Chapter 92 The Current Situation
Plop!
The man’s body collapsed to the ground.
A high-level dark expert, whose cultivation had reached the three-apertured Eternal Realm, was killed by Ding Hao in an instant as soon as he finished speaking.
A martial artist who had reached the Eternal Realm would not have died even if his head had been cut off and his body had turned into pieces of flesh. However, the power released by Ding Hao was raging in the man’s sea of consciousness when he stabbed him between the eyebrows. It even crushed his divine soul, making him die on the spot before he could resist.
If his divine soul was destroyed, even if his physical body was still intact, a martial artist of the Eternal Realm would not be able to survive.
“I can’t believe this!”
This was extremely shocking to Shentu and the others.
But Ding Hao didn’t bother with how they were feeling. After killing the man forcefully, he didn’t stop attacking and rushed out again. With a flash of Sword Light, the terrifying Sword Intent appeared again.
Endless horizontal and horizontal sword Qi whistled and rushed toward the seven of them in an extremely terrifying manner.
.....
Gritting their teeth, the seven men unleashed their strongest power, warding off the incoming Sword Intent that was coming at them.
Fire sparks burst out and explosions continued.
The aftershocks formed a ring and spread out in all directions.
The ground collapsed, the trees collapsed, and the mountains and rivers shattered.
By the time the attacks came to an end, the surroundings were already in a complete mess.
Even though it was like that, Shentu and the other six weren’t injured in the end.
“Let’s attack together!” Shentu and the others looked at each other. Knowing that they could not await their doom, they could only attack forcibly. Therefore, they stepped out at the same time, turned into shadows, and came to Ding Hao in an instant.
They took out all kinds of divine weapons and waved them at the same time.
At that moment, they unleashed all of their power without holding back in the slightest.
It was a power that transcended everything in the world. It pressed at Ding Hao head-on, shattering the mountains, rivers, and firmament.
Seven Eternal Realm fighters attacking at the same time was indeed terrifying.
Ding Hao took a step forward, and the gold and silver Yin and Yang Pisces Diagram appeared, enveloping him entirely. The cold ice sword vibrated and activated the power of everything, rus.h.i.+ng to the seven people with the rules of twisting light.
It was seven against one.
Attacks continued relentlessly as they fought to the death.
The void shook, the wind howled, the earth shattered, and the world changed.
The attacks from the eight experts were extremely terrifying. Even the slightest aftermath was enough to make the distant dark creatures panic, not daring to approach.
Cling! Cling! Cling!
A series of metal clangs were heard in the void, which sounded like rain hitting leaves one after another, like rising waves, one higher than the other.
Suddenly-
Poof!
A line of blood suddenly flashed within the battlefield, and then a figure was blasted flying from within before smas.h.i.+ng heavily onto the ground. After that, the figure stopped breathing.
This man was one of the seven dark experts.
Like the first man, he had a b.l.o.o.d.y wound between his eyebrows, and his divine soul was forcefully crushed by Ding Hao.
After a while, another expert died. He flew out of the battlefield and fell to the ground before he was dead.
Ding Hao had killed three experts successively.
He was more and more likely to win while Shentu and his companions were at a disadvantage.
The crus.h.i.+ng battle continued.
After more than a dozen moves, Ding Hao killed another person.
After dozens of moves, another man was killed by Ding Hao.
In this way, Ding Hao killed six people in succession.
Among the dark experts, only Shentu and Seli were still alive.
Shentu was panting, and his pupils were full of fear. He looked at Ding Hao in horror.
Seli’s expression was the same. He looked even more frightened.
They thought that it would be no problem for the eight of them to kill this man together, but they didn’t expect that one of them would be quickly killed by him at the beginning, and then this went on.
Up until now, only the two of them remained. How could they not be shocked?
At this moment, when Shentu and Seli saw seven faint light spots in Ding Hao’s pupils, they felt as if they were looking at a G.o.d or a Devil. They no longer had the fighting desire they had before, let alone the idea of defeating Ding Hao.
They only felt that this man was too horrifying at the moment and had the idea of retreating.
However, they were still a little hesitant, because they could not disobey Lord Ding Tong’s orders. Even if they wanted to escape, it would not be so easy. After all, Ding Hao was there.
When they were struggling, unexpectedly, Ding Hao suddenly said, “You are no match for me. Even if you forcibly fight with me, it is only a matter of time before I kill you. But this time, I can let you two go…”
Hearing this, Shentu and Seli were stunned. Ding Hao actually said that he would let them go. This was something that they had never expected.
While they were stunned, the seven light spots in Ding Hao’s eyes gradually dissipated. After returning to normal, Ding Hao continued, “But you have to take those people out of the Charm Region. At the same time, tell Ding Tong that I will find him sooner or later. Ask him to wait for me. The next time I see him, I will definitely kill him.”
