Chapter 516 Ding Hao’s Rage
A clear conversation was heard.
Ding Hao’s pupils shrank.
“So it’s a murder plot against me?!”
“Demon Aura surged and filled the cave. It seems that there must be demon experts among this group of people.”
“In this case, Didn’t Ji Yingnan die in my place?”
“At that moment, the ‘Leiluo Heavenly Spider’s Slaying Gossamer’ was suddenly launched without warning, I didn’t even notice it myself. It could be seen how terrible this formation was. Judging from the tone of these people, the ‘Leiluo Heavenly Spider’s Slaying Gossamer’ is formidable. If I fell into that fatal trap, I would have definitely died!”
“I didn’t kill him, but he died because of me!”
Strong guilt welled up in Ding Hao’s heart. He could no longer suppress his killing intent. His cold and ruthless eyes flashed. He left the unconscious Ji Yingqi, on the spot; Fat Cat and Adorable stayed to take good care of her. He quietly began to make arrangements. He wanted to kill all those people; no one could escape. He would spare no one!
Someone ahead discovered that something was wrong and exclaimed loudly, “No, this person doesn’t look like Ding Hao!”
“Haha, don’t make a fuss about it. After falling for this attack, even G.o.ds would be cut into pieces. You can still recognize that he is not Ding Hao?”
“Spider Emperor, please don’t misunderstand me. I don’t mean that. Let me explain. Ding Hao has always been in a green robe, because he was from the Eastern Academy of green s.h.i.+rts of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect. This person was dressed in a white robe. Although he has been cut into pieces, his face can still be vaguely seen. Moreover, Ding Hao’s weapon is not a long sword of this quality!” It was a female voice that said this.
“How could it be? We had already arranged it very carefully. It shouldn’t be anyone else!” the other man said.
“d.a.m.n it, it’s not Ding Hao, he’s not Ding Hao…” Someone finally confirmed.
Another person exclaimed, “Oh no, since the one who died is not Ding Hao, where is Ding Hao exactly?”
A group of masters and experts who had surrounded the blood pool exclaimed one after another. At this time, they finally recognized that the person who had been killed by the trap was not Ding Hao. The fatal attack had failed and they suddenly became nervous.
“I’m right here!”
A sound full of killing intent rang out behind them.
Before the humanoid demonic lion who had spoken first could react, he felt a chill in his chest. When he looked down, a rusty long sword had pierced through his heart, spilling his pale silver blood in the process. He cried out in horror, but before he could react, his body was smashed into a b.l.o.o.d.y mist with a boom!
A voice full of fear screamed, “It’s Ding Hao!”
This was the voice that Ding Hao was extremely familiar with.
Lu Xianr.
Lu Xianr, the vicious girl from the Tranquility Academy.
“It’s you!” Ding Hao appeared.
Ding Hao felt her voice was a bit familiar when he heard her female voice previously.
After shattering the demon expert with his sword, Ding Hao removed the blood from the rusted sword. With a cold expression, he stared at Lu Xianr, gritted his teeth and said, “As a disciple of the Tranquility Academy, you would at least count as a human. How could you collude with the Demon Clan and kill your compatriots? You are really self-conceited and hopeless. I should have killed you in the Western Rock Mountain Range that day, so you wouldn’t be able to hurt people like this.”
Lu Xianr stepped back step by step with fear on her face.
After she had hid behind several experts of the Demon Race and Human Race, she screamed angrily, “It’s me. So what? Haha, Ding Hao, have you forgotten? As I said, you have to pay the price. Anyone who provokes me will die. With so many experts coming for you, you can’t escape!”
After saying that, Lu Xianr suddenly calmed down. “Yes, so many masters of the Human Clan and the Demon Clan are here. No matter how powerful Ding Hao is, what can he do? In the end, he still has to die. What am I afraid of?” She thought.
Ding Hao ignored that crazy woman.
His eyes swept across those people’s faces like a bolt of lightning piercing through the void.
He was familiar with some of the demon experts present.
One of them was as black as a bear, with a black demon aura rolling as if it were tangible. He held a long spear made of beast bone in his hand. He was exactly Demon Emperor Bear, the most powerful in the “Demon Valley” who was defeated by Ding Hao in the battle at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. The other one was handsome, just like a scholar, with an evil spirit in his eyes. It was Demon Royal with Evil Heart.
