Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 82 The Dark City(2)

In the contaminated area, figures flashed.

The sound of divine weapons colliding with hard objects could be heard continuously. Flames splashed in all directions, and shouts of war resounded incessantly.

Surging Qi and horrible dark power kept surging like tides.

In order to understand these dark creatures, Ding Hao did not stop and walked over.

As soon as he walked to the fighting area, a dark figure stepped on the ground with both hands and feet, leaving a black shadow like a meteor. At the same time, its hands surrounded by black Qi, in the shape of a claw, grabbed Ding Hao fiercely like devil’s claws.

The sound of air being torn apart could be heard. Even the void was torn apart, leaving behind several scars.

Ding Hao remained calm and took a slight step forward. Then, he slightly leaned to one side and narrowly avoided the attack of the dark creature.

The black shadow streaked across the air, and the attack missed. The dark creature landed on the ground with a bang, creating a deep gully in the black soil.

Ding Hao turn around. Only at this moment did he see the face of this dark creature clearly.

This dark creature had fair skin, a small nose, and cherry lips. One could tell that it was a beautiful woman when it was human. Unfortunately, now that it had become a dark creature, its appearance had become extremely sinister.

This dark creature’s eyes were scarlet red. There was a bright red light as the dark creature showed an extremely bloodthirsty look. Then, it made a roar like a beast. It moved again and rushed to Ding Hao.

On the way, the black air around it burst out like a wave and gathered in its right hand. Then, it grabbed the void, and the dark power broke through the void. In front of Ding Hao, a dark light suddenly appeared and rushed toward him.

This dark light surged over like black-colored lightning, and it was filled with a terrifying and shapeless force. Space was obliterated, and everything in the heavens and the earth seemed as if it was about to be obliterated by this dark light. It was extremely terrifying.

Ding Hao was slightly surprised. He could see that this woman, who had been contaminated as a dark creature, was definitely below the three-apertured immortal True Immortal Realm when she was alive. But at this moment, after being injected with the dark power, the power she burst out had reached the six-apertured True Immortal Realm.

In a flash, the dark light had reached Ding Hao and was about to swallow him.

Ding Hao looked calm. He pointed into the void, and a white light shot out and collided with the dark light. After a burst of black and white light surged and made crackling sounds, the white light broke through the dark light and rushed toward the woman who had become a dark creature.

The white light swept past, wrapping around the woman.

By the time the white light dissipated, there was no sign of that dark creature anymore. It was as if it had already disappeared.

Although this dark creature had the strength of the six-apertured True Immortal Realm, it was not strong enough to deal with a master like Ding Hao. Therefore, it was destroyed without a doubt.

After dealing with this dark creature, Ding Hao took the initiative to attack.

He continuously fought against the dark creatures, analyzing their combat strength, as well as exploring their dark power, seeing if he could solve this problem.

However, unfortunately, the dark power had long penetrated into their bodies. That was to say, even if the dark power was eliminated, they would not be able to recover, and at the same time, they would die. Ding Hao had no choice but to kill these dark creatures with one blow.

At the same time, the first team of masters of the Charm Tribe was also fighting fiercely against these dark creatures. It was utterly intense.

The strength of the first team of the Charm Tribe was obviously stronger than that of these dark creatures. Moreover, with the protection of the shield formed by Ding Hao’s power, they were not afraid of the invasion of dark power at all. Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, they played the leading role and had the upper hand.

From time to time, miserable cries of dark creatures could be heard, and then they turned into bloody mist, disappearing into heaven and earth.

Under the control of the dark power, these dark creatures didn’t feel any pain. As long as they were alive, they would continue to fight with all their might. They were simply like innate fighting machines.

Therefore, apart from making them disappear completely, the people of the Charm Tribe could not find any other good way to deal with them for the time being.

…

With the help of Ding Hao, the battle soon ended.

The hundreds of dark creatures that had rushed over just now all turned into a bloody mist and disappeared.

As for the members of the first team of the Charm Tribe, no one had died because they had Ding Hao helping them and their strength was higher than that of these dark creatures. It was just that some of them were slightly injured.

Ding Hao and the first team of warriors returned to the main force. Qin Menglan said, “Brother Ding Hao, I believe that you must have gained some understanding of these dark creatures from this battle…”

Ding Hao nodded and said, “These dark creatures are not simple. The power they burst out is much stronger than the power they had when they were human. The most important thing is that even I can’t deal with the dark power that has invaded them. For now, we can only kill them…”

Qin Menglan was not surprised. She nodded and said, “They were originally heroes of our tribe, but now they have been contaminated by the dark force. If they knew what they had become, they would not wish to stay alive. I’m sure they would hope that we can kill them quickly. Brother Ding Hao, you don’t need to regret what we did…”

After that, she reorganized her troops. They continued to set off.

