"Pianwu is my woman and has never belonged to you. What do you mean by giving her to me?"
Ding Ning's hand was like an iron hoop, firmly gripping Long Feiyang's throat but giving him a sliver of a chance to speak.
"Yes, yes, yes, she has never belonged to me. It was the master of the Feng family who forcefully gave her to me in order to curry favor with the Long family. He also said that we would consummate our marriage today. If I want to be the principal wife, I will be the principal wife. If I want to be the concubine, I will be the concubine. It was all given by him. It has nothing to do with me."
In order to survive, Long Feiyang was going all out. He spoke without thinking and completely sold out the great ancestor of the Feng family.
Feeling the disdainful gazes from all around, the great ancestor of the Feng family's face burned. He wished that Ding Ning could quickly kill Long Feiyang and shut up his foul mouth.
"Oh, master of the Feng family, is what he said true? You've already betrothed Pianwu to this bastard who has no backbone at all? "
Ding Ning stared fixedly at the great ancestor of the Feng family. Although he wanted to tear this old bastard into pieces, he had to consider Pianwu's feelings. Intentionally or unintentionally, he gave the great ancestor a way out of this embarrassing situation. Of course, this was also to prove Pianwu's innocence in front of the world.
The great ancestor of the Feng family's heart moved. How could he not hear the meaning in Ding Ning's words? He immediately shamelessly said righteously, "Nonsense. It was clearly Long Feiyang who has always coveted Pianwu's beauty and begged me to marry Pianwu. But Pianwu doesn't like him at all, so I directly refused him. I didn't think that he would slander the Feng family like this. I can swear to the heavens here that Pianwu has never been betrothed to him. Otherwise, I will die a horrible death."
After the great ancestor of the Feng family swore, he comforted himself in his heart, deceiving himself. Parents' orders, matchmaker's words. I was just saying before and haven't officially given the engagement letter. It can't be considered a lie.
"Feng … ah!"
Long Feiyang was furious and was about to curse when Ding Ning suddenly tightened his grip. His veins bulged and he had difficulty breathing. His eyes rolled back and he couldn't say anything.
The members of the Feng family lowered their heads with ugly expressions, especially Feng Ni 'er. She had not thought that the ancestor she had always respected would be so shameless. He was able to tell a lie without blushing or gasping for breath. He could deny what he had just said in the blink of an eye and even dared to swear to the heavens with a strong sense of righteousness.
However, this was also good. At least Aunt Wu did not have to marry that annoying Long Feiyang. However, Ding Ning did not seem to be as old as her, right? If he married Fifth Aunt, how should she address him in the future? Should he call Ding Ning or Fifth Aunt Nanny? The difference in seniority … was too ridiculous. It felt so complicated.
Compared to Feng Ni 'er's confusion, Long Xiaotian was even more confused. No matter how much he hated Long Feiyang, he was still his little grandfather. He couldn't just watch as he was killed, could he?
But he remembered that when Ding Ning was besieged, he did not stop them. Although it was useless to stop them, it was a matter of attitude after all. How could he have the face to plead now?
"So that's how it is. I didn't think that Long Feiyang would be so despicable. He dares to ruin my family's Pianwu's reputation. He deserves to die."
Ding Ning nodded as if he suddenly understood. Based on the fact that the ancestor of the Feng family was so tactful, he generously decided to let this old cabbage off this once.
However, he would not let go of Long Feiyang who dared to covet Pianwu's beauty. Although he had already seen Long Xiaotian's hesitant expression, he pretended not to see it. With a forceful squeeze, he crushed Long Feiyang's throat.
"Ah!"
Long Feiyang only had time to let out a muffled grunt before he completely lost consciousness. With a thud, he was thrown to the ground like a tattered old sack. He could not be more dead.
"You …"
The Long family immediately became restless. They glared angrily at Ding Ning, looking as if they would swarm him and tear him to pieces.
Long Xiaotian sighed deeply and waved his hand to stop everyone's impulsiveness. He looked at Ding Ning with a complicated gaze. "I know I am not a match for you, but today you killed my grandfather. I will definitely avenge this. If you are worried that I will become a threat to you in the future, you can kill me now. If you have no fear, one day, I will find you to collect this debt of blood."
"Brother Xiaotian!"
Feng Ni 'er panicked. Fifth Aunt was going to marry Ding Ning, but now Long Xiaotian had announced that he would fight to the death with Ding Ning. Then what would happen to her and Long Xiaotian's marriage?
"Ni 'er, I'm sorry. This is my last dignity as a member of the Long family."
Long Xiaotian looked deeply at Feng Ni 'er and resolutely turned his head to look directly at Ding Ning.
Feng Ni 'er knew that her and Long Xiaotian's marriage was most likely irrevocable. This made her feel as if she had been struck by lightning. She stared dumbly at Long Xiaotian's back, tears already streaming down her face.
The great ancestor of the Feng family furrowed his brows tightly. Long Feiyang was dead. The great ancestor of the Long family would certainly fly into a rage and even take his anger out on the Feng family. Right now, unless they could rope Ding Ning into the Feng family, there was no way they could contend against the Long family.
However, so many people wanted to kill Ding Ning. Was the Feng family not seeking death by forming a relationship with Ding Ning at this time? This complicated situation gave this old fox a headache.
"Go, I will wait for you. If you can kill me, I will admit that I am unlucky. If you cannot kill me, I will give you three chances to live," Ding Ning said lightly.
"Okay, it's a deal.
"Fine, it's a deal. If I can't kill you after three tries, then I'm useless. I'll kill myself on the spot to comfort my grandfather's soul in heaven."
