Supreme Emperor of Swords

“Ye Feixiong, aren’t you a little too hot-tempered?”

Behind Luo Xiangcai, a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing stepped out. He walked with a majestic gait and was surrounded by a faintly discernible golden whirlwind, which made people feel that he was unfathomable.

Obviously, this person had the highest status in the group of people from the God-slaying Sect, and the others were crowded around him.

“Haha, I was wondering why Luo Xiangcai, a loser who was beaten up by a barbarian from the Northern Region, was so arrogant. It turns out that the First Senior Brother of the God-slaying Sect, Zhong Qing, is also here. What? Is your God-slaying Sect also interested in the divine treasures of the Sacred Hall?”

The leader of the group of people from the War God Hall, who had barged in aggressively, was a bearded man who had made sneering comments.

He was dressed in heavy armor, shining with silver light. On his back, there were two huge axes the size of a door plank. He looked like a giant spirit.

The middle-aged man named Zhong Qing smiled and said calmly, “The divine treasures of the ancient ruins appeared, and it reverberated through the Central Region. If you want to get the legacy of the Sacred Hall, you should rely on your skills and opportunities. The War God Hall could come and send Liao Juzhan, the Giant War God, one of the Four Silver-armored Gods, here. Couldn’t our God-slaying Sect come here?”

“Humph, my sect is called the War God Hall, but you call yourself the God-slaying Sect. There will be a battle between us sooner or later.” The brawny man in heavy armor with two giant axes on his back sneered.

Beside him, the other masters of the War God Hall were also dressed in heavy armor. At first glance, they looked like metal weapons.

“I’ll await your instructions at any time,” Zhong Qing said in a tit-for-tat manner.

“Fine. If you can enter the Bone-burying Forest alive, I will teach you well.” Liao Juzhan did not show weakness in his words.

He looked rough, but in fact, he was very shrewd. Otherwise, he would not have become one of the Four Silver-armored Gods of the War God Hall, one of the super forces on the Divine Central Continent. When he saw Zhong Qing and others here, he calculated in his heart and found that there was a slim chance of winning if they fought directly. In addition, if he started a war in Huining City, it would inevitably attract the Super Divine Guards. It was not worth it.

A cold light flashed through Zhong Qing’s eyes. He suddenly made a backhand grab behind him, and a golden wave of air shot out.

“Bang!”

Two walls were blasted apart. Amidst the exclamations, a graceful figure was directly brought over by the golden light.

“Who are you? Why are you hiding behind the walls in a sneaky manner?” Zhong Qing’s eyes were like lightning as he cried out.

“Spare me… I… I am the shopkeeper of this restaurant. I…” It was a young and beautiful woman who was caught. She couldn’t get rid of the golden light and struggled in the air in panic.

“A female shopkeeper in the Martial King Realm?” Zhong Qing stared at the woman with his sharp eyes for a long while, and the suspicion on his face gradually disappeared. He snorted coldly and loosened his grip. The woman fell to the ground with a plop, covering her neck and gasping for breath. She struggled to get up, turned around, and hurried to leave.

Right at this moment…

“Stop,” said Luo Xiangcai suddenly.

The woman’s figure froze, and she did not dare to move. She stood where she was, with her back to the crowd.

Luo Xiangcai walked up to her step by step, gently sniffed the fragrance in the air, and said with a sneer, “Why do I smell the Miaoyu Powder of the Miaoyu Bordello on you? Are you a disciple of the Miaoyu Bordello?”

The woman trembled and was about to run away.

Luo Xiangcai had long been prepared. He pointed with his finger, and a streak of golden light enveloped the woman. It turned into a golden pattern and tied her up. No matter how hard she struggled, she could not escape.

“Is this a secret branch of the Miaoyu Bordello?” Luo Xiangcai laughed out loud and put his palm on the woman’s shoulder. He said in an unhurried tone, “B*tch, if you tell me honestly where the people of the Miaoyu Bordello are hiding, I’ll spare you today.”

“No, no, I don’t know. I’m no longer a disciple of the Miaoyu Bordello.” The woman struggled in panic.

“So, you were before?” A cruel smile appeared on Luo Xiangcai’s face. His palm on the beautiful woman’s shoulder suddenly turned golden as if it was gilded. The woman screamed in pain as if she had been burned by a searing iron.

“A disciple in the Martial King Realm in the Miaoyu Bordello can also be regarded as the elite. You must know a lot of secrets. Tell me them all honestly,” Zhong Qing also said thoughtfully.

“I’m really no longer a disciple of the Miaoyu Bordello. Please spare me…” The woman cried out in pain and begged for mercy.

Some people around couldn’t stand it anymore.

The air was filled with the smell of burnt meat.

Luo Xiangcai was so ruthless that he didn’t give the woman any chance to defend herself.

Ding Hao sighed and suddenly attacked.

“Swoosh!”

He flicked his finger, and several streaks of Sword Intent shot out.

“I’ve been waiting for you for a long while!” A cold light flashed in Zhong Qing’s eyes. A golden sword condensed in his right hand. With a shake of his wrist, more than a dozen sword shadows appeared and defeated Ding Hao’s Sword Intent and Sword Qi.

