Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 513 As Dangerous as Eggs Piled on Top of the Each Other

Ding Hao did not want to use his sword and saber.

He remained rooted to the spot and then threw a punch.

The terrible fist force was like surging seas. Wherever the fist swept across, the scorching air was torn with a crack. The right arm of the Rock Giant, which had just grown up, was smashed again. And in the midst of the splashing flames, it was broken into a pile of falling gravel.

This time Ding Hao had clearly seen that no blood, vessels or bone were in the Rock Giant’s body. It was completely composed of various kinds of rocks.

The Rock Giant did not seem to be in pain when it broke. A faint flame light was flashing at the place where the broken arm was. The Giant Rock roared while the flame light flashed rapidly. The rocks on the ground seemed to be dragged by an invisible force and they flew back to its broken arm automatically.

Ding Hao felt surprised and punched again.

But this time, he hit the Rock Giant’s heart.

The terrible fist force directly smashed the four or five-meter-thick rock into pieces. A transparent hole with a diameter of one meter appeared in the Rock Giant’s chest. It was the same as the time when the arm had been cut off. No flesh and bones were in his body, but the red flashing flame rapidly became more and more intense, like a mass of sticky blood that could not melt.

There was a faint psywave in the blood ball.

Ding Hao clenched his fists, releasing a powerful suction force from the palm center.

“Swoosh!”

The red blood ball was instantly sucked out and fell into his hand.

In the next moment, the Rock Giant’s more-than-twenty-meter tall body stiffened. The flames that flashed at the joints quickly receded. Time seemed to have suddenly been reincarnated in its body for hundreds of years. Its body, which was originally slightly shiny, finally turned into a very rough statue, without any vitality.

“It turns out that the blood ball was causing trouble.”

The so-called Rock Giant was just a light ball that looked like a blood one. It had a kind of spiritual fluctuation close to life, which was extremely strange. The Rock Giant seemed to be born with the ability to control rocks, so it condensed rocks into a body. However, the ball of flame was very aggressive. Even though it was compressed in his palm by Ding Hao’s strength, it still kept jumping and struggling, releasing a harsh low roar.

“Meow! How dare he be so arrogant after being captured! I can’t stand it anymore!”

The cat had already been drooling. He found an excuse to jump up and swallow the blood ball.

“Hehe, it looks delicious…” Evil Moon smacked his mouth and was satisfied. But the next moment, he suddenly widened his eyes and the white hair all over his body seemed to stand up as if being charged by an electric shock. With his body twitching quickly, he directly bent back and hummed, “Hey? It’s so bitter… It’s not delicious at all, wow, wow… It’s so bitter, it’s so bitter… I feel more bitter than coptis. I don’t want to eat it again…”

“Hey! Ga-ga!” Adorable, the dolphin, laughed gloatingly.

Ding Hao and the others also laughed.

The greedy cat should suffer a little since he felt that everything was delicious.

Along the way, they met more than a dozen such giant rock monsters. They were all easily solved by Ding Hao. He collected more than a dozen blood balls. Ding Hao did not know what they were used for, but he vaguely felt that the light ball was not a creature, but it contained an extremely thin power of law. It was very strange that its ability to control the stones seemed to be related to the power of law.

Ding Hao kept those things for him to study slowly.

Anything that came into contact with the power of law had to be treated seriously.

Evil Moon, the fat cat, was still twitching. The bloody light ball was not only bitter, but also seemed to be able to paralyze his nerves. The cat spat and poured. After a serious illness, it was carried on its back by Adorable.

Ding Hao did not lose his way again, thanks to Ji Yingnan and Ji Yingqi, especially the little girl Ji Yingqi, she had a strong sense of direction. Otherwise, it seemed that they could find some rocks and mountains as coordinates, but in fact, those mountains were almost the same, and the sun was always hanging straight in the sky, so it was hard to distinguish the east, south, east, and west. If it were Ding Hao, he would have gone around many circles.

On the way, they encountered some fighting traces.

Many human and demon martial artists had encountered the same stone monster and had been killed in the battle. Their corpses were exposed to the wilderness and dried up.

Ji Yingnan and Ji Yingqi felt sad.

If they had not been with Ding Hao, even if they had been able to escape from the encirclement by Tang Baishuang and others, they would have been in great danger and would have been killed when they had encountered these horrible giant rock monsters there. It was easy for Ding Hao to kill the Rock Giant, but if it had been someone else, the Rock Giant’s infinite recovery ability alone would have killed some demon martial artists.

The sixth section of the ancient road to the west was about half of the previous one.

It was about 500 kilometers.

The three of them walked all the way and had to deal with numerous giant rock monsters. After about ten days, they finally walked out of the hot rock world.

Ding Hao had absorbed much power of the earth elemental essence and kept exercising his body.

After more than ten days, Ding Hao had accumulated a large amount of earth essence souls in his body. Among the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, the earth element was the most suitable for physical cultivation to strengthen muscle strength and power. Therefore, Ding Hao had been absorbing it all the time. With the magical power of A World inside the Body, he temporarily stored that kind of power in his body. He needed to constantly refine and integrate it in order to achieve the greatest effect.

