“If you still don’t retreat, I’ll kill you.”
Ding Hao released the Sword Intent, but he didn’t completely activate it. He held back a little. He didn’t want to offend this cruel clan. Instead, he rushed to the entrance of the cave in front of him, trying to seize the time to find the immortal medicine catalyst. Otherwise, other people would get it first.
“Damn it! Surround him, surround him! At all costs, we can’t let him enter the Minor Immortal Gate.” The leader of the Ceroman Clan roared angrily.
30 minutes ago, dozens of real masters of the Ceroman Clan went down under the ground to look for the Immortal Artifact. They could not allow this man from the Human Clan to ruin the plan.
The masters of the Ceroman Clan screamed madly, emitting vibrating force similar to ultrasonic waves. They rushed over from all directions, stirring the seawater. They had hindered Ding Hao.
“You dare!” Ding Hao was furious.
He had no enmity against the Sea Clan. Even though the Ceroman was an evil force of the chaotic camp in the seven seas, he didn’t kill them right off the bat. He didn’t want to start a feud with the Sea Clan, but he wasn’t afraid of anyone provoking him. If he let them get in his way, something important might be delayed. Without the immortal medicine catalyst, his mother’s injuries couldn’t be cured.
Thinking of this, Ding Hao attacked without mercy.
He fully released the Sword Intent of the Beginning of Spring in an instant.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Illusions such as the east wind, beetles, and ice cubes all turned into bright Sword Intent at this moment, attacking the Ceromen around. The Sword Light whistled and there seemed to be an inescapable net. Hundreds of masters of the Ceroman Clan had exploded and become blood mist and broken bones before they could even scream.
The originally deep blue seawater suddenly turned crimson.
Ding Hao’s movements were as fast as lightning, easily breaking through the blockade of the Ceroman Clan. Then he disappeared into the entrance of the distant cave in a flash.
“Chase him!” The face of the leader of the Ceroman Clan looked ferocious.
Like hornets, Ceromen madly chased toward the place where Ding Hao had disappeared.
However, in the next moment, a Sword Light shot out from the small cave and exploded in all directions. Then, in the Sea Boundary Formation, again the east wind whistled; beetles appeared; ice cubes collided. The only way in front of them had been completely blocked.
It was the Sword Intent of the Beginning of Spring.
The Ceromen came to a halt in terror.
This man from the Human Clan was too terrifying. His magical power was almost like a demonic technique. It was enough to kill them all in an instant. Even if they caught up with him, they would be killed.
“The Stone Mouth City is indeed chaotic. So many masters from the Ceroman Clan have sneaked in…”
When Ding Hao entered the cave, he felt that horrible purple Immortal Qi was spurting toward him. Strong lifting force almost sent him flying backward. He could only see things within hundreds of meters with the naked eye.
“This scene is a little familiar… Yes, it is similar to the scene when the purple Dragon Qi burst out in the Great Abyss in the Back Mountain of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect!”
Ding Hao ran his power to dive down and immediately realized something.
“Is the purple Qi in this cave related to that in the Back Mountain of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect in the Snow Province of the Land of Infinity?
“That’s so shocking.
“There must be some terrible secret hidden in it.”
Ding Hao did not hold back his strength and urged it to the extreme. Like a meteorite from the Ninth Heaven, he was falling at a crazy speed. The bursting purple Immortal Qi around his protective Qi shield was burning.
All of a sudden—
Swoosh!
An invisible dark blade suddenly burst out from the lower side and attacked Ding Hao.
“Hmm? There’s an enemy!” Ding Hao was greatly shocked. He hurriedly turned around and narrowly avoided the attack. The horrible tearing force brushed against Ding Hao’s shoulder.
Blood was spurting out.
Ding Hao was injured.
“Any people from the Human Clan entering this place must die!” A piercing howl sounded and a figure rushed over like a bolt of indigo lightning.
It was a master from the Ceroman Clan.
There was an ambush in this place.
Ding Hao’s body shook, and he changed his positions continuously, avoiding a series of crazy attacks like a storm. There were several more wounds between his chest and waist.
It was an extremely terrifying Ceroman master. He was at least in the Semi God Realm.
He seemed to be one of the real masters of the Ceroman Clan who had entered this place. He deliberately stayed there to ambush and kill those masters who had passed the Sea Boundary Formation of the Ceroman Clan. He wanted to buy time for the other Ceromen. In order to get the immortal fate, the Ceroman Clan had indeed put in a lot of effort.
Every step deeper into this place was full of dangers. With Ding Hao’s strength, he was injured as soon as he entered the entrance of the cave. If he went further in, there would definitely be a bloody battle.
At this point, Ding Hao was no longer soft-hearted like a woman.
With a stir of his mind, he held the divine sword Sky Attack in his hand.
This sharp divine sword was taken from the Tenth Divine Prince’s hands. In order to avoid exposing his identity as the bronze grimace mask man, he had reforged this sword slightly using a secret method. He had only slightly changed the appearance of the sword, which made it look completely different from before.
With the sword in his hand, Ding Hao was full of momentum.
In the past, Ding Hao was able to defeat the Tenth Divine Prince who was in the Semi God Realm. Today, in the face of this Ceroman who was in the Semi God Realm, Ding Hao was not afraid of him at all. He shook his divine sword, and countless rays of Sword Light shot out.
The Ceroman in the Semi God Realm let out a sharp and angry roar. He was partly hidden and partly visible in the purple Immortal Qi. He retreated quickly like a ghost, avoiding every Sword Light.
