Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 735 Mysterious Glowing Figures

Arnold was extremely startled. He tried several times in a row, but he failed to summon the beast every time.

Ding Hao was dazed for a moment. He slowly withdrew his Qi and loosened the bowstring.

It must be because of the suppression power of the Holy War Arena. In the arena, the strength of both parties would be kept at the same realm. The so-called ultimate strike that Arnold prepared to launched must have been over the power limit designated by that dignified voice. Therefore, that attack could not be launched.

In other words, even the mysterious dignified voice was certain that if Arnold made this move, its power would surpass Ding Hao’s current realm.

“What kind of move could it be on earth? How could it be so terrifying?” Ding Hao thought with fear. But he was also somewhat curious about it.

“What’s wrong? Why can’t I make this move... Toy boy, are you playing tricks on me?” Arnold the giant scratched his shiny forehead with suspicion.

Ding Hao shook his head.

“So this is it. I can’t beat you. Toy boy, you’re really something.” The giant was evidently very disheartened. He thumped his own head hard and said in annoyance, “I’m so useless. I’m just a loser. I don’t deserve to live in the world. Miss, I can’t beat this toy boy, so I can’t go there to protect you. What should I do?”

He became extremely anxious. At the end of his words, he even started to cry like a child.

“Eh?”

Ding Hao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Toy boy, I can’t beat you. But can you do me a favor?” Arnold the giant seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He looked up at Ding Hao, his eyes utterly expectant.

Ding Hao nodded with a smile and said, “Tell me what favor it is first.”

He found this giant kind of childish and adorable. In fact, he was also quite innocent, which formed a huge contrast to his fierce and muscular appearance.

“You are so strong. You can definitely win all the battles and reach the final divine temple in the ruins. After you get there and meet Her Ladyship, could you help her if she encounters any trouble?” The face of Arnold the giant was glowing with expectation. He patted his chest and said, “As long as you promise me this, I will owe you my life... No, let’s say I will owe you three of my lives. I’ll do anything for you. Even if you ask me to undergo the most severe trials, I won’t refuse.”

“Well...” Ding Hao hesitated for a moment and asked curiously, “How can you be so sure that the young lady you want to protect can definitely reach the final divine temple in the ruins? Even you can’t make it to the last destination...”

Arnold’s face was immediately lit with pride, as though the answer was self-evident. He smiled and said, “That’s a sure thing. There is no place in this world that Her Ladyship can’t go.”

“If she is so powerful, she wouldn’t need my help, would she?” Ding Hao asked again.

“It’s different this time. Several shameless forces in the Southern Wilderness have secretly conspired against Her Ladyship.” When he said this, Arnold became anxious again. “Humph, those b*stards are even worse than beasts. They have been scheming against Her Ladyship all the time... Toy boy, do I have your word or not?”

Ding Hao lowered his head and deliberated seriously for moments. Then, he said, “Fine, I promise you, if that young lady is in danger, I will give her a helping hand.”

Arnold was overjoyed. He then described the appearance and character of that young lady. But before he could finish, the cold and dignified voice sounded in the void—

“The battle on the 98th arena is over. The winner shall advance while the loser retreats.”

Before that voice had died away, a jet of silver light flashed and teleported Arnold the giant out of the arena. No one knew where he had been sent to.

Another thumb-sized shining dot slowly descended from the sky.

It was a Jade in the Stone again.

This time, it was still a Jade in the Stone of the ordinary kind among the 17 kinds, definitely not one of the seven top-grade types.

Nonetheless, for Ding Hao, it was already timely assistance. Adding the Yin and Yang Jade in the Stone and the Purple Emperor Jade in the Stone, Ding Hao had already obtained five pieces of Jade in Stone. Once all of them were successfully refined, he could condense 100 of the 340 bones he had. Then, he would be one step closer to the goal of collecting the 17 kinds of Jade in Stone and forging the undying body.

Before he was teleported into another arena to start the next battle, Ding Hao sat cross-legged on the ground and began to regulate his breathing as he did before.

During the battle with Arnold just now, Ding Hao had consumed a large amount of his flaming Qii to drive the Divine Four Guardians Bow. He must recover his Qi as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would be in trouble if he met an even stronger opponent in the next battle.

Thankfully, in this environment, there was sufficient Qi of heaven and earth, so he could replenish his Qi in no time.

About two hours later, the silver light columns once again plummeted from the sky, enveloping Ding Hao, Evil Moon, and the black dog. The teleportation began.

In the next two days, Ding Hao had been swamped with this kind of endless battle.

Every battle was a life-and-death challenge.

Because the enemies he encountered in the next two days were all extremely powerful beings. Although the cultivation of both parties would be limited to the highest realm of the weaker party on the Holy War Arena, those who had gone so far in this competition were certainly the best among elites. Even though their cultivation was suppressed, their combat ability was still extremely horrific.

