Supreme Emperor of Swords

He defeated a big demon at the Demon Royal Realm in an instant. Such strength was too shocking, and he was strong enough to be selected as one of the top superiors within the Highest Heaven. Ding Hao’s powerful performance suddenly shocked all those that were fiercely fighting in the surrounding chaotic battlefield.

They all looked up at Ding Hao’s overbearing beast incarnation!

Gasps were heard all around.

In particular, the strong fighters of the Demon Clan in the Demon Valley were so frightened that they retreated as quickly as possible. They were unwilling to face Ding Hao again.

That supreme master was the strongest person in the Demon Valley. He was also the person in charge of entering the Sage Battlefield and enjoyed a high prestige. His defeat was like the collapse of faith, causing the morale of all masters in the Demon Valley to fall down in an instant. No great demons would think that they could save face in the name of the Demon Valley by fighting with Ding Hao.

Everyone’s ears registered the strong killing intent in the words said by Ding Hao.

That time, no one dared to look down upon him.

Wherever the pair of scarlet eyes passed, the masters attacking the disciples of the Tianning Dynasty—from both the Demon Clan and the Human Clan—stopped one after another. Some people had already begun to slowly retreat. No one wanted to be an enemy of a master such as Ding Hao. The enormous and majestic body of the Baleful Devil White Ape stood out between heaven and earth, tall and unapproachable, giving people an irresistible feeling of suffocation.

The surrounding masters were stunned at that moment.

Half an hour later.

“Jie Jie, no matter how strong you are, you are only one person. The overall situation is final. How can you go against the natural order?” said Ling Shixiong, the Senior Martial Brother of the Black Evil Sect. He stepped forward and added with a strange smile, “Little guy, leave this place at once if you want to live. Don’t die for that piece of the map. I have never heard of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect before; it’s just a remote small sect in the border area. Do you want to compete with us, the almighty sect?”

Ding Hao remained silent.

The Moon-Cutting Sabre was raised gently.

The blade pointed directly at Ling Shixiong.

It was full of killing intent!

“Yixin, isn’t this the chance for you to take revenge?” Ling Shixiong smiled insidiously.

Beside him, Pan Yixin—whose leg was broken by the ban of the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower a dozen days before—slowly rushed out of the crowd. His whole body was covered with black flame. He stared at Ding Hao with a somewhat fierce expression due to his pent up hatred.

Although he had been a strong master at the Martial Royal Realm for a long time, with extraordinary vitality and recovery abilities, the bans of the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower were terrifying; his broken leg could not grow anymore after all. However, he currently had a magical weapon that served as a prosthetic leg, made of dark fine steel. It was so real that it could go unnoticed by others, and it had many killing moves. Thanks to that, his strength had actually increased.

“Ding Hao, I told you that we would meet again. Today I will help you realize how much of a small fry with good luck you are, while I’m the real strong one!”

After that, Pan Yixin’s momentum began to rise wildly.

He wanted to tear his opponent into pieces to vent the hatred in his heart.

The corners of Ding Hao’s mouth formed a disdainful arc.

The giant Heaven Sword appeared magically. On the other hand, the sabre and sword struck out at the same time. The power of the Saintly Being of Saber and Sword gradually emerged at that moment. The breath of the Baleful Devil White Ape’s body suddenly changed. The coldness on the right side and the heat on the left side were completely different Qi restraining each other, producing a strange change.

In the next moment, Pan Yixin made his move.

His weapon was a spear.

It seemed that it was a simple fighting spear that had been fished out of a blood pool. With the spear gently waving, millions of screams of demons could be heard, which was soul-stirring. The spear trembled automatically, and strange inscriptions flowed with the smell of blood. Countless people or evil spirits were faintly howling in the dark fog.

“Boy, go to hell! F*ck Spear of Black Soul!”

Pan Yixin shouted with his body changing magically from left to right. He turned into an illusion and suddenly approached Ding Hao. He struck with his spear, pointing at Ding Hao’s heart.

Ding Hao stood still.

However, the shadow and the spear which were originally aimed at Ding Hao’s heart disappeared completely in the next moment. With a slight sound in the air, they magically appeared next to the throat of the Baleful Devil White Ape, which was Ding Hao’s current shape.

