Chapter 755 A Hypocrite

Fortunately, the middle-aged man did not intend to pursue the matter. Instead, he continued to speak. “I believe everyone here must have heard about the Spirits of the Dead. Tens of millions of them are pouring into the Towering Buddha Pagoda. I’m afraid that the Starry River Boundary Formation and all the other mechanisms in the divine tower won’t be able to hold them back much longer. We won’t be safe here. It’s important for us to discuss what to do if these Spirits of the Dead get in.”

Ding Hao nodded secretly.

This was indeed an important matter. A man spoke out.

“Senior, our strength is back and we no longer feel any pressure here. Why do we still need to fear those filthy scum?” a Martial Grand Emperor said disapprovingly from within the crowd. He seemed very confident in his own strength.

There were quite a few who had the same idea.

“That’s right. Earlier, in the Sea of Opulent Buildings, our Qi power had been suppressed, so those d*mn things had the upper hand. If they come, great. We can take revenge!”

“They are just a horde of dead creatures, and are easy to deal with!”

“There are so many of us here, and so many seniors at the Sage Realm. Why should we be afraid of them?”

The Human Clan experts were very optimistic.

After all, their Qi was no longer suppressed at this moment, nor did they need to fight the Spirits of the Dead physically. They could destroy them all with Qi power, without caring about their numbers.

“I’m afraid things aren’t as simple as you think.” The bronze-skinned middle-aged Martial Sage shook his head, looking solemn. “It’s definitely no coincidence that so many Spirits of the Dead are here. There must be some powerful forces controlling them behind the scene. I’m not worried about those spirits, but the presences behind them.”

“That’s right. Anyone who can control so many Spirits of the Dead must be horrifically powerful. Things aren’t as simple as they seem!” Someone nodded thoughtfully.

“There are so many of us here, and only a god-level supreme master can stop us!” There were still some who weren’t convinced.

There were numerous masters and experts here indeed. They were the elites of the Human Clan from the Divine Central Continent and the Southern Wilderness. Their combined power was so horrific that it could almost annihilate a region, unless it was a god-level supreme master they had to contend with.

“Haha, I think you worry too much, brother. Although there are a lot of Spirits of the Dead, they have poor combat ability. The most important thing now is to decide the ownership of the Three Great Divine Artifacts.” The Aloof Man, Yue Tianxing, who had been observing, said with a smile, “As far as I know, only the Heavenly Samsara Disc is still missing. The God-suppressing Seal and the Sand of Time have both been found…”

After he said this, his eyes purposefully swept over Ding Hao and Yu Miejue. Then he said, “The Sand of Time has been captured by a Demon Clan genius named Wen Duoqing. It’s definitely bad news for us. The most important thing now is to seize that artifact from his hands. If Wen Duoqing manages to leave the Towering Buddha Pagoda and the Sacred Hall ruins, he will be like a tiger released back to his mountain lair. We won’t be able to take back the Divine Artifact if that ever happens!”

“What? The Sand of Time has fallen into the hands of the Demon Clan?”

“Wen Duoqing? Never heard of him before!”

“Sect Leader Yue is right. Taking back the Divine Artifact is the most important thing!”

“Sect Leader Yue, could you tell us who has the God-suppressing Seal?”

There was an uproar in the crowd.

Yue Tianxing’s words were like a large stone thrown into a rippling pool, causing a big splash and making things go out of control. The Divine Artifacts he mentioned had attracted everyone’s attention. They had come here risking their lives for them, hadn’t they?

Not far away, the Demon Clan’s camp had obviously noticed the commotion within the Human Clan’s camp.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

“The Divine Artifacts concern the fate of the Human Clan. We can’t let them fall into the Demon Clan’s hands. Let’s kill the demons now and take back the Divine Artifact…” Yue Tianxing bellowed with inspiring righteousness and raised his arm.

The crowd around him was incited and also started shouting.

Ding Hao stood in the distance and watched this scene, frowning slightly.

This hypocrite knew that the God-suppressing Seal was with Yu Miejue, yet he said nothing and pretended that it was with the Demon Clan. He was obviously trying to create strife between the two clans. It would be a life-and-death battle. Was he trying… to fish in troubled waters and profit from the chaos?

If that happened, many here would be killed.

“This hypocrite deserves to die!”

Ding Hao had never hated a person so much before. Fang Xiao’an, the head of the Tranquility Academy, was the worst hypocrite he had ever met. But he seemed insignificant when compared to Yue Tianxing.

Someone must know what he was up to, right?

Not everyone was stupid enough to be incited.

