Nine Yang Sword Saint

Only after he had escaped to a desolated valley, which was about tens of kilometers away from the Divine Weapons Manor, had Yang Dingtian felt that he was safe enough to collapse onto the ground and finally take a break.

Seriously though, he really lost half of his soul back there. What he did just then was nothing less than walking on the edge of h.e.l.l.

As he laid on the ground, Yang Dingtian searched hard for his breath and realized that he was too tired to move even just a bit. He could really feel how precious life was at this moment.

He had finally gotten away from having his life endangered, and the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer was also his now.

d.a.m.n!

Even after lying on the ground for ten whole minutes, Yang Dingtian still couldn"t muster any strength in his body.

“Oh my, just look at yourself,” Dugu Fengwu smiled sarcastically, “I wouldn"t expect to see such terror from a grown man like you!”

Yang Dingtian became so irritated that he didn"t know what to say in response. After all, if it weren"t for all the things Dugu Fengwu did back then, there was just no way Yang Dingtian would"ve gotten into so much danger. Seriously, the way she taunted him just now was anything but decent.

Yet, despite all the anger that Yang Dingtian bore towards Dugu Fengwu, he still hadn"t forgotten to be thankful for the fact that Dugu Fengwu had now lost all her mystic qi. In other words, she had virtually no power over him whatsoever.

Yang Dingtian blessed the heavens in his mind, “Oh, dear Almighty! If it weren"t for luck, I would"ve never gotten the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer, let alone escape from the claws of this crazy demon woman!”

Lucky as he might be, though, Yang Dingtian knew he had to hurry up and reach the Fire Cloud Devil Cave before Dugu Fengwu fully recovered her strength. There was less than three days before the grade nine inferno was completely extinguished, and three days was roughly the amount of time Yang Dingtian needed to reach the Fire Cloud Devil Cave.

Speaking of which, since the Fire Cloud Devil Cave was located on a desolated island out in the ocean, Yang Dingtian also needed a boat to get to his destination.

“Prepare yourself, demon woman,” Yang Dingtian quickly got up from the ground and looked towards Dugu Fengwu, while stripping off his robe.

“So, are you going to kill me now?” Dugu Fengwu asked emotionlessly.

“No. You"re powerless now, so there is no need for me to be scared of you.” Yang Dingtian replied as he took off his mask, revealing his real appearance. He was ready to pack up and leave this place.

Then, almost effortlessly, Yang Dingtian took a pill out of his pocket and shoved it in Dugu Fengwu"s mouth.

“What did you just feed me?” Dugu Fengwu gasped in shock.

Yang Dingtian explained, “Don"t worry, it"s just a pill that"ll make you sleep for a few days. By the time you wake up, I"ll be out of this place and away from you for good. You see, I"ll be done crafting my youngling sword before you can get to me.”

It didn"t take much time for the pill to take effect on Dugu Fengwu. Within no time, she had lost the strength to even stand still in front of Yang Dingtian and quickly pa.s.sed out on the ground.

Seeing how vulnerable Dugu Fengwu had become, Yang Dingtian decided that it was best to carry her to somewhere sheltered, even though there was n.o.body around this area.

“So, you"ve drugged me,” Dugu Fengwu gritted her teeth as her eyes were already half-closed from sleepiness, “I"ll tear you into pieces once I regain consciousness.”

“Ha, we"ll see about that when the time comes!” Yang Dingtian laughed out loudly, then started to remember something, “Come to think of it, isn"t this the perfect time for a little payback?”

Smack.

Almost instinctively, Yang Dingtian raised his palm and gave Dugu Fengwu a loud spank on her ripe, plump b.u.t.t.

“H-How dare you,” Dugu Fengwu called out in a pitch way higher than her normal voice. While she was still under the effect of the sleeping pill, the embarra.s.sment alone was enough to make her sleepiness vanish for some time.

“How dare what? You think this is the worst I can do?” Yang Dingtian said indifferently.

Having found a hole nearby, Yang Dingtian dropped the vulnerable Dugu Fengwu in it and soon jumped in with her.

Having found a secret hole where n.o.body could find them, Yang Dingtian started touching every part of Dugu Fengwu"s body that he felt like touching. He began rubbing and pinching her thighs, then her b.u.t.t, then the b.r.e.a.s.t.s, the cheeks, the nose.

After touching every part that he felt like touching, Yang Dingtian concluded that Dugu Fengwu"s b.u.t.t was definitely the most attractive part of her, and with that in mind, took off her pants and gave a couple of loud smacks to her pale, round bosom.

Within a matter of a few seconds, Dugu Fengwu"s ripe b.u.t.tock was already red from all that smacking that Yang Dingtian gave her.

“What"s this?” Yang Dingtian pinched hard onto Dugu Fengwu"s b.u.t.t, “Oh wow, I didn"t know your b.u.t.t would swell when you slap it! I"ve sort of expected it"d be stone-cold, just like your heart!”

