**[MSBISS] Chapter 66**
Thick smoke from the explosion spread.
After Gong Ding vomited two mouthfuls of blood, he realized something was wrong with his junior brother, Ba Hao.
Ba Hao made no sound.
He shouted, "Junior brother, are you okay?"
There was no response.
Gong Ding couldn't help but stretch out his hand to touch Ba Hao.
Ba Hao, who looked normal on the surface, fell straight down.
Blood flowed from everywhere on his body.
His mouth, nostrils, and even his eyes were bleeding.
It looked very scary.
It seemed as if he had been killed in an instant; his internal organs were destroyed, and even his soul seemed to have been obliterated.
Gong Ding's pupils shrank sharply, and he screamed, "Junior brother!"
"Your junior brother is dead, and you don't even know?"
In the thick smoke, Lu Chen's voice came, laced with a strong sense of self-satisfaction: "No one can survive my Zhang Zheng's attack."
As the thick smoke gradually dissipated, Lu Chen appeared in front of Gong Ding with Xiao Ye.
Gong Ding shouted in grief and anger, "You! What did you do to my junior brother?"
Lu Chen said, feigning shock, "He's dead; didn't you see it?"
"Do you really think that I, Zhang Zheng, am easy to bully? My brother is Zhang Conglong. Do you think that you are worthy of being his younger brother?"
"You, you..."
Gong Ding was shocked and angry.
But it was more a sense of fear.
He looked at his junior brother, who lay next to him.
He still hadn't figured out how his junior brother Ba Hao had died.
This was what scared him.
The opponent in front of him was far stronger than he had imagined.
He was definitely not in the early stages of foundation building.
If he were in the early stage of foundation building, it would have been impossible to easily break through his defenses and kill his junior brother.
Lu Chen said to Xiao Ye, "Go and kill him."
Xiao Ye, who had been watching the scene unfold, was stunned for a moment, and then her scalp went numb.
"Second Brother, are you kidding?"
Although the opponent was seriously injured, he was still strong.
He was in the early stage of foundation building, far more powerful than her in the Qi refining stage.
Asking her to deal with Gong Ding was like asking her to face certain death.
Lu Chen said disdainfully, "What are you afraid of?"
"He was seriously injured and has shown no strength at all. If you can't defeat him now, how do you think you deserve to be Zhang Conglong's sister?"
"As Zhang Conglong's sister, you should not be afraid of danger, ignore difficulties, and move forward bravely."
"You must not retreat in the face of battle and embarrass your brother."
"Come on, Zhang Xiaolu."
What Lu Chen said was so righteous that Xiao Ye wanted to cry.
"I'm not that guy's sister."
Gong Ding was even more frightened when he heard Lu Chen's words, "What do you want to do?"
Lu Chen replied, "It's very simple. If you can win a fight with my sister, I will let you go."
"If you can't win, I will kill you."
Xiao Ye panicked even more; this was serious.
Gong Ding was already in despair, but after hearing Lu Chen's words, hope ignited in his eyes.
"Seriously?"
He looked intently at Xiao Ye.
He was instantly filled with murderous intent.
Xiao Ye initially seemed to him to be a pretty girl with an earthy name.
Even during the attack just now, he had felt a little regretful.
Now, however, Xiao Ye was his lifeline.
He looked at Lu Chen and asked, "What if I accidentally kill her?"
Lu Chen said, "It's just right if you kill her. I dislike this scumbag."
"If you kill her, I can only blame her for her lack of skill. A loser is not worthy of being Zhang Conglong's sister."
Xiao Ye truly wanted to cry.
"Is this because you think I can't die quickly enough, so you have to dig a hole for me?"
Xiao Ye looked at her second senior brother, hoping that he was joking.
After all, only a few of the ten sentences he usually said were true. A second senior brother could be capable of such things.
But what she saw was a second senior brother with a serious expression.
Lu Chen said to her, in a tone that left no room for doubt, "Go ahead, use what you have learned throughout your life, and kill him."
"Second Senior Brother, are you serious?" Xiao Ye asked timidly.
Lu Chen said with a straight face, "Do you think I'm joking?"
After finishing his statement, Lu Chen retreated, leaving the space clear for the two of them.
Lu Chen jumped onto a dead tree and observed from a high position.
"Let's get started!"
Gong Ding's expression turned ferocious: "If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude."
Although he suffered a backlash from the talisman and was seriously injured,
the spiritual power in his body circulated intermittently and was not smooth, reducing his strength to less than half of its usual capacity.
But in his opinion, it was enough to deal with a cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm like Xiao Ye.
As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Gong Ding's murderous intent surged in his heart, and he wanted to demonstrate to the enemy before him through action.
Even if he was injured, he was not something someone in the Qi Refining Realm, like Xiao Ye, could handle.
"Kill!"
Gong Ding shouted loudly.
A talisman appeared in his hand.
After reluctantly injecting spiritual power, the spiritual talisman glowed brightly.
Xiao Ye was extremely vigilant.
However, she noticed that the talisman in Gong Ding's hand did not attack her but formed a barrier in front of him.
Lu Chen's voice was heard.
"Are you stupid? Why don't you take the opportunity to attack?"
"Are you here to watch a show?"
Xiao Ye's face turned red, and she hurried forward to attack.
The long sword in her hand gathered spiritual power and stabbed toward Gong Ding.
The incredibly sharp longsword struck the barrier in front of Gong Ding but produced a crisp sound.
Like a thorn in iron armor,
it could not advance even half a minute.
Gong Ding smiled coldly, "Innocent; do you really think you can hurt me like this?"
Then another magic talisman was thrown.
A huge fireball surged toward Xiao Ye.
The fireball roared, and the scorching heat wave rushed toward her.
The emerald green that had finally appeared around her suddenly withered under the heat wave.
Xiao Ye hurriedly pulled back.
At the same time, she raised her long sword and swung it fiercely at the fireball.
The tremendous collision made Xiao Ye's face turn pale, and blood surged in her throat.
Although she was injured, Gong Ding was always at a higher level than Xiao Ye.
She could not easily withstand Gong Ding's attack.
The fireball was deflected to the side and struck the ground with a heavy thud, causing a violent explosion.
A large crater was blasted into the ground, and the terrifying high temperature caused the surrounding stones and soil to melt into magma.
Xiao Ye kept gasping for air.
Just now, in order to resist Gong Ding's onslaught, most of the spiritual energy in her body had been consumed.
If it came one more time, she might not withstand it.
But at this moment, Xiao Ye smelled something burning.
After reaching out and touching her hair,
Xiao Ye screamed.
"Ah!"
"My hair!"
"You go to hell!"
Xiao Ye's eyes turned red; she was furious, and her sword ignited.
The Qingping sword technique was unleashed.
It was accompanied by waves of heart-stopping fluctuations.
Though soft, it gave people a suffocating feeling.
The smile on Gong Ding's face froze.
He screamed too.
"Sword intent?"
Under the terrifying sword intent, the barrier that Gong Ding had been so proud of was as fragile as tofu.
"Puff!"
Gong Ding spat out a mouthful of blood, turned around, and fled without saying a word.