Sure enough—

“The Demon Clan experts outnumber us. We won’t win if we fight them. We mustn’t act on impulse…” the bronze-skinned Martial Sage on the stone pillar said, frowning.

But before he could finish speaking—

Boom!

A beam of Qi burst out from the crowd toward the Demon Clan’s camp in the distance.

Someone had attacked.

His action was like a fuse, instantly igniting a barrel of explosives.

The formerly tense atmosphere immediately exploded.

There had long been a pent-up hatred between the Demon Clan and the Human Clan. Only the last trace of sanity had prevented them from fighting and slaughtering each other. Now, this last trace of sanity had been completely destroyed by that bursting column of Qi.

“Charge!”

“Let’s kill them all!”

“Pathetic Human Clan vermin! How dare you provoke us!”

“Unforgivable!”

“Kill all the demons. We can’t let any of these savage beasts remain in the Land of Infinity!”

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Every kind of terrible power fluctuation burst out, igniting the clash between Qi and Demon Aura. Amidst the crazy uproar, the slaughter began. No one needed to mobilize and prepare them for battle. The two clans, who had always hated each other, started the mad carnage!

It was an unimaginable scene.

Innumerable streams of light streaked across the sky. The Demon Clan and the Human Clan had turned into streams of light, chasing and slaughtering one another.

The terrifying power flames collided madly, like the loveliest lethal fireworks in the world. Large quantities of blood and bones fell from the sky. Hundreds of experts from the two clans were shattered by the fire as they were too close to one another!

One after another, the experts were being destroyed.

Many experts were pulverized by these crazy attacks before they could even show off their combat skills.

The scene was simply too horrific.

Battle techniques and experience were meaningless in such chaos. It was a mad melee between two armies. Even a Martial Grand Emperor was susceptible to such a chaotic situation. Many experts were killed instantaneously, completely destroyed in body and soul, with no time for their divine souls to escape.

The large Dark Palace was almost completely enveloped by these crazy energy fluctuations.

In less than 15 minutes, the situation had turned absolutely chaotic.

The Human Clan and the Demon Clan were like two piles of sand, intermingling and totally indistinguishable. Their figures flashed wildly and they kept changing positions. Soon, each would find an enemy next to him. Everyone was seething with rage, shredding everything into pieces without the slightest reservation.

On such a chaotic battlefield, only absolute experts at the Sage Realm or super-sects with the strict organization could remain relatively composed. Unlike ordinary experts, they did not need to defend themselves passively.

Ding Hao was also brought into the chaotic battle.

Someone seemed to have opened Pandora’s box amidst such abrupt chaos. Ding Hao had never seen such a scene before. Superior Martial Emperor experts were being destroyed like weeds. Dark Palace seemed to have turned a millstone, slowly crushing everyone into a mash of blood and bones!

Ding Hao could only fight passively.

He wielded his sword and saber, forcing back or killing every Demon Clan expert who tried to attack him.

He had heard too much about that terrible Holy War between the Human and the Demon Clans. Senior experts would all blanch when they heard talk about that battlefield. So many had told Ding Hao quietly that the hatred between the Human and the Demon Clans was irreconcilable. Ding Hao did not quite feel that in the past. Even on the Sage Battlefield, some humans were still working with the demons…

But now, Ding Hao suddenly understood that the brutal legends must be true.

This could only be considered a small-scale battle after that Holy War between the two clans.

But it was terrifying enough.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Dark Palace was stoutly guarded by the power of the rules from the Archean Period, and that its stone pillars and ground were resilient enough, this place would have been razed to the ground by now.

Ding Hao swung his sword and saber and retreated to the edge of the battlefield.

This kind of melee was pointless.

Moreover, he had keenly observed that the absolute masters of the Human and the Demon Clans were not attacking. Given their powerful strength, no one could initiate an attack against them. It would be no different from suicide.

That man who had attacked, triggering this chaotic scene, was now standing next to the Aloof Man, Yue Tianxing.

Yue Tianxing, who had just solemnly and self-righteously incited his compatriots to seize the Divine Artifact, did not look concerned. He did not attack the Demon Clan with his full strength. Instead, hundreds of experts had gathered around him, inching quietly toward that beautiful girl, Yu Miejue…

Martial Sage Luo Guantian of the God-slaying Sect, Wei Wubing of the Wuji Sect, and a few others had also assembled their disciples. They were all moving toward Yu Miejue with the same intention!

“They’re taking advantage of the chaos to rob her!”

Ding Hao’s heart skipped a beat.
