Chapter 88 - 86: Decisively Kill (Extra update for Alliance Hierarch Yingyuan Di)

"The first question, how much of the contents from that previous alien spaceship does the Genetic Alliance have?" Ding Huan didn't continue to move against Xiao Qiang but asked instead. Xiao Qiang remained silent and didn't answer, and Antonio, wary of Ding Huan in his heart, was even less willing to stick his neck out. But that woman shouted harshly, "Ding Huan, even if you have some ability, you can't take action within the Genetic Alliance. The Genetic Alliance has made a huge contribution to the Human Corridor Defensive Line, and Alliance Leader Shi even personally went to the front line." "Oh, if that's the case, why did the Human Corridor Defensive Line collapse before Alliance Leader Shi went there? And I see you few have pretty good strength; why didn't you go? How many powerhouses did the Genetic Alliance actually send?" Ding Huan laughed and said. Nian Jinqing, seeing Xiao Qiang easily crushed by Ding Huan, understood even more clearly that Ding Huan's strength was simply not something the Genetic Alliance could contend with, unless Alliance Leader Shi Changqian and his top expert, Leng Qi, returned. If he wanted to stay alive, he had to do more. Thinking this, Nian Jinqing sarcastically said: "The Genetic Alliance didn't send a damn person, only a few cultivators with trash cultivation went to make up the numbers. Not a single real powerhouse went. This time Shi Changyi went, it was also because, as the leader of the Genetic Alliance, he had no choice but to go. There's another reason I'm not very clear about, but I suspect it may be related to the spaceship. If Alliance Leader Shi could contribute to the defensive line like the first powerhouse, Zhong Chi, then perhaps the Human Corridor Defensive Line might not have fallen this time." "At least someone from the Genetic Alliance went. Ding Huan, your name is well known, why weren't you there?" the woman shouted sharply. Ding Huan chuckled to himself, more than Level 9 Genetic Monsters, this was clearly an indefensible situation; was he going to throw his life away? He himself didn't go, but he said the leader of the Genetic Alliance didn't go because the Genetic Alliance and he were different—the Genetic Alliance enjoyed various treatments and held a very high status. Why does everyone treat the Genetic Alliance so generously? Isn't it to deal with Fierce Beasts? The Genetic Alliance felt fully entitled to enjoy these treatments, yet their powerhouses were unwilling to guard the defensive line. This was what he disdained. If he had also enjoyed those treatments, he naturally would have gone. "Although Teacher Ding Huan didn't go, several of his disciples did. How many from the Genetic Alliance have obtained the Star Guardian Rank? Three of Teacher Ding's disciples have, why don't you mention that?" Nian Jinqing, obviously very well-informed, immediately retorted. "Wait... did you just say my disciples went to the Human Corridor Defensive Line?" Ding Huan was startled when he heard this. His disciples went to the Human Corridor Defensive Line? He wasn't aware of this. Nian Jinqing was stunned. Did Ding Huan really not know, or was he pretending not to know? However, he still respectfully said, "Yes, Qu Yi went and obtained a two-star level Star Guardian Rank, and Fang Chong and Ai Xi also obtained a one-star Star Guardian Rank." Ding Huan immediately frowned; this moment, he didn't even think about why Ai Xi was also his disciple. The main thing was, when did Qu Yi go to the Human Corridor Defensive Line? Qu Yi, no matter how talented, had only cultivated for a few months; was he going to the defensive line to die? Ding Huan had originally planned to go to the Kunlun Mountains, but now he changed his mind; he had to make a trip to the Human Corridor Defensive Line. The Human Corridor Defensive Line had collapsed, what exactly happened to Qu Yi? He also thought highly of Fang Chong and similarly didn't hope Fang Chong died at the mouth of a Fierce Beast. "Ding Huan, I suggest you better quit the Genetic Alliance now; anything else can wait until Alliance Leader Shi comes back," that woman said