Chapter 812 Reinforcements Arriving

Looking at the masters from different forces surrounding him again, Ding Hao sneered. The Devil Saber in his hand shook and made a buzzing sound again.

This shocked all the masters. They retreated at once because it was a sign that Ding Hao would take action and the flames of the Devil Saber would burst out later. No one now dared to face his devastating power.

However, they soon discovered that the Devil Saber just trembled but no flames burst out. Relieved, they gathered around Ding Hao again.

“As long as you hand over the Sky-fleeing Stone Key, we will retreat immediately!

“You can’t stop all of us by yourself…

“Don’t force yourself!”

An expert of the Demon Clan shouted, disturbing Ding Hao’s mind.

“We don’t know what the Sky-fleeing Stone Key is, nor have we ever seen it. Why don’t you believe us?” Wang Xiaoqi shouted angrily, trying to explain, but no one listened to him.

“Well, since you all say I have the Sky-fleeing Stone Key, I will go with you. Come and search me…” Wang Xiaoqi stood up.

Since he caused this disaster, he had to end it himself. He could not always hide behind Ding Hao and look forward to his protection. Although he was weak, he was a man, so he could not be irresponsible.

“Great, you stepped out on your own!” A Demon Saint sneered. He reached out his hand and condensed some foul Demon Aura into a big hand, trying to grab Wang Xiaoqi.

Wang Xiaoqi closed his eyes and did not resist.

“Get lost!” Ding Hao sneered. He waved the Devil Saber backhand. The Saber Qi and Saber Intent burst out and directly cut the hand made of Demon Aura into pieces. He said forcefully word by word, like swords colliding with each other, “Today, I won’t stop until I die. Not to mention that the Sky-fleeing Stone Key is not in our hands, even if it is, you have to defeat me if you want to get it!”

Once again, Ding Hao became someone who could be persuaded by reason but not be cowed by force.

Moreover, he knew very well that if the Sky-fleeing Stone Key was really law-defying and contained the mystery of becoming a fairy, it must never fall into the hands of the Demon Clan. Otherwise, once someone in the Demon Clan became a Demon Fairy, it would be a disaster for the Human Clan. At that time, the whole Human Clan would be completely wiped out from the continent.

In addition, those experts of the Human Clan hidden in the Demon Clan, trying to snatch the Sky-fleeing Stone Key, were not good people. It was definitely not a good thing for the Sky-fleeing Stone Key to fall into the hands of such immoral people.

Although the whole thing seemed a bit inexplicable, it was obviously related to the fate of the two clans. Ding Hao could not take the risk.

One of the Demon Saints said with a cold laugh, “You’re courting death!”

Ding Hao raised his Devil Saber and snapped, “Fight me if you are not convinced. Let’s see if I can make a second strike.”

No one dared to go up to him and give it a try.

If he could really release the devastating power of the previous blow for the second time, it would be no different from courting death to challenge him.

For a moment, the situation appeared to have reached a deadlock.

“Ah…”

Right at this moment, a scream came from not far behind Ding Hao and his companions.

Li Yunqi turned his head and then gritted his teeth immediately when he saw what was happening. He roared, “Father…”

In the distance, Li Ying, the leader of Qing River Town, was carried into the void by a force and his arms were torn off. Blood gushed out like spring water. He struggled frantically but couldn’t throw off the shackles that the invisible force had placed on him.

“Hahahaha, Ding Hao, if you don’t retreat now, I will kill your friend’s father…” Dugu Wuji’s vicious voice was drifting.

It turned out that Dugu Wuji had captured Li Ying when no one was paying attention to him. He originally wanted to capture either Wang Xiaoqi or Li Yiruo, but they were both close to Ding Hao. He was worried that Ding Hao would seriously injure him if he failed, so he attacked Li Ying. Li Ying had not yet reached the Primordial Realm, so he naturally could not fight against a Martial Sage expert.

Uncontrollable killing intent and fury were surging in Ding Hao’s chest. He had never wanted to kill anyone this bad.

“Dugu Wuji, put Uncle Li down and I will spare your life.” Ding Hao held back from taking action against Dugu Wuji for fear of injuring Li Ying.

“Hahahaha, Ding Hao, your threat is of no use to me. I’m a dying man. I’m not afraid to die…” Dugu Wuji’s voice wandered left and right, up and down, drifting. He said, “Li Ying is only the first one. Will Wang Xiaoqi or Li Yiruo be the next one? Hahaha, if you are really cold-blooded enough to disregard the safety of your relatives and loved one for the Sky-fleeing Stone Key, you can continue to keep it for your ambition.”

“Senior Brother Ding…” Li Yunqi wanted to say something.

Ding Hao waved his hand and interrupted him. Then, he said coldly, “Okay, I’ll give you the Sky-fleeing Stone Key. Come and get it.”

“Hahaha, do you think I am a fool? As soon as I get close to you, I will be attacked by your Devil Saber. I have investigated you. I’m very familiar with your personality.” Dugu Wuji hid in the dark and laughed.

