Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 84 A Fake One

Looking at their anxious faces, Ding Hao knew that they were very anxious. He immediately said, “Although this is the dark spring, it’s only a part of it. Perhaps not. It’s a fake spring. Even if we seal it or break it, it can’t solve the fundamental problem…”

Hearing what Ding Hao said, the female warriors of the Charm Tribe immediately became more and more anxious.

“Just a part of it? It’s fake? But this is the only spring, there’s no other spring…”

“Where is the real spring? Did we get the wrong place?”

“Lord Ding Hao, what should we do next?”

Although Qin Menglan was a little anxious, she was not too worried. From the pupil technique that Ding Hao had just used and his expression later, she knew that Ding Hao must have discovered something.

Sure enough, what Ding Hao said next immediately made everyone relieved. “There is a tactical deployment mechanism here, which has hidden the real spring. As long as the mechanism is found, we can see the real spring. Of course, I just found it!” As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve, and seven white lights shot out from it. They entered the ground in different directions under the surprised eyes of everyone.

In the next second, the ground began to glow brightly, as if it had been activated by something, shaking slightly.

The tremors grew stronger and stronger, and rumbling sounds could be heard continuously, which seemed to be strengthening.

Waves of mysterious power gradually emerged, converged, and dissipated.

In the end, the unusually dazzling light suddenly disappeared, and there was a sudden change beside the huge pit where black water kept gushing out.

There, the soil split and the surrounding soil began to separate to the left and right. In the end, a passage appeared in everyone’s eyes.

After that passage appeared, the spring that was originally supposed to be the dark spring suddenly started to change. The black liquid began to ripple and then disappeared.

“That’s the passage leading to the real spring. As long as we find the spring in it, the disaster can be really solved,” Ding Hao said.

“Since that’s the case, we have no time to lose. Let’s go in and find the dark spring…”

Qin Menglan and the others nodded. Without the slightest hesitation, they immediately swarmed into the passage.

They had just passed through the dark but not long passage. When they saw the scene below, everyone was dumbfounded. Evil Moon even jumped up violently and cursed, “Fuck. It’s just a spring. Why is it so difficult to find it? First, there’s the imperial palace, and then there’s a tactical deployment. Now, there’s a fucking maze. It’s so annoying. If we find that guy later, I will teach him a hard lesson and spank him. This is infuriating…”

Layers of black walls appeared in front of them, forming different corridors.

It was a huge underground maze.

While Evil Moon was cursing, everyone set off again.

Following one of the corridors, Ding Hao and the others went deeper.

After several hours, they had not seen the dark spring yet, but along the way, they had been attacked by a lot of dark tactical deployments and dark creatures. In addition, there was no regular pattern in this maze at all. There were many corridors in it in a disorderly manner, which made Evil Moon, who had been very displeased, even angrier with Ding Tong.

Ding Hao had no doubt that if Ding Tong was in front of them now, Evil Moon would definitely rush up without hesitation and bite him to death.

Fortunately, in the end, Ding Hao used some methods to find the correct path. They finally broke through the danger and walked out of the maze.

“Meow, haha, we finally got out of this damn maze. If it took a little longer, I would have gone crazy. By the way, Human Pet, how did you find the correct path? Meow, I can’t tell the difference between that corridor and other ones…”

What Evil Moon said did not attract anyone’s attention, because everyone was focused on the front.

Hundreds of feet away, there was a small pool of black and thick water with black liquid constantly gushing out from the middle.

It was the dark spring.

That was the true location of the dark spring.

They had finally found the true dark spring.

The spring gurgled, and clear water flowed out. But ten seconds later, the spring water turned pure black, and there was no stinky smell as imagined. There was even a delicate fragrance, which was extremely attractive. At the same time, the dark power here was also at a higher level than that of the previous places. The closer one was to the dark spring, the stronger the dark power was.

The crowd slowly walked forward.

But at this time, the dense dark force, like a horrible behemoth, was awakened by them and became extremely agitated. It surged toward Ding Hao and the others.

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly activated their Qi to strengthen the shield to resist the attack of the dark power.

In the face of such shocking dark power, many female warriors felt that they had turned into small boats in the raging waves and could be destroyed at any time. Fortunately, with the support of Ding Hao’s power, although the dark power attacked fiercely, they still managed to escape unscathed.

