Shitty Demon Cult. It sounds bad.”


  “Of course, I am Zhai Fang, one of the most outstanding disciples of the Demon Cult, highly valued in the cult. If you release me now, return the Spiritual Gu King to me, and also kowtow to apologize, I will consider sparing your life this time.”


  After saying the great name of Demon Cult, Zhai Fang thought that Ding Ning was deterred, suddenly became confident, and said arrogantly.

  “Snap!”


  Ding Ning slapped him and said calmly, “Demon Cult? I haven’t heard of it.”


  Zhai Fang was anesthetized by the Meridian Severing Hand and felt no pain, but he still knew that he had been slapped and suddenly threatened Ding Ning with shame and anger. “You dare to hit me. Our Demon Cult’s Cult Head Wu Tianxie is a great figure ranked the 317th on the Fighting List and can kill you so easily like crushing an ant, and you will have to wait for his revenge.”


  “Fighting List? What’s that?”


  Ding Ning immediately became interested and raised the silvery needle in his hand. “Tell me, maybe I’ll let you go if I am scared.”


  Zhai Fang trembled all over, stared at the long silvery needle in fear, swallowed his saliva, and explained it to him honestly.

  It turned out that there was a mysterious list-maker who called himself Tiandao in the martial arts world of Shenzhou. He made the Shenzhou Fighting List, which was used to rank the fighting power of the Shenzhou Warriors.

  No one knew who Tiandao was or how the list ranked the fighting power, let alone where these sources of information came from. It was extremely mysterious.

  The ranking of the battle list did not depend on background powers or the realm of cultivation, nor did it treat the Ancient Martial Artists, the Spiritual Masters, the National Artists, warlocks, or superpower holders differently. The evaluation standard was only based on the most real fighting power of the Warriors, and only the top 1,000 Warriors with the best fighting power could be shown on the list.

  Only then did Ding Ning know that the practicing system of the Modern Warriors was called National Art in the martial arts world. He felt that it could be counted as appropriate.

  It was said that many people despised the Fighting List when it was announced in the beginning, thinking that it was something jokingly made by those troublemakers.

  However, after going through several ranking challenges, the fighting results showed that although this list could not be counted as 100% accurate, it was still reasonable. Basically, there was no error in the evaluation of fighting power. Thus, it was recognized and respected by the martial arts world. Even the Warriors of the special departments of the country and the international warriors would judge the real fighting power of the Warriors according to the list.

  Of course, some Warriors cut the ties with the outside world and did not come out to show their power. Naturally, their names would not appear on the list, but all those Warriors who came out to show their power would be proud to see their names on the Fighting List.

  There were numerous excellent fighters in Shenzhou, where talented people remained in concealment. In this situation, the cult head of Demon Cult could even be ranked the 317th on the Fighting List. That was why Zhai Fang was so arrogant and thought that he could scare Ding Ning.

  Unfortunately, the person he met was a newcomer and hothead who had not officially entered the complicated human world, feared nothing, and could dare to beat the young master of the Long Family and flog the First Miss of the Feng Family. Besides that, he also inherited the Flowing Light Magic Artifact of the ancient great god Chiyou.

  It was hard to tell if Wu Tianxie would avenge a disciple who was obviously underappreciated in the cult. Even if he did come, Ding Ning would not fear him at all.

  What was the trouble even if he could not defeat him? He was a doctor, who could save and kill people. If he used all his strategies, he would possibly make the strong practitioners who had reached the primary level of the Real Martial Arts Realm fall into trouble, so he had no fear of Wu Tianxie, a person who was not so strong.

  In addition, Wu Tianxie, who was ranked lower than the 300th on the Fighting List, had reached the highest level of the Sky Martial Arts Realm at most according to his estimation. What he knew was that the Warriors in the whole country of Shenzhou who came out to show themselves and had reached the Real Martial Arts Realm were ten at most.

  According to Xuan Ji, as long as Wu Tianxie was still a Sky Martial Arts practitioner and their ability difference was less than two great realms, he could easily defeat him with the Flowing Light in seconds, so he did not fear him.

  Regardless of his careful planning, he still underestimated the weirdness of a sorcerer’s strategies and was unaware of the great attraction of the Spiritual Gu King to Demon Cult, so this almost caused an irreparable tragedy. Of course, this would only happen in the future, and it was needless to talk about it now.

  After getting the news he wanted from Zhai Fang, he was a little hesitant about how to deal with him.

  To kill Zhai Fang? He was too compassionate to do it. After all, he did not hate the man, and it was he who took this man’s Spirit-eating Insect King. Although killing this man was understandable because he deserved it, now Shenzhou was a country ruled by law, and he would do his best not to kill anyone. In addition, it was someone who paid Zhai Fang to deal with the trouble. Since every injustice had its perpetrator, it was fair to get even with the person behind the scenes.

  If he did not kill the man, he was afraid that the man would continue to hurt Halidan when he recovered.

  After moments of hesitation, Ding Ning decided to remove Zhai Fang’s cultivation and leave him to Halidan, who would decide whether to use him as a witness or execute him privately, but that was not his business anymore.

  “Ahh!”


  Zhai Fang screamed, lying on the ground weakly and staring viciously at Ding Ning. “I’ve told you everything you want to know, but why did you still remove my cultivation?”


  “I am merciful because I haven’t killed you, but you are still not satisfied.”


  Ding Ning was very dissatisfied with his attitude, feeling that he was very wronged.

  Unexpectedly, Zhai Fang twitched with blood coming out of his eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth and roared hysterically and angrily, “I will not let you off even if I die.”


  “Hiss”.

  With Zhai Fang’s mad chanting of spells, seven venomous insects suddenly came out of his eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth, turned into seven escaping beams of light, and vanished.

  All this happened so abruptly. Although he had been keeping an eye on Zhai Fang, he did not react in time before the seven venomous insects disappeared without a trace.

  “What have you done?”


  Ding Ning felt a little uneasy, stared at the dispirited Zhai Fang, and asked angrily.

  Zhai Fang was dying at this moment, with his face stained with the black blood that had spurted out of his eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth, looking like a ghost.

  Hearing Ding Ning’s angry questioning, Zhai Fang grinned to reveal his blood-stained teeth, with his glinting green eyes full of revenge pleasure and gave out a screaming laughter like an owl’s. “Removing my cultivation means you’ve killed me, and I have been attacked by the Gu I raised. I am bound to die, so I gave my soul to Lord Demon and will curse you with my life. I will die first, but I will wait for you in hell, and we will see each other soon, haha.”


  “Boom”.

  Zhai Fang became covered with a green luster and suddenly exploded without warning. The power was not great and did not hurt Ding Ning, but the pieces of flesh splashed his head and face, making him complain about his bad luck.

  He was not guilty about the death of Zhai Fang. The killer was bound to be killed. Just now he did not want to kill him, but it didn’t mean that he was afraid of killing and only meant that he did not want to make trouble for himself, so he even cared less about Zhai Fang’s curse.
