Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 488 Chaos · Unexpected Change

Ding Hao closed his eyes and began to go through every sword movement and every saber movement.

Ding Hao felt that the combat skills he had seen these days were more than he had gained in the past two years or more. The ancient fighting skills on the first floors of the Sword Tower and the Saber Tower were rustic and simple. Those movements were simple and straightforward, not like the subtle and complicated changes that were popular on the mainland today. They both had their own advantages and disadvantages, but Ding Hao preferred the former.

Because Seven Black Cut, the skill he had created, followed the path of “heavy swords without a sharp edge; skillful the most without thinking”.

“Sky Star Falling One Sword Technique, True Martial Arts Dragon Sword Technique, Lion Tiger Inverse Saber Technique, Dragon Elephant Heaviest Saber Technique…” The saber techniques and the sword techniques he had copied all clearly appeared in Ding Hao’s mind as if there were two shadows in his mind constantly practicing the sword and the saber.

Ding Hao was silent and in a peaceful state.

Sometime later, the two figures in his mind gradually blurred, as if they were starting to stagnate and freeze in place. Immediately, each move of the saber techniques and the swordsmanship seemed to merge. The brilliant part of each move began to converge toward one point.

In the end…

“10 saber movements and 10 sword movements!”

Ding Hao slowly withdrew from the peaceful realm.

In his mind, the previous 10 sword techniques and 10 saber techniques had been blurred, and the rest was a total of 20 saber movements and sword movements derived from them. In other words, he found that he had unintentionally condensed each combat skill to one saber move or one sword move!

Ding Hao stood up slowly.

He could use any of the saber or sword movements at his disposal. In the beginning, he felt a little stuck and stiff, but after one pass, the transformation and connection of the moves quickly became natural, as if he had practiced it thousands of times. His movements were connected smoothly with his mind. He felt very happy.

The sword will and the saber will filled up his room, as if there were tens of millions of swords and sabers shaking in unison, making one’s skin cold!

“After the compression and fusion, the saber technique and swordsmanship are all at the upper sky level, but it is still difficult to enter the god level!”

Regarding the new saber technique and the power of swordsmanship, Ding Hao soon had a judgment in his mind.

In his expectation, he thought that the masters of the Sword Tower and the Saber Tower were so formidable that they could condense the saber and sword techniques into 24 moves. By comparison, he condensed 10 saber techniques and 10 swordsmanships. There was still a long way to go. Ding Hao wondered what level were the 24 Moves of Swordsmanship and the 24 Moves of the Saber Technique.

“God level?”

Ding Hao was looking forward to them.

He turned around and copied another 10 saber techniques and 10 sword techniques downstairs and then continued to practice.

On the first floor of the Sword Tower, Tian Neng, Li Ting, and others were also practicing day and night.

Over the past 10 days or so, they had roughly mastered a set of swordsmanship. Ai Qing came from a sword sect and had a deeper understanding of the sword, and finally mastered a complete copy of Sky Star Falling One Sword Technique, which belonged to the middle rank of the sky level and was very powerful. It was very suitable for a Martial King warrior.

As they saw Ding Hao transcribe some techniques, they just thought Ding Hao wanted to transcribe all the techniques and practice them after they had left the Sage Battlefield. They would never know that Ding Hao had mastered those techniques and even condensed them.

Li Yiruo was taking care of Ximen Qianxue these days while hurrying to practice.

The Qi in the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower was active and had clear rules, so it was better to practice here than in other places of the Highest Heaven. Li Yiruo had nearly entered the realm of congenital grandmaster, but Ding Hao suppressed her power with the Chinese character inscription. He hoped to help her lay a firmer foundation before trying to experience Heaven Disaster.

Zhang Fan still majored in Supreme Kung Fu Devoted by Ten Emperors.

Ding Hao could clearly feel that Zhang Fan’s strength was growing at an incredible speed, and the growth rate was far beyond his previous expectations. In that case, when leaving the Sage Battlefield, Zhang Fan’s realm should be able to reach the Power of the Two Emperors, which was equivalent to the Qi of the half-step Martial Emperor realm.

“Supreme Kung Fu Devoted by Ten Emperors has a mysterious origin. It is an extremely rare method of physical training, and it has likely been passed down from ancient times. Now in the Sage Battlefield, the rules of heaven and earth here are almost the same as in ancient times. Under such an environment, the cultivation speed of Supreme Kung Fu Devoted by Ten Emperors has skyrocketed. This may be a reasonable explanation, and of course, it is also related to Zhang Fan’s accumulation of hard work!”

Ding Hao was really excited about the progress of the hunter boy.

…

In the afternoon, Shen Buhui returned to the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower.

He was now the only one in the giant city of the Highest Heaven who could enter the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower. He had carefully selected a set of swordsmanship to practice. These days, except when he was on duty at the Southwest Gate, he practiced hard on the first floor all the time.

Of course, he would use the time on duty to probe some news for Ding Hao.

“Brother Ding, I’ve been paying attention to Market City, but the Spiritual Medicine you want rarely appears. But someone had a piece of Sky Heart Orchid. It was not old enough but its price was reasonable. I was afraid of being preempted by others, so I bought it without your permission…”

While he was speaking, Shen Buhui took a plant out of his storage space.

