Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 924 Did I Get Ripped off Last Time?

“My Tao is the saber and sword,” said Ding Hao to himself slowly, his tone firm.

The Tao of saber and sword was his foundation. It was not only because of the Saintly Being of Saber and Sword, but also because he had comprehended the Saber Intent and the Sword Intent. This was a kind of superlative technique that could subdue all techniques. In that battle, even the demon-like Ding Tong had not comprehended the Saber Intent and the Sword Intent.

Ding Tong had the Eyes of Fate with Seven Stars, which could see through illusion.

However, there was no illusion in the power of the Saber Intent and the Sword Intent. They were the purest power of the Great Tao between heaven and earth, which could perfectly subdue the Eyes of Fate with Seven Stars.

The saber and the sword were his most powerful forces.

Ding Hao slowly stood up.

The next step was to become well-versed in the 24 Moves of the Saber Technique and the 24 Moves of Swordsmanship, and at the same time, to comprehend the Saber Intent and the Sword Intent to a deeper level. In particular, the latter two were not just about comprehending the properties of many kinds of Saber Intent and Sword Intent. He had to fully develop the two kinds of power and evolve the four major forces of spring, summer, autumn, and winter to the extreme.

Ding Hao felt his mind was very clear after thinking all these issues through.

He did not continue to cultivate. Instead, he stood up and left the secretive training room.

In the main hall...

“That is to say, the number of forces in the Stone Mouth Town increased instead of decreasing in the past few days?” said Ding Hao thoughtfully.

“Exactly.” Shan Xiong said respectfully, “The battle in the Hundred Thousand Mountains has ended and the Eldest Divine Prince and the God’s Palace both suffered losses from each other. It seems that everything was over, but the news about the Immortal Artifact and the immortal medicine catalyst is still spreading wildly on the Eastern Continent. More and more forces and masters have come here to get a share and try their luck. My Lord, you have been cultivating in seclusion for nearly ten days. During this time, I’m afraid that the number of people in Stone Mouth City has increased several times.”

Ding Hao nodded.

It was as expected.

The news about the birth of the Immortal Artifact shouldn’t be false. Not only the people on the Eastern Continent, but all the people on the Land of Divine Grace would also go crazy because of the news. The Beast Clan, the Sea Clan, and the Feather Clan would all come. The competition would be extremely fierce.

Ding Hao had also attached great importance to this issue.

However, he did not hold too much hope that he could get the legendary Immortal Artifact. After all, this competition would cause the entire continent to go crazy. At that time, God Realm Masters would appear one after another, and supreme masters from all over the world would gather. His strength was far from powerful enough. Once he was involved in it, he might not be able to protect himself. However, Ding Hao would not stay out of it. At least, he would provide some help secretly to stop the God’s Palace from getting the Immortal Artifact.

“I wonder if my father will vie with others for the Immortal Artifact.”

After the battle in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Ding Hao had a new understanding of his father’s means and strength. His father was obviously more powerful than his most optimistic estimation. If the two top masters, the God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region and Lord Buddha from the Great Leiyin Monastery, were still on his father’s side, it was possible for Ding Shengtan to get the Immortal Artifact.

“Is there any news about the immortal medicine catalyst?” asked Ding Hao.

A shameful look immediately appeared on Shan Xiong’s face. He said, “We have also been inquiring about this kind of information, but unfortunately, we didn’t get much. Now, there is only one thing we can be sure of. Everyone in the outside world is certain that the immortal medicine catalyst will also appear in Stone Mouth City. There is a rumor that the immortal medicine catalyst will appear along with the Immortal Artifact.”

During these days, the people who practiced physical cultivation tried to blend into Stone Mouth City. With the help of the old guide, they obtained a lot of information. Unfortunately, it was not complete, so it was difficult for them to make a judgment.

Ding Hao waved his hand and said, “It’s not your fault. We are newcomers here. After all, we’ve just started building our foundation. It’s good enough to get these pieces of news.”

“Celestial Master, you are very wise.” Shan Xiong flattered him.

Ding Hao just shook his head with a smile and said no more.

Then, he checked the progress of Nalan Chu’s cultivation. The little girl was only of better-than-average quality at first, but Ding Hao completely changed her constitution. She was now a little genius. These days, she was cultivating diligently and finally entered the three-apertured Great Martial Mentor Realm. The speed was amazing.

Nalan Youxia was loafing these days. He did cultivate with his sister. With Ding Hao’s permission, Nalan Chu patiently explained the cultivation method to him, but it was unknown whether the silly boy understood it or not. Ding Hao carefully observed him and found that the mysterious power in Nalan Youxia’s body was gradually becoming stronger.

This was a good sign.

Nalan Youxia’s aptitude and constitution were very outstanding. Unfortunately, he was in a confused state of mind. Otherwise, his achievements in the future would definitely not be lower than the famous geniuses of the new generation such as Ding Busan and Ding Busi.

“By the way, is there any news about the whereabouts of the Three Thousand Swords?” Ding Hao thought of this issue and asked about it casually.

The old guide with messy hair said with a bitter face, “Your honor, these days, many people in the Stone Mouth City were crazily looking for the Three Thousand Swords. The unique skill of the previous supreme master of swordsmanship, Shi Yihuang, was very attractive, but unfortunately, there was no clue about the Three Thousand Swords. They seemed to have disappeared from the world. Some people speculate that they might have left the Stone Mouth City or have found a new owner.”

