Chapter 748 The Power of a Divine Artifact

A small golden Metallic Mantis flew out of the pool of blood, disappearing into a distant corridor like lightning.

It was the Metallic Mantis Demon Saint who had decisively abandoned his body and fled, turning his divine soul into a streak of lightning.

This wise decision saved his life. Although his serious injuries would take him years to recover, he still had a glimmer of hope. He was not like the Great Saint of the Snake Demon Clan whose body and spirit had been completely destroyed. There was no hope of that demon ever resurrecting.

The expressions of the two remaining Demon Saints—the Golden-scale Blood Crocodile and the Blood Goat—changed drastically.

The God-suppressing Seal was no less powerful than when attacking the Snake Demon. This beautiful girl of the Human Clan did not seem at all tired. She could completely control this Divine Artifact.

“You’ve injured Shi Wa and Xin Ge. All of you, die!”

The beautiful girl’s gleaming black hair fluttered strangely in the air like a black waterfall. There was no other expression on her face, only rage and terrifying murderous intent. Her formerly lovely eyes were like abysses, so black that they had no pupils or irises.

In the void, the God-suppressing Seal turned into a stream of red light, its trail so elusive that not even a Sage could see it.

“Oh no!”

“Let’s run!”

The expressions of the two Demon Saints changed. They chose to escape as quickly as possible.

The power of the God-suppressing Seal was far beyond their imagination. Even saints like them could not fight such power. They would die if they did not escape immediately.

To be honest, they really hated Ding Hao.

If Ding Hao hadn’t intervened at the critical moment and stalled for time, the two little bald giants would not have been able to stop them. If it hadn’t been for Ding Hao, they would have already seized the God-suppressing Seal.

“No one leaves!”

The beautiful girl cried coldly, her face full of murderous intent. The God-suppressing Seal soon reached them, again erupting with terrible power and hitting the Blood Goat Demon Saint’s back.

Boom!

Blood and bones were once again scattered all over the sky.

The body of the Blood Goat Demon Saint had disintegrated. His divine soul turned into a stream of light. He was about to escape into a corridor in the distant crystal stone wall, when the streaking God-suppressing Seal overtook him, stopping his run and smashing his soul directly.

For more,

“Xin Ge is incompetent. I couldn’t stop the Demon Clan… Please punish me, mistress!”

The two muscular little giants slowly woke up. When they saw the beautiful girl safe and sound before them, they were surprised and delighted. They immediately genuflected respectfully.

He could see that the two loyal, brawny men were not just afraid of the beautiful girl. They truly respected and were concerned about her. When they saw her safe and sound, they were genuinely ecstatic.

“You two did well. Get up!”

The beautiful girl looked at her two subordinates. The harsh lines and severe expression on her face softened a little.

“Those demon experts have… ah, I remember now! That gigolo helped me…” The little giant named Shi Wa patted his head and finally remembered Ding Hao.

The beautiful girl’s eyes finally fell on Ding Hao.

She stared at him strangely. She did not seem grateful for his help. Instead, she seemed puzzled. There was also a little wariness in her eyes.

“Why did you help me? Do you know who I am?”

The beautiful girl still sounded cold. She slowly walked over and looked at Ding Hao.

Ding Hao slowly put away the rusted sword and looked at the girl who was half a head shorter than him. As he observed her closely at this moment, he discovered that she was actually younger than he had thought. Her face even looked somewhat childish. Her delicate eyebrows, slightly curling lips, and straight nose…

Every part of her face looked stubborn.

Behind that stubbornness was wary and distrust of everyone.

He had almost lost his life. In order to save her, he had been badly thrashed by the four Demon Saints, and yet she did not seem grateful at all. Anyone else, maybe even Ding Hao at times, would feel outraged.

But Ding Hao did not feel angry at all for some reason when confronted by this icy girl.

He even pitied this stubborn girl.

His pity had nothing to do with the girl’s almost perfect looks. He felt a strange and inexplicable affection for her.

The beautiful girl stared at Ding Hao.

In her short life, she had experienced so much and knew very few who could be trusted. She simply could not trust a man she had seen only a few times.

So many men had tried to get close to her because of her looks.

And even more—including a few whom she had regarded as kin—had torn off their hypocritical masks to seize what she had. They had turned from kind-hearted souls into nightmarish demons, almost robbing her of everything.

After so many schemes and betrayals, she could no longer trust anyone.

Yet for some reason, the clear and frank eyes of this man in a shabby teal robe seemed familiar. It made her somewhat flustered.

When she was integrating the God-suppressing Seal into herself, she was still quite aware of everything happening in the outside world.

She could sense the fierceness of that battle.

She also knew that this man had risked his life to give her time to integrate the God-suppressing Seal, a Divine Artifact.

But why was he helping her?

They did not know each other at all.

If he was risking his life for the God-suppressing Seal, it would make sense. After all, the artifact was a great temptation. But he was just stalling for time for a stranger.

“Why did you do this?” The beautiful girl looked at Ding Hao quietly and asked again.

Ding Hao put away the rusted sword, thought for a moment, and replied seriously, “I must not let this Divine Artifact fall into demons’ hands. If this powerful object falls into their hands, it will unbalance the stability of the region. Countless humans will lose their lives because of this.”

“Humph!”

The beautiful girl snorted coldly.
