Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 500 The Power of the Four Sword Intents

With the roar, the drums of war, the atmosphere suddenly changed in the first section of the ancient west road. It was filled with a kind of bleak air of killing, and the earth was rumbling and shaking, as if some terrible existence had showed up. There was a strange vision in the sky. Dense clouds came from all sides!

The killing desire was pervasive.

Ding Hao felt this world seemed to show the killing desire to the invading warriors from the Human Clan and the Demon Clan.

“The front forces seem to have angered someone extraordinary...”

Ding Hao called over the eldest of the Three Emperors of Ning Province, to tell him to alert everyone. It wasn’t too late if someone wanted to retreat. Otherwise, if they faced the worst disaster, Ding Hao would be unable to take care of them, even if he had three heads and six arms.

The killing desire between heaven and earth was getting stronger and stronger.

The warriors’ instinctual feelings about danger were superior to those of average people; the weaker warriors in the Sky Saber Extreme Sword Alliance were in a state of terror and panic. After careful consideration, more than ten people finally gave up, turning and walking toward the gate of the ancient road in the distance.

There may be all kinds of natural treasures in that road, and maybe the ultimate mysterious site was full of miracles, but all of those meant nothing to a dead man.

The Three Emperors of Ning Province were starting to regret.

Originally, those people would be of great use as cannon fodder, but since Ding Hao said that, the three emperors could only follow. Unfortunately, they would be weaker when the danger really came.

Everyone was more vigilant as they moved on.

The first part of the ancient road to the west was about a thousand miles, which was not very long, but because of the ferocious beasts constantly appearing along the way, and in order to pick all kinds of magical herbs and treasures and hunt various rare birds and animals, their speed was not very fast. In the early morning of the next day, the crowd had not advanced more than 800 kilometers.

As time passed, the situation began to become more and more strange.

Because as they moved on, Ding Hao was surprised to find that the number of ancient beasts along the way became less and less. There had been no attacks since the previous night, as if all the vicious and wild beasts in the ancient road had disappeared.

But wherever they went, the cracks on the ground showed that there were terrible existences that had crawled out of the ground, and the footprints of the giant beasts were gathering toward the west, where more and more of the Human Clan and the Demon Clan’s corpses had attested to the things that happened.

The anxiety in everyone’s minds had not decreased. It was the opposite, to a dramatical degree.

If something went wrong, there had to be a demon.

An invisible danger and sense of murder was permeated between heaven and earth.

On the second day.

The red sun in the morning shone through the clouds, staining everyone with a layer of blood.

Shenzhou I swiftly crossed the sky with its streamlined silvery hull.

Ding Hao stood straight at the bow of the ship.

Behind him were the people of the Sky Saber Extreme Sword Alliance, who had rested for several hours since the middle of the previous night, to embark on a new journey. Except for the dead men in the recent battles and those who chose to retreat, there were only about 80 people left, but they were all strong warriors with firm minds because they had faced life and death.

Overnight, Ding Hao mastered two saber techniques and two sword techniques.

He was currently practicing day and night without stopping. Even as he stood on the bow of the ship, his eyes were not looking at something in particular because he was thinking of the sword moves and the saber moves, and the breath of his body was constantly changing, as if the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter were recurring on his body.

Suddenly—

“Ah, run...!”

“The beast tide! The fierce beasts are violent. There’s a sea of the fierce beasts...”

“No, help! Help me!”

Screams came suddenly from the clouds in front of them.

Before Ding Hao and his men took action, they saw dozens of streamers rushing out from the white clouds. All of them were the Human Clan warriors. They were like birds frightened by bows, doing their best to run, with traces of clouds behind them. They rushed over and screamed in horror...

Whew! Whew! Whew!

In the next moment, more than a dozen crimson flames quickly rushed out from the clouds behind.

They were a kind of red lark-like giant bird with a bodies of more than ten meters long. Their speed was very fast, with feathers as hard as steel knives. They moved very quickly and slashed the sky with flames on their bodies. They were hunting the Human Clan warriors. Soon, six or seven slow warriors were overtaken and their bodies were torn apart by the birds’ beaks...

The giant birds began to feast, chewing the Human Clan warrior’s bodies.

“Get ready to fight!”

“Formation!”

The Three Emperors of Ning Province shouted seriously.