As the spear moved, wolf-like howls and ghost wails were heard!

That was his real killing move!

Ding Hao finally moved.

The giant Supreme Evil Sword shook, and a row of sword light and sword intent were emitted.

Wham!

Pan Yixin had the terrible illusion of being embraced by the God of Death. An unstoppable aura moved closer to him; his skin was already in pain even before it made contact, as if he had been split in two. He was so frightened that he retreated in a hurry. However, he felt that his hands were lighter and the strange fighting spear was cut into two halves by Ding Hao’s sword.

The danger was not over yet.

The endless sword light and sword intent erupted.

What Ding Hao used was the Heaven Calamity Sword Skill from the Shadow-like Sword Style in the first floor of the Sword Tower, which was most suitable for hunting. When driven by the sword intent, Ding Hao only felt that the sky was full of hazy sword light. Layers of space were cut apart and scattered like broken glass. Pan Yixin was about to be crushed by this…

Pan Yixin was terrified.

“How could it happen? He is obviously only at the Great Grandmaster Realm. How could he display such a terrible combat capability?”

The shadow of failure was inexplicably manifested in his mind.

“Senior Martial Brother Pan, be careful. You can’t take that head-on… It’s a profound sword intent!”

Someone shouted.

A beam of flowing light shot out from the other side of the crowd.

It was a young man with a beardless and sickly white face, a skinny constitution and a thin-gold face; he was holding a pair of giant Judge’s Pens in his hands. He shouted, “Ding Hao, don’t be arrogant. The map of the mysterious ruins should belong to people with morality. The Tianning Dynasty is a small force, and you are only a rising person. What qualifications do you have to own the map? This map is related to the life and death of the Human Clan for thousands of years, how dare you involve yourself in this matter? Leave quickly and we’ll spare your life. Otherwise, I, Yuchi Jin, will clean up the bad guys on behalf of the Human Clan along with Senior Martial Brother Pan of the Black Evil Sect today!”

“What a high-sounding and shameless person!”

From the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion came the angry curse of the Senior Martial Brother from the Three Emperors of Ning Province.

“Yuchi Jin, you are a man without faith. You are not a good man. We treated you with sincerity, but you betrayed our Tianning Dynasty and led the people of the Black Evil Sect to attack us… If you want to get the map, come to get it by yourself. You are really hypocritical, trying to pressure us with stupid nonsense that only deceives children!”

The Third Young Martial Brother of the Tianning Dynasty was full of anger.

“Haha, you’re dying. You’re so stubborn! I’ll kill you three bugs after I kill Ding Hao!” Yuchi Jin didn’t change his expression while he laughed loudly. With a flash, he pointed at Ding Hao with his Judge’s Pen weapon.

A golden light burst out from the pen tip in the void and shot toward the Baleful Devil White Ape.

Ding Hao knew Yuchi Jin.

The person claimed to be a disciple of the Love Swordsmanship Sect, one of the third-level sects in Sword Province. He had visited the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower more than a dozen days prior. He had behaved very enthusiastically and warmly, sharing his thoughts about the Way of Swordsmanship with Ding Hao. Then, in the name of visiting, he wanted to enter the Sword Tower to observe the ancient sword fighting skills. At that time, Ding Hao’s seventh sense told him that the person was not pure-minded and only talked loudly. He was too scheming and his evil temperament was seen through, so Ding Hao rejected his request.

The man had left resentfully that day.

Yuchi Jin clearly bore a grudge against Ding Hao. Just then, he jumped out to attack Ding Hao!

Ding Hao snorted and made a move to deflect the golden light with his saber.

Unexpectedly, the golden light was extremely weird. It behaved like silk so it wasn’t cut off; instead, it became very soft. Like a line of water, it fell on the Cutting-Moon Sabre and entangled it after wrapping it up in circles.

Yuchi Jin pulled back the light and trapped the Moon-Cutting Sabre in Ding Hao’s hands.

Pan Yixin sneered and attacked Ding Hao again.

With the spear waving, countless screams of vengeful souls could be heard, as if they were about to tear people’s eardrums.

“Shameless! Both of you are masters who have been famous for a long time. How can you be so despicable, fighting two against one!”

