Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 992 Nalan Xingde’s Ending

“It’s just a weapon and it’s now in my control. I can do whatever I want to it,” Nalan Xingde roared madly. He was utterly mad because now he was sure that he had been deceived by Clay Bodhisattva.

“If you’re thinking that way, you are destined to be wiped out.” Clay Bodhisattva sneered and looked at Nalan Xingde with pity and contempt.

“You’re dead meat, and so are your wife and children,” Nalan Xingde roared viciously. “I’ll make you suffer for the rest of your life.”

The pity in Clay Bodhisattva’s eyes became clearer. He spread out his hands and said, “You can’t possibly think that you will leave this place alive, can you?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Nalan Xingde suddenly came back to his senses and no longer felt agitated as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head.

He turned his head and saw Ding Hao and Nalan Youxia.

Ding Hao looked at him coldly as if he were looking at a dead man.

Nalan Xingde’s anger turned into horror.

He immediately trembled, knowing that he was doomed.

He thought, “This man would never let me off the hook. I had the Immortal Artifact before so I was able to resist, but there’s no way for me to escape now. I’m doomed to die.”

“Haha, I didn’t expect that although I took every step carefully and I was about to succeed while keeping walking on eggshells, in the end, I ended up benefiting others...” Nalan Xingde looked up at the sky and sighed. “It’s really God’s will that I’m destined to die.”

Ding Hao sneered and couldn’t help retorting, “You still don’t understand what has been going on. It’s not that God wants you to die, and you had the opportunity to make things right before. The Immortal Artifact is the achievement of what thousands of generations have created. It was born through the matrix of intelligent creatures and it has your blood in it. This is clearly a blessing given to you by the heavens, but you brought about your own destruction. You didn’t cherish what you have and treated your kin coldly. You forced your own children to abandon you and made the whole Heaven Path despise you. That was why the Immortal Artifact abandoned you. If you had treated Chu and Youxia sincerely, they would have definitely regarded you as their closest kin and no one could have taken the Immortal Artifact from you.”

Nalan Xingde was stunned.

He was already quite regretful in his heart, but he still felt unconvinced and shouted, “You are talking nonsense. It’s not my fault and it’s just that they don’t deserve to be my children. If I, as their father, want them to die, they’ll die. This is the law of nature. What have I done wrong?”

“You’re about to die but you still don’t know your mistake. How could a cold-blooded jerk like you be worthy of possessing the Immortal Artifact? Heaven Path wanted to assist you, but you went against it and dug your own grave, yet now you’re blaming God and others for what you have brought to yourself?” Clay Bodhisattva couldn’t help but ridicule.

Nalan Xingde opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything.

His expression instantly became depressed, and he seemed to have aged hundreds of years in an instant. He was originally a handsome man, but suddenly he stooped down. It could be seen that wrinkles were appearing on his face, and his black hair turned gray immediately.

His world fell apart, which was the saddest thing that could happen to a man.

Even though he had great fury and dissatisfaction in his heart, Nalan Xingde also clearly understood that he was indeed and extremely wrong. If he had not been blinded by the power and influence of the common customs back then, and if he were able to treat the herb girl from Heavenly Wasteland Tribe and his children well, everything might have been different.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry...” He couldn’t help but burst into tears, and he couldn’t stand still anymore. His knees went weak, and he suddenly collapsed to the ground. Kneeling, he crawled over to his children and shouted, “Chu, You Xia, I’m sorry. I’m willing to die to make amends. Can... can you forgive me?”

He begged with all his might.

Ding Hao and Clay Bodhisattva sneered without any sympathy.

However, neither of them said anything.

After all, this jerk was the biological father of Nalan Chu and Nalan Youxia and it wouldn’t be appropriate for them to intervene as outsiders.

There was a short silence.

Nalan Youxia, who had been transformed into the Immortal Artifact, slowly opened his mouth and spoke in Nalan Chu’s voice. He said determinedly, “No!”

He didn’t say it loud nor did his word contain any power, but his voice was so firm without the slightest hesitation as if nothing in the world could change his mind.

What he said was a huge blow to Nalan Xingde.

He knew that his last shred of hope had been destroyed.

“Don’t... don’t... Chu, I’m just muddle-headed. Please save me, take pity on me, and don’t kill me. Chu, you are a good child...” Nalan Xingde was flustered and immediately gave up all dignity. He was willing to do anything to avoid getting killed, just like how he had used all possible means to get the Immortal Artifact.

Ding Hao lifted his foot and kicked him away.

“Chu has already returned all her bloodline to you, and you have refined all Youxia’s bloodline with the Dragon Roar Heavenly Tactical Deployment. They have nothing to do with you now. A piece of trash like you doesn’t deserve to be a father at all...” Ding Hao said disdainfully.

His kick directly destroyed Nalan Xingde’s dantian and meridians, as well as all his cultivation.

“Puff...” Nalan Xingde spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Ding Hao viciously.

“It seems that you are really incorrigible. Do you still want to take revenge?” Noticing his vicious eyes and knowing his resentment, Ding Hao didn’t care. He sneered and said, “I don’t want to kill you in front of Chu and Youxia, so I just destroyed your cultivation and let you off, you piece of trash. Now scram!”

