The scene fell into a dead silence. Fear flashed in everyone's eyes, and they did not dare to look directly at Ding Ning's demonic purple pupils.
Only at this moment did they remember that Ding Ning was not a soft persimmon that they could knead and use at will. He would kill people if he didn't agree with them.
Although they were very reluctant to admit it, they had to accept the reality. Ding Ning, the malignant star, was definitely not someone they could manipulate at will. Even the superior disciples of the Holy Gate could only obediently shut their mouths at this moment, lowered their heads in awe, and did not even dare to breathe heavily.
The middle-aged man, Li Congfeng, was the leading elder of the Holy Medical Family and an expert at the middle stage of the God Martial Arts Realm. He was a big shot who could summon wind and rain wherever he went in the outside world, but Ding Ning killed him without any room for resistance.
The most frightening thing was that Ding Ning just stared at the middle-aged man from dozens of meters away. What kind of weird means was this? How could they not feel scared from the bottom of their hearts?
Even the high-level experts of the Holy Gate and other superpowers lowered their heads to avoid Ding Ning's eyes with flickering eyes, for fear that they would be killed by Ding Ning's stare if they annoyed him.
Even if they were stronger than the middle-aged man of the Holy Medical Family, they were not much stronger. Ding Ning could stare at him to death, which meant that it would not take much effort for him to stare at them to death. How could they dare to provoke him?
This place was too horrible. Previously, they only thought that the ant colony was horrible. Since Ding Ning was a human, they had to worry about the lives of so many people, so they dared to make use of him. But now, they would rather face the ant colony than this horrible little malignant star.
Ding Ning looked around coldly. Seeing that no one dared to look at him, the purple light in his eyes gradually disappeared. He stamped his feet casually and killed a group of attacking ants with a War Trample. He said indifferently, "Now I give you two choices. First, get out of here immediately and don't follow me. You can form a team and kill your way out. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me."
Everyone raised their heads one after another. They really wanted to have the guts to form their own team, but looking at the endless army of ants in front of them, everyone felt their scalps go numb, and their lips trembled, unable to say a word.
It was not until this moment that they realized how lucky they were to have Ding Ning paving the way for them. Not to mention how powerful the ant colony was, just the terrifying number of ants was enough to give people an unparalleled visual impact, which would make people despair and lose all their courage.
In fact, they were all warriors with rich combat experience. After exterminating a few waves of ants, they had already discovered the weakness of these ants, which was their fragile internal organs.
The ants here were extremely strange. Not to mention that their skin was rough and their flesh was thick, but their inconspicuous thin ant armor was absolutely impenetrable. If you wanted to kill them, you definitely couldn't attack the ant armor. Shattering their internal organs was the most labor-saving method.
Ding Ning obviously knew this, which was why he used Brutal Charge and War Trample in turn to achieve the best effect with the least effort.
Logically speaking, since they knew the weakness of the ant colony, under Ding Ning's aggressive and merciless threat, they should have the guts to leave.
But in fact, they didn't dare to make such a choice at all, because they knew very well that although there were so many of them, none of them practiced a large-scale shockwave killing skill. They could only kill the ants one by one, and the efficiency was extremely low.
This also meant that they could only resist the invasion of the ant colony in a small area. Once they charged in the front line like Ding Ning, they would bear the brunt of the endless ant colony. If they could not kill them, they would immediately be drowned by the terrifying ant colony.
What's more, using shockwave killing consumed a lot of spiritual power. Even if someone could barely replace Ding Ning's role, they would not last long before they exhausted their spiritual power and became food for the ant colony.
In this case, leaving Ding Ning was a dead end for them. How could they dare to stand on the moral high ground and criticize Ding Ning as arrogantly as before?
"The second choice is to stay, but staying does not mean that you can enjoy the ease that I bring you with a clear conscience. You must spread out and go through the whole team to assist the warriors in the rear to defend against the invasion of the ant colony."
Ding Ning glanced at the crowd and saw that many people showed dissatisfaction in their eyes. He immediately said coldly, "I know that you think your status is noble, and the lives of those individual cultivators and warriors from small forces are not worth mentioning in your eyes. But let me tell you, if you want to stay, you must do as I say. In my eyes, everyone is the same, and you are not nobler than anyone else. Now, make your choice."
The monks of the Tianyin Temple all looked ashamed. The old monk Wu Tong put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha. He said shamefully, "Amitabha, Benefactor Ding is compassionate and treats everyone equally. This is the true equality of all living beings. I have practiced Buddhism for decades in vain, but my selfishness has caused mischief and I am afraid of death. I am ashamed. The monks of the Tianyin Temple are willing to stay at the end of the team."
After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Ding Ning, turned around, and walked to the end of the team. The monks also bowed in unison and followed behind him resolutely. Their backs looked a little more solemn and stirring.
Some of the others looked ashamed, some were secretly delighted, some sneered disdainfully, some secretly rejoiced, some secretly rejoiced, some were deeply worried, some showed admiration, and some looked on coldly from the sidelines … There were all kinds of expressions on people's faces.
This was because everyone knew very well that although the end of the team was not as dangerous as the front line, it was the second most dangerous place in the entire team. The death rate was also the highest. Although Master Wu Tong's previous behavior was contemptible, his sudden awakening and heroic sacrifice at this moment changed everyone's opinion of him.