The Three Emperors of Green Province were trapped in the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion and could not get away. They watched the two powerful Martial Royal Realm masters attacked Ding Hao at the same time. They were extremely anxious; Ding Hao was their last hope. They would need to completely give up their plan if he was defeated. Maybe they would be in danger of being killed!

Yuchi Jin and Pan Yixin simply sneered. They continued to attack Ding Hao without paying any attention to them.

The long saber in Ding Hao’s left hand was entangled, but he kept cutting with the Supreme Evil Sword in his right hand. Dozens of ancient sword techniques were displayed, and the continuous sword moves broke out in the air. He stood still with rows of sword radiance piercing the void. The sword contained the indestructible sword intent. For a moment, the two masters could not gain the upper hand.

Time ticked by.

Those two masters were unable to completely suppress Ding Hao.

“We shouldn’t waste any more time. Let’s end this as soon as possible!”

The senior brother of the Black Evil Sect, Ling Shixiong, was watching the battle from the side with a fierce glint in his eyes.

“Ding Hao is already this terrible at the Great Grandmaster Realm, and obviously has great luck. He accidentally reclaimed the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower, a forbidden land. With his talent and luck, he will definitely become a peerless genius in the future. Since our Black Evil Sect has already established a deep set enmity with him, it would be impossible for us to resolve it. It is better to kill him in advance to avoid future troubles!”

Thinking about this, he quietly turned his palm downward.

A subtle and terrifying force silently gathered in his palm.

In the next moment—

Swoosh!

A hint of sternness passed by Ling Shixiong’s face. He flashed and found an opportunity to launch a sudden attack at Ding Hao. A deadly black light column shot out of his palm and rushed toward Ding Hao’s back, who was already fighting fiercely with two masters at the Martial Royal Realm.

“A sneak attack!”

“With his status and strength, how could he launch an underhanded attack at Ding Hao?”

It could be seen how much fear and thirst to kill he had got for Ding Hao.

Cries of surprise could be heard from all directions.

No one expected that Ling Shixiong would be so shameless.

It was obviously too late to warn Ding Hao.

Some people subconsciously lamented about how such a stunning genius had shocked the Highest Heaven at such a young age, attracting everyone’s attention. He could fight against strong warriors at the Martial Royal Realm while he was a Great Grandmaster. As long as such a genius could survive in the Sage Battlefield, he would definitely be one of the Northern Region’s candidates to reach the peak of Martial Arts in the future. Alas, he would be killed.

A genius was about to be killed.

The Three Emperors of Green Province were filled with despair.

“Senior Martial Brother Ding…” Zhang Fan, who had killed several big demons in the distance, was extremely angry and wild. He rushed toward Ding Hao like a cannonball, but it was too late.

“Boom!”

The violent explosion of force came as expected.

But…

The imagined scene where flesh and blood was seen flying in all directions and the Baleful Devil White Ape vomited blood and fell backwards did not happen.

The White Ape was still standing steadily in the same place. The deadly black light that Ling Shixiong shot out was blocked by a pair of giant white saber and sword that suddenly appeared to cover Ding Hao at the critical moment!

That was…

Yuchi Jin’s golden light was still wrapping the giant Moon-Cutting Sabre.

Pan Yixin’s fighting spear and the giant Supreme Evil Sword were entangled.

There was no chance for Ding Hao to use his two hands.

That pair of sword and sabre that had saved Ding Hao came from…

At that moment, everyone was stunned to see that a pair of arms had grown out of the back of the huge white monster ape, holding a huge white saber and a long sword. That was not the end… another head, exactly similar to the monster ape’s head had grown out at some time from its neck!

“Is the monster double-headed and four-armed?”

“No!”

“Hahaha, demons and evils, contemptible scoundrels, sneaky and malicious. I’ve long known that all of you are not good people. Ling Shixiong, Pan Yixin and Yuchi Jin, you are three clowns of the Human Clan. If you want to fight against me, just fight together openly. Let’s see who has the right to own that piece of the map!”

The Baleful Devil White Ape incarnated by Ding Hao raised its head and laughed wildly.

The two heads and two mouths said the same words almost at the same time.