When his voice was still lingering in their ears, Ding Hao had disappeared in front of them.
Ding Hao disappeared for a long time, but Shentu and Seli were still in a daze as if they had not yet reacted.
In the end, Shentu finally returned to his senses and sighed. “Prepare to withdraw.”
“But if we evacuate just like that, how should we explain it to Lord Ding Tong? If he blames us, we…” Seli was a little hesitant.
“How should we explain it? Humph, of course, we have to tell the truth…” Shentu glared at him and continued, “We have taken action. What’s more, we are indeed no match for that man. Even if we attack him forcibly, we will only fail. If we retreat now, there will be no problem. How can Lord Ding Tong blame us…”
“That’s true…” Seli suddenly understood.
…
The reason why Ding Hao let them go was not that he suddenly became kind, but that those dark creatures were too large in number and had no spiritual intelligence. They would only listen to the high-level creatures. That was why Ding Hao left Shentu and Seli alive and let them evacuate the army.
Otherwise, once those ordinary dark creatures were not restrained, their true nature would be exposed. Like demonic beasts that had lost their minds, they would slaughter ordinary creatures everywhere.
Of course, if Ding Hao wanted to, he could kill all these ordinary dark creatures. But in this case, it would take him a lot of time. Moreover, his main target was Ding Tong. The dark army was not his priority to settle the problems.
As for the reason why he spoke these words after killing six people, it was because he knew that if he weren’t aggressive enough and didn’t make the other party notice that they had no chance of victory, then it would be utterly impossible for him to make the other party withdraw.
Ding Hao returned to the imperial palace. Seeing that he was fine, the people of the Charm Tribe breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing what he said, they were naturally surprised.
A few days later, according to the spies’ reports, the dark army had indeed retreated.
When the news came out, all the people of the Charm Tribe were naturally very excited. They were even more grateful to Ding Hao and thanked him profusely.
Merely, the crowd had not been excited for long. When they thought that they would be able to relax for some time, a man appeared and brought them another piece of news, which caused them to feel heavy-hearted once again.
The man who brought this news was none other than the patriarch of the Evil Yang Tribe, Xing Mo.
“I have bad news for you. I want to inform you of it,” Xing Mo said with a heavy heart. “A few days ago, a dark army suddenly appeared in various regions, causing chaos in the world. Many tribes were in great pain, and there were unusual movements among our nine major tribes. The atmosphere became tense…
“And one day, that dark force suddenly broke out and invaded all the places. Countless small tribes and even big tribes fell one after another.”
What Xing Mo said made everyone’s hearts sink again.
Their previous guess was right.
The dark force not only existed in the Charm Tribe but also in other regions, which was terrible.
“How is the overall situation now?” Ding Hao asked with a gloomy face.
The others also turned their eyes back to Xing Mo.
Now, the most important thing was to know what had happened between the major tribes after the appearance of the dark force, as well as how big it was. Only by knowing oneself and the enemy would it be beneficial to their future actions.
Xing Mo sighed and said slowly, “Now, the relations.h.i.+p between the nine major tribes in the Primordial World has changed a little because of the appearance of this force…
“Originally, although there were constant conflicts between the nine major tribes, and sometimes some small wars broke out between them, it was only a problem between one tribe and another. It did not involve other tribes. However, since the appearance of that dark force, it was the first time that the nine major tribes had split up.
“There has been no news about the tribes that have been on good terms with our Evil Yang Tribe, and they are even hostile to us. According to our previous news, they are very likely to have fallen and become members of the dark force.”
“If that’s the case, then we’re in trouble.” This was what Qin Menglan first thought of. “Every tribe has enormous power that can affect the world. If too many tribes fall and become our enemy forces, we will fall into danger. Let alone counterattack, it’s very likely that we’ll be devoured instead…”
Everyone was shocked.
Indeed, every tribe was extremely powerful. Usually, because of mutual restraint, there had never been any division or wars between more than three tribes. But once a force fell and became a member of the dark force, then the dark force would instantly expand, and the scale of the war would also expand countless times.
The dark force that could only threaten the Charm Tribe was already very terrifying. If what Qin Menglan said was the case, then what awaited everyone would be their doom.
.....
After hearing the news from Xing Mo, Ding Hao and the others soon understood the seriousness of the matter.
What made Ding Hao a little relieved was that the Nine Spirits Tribe had not fallen.
Perhaps after experiencing the previous incident, their tribe had become more united so that they could resist the invasion of the dark force.
Of course, this was only Ding Hao’s guess. Ding Hao had to go to the Spirit Region to know the real situation.
“So, in addition to the Charm Tribe, your Evil Yang Tribe, and the Nine Spirits Tribe, how many tribes have been devoured by the dark force, or which tribe has not fallen…” Ding Hao looked at Xing Mo and asked the question he was most concerned about.
