Supreme Emperor of Swords

Other only vaguely knew why Ding Hao wanted to take Cao Ke, but nobody pled on his behalf.

Ding Hao gave a sneering laugh and pressed backhand on a thick tree. The tree then was covered with frost, as all the leaves fell down. He smiled cruelly, “You’d better follow me or I’ll set you straight!”

Cao Ke was terrified.

Looking at the almost frozen giant tree, he felt an icing air from his tailbone to skull. He could scarcely say a word as he recalled the scary moment when Ding Hao killed disciples of Tranquility Academy.

“I’ll go with you.” Li Yiruo said firmly, getting in front of Ding Hao.

“Go away! I’ve said you are our encumbrance. Don’t bother me!” Ding Hao said ferociously as he felt a bit impatient.

“No! I have to go!” Li Yiruo insisted, with some heartrending color shining in her girlish eyes.

Ding Hao sighed heavily and continued, “If you really want me to stay alive back to Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, then you’d better listen to me and don’t make trouble. You must be my encumbrance if you come. I won’t live on if you die.”

Li Yiruo bit her mouth and looked at Ding Hao. She finally obeyed him and softly said, “Ding Hao, you bastard… Take care.”

After their discussion, Zhang Fan, Wang Xiaoqi and others quickly took the wounded to sneak southtoward. Under Zhang Fan’s lead, they erased the traces they passed and disappeared deep in the forest in a blink of an eye.

Only Ding Hao and Cao Yu were left.

Ding Hao gave Cao Ke a smile.

“What’s wrong with… you?” Cao Ke felt creepy and couldn’t help but step back and scream to run away.

“Coward!” Ding Hao sneered. His body flashed and he instantly caught up with Cao Ke. When his palm was shot in the back of Cao Ke, this coward fainted without saying a word.

Ding Hao lifted him, and quickly flew away eastward.

After running for about three or four kilometers, Ding Hao found a hidden place. He took out a standard robe of the nominal disciples of Tranquility Academy from the bag behind him, which was just the one peeled from that dead disciple of Tranquility Academy.

Ding Hao quickly took off his clothes and armor and got himself several cuts with his sword.

Then he put his clothes as well as his Sect Pass and rusted sword into a hidden tree hole and put on the robe of Tranquility Academy. Carrying the bloody long saber, he carefully dressed up and lifted the fainted Cao Ke to rush eastward.

After 15 minutes, Ding Hao suddenly felt a mysterious Qi, screamed a few times, and the sound spread far away. Then he made a continuous move with ice and snow Qi, cut down several big trees, and left traces with burning flame Qi of middle dantian.

“Well, in this way, those guys who are chasing should have already discovered something.”

Ding Hao smiled and continued to rush eastward.

Ding Hao stood up, not because he wanted to act like a hero. If he didn’t take action, they would die altogether when the enemy came after. So the only choice for him was to try his best to get rid of the enemy without extra people. Only in this way could either Ding Hao or other people survive.

He completely let go of his own power like a giant ape and rushed between the branches quickly.

Every 15 minutes he ran, Ding Hao would repeat his skills, with ice and snow Qi, creating the illusion of bitter fighting in the forest in a huge momentum. And then he continued to rush forward.

Ding Hao’s choice of position was also often erratic, which made the chasers a great difficulty.

After about two hours, a sound of a superior breaking through the space at a high speed came from the sky. The power of two singular strengths, like the collapse of mountains, rolled over towards him.

It was time.

Ding Hao stopped and took a deep breath, clearheaded as never before.

He set aside the unconscious Cao Ke, and then switched between the two kinds of Qi, fire and ice, to cause some traces of bitter fighting.

Then, he took Cao Ke’s long sword and began to draw several bloody cuts on his body.

“Well, the power of the first turn Skin Golden Body of Ice and Fire Nine Turns Golden Body is indeed overbearing. It must take a lot of effort to cut the wounds on the body with such a sharp sword…”

Ding Hao used his sword to self-mutilate and talked to himself smilingly.

Someone who saw this would think Ding Hao had gone crazy.

Coincidentally, the fainted Cao Ke finally woke up and he saw Ding Hao’s frightful face. He suddenly felt a shiver, and he shouted scaredly, “Ding Hao… Ding… Senior Brother Ding… You… What are you doing?”

Ding Hao grinned and showed his white teeth. “Hehe, what do you think I’m doing?” asked him.

Seeing Ding Hao’s smile, Cao Ke was not relieved at all. Instead, he felt like the devil was greeted with him and became even more afraid. “Senior Bother Ding, it was all my fault. You should not lower you to my level. I am a coward and useless…” said Cao Ke.

“Hehe, don’t be so humble. Who says that you are useless! Trust me! You are very useful.” Ding Hao still smiled coldly and then threw his bloody long sword away.

Cao Ke subconsciously took over the long sword in his hand and felt a little relaxed. “Thank you, Senior Brother Ding. Thank you for your generosity,” said Cao Ke.

“Generosity?” Ding Hao interrupted him. The smile on his face suddenly grew cold. “It is true that I am very tolerant to my friends. But for the enemy, I’m not only vengeful but also merciless. Useless People like you is unworthy to be the disciple of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. From your eyes, I see malice and resentment. You must be thinking to find an opportunity to revenge on us when you’re back to Swordsmanship-seeking Sect? Unfortunately, I will not allow it!”

“I… You…” Cao Ke suddenly felt something wrong and turned to flee.

“Haha, you villain! Where do you want to escape? I will kill you to avenge for my Senior Brother Mu!”

Ding Hao stood up, deliberately shouted with his sound stretching far away. As his body moved like a flash, he instantly caught up with the scared Cao Ke. A ruthless, bloody long sword like a giant ax split toward the ungrateful coward into two pieces.

Blood sprayed him.

Then, the huge howl and pressure behind the roaring sky came over him in split second.

As the hurricane roared, Ding Hao felt a bit heavy and indescribable huge coercion, like a giant mountain, pressed on his own body.

“Hey, kid! Who are you?” A hoarse voice like a poisonous snake’s was heard behind.
