Seeing the Earth God pick up his cane, about to deliver a devastating blow, Ding Ning shouted at Jiajia, "Take the girl and go!"

Jiajia had already been thinking about this. After all, her mission was to protect Miss Yue. However, Yue Ge'er insisted on staying to watch Ding Ning, so she didn't leave.

Now that Ding Ning saw the situation was not good and told her to leave, she immediately grabbed Yue Ge'er, "Miss, let's go!"

After saying that, she almost dragged and carried Yue Ge'er down to the first floor.

The Earth God's momentum, which he had just built up, was now half gone. If he killed Ding Ning here but let Jiajia and Yue Ge'er escape, everything would be for nothing. He wouldn't get the money, and he would have to run away. After all, the Yue Group still had significant influence, and if they mobilized their full strength, he couldn't resist.

But if he chased Yue Ge'er, he would miss the best opportunity to kill Ding Ning, and who knows what chaos might ensue.

This fat guy is really devious!

This was the Earth God's first impression. He gritted his teeth and looked at Ding Ning, then said to Wang Baihua, "Brother Wang, no matter what, you have to hold him back. Don't let him go downstairs."

Wang Baihua also saw the severity of the situation. The thugs had just gotten up from the ground and couldn't stop Jiajia. Only the Earth God could chase them.

Fortunately, at this moment, A Jie recovered and stood up. Wang Baihua gritted his teeth, "You go quickly. This kid won't get downstairs in a minute."

"A minute is enough!"

The Earth God shouted and quickly rushed downstairs.

Ding Ning raised his hand, and the remaining one-yuan coin, six or seven fifty-cent coins, and a few ten-cent coins rained down on the Earth God.

The Earth God's forward momentum was immediately halted as he swung his cane to knock the coins away.

In this brief pause, Jiajia had already taken Yue Ge'er downstairs. The sounds of screams came from downstairs, with Ma Yingxiong's being the most pitiful, but it was unclear how Jiajia had dealt with him.

Wang Baihua shouted anxiously, "Hurry up, the door downstairs is locked. They can't get out immediately, you can catch them."

The Earth God looked at Ding Ning with a murderous gaze and rushed downstairs again.

As soon as he disappeared down the corridor, Ding Ning didn't even look at Wang Baihua and A Jie. His fat body leaped, and he jumped out of the window!

"Thud! Ouch!"

Ding Ning didn't have lightness skills, and this fall was quite severe. But he didn't care about his nearly split-open buttocks. He took out a jade ball and aimed it at the door, "Smash it!"

A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking the door. The spherical lock was instantly destroyed, and Ding Ning kicked the door open, shouting inside, "Come out!"

At this moment, Jiajia had also brought Yue Ge'er to the door. Seeing that Ding Ning had already opened the door, she was both shocked and excited, and she rushed out with Yue Ge'er.

After getting out, she headed straight for the BMW X6M. As long as they got in the car, Jiajia believed no one could catch them.

At this moment, the Earth God also rushed downstairs. The old man was extremely fast, almost coming out of the door right after Jiajia and Yue Ge'er.

"Hey! None of you will escape!"

His cane whistled through the air as he leaped to the door. Since Jiajia was carrying Yue Ge'er, it was inconvenient for her to run, and he only needed one more step to bring them into his attack range.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out, a torrent of water poured down from the sky, drenching him.

"Where did the water come from?"

The Earth God's anger was instantly extinguished. He looked up at the sky, which was indeed overcast, as if it was about to rain.

This brief delay allowed Jiajia to bring Yue Ge'er to the car.

At this moment, Yue Ge'er wasn't slow either. She quickly ran to the passenger side and opened the door, while Jiajia rushed to the driver's seat.

"Hey... get in the car quickly!"

As soon as Yue Ge'er got in, she immediately called out to Ding Ning. In her eyes, Ding Ning was her savior, and she couldn't leave him behind.

But it was too late. The Earth God, drenched, still chased quickly. If Ding Ning got in the car now, he would definitely be caught, and all three would be in danger.

Ding Ning smiled and looked back at Yue Ge'er, "You go, remember, good people will always be rewarded!"

"No! We go together!"

Yue Ge'er was about to get out of the car, and Ding Ning immediately gave Jiajia a sharp look.

Jiajia understood. She wasn't a hesitant young lady; she had to ensure Yue Ge'er's safety. Before Yue Ge'er could open the door, she immediately stepped on the gas, and the BMW's superior performance was evident as it sped away.

The Earth God rushed over and swung his cane at Jiajia in the driver's seat.

If this hit, Jiajia would either die or be seriously injured.

Jiajia had no time to react and couldn't dodge inside the car. At this moment, Ding Ning raised his hand, and another bolt of lightning struck down!

"Crack!"

The lightning hit the Earth God's cane, and a flash of electricity enveloped him, causing him to stand there, trembling.

"Truly foolish, foolish! It's about to rain, and you're holding an iron cane like a lightning rod. Even the heavens can't stand it, and you got struck by lightning!"

Ding Ning said, watching the BMW drive away. He immediately held two more jade balls in his hand.

The Earth God was powerful, and one bolt of lightning might not be enough to finish him.

The Earth God was more shocked than paralyzed. Who was this fat guy? He could summon lightning!

Was he a thunder god incarnate?

A lightning goddess reborn?

A wild boar turned into a spirit?

The Earth God was drenched, and his iron cane was a natural conductor. The lightning's power was not wasted, giving him a full-body shock.

At first, he wondered who had poured water on him, but now he knew it was this fat guy's doing.

Seeing Ding Ning holding a jade ball with lightning emanating from it, the Earth God shuddered again.

He was powerful, and the lightning had hurt him, but he could still hold on.

His body emitted the smell of roasted meat, and fear appeared on his face.

The fear of the unknown overcame his courage. This scene was too shocking, and he was afraid.

Ding Ning took a step forward, holding the jade ball, and laughed strangely, "Old man, aren't you the Earth God? Show me your earth遁 (earth遁 is a term for earth-based teleportation in Chinese mythology). If you can't, leave your life here today!"

Seeing Ding Ning raise his hand, the Earth God didn't want to experience being struck by lightning again. He let out a strange cry, threw his iron cane at Ding Ning, and ran away!

Despite his age, the Earth God ran quite fast, darting away like a rabbit.

Ding Ning couldn't let him escape and chased after him.

At this moment, Wang Baihua and the others stumbled out of the building. A Jie saw Ding Ning chasing the Earth God and wanted to follow, but Wang Baihua pulled him back.

"Don't chase."

A Jie looked at his master in confusion. The commotion outside was significant, and it seemed like there was thunder. Now Ding Ning was chasing the Earth God, and it was clear the Earth God was at a disadvantage. Why didn't his master want him to help?

Wang Baihua, holding his wound, said with difficulty, "The Earth God isn't retreating; he's luring the enemy deeper. Do you remember what happened to that old man a few days ago?"

A Jie suddenly understood. When faced with an enemy he couldn't defeat, the Earth God often took unexpected actions. This little fat guy was also a tough opponent, and the Earth God was using a tactic.

Ding Ning, holding the lightning ball, looked back and saw no one chasing him, so he was relieved.

However, he underestimated the Earth God's speed and overestimated his own.

He was a cultivator, but his physical condition hadn't fundamentally improved. After running for a while, he was far from the center of the Yue family compound and in the wilderness. His heart was pounding, as if it might jump out of his chest at any moment.

He stopped, panting heavily. The Earth God had disappeared, and in the distance, there seemed to be a small temple.
