Ding Kui is very strong.

Badun rarely uses the word 'strong' to describe anything or anyone; the only time he would use such an adjective is when he is helpless in the face of it.

While Ren Yisheng's strength could be countered, Ding Kui's strength forced Badun to keep his distance.

"This thing..."

Badun felt that Ding Kui should not be in the sea, nor should he be in Zhang Xuezhou's hands. He even felt that Zhang Xuezhou should not be able to get close to Ding Kui.

Leaving aside Ding Kui's offensive power, the protective power of this treasure alone makes it difficult for anyone to approach, and even he would find it difficult to withstand.

"Could it be that Dingkui has been used too many times and is now damaged?"

If we were to look for a possibility, Badun is more inclined to believe that the functional decline was caused by the breakage of the oscillating device.

However, it would be absolutely impossible to let Badun verify it.

It's like someone who's afraid of snakes seeing a venomous snake caught; even if the snake is in the snake catcher's hands, they'll still be afraid to approach it, let alone examine it.

"Sir Badun, come quick! I've pulled up a treasure in the sea. See if you can take a look!"

The small boat did not dock, but maintained a certain distance.

Zhang Xuezhou stopped the small boat and then jumped into the water at an extremely slow speed.

Once his head emerged from the seawater, Zhang Xuezhou was able to speak quickly and fluently again.

"What treasure? Where did it come from?"

Badun responded, glancing at the distance the small boat maintained from the Qinmeng coastline, and couldn't help but spit out another saliva.

He glanced at Ding Kui from dozens of meters away with considerable apprehension, yet he had no choice but to respond to Zhang Xuezhou.

"I saw two ferocious winged tigers fighting in the sky by the sea, and then this thing fell into the sea. We retrieved it in a small boat. Let's study it and figure it out as much as we can. If we can't figure it out, let's keep it far away so the beasts don't snatch it back!"

Zhang Xuezhou shook the seawater off his hair and clothes and directly asked the dwarf, who was probably from the Celestial Craftsmen Clan, for help.

The fight between Hu Yu and Hu Hao was completely different from what Zhang Xuezhou had imagined. In Zhang Xuezhou's understanding, a fight between cultivators was only a short while long, and could even be decided in a single move. There was no need for a protracted and entangled battle.

This made him hesitant to venture into the snake pit to try and take advantage of the situation, but reality dealt him a harsh blow.

Seeing that Hu Yu and Hu Hao had been fighting for thousands of miles and were still locked in combat, Zhang Xuezhou mustered his courage and resorted to underhanded tactics.

Although he didn't know where Hu Yu and Hu Hao, who had transformed into giant fish, had gone, his process of taking Ding Kui went quite smoothly.

However, Ding Kui was a real headache for Zhang Xuezhou. Whether placed on land, in seawater, or on a small boat, this treasure possessed extremely strong corrosive and impact-resistant properties.

Let alone using Ding Kui, he even experienced physical discomfort after spending too much time near Ding Kui.

Even if he wanted to cover Ding Kui with a canvas to block the light, he couldn't, as the repulsive force emanating from Ding Kui would push the canvas away.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't want to take advantage of Ding Kui. He only hoped that this treasure could be hidden from Hu Yu's knowledge, or perhaps he could simply destroy Ding Kui.

"I finally managed to retrieve the beast's treasure, so why don't you do something about it, old man!"

In the distance, Ren Yisheng's SUV was slowly approaching listlessly, and Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but urge Badun on repeatedly.

"I won't take anything that isn't my treasure!"

Badun hesitated for a few seconds before awkwardly replying.

"Then I'll take it to you," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"I won't accept your offer even if you give it to me," Badun said, waving his hands repeatedly.

"If you have a way, please help us deal with this. I heard they say that using this treasure can affect an area of ten miles in one strike. Don't let them catch up and leave you with no way to escape!"

Where did you hear that from?

"That ferocious tiger with long blue wings said it himself!"

"Blue Wings!"

Montesbottom 'Badun expression changed slightly.

Zhang Xuezhou's words don't count, but Hu Yu's words are obviously very true.

Being chased by a formidable beast at least offers a chance to fight back and escape, but a single blow from Ding Kui turns one into a lamb to the slaughter.

No law, no ability, no leadership skills—none of these can compare to the treasures inherited through bloodline.

The ability to use tools is the most significant difference between humans and animals, and this principle also applies to the treasure system.

No matter how strong a body, how great the strength, or how fast the speed, these are all behaviors of lower beings seeking to become stronger due to a lack of choice. Beings that truly use treasures disdain such actions, and only the latter are considered advanced beings.

Under this concept, beings who rely on treasures have an extremely high status, and treasures have become a symbol of strength.

Badun's mind raced with the information he had gathered. He reached behind him and pulled out the long staff he always carried with him.

His stick was 1.2 meters long, but only as thick as a finger.

The stick was light and slippery.

But as long as Badun strikes his opponent, the stick is strong enough to break through the resistance layer; it's no exaggeration to say that the stick's power can penetrate metal and stone.

Moreover, his stick can also change its form; for example, drawing silk to bind Ren Yisheng is one way to use it.

The only thing that can counter a treasure is a treasure. Seeing Zhang Xuezhou looking sickly, Badun felt that Ding Kui was in trouble, and he could test him with a treasure.

He flicked the long staff lightly, and a strand of alloy wire on the staff shot towards Ding Kui on the small boat like a dart.

In the faint, iridescent light, Badun saw that the silk threads binding Ding Kui were like weathered fibers; with just a slight exertion of force, these threads broke into pieces.

The fine threads that could cut through ferocious beasts showed no resilience whatsoever, appearing even more fragile than a hair.

"Bundle!"

Badun swung his long stick repeatedly, sending out several thin strands.

Compared to the previous binding cuts, these fine filaments can penetrate into any gaps.

Tiger Yu, wielding the Dingkui sword, kept Badun at bay, and the difficulty of dealing with Law Treasure had obviously decreased exponentially.

"It seems to be working!"

Zhang Xuezhou's low voice came, and Badun began to reach out and guide the alloy wire.

Perhaps it was because many alloy threads were interspersed within the Dingkui, or perhaps these threads began to wrap around and cover the Dingkui, but the seven-colored shimmering light of the Dingkui became more flawed.

"Since you've given me this treasure, I'll reluctantly accept it!"

Zhang Xuezhou's low voice had barely faded when Badun added a sentence.

He stomped his foot hard on the shore, then reached out and grabbed the small boat, leaping towards it like an eagle.

As he pulled the small boat, which was floating in the sea, within a few meters, Badun's legs were already firmly planted on the boat.

"I'll take it back..."

Badun was about to speak when his skin suddenly turned silvery-gray, and his face flushed red. He swallowed back the words he was about to say in joy.

He closed his mouth, gestured with his hand towards the small boat, and the boat shot off like an arrow across the dark sea.

"You went through all that trouble to get it back, and you're just going to give it to Badun like this?"

Ren Yisheng's SUV stopped fifty meters away and then sped over.

He asked a question, and saw that Zhang Xuezhou's face had turned a little paler, and a trace of blood had seeped from the corner of his mouth, the corner of his eye, his nostrils, and his ear canals.
