Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 811 Blade One

No one had expected that the person controlling the horrible army in the magnificent metal carriage was a dwarf below the Martial King Realm.

“Let me go. Please spare my life…” The dwarf fell into Ding Hao’s hands. Having no backbone, he immediately begged and said, “I’m willing to give you the control method of the Heaven-exterminating Flame Army. I’m willing to give you everything. Please spare my life!”

Heaven-exterminating Flame Army was the name of this flaming metal army.

The dwarf was originally just an ordinary man specializing in inscription and weapon refining. He had some achievements and talent in inscription and weapon refining. Later, by chance, he accidentally entered the ruins of a sect in the Archean Period and got such an unknown metal army. The Heaven-exterminating Flame Army was a metal puppet army built by a gifted man of inscription and weapon refining in the archean times with all his efforts. The magnificent metal carriage was its control core. One could control it even if his Qi cultivation was not high enough.

The gifted man of inscription and weapon refining in the Archean Period originally wanted to rely on this metal army to dominate the world and establish a sect, but unfortunately, when he had just completed everything, he died of exhaustion early. Therefore, this shocking metal army had never shown up in history and had been buried deep in the underground ruins.

After getting this metal army, the dwarf was ecstatic. He spent 20 years studying it and finally controlled it. After that, he took the army along with him and achieved instant fame. In the beginning, he was merely a visiting weapon refiner as well as an Inscriptionist of a small sect, but he suddenly became someone who could rule over a region. He took revenge on countless people who had looked down on and ridiculed him in the past. He did whatever he wanted and enjoyed himself to his heart’s content.

This time, when he heard the news of the Sky-fleeing Stone Key, he led the army here.

When he got the Heaven-exterminating Flame Army, he was already more than 300 years old. Because of the loss of life over the years, he only had 50 or 60 years left at most, given his Qi cultivation. Over the years, he had been indulging in sensual pleasures. Instead of improving, his strength had regressed considerably. Therefore, he hoped to get the Sky-fleeing Stone Key so that he could have the chance to enter the legendary fairyland and obtain eternal life.

However, he did not expect to meet Ding Hao.

Ding Hao himself was a master of inscription and alchemy. Under the cultivation of the Saber Master and the Sword Master, he got quite a discerning eye. Only a handful of people in the world could match him when it came to his understanding of and research on many inscription formations and refining skills in the Archean Period. With the Third Eye, he glanced at the entire Heaven-exterminating Flame Army and instantly saw through the way to control the metal army.

In fact, the dwarf didn’t really have complete control of this terrifying army. He only knew a little about it. Ding Hao released his powerful Divine Senses with his Mind Essential on and almost effortlessly obtained control of this army.

“Haha, the Heaven-exterminating Flame Army is like a bright pearl thrown into darkness in your hands because you don’t know its value at all. However, since you have given me such a generous gift, how about I spare you this time?”

Ding Hao was in a good mood, so he laughed and threw the dwarf out instead of killing him.

Ding Hao then stood on the shaft of the magnificent metal carriage, reached out to hold the reins, and shook his hands gently. Then, he shouted something in a low voice.

Layers of metal ripples emerged on the bodies of the eight giant metal horses pulling the carriage. The next moment, something incredible happened. In a series of metal clattering noises, the eight metal horses trembled like liquid and finally turned into eight ferocious golden metal dragons. They seemed to come to life, and their roars resounded through the sky.

An aura, many times more powerful than before, spread from their bodies.

This scene stunned the dwarf. He stood looking at it with his mouth agape and then murmured, “It’s impossible… It’s absolutely impossible. How could there be such a change? How did he know?”

The dwarf could not figure it out at all. The Heaven-exterminating Flame Army had been in his control for nearly a hundred years. He thought that he had completely understood the metal army, but he never knew that the eight horses pulling the carriage could have such a transformation. After turning into dragons, they were obviously countless times stronger, and their physical strength was comparable to that of a Half-step Martial Sage. If he had known this mystery before, Ding Hao would not have been able to reach the carriage so easily.

“Hahaha, good stuff!”

Ding Hao couldn’t help praising the army. The dwarf had no idea how terrible and powerful this metal army was, and did not even exert one-twelfth of its power. Now that Ding Hao got it, his might was doubled.

The metal carriage with a huge canopy was the core of the whole Heaven-exterminating Flame Army, and it was also the most powerful part. It was called the Dragon-drawn Heaven Palace with a lot of transformations. If it was fully activated, even a high-level Martial Sage could not break in. The dwarf did not know the secret. He was foolish enough to use it merely as a resting place.

There were many other mysteries about the Dragon-drawn Heaven Palace, but Ding Hao had no time to experience them one by one for the time being.

The situation was pressing.

“Guard!”

