Chapter 398 Battle
“One Legged Ox Demon King, you’re courting death. How dare you come and kill someone from my Leiyin Sect.” Ninth Heaven Thunder Dragon could not help sitting down already. He slammed the table and his entire body emanated light; he had a formidable presence.
Heaven Wind Devil Girl, Xia Nishang, her expression looked slightly sickened.
The appearance of the both of them signified giving the Leiyin Sect face. Currently, one of their disciples had actually been murdered. That was akin to slapping the Leiyin Sect in the face. How were they to regain their dignity in front of so many people?
However, if they truly took action then, even though the Double Wind and Lightning had a great reputation, facing those two experts from the Demon King realm, their powers were still slightly limited and they had no choice but to put up with it for the moment, to see what the young experts from the other sects thought.
On the other side.
Ding Hao was secretly rather surprised.
Only until the disciple from the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Mountain had arrived to pay his respects did Ding Hao realize that most of the great sects had already received the news that last year, the Deity Phoenix who rose in the past year was actually among the ten demon kings. And those young experts who had appeared there were all fulfilling the orders of the great sects, having gone to meet the two Demon Kings there.
But Ding Hao was puzzled. How could those great sects even be so clear about where those two Demon Kings were, and knew about that tavern? Something was not quite right.
Could it be that those two Demon Kings had stupidly set themselves to court death by going there?
But the place was, after all, the territory of the Human Tribe. In that period of time, not only had the experts from the sect gathered together; even the envoy from the Northern Black Snow Deity Court would also descend upon this place. Even though experts from the Demon King were scary, in the face of so many experts from the Human Tribe, it would be tough for them to escape easily; why would they want to court death by going there?
Matters looked slightly fishy.
But under the present circ.u.mstances, Ding Hao did not have much time to think about the details.
Because in the next moment, Heart-cleansing Sword Feng Xingyue had already started his attack. With the whistling of the sword cleaving the clouds, the sword formed various thin lines in the air and attacked in the direction of the One Legged Ox Demon King who had the appearance of the One-Legged boy.
Feng Xingyue had the t.i.tle “Heart-cleansing Sword”. And it was evidently used to tell his talent in sword techniques. His one blow seemed effortless and did not expend fire vital force. It glimmered like a star and was silent, yet it arrested the human soul—clearly, it was very mystifying.
It was said that Feng Xingyue originated from a middle-sized merchant group. His parents were both owners of the merchant group and it was considered a family business. Hence, all his worldly needs of food and clothing were not a problem before he was three years old. The tragedy happened on his third birthday.
Luckily, at that same time, the puppet Head from the Ming Xin sword clan had pa.s.sed by and realized the aberration. He killed the big demon and lent a helping hand. Only in that manner did Feng Xingyue get to escape unscathed. Later, Feng Xingyue displayed his talent, and had become first in the Ming Xin sword sect, causing a great surprise to the Snow Province.
And it was precisely because of such a background that Feng Xingyue hated the Demon Tribe to the bone. In the past, it was him to had given the first blow. At the moment, he was going to strike the first blow too. Clearly, he had lethal intentions from the start.
“Haha, little doll, you can’t wait to make the first move, can you?” One Legged Ox Demon King laughed and he crossed his legs, sitting gently on the floor. A miasma of demonic qi wafted out from him, then a cyan light appeared like spots on the wall, beside him. With a “ding”, it blocked the first attack from Feng Xingyue.
Feng Xingyue snorted and his left palm hit the sword hilt vigorously.
A mighty force broke out, and the sword flame in his hand suddenly increased. The sword finally pierced the blue light wall, then the sword’s point was concentrated and turned into a white light, toward the area in between the eyebrows of the demon king.
One Legged Ox Demon King’s expression did not change. He still sat in his original place, and the cyan demonic qi beside him was like a substance; even the air had begun to congeal.
Feng Xingyue’s sword light was like a snail entering into a swamp. It became slower and slower, slower and slower, until in the end, it had turned into the look of the longsword. And one could only look at how the sword blade carried a silver glimmer; even the tip of the sword had rubbed out a spark. Originally, it was as bright as the Limpid Autumn Water of the sword’s body. It was like a fire that had become redder and redder and had almost melted.
The sword tip was slowly introduced.
Eventually, within an inch of touching the One Legged Ox Demon King’s between the eyebrows, it stopped and did not press on further.
The two of them froze momentarily.
“Boom!”
A strong force rippled and expanded out, like the wind, and darted in all four directions.
Swis.h.!.+
The four beams in the great hall of the small tavern could not support such a blast wave. With a crunching sound, they split in the middle and before falling onto the ground, they were hurled by this strong qi, and they splintered, pieces flying everywhere like meteors.
And the consequence of the beams splintering was naturally, the collapse of the entire tavern.
The crowds who had gathered outside could not help but take several steps backwards. And the splinters that came in their direction were like a tsunami and seemed to have engulfed the hundreds of people who were at the front. There were still noises and shouting during the process, as the large wood splinters seemed to have become like flying arrows, and they pierced skins and cut out b.l.o.o.d.y holes in them.
A cloud that was shaped like a mushroom had been shot into the air.
There were cries and shouts of people beating each other up.
One Legged Ox Demon King and Heart-cleansing Sword seemed to have started fighting against each other.
The destructive power of that battle between the experts was simply terrifying. Even when One Legged Ox and Heart-cleansing Sword did not tamper with their vital force deliberately; the ripples that were formed occasionally brought its own destructive power. In the blink of an eye, around ten over people in the crowd who had stood too much at the front had been obliterated into dust.
“Everyone, please make way!”
Ding Hao’s voice wafted out from the dust.
He promptly sat up and clenched the void in his hand when a rusty sword appeared, and the sword trembled. “Drawing the ground as a prisoner”—those four words emerged from the void, s.h.i.+ning with the scent of silver frost. These are the inscriptions of his Chinese characters, and the words carried with them a strange atmosphere. When they appeared, they communicated a certain mysterious law between heaven and earth. Thereafter, a flash of light flashed, and the four words turned into lightning and fell to the east of the collapsed tavern.
The sword in Ding Hao’s hand refused to stop. Like walking dragons, the sword was like a painting. In the void, it carved out twelve letters.
Impenetrable fortress.
Behind bars.
Water to cover the soil.
Every single idiom was like Drawing the Ground,
At that moment when the last word had been spoken, a silvery and cold light shot up into the skies from all four directions. It engulfed the entire vicinity of the tavern and obliterated the ripples created in the battle between the two great martial arts experts. It destroyed the side of the whole lake, in order to prevent the destructive power of the battle from expanding.
Another blast occurred.
And what was even more terrifying was how a qi strength quickly erupted in all four directions.