However, at the same time, Ding Hao, who was sitting in front of the table, flashed past Zhong Qing like a ghost and appeared in front of Luo Xiangcai as if he had used the Flash Move. He touched his sword with two fingers, and the sword light flashed. With a “puff” sound, the golden palm on the woman’s shoulder was cut off from the wrist. Before Luo Xiangcai could react, Ding Hao swayed again and returned to the table with the woman.

This series of movements was extremely fast.

Many experts present didn’t even realize what was going on.

“Ah, my hand…” Luo Xiangcai screamed in pain, but he was glared at by Zhong Qing. Only then did he grit his teeth and close his mouth. He was in so much pain that his head was covered with cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and made his Qi circulate. Then he picked up the palm that fell on the ground and connected it with his wrist again. He was a Martial Emperor, so it was not difficult for him to do this.

“Ding Hao, do you really think that the God-slaying Sect can’t do anything to you?” Zhong Qing was angry and staring at Ding Hao, with killing intent surging in his eyes.

He was well-prepared just now, but he was still taken advantage of by Ding Hao.

It was not a loss for Zhong Qing to let Ding Hao save an insignificant woman. What he really cared about was that Ding Hao was able to save a person when he had taken action. For him, it was the same as being slapped a few times.

Ding Hao didn’t even look at him.

“Why are you here?” Ding Hao looked at the beautiful woman in front of him quietly.

She was one of the two beautiful women who were given to him by the Miaoyu Bordello after the night he spent on the Chu River. Her name was Muying, and she was the leader of the female warriors that night. Ding Hao gave them freedom. To his surprise, Muying opened a restaurant in Huining City. Unfortunately, she was unlucky for she met Luo Xiangcai and others and was recognized at a glance.

“Thank you for saving me, Young Master Ding.” Muying bowed to Ding Hao in pain.

“Are you separated from Miaoyu?” Ding Hao thought of another girl.

Muying nodded and replied, “We’ve been apart for more than three months, and I don’t know where she went. I originally wanted to avoid acquaintances and live in seclusion at the border of the Central Region. I didn’t expect…” Speaking of this, the woman, who had suffered many mishaps in her life, sighed. Her left shoulder blade was almost shattered by Luo Xiangcai’s hidden force, and she felt a sharp pain in it.

Ding Hao gave her an elixir to heal the wound, but he didn’t ask anything more.

“You are Ding Hao?” Liao Juzhan of the War God Hall and other masters also focused their eyes on Ding Hao, with a kind of eager look.

Ding Hao looked at him, then looked at Zhong Qing, and said calmly, “It’s not convenient here. In three days, we’ll fight in the Bone-burying Forest.”

Ding Hao’s strength had increased greatly. Even if he didn’t rely on the rusted sword and the devil saber, he could still fight with a high-level Martial Emperor. Ding Hao could now defeat Luo Xiangcai in one round. Only Zhong Qing and Liao Juzhan could arouse Ding Hao’s interest.

“I hope you won’t be scared out of your wits and hide at that time.” Zhong Qing snorted and left with the masters of the God-slaying Sect.

Liao Juzhan laughed and nodded. Then, he also left with the masters of the War God Hall.

Although Huining City was small, there were still inspectors—Super Divine Guards, stationed there. It was an inhabited area of the Human Clan, not a place for fighting. It was impossible for them to fight today.

With the departure of the people from the two sects, the tense and anxious atmosphere finally came to an end.

The people around who were ready to watch the battle relaxed and breathed sighs of relief.

In the past, there had been examples of the battles between martial artists at the Emperor Level destroying cities. Many people were really afraid that if these few peerless masters started the battle today, the entire Huining City would be razed to the ground by the aftermath of the battle.

“Young Master, let me stay by your side. I’m a weak girl. In this turbulent world, I’m like duckweed without roots. I can’t protect myself!” Muying pleaded sadly.

If it weren’t for Ding Hao’s help today, she would undoubtedly have ended up extremely miserably.

Now, with the change of the situation, the disciples of the Miaoyu Bordello had become objects of universal condemnation. It seemed that there was no place for her to stay in the vast world.

Ding Hao shook his head and said, “There are more dangers around me.”

Muying hurried to say, “I’m not afraid…”

Ding Hao waved his hand, interrupted her, and said, “Don’t talk about it anymore. I can’t take you with me.”

The hope in Muying’s eyes quickly vanished, and she suddenly looked dispirited. But at this point, she heard Ding Hao continue to say, “However, there’s one place I can recommend you if you really want to go.”

The female Martial King’s eyes lit up again, and she asked in surprise, “Really? Where is it?”

The next morning, Muying left Huining City.

Ding Hao taught her a set of methods of hiding her aura and changing her appearance and helped change her temperament and appearance. He also gave her a rough map to the Snow Province in the Northern Region, asking her to go to the Snow Province to seek refuge with the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

He could feel that this female warrior was not a person with evil intentions.

Her strength in the Martial King Realm might be nothing on the Divine Central Continent, but in the Snow Province, she could be regarded as a master. If she could live in seclusion near the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, it would be a great help to the Sect. Ding Hao believed that in the distant Northern Region, no one would recognize her, and she might be able to live the peaceful life that she wanted.