Although Nalan Youxia and Nalan Chu had cut ties with their father, Ding Hao still did not want to kill this jerk in front of them, for fear that it would leave them great traumas.

Nalan Xingde looked at Ding Hao with great resentment. He stumbled to his feet and struggled to run away.

Looking at his back, Clay Bodhisattva knew that he was doomed and he would die a very miserable death.

During the emergence of the Immortal Artifact, Nalan Xingde had made a fool of the God’s Palace and cheated the God Emperor, which was tantamount to cheating the whole God’s Palace, which brought shame to everyone there. At this time, the ones including the Fake God Emperor and Ding Tong had come to the realization and they were furious. They would never let go of the culprit, Nalan Xingde.

With the means and style of the God’s Palace, Nalan Xingde would definitely wish he were dead.

He was also well aware of it, so before being caught by the God’s Palace, he would live in great fear.

To live such a miserable life while being destined to die would be the greatest punishment for him.

Clay Bodhisattva sighed a bit, and then he saw Ding Hao’s eyes fixed on him. He smiled slightly, sighed, and said, “I guess you must have a lot of questions to ask me.”

Ding Hao nodded gently.

He didn’t know whether he should treat the person in front of him as an enemy or a friend.

“He is not a friend because the tactical deployment he set almost killed Nalan Youxia and he just watched aside while Nalan Chu was getting cornered. Nalan Xingde couldn’t have set up such a terrible trap without this person’s help.

“But he is not an enemy either because it was him who reminded me at the most critical moment that helped me control the Immortal Artifact as soon as possible and turn the tide of the battle. While Nalan Xingde and I were in a state of extreme shock at that time, if he had reminded Nalan Xingde instead of me or if he had snatched the Immortal Artifact at that moment, I’m afraid that I would probably be dead by now.”

“I think you should have heard of the name ‘Clay Bodhisattva’ before,” Clay Bodhisattva said softly.

Ding Hao nodded.

After coming to the Land of Divine Grace, he had boned up on the information about this world and paid attention to many stories and legends, including some legendary deeds of Clay Bodhisattva.

It was said that this person’s divination talent was the best in the world. He claimed that there was nothing that he didn’t know. In those days, when he divined the lifespan of the God Emperor in the God’s Palace, he said that the God Emperor would die three months later. Others regarded it as a joke. After all, the God Emperor was young and strong at that time and was known as one of the top dominators on the continent and showed no sign of weakening, but then he did die three months later just like Clay Bodhisattva had divined.

Thus, all the people on the entire continent were stunned.

When everyone went to find Clay Bodhisattva again, he disappeared.

No matter what power or force others had used, they couldn’t find this person.

Everyone finally believed that he could divine all mysteries of the heavens, and predict fortune and disaster. He knew what was going to happen in the future, so it would be impossible for people to capture him.

After that, whenever he occasionally showed up on the continent and gave casual guidance, it would cause a great sensation. A single sentence from him could make a man a peerless expert, make an ordinary force a super one, and make a miracle happen.

Countless people wanted to get Clay Bodhisattva’s guidance.

Countless forces wanted to get their hands on such an extraordinary person.

Unfortunately, if he was unwilling to appear, no one would be able to find him.

No one knew where he had learned his skills from, nor did they know his real name. He was greatly mysterious. Later, people gradually called him “Bodhisattva”, indicating that he could observe heaven and earth like a Bodhisattva in Buddhist Tao.

However, his strength was not as strong as how it was rumored, so later, some busybody added the word “Clay” in front of his title, which made him known as Clay Bodhisattva.

He was indeed an extraordinary person.

When Ding Hao heard about his stories back then, he also sighed with emotion. It was absolutely the most terrible magical power to be able to understand the secrets of heaven from ancient to modern times. If he could get this person’s help to fight against the God’s Palace and Ding Tong and others, he would definitely have the advantage in all aspects.

However, that was just his wish at that time.

After all, Clay Bodhisattva had disappeared for too long.

But Ding Hao didn’t expect that such an extraordinary person would appear in front of him in this way today.

“In fact, we have met once before, but I don’t know if you still remember that,” said Clay Bodhisattva calmly.

Ding Hao was stunned and sensed carefully. The aura of the person in front of him seemed to be a little familiar.

The next moment, he remembered that on the night when he disabled Ding Sha and returned to the city, he heard many idle men talking about the situation in the Stone Mouth City in a tavern on the roadside. Among them, there was a well-informed man whose aura was exactly the same as that of Clay Bodhisattva in front of him.

“So he’s that man at the tavern.”

“It seems that you recalled it,” Clay Bodhisattva smiled and said. “Since I turned 60, I no longer divined. I lived in seclusion in this frontier city and married a poor girl from a farmer’s family before I had my kids. I wanted to live a normal life and I was satisfied with what I had. But I actually failed to predict that the immortal medicine catalyst and Immortal Artifact would appear in this city, and all the forces on the continent would fight over them. A great disaster is bound to occur. When I noticed it and wanted to walk away from the trouble, it was too late...”
