Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 578 Magic Herb

“Ding Hao, don’t push it too far. Our Divine Sword Sect has lasted for a thousand years and is one of the major powers of the Human Clan in the Snow Province. If you force us to dissolve, it would be the same as hindering your own side. What is the difference between you and the demons?” the head of the Divine Sword Sect bit his teeth and shouted, “Now that your strength has transcended human capabilities, you should not be so vindictive. Rather, you should put the overall interests of the Human Clan in the Snow Province first, and we are willing to compensate...”

Before he had finished speaking.

A golden light flashed.

The head of the Divine Sword Sect let out a cry. His strength was instantly sealed by the golden light and he was thrown into the iron pot in the War God Square.

“Ah...” Once again, a miserable voice rang out across the War God Square like a pig being slaughtered.

There was a sneer at the corner of Ding Hao’s mouth.

He couldn’t be bothered to listen to such a scumbag haggling.

Why didn’t he consider the overall interests of the Human Clan in Snow Province when he sieged the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect? Why was he bringing that up at this time?

What a joke.

If the Divine Sword Sect had repented like the Wuji Sect, Ding Hao would have been merciful, leaving them a glimmer of hope. However, not only was he shirking his responsibility, he was also ridiculously claiming the moral high ground. That simply hastened their own demise.

The disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect cheered loudly.

Some simply acted like children, laughing and jumping around with bitter smiles.

Ding Hao’s swift move appeased the anger of every Swordsmanship-seeking Sect disciple.

“You guys, what do you say?” Ding Hao’s eyes fell on the heads of the other sects.

The heads were ashen-faced. Under Ding Hao’s pressure, who was powerful beyond their imagination, they did not have the slightest intention to fight back. Finally, they compromised one after another and admitted participating in the siege of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect to save women, children, the old, and the innocent disciples from their respective sects.

“After ten days, I want you to come to the mountain gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, carrying thorns on your backs. You shall kneel down every ten steps to beg for forgiveness and mourn for the disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect who died on the battlefield. Otherwise, all of your sects will be exterminated!”

Ding Hao’s face was cold.

With a jolt of his mind, a golden light flickered as he teleported the heads of those sects out of the War God Square.

Ding Hao was not worried about them cheating, because he had planted a Divine Sense brand in their bodies. No matter where they fled to, they would be located.

Finally, only the Tranquility Academy remained in the War God Square.

Lu Xiongfei, the former top martial master of the Snow Province, was still buried in the dirt like a carrot. Several disciples of the Tranquility Academy had tried to pull him out, but all their efforts were in vain. They were at their wit’s end.

It was like the end of the world for the disciples of the Tranquility Academy.

Ding Hao was not in a hurry to kill his enemies.

He slowly turned back and treated the injuries of the disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect one by one.

With his vigorous Qi cultivation, wide experience in pills, plus the divine materials and herbs he found in the Sage Battlefield and the divine herb garden, the treatment was so easy for him that it took less than 30 minutes for all the disciples to be fully healed. Their Qi sealed cultivation was also recovered.

Ding Hao used the precious herbs with no reservation.

Because he knew they were the most loyal brothers of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, who stood firmly on the side of the sect even in the face of a life-or-death choice. No matter how much talent they had, they were the most precious treasures of the whole sect.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Xingcheng was the only one who had yet to recover.

He had been fried in the boiling pot up to his knees. The skin and flesh had all fallen off, leaving only blackened bones. He was in such a critical condition that the parts below his knees were necrotic. With just one touch, the bones would break into pieces.

“Senior... Senior Brother Ding, don’t waste the herbs. I know there’s no cure for my injuries...” Zhao Xingcheng said weakly.

Indeed, if he weren’t a martial artist but an ordinary person, he would have already died with such injuries.

Even if Chen Nanchao, the Medicine King of Snow Province, was there, it would have been hard to save him. Unless there was a divine pill that could resurrect skeletons.

Zhao Xingcheng didn’t hold any hope for his injuries as the possibility of him being cured was too small.

Ding Hao smiled and said, ” Rest assured. Your injuries are easily treatable. It’s all my fault, since I took too long in returning. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have suffered this much. If I cannot heal your legs, I would be unworthy of my brothers in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.”

As he was speaking, Ding Hao took out a herb that looked like an orchid from his storage ring.

All of a sudden, a fragrance filled the whole War God Square.

“Is that... the Immortal Orchid?!”

“It’s one of the now-extinct divine medicines, and it’s also a ten-thousand-year-old treasure. Oh my god...”

“E... E... Even in the whole Northern Region, a ten-thousand-year-old Immortal Orchid is enough to tempt old demons and incite fights among the super sects, isn’t it? Where did Ding Hao get this jewel...”

“It’s too extravagant. Ding Hao is going to save an ordinary disciple of the sect with the king of magic medicine. Is he out of his mind?”

“Shush! Don’t you want to keep your life? How dare you say that to the ‘Saber and Sword Addict’?”