However, Ding Hao, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped at this time. He turned his head and looked at some female warriors whose cultivation had only reached the two or three-apertured level of the True Immortal Realm. He said slowly, “The dark power here is too strong. You’d better stay where you are. If you get any closer, I’m afraid you can’t resist it even with my support…”

When the female warriors of the Charm Tribe, including Qin Menglan, heard what Ding Hao said, they were all stunned and turned to look at their companions.

Only then did those female warriors find that their faces had already turned black, and they were sweating profusely as if they were enduring some pain. As for the shield that Ding Hao covered them with, it was still on them. Obviously, it was not that there was something wrong with Ding Hao’s shield, but that these female warriors themselves could not resist the dark power.

As early as they entered this area, Ding Hao reminded them that his shield could not help them completely block the dark power. It could only block part of it. As for the rest, they needed to activate their Qi to block it.

In the beginning, the dark power was not too strong, and with the support of Ding Hao’s power, they didn’t pay much attention to it. They thought they could resist it, but now they found that even with the support of Ding Hao, they were still too weak to resist these dark powers. If they approached the dark power head-on, they would probably be eroded, and then they would become dark creatures and lose their minds.

Qin Menglan creased her brows and then said, “All of you need to retreat. Don’t get any closer to the dark spring…”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” When the female warriors heard this, they didn’t dare to stay where they were. They bowed to Qin Menglan and retreated.

The rest of the people set off once more.

However, as they got closer, the dark power became more terrifying. Soon, some female warriors of the Charm Tribe could not resist it and had to retreat helplessly.

In the end, only Ding Hao and Qin Menglan, whose cultivation had reached the middle level of the Eternal Realm, were left.

However, what Qin Menglan did not expect was that when she was only a few dozen meters away from the mouth of the spring, the dark power also caused her to break out in cold sweat. Traces of black air appeared on her pure jade-like face as she showed signs of being unable to withstand it.

“This is my limit. I didn’t expect that I couldn’t even get close to it…” In the end, when Qin Menglan was only about 20 meters away from the dark spring, she finally couldn’t hold on. She could only stop moving forward and let Ding Hao get close to the black water alone.

As for Evil Moon, it gave up from the beginning. It was not interested in the dark spring. In its words, the water was not food, so it would not join in the fun.

In the eyes of everyone, Ding Hao walked over step by step, getting closer and closer to the dark spring.

Ding Hao seemed to be able to attract everyone’s attention. Every step he took was so eye-catching and admirable.

In the eyes of the female warriors of the Charm Tribe, Ding Hao seemed to have turned into a mountain or an ocean at this moment. He was extremely calm as if nothing could stop him.

Everyone was extremely shocked.

Qin Menglan appeared even more shocked. Her cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Eternal Realm, and she was the one, other than Ding Hao, closest to the dark spring just now. Naturally, besides Ding Hao, she was the one who knew the horrors of the dark spring the best. Moreover, she could tell that Ding Hao was very skilled in dealing with these dark forces, unlike her and her tribesmen, who could not resist the dark power even if they tried their best to do it.

Under the gaze of many people, Ding Hao finally came to the dark spring.

“The dark power has increased many times, and it is also the source of all the dark power. This spring is indeed the real dark spring!” After observing for a while, Ding Hao confirmed it.

Then, he bent down and reached out his hand to hold a handful of spring water under everyone’s horror. He slightly widened his eyes and observed carefully.

He touched the water of the Dark Spring with his palm.

This was something that the people of the Charm Tribe did not even dare to think about. What Ding Hao did immediately caused them to exclaim with horror all over their faces.

It should be noted that even a master as powerful as Qin Menglan could only use Qi to carefully wrap the spring water if she wanted to observe it. She did not dare to let even half a drop of the dark spring water touch her body.

But at this moment, Ding Hao did so.

However, before the shocked people of the Charm Tribe could come to their senses, something strange suddenly happened around them.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Stunning noises rang out as the ground quaked continuously.

At the same time, rays of light burst forth from the mouth of the spring. Countless crisscrossed beams of light appeared in the air. They were formed from the dark power, interweaving together to form a giant cage that trapped everyone within.

The cage was covered with the power of a restriction formation, which was obviously a tactical deployment.
