Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 678 Gu Qingyu

Those martial artists in mourning clothes, whose hearts were full of hatred, felt desperate.

The strength of their enemy was so impressive that it was simply beyond the limits of their imagination. Moreover, he was so young and peerless. It seemed that there was no hope for them to take revenge on him in this life.

Meantime, they were a little confused.

With Ding Hao’s terrible strength, why would he kill innocent people? Did he kill people to silence them, just as the people of the Miaoyu Bordello said?

Luo Xiangcai, who had just woken up, opened his eyes and saw this scene. The curses he planned to utter were instantly swallowed.

He was one of the most excellent successors of the God-slaying Sect. But at this moment, the scene of the five figures falling like kites with broken strings made his pride and superiority disappear without a trace like a thin layer of snow under the burning sun. Compared with the nearly shameful way of defeat of these five people, he seemed to be a bit lucky.

He had thought that he would become a disgrace.

But now, there was someone else who ended up worse than he did.

From today on, even if there were people talking about the battle of the Yellow Crane Tower tonight, the most popular topic would inevitably be the world-shocking sword stroke that defeated the five talents. With this scene as a foil, his magical skill—Great God-slaying Handprint—being smashed could be regarded as a very normal battle record.

Luo Xiangcai looked at Ding Hao again, but his eyes were full of unmasked horror and awe.

Thinking about his previous provocation and sarcasm, he felt that it was already a blessing for him to be able to survive under Ding Hao’s sword. Losing to such an opponent was not at all unfair to him.

“Ding Hao is so young, but his strength is so terrifying. The rusted sword in his hand seems to be broken, but it is absolutely extraordinary. The moment he wielded the sword, there was faint supreme power. Such a person is definitely out of the ordinary. Could it be… could it be that he is the successor of the force that is second to none in the Northern Region?”

Luo Xiangcai shivered as a terrifying possibility suddenly occurred to him with hindsight.

All of a sudden, he was so scared that his face turned pale, and he couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. After thinking it over and over again, he felt that it was highly likely to be true. In the whole Northern Region, it seemed that only that force could cultivate such a handsome young genius.

If he was really the successor of that force, he would really get into big trouble today.

“I really shouldn’t have blindly listened to Moonlight Fairy’s words and sneaked out of the God-slaying Sect to make trouble for Ding Hao here. Now it seems that what I said before is simply digging my own grave. If it is heard by the upper management of that force, the whole God-slaying Sect may be in great trouble.”

Thinking of this, Luo Xiangcai couldn’t help looking at Moonlight Fairy in the sky.

At a glance, he found that in the sky, Moonlight Fairy, who had been extremely calm, had been affected by the remnant power of Ding Hao’s sword stroke. The silver Chaotic Mist around her body had completely dissipated, revealing a beautiful and perfect face, which was as delicate as fine white jade. Her face was full of horror and astonishment.

She had long fled far away with a look of horror on her face, as if she was ready to escape at any time.

For some reason, the moment he saw the flawless face, the resentment in Luo Xiangcai’s heart dissipated. Suddenly, he couldn’t help but have an impulse to die for this woman…

However, only Moonlight Fairy herself knew that the shock and horror in her heart were obviously far more serious than the expression on her face.

The moment the sword struck out, Moonlight Fairy already knew that she was wrong.

She really made a very wrong decision. The trump card of the young man in front of her was far beyond her most pessimistic prediction. She had to admit that Ding Hao really had the capital to break the situation violently. Choosing him as the starting point of the long-prepared plan now seemed like an unwise decision.

The plan had to be changed!

It had to be changed immediately.

Initially, she thought that Golden Cicada came from the Great Leiyin Monastery, and the force behind him was too horrible, making him someone that she could not meddle with for the time being. That was why she chose Ding Hao. She had thought that he was a pushover. Never had she expected to provoke someone this powerful. If she could have the chance to make the choice again, she would rather choose Golden Cicada than provoke Ding Hao.

However, there was no turning back.

In the midst of her remorse, Moonlight Fairy knew that her mistake was irrevocable. For the plan, the only thing she could do now was make the best of the mistake. Fortunately, there was another person who would appear today and solve all this.

“Who else?”

Ding Hao slowly landed on the top of the Yellow Crane Tower and looked around.

The two simple words came out of his mouth, carrying a kind of breathtaking power.

Even those martial artists, who were full of hatred, did not dare to look at the cyan-robed young man in the eye at the moment. When he stood there, he was like a mountain that could not be reached. He was the ultimate image of the martial artists of the younger generation.

Not long ago, many people were sure that today, no matter what, all the martial artists gathered on the Divine Central Continent could defeat this devil. But at this moment, everyone had given up the plan of hunting him down, because this young man was simply an invincible being.

