Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 988 A Crushing Blow

The expressions of the people of the Nalan family instantly changed.

In particular, Nalan Xingde’s heart was beating wildly. He knew this voice very well. It was the person he was most worried about—the owner of the Red Stone Manor, the leader of the people who practiced physical cultivation in the Vast Ocean, Nalan Chu’s master.

“Why is he here?

“According to the most reliable intelligence, this man should have entered the Saint-alighting Mountain Range and have been trapped in the golden immortal light shield. It’s impossible for him to show up in this place… What’s happening?

“Oh no!”

This man’s strength was too terrible. No one there was able to stop him.

In the next moment, a huge crack finally appeared on the dome of the secret chamber as if the dome had been torn apart by someone. A figure fell down like a bolt of lightning. His cyan robe was similar to jade in color, and his black hair was flying in the air. The irresistible power surged in all directions. Every strand of hair was shining with silver light. He appeared in front of everyone like a War God.

Who else could it be but Ding Hao?

“Where is Chu?” Ding Hao shouted. A golden light shot out from his glabella. He glanced around with his Martial Arts Third Eye, searching for Nalan Chu as soon as possible.

“Attack! Kill this invader!”

Madam Nalan had never seen Ding Hao before. She was immediately furious. With a cold shout and a wave of her hand, a dozen or so masters at the peak of Saint level behind her rushed out like lightning. They burst out with the strongest power and rushed toward Ding Hao.

“Go away!”

Ding Hao’s eyes were shining with a sharp light.

He only moved slightly, but several streaks of Sword Qi separated the void and shot out. The Sword Light flickered, and a series of cracking sounds were heard. The masters at the peak of Saint level of the Nalan family who rushed up had no way to fight back at all. They all exploded and turned into clouds of blood mist.

“How is this possible?”

“It’s too terrible…”

“Who is this man…?”

The remaining several masters of the Nalan family were greatly shocked. They didn’t expect that the figure who had come down suddenly would have so terrible strength. The figure had killed dozens of masters at the peak of Saint level in an instant. He was simply a Killing God.

Madam Nalan was extremely shocked.

The dozen or so people were masters whom she had painstakingly cultivated. They could guarantee her position in the Nalan family, but they had turned into ashes in an instant. She felt distressed and immediately realized that things were not going well, so she retreated as soon as possible.

“We have to hold him back. The Dragon Roar Heavenly Tactical Deployment has reached the last stage. We can’t fail at the last moment…” Nalan Xingde was extremely anxious. He ordered all masters of the Nalan family to besiege Ding Hao.

“You go as well. Quickly hold him back.” Madam Nalan sternly ordered Nalan Xingde in a completely commanding manner.

A trace of ferocity flashed in the depths of Nalan Xingde’s eyes, but he hid it well. He gritted his teeth, and two streaks of sword radiance shot out from his back. They turned into a pair of purple and cyan swords, which fell into his hands. He rushed toward Ding Hao.

Even if they were no match for Ding Hao, it would be fine to stall him for a short period of time.

What the Nalan family lacked now was time.

With this in mind, Nalan Xingde went all out like a trapped beast.

But in the next moment, all his courage melted in an instant like thin snow under the scorching sun. Right in front of him, 30 or 40 most elite masters of the Nalan family who rushed up were all turned into blood mist in less than the time of dozens of breaths.

“All of you, die!” Ding Hao’s furious roar reverberated in the secret chamber like rolling thunder.

With a killing sword in his hand, he killed a man as he took each step. He was like a tiger stepping into a flock of sheep. No one could resist his move at all. Under the suppressive power between heaven and earth, even the strength of a Semi God Realm Master had decreased. When they faced Ding Hao, they could not withstand a single blow.

“How is it… possible?”

Nalan Xingde was scared out of his wits.

He could not understand at all why Ding Hao’s strength suddenly became so terrible. Ding Hao’s strength was even more incredible than when Nalan Xingde saw him in the Red Stone Manor. In such a short period of time, Ding Hao’s strength had improved by leaps and bounds. Did Ding Hao experience anything unusual in the Saint-alighting Mountain Range?

The Nalan family was facing the danger of being wiped out.

Boom!

Ding Hao punched out.

Nalan Xingde crossed his two swords in front of him to resist.

But in the next moment, he was attacked by a kind of overwhelming and horrible force. The two purple and cyan swords made a wailing sound and trembled for a while. Suddenly, with a bang, they turned into fragments all over the sky, flying like a swarm of butterflies.

“Urr… Poof!”

Nalan Xingde felt a sharp pain in his arms as if they were broken. The parts of his hands between his thumbs and index fingers were cracked. His hands which were bleeding were holding the bare sword hilts. His internal organs were hurt. He couldn’t help but raise his head and spit out a mouthful of blood. He was sent flying like a rag doll.

He couldn’t withstand a single blow.

After sending Nalan Xingde flying with one move, Ding Hao looked around and finally saw Nalan Chu’s stiff body enveloped in the cluster of silver light. The blood solidified around her corpse like a pool of water and it looked like blood-red amber.

“Chu…”

Ding Hao rushed to her corpse and took back the cluster of silver light. He reached out his hand and at once felt cold in his heart.

There was no breath at all.

She had completely lost her vitality and there was no possibility of coming back to life.

At this moment, Ding Hao’s mind went blank. He couldn’t believe that this gentle and kind little girl really died like this. He had rushed back all the way, but it was still too late. Nalan Chu had died!

Ding Hao stood still.