Both enraged and embarra.s.sed at the same time, Dugu Fengwu could no longer stay calm. “Pieces, Yang Dingtian,” she said in a shaky voice as she tried to hold it in, “I"ll shred you into pieces no matter what it takes…”

“You want my blood so badly already, so what difference does it make? As far as I"m concerned, it makes more sense if I make the most out of this opportunity,” Yang Dingtian smiled maliciously, then gave another ten more hits to Dugu Fengwu"s b.u.t.t.

“Kill me. Kill me! Yang Dingtian!” Dugu Fengwu called out in exasperation.

“Can"t take it anymore? I thought you were stronger than this, Miss Dugu,” Yang Dingtian sneered and squeezed her chin with his hand, “Come on, pretty girl, give your daddy a smile!”

“Remember this, remember this, Yang Dingtian! What you"ve done to me today, I"ll return it to you ten times, a hundred times more when I can!” Dugu Fengwu said in a shaky voice but was immediately silenced by a violent kiss to her mouth.

“Oh?” Yang Dingtian licked his mouth like a pervert after stealing the kiss, “Does the ten-times payback include this? I"ll be all for it if that"s what you"re offering to me…”

While momentarily s.h.i.+fting his gaze between Dugu Fengwu"s eyes and her body, Yang Dingtian paused for a bit before continuing to speak.”

“Listen here. I"m a married man, and I love my wife very much. If it weren"t for that, I would"ve defiled you right here and now. Since that"s what everyone believes now, it"s only fair if I make it real, right?”

“I"ll end you, Yang Dingtian! I swear it!” Dugu Fengwu shrieked, her beautiful eyes were completely red by this point.

“Really? I told you that I"m not going to do anything to you, and you still want my life? Fine, I"ll make sure I have enough fun with you then.”

After a few gentle slaps on Dugu Fengwu"s cheek, Yang Dingtian started making her do funny faces with his hands.

He tried pulling her nose to make a pig face, tried squeezing her mouth to make a chicken face, and tried mus.h.i.+ng her face together as you would to a play-doh-dough. To sum it up, whatever expression Yang Dingtian could think of, he made Dugu Fengwu do it.

Dugu Fengwu was very reluctant at the start, of course, but after a while, the screaming and cursing suddenly stopped. Eventually, all she was doing was just staring at Yang Dingtian.

All of a sudden, Yang Dingtian felt a wet sensation on his palms. After realizing it, he looked down on his hands and saw that his hands were full of blood.

It turned out that the blood was coming from Dugu Fengwu"s lip, which was bleeding because she was biting into it as hard as she could, and judging by how pale her pretty face was, this was really, perhaps, the most humiliating moment of her life.

Yang Dingtian really did a number on her. He didn"t expect it at all before, and there were even tiny drops of tears coming out of her eyes.

Shocked to see such a strong reaction from Dugu Fengwu, Yang Dingtian immediately stopped all the bullying that he was doing to her.

“Uh!” Yang Dingtian said after pausing for a bit, “Sorry. I guess I shouldn"t make fun of you like that.”

Dugu Fengwu still didn"t say anything. In fact, blood was still pouring out of her mouth as she was still biting into her own lip with all the strength that she had.

That"s right.

Dugu Fengwu was angry when she had learned that Yang Dingtian had defiled her, but she was not sad at all. She also didn"t feel an ounce of sorrow when she had lost all her mystic qi.

But being played around like this? For someone like her, who was supposed to be strongest of the strongest, the future leader of the devils, and the genuine heir of the witch, even the smallest tease was an offense far worse than having her life taken away from her. This was why she could not tolerate something like this at all.

Yang Dingtian kept on explaining himself, “Well, you see, I was on the brink of death back then. I was getting a little jumpy, and that"s the only reason I did those things to you.”

Dugu Fengwu still didn"t say anything.

Seeing that talking was of no use here, Yang Dingttian helped Dugu Fengwu putting her pants back on.

“I guess I"ll go now,” Yang Dingtian said as he was done, “You should be waking up in a few days. I"ve put a special ointment on you that"ll protect you from the animals. I"ll say my farewells to you then. See you. Wait, I mean, never see you again.” Then, without a pause, Yang Dingtian turned his head and left.

“Yang Dingtian,” Dugu Fengwu suddenly spoke out while Yang Dingtian could still hear her.

“You saw my tears. You saw the weak side of me, and that"s a hundred, a thousand times worse than seeing my naked body. So I"ll say this now: kill me now if you"re smart enough, or else I"ll definitely kill you the next time I see you.”

When someone says something like that with such a calm voice, you know they are serious about it.

Yang Dingtian knew that, of course, and the best course of action for him was, without a doubt, kill Dugu Fengwu right here and now. But after looking at her for a while, Yang Dingtian only said one thing, “Sorry, but I can"t do it.” And with that, Yang Dingtian left.

Without ever looking back.