“If I want to kill someone, I must do it above board. Why do I need to hide it?” Ding Hao said word by word.

No one around dared to make a sound.

Many people gradually began to believe him.

Indeed, there was no reason for a genius martial artist with such a high level of strength to slaughter those weak ones.

If Ding Hao had denied it before, he would have definitely been accused of arguing. But now, his words were convincing.

In this cold world pursuing the law of the jungle, strength was the only basis for the final decision of right or wrong.

Ding Hao showed his impressive strength. In front of countless people, he alone defeated the most powerful masters gathered on the Divine Central Continent within a radius of millions of miles. Such a glorious and prominent achievement clearly showed that as long as he wanted, he could turn the area within a radius of a million miles into a land of death.

Even the successors of the major super forces were no match for him.

Since Ding Hao dared to kill and injure the successors of the major super forces seriously in front of so many people, it meant that he had nothing to worry about. He was not afraid of the revenge and pursuit of the super forces. For such a madman, killing hundreds or thousands of ordinary martial arts masters was as simple as stepping on a bunch of ants.

If he really killed those people, there was no need to deny it because he was not afraid of any revenge.

To put it more bluntly, although the people who died before were somewhat famous in their province or region, they were not worthy of being the opponent of a super genius like Ding Hao. For example, would a condescending golden dragon be so bored that it would hunt down a few ants and flies?

Strength determined one’s realm.

And the realm determined the opponent.

In this world where the strong were respected, everything was so simple.

Therefore, at this moment, when Ding Hao said such words, many people unanimously felt that this was indeed the case, and they no longer had their previous doubts.

“Then who exactly killed them?” someone shouted from below.

Ding Hao laughed, but he didn’t say anything.

His laughter was full of disdain and mockery.

The person who asked this lowered his head and looked ashamed. Indeed, no matter who killed the dead masters of the Central Region, it had nothing to do with the young man in cyan. It was already shameful for martial artists of the Divine Central Continent to wrong him. Were they going to expect him to help them chase the murderer and take revenge?

Those who were full of hatred because of the death of their kin and teachers gradually woke up from anger and hatred at this moment. When reason gained the upper hand in their mind, they began to think about what was going on and if they had really been used by some people with ulterior motives.

Right at this moment…

“Even if they didn’t die in your hands, you’re still involved.”

A voice as majestic as a king’s suddenly sounded in the void, and then ripples appeared in the dark-blue night sky. A tall, strong figure stepped out and appeared in the sky as the image of ripples disappeared.

With the appearance of this person, Ding Hao suddenly felt that the sky dimmed, unsure if it was an illusion.

This type of dimness wasn’t due to the weakening of light, but rather because of the suppression of psychology and aura.

Ding Hao’s pupils suddenly shrank, and his heart trembled.

“An expert!”

This burly figure who had suddenly appeared was a true, absolute expert.

Compared with the successors of the major sects such as Luo Xiangcai, this person’s strength was absolutely countless times stronger. There was no flame flashing around him, nor were there any vortex or distorted light. He just stood there quietly, and this alone put great pressure on Ding Hao.

Since Ding Hao’s debut, he had never met such a strong person.

“Who is this person?”

Ding Hao bit a top-grade Qi-restoring Pill under the tip of his tongue. The efficacy turned into a heat flow that spread all over his limbs and bones. In his meridian channel, the Hell Ice Qi that was almost sucked dry by the rusted sword finally recovered by 20 to 30 percent. He was holding a highest-grade purple mysterious crystal in his palm, which was constantly sending pure Spiritual Qi to him.

In his current state, it was impossible for him to activate the forbidden supreme power of the rusted sword again.

However, though the Hell Ice Qi in the Twelve Meridians was not enough, the Heaven Fire Qi in the Middle Dantian of the Six Strange Veins was sufficient. It was at its peak and could activate the devil saber once. Therefore, Ding Hao was not afraid of this strong enemy who suddenly appeared.

On the other side…

Moonlight Fairy, who had been looking embarrassed all this time, finally revealed a hint of joy when she saw this person show up.

Nonetheless, she did not dare to approach him. Instead, she bowed carefully and said, “I, Moonlight, pay respects to you, Commander Gu.”

The burly, tall man snorted and did not look at her. Instead, he turned his eyes to Ding Hao. His pupils were like two deep pools. They were dark and deep, with trajectories of stars, the sun, and the moon moving and changing inside, as if they could devour everything.

Ding Hao frantically activated the Mind Essential.

In an instant, his powerful Divine Senses burst forth and spread out in the void like a transparent wave of air. Only then did he manage to block the terrifying light from his eyes.