Their voices were like a rolling thunder, which shook the void so hard that hurricanes emerged one after another.

In the next moment…

It could be seen with the naked eye that the white giant ape had grown another pair of arms. With a flashing light, another giant pair of sword and sabre appeared in the new hands. The inscriptions were flashing, the Sword Qi was everywhere, and the aura was directly doubled!

“Three heads and six arms!”

“That’s the real powerful monster with three heads and six arms!”

It was the first time Ding Hao used that rare magical power!

The six magic weapons, Cutting-Moon, Tian Que, Supreme Evil, Pinning-Love, Vast Desert and Silver Hook all came out at the same time.

The six giant weapons were simple but ferocious.

They had been refined using the bone sticks of the three-headed and six-armed ape and the horns of the Heaven-Sword Cow Monster as raw materials by Ding Hao; that was the first time for all of them to show up in the world. The huge white blades were shining with mysterious natural inscriptions. The silver frost Hell Qi and the golden Heaven Fire Qi like the sunlight were diffused on the six giant weapons. Like a divine power, together with the violent aura of the Baleful Devil White Ape, the white giant animal looked as horrible as a war monster!

Everyone was stunned!

Nobody had expected that the situation would turn out to be like that!

At the moment when the transformation was completed, Ding Hao launched the most powerful counterattack.

His giant body, which was as large as a mountain, suddenly blurred and shattered like a reflection in the water. Only the long saber of Moon Cutting, which was entangled by Yuchi Jin’s golden light, stopped in the void and completely lost the aura of the Baleful Devil White Ape with three heads and six arms on the spot.

While everyone wondered where he had gone, a white brilliance flashed, and Ding Hao suddenly appeared in front of Ling Shixiong.

The hundred-meter distance between them was shortened in just a moment.

The long swords Supreme Evil and Vast Desert were full of dense sword Qi, dreamy and illusory. They sprinkled endless sword light everywhere, almost blocking all the escape routes and covering Ling Shixiong.

If you wanted to kill someone, you had to shoot at his horse first. If you wanted to capture thieves, you had to capture their head first!

Ling Shixiong was the truly threatening opponent. His strength was far greater than Pan Yixin and Yuchi Jin’s. Ding Hao would he be able to remain undefeated only after Ling Shixiong was killed. If he had been entangled by Pan Yixin and Yuchi Jin while Ling Shixiong launched a sneak attack on one side, then Ding Hao would have really been in danger!

“You’re courting death!” Ling Shixiong was slightly shocked, but then he flew into a rage.

“This damn boy dares to attack me first. Does he think that he can defeat me easily?”

The thought of being despised instantly angered him; dozens of inky light balls gushed out from Ling Shixiong’s body.

They seemed to have no substance, but in fact, they were filled with enough power to distort the void. The color of the energy balls was extremely black, as if they had the endless darkness of ancient times. The area at the edge of the energy balls was distorted, and the space wall gave out a trembling sound. It looked like something incredible was going to break out of them!

Ling Shixiong was stirred.

Dozens of ink-colored energy balls fluttered wildly, leaving black shadows in front of him, covering his whole body. Through the ink shield with endless back force constantly moving stars at high speed, the terrible power of sword intent from the great blades of Heaven and Vast Desert was scattered to every part of the shield in an instant. They transferred the power and actually blocked the force of the two swords faintly.

All his face was suddenly filled with black gas; almost all his facial features had disappeared.

The palms were clasped in front of his chest like a mountain, and an ink-colored light spot, which seemed to have condensed the most terrifying darkness since ancient times, was quickly forming. All the aura and killing intent were concentrated on that point. Once it broke out, it would be powerful enough to swallow up and destroy a huge city in an instant.

That was the Dark Devil Devourmen, one of the most powerful unique skills of the Black Evil Sect.

Its horrible point was that it could store all the attacks and power in the dozens of magic balls outside in the inky light spot. The more horrible the opponent’s attack was, the more powerful the counterattack would become!

Just after a deep breath, the magic ball in Ling Shixiong’s hands had been compressed to the size of an incense stick.

Just as he was about to launch the most terrifying counterattack, the pressure of the sword intent in front of him suddenly disappeared.