Moreover, Ding Hao had already vaguely sensed that as time went by, the cold and dignified voice taking control of the Holy War Arena behind the scenes had probably begun to reappraise his combat capability, and the combat capability of his physical strength had also been taken into account. It meant that the upper limit set for Ding Hao’s opponents was much higher than before.

Ding Hao encountered many experts of the Human Clan and the Demon Clan in succession.

The Holy War Arenas he entered were getting larger and larger. The opponents he met were increasingly stronger. Accordingly, the battles would last longer and longer.

Even with Ding Hao’s combat capability, he also began to be injured. Several times, he was even seriously maimed.

In the battle that had just ended, Ding Hao came across a Divine Fox Demon at the peak of the Demon Emperor level. Although the strength of this Demon Emperor of the Fox Clan had been subdued, Ding Hao still paid a huge price to scrape a win. When it was confirmed that the cyan Fox Demon Emperor had lost and he was teleported away, Ding Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief and fell directly on his back on the platform with huge white stone pillars.

“Wheeze, wheeze, wheeze...”

Lying down on his back, Ding Hao wished he could just lie there and never get up again.

After fighting for such a long time, not only did he feel tired physically but he also felt extremely drained mentally.

There was a wound on his waist that almost penetrated his body and cut him into two pieces. It was slowly healing. His body was covered with wounds of all sizes. Almost all of them had extended to his bones. He looked as if he had been executed by dismemberment.

That cyan Fox Demon Emperor he fought just now was truly too frightening. That demon moved like a ghost, so Ding Hao’s eyes could hardly capture his movements. His fox claws were almost indestructible. Ding Hao’s incredibly strong body seemed as weak as a piece of paper before that pair of fox claws.

If Ding Hao hadn’t forcefully activated the golden bead in his mind at the last moment and opened his Third Eye, which instantly captured the figure of the cyan Fox Demon Emperor and allowed him to aim his Devil Saber at him and deliver the strongest blow, he would probably be the one who lost the battle.

“D*mn it, how long on earth will this kind of battle continue?”

Even though he was a battle zealot, he felt that he could not hold on any longer.

Ding Hao got up with fatigue. Despite the sharp pain in all his body parts, he sat cross-legged on the spot and tried to seize every second to restore his strength.

Because no one knew when the next teleportation would begin. If Ding Hao met an even more horrible opponent, with his current state, he had no idea how long he could hang in there.

“How is it? This young man seems to have great potential.”

In a mysterious space surrounded by white clouds, two glowing figures were standing in front of a magic mirror and observing carefully.

The magic mirror was extremely huge. The surface of the mirror had been divided into thousands of small mirrors. Thus, the big mirror looked like a giant compound eye. The image of most of the small mirrors had dimmed, turning green and gray. Only about dozens of small mirrors at the center were still shining, showing the reflections of different figures.

One of the small shining mirrors showed Ding Hao, who was sitting cross-legged to heal himself.

The strange glowing figure who had spoken before was looking intently at Ding Hao.

The eyes of the other strange glowing figure rested on Ding Hao. After carefully studying him for a moment, the figure remarked, “He is indeed a talented one. And he can be one of the candidates. However, whether he can get the final fortune or not still depends on the choice of those three.”

“Well, you’re right,” the previous glowing figure said. “The opening of the Towering Buddha Pagoda this time has attracted countless geniuses from all sides, and our mission is about to be completed.”

“It’s a pity that we still don’t know if Master’s descendants have come as well. We don’t have much time left. Now, there are signs that the second energy tide on the five regions is reverting to the ancestral type. This is a sign of chaos and war. Another Immeasurable Tribulation has descended. If one can’t become an immortal or a devil, one will still be a nobody. If Master’s descendants are lucky enough to seize this good fortune, maybe they will have a chance... Alas!”

The glowing figure heaved with a sigh.

“Everything is the will of the heavens. Since the Bloodline Instrument hasn’t shone yet, it means...” The other glowing figure also sighed.

“Eh? The battle in the 145th arena is finally over. I can’t believe the final winner is actually that boy...” The glowing figure’s gaze had landed on a small mirror that was still flickering. It showed that a handsome young man dressed in white and holding a folding fan in his hand had defeated his opponent after a fierce fight. He slowly sat down on the ground and began to regulate his breathing.

“Oh, is he the little guy who has hidden his true identity? He has great potential and is also a very promising candidate.”

“I actually think this girl is also quite brilliant.” The other glowing figure’s eyes fell on another magic mirror.

A beautiful girl dressed in a long red dress that fluttered elegantly in the wind just swung a punch and pummeled a Demon Emperor at the peak stage into pieces. This scene was extremely shocking. From her looks, this beautiful girl could not be more than 16 years old. However, her strength was kind of staggering. It seemed that she did not spend much effort to defeat that Demon Emperor at the peak stage.

“Well, this little girl is indeed the strongest among all the youngsters. She has basically crushed every opponent she has met. What’s strange is that neither of us can tell what kind of power she has been cultivating...” the other glowing figure muttered with bewilderment.