with her mouth, but she held contempt for Ding Huan in her heart. Not knowing his own disciples went to the Human Corridor Defensive Line? Pfft, what an act. "Qin Xiuxin, how Teacher Ding acts is not your place to instruct." Nian Jinqing said this but felt inside that perhaps Ding Huan really didn't know about his disciples going to the defensive line. If Ding Huan had gone to the defensive line, did that mean he didn't need to accompany Ding Huan to the Kunlun Mountain Range? If Ding Huan went to the Human Corridor Defensive Line, would he still kill him? "Qin Xiuxin? The Yanjing Qin Family?" Ding Huan looked at Qin Xiuxin, puzzled. This woman resembled Qin Yi somewhat; he wondered if they were related. "That's right, I come from the Yanjing Qin Family," Qin Xiuxin said coldly, the Qin Family's influence was no small thing. "My father went to your Qin Family and then disappeared, do you know anything about that?" Ding Huan stared at Qin Xiuxin. Qin Xiuxin was indifferent, "What does your father's disappearance have to do with my Qin Family? Don't ask me these things; I am a person of the Genetic Alliance. Now, the issue is, when are you leaving here." Qin Xiuxin naturally knew Ding Baishan had gone to the Qin Family; she told the Qin Family there was no need to give Ding Baishan any face. And she turned around and told the Genetic Alliance about Ding Baishan having the Seluke Genetic Potion. Ding Huan realized that this woman must have been spoiled by others, the kind that never suffered a harsh beating from society. She probably thought she was invincible after cultivating to a Level 4 gene cultivator. Ding Huan casually hurled a Wind Blade at her; he couldn't be bothered to waste words with this woman. "Pfft!" A burst of blood exploded. Qin Xiuxin couldn't believe to the death that Ding Huan actually killed her. "Teacher Ding, the two most important things in that spaceship, one is kept in the Federation International Museum, and the other is in the hands of Alliance Leader Qu Weimin..." Antonio, seeing Ding Huan effortlessly kill Qin Xiuxin, where could he dare to have any hope anymore? "Wrong, the items stored in the Federation International Museum have long been in Shi Changyi's hands," Nian Jinqing immediately retorted. "What is it?" Just as Ding Huan had asked this question, he felt an extreme sense of crisis approaching. Without even thinking, his body swiftly shifted sideways. Boom, boom, boom! Several strokes of blue lightning instantly pierced through the position where he had just been, carrying off a piece of his waist clothing. However, Nian Jinqing didn't possess Ding Huan's abilities and was struck by the lightning, violently coughing up blood, and, somewhat unwillingly, collapsed. The wooden box he was holding also scattered open, revealing the Starry Sky Blade that he was holding for Ding Huan. Thunder Magic? With a wave of his hand, the Starry Sky Blade that had fallen to the ground appeared in Ding Huan's hand. Ding Huan stared at Xiao Qiang, the one who had just made a move, seeming to want to ask questions, yet unable to let Xiao Qiang just stand there like this. He now understood what the blue lightning was all about. It wasn't some spell like his Wind Blade Skill, but rather a gene skill. Who knew whether this guy had merged with the electric eel's thunder gene or something else, but he wielded those few strokes of lightning so smoothly. If he hadn't felt something was off just a moment ago and dodged in time, he feared that he would have been seriously injured. Even with his healing abilities, it was uncertain whether he could escape from Xiao Qiang's hands with serious injuries. "Xiao Qiang? You..." Antonio, in a state of disbelief, stared at Xiao Qiang. Although Xiao Qiang's cultivation level was higher than his, his status was not as esteemed; after all, he was the dean of the Planet Academy, the second-ranked among the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges. Xiao Qiang coldly swept a glance at Antonio, "Do you think that if I didn't make a move, he wouldn't kill us after asking his questions? Join forces with me now, and we may not necessarily lose." Ding Huan touched the back of the