Along the way, Ding Hao fulfilled his promise.

He taught Ji Yingnan a Heaven-Level Sword Skill named the Starfall Swordsmanship.

That swordsmanship was one of hundreds types of swordsmanship on the second floor of the Sword Tower. Its quality and power were all on par with that of the average swordsmanship. It consisted of 81 moves, and every move was fast and ever-changing. When one practiced it to the Big Achievement Realm, as the sword had been struck out, a cold sparkle showed up first, then it would shine brightly. The 81 moves would be continuous, which made the opponent tired of dealing with them. It was like falling stars all over the sky, drowning in the sky in an instant.

Ji Yingnan, known as the Little Sword Sage in Jade Province, was indeed very talented in swordsmanship.

Under Ding Hao’s guidance, for more than ten days, he was barely familiar with that complicated swordsmanship.

At the end of the sixth section of the ancient road to the west, the purple swirl gate leading to the seventh ancient road was already opened.

The closer he got to the gate of the ancient road, the more bodies of the supreme masters from the Human Clan and the Demon Clan he discovered.

There were still traces of fighting in the air. Not only the masters of the two clans fought against the Rock Giant, but also Ding Hao found the traces of fighting and killing between the warriors of the Human Clan and the Demon Clan. It seemed that as time went by, there were inevitable conflicts between the two clans.

He was afraid that if it went on like that, the temporary cooperation at the altar alliance meeting would not last long!

However, he didn’t know if Song Que, Bai Quanshui and the other supreme masters of the Human Clan had clashed with the forces on par with Bu Tian Que and the Ancient Demon Clan of Silver Moon.

Ding Hao found another kind of strange dead body. His heart and brain were hollowed out, and the body essence was absorbed, turning into a dry corpse. The dead person’s face was still full of horror…

After stepping into the purple swirl gate, the three of them entered the seventh section of the ancient road to the west.

Wang Juefeng, the cynical man, reported what he had seen and heard in detail, “There are many forces within 100 miles in the surrounding area, including the Human Clan and the Demon Clan. They were aggressive and not friendly. Among them, the Tranquility Academy was the most active. It had invaded a place less than 20 miles away from the mountain gate. All sides of the Swordsmanship-seeking Mountain Range have been firmly sealed. All the forces have set up a blockade formation around it. It seems that they were going to take action!”

It was quiet in the Sect Chief’s hall.

Hundreds of high-level masters of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, including Li Jianyi, the Sect Chief, and Qi Qingshan, the first master of the Sect, looked dignified.

The current situation was already very obvious.

The mutation under the garbage cliff at the back of the mountain could no longer be covered. Many forces of the Human Clan and the Demon Clan had already noticed the purple dragon Qi. It was impossible for them not to notice such an obvious abnormality. As the saying went, an innocent man would be guilty of having a treasure. Not to mention the five thousand cubic meters or so of crystal deposits, it was obvious enough to cause a bloody storm in the entire Snow Province.

At the moment, more than twenty forces from the Snow Province had gathered in the mountain range of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. They were definitely not there to congratulate.

It would not be long before a battle was inevitable.

Driven by benefits, let alone the forces of the Demon Clan, even the sects of the Human Clan would also join the fight. The current situation was really dangerous for Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. If it wasn’t handled properly, it would even be possible that the whole Sect would be destroyed.

“Guys, let’s talk about how to deal with it!” Li Jianyi’s eyes swept across everyone present.

All was silent.

Tang Folei, the President of the Sentencing Hall, smiled bitterly and said, “Looking at the current situation, I’m afraid that the news of the crystal mine have been spread out. It’s no longer meaningful to ask how the news leaked. With the strength of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, it’s impossible to resist the strength of more than twenty forces. So I’m afraid we can’t keep the Crystal Mine!”

Li Jianyi nodded and said, “In good fortune lurks calamity and in calamity lies good fortune. Such a magical treasure can’t be dominated by a sect at the seventh grade.”

This was a cruel fact.

Originally, the mysterious mines should have belonged to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect since it appeared in the mountain gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Unfortunately, that fortune was too great. In Snow Province, no sect could resist such temptation. Without enough strength, if a sect wanted to own it, the mine could only bring their destruction.

“Are we going to just give up the mine to the Tranquility Academy and the other sects like this?” In the crowd, Shen Ku said indignantly.

Yes, if they really gave up the mineral resources, no people present would be willing to do so.

The crowd became noisy.

Tang Folei snorted.

The dignity of the chief monk of the Sentencing Hall forced everyone to shut up.

He then said slowly, “For now, we need to start from two aspects. First, we should send letters to the allies and ask them for help. The Zero Thought Sect, the Heavenly Sound Valley and the Chopping Sun City have always been in harmony with the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Ask them to send masters, and we can distribute some mineral resources to them. This way, we can stabilize the situation for the time being. Second, we should send people to break out of the tight encirclement immediately and report this matter to the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost. According to the usual practice of the Holy Palace, they will occupy most of the mineral resources, but they still will give us about one-tenth of them and send masters to defend the mine. If we do it like this, no sects in Snow Province would dare to have a thought of taking the mineral resources.”
