Global Game: My Divine Skills Reach Full Level Automatically

Swoosh swoosh!

The shattered spearhead fragmented into dozens of ’flying shards’, shooting towards the light cavalry unit like flying knives, accompanied by a series of piercing sounds and over a dozen screams.

Plop!

Plop!

Over a dozen cavalrymen fell to the ground.

The leader was even struck so hard that he spat blood and was flung back several dozen yards off his horse, crashing heavily onto the ground, rolling over a dozen times before he barely managed to stop his momentum.

Staggering to get up, he found it difficult to muster strength in his limbs, and involuntarily looked at Ding Ling’s direction, both shocked and terrified:

”You, you, who exactly are you?!”

He was so frightened, with his heart in trepidation, that he stammered and couldn’t utter a complete sentence.

Ding Ling did not reply, merely glanced at the Cavalry General and said calmly:

”Who are you, then, to attack me without reason?”

”I, I am Changg Xi. I’m, I’m the Defense Officer of Hu County. There’s a curfew tonight. I’m responsible for patrolling the area, and if I find anyone suspicious, I can arrest them on the spot. Your presence in the city seemed suspicious, so I, I...”

The more he talked, the more fluently he spoke, but towards the end, he began to stammer once more.

”Changg Xi, is it?”

Ding Ling recalled the name:

”Mount Tai Bandit?”

”I have been a court official for years now.”

Changg Xi’s expression changed slightly, seemingly ashamed of his past as a bandit, and he spoke again fluently:

”Including my brother and over a dozen others, we are now all local Defender Generals! And there are quite a few influential people supporting and winning us over in the court! I, Changg Xi, am not an unknown nobody, nor am I a Mount Tai Bandit. Please do not insult me.”

These words were both boastful and threatening.

He was subtly implying to Ding Ling that he too had backing and shouldn’t be easily trifled with, or it would be very troublesome.

But Ding Ling remained unmoved, looking at Changg Xi with a calm expression:

”Just because you have some power, does it allow you to oppress the good and honest citizens in the city? If I hadn’t had some martial power earlier, would you not have already severely injured me? How many common folks could withstand your attack?”

Changg Xi’s face turned unsightly:

”You are highly skilled in martial arts, I admit defeat. Can we let this matter drop today?”

”As a court official, you act without distinguishing right from wrong, resorting to severely injuring others at the drop of a hat. Considering you didn’t outright try to take someone’s life just now, I’ll break one of your legs today.”

Ding Ling picked up a spear from the ground and threw it towards Changg Xi. Swoosh! The spear shot through the air like a meteor, in the next instant!

Thud!

The spear pierced through Changg Xi’s kneecap, breaking his leg in an instant.

”Ah!”

Changg Xi screamed, clutching his leg, his face twisted in agony, glaring angrily at Ding Ling:

”You, you’ve gone too far!”

”I never disturb others if they don’t disturb me. General Changg wanted to severely injure my arm, so I severely injure your leg in return. An eye for an eye. It’s only fair.”

Ding Ling didn’t wish to waste any more words with Changg Xi, he raised his leg to leave.

He would spare Changg Xi.

Only because Changg Xi was a General of the Great Wei Kingdom, enforcing the law, and he didn’t strike Ding Ling’s vital points earlier. Otherwise, breaking a leg would be the least of Changg Xi’s worries.

Even during a curfew, there must be a limit.

And not wield power recklessly!

The Great Wei Kingdom is currently in a peaceful era, yet Changg Xi still acts so recklessly, disregarding people’s lives, and severely injuring others at will. If a commoner was severely injured, could they even be saved?

Nine times out of ten, it would still end in death.

Precisely because of this, Ding Ling thought to cripple Changg Xi. Such bandits, even if made generals, seem incapable of discarding their bandit nature!

Clip-clop!

Unexpectedly, just as Ding Ling raised his leg, another cavalry squad suddenly charged out from the right path.

This time, the squad had more than fifty people.

Leading them was a more robust and tall middle-aged General. Seeing Changg Xi’s miserable state and Ding Ling standing unscathed as if about to leave, he couldn’t help but shout loudly, thrusting a spear like a dragon towards Ding Ling without further ado:

”Damned scoundrel! How dare you cripple my Great Wei Kingdom’s General! I’ll see you pay with your life, stay here!”

”Hmm?”

Ding Ling raised his eyebrows, neither dodging nor avoiding, allowing the middle-aged General’s spear to land at his chest, the next instant, boom!

The Thunderfire Power automatically activated and rebounded, shattering the opponent’s spearhead in an instant!

The spearhead shattered into more than a dozen pieces, each one like a flying knife, shooting back towards the middle-aged General and his men with a swoosh, and in the next moment, amidst the clanging and piercing sounds that cut through the night sky!

Dozens of soldiers fell from their horses simultaneously.

The leading General died, while the rest of the soldiers were all severely injured, unable to move.

”Sunx Kang!”

Changg Xi screamed, looking at Ding Ling in disbelief:

”You, you, you killed Governor Sunx! You, you, you are finished, neither heaven nor earth, nor even Immortals can save you now!”

”Governor Sunx, Sunx Kang?”

Ding Ling vaguely remembered him.

It seems he and Zang Ba, Changg Xi, Sunx Guan, and others were initially Mount Tai Bandits. Now it seems they have all pledged allegiance to the Great Wei Kingdom, and Sunx Kang seemingly became the Governor of this place.

This feat is quite remarkable.

Now having killed a Governor.

Ding Ling couldn’t help but frown slightly, had Sunx Kang not aimed for his heart, he wouldn’t have died.

After all, Ding Ling’s Martial Dao True Understanding Protective Gang Qi Shield naturally rebounds, if someone strikes him somewhere, it will rebound with the same force back to them.

Sunx Kang targeted his heart, and the force rebounded back, striking Sunx Kang right in the heart.

His death was entirely expected.

Who in this world could withstand the rebound attack of Ding Ling’s protective shield?

This was with his Martial Arts True Qi restrained, leaving only a wisp of Protective Gang Qi for personal defense! Otherwise, the rebound attack from Martial Dao True Understanding would easily crush a mountain! A giant city!

”I didn’t expect to be away for only about five years, and it seems the world has forgotten me.”

Ding Ling shook his head, filled with emotion.

He didn’t know Changg Xi or Sunx Kang.

At that time, he was high and mighty, the First-Rank Prince, the Guardian God, Sword God, National Preceptor, Grand General, and Prince of the Great Wei Kingdom! How could he meet and talk with every General?

Someone like Changg Xi, a mere officer, was not even qualified to see Ding Ling!

Now perhaps they were.

A few years ago, Changg Xi and his ilk were absolutely unqualified.

But now that Changg Xi had risen to the position of General, apart from his abilities being decent, it probably was also related to many renowned Generals of the Great Wei Kingdom having ascended!

Cao Mengde, known for employing talent regardless of their origin, would understandably promote someone like Changg Xi during a period of talent shortage.

Clip-clop!

More and more hoofbeats arose.

Someone had secretly sent a signal, causing the entire city’s forces to converge here.

Soon after.

Ding Ling was surrounded by thousands of soldiers and horses.

The leading General was extremely robust and tall, with a resolute appearance. He studied Ding Ling for a moment, and suddenly his expression changed.