“That’s right. Although his strength and aptitude are ordinary, a tough man like Zhao Xingcheng is worthy of such a king of demon plant because of his loyalty to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect!”

“It’s not that simple. If the Saber and Sword Addict can casually take out such a king among demon plants, he must have a lot of even more precious divine materials and medicine... Oh, my god, how lucky was he in the Sage Battlefield? Did he really dig out the legendary herb garden?”

The crowd in the War God Square was floored.

One whiff of the medicinal fragrance was enough to make a person feel refreshed.

Many people were surprised to find that after smelling the fragrance, the Qi cultivation bottlenecks that had bothered them for many days seemed to have loosened. Some clever ones couldn’t help but gulp the air, trying to take in this fragrance as much as possible. After all, the fragrance of the king of demon plants was a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

Ding Hao released some power and smashed the Immortal Orchid into a paste. Then he took out a trickle of Zhao Xingcheng’s blood and mixed it with the paste. With special techniques, he carefully smeared it on Zhao Xingcheng’s scorched bones.

The next moment, a miracle happened.

As soon as the reddish-green liquid touched the bone, it began to wriggle slightly, and the scorched black skeleton quickly became crystal-like, similar to jade. Then, the blood in the liquid slowly turned into streaks of blood and expanded at a visibly fast speed. In the end, it turned into wiggling vessel tissues that were growing wildly...

In less than half an hour, the tissues below Zhao Xingcheng’s knees grew back again.

The crowd gasped in surprise.

It was simply unbelievable.

Ding Hao was also a little surprised.

The Saber Master and the Sword Master had taught him that the Immortal Orchid had the magical effect of turning skeletons into flesh and blood, but he didn’t expect for it to be so magical. It was almost a miracle.

Zhao Xingcheng’s face was full of disbelief. He stood up in a daze. After stamping his feet, he finally exclaimed. Although a sacrifice for the sake of the sect was honorable, no one wanted to be disabled. Only after having narrowly escaped from death could he feel the importance of being a healthy and normal person.

Zhao Xingcheng cried with joy, “Thank you, Senior Brother Ding!”

Ding Hao patted him on the shoulder without saying a word.

The effect of a ten-thousand-year-old Immortal orchid was more than this. Its therapeutic value was extremely profound, otherwise, it would not be worthy of the word “Immortal.” Ding Hao integrated this whole plant into Zhao Xingcheng’s body so that it could subtly change Zhao Xingcheng’s constitution and talent.

As long as he practiced hard, sooner or later, Zhao Xingcheng would rank among the top martial artists in the Snow Province.

“Old jerk, do you have anything else to say?” Ding Hao moved closer to the massive footprint and looked down at Lu Xiongfei.

The former top martial arts expert of the Snow Province’s Human Clan had a sad look on his face. His expression kept changing from ghost-like ferocity to beast-like anguish until all his complicated emotions turned into a long sigh.

He gritted his teeth and said, “Hahaha, haha, well, well, well, just as the waves of the Yangtze River behind drive on those ahead, so does each new generation replace the old one. Today, I was defeated by you. But Ding Hao, don’t be complacent. Taking revenge is not so simple. The destruction of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect is also related to super sects in foreign provinces. Haha, even if you are talented, what can you do to those super sects?”

“Each breath may be your last. You’d better worry about the Tranquility Academy first,” Ding Hao sneered and said, “It’s a pity to see the degeneration of a human martial arts sect that has been passed down for thousands of years. It seems that there’s no need for it to exist in this world. Old jerk, rest assured that you won’t be lonely on the road to hell. I will send the whole Tranquility Academy to keep you company!”

Upon hearing those words, Lu Xiongfei’s face suddenly changed. “You... you would dare?”

“Hahaha, why wouldn’t I dare?” Ding Hao sneered.

“If... if you slaughter them, the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost will not let you go...”

Ding Hao looked up to the sky and laughed. “Since the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost watched my Swordsmanship-seeking Sect fall, then they won’t intervene for the sake of the Tranquility Academy. Every action has its own cause. You don’t think that the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost will really protect the Tranquility Academy, do you? Besides...” Ding Hao looked up at the sky and said calmly, “Even if the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost wants to impose a punishment, I will wipe out the Tranquility Academy at all costs!”

Before his voice died away—

“Hoho, you’re talking big, boy. Who do you think you are? How dare you be so disrespectful to the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost?” someone shouted.

Several rays of golden light flashed from not too far away and landed outside the War God Square in the blink of an eye.

Those golden-armored people who looked like God’s warriors were Mysterious Frost Holy Guards of the Mirror Lake.

“Ding Hao, how dare you boast? How ignorantly arrogant. Remove the restriction immediately and release these people. Whatever your grudges are, the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost will rule. You are not allowed to lynch anyone!” the head of the Mysterious Frost Holy Guard said angrily. He was well-built, with long whiskers and a fierce look on his face.
