Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 998 The Massacre

Over the years, the allies of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had been declining day by day.

The former glory of martial arts in the Snow Province was like the sun setting in the west. It was going to be engulfed by endless darkness. That was the last scene the martial arts practitioners in the Snow Province wanted to see.

It was all because of the absence of a real mainstay in the martial arts community in the Snow Province.

After Ding Hao and others left, the vitality and integrity of martial artists in the Snow Province seemed to have been drained. No one could step up to contend against those arrogant outsiders. It was not only a matter of their lack of strength, but it was also a lack of courage.

“Is the former soul of martial arts finally coming back?”

Dao Qingcheng firmly believed that as long as the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect could stage a comeback, it would definitely stir up strong waves in the entire Northern Region and even the Land of Infinity, and the day for martial arts to rise again in the Snow Province would surely come.

“I hope that the return of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect will end the ceaseless holy wars between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan.” In a tattered small building, Xia Nishang, who used to be known as the Heaven Wind Devil Girl, sighed.

“Merciful Buddha. Is Ding Hao coming back? Immediately send this message to the Great Leiyin Monastery and report to the Lord Buddha Sweet Sound.” At the base of the Zero Thought Sect, a white-browed monk with a sad face opened his eyes. He looked like he was deep in thought.

The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had left numerous myths in the martial arts community of the Snow Province.

The words that made up its name seemed to have some kind of magic power.

Whenever someone talked about the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, many residents in the Snow Province would see a glimmer of hope, while the outsiders’ hearts would tremble.

The news spread fast as if it had wings.

Many powers and masters immediately rushed to the gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect to verify if the news was true. They didn’t see any lively and noisy scenes on the Swordsmanship-seeking Mountain, nor did they sense the presence of any strong aura. However, they did find that the defensive formation at the gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had been restored.

However, the restoration of the defensive formation didn’t seem to mean much.

Many people couldn’t figure out the truth.

“It’s just that the defensive formation protecting the mountain has been restored,” an elder of the River Palace said sneeringly. “Unfortunately, the restored formation is different from the one set by Ding Hao. It’s not very powerful. Ha-ha, I think someone is playing a trick.”

Although he said so, he didn’t dare to go inside to have a look.

The reason was very simple. The four saint-level masters deployed by the River Palace in the base of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect disappeared before they sent out any message. It was very likely that they had been killed. The power of the person who had killed the four experienced Sage Realm Masters was not to be underestimated.

The powers and masters hovering in the void looked down at the gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

The restored formation was covered with a protective layer of light silver mist swirling around it. They could not clearly see what was behind that layer of silver mist with the naked eye. The only thing that they were sure about was that there were not many people inside.

Suddenly, a powerful force surged through the sky.

It was the aura of a Supreme Master in the God Realm.

Many people were shocked. They hurriedly stepped to the side.

A red mist swirled in the sky like a thick stream of blood, giving off a very special scent. It was several kilometers long, covering half of the sky and falling from the sky above the gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

“It’s the new supreme master of the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region!”

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

Legend had it that, several years ago, the God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region entered the Immortal Land through the entrance to the immortal pathway at the Green Wood Cliff, and later the new supreme master from the Human Clan in the Northern Region took the place of him. By taking strong actions, the new supreme master uprooted all powers that dared to provoke the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region. He overwhelmingly defeated several hundred new masters like in a row. In this way, he made a name for himself and raised the prestige of the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost to a whole new level.

When the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost was under the control of this new supreme master from the Human Clan in the Northern Region, it was more aggressive and powerful than it was when it was led by the God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region, and its actions were more effective than before.

However, every time this new supreme master from the Human Clan showed up, he hid in the rolling red clouds and mists. No one could see his true face. His means were extremely aggressive and effective, and his temperament was unpredictable. All those who saw him would be afraid of him.

“The news has attracted his attention!”

Many people suddenly realized that the influence of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, which used to be a small sect in the Northern Region, had become terrifyingly great. Just one piece of news about the sect alarmed the present supreme master from the Human Clan in the Northern Region.

Many people grew excited.

“Perhaps this new supreme master from the Human Clan could uncover the mystery and see the changes to the gate clearly.”

However, to everyone’s surprise, the blood mist rolled away from the sky above the gate. The new supreme master from the Human Clan didn’t say anything. He just stayed for a moment and then left without saying a word.

“What’s going on?

“Could the news be false?

“Could it be that the person behind the gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect is not Ding Hao?”

At this moment, many people had their own ideas.

“I’m going there to have a look...” a saint-level master from the River Palace asked the elder. Then, he swooped down like a stream of light. Power was surging through him, and his top-class black armor was flashing. His defensive power had reached its peak. Like a god descending from the sky to deliver divine punishment, he darted straight at the defensive formation.

Everyone’s eyes widened.

Just when the saint-level master was about to crash into the formation, a beam of silver sword light shot up into the sky from the gate, and like a sharp blade cutting through tofu, it instantly sliced the black armor open. The saint-level master turned into a blood mist before he could even let out a scream. Both his body and his divine soul had been destroyed.

Many people opened their eyes wide.

This sword Qi contained unparalleled power and was simply unstoppable. It made many people think of Ding Hao, who once made a name for himself in the Northern Region with his sword and saber. The power of his Sword Intent was also frightening.