blade; it was his first time wielding such a weapon. On the Changyi Continent, his weapon of choice wasn't a blade, but a long sword. After Xiao Qiang finished saying that, he raised his hand again and launched a dozen Blade Lights, but before he could release a Thunder Arc, he felt a bone-chilling murderous intent invading the back of his neck. Ding Huan? How did he instantly get to his side? Xiao Qiang, without time to determine Ding Huan's position, twisted his body to dodge. "Puh!" Blood spurted out; Xiao Qiang managed to evade a vital spot. Even so, half of Xiao Qiang's body was stained red with blood, one arm falling to the ground. Ding Huan's Wind Control Skill had taken effect, and under the coordination with his Divine Will, Ding Huan had almost instantly moved to Xiao Qiang's side before drawing his blade. If Xiao Qiang hadn't been injured before, he might have been able to dodge that slash. The previous injury slowed his perception and movement by one step, allowing Ding Huan to chop off one of his arms with a single blow. "Wait, I'm willing to tell you everything I know," Xiao Qiang said without hesitation, as he struggled to stop the bleeding from his arm. Having suffered such a severe injury, he was certain that he no longer had any right to negotiate with Ding Huan. "Good," Ding Huan uttered. Xiao Qiang sighed with relief, but before he could bandage his own wound, he saw another streak of white light slashing towards him. "You..." Xiao Qiang was driven to madness; hadn't they just agreed? Unfortunately, he had no ability to dodge Ding Huan's next slash, and another mist of blood exploded as Ding Huan's strike beheaded Xiao Qiang. Antonio's face turned a ghastly pale, terrifying to behold. Without waiting for Ding Huan to question him, he tried to steady his voice and said, "The thing left on Shi Changyi looks strange, somewhat like a fist, and appears to be some sort of material. But Shi Changyi, using confidentiality as an excuse, said he had placed the item in the Federation International Museum when, in reality, this thing should be on him. Another item is a cultivation technique, collected by the Martial Arts Alliance." "The second question, tell me about the Ancient Ruins of Kunlun," Ding Huan said as he picked up the box and put the long blade inside. It looked like he needed to forge a scabbard. "This, Nian Jinqing definitely knows more than us. He was the earliest to discover the Ancient Ruins of Kunlun," Antonio glanced at Nian Jinqing, who had been killed by Xiao Qiang. "Where are the Elemental Stones of the Genetic Alliance?" This question was of utmost interest to Ding Huan. "Mine are right here," Antonio quickly went aside, opened his bag, and took out seven Elemental Stones. "What about Xiao Qiang's and this woman's?" Ding Huan asked. "Xiao Qiang's office is right next to mine, and his Elemental Stones are definitely there; he wouldn't keep them at his residence. Elemental Stones are usually carried wherever he goes. I don't know about Qin Xiuxin's." Antonio was answering every question. Ding Huan's hand moved, and several Wind Blades flew out. A glimmer of despair flashed in Antonio's eyes, knowing Ding Huan wouldn't spare him, yet still harboring a sliver of hope. Indeed, he was killed. Ding Huan didn't go to Xiao Qiang's office but instead walked over to Xiao Qiang's body and tugged at a cloth chain around his waist. Because he had already swept his Divine Will through the neighboring office and found no Elemental Stones. It wasn't until his Divine Will landed on Xiao Qiang that he realized the fellow had all his Elemental Stones on him. Nearly twenty Elemental Stones fell to the ground; Ding Huan counted them, totaling nineteen. Ding Huan then found another four Elemental Stones on Qin Xiuxin's body. This made Ding Huan quite satisfied; he had collected thirty Elemental Stones on this trip, and with the stones on Nian Jinqing's body, there were over forty in total. It was a pity that Nian Jinqing was killed; he had substantial potential utility, and his death was regrettable. Regardless, a trip to the Human Corridor Defense Line was necessary—hoping that Qu Yi and Fang Chong would not run into trouble.