The old guide with messy hair was looking everywhere for the Three Thousand Swords these days. It could be said that he almost broke his legs, but there was no news about them.

Ding Hao nodded.

The Three Thousand Swords belonged to the fated.

Shi Yihuang was also a hero of his generation. He was once regarded as a peerless figure who could compete with Ding Hao’s father and the 13th Divine Prince for glory. It was a pity that he had ended in tragedy. The Taoist technique he had left was definitely not simple. Ding Hao also hoped to master it. After all, he had also practiced the saber and the sword, so it should be useful to him. But now he had no time and energy to look for the Taoist technique.

Ding Hao focused all his energy on the immortal medicine catalyst.

No matter what price he had to pay, he had to get the immortal medicine catalyst to treat his mother’s injury.

After organizing his thoughts, Ding Hao stood up and said, “It’s been ten days. It’s time to take a look at the people from the Nalan family. It’s time to end this.”

As they were talking, they came to the front hall.

With a stir of Ding Hao’s mind, the golden patterns flickered, and the Starry River Illusionary Formation slowly withdrew. Everything in the surroundings returned to normal.

The masters of the Nalan family only saw a flash in front of them, and the endless lonely starry void had disappeared. The scenery in front of them returned to normal, and they were now breathing the fresh air. Finally, they came out of the terrible illusionary formation and saw the real scenery.

Dozens of white-robed masters looked quite dispirited.

The face of the middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress was slightly pale, but she was in good spirits. Her eyes looked very ferocious. At the moment when she was freed, her eyes were fixed on Ding Hao. With a flash, she instantly burst out the most powerful force and came to Ding Hao as if she were using Flash Move. Her big hand reached out to grab him.

Ding Hao slapped her hand casually.

Boom!

The middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress felt as if a heavenly thunder had exploded in her palm. She felt numb and half of her arm instantly lost feeling. A huge force hit her, and she flew backward involuntarily. After landing on the ground, she took more than ten steps back. There was a sweet taste in her throat, and she almost spat out a mouthful of blood...

“How could this be possible?” The middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress was shocked. She looked up and stared at Ding Hao in disbelief.

She pretended that she wanted to attack Ding Hao just now, but in fact, she wanted to change her target in an instant. She wanted to hold Nalan Chu hostage and leave the Red Stone Manor safely. Unexpectedly, her opponent, who was on par with her with a palm strike ten days ago, had sent her flying with a casual attack today. In this way, it was completely futile for her to make a plan for the next step...

“In just ten days, how could a person’s strength grow so fast?”

“Retreat...!” The middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress shouted as she turned into a stream of light and flew out.

But Ding Hao was faster. In the next moment, he appeared in front of her and pointed at her with his finger. The middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress felt a sharp pain between her eyebrows, as if her forehead was about to be penetrated. An invisible Sword Intent had blocked all her escape routes.

She had to fly backward.

The moment she landed on the ground, she held her breath and was about to change her direction. At this time, a cold palm was placed on her shoulder. A bone-chilling aura gushed out of the palm, instantly undermining her protective mysterious strength and blocking the Qi channels in her body.

“You... How dare you...” The middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress was shocked and furious.

At this moment, she felt as if she were a little child who had been completely toyed with by her opponent.

Slap!

Ding Hao slapped her with a backhand and sent her flying. She vomited blood and fell to the ground.

“You are courting death. You still don’t understand the situation.” Ding Hao landed on the cornerstone of the front hall. He shook his head and said, “Stay here. I want to see what other means the Nalan family has.”

The other white-robed masters were so frightened that they dared not move.

The middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress was the Junior Sister of their mistress. Her strength was at the Completion Sage Realm and she was an illustrious master. She was also a powerful character in the Nalan family. She always had the final say and her means was vicious. Everyone was afraid of her.

But at this time, she was defeated by her opponent in one move...

The eyes of the masters from the Nalan family fell on Ding Hao’s face. It was obvious that they were in awe of him.

“You...” Ding Hao raised his hand and pointed to the youngest Nalan master among them, saying, “Go back and tell Nalan Xingde to come and redeem his dog himself. If he doesn’t come within six days, I’ll cut off her head.”

The young man was stunned, and then he immediately turned around and left.

With a wave of Ding Hao’s hand, the people who practiced physical cultivation tied up the middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress and the other Nalan masters with inscription chains and sent them to the dungeon of the manor.

An hour later, Ding Hao appeared in the Heaven Sound Pavilion.

He went to the same room on the 17th floor and saw the same person. In the dim space, the mysterious man who received Ding Hao last time sat with his back to him in the darkness. The mysterious man appeared again with his long hair falling to the ground.

“Deep pocket, you’ve come again. What news do you want to know this time?” The mysterious man’s voice sounded time-beaten. He was obviously teasing Ding Hao.

Ding Hao was speechless.

“Why does he sound so mean?

“Deep pocket? Did I get ripped off the last time I came to buy news?”

Focusing his mind, Ding Hao was about to ask a question, but the long-haired man in the dark took the initiative to say, “Well, if you want to know about the Immortal Artifact and the immortal medicine catalyst, you don’t need to ask about them so as not to waste time, because the fortune-teller of our Heaven Sound Pavilion can’t divine useful information. Although we open our doors to do business, we never sell information that we are not sure of. This is the principle of our Heaven Sound Pavilion.”
