Chapter 744
With a few whooshing sounds, a few figures quickly appeared and surrounded Gu Ding and Becca.
Gu Ding took a closer look and saw that several of them were familiar faces. He had seen them in Neptune's projection before, and they were all members of the Days family's elder group. Even the previously terrifying fourth elder, Ducao, was there. However, Ducao's aura was obviously much weaker than it was in the real world. He only had the strength of a second-rank Heavenly God.
"These guys are obstacles created by the Lord's will projection in the dream. Their strongest combat effectiveness won't exceed the strength of the will projection itself," Becca explained as he retreated behind Gu Ding.
"No wonder there's a guy who has combat effectiveness close to that of a Lord in the real world, but he's many times weaker here." Gu Ding was a little worried when he first saw Ducao, but he soon realized that Ducao's combat effectiveness in the dream world was on a completely different level from the one in the real world. After listening to Becca's explanation, he understood the reason.
"Outsider, don't put up a futile resistance. Surrender and you'll be spared physical pain," the person who spoke was the strongest among them, the fourth elder, Ducao.
"Futile resistance? Come and try me, and you'll know if my resistance is futile. " Gu Ding took a step forward in the void, and a powerful aura surged out, instantly dispelling the pressure from the elders. The pressure that had been exerting on Becka's body instantly disappeared without a trace.
Feeling Gu Ding's strength, Ducao and the others' expressions changed slightly.
"Tell me where Huck is, and I'll spare you all physical pain." Gu Ding grinned. His words were obviously meant to tease Ducao who had said the same thing before.
"You have a death wish!" Ducao obviously heard the ridicule in Gu Ding's words, and he immediately became a little angry.
"You're not going to tell me, are you?" Gu Ding took a step forward and was already in front of Ducao. His five fingers spread out, and with the force of wind and thunder, he grabbed Ducao's throat.
Ducao's expression changed dramatically. He knew that if Gu Ding's claw landed on him, he would no longer have the strength to fight. Moreover, in a head-on fight, the difference in combat effectiveness between the two was huge, and he would not be able to block it. He quickly retreated and even used the body movement technique from his inherited memory.
His figure turned into several black shadows and fled in all directions.
There was a ripping sound. Although Gu Ding's claw did not catch Ducao, it did not miss either. He tore off one of Ducao's arms.
Ducao covered his bleeding arm and looked at Gu Ding with some apprehension. His wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Unlike energy cultivators, who could regrow limbs at any time, physical cultivators like him had a large amount of blood energy in their bodies. Even though he could recover quickly, he needed enough blood energy to regrow his limbs, or he needed time to slowly recover.
In a battle between powerhouses, the difference of a single move could result in a completely different outcome, not to mention losing an arm. This would cause Ducao's combat strength to drop by a lot.
Ducao, who was the strongest among them, was injured in one blow. This made the others reevaluate Gu Ding's combat effectiveness.
Gu Ding also figured out his opponent's strength and immediately felt more confident. He did not attack the others but said calmly, "You're no match for me. Don't ask for trouble. Tell me where Huck is."
"Huck is a felon of our family. We can't hand him over to outsiders." The one who spoke was still Ducao, who had suffered a loss earlier.
"If that's the case, I'll have to use some special methods."
As soon as Gu Ding's voice fell, his combat effectiveness exploded. Like a wolf in a flock of sheep, he charged toward the elders.
His fists were like heavy hammers, carrying the momentum of shattering the void. In the blink of an eye, the chests of all the elders were shattered. They spat out blood and retreated. Their combat effectiveness was reduced by almost eighty percent.
Everyone looked at Gu Ding with fear in their eyes. The combat effectiveness that Gu Ding displayed was more than what he had shown when he injured Ducao.
"Tell me, where are you keeping Huck?!"
Gu Ding was unforgiving. In a flash, he closed in on Eleventh Elder Odoki. Before Odoki could react, Gu Ding's slender fingers were already wrapped around Odoki's throat.
The huge force from Gu Ding's palm made Odoki feel a strong sense of suffocation. The suffocation was not caused by being unable to breathe. As a Heavenly God-Level powerhouse, he did not need to breathe at all. The suffocating feeling came from death. He knew very well that the moment Gu Ding grabbed his throat, his life was in Gu Ding's hands.
Odoki looked at Gu Ding in horror. He was a little hesitant to say anything because he was not sure if Gu Ding would kill him if he did.
"Eleventh Elder, the Elder Ancestor once said that secrets related to the direct bloodline of the family should never be revealed to outsiders!" The one who said this was another skinny elder. He was weaker and spat out blood from Gu Ding's punch. However, he did not forget to shout at Odoki.
"Damn it, are you trying to kill me?! You've even used the Elder Ancestor's words. If I say anything, I'll become a coward. However, if I don't say anything, there's a high chance that I'll be crushed to death by this kid … "Odoki's face was bitter. If the old man had not said what he wanted to say, he would have wanted to say it. However, the old man's words had sealed off his escape route. If he told the truth and survived, he would be mocked and rolled his eyes at by the rest of the family in the future.
"I won't say anything. Huck's location is a major secret related to the direct bloodline of the Dace family. Even if you threaten them with their lives after you kill me, they won't say anything, let alone me. That's because whoever says anything is the biggest traitor to the family. " Everyone's faces turned ugly when they heard Odoki's words. It was obvious that he was dragging everyone down with him. If he was going to die, they would all die together.
Just then, Gu Ding heard Becca's voice transmission in his ear.
After listening to Becca's voice transmission, Gu Ding grinned. He turned his head to look at Ducao. "You're the leader of this group, aren't you? Tell me where Huck is locked up, or I'll kill one of your companions every ten seconds. "
"The countdown begins now. Ten, nine, eight …"
"Do you think this kind of threat will work on me?" Ducao frowned slightly. He stole a glance at the fifth elder, Kolov, who was the closest to him.
Such a small movement was still caught by Becca. He quickly sent a voice transmission to Gu Ding. "Catch the guy with the two short swords in his hands!"
Although Gu Ding did not know why Becca said that, he suddenly changed his target. He let go of Odoki's throat and appeared in front of Kolov in an instant. Once again, Gu Ding's palm clamped down on Kolov's throat without any resistance.
Kolov did not have time to react. He did not understand why Gu Ding would suddenly change his target and attack him.
However, when Ducao saw Kolov being captured, his expression changed drastically.
"The others might not be important to you, but this person seems to be different. Tell me where Huck is or I'll kill him. "Gu Ding noticed the change in Ducao's expression. He grinned and looked at Ducao.