In the following journey, they occasionally encountered dark creatures, sudden attacks, or direct attacks.

However, because of Ding Hao and Qin Menglan, even if those dark creatures launched a sudden attack, it would not have much effect. They would have been exposed before they even appeared, so the group was not affected.

As the crowd went deeper, more and more dark creatures appeared, more and more concentrated.

After more than a dozen small battles, Ding Hao had a better understanding of the characteristics of these dark creatures. At the same time, he was a little surprised by them. Even Qin Menglan and the people of the Charm Tribe were no exception because the power of these dark creatures was far stronger than what they had known before.

It could be said that these dark creatures were almost as powerful as a large tribe and weren’t just a vague threat to the Charm Tribe.

The force was comparable to the power of a large tribe, and these dark creatures naturally did not lack Eternal Realm experts who had fallen. Of course, these dark creatures were only low-ranked or had only just reached the Eternal Realm.

Seeing this, the crowd moved even faster, including Ding Hao. They all wanted to capture the dark city as soon as possible, find the dark spring, and destroy it.

The dark city was the birthplace of the dark spring, a city built by those dark creatures. If one wanted to destroy the dark city, one would naturally have to enter it, capture it, and then destroy it.

In order to end the battle as soon as possible, Ding Hao defeated the experts of the dark force one after another every time in person.

The group went deeper and deeper. After a lot of battles, they finally arrived in the dark city.

After another fight with the dark creatures who stayed at the gate of the dark city, and after breaking through the gate, Ding Hao and the others finally saw the true colors of the dark city.

“The true battle of the dark city has just begun…” Everyone got nervous as they looked at the scene in front of them. However, their expressions involuntarily became even more determined when they thought of how the tribe would return to its normal state once this place was dealt with.

There were countless buildings within several hundred kilometers of the dark city, and the city walls were over a thousand meters tall. Due to the dark power, the city walls had turned as black as ink. Faintly, one could see some dark power swirl around inside.

The black air in the sky, coupled with the occasional shrill howls, gave others the illusion that they had come to hell.

“Let’s go in!” Qin Menglan took a deep breath. After exchanging glances with Ding Hao, she waved her slender hand and led the troops forward.

The group of people stepped into the city gate which had already become pitch-black like ink, and they finally entered the city.

As soon as they entered, they found that there were black buildings, black rivers, and black wood everywhere, but what drew their attention the most wasn’t these things, but the many dark creatures that were wandering about on the streets. They got interrupted by the crowd and turned around.

“So many dark creatures!” The crowd’s eyes narrowed, and some even cried out in alarm.

In front of them, there were black figures everywhere. They were so densely packed that it was impossible to see the end of them.

Evil Moon glared and scolded, “Holy shit. It’s like an ant’s nest. These things are everywhere. These dark creatures in front of us are many times more than the ones we killed just now. How long will it take for us to go in and see that dark spring…”

Ding Hao was silent. There were indeed many dark creatures here, and the place was crowded. However, it was within his expectations. After all, no matter what, this place was the source of the dark creatures.

“Raaaaargh…”

When those dark creatures saw Ding Hao and the others, they immediately let out inhuman roars. The roars were like tides, one after another. The void was surging, making people’s eardrums tremble. Those dark creatures’ pupils were full of blatant bloodthirstiness. They were simply going to eat these humans alive.

Countless dark creatures burst out with dark power. Surrounded by black air, they rushed to Ding Hao and the others. Because there were too many dark creatures, at this moment, they looked like black waves, rushing to Ding Hao and the others in an overwhelming manner, trying to devour them.

At the same time-

“There are too many dark creatures here. Everyone, don’t spend too much time on fighting. Let’s kill our way out as soon as possible. Our primary goal is to find the dark spring…” Qin Menglan pulled out a three-foot-long jade-like sword from her waist, pointed it straight ahead, and ordered the female warriors behind her.

She appeared imposing.

At this moment, Qin Menglan fully displayed her temperament as the Empress.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

“Charge! Kill our way out…”

“As long as we can get rid of the dark spring, these creatures won’t be a problem. Everyone, charge!”

As soon as Qin Menglan finished speaking, the experts of the Charm Tribe drew their weapons one after another. They rushed straight ahead and fought fiercely with the dark creatures at the forefront.