The shadow cast by Ding Hao’s incarnation, the huge body of the Baleful Devil White Ape, had disappeared without him noticing.

The crowd’s exclamation was heard.

Ling Shixiong looked up.

His face had been swallowed up by the black shadow; only a pair of aquamarine pupils and white jagged teeth could be seen clearly. Ling Shixiong saw that in the void about a hundred meters in front of him, four sun-like light balls appeared. The demon Qi was rolling, releasing endless mist, completely enveloping the space within a radius of twenty meters.

The mist rolled over and over like boiling water.

No one could see clearly what kind of horrible existence was contained in the mist.

The massive body of the Baleful Devil White Ape, along with Pan Yixin’s and Yuchi Jin’s figures, had already disappeared. Ling Shi Xiong assumed that they were all inside the fog. However, the situation was a little weird. The White Ape was extremely large, so how could that small fog with a radius of sixty to seventy feet be able to contain it?

“Damn it, I was fooled… It turns out that Ding Hao is just pretending to be powerful. The first person he wants to deal with is not me, but Senior Martial Brother Pan and Yuchi Jin!”

Ling Shixiong suddenly realized that he had been fooled.

However, he didn’t attack the cloud of mist at first.

If he did that, he would hurt his own people.

After thinking for a moment, a trace of determination emerged on Ling Shixiong’s face. He ran his magic skills, and the black light of the energy ball appeared again, surrounding him. Turning into flowing light, Ling Shixiong rushed into the fog like a shrine!

“Whoosh!”

Almost in the next moment, he rushed out from the other side of the boiling mist.

It seemed to be just an ordinary cloud of smoke, with nothing inside. It couldn’t bear any pressure. It was as if the Baleful Devil White Ape, Pan Yixin and Yuchi Jin didn’t exist.

Ling Shixiong felt shocked, and a thought came to his mind.

“A small world!”

The cloud of fog turned out to be a Small World Formation!

The moment that idea came out of his mind, Ling Shixiong knew that they were in trouble. With the existence of a small world, Ding Hao was invincible whenever he advanced or retreated. It was impossible to kill the rising genius if he took advantage of more people.

How could a hillbilly from a remote and backward place master that kind of high-level inscription formation?

Ling Shixiong couldn’t work it out even if he died.

He was thinking quickly about how to break the small world’s formation, but he quickly gave it up.

Because he had to admit with a pale and powerless manner that it wasn’t his forte. What the entire Black Evil Sect pursued was powerful attacks and hidden assassination methods. Only a few elders were proficient in inscription formations, but they weren’t present at the moment.

At that moment—

The boiling fog, which seemed to breed a monster, finally broke into pieces with a loud bang.

The massive Baleful Devil White Ape appeared once again, covering the light in the sky and leaving a large shadow on the ground. The four bright-red balls of demonic Qi in the sky turned into streamers and sank into the giant palm of the Baleful Devil White Ape, disappearing in a flash.

Ling Shixiong’s pupils suddenly shrank.

His eyes were fixed on the other hand of the Baleful Devil White Ape incarnated by Ding Hao.

He saw two bodies.

They were Yuchi Jin and Pan Yixin covered in blood!

Like dead dogs, they lay on the hard steel palms with no vitality. Ding Hao turned over his palm lightly and the two bodies fell directly to the ground, leaving two deep pits on the ground with a booming sound. For strong men at the Martial Royal Realm, even if they had died, the toughness of their bodies could be comparable to gold and stone!

The loud crash seemed to sound in everyone’s hearts, making them shudder with fear.

“Were they killed… killed?!”

“Are they really dead?!”

“In less than 15 minutes, two masters in the Martial Royal Realm were killed?”

Although Pan Yixin and Yuchi Jin had only just reached that stage and were only at a low level, they could still be considered martial artists of the Martial Royal Realm. They had a thousand-year lifespan. Unless their hearts or brains were shattered, they would be able to regenerate even after being dismembered. Their vitality was comparable to that of the Great Demonic Dragon. Yet, they had been killed in less than ten minutes.

“What exactly happened in that small world fog?”

“What trump cards does Ding Hao have in his hands?”

No one knew.