There were about 30 or 40 giant birds, which had a terrifying power.

“Help! Please help us...” As the warriors who were escaping noticed Ding Hao and his men, they frantically rushed over, begging for help, like people drowning finally seeing a straw.

Ding Hao awoke from meditation and understood what was happening after a glance.

He had a thought in his mind.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Four golden transparent sword lights suddenly shot out from the bow of Shenzhou I, producing powerful airwaves. They moved extremely fast, passing above the Human Clan warriors in a second and hitting the four red giant birds at the front.

Boom!

One of the birds was on fire. Golden fire was ejected from its mouth and its eyes. The bird struggled desperately, but soon turned into a mass of flames, and its steel-like feathers turned into ash. A scorching smell permeated in the air. The bird on fire fell from the air.

Another giant bird still maintained a diving position, but it froze like a statue. Crack! In the next moment, a sound of ice breaking was heard; its back and stomach were pierced by a sharp ice knife. It lost vitality and fell!

What happened to the third giant bird was even weirder.

The fiery red feathers on its body suddenly grew frantically.

In an instant, the feathers grew more than ten times their size, and its body seemed to have expanded several times when viewed from afar, but its body and flesh had actually remained unchanged. Just like roots, the thick feathers sunk deeper into the body, absorbing more than half of its vitality...

Such terrible changes made it impossible to fly anymore. It wailed and fell, hitting a towering mountain peak and turning into a mass of fuzzy flesh.

At the same time, the fourth giant bird also smashed against the mountain.

However, the situation was completely the opposite. The feathers of the fourth giant bird hit by the sword Qi decayed instantly, and its eyes and claws wrinkled, as if instantly passing through hundreds of years. The bird became old in a second.

It fell because its strength had been drained.

Those four giant birds were all ancient beasts which were roughly equivalent to the half-step to the Martial King Realm, but were struck by Ding Hao. They had died in four completely different ways, which completely shocked every warrior behind him.

Obviously, the four kinds of sword Qi contained a strange power.

Ding Hao was thoughtful.

Sword Qi continued to blast out from him.

From a distance, it looked like bright waves of air, separating the void and the clouds, and constantly attacking and killing the violent giant birds in the distance.

At that time, some of the more powerful warriors in the Sky Saber Extreme Sword Alliance could finally feel that there were four very weird auras in the sword lights that looked less threatening. Some seemed to be a vibrant spring, some were like the scorching summer, some were like the late autumn with all things dying, and some were like the harsh winter of the North Wind!

The Four Sword Intents of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter!

What Ding Hao had performed were the Sword Intents that he had just recently mastered.

He had mastered part of the power and the fighting methods of those four Sword Intents.

Fundamentally speaking, the four Sword Intents had a little power to control time, but that was just a wisp of a rule. The Spring Sword Intent could instantly activate the vitality of the body to grow unnaturally, so their opponents’ vitality would be consumed in an instant; the Summer Sword Intent could gather the heat of the body to erupt in one second, so the body would be on fire. The Autumn Sword Intent would make age the body instantly to break their health, and the Winter Sword Intent would freeze the opponent’s body from the inside out, which was difficult to resist...

The way the four giant birds died just proved the power of the four Sword Intents.

With the sword Qi screaming in the void, the clouds rolled, and the void seemed to collapse.

The giant birds coming from the distance kept falling one by one.

Before long, more than 20 red giant birds had fallen.

Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, the rest of the birds roared angrily. The leader of those birds had a red crown and a body six or seven times larger. It squawked and immediately turned around to escape, disappearing into the clouds in the distance!

Ding Hao didn’t chase it.

It was the first time that he had used the four-season Sword Intents, and he was still in the exploration stage.

What worried him a little was that the ancient beasts were Intelligent creatures. They were not weaker than the Human Clan and the Demon Clan, and they had united to launch a counterattack against the invaders.

Their fighting strategy had a tight fit, just like gears, and was extremely deadly to the amorphous mass of the warriors from the Human Clan and the Demon Clan. It was difficult, even for warriors led by some Martial Emperor experts, since their enemies cooperated perfectly.

More importantly, that road was just the first part of the eleven segments of the ancient road to the west.

The remaining ten parts of the ancient road had to be more terrifying and dangerous.