The two Demon Royals had been seriously injured before, but they seemed to have recovered well, especially Demon Emperor Bear. It seemed that he had used some secret treasures to recover after his body had been cut into pieces by Ding Hao.
Their eyes were full of hatred and viciousness, and they stared at Ding Hao coldly.
There was a stout man with a rolling demon aura standing among them.
There was nothing special about this man other than that he was slightly fat. The true strange thing was his face—an incredible round face with three pairs of green eyes. They almost covered his entire face. There were no pupils in his dark green eyes, which looked like six dark green abysses that could devour the souls of all living creatures.
There was no nose or mouth on his face, which was very strange.
The six-eyed demon expert’s aura was not weaker than that of the Demon Royal with Evil Heart and the Demon Royal Bear. He obviously was at the realm of Demon Royal as well.
In addition to the demon experts, there were also six or seven human experts.
Ding Hao did not know those people.
However, from the clothes, it could be faintly seen that they were experts from the Black Evil Sect.
Among the human experts, there was another one who caught Ding Hao’s attention.
This was a curvaceous woman who was even more beautiful than Lu Xianr. Her red long hair hung down to her waist, and there was a flame mark between her eyebrows. Her charming appearance was revealed in her almond-shaped eyes. She wore low-cut clothes which revealed her ample bosom. Her thin waist was exposed in the cold air. Her navel was inlaid with an exotic red gem. Her red armor only protected the root of her thigh. Her fine and slender legs were exposed in the air, which were very attractive.
This woman was like a captivating flame. Her strength was unfathomable. She might also be in the Martial Emperor Realm. She had never appeared in “the Highest Heaven” before, and she was very mysterious.
In addition to Lu Xianr, there was a young man whose strength was probably at the realm of Primordial Grandmaster, also from the Tranquility Academy. Right then, he was scared out of his wits. His face was pale; he was s.h.i.+vering while he hid behind other strong people, not daring to look Ding Hao in the eye.
“Ding Hao, you didn’t expect that we would wait for you here!”
“Hehe, don’t expect that strength can solve everything. Your base is still too weak. Even if you have excellent talent, so what? You are destined to die before rising. Today, we will send you to h.e.l.l!”
Demon Royal with Evil Heart and Demon Royal Bear did not hide their killing intent at all.
“A group of defeated men, how dare you talk big,” Ding Hao said without taking them seriously at all, “The previous injuries were severe. How could it be so easy for them to recover? The real threat is the six-eyed Demon Royal and the strange woman in red,” Ding Hao thought.
“Tell me your names one by one, so I can send you to h.e.l.l!”
Ding Hao alone confronted more than 20 opponents. He turned the tables and approached them step by step.
He slowly opened his arms; the rusted sword and Wen Qing Saber appeared in his hands. The Heaven Fire Qi in his upper dantian and the h.e.l.l Ice Qi in his lower dantian were activated at the same time. The ninety-six apertures in his body were activated at the same time; ice and fire, the two kinds of Qi were manifested on his body. Half of it was silver and the other half was yellow. He was like a demon G.o.d who was about to start killing.
“I hate guys who are more arrogant than I am,” Six-eyed man sneered and said, “Little guy, you’ll die today.”
“There are too many people who want to kill me, but unfortunately, they all die in the end.” Ding Hao targeted the demon expert, deciding to kill him first.
“Hey, little guy, do you think that by luckily dodging my ‘Leiluo Heavenly Spider’s Slaying Gossamer’ then you can survive? This is already the seventh section of the West Journey through the Ancient Road. With the suppression of the Innate Law, it’s difficult for you to go against the law and challenge people higher than your rank. Today, let me behead you and smash the legend of the ‘Saber and Sword Addict!’”
Then the six-eyed fat man was eager to act.
The voice which sounded like the clas.h.i.+ng of metals came from his paunchy belly. Six green eyes flowed with glamorous green lights. He stared at Ding Hao like a spider staring at its prey who had been trapped in the web.
“Leiluo Spider Emperor?” Ding Hao raised his sword-shaped eyebrows and said, “So, you turned out to be a low-cla.s.s spider monster who set up the killing formation. Well, then, I’ll kill you first!”
