Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 750 The Demoness from the Southern Wilderness

Boom!

The middle-aged scholar was sent flying again.

One of his arms was almost crushed.

Yet he did not panic as much as he did before. Nor was he in a hurry to escape. Whoever persisted to the end would be the victor. If he could hold on for a while, the beautiful girl’s injury would get worse. When she could no longer control the God-suppressing Seal, it would be time for him to strike back.

As a Martial Sage Realm expert, he had amazing recovery ability. His mangled body could recover almost in the blink of an eye.

By then, things would still be under his control.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The God-suppressing Seal turned into a multihued beam of light and bombarded him like a light intent on annihilating the world. But it was not as powerful as before. Its speed had reduced greatly. It could no longer hit the middle-aged scholar precisely...

Blood spurted out from the corner of the beautiful girl’s mouth.

She was on the verge of collapse, and her face turned pale again.

In order to keep controlling the God-suppressing Seal, she had expended too much of her primordial Qi.

“Hahaha, enough of this...” The middle-aged scholar snickered. He detected a flaw and was about to retaliate...

At this moment...

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

There was a sudden flash. 13 figures appeared out of the tunnel within the walled space. They were like streams of flowing light, suddenly appearing on the spot.

People had come.

Moreover, they were experts of the Human Clan.

The middle-aged scholar’s expression changed and he immediately retreated.

He felt so angry and upset.

D*mn these people! If they had come a little later, he would have succeeded. But he could not retaliate now. Since there were so many people here, he had to consider his option again. A man’s treasure was his own ruin. Even if he managed to lay hands on the Divine Artifact, he would end up being the target of public criticism.

The middle-aged scholar pretended to be injured and tottered backward.

“It’s Senior Yue Tianxing, the Aloof Man from the Wei River Palace. You’re injured...” Someone exclaimed and immediately recognized the middle-aged scholar. He hastily caught and steadied him.

The middle-aged scholar was Yue Tianxing.

His nickname was “the Aloof Man,” and he was the Sect Leader of the Wei River Palace of the Divine Central Continent. He was also one of the famous experts at the Sage Realm taking part in this operation.

Ding Hao’s eyes fell on the newcomers.

There were 13 of them, all Human Clan experts.

Ding Hao’s Mind Essential keenly told him that at least four of them were experts at the Martial Sage Realm. They were no less powerful than the Four Great Demon Saints. The other nine were at the Peak of the Martial Emperor Realm, so each could be considered almost a Sage.

“Immeasurable Lord of Heaven, we sensed the strong impact of a battle. Obviously, there has been a big fight here. Could anyone tell me what’s going on?” An old Taoist priest with youthful features and gray hair glanced around and asked calmly.

“There is remnant Demon Aura in the air, also at the Demon Saint Realm...” A middle-aged man wearing a light teal linen gown, hemp shoes, and a square hat sniffed lightly. “The Mantis Demon from the Double Heaven Palace of the Southern Wilderness, and that big crocodile from the Blood Pool of the Central Region... these are their auras! Were these demons here? Where are they now?”

Both of them were experts at the Sage Realm. Their Divine Senses were powerful and their senses were keen. Although they had not seen the battle with their own eyes, they had managed to guess the details right.

The other two Martial Sages did not say anything. Their dignified eyes fell on Ding Hao and the rest.

They were obviously waiting for an answer.

They could not only sense the auras of a battle and of the demons, but also the faint aura of a Divine Artifact in the air. This was why they had come at once in pursuit.

“What are demoness Yu Miejue from the Peak of the Solemn Moan and her minions up to?” An expert at the Peak Martial Emperor Realm from the Southern Wilderness snickered, staring at the beautiful girl.

Yu Miejue?

Ding Hao’s heart skipped a beat.

So this beautiful girl was called Yu Miejue. Her given name meant “Exterminator.”

Her cold and bloodthirsty personality was indeed as ruthless as her name suggested.

She must be infamous in the Southern Wilderness.

“The God-suppressing Seal... is with her... This vicious woman wants to kill... kill and silence me,” the middle-aged scholar, Yue Tianxing, said breathlessly, gasping repeatedly as he pointed at the cold and deathly pale Yu Miejue.

“What?”

“The God-suppressing Seal, one of the three Divine Artifacts, is actually in her hands?”

“Have we come too late?”

“D*mn! The Sand of Time, one of the three Divine Artifacts, has fallen into the hands of the Demon genius, Wen Duoqing. Now someone has taken the God-suppressing Seal too?”

There was an uproar.

Ding Hao’s heart skipped a beat.

According to them, the Sand of Time, the last of the three Divine Artifacts, had been seized by the Demon Clan. This was bad news indeed.