Long Xiaotian spoke solemnly. The determination in his tone moved everyone present. Ding Ning furrowed his brows.
Ding Ning frowned. To be honest, he admired Long Xiaotian's frank and unrestrained temperament and did not want him to die like this. He immediately stretched out his finger and shook it. "I don't want your life. Now I've changed my mind. I'll give you five chances. If you can't keep your revenge after five chances, you have to promise me one thing."
"What condition?"
Long Xiaotian asked seriously.
"I won't tell you now. If you can kill me, you will not say this condition. If you cannot kill me, then this condition can be fulfilled."
Ding Ning was unwilling to say it directly but Feng Pianwu understood. Glancing at him gratefully, she spoke to the heartbroken Feng Ni 'er telepathically, "Silly girl, don't cry. In order to bring you and Long Xiaotian together, Ding Ning has already made a bet. You should be happy."
Feng Ni 'er raised her head, revealing her red and swollen eyes. She stared blankly at Feng Pianwu and did not know what to do.
"Silly girl, how could Ding Ning watch as Xiaotian and you are separated? He made a pact of five assassinations with Xiaotian in exchange for one condition so that you two can be together," Feng Pianwu comforted in a quiet voice.
She should not have revealed Ding Ning's intentions ahead of time but she could not bear to see Feng Ni 'er so sad. Besides, their marriage had been broken up because of her. It was impossible for her not to feel guilty.
Ding Ning had clearly thought of this and used such a method to help them be together. It also calmed the regret and guilt in her heart.
Hope and surprise shone in Feng Ni 'er's bewildered eyes. Her gaze toward Ding Ning also became more intimate. No matter what, he dared to use Long Xiaotian's five chances to not kill him as a bet. Just this was enough to prove how much he treasured and cared for Fifth Aunt. Then, should she call him Fifth Aunt?
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Long Xiaotian and Ding Ning clapped hands and made an oath. They had the Long family carry Long Feiyang's body and their backs desolate as they returned to the Long family's camp.
It was not that he did not want to return directly to the Long family but if he wanted to avenge Long Feiyang, he had to enter the Heaven-accessing Land to obtain a chance to raise his cultivation. Otherwise, he would not be able to catch up to Ding Ning's footsteps.
Because Ding Ning's mysterious method of moving people over shocked everyone, the killing also came to a halt. But after the person who had been hiding in the dark and attacking Ding Ning with lightning struck again, the scene once again became a meat grinder.
Even though the Feng family had retreated from the siege and were watching from the sidelines, countless enemies still waved all kinds of weapons and attacked again.
Ding Ning still had to protect Feng Pianwu and it became more and more difficult for him to defend. In the blink of an eye, countless injuries were added to his body.
He had the physical defense of the peak of the Holy Martial Arts Realm but he was still wounded. From this, the density of the attacks could be seen.
In particular, he suddenly remembered that Zi Que 'er and the others were also trapped in the siege at this moment. He immediately became anxious. Although their physical strength was far greater than that of the human race, they could not withstand such an endless human wave attack.
In a moment of desperation, Ding Ning shouted angrily. His pair of fangs drew an arc and forced the people who surrounded him to retreat. His whole body suddenly disappeared from the spot.
"Where is he?"
"He ran away?"
"How could he run away? There are so many people watching him. "
"A monk can run away but the temple can't run away. Kill his woman."
"Haha, I thought he was a man who valued relationships. I didn't expect that he would also run away in the face of disaster."
"It's a pity for such a beautiful woman. I thought she had found the love of her life. Hehe, in the end, she abandoned him and ran away."
"That guy is very strange. How did he escape?"
"Who knows. That guy is very mysterious. Everyone better be careful."
…
The scene was immediately in an uproar. Bloodshot, the people stared at Feng Pianwu like hungry wolves and attacked her without hesitation.
The terrifying power could destroy the world and made Feng Pianwu feel a wave of despair. She gave up resisting and closed her eyes. Her heart was both comforted and somewhat disappointed. In the end, he still abandoned her at the last moment.
That was good. It was she who had dragged him down. If it weren't for her, he would have escaped a long time ago. He had not let her down by persevering until now. Run, the further the better. If there is a next life, I will be your bride.
A look of relief appeared on Feng Pianwu's face. She closed her eyes and opened her arms as if to embrace the air. She quietly waited for the arrival of death.
"Fifth Aunt!"
The Feng family members could not bear it. Feng Ni 'er covered her mouth and let out a heart-wrenching cry.
But no matter how sad they were, no one could stop all of this from happening. Even with the cold nature of the old ancestor of the Feng family, he could not bear to watch. He closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
Roar!
An earth-shattering roar suddenly exploded. The crowd immediately fell into chaos and let out terrified cries.
Before Feng Pianwu could come to her senses, she felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her slender waist. The next moment, she had fallen into a thick and warm embrace. The familiar scent of the man behind her almost made her cry with joy. He had come back to save her. No, he had never left. He had never truly given up on her.
Opening her eyes, she saw that she was riding on a large red beast. Ding Ning sat behind her and hugged her. He raised the fang in his hand and shouted, "Everyone, put down your weapons. If you dare to resist, I will kill you without mercy!"
The shout quickly spread through the entire valley. Everyone paused and then roared with laughter. As if they were looking at a clown, they said mockingly, "You think you are invincible just because you are riding on a spiritual pet?"
"How laughable. You don't know your own death. Do you want to kill all of us single-handedly?"
"Come, come, come. I will not put down my weapon. Let's see how you kill without mercy."
"You still don't understand? You must be shouting. You're just bluffing."
"Haha, maybe the spiritual pet he is riding is a divine beast. With a roar, we will all be turned into ashes."