The green sprout looked like a wheat sprout just growing out of the soil. It was not surprising. With jagged edges, the sprout was crystal-like, slightly tender, and swaying slightly. When the sunlight was shining on it, a mutation occurred. Suddenly, the color of the sprout turned into the color of the crystal, reflecting the dream-like colorful luster, extremely magnificent.

That was indeed a Sky Heart Orchid.

Ding Hao thanked him, took it carefully, and paid him according to the real price of a Sky Heart Orchid. Although Shen Buhui repeatedly refused, he finally accepted it.

“As for other things, such as Fairy Tears Green Rose, Profound and Dim Real Tree, Heart-Protecting Bamboo Shoot of Nine Emperors, and the other more than a dozen grasses, they have never appeared in Market City, mainly because these things are extremely rare. Even if someone has them, they will keep them for their own use. These rare grasses will never appear in Market City. If you want to get them, you need time and opportunities!”

Shen Buhui advised Ding Hao cautiously.

Ding Hao exhaled a deep breath and thought for a while, then said, “How about this? You spread the news that I need these grasses. Anyone who has the goods in their hands can come to me and talk. I’ll exchange magical weapons, spiritual herbs, or martial arts techniques for them… I can satisfy them to the greatest extent, even if someone wants to enter the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower to learn the ancient sword combat skills!”

Shen Buhui exhaled.

That news would definitely make the whole giant city of the Highest Heaven crazy.

“Brother Ding, you paid such a large price for these herbs for…” Shen Buhui was curious.

Ding Hao smiled slightly and said, “For a little personal affair.”

Shen Buhui stopped asking. After a pause, he thought of something and said, “Well, I have a suggestion. If you can enter the mysterious site, it should not be a problem to obtain all these medicines. In the mysterious site, there is a medicine garden of the gods, which is a medical garden opened by an ancient god who lived on Earth. There are all kinds of magic drugs there. Word has it that in the garden, there was a drop of God blood condensing the essence of divinity, and whoever gets it can have eternal life and know the mystery of God…”

“God’s Medicine Garden? God’s blood? Why don’t I know about this?” Ding Hao was first hearing such a message.

“Recent news has been spread all over the world, especially under the premise that the map that has troubled the two families for tens of thousands of years is about to be gathered. An irresistible boom has been brewing and is about to erupt. I have noticed that this news was from both the Human and Demon clans. It should be true…” Shen Buhui affirmed the authenticity of the news.

That guy was indeed a qualified spy.

He could get all kinds of news quickly and made practical analysis.

Ding Hao touched his chin.

In that case, then he had to be more concerned about the mysterious site. Otherwise, according to the current progress, he could not gather and refine the material of Mysterious Elixir of Magic Horns before leaving the Sage Battlefield. As for the magical materials that the Saber Master and the Sword Master wanted, none of them could be found.

When he looked up, he saw that Shen Buhui wanted to say something but had stopped, so he laughed and said, “Brother Shen, please talk. Is there anything secret between you and me?”

Shen Buhui then carefully said, “Six days ago, the Tianning Dynasty in the Fifth Heaven released a message to the outside world, saying that they have a piece of the map of the mysterious site in their hands and that, Brother Ding, you have allied with them. That caused an uproar in the giant city of the Highest Heaven. Brother Ding, do you know about this?”

Ding Hao nodded and didn’t conceal it.

Shen Buhui breathed a sigh of relief and continued, “That’s all right. Recently, Brother Ding, you’ve become famous. Some speculators have done something under your name, so I was afraid that the Tianning Dynasty also wanted to take advantage of your reputation… Now the wind in the city is treacherous and the undercurrent is surging. Yesterday, several battles broke out in the Fifth Heaven. I think it was against the Tianning Dynasty. Some forces are secretly trying to steal the map…”

Ding Hao frowned slightly and asked, “Battles? Is there such a thing? I remember there are rules that fights are forbidden in the city. Otherwise, they will be attacked by the power of restraint and Puppets of War.”

Shen Buhui looked confused and replied, “I’m also confused. It seems that someone has found a method to crack the force restriction and Puppets of War. In yesterday’s battle, those of the Tianning Dynasty were attacked by several forces, including the Demon Clan. The Tianning Dynasty suffered a great loss, but the restriction of the Highest Heaven and the guardian puppets in the city did not carry the rules out.”

“How was this possible?”

Ding Hao was a little startled. “Did chaos appear so soon?”

It seemed that the situation was far more complicated than the prediction of the Three Emperors of Ning Province.

The Three Emperors of Ning Province did not report to him in time what had happened yesterday. It seemed that they wanted to solve it alone. If they could not handle such things, how could they cooperate with Ding Hao? They wanted to prove themselves. However, the situation now was rather chaotic and the Tianning Dynasty should not be able to solve all this.

Ding Hao felt that it was necessary to do something.

While talking, rushing footsteps were heard outside the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower, and there was a sound of sword’s clashing. Someone was shouting Ding Hao’s name…
