“Boom!”
In a hurry, Ling Shixiong blocked the blades of the sword and the sabre with both hands so that he was hit back.
His body slammed against a stone tower in the distance like a cannonball, and the whole stone tower collapsed in an instant. Broken stones rose to the sky with smoke and dust splashing everywhere.
Ding Hao’s incarnated form, the Baleful Devil White Ape, lifted his foot and stepped directly on the gravel pile.
“Boom!”
Ling Shixiong broke out of the soil and his face was full of anger. He avoided the stomp and shouted. The black brilliance formed a huge Magic Flame Throne behind him. The throne separated the void and the splendor was like tides. Endless black flowing light swept toward Ding Hao like a violent storm and launched a counterattack.
“The lotus in the sea rises for the rest of my life!”
Ding Hao looked solemn and dignified. He gently recited incantations, and the sword light of the Supreme Evil and the Silver Hook rose. Some sword light turned into endless tides with water vapor bursting and the sound of tides filling the sky. The other turned into endless lotuses. The white lotuses appeared, and the petals stretched out to form a sea of flowers. The sound of water spread over the lotus, like an eternal wall.
Those were the two sword skills Ding Hao learned on the first floor of the Sword Tower.
The Vast Sea Sword dominated the water element while the Lotus Sword dominated the wood element. Among all the powers of the five elements, the water power and the wood power were the two forces that were born together and developed together. Two elements were superimposed and their power increased sharply. Moreover, when Ding Hao cultivated the filth step of the Heart Essential, the Sky Fire and the Hell Ice Qi in his body could both be turned into the Qi of the five elements. Therefore, he could activate such a move in the blink of an eye.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The black flowing light struck the lotuses in the vast sea causing a lot of holes, like the rain hitting the beach, but they were all blocked.
It was like a battle between Immortals and Devils; the void was beautiful and full of illusions. Several masters in the Great Grandmaster Realm and the Martial King Realm were stunned. Many people witnessed for the first time how magnificent and horrifying the battles between masters in the Martial Royal Realm were.
Moments after, the inky light ball disappeared, and so did the lotus image in the sea.
Ding Hao’s figure was aggressive. The light of the saber and the sword was dazzling. The sword intent and the saber intent were long, silent, sharp and unpredictable. It seemed that countless stars suddenly fell from the void and approached Ling Shixiong from all directions.
Black flames burst from Ling Shixiong’s body.
Countless inky balls of light appeared and gathered around him at a high speed. Like light balls, they continued to absorb the power of the sabre and the sword.
“The Dark Devil Devourment!”
It was the second time that Ling Shixiong performed the most powerful skill of the Black Evil Sect. His face was completely covered with black light, and only a pair of emotionless dark green eyes and the saw-shaped and snow-white teeth were exposed. His body seemed to become an eternal black hole, constantly absorbing the power of the saber and the sword.
Ding Hao seemed not to have noticed his opponent’s moves, and with the saber and the sword in his hands he still continued cutting down.
It seemed that he wanted to cut the ink-colored halo before his opponent could accumulate the strength.
“Hehehe, hahaha… You will never know how strong a real super master is. Killing you…” Ling Shixiong laughed wildly. He felt that the energy accumulated in the ink-colored light ball had reached an extremely terrible level. He laughed wildly, and then the energy burst. The light ball that was rotating suddenly stopped as he was about to make a move…
“Let such a move completely end this absurd thing.”
“I’ll make this peerless genius, who may be a future threat to the stars of the Black Evil Sect, disappear forever!”
Ling Shixiong took his sword to make a move…
Just then, the sword light all over the sky on the opposite side disappeared. A light flashed through his heart, and a slight chill made his body involuntarily stiff. Ling Shixiong’s eyes showed an incredible despair. He slowly looked down, only to see that his chest had been cracked open, leaving a bowl-sized bloody hole…
“How… how could this be possible? How… how did you know?”
Ling Shixiong looked at Ding Hao in disbelief.
The most powerful skill of the Black Evil Sect, the Dark Devil Devourmen, was indeed a horrifying and perverted killing move. It was also one of the trump cards that the Black Evil Sect could use in the Northern Region. Although the process of storing up strength took a little longer, the attacker constantly absorbed the rival’s power and was strong enough to withstand any attack.
However, it only had one flaw—
There was a slight pause at the moment when the Dark Devil Devourmen was completed and a move was launched. In that short moment, the attacker’s sight and perception would be reduced to the extreme, isolating them from the outside world.
Ling Shixiong had used Dark Devil Devourmen technique countless times.
With his Martial Royal Realm strength, he could rely on his powerful aura to make up for the flaw when he took action. Most of the time, even if others discovered it, they would not be able to make use of it. However, that time…
Ding Hao not only discovered the flaw, but also made use of it in an instant.
“A fatal killing move!”
Ling Shixiong couldn’t figure out why Ding Hao had discovered his secret.
Gradually, he stared at Ding Hao blankly.