“He doesn’t dare to fight me head on?” Ding Hao noticed something and immediately realized that the power of the Semi God Realm Master of the Ceroman Clan was also affected by the suppressive power between heaven and earth. Seeing Ding Hao’s skillful sword technique and Sword Intent, the latter did not dare to confront him head-on. The latter just kept dodging with his fastest body movement.
This discovery made Ding Hao feel greatly relieved.
It seemed that even a God Realm Master would be affected by the terrible suppressive power between heaven and earth. It was absolutely good news for Ding Hao.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
One after another, cyan dark blades shot out from the purple Qi.
Ding Hao stayed where he was. With a shake of his wrist, brilliant flowery sword shadows appeared in front of him, shattering all the dark blades. His technique was extremely natural and smooth, and his movements were very handsome.
“I can’t waste time with him. I have to end the battle as soon as possible!” With such thoughts, Ding Hao put the divine sword Sky Attack in front of his chest in a horizontal manner.
In the next moment, the hazy Sword Intent immediately spread out. In the space within a hundred meters, it suddenly began to rain. A chill in the early spring and the power of vitality burst out.
It was the Sword Intent of Rain Water.
Ding Hao had comprehended two Sword Intents of the 24 solar terms swordsmanship. The Sword Intent of Rain Water was the most suitable to deal with this kind of hidden opponent who would launch sneak attacks.
Wherever the misty rain passed, nothing could escape Ding Hao’s senses.
Soon—
“I’ve found you!”
When the misty drizzle fell, he immediately sensed the location of the Semi God Realm Master of the Ceroman Clan. Ding Hao immediately urged the Sword Intent of Rain Water to burst out without hesitation. Terrible power was bursting out, and in an instant, the rain all over the sky turned into bright sword radiance. It converged from all directions and enveloped the Semi God Realm Master of the Ceroman Clan. It looked as if he were trapped in a net and were about to be killed.
“Ah…” With a scream, an arm was cut off.
Large amounts of indigo blood were splashing.
The Semi God Realm Master of the Ceroman Clan had never seen so skillful a sword move and so high a sword technique. He had no way to defend against it. His body was almost torn into pieces. The terrible tearing power even cut through his bone armor easily, which scared him out of his wits. He did not dare to linger any longer. With a strange cry, he fled quickly and disappeared into the purple Immortal Qi.
Ding Hao put away his sword and continued to dive down at a high speed.
He was very satisfied with the result of the battle in which he used the Sword Intent of Rain Water just now.
He had seriously injured a Semi God Realm Master with one move. Although the strength of his opponent was being suppressed, it was still a very impressive feat.
The cave was not very deep. It was only more than 1,000 meters deep and it did not take long for him to reach the bottom.
Ding Hao’s guess was right. The underground area was like a labyrinth, with tunnels leading in all directions. It looked like the riverbed of ancient dried underground rivers. There were traces of running water. He could feel an ancient aura. Some stalactites hung down. But under the influence of the purple Immortal Qi, all the rocks had long turned into crystal stones. Everything was purple as far as the eye could see.
It was utterly impossible to see where the surging purple Immortal Qi came from. There was a purple haze everywhere.
“There are so many passageways. Where should I go?”
Ding Hao frowned. He had no sense of direction. If he continued to walk in such an environment, he might get completely lost.
He activated the golden light ball in his sea of consciousness, and a Martial Arts Third Eye opened between his eyebrows. A ray of golden light burst out from that eye, shining through the surrounding purple Immortal Qi. It had penetrated layers of crystal stone walls, and he looked around.
At that time, the Martial Arts Third Eye could even see through the walls of the Towering Buddha Pagoda. When he looked around, the stone walls seemed to be transparent. When Ding Hao saw through the barriers, he could see tunnels leading in all directions, connecting every part of the underground world. They were as dense as spider webs.
Through the crystal stone walls, he could vaguely see figures in the distant passageway.
Unfortunately, he could not see who they were because of the misty purple Immortal Qi.
But one thing was certain. All the people who were able to reach this place were masters with remarkable abilities.
“My father will definitely not miss such an opportunity. Whether it’s the Immortal Artifact or the immortal medicine, they are of great importance to him. He must not let the God’s Palace get them. I wonder what kind of arrangements he will make. Also, I believe that the God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region, Lord Buddha from the Great Leiyin Monastery, and the Central Region Supreme God of War will also show up in this place, right?”
Ding Hao memorized everything he saw and then walked toward the direction where there were the most figures.
The underground world was full of twists and turns like a labyrinth.
Ding Hao activated his Martial Arts Third Eye from time to time to find routes.
“The appearance of the Immortal Artifact has shaken the world. This is an unprecedented opportunity. I’m afraid that the masters of the Demon Clan, who have come to this world from the Land of Infinity, are unwilling to fall behind… As for Ding Tong, if he is not seriously injured, he will definitely show up. Maybe even the Fake God Emperor will also appear in this place!” thought Ding Hao. He moved forward at full speed while being on the alert.
Suddenly, the sound of a battle came from ahead—
“Meow. You bastards. If I don’t demonstrate my power, you will think the Demon King is a sick cat!” A familiar voice sounded in a distant passageway. It was Evil Moon, the Demon King. It roared and the sound waves surged in the passageways of the labyrinth.
“Why is it this Fat Cat?
“Didn’t it go to the brothel with the old guide with messy hair?”
Ding Hao was stunned.
Then, another voice, which was hoarse, shouted. “Fat Cat, why do you want to rob everything you see? They are masters from the Celestial Being Palace. You’ve caused big trouble… Everyone, let me make it clear. I don’t know this Fat Cat at all. I’m just passing by. You can kill it. It has nothing to do with me!” It turned out to be the voice of the old guide with messy hair.