Ding Hao shouted, and thousands of metal puppets turned into four teams, landing on the ground and guarding Qing River Town.

All forces had taken action one after another. Ding Hao couldn’t save the situation alone. The Heaven-exterminating Flame Army shared most of his pressure. At this time, he no longer held back. With the Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword in his hands, he seemed like a killing god. Although he didn’t fully activate the Devil Saber, wherever he went with all his might, he was like a killing god, stirring up bloody storms.

“The Sky-fleeing Stone Key is on him…” Someone detected something and shouted, pointing to Wang Xiaoqi in the crowd.

In an instant, countless people rushed madly at Wang Xiaoqi.

“I didn’t take the so-called Sky-fleeing Stone Key…” Wang Xiaoqi defended himself loudly, but it was useless. After all, the Heaven-exterminating Flame Army couldn’t stop everything. Some powerful people broke through the blockade of these metal puppets. Wang Xiaoqi felt their mighty power coming upon him like a raging torrent.

In the face of such powerful opponents, Wang Xiaoqi could not resist at all.

Although Li Yunqi was an expert in the Great Grandmaster Realm, he was still too weak.

“Water-overturning Sword!” Li Yiruo shouted, and a long sword as blue as the sea in her hand shot out like lightning. In an instant, the void was filled with waves, and layers of soft water walls appeared in front of the three.

“Pop! Pop! Pop!”

The water walls shattered almost as soon as they appeared.

Li Yiruo’s strength had soared in the past three years, and she had already reached the peak of the Martial King Realm. She could resist for a while, but she could not reverse the situation. Countless ferocious faces came at her, and different Demon Auras were surging. Even some Martial Sage experts took action. Li Yiruo only felt her body shake before she flew backward.

“Adorable…”

The little dolphin suddenly appeared and held Li Yiruo back. At the same time, it spat out sparkling bubbles.

The three Demon Emperors at the front were instantly trapped in the bubbles and couldn’t break free in a while. The other experts who were approaching paused and were aghast after seeing this scene.

In this short moment, Ding Hao arrived.

“Kill!”

Seeing Li Yiruo injured, Ding Hao’s eyes turned red.

The Devil Saber in his left hand buzzed and vibrated. He activated it without hesitation. In an instant, tens of thousands of red divine beams burst out of the broken blade, which soon became complete. The scarlet, demonic symbols flashed like flowing blood, and an extremely powerful force burst out from Ding Hao’s left hand.

A kind of demonic power permeated the space.

At this moment, everyone felt suffocated and frightened, as if some terrible Devil was about to break out of the seal and destroy the world.

“D*mn… Retreat!”

The experts of the Demon Clan, who were rushing at the forefront, changed their expressions and instinctively retreated.

But at the same time, Ding Hao had already drawn his saber.

The 24 Moves of the Saber Technique, Blade One.

The Devil Saber whistled, like the destructive fire bursting out of the hellish magma, instantly submerging two Demon Saints, dozens of Demon Emperors, and a Martial Sage. These powerful beings didn’t even have time to struggle or scream before they were instantly burned to ashes. The powerful energy contained in their bodies was swallowed by the Devil Saber and stored in the blade.

The madness subsided at last in the face of such a peerless strike.

Many experts, either in public or in the dark, stared blankly at the void that had been ravaged by the flames of the Devil Saber at this moment. When they saw the human-shaped ashes falling down, their minds went blank. They simply couldn’t believe what they had seen.

Apart from the experts in the Demon Emperor Realm, there were two Demon Saints and one Martial Sage among those who had just been engulfed by the flames of the Devil Saber. Those three could be called absolute experts, but they didn’t even last a moment.

What kind of power was this?

Was this the power of a god?

In the face of such a kind of unknown and strong power, some people finally felt scared and began to retreat slowly.

“Don’t worry, everyone. Ding Hao can only activate this kind of power once. Hahahaha, he’s in a weak state now. It’s time to kill him!” Dugu Wuji’s sinister voice drifted over from a distance.

Some people’s eyes lit up, and they started planning again.

If Ding Hao could only activate such power a few times, they thought they still had a chance.

Ding Hao really shook on the ground.

A wave of weakness washed over him like a tide.

After he activated the Rusted Sword and the Devil Saber in succession, almost all the power in his body was taken away. Fortunately, almost in an instant, the Devil Saber injected some power into his body. The power of two Demon Saints, one Martial Sage, and dozens of Demon Emperors was amazing. After being refined by the Devil Saber, it turned into the purest power, which was still majestic, and well replenished Ding Hao’s extracted power.

At the same time, Ding Hao chewed up the restorative elixir that had been placed under his tongue. The elixir turned into pure energy, dispersing into his limbs and bones.

The superposition of the two allowed him to regain some fighting power.