“Then what do you want?” Ding Hao asked calmly.

“Ask the boy next to you to send the Sky-fleeing Stone Key over. Don’t come over yourself…” Dugu Wuji’s voice was still elusive.

“Okay.” Ding Hao nodded.

At this moment, Li Ying, who was seriously injured and struggling in the distance, suddenly roared, “Ding Hao, don’t listen to him. Hahaha, I’ve fought many battles in my life, risking my life. Although I’m not a world-shaking figure, I have taken over the territory of Qing River Town. What kind of terrible scene have I not seen? I’ve had enough of this life. My humble life is not comparable to a divine object like the Sky-fleeing Stone Key. Although I’m not a martial arts grandmaster, I do have dignity. You want to use me as a hostage? Dream on!”

As he spoke, Li Ying suddenly struggled violently, and the Qi in his body began to gather in disorder.

He was going to self-detonate.

Countless experts did not expect that this old man, who was only in the Great Martial Mentor Realm and a nobody in their eyes, would be so brave. Even Dugu Wuji did not expect that. At this time, he was shocked and hurriedly trying to suppress the power in Li Ying’s body, in case that the old man would really die and cause him to lose everything.

A shadow appeared beside Li Ying, pressing its palm against his body.

Dugu Wuji finally showed up from hiding.

He thought that it was a safe distance and that with Li Ying in his hands, he didn’t have to worry about Ding Hao’s outburst, so he exposed his traces.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened…

Ripples appeared in the void behind Li Ying. A slender, fair, and soft little hand suddenly appeared out of thin air. Gracefully, it happened to meet the palm that was pressing toward Li Ying’s body.

A violent shock wave suddenly spread in the air like ripples.

Purple flames instantly enveloped Li Ying. A heroic, beautiful woman like a Martial Demigod appeared in the flames. She was the owner of the fair hand. Her energy sent Dugu Wuji flying backward.

It was Xie Jieyu, the Phoenix.

At the most critical moment, the appearance of this female Martial Demigod solved Ding Hao’s crisis.

“Die!” Ding Hao did not hesitate at all. His figure flashed, and like a bolt of lightning, he appeared behind Dugu Wuji, who was flying backward. His Devil Saber shook and the devil flames flickered. The Blade Four of the 24 Moves of the Saber Technique cut through the void.

“Puff!”

Blood spurted out.

One of Dugu Wuji’s arms was severed.

“Arggh…” He screamed in horror and retreated at once.

In order to save his strength to deal with the other masters who besieged him, Ding Hao did not fully activate the power of the Devil Saber. Dugu Wuji, after all, was a Martial Sage expert, so this blow just chopped off one of his arms and didn’t kill him.

Ding Hao sighed and did not chase after him.

He must return to protect Qing River Town.

“Old bastard, I’ll spare your life for the time being, but I will kill you one day,” Ding Hao shouted unwillingly.

“Arggh… Ding Hao, I will make you, and that b*tch, suffer for the rest of your life, I swear…” Dugu Wuji, who had suffered defeat on the verge of victory, roared wildly like a mad dog. He cursed viciously and ran away like a bolt of lightning. He swore to take revenge.

However…

“Puff!”

A small purple flame suddenly flickered on his body in an extremely weird way.

In the next moment, Xie Jieyu, who was originally far away, crossed the distance of time and space in an instant and appeared next to Dugu Wuji. Her fair and delicate palm seemed slow, but in fact, it was fast. It pressed against Dugu Wuji’s chest. The power of horrible purple flames was injected into Dugu Wuji’s body in an instant.

“Arggh…” The Martial Sage expert suddenly began to struggle and howl wildly.

His aura was rapidly declining. Soon, small purple flames spurted out from his pores, which was a weird sight. In the end, purple tongues of fire spurted out of his ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. The more he struggled, the more terrifying the purple flames became. He burned his Power of the Origin to fight against the flames, but it did not work at all.

“Arggh, spare me. Please don’t kill me. I still want to live…” Dugu Wuji struggled desperately and began to beg for mercy. “Ding Hao, ask her to stop. I was wrong. I was really wrong. I am willing to make compensation… Arggh, spare me!”

Dugu Wuji, who had previously said that he wasn’t afraid of death, finally had a breakdown under the shadow of death.

But Ding Hao’s eyes were cold, and there was no pity in them.

In less than a dozen breaths, the old Martial Sage expert was reduced to a pile of ashes in front of everyone…

His howl seemed to echo between heaven and earth.

Xie Jieyu wore a calm and indifferent expression, as if she had done something insignificant.

With a purple flash, this beautiful Martial Demigod returned to her previous place.

This kind of magical power, similar to the Flash Move one could make after he broke through the restraint of the law, made everyone shocked. It was so fast that even Dugu Wuji, a Martial Sage expert, couldn’t avoid it. Coupled with the strange purple flames that could even burn and kill a Martial Sage expert, this woman was simply formidable. If she wanted to hunt down someone, the latter would feel like being targeted by Death and would have no chance to escape.