However, everyone knew that from that moment on, they could no longer treat the young man in front of them as a lucky kid who accidentally reclaimed the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower. Even if he was extremely lucky, it was impossible for him to win so thoroughly when he was facing two masters of the Martial Royal Realm head-on!

That was no longer something that could be explained by luck.

It all came down to strength!

From that moment on, the young man had truly stepped into the ranks of the strongest in the large city of the Highest Heaven!

It was not a fake reputation that was gained due to reclaiming the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower. Instead, Ding Hao gained the prestige and status with saber and sword little by little; the two masters of the Martial Royal Realm had become his stepping stones. When a new king ascended the throne, his feet were covered with blood and fire. That was an existence that could not be provoked. At the moment, he officially established his status!

Ling Shixiong sighed with regret.

At that moment, he clearly knew that Ding Hao’s reputation had been established. If he wanted to kill the genius, it would already be impossible for him to do so by only relying on his own strength. He thought that Ding Hao had also paid a great price as he killed two masters of the Martial Royal Realm in 15 minutes!

“What a cruel heart you have. Ding Hao, they are the elite martial artists of the Human Clan… how could you kill them so cruelly!” Ling Shixiong was filled with righteous indignation. “You’re nothing but a butcher who kills his fellow clan members!”

“The elite warriors? They? If I fall into your hands, will you let me free? If you kill me, you will feel at ease. If I kill you, would I be killing someone of the same clan?” Ding Hao sneered disdainfully.

“We just wanted to capture you… We just wanted to teach you a lesson since you didn’t respect the hierarchy. We didn’t want to kill anyone from the beginning!” Ling Shixiong sneered and said loudly.

“Oh, really? It turns out that you are so kind… But, hehe, even if I killed them, what can you do to me now? If you don’t admit your defeat, let’s fight! If I meet anyone like those scums, I won’t spare them!”

The Baleful Devil White Ape incarnated by Ding Hao stood between heaven and earth.

He still maintained a three-headed and six-armed shape. His voice came out from his three mouths at the same time, as if thunder were rolling in the sky. His fierce momentum shocked some weak martial artists of the Demon Clan and the Human Clan around him, making them retreat with a pale face.

Ling Shixiong was slightly stunned.

He had not expected that Ding Hao would be overbearing to a degree that he would be to too lazy to argue with him.

“You…” Ling Shixiong didn’t know what to say. Both hard and soft methods failed. When he met an opponent that was as strong and stinky as a stone, his fail-safe insidious means didn’t work at all because the other party didn’t care about it.

“Not only did I killed them, I also want to kill you!” The six giant sabers in Ding Hao’s hands reflected cold light in the sun. They all pointed to Ling Shixiong. Ding Hao said with a strong killing intent, “You deserve to die, after colluding with the Demon Clan and besieging the Tianning Dynasty. A traitor from the Human Clan like you should not be able to own a piece of the map since you have neither virtue nor capability. I’ll kill you quickly if you hand over that piece of the map!”

“Nonsense! When did I collude with the Demon Clan…” Ling Shixiong was so angry that he foamed with rage.

Ding Hao, unexpectedly, had his eyes on that piece of the map in his hand. He was really arrogant and crazy. What he had said before, he returned it word for word. Ding Hao was clearly humiliating him and he was really angry!

“In the eyes of the public, you and the demons of Demon Valley besieged the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. Isn’t the fact evident? Do you want to deny it?” Ding Hao smiled disdainfully and said, “I said that you colluded with the demons and that is a fact. I don’t have much patience. Will you hand over the piece of the map or not? ”

“You’re courting death!” Ling Shixiong was fuming, since the trick he had used to deal with others was currently aimed at himself.

“Oh, if that’s the case, then you’ll die!”

Ding Hao drew his sword.

At that moment…

In the distance, the light of the formation flashed. Song Que and the others from the Blue Cloud Sect poured out like a tide. Under the leadership of She Buhui, they reached the Fifth Heaven through the transmission formation in the center. The head, Song Que, a fat man, sweated all over. He shouted loudly from a distance, “Whoever dares to hurt Ding Hao, I’ll fight him to the death…”

Some of them covered their eyes with their hands, and they frowned.

Well, the crazy fat man showed up.

The situation was completely chaotic.