“Kill…” Seeing the situation, Madam Nalan suddenly launched a sneak attack. The woman wearing a phoenix hairpin looked a bit sinister, which did not match her noble temperament. With a sharp blue dagger in her palm, she instantly arrived behind Ding Hao like a ghost. She raised her hand and stabbed Ding Hao.

This woman had shocking strength. She seemed to be even more powerful than Nalan Xingde.

Ding Hao seemed to be petrified. He did not move at all.

A trace of cruelty and joy flashed in Madam Nalan’s eyes. The entire blue dagger was almost stuck in Ding Hao’s back.

“Haha, die!” Madam Nalan laughed loudly.

The blue dagger was a highly toxic blade. She had spent countless efforts collecting poisons and had refined the dagger with those poisons. The entire dagger was forged with strange poisons. Once it stabbed into the opponent’s body, it would instantly turn into a poison without an antidote, flowing to the limbs and bones in an instant. Even a master at the initial stage of the God Realm would find it difficult to resist this terrible poison and would be poisoned to death.

Refining such a dagger was extremely difficult. Madam Nalan had expended a lot of resources of the Nalan family. She only had one such dagger.

The dagger had pierced into Ding Hao’s back. In her heart, the overall situation had been settled.

Holding the handle of the dagger, she laughed madly.

However, Ding Hao seemed to feel no pain in the entire process. He bent down to pick up the poor little girl in front of him and let her hair stick to his chest tightly as if to pass his vitality to this disciple whose body was completely cold.

Madam Nalan’s wild laughter came to a sudden halt.

There was a look of shock on her face.

Why did this man seem to be fine after getting poisoned by her toxic dagger?

She was originally waiting to see Ding Hao’s expression of pain and fear when the poison took effect, but at this time, she had a bad feeling. She was about to activate the toxic dagger with a secret method to turn it into poison which would be scattered into Ding Hao’s limbs and bones, but at this moment—

Ding Hao suddenly turned around.

His eyes were shining with a light like that of dark lightning, which could prickle the skin.

Slap!

Ding Hao raised his hand and slapped Madam Nalan.

The slap seemed to be slow. Madam Nalan was greatly shocked and it was too late when she tried to avoid it. Half of her face was numb, and her vision went dark. She felt as if she had been hit in the head by a siege hammer. Stars danced before her eyes, and everything in her sight was blurry…

He slapped Madam Nalan violently in the face.

Blood spurted out.

Her teeth flew in the air.

This malevolent and vicious woman was sent flying by the slap.

Boom!

Madam Nalan’s body slammed into the stone wall of the secret chamber, which directly created a bottomless human-shaped hole. No one knew how badly she was hurt, but it was clear just how powerful this slap was.

“Nalan Xingde, get the hell over here!”

Ding Hao uttered one word after another loudly. He sounded furious and his fury was terrifying. He saw through the dust and gravel and his eyes fell on Nalan Xingde.

The latter’s expression changed dramatically.

Nalan Xingde knew that it was useless to say anything now.

The young man in front of him was as angry as a prehistoric ferocious beast. Nalan Chu’s death completely irritated this young man. Nalan Xingde’s previous plan was completely disrupted. Nalan Xingde did not expect that the young man would give up the immortal fate in the Saint-alighting Mountain Range for a lowly disciple and come back to this place.

Was this young man an idiot?

“I…” Nalan Xingde opened his mouth and was about to say something.

“Go to hell!” Ding Hao roared like a wounded beast. His terrible momentum was surging like an ocean. Smoke and dust flew in the air. A huge fist burst out of the smoke and dust as if thunder were striking!

Boom!

Nalan Xingde was sent flying again.

His arms were directly smashed into blood foam, and broken bones splashed. In an instant, he lost his two arms.

Nalan Xingde vomited blood and flew backward. His face was full of horror.

“Don’t…” He exclaimed.

Ding Hao did not allow him to explain at all. He followed Nalan Xingde like lightning and threw a punch. Nalan Xingde did not have time to dodge, and half of his body was blown up in an instant.

It was simply a crushing blow.

After all, Nalan Xingde was a God Realm Master, but in the face of the furious Ding Hao, he had no strength to fight back at all. In two moves, his body was broken so that he had lost the ability to fight.

“Don’t… don’t kill me! Show mercy!” Nalan Xingde shouted in horror.

Ding Hao’s palm had already been pressed against his chest. Ding Hao’s terrifying power was contained and not yet unleashed. Ding Hao’s angry face was almost pressed against Nalan Xingde’s. The former’s gaze was like a sword and his killing intent boiled as he questioned Nalan Xingde. “Did you show any mercy when you forced Chu to death?”

Nalan Xingde’s face was pale. He said, “She committed suicide herself. It had nothing to do with me…”

“Trash!” Ding Hao snorted contemptuously and instantly exerted strength in his palm.

Boom!

Nalan Xingde’s body was instantly blown up by this terrible force. His flesh and blood splashed. Only his head was left and it flew into the distance, falling into the Dragon Roar Heavenly Tactical Deployment that was wildly flashing.

Ding Hao was about to enter the tactical deployment, but at this moment—

Swoosh!

A gust of strong wind came from behind.

No one knew when Madam Nalan with disheveled hair and messy cheeks came out of the human-shaped hole. She quietly approached Ding Hao again and reached out to hold the blue dagger that was still inserted in Ding Hao’s back. She had activated the secret method with her hand.

“Haha, go to hell. How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am? How dare you hit me? I will poison you to death…” She laughed savagely like a shrew.