Ding Ning looked at Wu Tong's back, and his cold eyes slowly warmed up. He raised his voice and said, "Master Wu Tong, the sea of bitterness is boundless. Repent and you will be saved. If you can survive this time, you will definitely achieve your wish."
Wu Tong's body shook, and his footsteps paused for a moment. Then, he immediately continued to stride forward. However, compared to his heavy footsteps before, they were extremely light, as if he had thought through something.
A smile appeared on Ding Ning's face. Although this old monk was annoying, he still had a conscience. After this enlightenment, he would definitely break through the shackles and reach the Saint Martial Arts Realm.
"In accordance with our Lord's divine decree, we will all listen to the Son of the Holy Light's orders. Please pass on the Holy Light's divine decree."
I ask the Son of Holy Light to pass on the Holy Light's order. "The two archbishops of the Holy Church, leading hundreds of Holy Knights, placed their right hands on their chests, bowed deeply, and said respectfully.
Ding Ning's face darkened, and he secretly cursed them for being sly. However, he felt extremely sullen. This bunch of swindlers were really persistent. He was not some bullsh * t Son of Holy Light.
Although he knew that the Holy Church had come for Liuguang and did not have good intentions, the Holy Church had always expressed goodwill to him. It was not good for him to fall out with them in public. Moreover, they were in the same boat now. Since the Holy Church had expressed their stance like this, it was a form of support for him, so he could not say anything more.
He could only keep a straight face and say, "I am not some Son of Holy Light. However, since you have taken the initiative to ask for battle, then help the senior monks of the Tianyin Temple to cover the retreat."
He was using his position to avenge a personal grudge. "Didn't the Holy Church have ulterior motives and want to build a relationship with me? Fine, I will send you to the most dangerous place. Let's see if you know how to bargain."
Unexpectedly, the two archbishops bowed without hesitation and said devoutly, "As you wish."
Hundreds of paladins looked fanatical. They knelt on one knee and shouted, "As you wish!"
Then, under Ding Ning's dumbfounded expression, this bunch of swindlers turned around and walked to the end of the line without hesitation.
"Damn it, this bunch of swindlers are really obedient. Do they really treat me as the Son of Holy Light?"
However, he did not know what kind of stormy waves were set off in everyone's hearts when they saw this scene. Ding Ning's identity and background became more and more confusing.
"He is from Shenzhou. How could he be related to the Holy Church?" "Moreover, his status seems to be very high in the Holy Church. Even the red-robed archbishops actually listen to everything he says."
It should be known that the red-robed archbishops were clergymen with the most power and the highest status after the Pope. Even the Son of Holy Light and the Saintess couldn't compare to them. What kind of official position was this Son of Holy Light? Why had they never heard of it?
However, even if they were as curious as cats scratching at their hearts, no one dared to inquire at this time because Ding Ning had killed the elder of the Holy Medical Family with a glare.
But this did not stop them from gossiping in their hearts. They thought to themselves, "Is Ding Ning actually a mixed-race? Is he the illegitimate child of the Pope and the Daughter of Shenzhou? " Otherwise, how could he explain his lofty status in the Holy Church, which was second only to one but above tens of thousands of people?
Especially those surviving members of the Covenant of Darkness, they all showed a look of understanding in their eyes. If Ding Ning was the illegitimate child of the Pope, then he would have a perfect answer for targeting the Covenant of Darkness. After all, the two forces were sworn enemies. However, the old Pope was at least more than 100 years old. It was really enviable that he could have a child at such an old age. Could it be a kidney nourishing secret prescription?
If Ding Ning knew the dirty thoughts in their hearts, he would definitely be so angry that he would turn around and leave without saying anything. He did not care about their lives.
Unfortunately, he could not read minds. It was destined that he would not know the psychological activities of these people. With a straight face, he began to give orders. He asked the major forces, who had been relaxed for a long time, to distribute themselves on both sides of the team and cooperate with each other to resist the attacks of the ant colonies on both sides.
Of course, those wounded Warriors were protected in the middle of the team by Ding Ning's order. If anyone dared to abandon these burdens, then they should not blame him for being ruthless.
Although many people were dissatisfied with his arrangement, they could only bite the bullet and follow his orders out of fear of him and the righteousness he occupied.
Ding Ning was very clear that some of them were dissatisfied. In order to frighten them, he personally killed more than ten selfish Warriors who had abandoned their companions before to make an example for others.
Now, no one dared to disobey in public but disobey in private. All of them did their best to fulfill their duties. Under the leadership of Ding Ning, they killed a bloody path like a "train".
They thought that this process would be very difficult and that there would be a lot of sacrifices. But when they coordinated and cooperated wholeheartedly, they found that in fact, it was not as difficult as they imagined. The number of ants seemed to be terrifying, but in fact, the number of ants that could rush to them was extremely limited. It was like a thousand people besieging a person. This person only faced a few at a time. The others could not squeeze in at all, and they could be easily killed by each of them.
Of course, this was also due to the tactics arranged by Ding Ning. After the outermost circle destroyed a wave of ants, they immediately entered the inner circle to rest, and those in the inner circle immediately went to the outermost circle to destroy the next wave. This made them feel extremely relaxed.
Because they were divided into six rows, it meant that after they destroyed a wave, they could get five rounds of rest, always maintaining full combat effectiveness, and would not be exhausted because of excessive consumption.
This made many people who originally hated Ding Ning change their views on him unconsciously. They were grateful to him from the bottom of their hearts. For the first time, they realized the power of unity.
