Chapter 408: 408
“You are talking too much nonsense,” Ding Ning said .

A weird smile hung on the corners of Ding Ning’s mouth while he was cutting ceaselessly . Initially, he cut only by the power of his muscles, but he suddenly poured his True Qi into his saber .
Horrifying 1-meter-long rays of light abruptly shot out of this silvery saber . With destructive power, it cut to the man’s face .
The man in the tuxedo suddenly stopped his ceaseless chattering . In great horror, he stared at the saber that threatened his life at this moment and exclaimed involuntarily in disbelief . “You are actually a master in the Sky Martial Arts Realm!”
But at this moment, it was too late for the man in the tuxedo to dodge . Instinctively, he leaned slightly to one side . Meanwhile, the Spiritual Energy around his whole body shone exceedingly and took the blow for him .
“Click!” There seemed to be the sound of breaking glass . With the sound, the man’s cover made of rich Spiritual Energy was shattered like the cheese striking a piece of red-hot iron . His blood splashed around .
“Ow!”
The man in the tuxedo uttered a mournful cry with a face as pale as a sheet . The man repeatedly retreated, grabbing his left arm . He was going to escape .
“How dare you target my young master? You have nowhere to go!”
As an insidious voice was sounded, Xiahou popped up like a ghost and stood in his way of escape . In a very threatening manner as aggressive as that of the man in the tuxedo, Xiahou locked his target firmly .
In an instant, the man in the tuxedo stopped moving . There was despair in his voice . He shouted his question out in a trembling voice . “A master of the ancient martial arts?!”
“You have good eyesight . ” Ding Ning praised .
Ding Ning walked up to him at a slack pace, smiling with ease . But in fact, he was horrified in his heart . He had defeated Long Xiaotian, who was also in the Sky Martial Arts Realm within two moves . Hence, he thought that masters in the Sky Martial Arts Realm could be nothing more than this .
However, Ding Ning ignored the fact that Long Xiaotian just entered the Sky Martial Arts Realm . Since his True Qi had not turned into the Spiritual Energy, he didn’t form his Spiritual Energy shield at that time . That was why Ding Ning could easily defeat him . It then gave Ding Ning a false image that a master of the Sky Martial Arts Realm was just so so . Thus, he looked down on this man at first .
But only at this moment did he find out that he had underestimated the strength of this man in the Sky Martial Arts Realm . Luckily for him, this man was so arrogant that he didn’t take Ding Ning seriously . In this case, Ding Ning managed to attack him by surprise and cut this man’s left arm off .

But if they fought open and aboveboard, Ding Ning knew he would have no chance of winning without using the most powerful skill of him . This fact secretly warned him that he must not be eaten up with pride and underestimate the heroes of the world .
No matter it was the Spiritual Energy shield of the man in the tuxedo or Xiahou’s vigorous qi body armor, they all gave him a sense of awe . Ding Ning knew that he should never insult or belittle any masters of martial arts or warriors in the Sky Martial Arts Realm .
“Are you from the Seventeenth Department or the Bureau of Religions? You cannot kill me . There is an agreement between the Bureau of Religions and the ancient martial world . ”
The man in the tuxedo shouted fiercely, but his face turned ghastly pale . He was now a bully with a coward’s heart .
“Why didn’t you say that when you wanted to kill me and rob my treasure? Now you remembered the Bureau of Religions and the Seventeenth Department . But it was late,” Ding Ning replied .
He sneered then . The man could kill whoever he wanted to kill . However, he asked Ding Ning to follow the agreement and spare his life now . In his heart, Ding Ning extremely hated to see him operating such double standards .
Xiahou cast a glance at Ding Ning, still with the same calm composure . He knew that his young master’s cultivation always appeared weird . But he never thought that his young master could cut off an arm of the man in the tuxedo .
The aura exuded by the man in the tuxedo before him was even stronger than his . It turned out that the man was actually a great master in the Sky Martial Arts Realm’s middle stage . One should know that when a person reached the middle stage of the Sky Martial Arts Realm, half of his True Qi had turned into the Spiritual Energy . The energy could then become a thin layer of Spiritual Energy cover, which was good at defending .
Under this circumstance, his young master was still able to cut his shield open and cut one of the man’s arms off . It proved that his fighting capacity was appalling . After the initial shock, Xiahou felt relieved .
“You are not allowed to kill me . I’m Chao Xiong, a disciple of the Holy Medical Family . If you kill me, the Holy Medical Family will never forgive you . ”
The man in the tuxedo said, trembling all over . Facing the threat of death, he finally thought of his prestige family, which cheered him up instantly . Having his family to back him up, the man had nothing to fear .