“Has Ding Hao really come back?”

“Let’s go!”

The face of the elder from the River Palace suddenly changed. He turned around and ran away with dozens of masters under his command.

The sword strike had scared him out of his wits.

“It turns out that you are from the River Palace. Now that you’ve come here, you can’t leave.” A faint voice came from the gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, accompanied by a stream of silver light.

The stream of silver light cut through the air like a long sharp saber and caught up with the elder and other masters from the River Palace. The elder and tens of elite masters from the River Palace were cut into pieces that fell from the sky.

The stream of silver light turned around in the void and returned to where it came from.

No one could see what it was.

That didn’t matter anyway.

The power of the silver light was far beyond the imaginations of many people. The elder of the River Palace was at the peak of Saint-level, and the tens of masters were at the Saint-level. They were powerful enough to dominate more than half of the Northern Region, but they were all killed in an instant.

What happened just now was not a fight at all.

It was a massacre.

It was a massacre of Sage Realm Masters.

It was like an absurd dream.

However, it indeed happened in front of so many people.

The identity of the person at the gate was no longer important at the moment. What was important was that this person was much more powerful than Ding Hao, and his attack was as strong and effective as Ding Hao’s. This scared many powers and masters harboring evil intentions out of their wits. They hurriedly turned around and fled in panic.

“Hmm? Are those sneaky flies hiding in the void from the Hidden Fragrance Peak?” A voice rang out. “I’ve heard about your glorious deeds. I’ll just collect some interest today.”

An invisible force spread out from the gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

Wherever this strange force passed, ripples were stirred up in the void. Three figures in white tights and silver masks appeared. They had hidden very well and had excellent hiding and escaping skills, but they got caught unknowingly.

They were the three Holy King Assassins from the Hidden Fragrance Peak.

They looked at each other and saw the horror in each other’s eyes. As silver light flashed around them, they merged into the void and escaped like slippery loaches.

The Hidden Fragrance Peak was the most notorious assassination sect in the Northern Region. Its assassins had extreme hiding, escaping and killing skills. Back then, they also took actions against the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect in secret. The experts of the clan were like ghosts walking in the void, and they moved like ghosts, which prevented others from tracking them down.

There was a popular saying on the continent, which went like, “Once you see the assassins from the Hidden Fragrance Peak, it means you’re dead already.”

As long as assassins from the Hidden Fragrance Peak wanted to escape, even those who were several times stronger couldn’t stop them.

Now, however...

Swoosh!

A swooshing sound rang out.

A beam of silver light rose from the gate and shot into the sky at an unimaginable speed. Before the crowd could react, it flashed and fell back to the gate.

The three Holy King Assassins from the Hidden Fragrance Peak in the void looked as if they had been petrified. Halves of their bodies were in the void, while the other halves remained where they were.

Suddenly, sizzling sounds rang out and blood splashed in the void. The body of each of the three Holy King Assassins split into two parts that fell from the void. Their souls had been destroyed.

“Another three masters have died!

“Who on earth is the person at the gate? He is terrifyingly powerful. He’s killed the three Holy King Assassins from the Hidden Fragrance Peak with so much ease. Even their elusive escaping skills couldn’t escape his attention.”

“The person at the gate is a senior in the God Realm!”

Dao Qingcheng appeared in the distant sky and made a judgment.

However, he was not sure whether that person was Ding Hao.

Having gone through so many ups and downs over the years, he was no longer the young man he used to be. He was now much more cautious than before. He did not enter the base of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect rashly because he found the situation very strange. “It seems that Ding Hao hasn’t come back. This style is different from that of Ding Hao. Maybe someone is impersonating a member of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and trying to stir up trouble.”

The Land of Infinity had fallen into chaos.

Although the full-scale holy war between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan did not break out, the two clans had been in a very intense relationship, and skirmishes broke out from time to time. The situation in the Northern Region was relatively better. It was rumored that the Divine Central Continent and the other three regions had become Demon Battlefields.

Some people made secret arrangements, some killed innocent people, others claimed to be kings, yet others suffered defeat.

The situation was just too strange to understand. All kinds of strange things happened.

Just when many people were trying to figure out what was going on at the gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, several streams of light suddenly came flashing from the distance. They were the messengers from various major powers.

“Has something happened?”

Dao Qingcheng’s heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling.

Suddenly, a series of different sounds came from the distance. In the direction of the distant Mirror Lake, numerous warning beacons rose tens of thousands of meters into the sky, which could be seen from the distance.

These were emergency alarm signals.

“What’s going on? So many major sects at the Mirror Lake base issued alarm signals at the same time...” The look on Dao Qingcheng’s face changed dramatically. “That’s terrible. The Mirror Lake is under attack... Has the Demon Clan started a war?”

Just then, a beam of saber light shot straight at him.

He raised his hand. The beam of saber light fell onto his palm and turned into a light symbol. He read the information contained in the symbol with his mind.

“Some mysterious power has launched a surprise attack on the Mirror Lake!”

Dao Qingcheng was astounded.

According to the message contained in the light symbol, it was not that the Demon Clan breached the treaty of alliance and started a war, but that a great power suddenly attacked the Mirror Lake and started a crazy massacre without any warning. The attackers suddenly came to the Mirror Lake in a huge black warship. They were terrifyingly powerful and acted like a bunch of bandits.