The Baleful Devil White Ape incarnated by Ding Hao gradually shrank. The silver needle-like hair retracted under his skin, and his body returned to the size of a normal person. Six giant sabers and swords fell from the sky and were neatly inserted into the ground. Ding Hao fell down and stepped on the hilt of the Supreme Evil Sword. He looked at Ling Shixiong and said lightly, “You forgot about it so quickly? You’ve already made this move before. Don’t use any move against me for a second time. Otherwise, it will lose its effect!”
Ling Shixiong felt bewildered and he was even more shocked.
“That’s right!”
When he cooperated with Pan Yixin and Yuchi Jin to besiege Ding Hao, he had indeed used the Dark Devil Devourmen once.
He had never dreamed that his one-time use of the most powerful unique skill would actually become his life-threatening charm.
Ding Hao, a young man of obscure origin, was too scary. His danger was above Ling Shixiong’s expectations. Was it true that he could find the flaws of any move with his first glance just as he had said? Wasn’t there no one in the world who could suppress him?
At the final moment of his life, Ling Shixiong faintly understood how Pan Yixin and Yuchi Jin were killed.
Moments after—
“Boom!”
The inky light ball wrapped around Ling Shixiong finally exploded.
Losing Ling Shixiong’s control, the ink-colored light became ownerless. The chaotic collision broke out like a nuclear bomb. The endless shock wave affected dozens of the nearby masters of the Black Evil Sect and the Demon Clan, instantly crushing them into powder and making them disappear. Dozens of stone towers, stone buildings, and various kinds of buildings around them were also scattered like particles, just as sand castles in hurricanes.
A super master of the Four-apertured Martial Royal Realm had died!
People watched as the mass of ink-colored splendor exploded in the void; the space barrier was directly shattered and a huge space gap appeared. Like the mouth of a giant beast, it swallowed up all the remaining energy waves, and then it was closed up by the power of laws. Everything disappeared, and Ling Shixiong’s body had turned into a blood fog by the explosion. People were still watching…
Only then did all the people return to their senses.
Only then did they dare to believe that what had happened was true.
When they looked at Ding Hao again… Ding Hao, a green-robed young boy, was standing on top of the white giant sword hilt of more than ten meters high, looking down at all the people around him like a king. No one dared to look directly at him, let alone make eye contact.
In just one day, he had killed three masters in the Martial Royal Realm!
In the surface, he was merely in the Two-apertured Great Grandmaster Realm.
“F*cking Two-apertures Great Grandmaster. This guy must be pretending to be weak. His real strength must have reached the Martial Royal Realm—at least the Martial Royal Realm. He is too bad. Is it interesting for a Two-apertured Great Grandmaster to pretend to be a rookie? Who has ever seen that a Two-apertured Great Master surpass two big realms to kill his opponent? He’s not a bloodline martial artist. So what if he is a Beast Transform?”
The martial artists, who were shocked and numb by the scene in front of them, suddenly became angry and envious.
“A Martial Royal killer!”
“The guy is definitely a Martial Royal killer!”
After a moment of silence—
“Let’s go!”
“Retreat!”
“Leave here as soon as possible!”
“In the future, no member of our clan can easily provoke this person!”
Almost at the same time, the approximate five demon forces that besieged the Tianning Dynasty and the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion retreated at once like the tide, not daring to stay any longer. At the moment, they no longer dared to ignore the malicious words that Ding Hao had said before. The strongest masters of the various Demon Clans were only at the Demon Royal Realm, and they were similar to Ling Shixiong. Since Ding Hao could kill him, he could also kill them!
Although they didn’t want to face that conclusion, they had to accept it as a fact.
At least in the current Sage Battlefield, no one seemed to be able to challenge the young swordsman of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect alone.
Some top masters of the Demon Clan were still thinking that they had to investigate thoroughly about the origin of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect when they got out of the Sage Battlefield. It was unexpected that an remote sect could cultivate such a shocking young swordsman!
In the blink of an eye, the masters of the Demon Clan who had besieged the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion all vanished.
The people of the Human Clan also retreated at the chance they had. Their leaders looked embarrassed and kept smiling bitterly. The day’s decision was a big mistake. They were incited by Ling Shixiong to attack the Three Emperors of Ning Province. They thought it was a piece of cake, but they didn’t expect that they would provoke such a devil!
They had to find a way to mend their relationship with Ding Hao.
“Haha, Little Ding, you’re so awesome. You’ve killed three masters of the Martial Royal Realm today. It will be hard for you to remain unknown. My heart is like ten thousand grass mud horses in oestrum running wildly… Damn it, I’m going to kneel before you!” Song Que approached Ding Hao, laughing excitedly. He jumped onto the sword hilt, looking at Ding Hao up and down like a monster.
Ding Hao frowned.
The fatty Song Que was indeed a crazy man. When he was bragging and chatting with Ding Hao a few days back, he unintentionally made some exclamations about earth from his previous life. He didn’t expect that this fatty would actually remember them. “However, Elder Brother, you are too weak to use the swords well. You’d better learn soon!”
