First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!
Chapter 193: Demonic Cultivator—Truly Terrifying

......

That black smoke, that spiritual energy, that vicious face!!!

Nope!!

Gotta block!!

Must block this!!

If that punch landed solid—it would kill him!!!

Fueled by pure survival instinct, Bai Baoce activated his spiritual energy, pulling out a full 120% of his strength.

Before, he could only control thirteen Jinghong flying knives by will.

But right now, facing death, he broke through on the spot—commanding a fourteenth Jinghong flying knife.

At his age, at his realm, among the younger generation across the northwest—

Bai Baoce had just taken a leap to the top.

From second tier, straight into the first.

Fourteen Jinghong flying knives spun and slashed,

Completely shredded the massive tree Lu Ding had thrown.

Bai Baoce felt a surge of pride.

After today, news of his breakthrough in battle would surely spread across the northwest!

Fourteen Jinghong knives—who could stop him!? Who dared to!?

Just a demonic cultivator—nothing to be afraid of.

“Bring it on!”

He even dared to shout, turning defense into offense. Fourteen blades circled him with fierce momentum.

Bai Baoce leapt forward, charging at Lu Ding, aiming to shred the enemy with his blades.

Seeing this, the halo behind Lu Ding flared to life. Flesh fiend aura burst forth, black smoke rising like a geyser.

Muscles drove the movement, spiritual energy wrapped around him, strength compressed within—he unleashed a terrifying punch.

In the blink of an eye, heaven and earth turned to one hue. For a moment, a giant human face flickered into view, smiling in eerie delight.

Killing intent exploded with zero restraint.

BOOM!!!!

Bai Baoce’s flying knives clashed with Lu Ding’s fist—

They didn’t even make a metallic clang before being pulverized into dust.

The pride in Bai Baoce’s eyes instantly vanished.

At that moment, all that remained in his gaze was a desperate will to live—and pure fear of the man throwing that punch.

The blow struck dead center in his chest. Qi and strength poured in, tearing apart his life force.

That impact—

It felt like getting hit full-speed by a freight train.

But Lu Ding’s fist wasn’t nearly as big as a train’s.

Everyone knows: the smaller the surface area, the higher the pressure.

So this punch—

Punched straight through Bai Baoce’s chest. The power and Qi exploded outward, blasting him into flying chunks.

The terrifying force didn’t stop there.

Wind howled down the slope, splitting the entire forest in half.

In his final moment, a realization came over Bai Baoce.

“Demonic cultivators... really are terrifying. No wonder 749 wants to crack down on them......”

The scene left everyone in stunned silence.

Bai Baoce was... was blown up!!!

That demonic cultivator... actually killed Bai Baoce!!?

Suddenly, someone’s gaze drifted and caught sight of the 749 shoulder patch on Lu Ding.

Their heart froze in utter terror!

Since when did 749 start recruiting monsters like this!?

Lu Ding’s eyes turned cold and disdainful.

He’d thought Bai Baoce was something serious, the way he charged in so confidently.

Had him using half his full power to throw that punch.

Originally, Lu Ding had been chilling, drinking tea.

Then Yu Qingli came running back to say: the Bai Family’s people were attacking.

Wu Yishuang was in the middle of a heated fight with them.

As soon as he heard that, Lu Ding rushed to help.

From a distance, he already had 30% of his power ready to go the moment he saw Wu Yishuang sitting on the ground against a tree.

Attacking a 749 investigator, causing injury—

That met the conditions. Even if the Jade Emperor himself came down today, Bai Baoce wouldn’t live.

But who would’ve thought—this guy didn’t retreat. He even dared to charge him, made Lu Ding think he had some kind of secret weapon.

And it turned out to be... this?

Lu Ding gently landed.

Wu Yishuang looked up at him, her mouth slightly open, eyes full of shock.

She knew Lu Ding was strong—ridiculously strong.

But she didn’t expect him to be this strong.

One punch and Bai Baoce was gone.

The Bureau’s intel... seemed... a little outdated.

“How are you?”

Lu Ding asked.

Wu Yishuang was about to say she was fine—but then she noticed several Bai Family members still staring her way.

So she weakly said, coughing, “Cough cough... I’m okay, Lord Lu Taishui... not dead yet.”

That line was chef’s kiss—fully captured the fearless image of a 749 investigator.

Bai Hemen tossed over a medicine bottle.

“Give her one pill. Heals wounds. Works fast.”

After saying that, Bai Hemen turned to the remaining Bai Family members.

“Now—everyone squat where you are. Keep your hands where I can see them. I need to make sure none of you are a threat.”

Not everyone understands basic orders.

Most people will go with the flow.

But some always think they’re the exception, secretly scheming.

Like now—someone tried to slip away.

The moment they moved—

Bai Hemen charged. Qi wrapped his hands. One stab, one rip—clean split in half.

“Noncompliance means death!”

After that, no one dared to have second thoughts.

Lu Ding opened the bottle and poured a pill into Wu Yishuang’s hand.

She swallowed it, and her face instantly regained color.

She who’d just been barely able to sit up—suddenly flipped up like a spring.

Standing tall, she gave Bai Hemen a thumbs up.

“Healed instantly!”

Lu Ding: ........

The others: ........

Only Bai Hemen looked thoughtful.

‘Is this stuff really that effective?’

He honestly didn’t know—he’d been in confinement for a while. Elder Deng had said the medicine was cheap and effective, good for minor injuries.

So Bai Hemen had stocked some.

He’d never used it himself.

He’d been out on missions with Lu Ding all this time—hadn’t been hurt in a while.

Plus, just now Wu Yishuang looked really about to die.

Bai Hemen figured—

There’s no way she was faking it!

He’d never seen acting that real!

So this must be genuine feedback!

He made a mental note: gotta stock up.

It’s cheap, but it works.

Even Lan Mingli, who had fainted last time, woke up after taking it!

Now that Wu Yishuang was saved, Lu Ding called out, “Take the others back.”

He still needed them.

Bai Hemen was single-minded, but Lu Ding couldn’t afford to be.

Keeping these people was the perfect way to test the Bai Family’s strength.

Lu Ding would take them to the Bai Family in the name of justice and accountability.

And at that point... they’d see just how deep the Bai Family’s waters really ran.

Bai Hemen wanted to work hard—but he needed a clear target.

And since he wasn’t sure, Lu Ding would find out for him.

If the Bai Family wasn’t much—

Then settle it now.

If they turned out to be scary strong—

Then this would just be the cause, and the consequences could wait.

When the time came, smile and say: “We’ve long admired the Bai Patriarch’s name. Now that we’ve met, it’s truly well-deserved. We’ll return to the training base and report our task results.”

“Won’t bother you any further this time.”

The goal?

Attack when ready, retreat when needed.