“I don’t care whether you are from the Holy Medical Family or any f*cking Medical Family . Anyone who dare rob my alchemy furnace must die,” Ding Ning said .
With a merciless face, he did not hesitate to cut .
“Young master, don’t…”

Xiahou exclaimed without thinking, his face changed drastically . But unfortunately, it was too late . Ding Ning lifted his saber in his hand and cut Chao Xiong’s head off fast .
Chao Xiong’s head rolled on the ground and stopped . His pale face faced the sky, and his eyes were full of disbelief . It seemed he didn’t believe that Ding Ning would kill him even after he told him that he was from the Holy Medical Family .
“Young master… Alas, we are in big trouble now . ” Xiahou sighed .
Thumping his chest and stamping his feet in deep regret, Xiahou looked extremely solemn .
“Why? Is this Holy Medical Family very awesome?”
Ding Ning asked, feeling a little curious . But the iron-willed Ding Ning didn’t regret to kill this man at all .
“Awesome is not enough to describe the family . It is exceedingly awesome! Since ancient times, a knight-errant’s taboo has been his martial arts . The Shenzhou Government can live harmoniously in peace with the ancient martial world for so many years . Do you know why?” Xiahou asked .
His face looked ugly to the extreme .
“Isn’t it because the government has signed the “Peace Agreement” with the ancient martial world?”
With a puzzled expression, Ding Ning asked . Then thinking of something, he asked . “Don’t tell me that the government truly signed the Peace Agreement with the Holy Medical Family!” The expression on Ding Ning’s face changed .
“The government didn’t sign the agreement exclusively with the Holy Medical Family, but the Holy Medical Family was one of the organizations that had signed the agreement,” explained Xiahou .
With a bitter expression, Xiahou continued, “When Shenzhou Country was just founded, the founder of the country went to the ancient martial world in person . After surmounting numerous difficulties, he finally managed to sign the Peace Agreement with the Four Holy Gates . And the Holy Medical Family was one of them, which had a supreme status in the ancient martial world . ”
“How does the Holy Medical Family compared with the Long family and the Feng Family of the ancient martial world?” Ding Ning asked .
His heart sank, and Ding Ning had realized that he seemed to have made a huge mistake .

Shaking his head, Xiahou smiled bitterly . With slight disdain, the sides of his mouth dropped, and he answered, “The Long family and the Feng Family are the ancient martial families that have just risen recently . There is simply no comparison between them and the Four Holy Gates, which have prospered for thousands of years . As it were, ancestors from either the Long family or the Feng Family have to take any disciples from the Four Holy Gates as their distinguished guests and greet them with great courtesy . ”
Bursting with curiosity, Ding Ning looked narrowly at Chao Xiong’s headless corpse and grinned . “I didn’t expect that I would kill a guy with an influential background . ”
“Young master, aren’t you worried about it at all? The Holy Medical Family is one of the Four Holy Gates,” Xiahou asked .
Xiahou looked at the carefree Ding Ning, did not know whether to cry or to laugh . On his mind, this kill weighed heavily .
“Is it useful to worry? No big deal . According to the actual situation, we can adopt appropriate measures anytime . Besides, no one knows who killed this guy except you and me . ” Ding Ning comforted him .
Eyes enlightened with excitement, Ding Ning squatted on Chao Xiong’s corpse, groping . He looked just like a greedy moneygrubber . After a while, he frowned with doubt . Then he fixed his eyes on an antique ring on Chao Xiong’s finger . With a cheer, Ding Ning slipped the ring from his finger and murmured, “I didn’t expect you to carry treasures . What a great windfall bonus for me!”
Xiahou scratched his head and said anxiously, “Ancient sects like the Four Holy Gates are extraordinarily wicked . Who knows if there is any way for them to find the killer . ”
“If they know how to find me, I can only admit my fate . Anyway, I have no choice but to kill Chao Xiong . Do you think he will not take revenge on us if we let him go? We will bring ruin upon ourselves . ”
Ding Ning’s careless answer got to the point directly . Xiahou was suddenly enlightened . From the moment that Chao Xiong made up his mind to kill and rob, a life-or-death struggle between them began . To all of them, there was no way back . Thus, Xiahou immediately said shamefully, “You knew much better, young master . ”
“It’s very simple . You must have been misled by the Four Holy Gates’s awe-inspiring reputation, so you didn’t see through this matter at that time,” Ding Ning said .
