First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!
Chapter 205: Assaulting a 749 Investigator? You Dare Block Me? Come on, Block Again

......

By that time, it would probably play out in the classic way:

‘The guy who killed my brother is right there! Hand him over! Still being stubborn? You won’t cry till you see the coffin...’

And then, taking out all their grief and rage on Wu Yishuang and the others here.

At that moment, should Lu Ding continue hiding or step forward?

If he kept hiding, he’d be a coward, a spineless wimp, a worthless loser.

Sorry, but Lu Ding wasn’t that kind of person.

If he stepped out,

Then what was the point of hiding in the first place?

What kind of lunatic logic is that?

Besides, Fifth Layer of Si Ming Realm—so what?

Lu Ding could knock him flat without even powering up.

So hiding or not hiding made no difference.

If they dared to come, he’d hit back.

Fists were meant to be used, not just shown off.

Strike once hard enough, so you don’t have to take a hundred hits later!

Lu Ding still had a lot to accomplish here in the northwest.

If he got scared by just one Si Ming Realm cultivator,

How would he ever help Bai Hemen hold the line against the Bai Family later on?

Hearing Lu Ding’s words, Wu Yishuang couldn’t say anything more.

She could only mutter, “Sigh... Investigator Lu, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have back then...”

“Here, eat some watermelon.”

Before she could finish, Lu Ding stuffed a piece of watermelon into her mouth, cutting off her apology.

When she looked up in confusion, all she saw was Lu Ding’s half-smiling face.

Some things, once done, didn’t need to be talked about.

Even if the odds were low, they needed to leave no loose ends,

Not giving anyone any chance to find fault.

Even without Wu Yishuang,

Lu Ding would’ve clashed with the Bai Family anyway.

The result wouldn’t have changed.

Whether he was wearing a 749 uniform or not,

The outcome would be the same.

Wu Yishuang understood now.

She munched on her watermelon, not saying another word.

Her gaze kept drifting toward Lu Ding.

At this moment, she truly realized what it meant for someone’s mere presence to bring indescribable security.

Lu Ding was that kind of person.

As long as you fought alongside him,

His very name meant safety.

She felt a little moved.

A Si Ming Realm cultivator was coming, and yet he said:

“If I hide, what about you?”

Who could understand how brightly Lu Ding was shining in Wu Yishuang’s eyes right now?

Seeing she had no more reckless thoughts,

Lu Ding finally asked again,

“Where’s Cao Ying?”

“He said he’s feeling a little weak, needed to lie down some more.”

Bai Hemen stood up while speaking.

Lu Ding asked casually,

“Where are you going in this heat?”

“Just killing time.

I’m going to check if anyone’s slacking off.”

As he spoke, a whip of Spiritual Qi formed in Bai Hemen’s hand.

Lu Ding said,

“I’m coming too.”

He’d never seen Bai Hemen whip someone before—wanted to go watch for fun.

The group set off together.

Time slipped by into the afternoon.

At the national highway below Ba'er Mountain,

Several off-road vehicles pulled up and stopped.

Cha Yuanzheng got out, checked his phone for directions, then pointed toward the mountain ahead:

“Up there.”

“Let’s go.

Let’s see what’s going on.”

Bai Baolian spoke calmly, but her bad feeling had already reached its peak.

All she wanted now was to quickly see her brother safe and sound.

A group of cultivators rushed into the woods at lightning speed.

In about ten minutes,

Bai Baolian climbed to the mountaintop,

And fury instantly surged into her chest.

She looked out—

Atop the flattened summit,

Those familiar faces were digging and hauling dirt,

Covered in dust and grime.

Bai Hemen snapped his whip.

Pa!!!

“Hurry it up!!”

Lu Ding sat on a small folding stool, enjoying the mountain breeze,

Commenting lazily on their progress:

“Cultivators sure work fast.

They’re better than machines, and way quicker too.”

Just then,

A sharp voice shouted:

“Stop!!!!”

Everyone turned toward the sound.

When they saw who it was,

All their pent-up grievances instantly flooded out.

“Sister Baolian...”

The first to call out got whipped right across the mouth by Bai Hemen.

“Did I say you could speak?”

“I said STOP!!”

Bai Baolian leapt forward,

The ground under her feet instantly shattering.

Her delicate appearance turned fierce and violent.

As she raised her hand,

Spiritual Qi surged violently, condensing into a drill-shaped force spinning madly,

Shooting straight toward Bai Hemen.

Lu Ding sat still, unbothered.

An amateur watches the commotion, a professional sees the real moves.

The moment she made a move, Lu Ding could tell:

She wasn’t even close to being Bai Hemen’s match.

So he didn’t move.

He only kept his eye on the real threat among the newcomers—the Si Ming Realm cultivator.

His gaze swept over the others,

Finally settling on Cha Yuanzheng,

Who was the calmest of them all.

Feeling the fluctuating Spiritual Qi,

Lu Ding’s lips curled into a smile.

Bai Hemen was about to unleash a big move.

He looked again at Cha Yuanzheng.

You better stay calm, buddy.

If you make a move, I’ll kill you.

Then he heard it:

“Yin Domain Overlap, Corpse Ridge Mountain!!!”

Spiritual Qi surged wildly—

A mountain of corpses materialized.

In a blink, Bai Hemen formed a spell gesture,

Hoisting the corpse mountain in both hands,

And smashed it down toward Bai Baolian with full force.

The terrifying power of the move made everyone’s faces change.

Bai Baolian’s eyes flashed with shock.

She had only meant to stop Bai Hemen from whipping her family members—

But he countered by slamming a whole Yin Domain on her head!

Was he made of explosives or what? One spark and boom.

Bai Baolian changed her hand seal,

Forming a protective golden light above her forehead.

A golden bell flew out, grew larger against the wind,

And shielded her from Bai Hemen’s attack!

BOOM!!!!

Though she blocked it,

The impact still left Bai Baolian injured.

It was then—

“Arrogant!!”

Cha Yuanzheng flew forward,

Spiritual Qi surging around him,

Revealing his full Si Ming Realm cultivation,

Charging straight at Bai Hemen.

But before he could even reach—

The sky darkened, dyed in a shade of dark red.

Cha Yuanzheng instantly sensed mortal danger.

He quickly pressed his thumb against his middle and ring fingers,

Summoning a protective spell plate and shifting it to his left side for defense.

BOOM!!!!

An explosion shook all of Ba'er Mountain.

The dark red blast shattered Cha Yuanzheng’s defensive spell,

Blasting him completely out of the air.

Lu Ding lounged on a deck chair,

Elbow resting casually on the armrest,

One long, slender finger pointing lazily at the spot where Cha Yuanzheng got blown away.

A faint wisp of blue smoke curled from his fingertip.

Lu Ding straightened up,

And with a calm but crushingly powerful tone said:

“Presumptuous.”

He stood.

Black mist surged out as a light breeze stirred.

Lu Ding stepped into the air,

His black short-sleeve shirt outlining a perfect figure in fleeting glimpses.

Looking down at Bai Baolian,

Still bracing herself behind her golden bell,

He said coldly:

“Assaulting a 749 Investigator?

You dare block me?

Come on, block again.”