On second thought, the masters of the Demon Clan who had entered the Final Divine Temple outnumbered the humans. The Human Clan had two of the three Divine Artifacts. In terms of probability, they could be considered extremely lucky.

After some careful observation, Ding Hao discovered minor injuries on their bodies. They must have fought some demons desperately over another Divine Artifact, the Sand of Time.

And they must have been defeated.

Once they detected the fighting aura here, they came as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, they were still a little too late.

There was a big commotion in the crowd.

Some of them were looking rather strangely at Yu Miejue.

Not everyone could resist the temptation of a Divine Artifact.

They must be thinking of how to lay hands on the Divine Artifact.

Even within the same clan, people have been robbed and killed for their treasures.

Finally, someone could not hold back any longer.

It was that master from the Southern Wilderness who first identified Yu Miejue. In his 40s, he was as swarthy as pig iron, tall and scrawny. He took one step forward and sneered. “Seniors, please forgive me for speaking my mind. A Divine Artifact like the God-suppressing Seal must never fall into the hands of a demoness like Yu Miejue.”

“You’re right! How can a young girl own a Divine Artifact?”

“Make her give the God-suppressing Seal to us. We will hold a discussion and elect a highly esteemed warrior to guard the Divine Artifact...”

“Right. This will decide the fate of the Human Clan. We mustn’t be careless!”

Some people voiced their approval loudly, their eyes lighting up.

Hearing this, the beautiful girl, Yu Miejue, did not seem much angry. She merely sneered contemptuously, like she was watching a bunch of clowns. Her face, pale due to her injuries, was like a little white flower amidst a hurricane. She was stubborn and resilient, exuding a different sort of charm.

Ding Hao frowned.

These people were so self-righteous. But weren’t they just trying to justify seizing her treasure?

Sure enough, everyone was greedy for a Divine Artifact like the God-suppressing Seal.

He was a little disappointed in these so-called masters.

The tall and scrawny expert from the Southern Wilderness continued to speak. “Have anyone heard of a demoness from the West Province of the Southern Wilderness, who betrayed her master and sect? She committed so many heinous crimes, joining forces with demonic beasts to destroy the Human Clan?”

“You mean that demoness nicknamed the Absolute Exterminator?” The middle-aged scholar Yue Tianxing’s eyes were gleaming. He seemed to have remembered something.

Another expert also seemed to have realized something and exclaimed in surprise, “I’ve also heard that there is a traitorous villainess from the Heaven Sect, that sacred land of the Human Clan in the Southern Wilderness. She killed her master and betrayed her sect, becoming depraved. She massacred so many in the Southern Wilderness, and many righteous humans died in her hands. It was such an appalling bloodbath! She’s known as the greatest human villain in the history of the Southern Wilderness. Could she be that girl?”

The tall and scrawny expert nodded and smiled. Then, with a look of deep hatred, he sighed. “You’re right, Senior Yue. That demoness is this seemingly innocent girl right in front of us. Don’t be deceived by her pitiful appearance. Many masters and experts had died in her hands, including three highly respected elders from the sacred Heaven Sect. One of them was her caring Martial Uncle who treated her like his own daughter... What a sin!”

“Really?” Yue Tianxing looked surprised and said, “No wonder she wasn’t grateful after I helped her kill the demon experts and get hold of the God-suppressing Seal. She even tried to kill me! She attacked me sneakily and tried to silence me!”

His words immediately caused an uproar in the crowd.

“Really?”

“What a bestial and heartless girl. Although she was helped by Senior Yue, the Aloof Man, she tried to attack him behind his back! Everyone knows what a righteous and warm-hearted man Senior Yue is!”

“If that is true, she must really be a cruel murderess. We can’t let her take the God-suppressing Seal!”

Yue Tianxing had a pained expression on his face as he sighed. “It’s all my fault. I didn’t know who she is. I merely wanted to help her because she seemed talented. I wasn’t aware that I was helping a wicked girl. Oh, what an unforgivable sin!”

“We can’t blame you, of course, Senior Yue. This demoness is just too cunning!”

“Yes, yes! Sect Leader Yue, stop blaming yourself!”

Someone in the company agreed with him.

Right at this moment...

“Haha, hahaha...”

Ding Hao could not help laughing out loud. He pointed at Yue Tianxing and the tall and scrawny expert from the Southern Wilderness, and started applauding. “Bravo, bravo! You two can really spin a yarn. You’re such gifted storytellers that you ought to ply your trade in a teahouse! You will surely make a name for yourselves there.”

Everyone was stunned.

The attention of everyone was on that beautiful girl, Yu Miejue, because of her God-suppressing Seal. Ding Hao, who was healing himself on the side, was gasping weakly, his Qi pitifully weak. No one had really noticed him.