He sprayed some Corpse-decomposing Water on Chao Xiong’s corpse while thinking . “It is indeed a must for people to destroy the evidence after murders on any occasion . It seems that I should find some time to make more . ”
Thinking of something, Ding Ning said, “By the way, Brother Xiahou, tell me about the Four Holy Gates . As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will never lose a battle . Since I am bound to be the enemy of the Holy Medical Family, it will always be good for me to know more about the family . ”
Ding Ning looked relaxed, but he bore a lot of pressure in his heart . When he was all alone, he certainly could be fearless . If the worst came to the worst, he could run away .
No matter how extraordinary powerful the Holy Medical Family was, Ding Ning didn’t believe that they could still hunt him down with his biological simulation skin .
But now, Ding Ning had to take the safety of his sister, lover, and friends into consideration . He was no longer alone . Therefore, he had to plan for the future .
“I don’t know much about the Four Holy Gates . Much of what I know was hearsay . In their names, no ordinary sect or family is allowed to use “holy,” a word of special meaning . It is said that only with elders who have surpassed the God of Martial Arts in place can these sects or families add “holy” in their names . ”
Xiahou did his very best to explain . “The Four Holy Gates are the Holy Medical Family, the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe, the Holy-goddess Tribe, and the Holy-sword Villa . As the name suggests, the Holy Medical Family is famous for its extraordinary medical skills that can even make the dead come back to life . It is said all its disciples are all pills-making alchemists with extremely powerful combat effectiveness who are also proficient in controlling fire . The Holy-saber Ancient Tribe is the most mysterious one . Usually, there are few disciples of this family coming into the world . But any of their disciples who come into this world are definitely distinguished talents . They say that the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe can never get along with the Holy Medical Family . The Holy-sword Villa is an ancient sword sect that accords with Taoism by swords, which can be said to have reached the highest level of sword arts . A century ago, Miyamoto Musasi, the chief disciple of Sword God Yagyuu who is Fuso’s sword saint, crossed the sea with his sword and came here alone to challenge Shenzhou’s masters . He defeated 17 Shenzhou Sword Masters in succession, exclaiming wildly that he was invincible in Shenzhou . Miyamoto Musasi disgraced the martial arts world of Shenzhou . Then a 20-year-old man from the Holy-sword Villa invited Miyamoto Musasi to fight with him by the seaside of Shenzhou’s East Sea . By merely one sword strike, this young man cut Miyamoto Musasi’s head off, which shocked the entire world . As for the Holy-goddess Tribe, it has a great many spiritual masters . Among each generation of this tribe, there will always be one disciple coming into this world to experience . The disciple of this generation was named Night Lone Ranger . I heard that she, who was called the greatest genius of the ancient martial world, had broken through to the level of the celestial spiritual master at the age of 25 . Though the Long family’s Long Xiaotian was also known as the greatest genius of the ancient martial world, he was overshadowed by Night Lone Ranger . ”
Ding Ning listened with great interest . Seeing that Xiahou stopped with a weird face, he hurriedly questioned, “Anything else?”
“Young master, I was thinking that you defeated Long Xiaotian, who is called the top genius in the ancient martial world within two moves . It means that you are not even inferior to Night Lone Ranger, who is three years older than you after all . If you can break through to the Sky Martial Arts Realm, you will be the greatest genius in name and in fact . ”
Xiahou gasped in admiration as he suddenly remembered the marvels of Ding Ning .
At this moment, his praise satisfied Ding Ning’s little vanity . However, standing with his hands clasped behind his back, Ding Ning said proudly, “A bubble reputation is not worth mentioning at all . I must always keep a low profile . ”
His response amused Xiahou who burst into hearty laughter . Then he teased, “A low profile of yours indeed . You even killed the Holy Medical Family’s disciple . ”
“Hehe, I will not attack unless I am attacked; if I am attacked, I will exterminate my enemies’ entire family or sect . ”
Ding Ning gave an overbearing reply . But together with his wicked smile, he didn’t look domineering at all .
Xiahou seemed to be relieved for he did not think that Ding Ning was bragging .
He knew that his young master looked harmless . Always, he behaved like an easy-going person who could get well along with anyone . But once he came across anyone who could threaten him, his families or friends, he would definitely show his extremely aggressive and bold side .
His young master could make prompt decisions at the right moment decisively . Never would he hesitate to act because of any fearful or tender feelings that would leave him endless future trouble . He was no less ruthless and decisive even compared to those formidable persons who had gone through numerous hardships of the world for decades . Xiahou firmly believed that his young master was sure to achieve great things in the future .