After he was gone from Dugu Fengwu"s sight, Yang Dingtian quickly took out a mask from his ring of storage and changed his appearance once again. He then changed into a new set of cloth and before continuing on with his journey, and placed his Mystic Fire Devil Hammer and the Hidden Sect"s sword in his ring of storage.

Now that he had hidden in his disguise, n.o.body could tell that Yang Dingtian was the fake disciple of the Hidden Sect.

Back to Dugu Fengwu.

A while after Yang Dingtian had left her, the pill was starting to take its full effect and make her lose her consciousness completely.

However, just as Dugu Fengwu was about to close her eyes and accept her defeat, an overwhelming power started channeling through her body, and it miraculously destroyed the effect of Yang Dingtian"s pill.

Shaken by this change in her body, Dugu Fengwu instantly got herself up. Those weak-spirited eyes of her, which reflected her state of mind just then, were now relaxed and calm, and even murderous.

It appeared that she had regained her mystic qi before she was about to fall into the days-long slumber that Yang Dingtian had prepared for her.

With a stare that could pierce the winds, Dugu Fengwu picked up her sword and looked at Yang Dingtian"s direction. If she had the will to, which she definitely did, it wouldn"t take long before she could hunt down the man who she so desperately wanted to kill.

Yet, despite having all the reasons to chase Yang Dingtian down right away, Dugu Fengwu stood still where she was and revealed a deadly smile.

“A few days, Yang Dingtian,” Dugu Fengwu whispered in Yang Dingtian"s direction, “I"ll wait for you at the Fire Cloud Devil Cave and spare your life for a few more days. You"d have to get the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl out by that time then. Revenge is a dish best served cold. I"ll wait for my revenge until I can make the most of it.”

“After I take the pearl from you, Yang Dingtian, I"ll make sure you die in the most painful way possible. You"ll beg for your life, and I"ll deny you. You"ll beg for a quick death; however, I"ll take all the time I can to make sure I can squeeze all the pain out of your soul before it is free of its suffering!”

Swish.

As Dugu Fengwu slashed the air with her sword, all the trees and rocks within almost a hundred meters in front of her were blown into dust.

After she was done testing her strength, Dugu Fengwu leaped from the ground and, before falling down, materialized a pair of wings on her back and began heading towards the direction of the Fire Cloud Devil Cave.

…

After three days of traveling through the ocean, Yang Dingtian"s boat had reached a giant volcanic island by the beach. Over the distance, clearly, was a gigantic volcano, unlike anything he had seen before.

From what Yang Dingtian had heard, the top opening of that volcano was supposed to be the entrance to the Fire Cloud Devil Cave.

“Finally,” Yang Dingtian sighed in relief.

For a little heads-up, the Fire Cloud Devil Cave was located in the west, which got its name because it was technically at the western edge of the Land of Chaos.

Despite being a very isolated place, the island was actually pretty famous for having the biggest active volcano in all of the northwest continent, peaking at about several tens of thousands of meters tall.

According to Yang Dingtian"s teacher, the great Dongfang Niemie, this volcano was still active and erupted once every decade.

When this gigantic volcano erupts, the lava that bursts out of it can rise as high as the volcano itself. So, even if you are a horizon away from it, you can still see the flame as it reaches to the sky.

A few centuries ago, this island was very tiny. But after every volcanic eruption in its history, the solidified magma and ashes that were produced continued to produce more surface when they stretch out and cool down. After a millennium of such repet.i.tive activities, the island now had an area of several thousand square kilometers.

A hundred years ago, the volcano that erupted once every decade suddenly became dormant. Although some people thought that was weird, most didn"t care too much because they knew volcano was supposed to be unpredictable.

However, only a few knew what was actually happening, and the fact was that the volcano had never stopped erupting once every decade. The only difference in place was that the eruption was now completely underground, rather than occurring upward like it did in the past.

The impression between a visible and an invisible volcanic eruption is undoubtedly very different, but the frightening energy level they produce… Well, let"s just say that you wouldn"t be able to tell the difference if you can measure them.

The beach was about a hundred miles away from the volcano, and without a doubt, there was no footpath in-between. This meant the only way to reach the Fire Cloud Devil Cave was to pa.s.s straight through the forest.

Tired as he might be, Yang Dingtian was feeling more enthusiastic the more he reached towards the volcano. After all, he was finally going to craft his very own youngling sword.

“The Fire Cloud Devil Cave. The great inferno. My own youngling sword. Whatever it is, here I come!” Yang Dingtian called out in excitement, “Sorry, demon woman, I guess your precious flame is all mine now! Enjoy your sleep while I am at it!”

Unbeknownst to Yang Dingtian, Dugu Fengwu was already sitting on top of the volcano, watching over him with her cold, s.a.d.i.s.tic smile.

“I"ll make you learn the taste of regret, Yang Dingtian! After no time, you"ll know what it"s like to have your hope turn into despair!”