Before his voice had died away.
“Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+” Four streaks of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter Sword Qi cut through the void, leaving deep cracks in the ground. Then they darted toward the Leiluo Spider Emperor!
“Haha, about time. Others are afraid of you, but I’m not. If I had been present in the battle of Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, how would I allow you, a childish b.a.s.t.a.r.d, to make a name for yourself?”
The Leiluo Spider Emperor burst out laughing.
Before he had finished his words.
Suddenly, streams of green light started gus.h.i.+ng out from the six eyes. Their strange power clashed with Ding Hao’s Sword Intent, as if metals were colliding. Finally the green light blocked the four Sword Intents!
“Really? You can give it a shot!”
Before he had finished speaking, Ding Hao appeared in front of him like a ghost.
The sword radiance was hanging upside down like the Milky Way, and the cold light flashed away.
The “Leiluo Spider Emperor” pulled his hands in the air. Ding Hao only felt his wrists tighten and the recoil force came. The rusted sword suddenly stopped in the air as if there were an invisible wall. It could not move any further.
After taking a closer look…
There were countless thin and fine silver threads tangled between the hands of the Leiluo Spider Emperor, blocking the rusted sword in the air.
“Haha, little guy, you’re too naive. My ‘Leiluo Heavenly Spider’s Slaying Gossamer’ is the possession of a Demon G.o.d from ancient times. It can even cut apart a G.o.d’s body. How can an ordinary rusted sword be able to hurt me?”
The Leiluo Spider Emperor burst out laughing.
While speaking, he made a circle with his hands and entangled the rusted sword with an invisible spider web. He pulled it suddenly and shouted, “Break it!”
He was going to use the web to cut off the weapon.
“Let’s see which one will break!” Ding Hao did not retreat. Instead, he activated his Qi, exerted force on his wrist, and chopped down.
“Boom!”
The Demon Aura was rolling and the Qi was overflowing.
The two of them fought head-on, and they both backed off.
The Leiluo Spider Emperor took three or four steps backward before he could regain his footing. The ground under Ding Hao’s feet collapsed, and the gravel engulfed his feet up to his ankles. After that clash the Leiluo Spider Emperor was slightly inferior.
“Not broken? How is that possible? Is it a holy weapon in your hand?”
The Leiluo Spider Emperor stared incredulously at the rusted sword in Ding Hao’s hand, and his face was full of horror.
His Leiluo Heavenly Spider’s Slaying Gossamer was a top-grade Precious Weapon, which could even cut a G.o.d into pieces. In the past hundreds of thousands of years, the Leiluo Spider Race had used this treasure to cut off many magical weapons. It was invincible. It was one of the most precious treasures of the Leiluo Heaven Spider Cave. This time, he spared no effort to get this treasure from the patriarch, but he did not expect that it would be unable to cut a shady rusted sword!
“Die!”
Ding Hao moved forward again.
At first, he was worried that it would be difficult for the rusted sword to resist the spider web, but he was relieved after testing the waters.
The Leiluo Spider Emperor roared loudly, “Get out of my way, all of you! I’m going to chop this human boy into minced meat!”
His six green eyes were full of fierceness and he was covered with demon aura. Then he turned into an enormous and bulky spider. It was close to five meters tall, with six feet and six eyes. Its body was as smooth as iron, covered with strange green Demon Clan runes. His six legs had sharp spikes like steel spears and black hard hair which was like steel needles covered its abdomen. He looked menacing!
Sure enough, it was a spider demon.
However, this spider has a special origin. It was a mutant of ancient fierce beasts. Its blood derived from ancient ancestors was comparable to the blood of the G.o.ds, which contained great power. It was an ferocious monster with magical skills and talent that could not be underestimated.
Demon Royal with Evil Heart and Demon Royal Bear both waved their hands, and people all stepped back hundreds of meters, giving room to the Leiluo Spider Emperor. The two demon experts who had been defeated by Ding Hao looked at Leiluo Spider Emperor with a cold smile in their eyes. No one knew what they were thinking about.
“Ding! Ding! Ding!”
Ding Hao’s sword was as fast as the wind. He attacked the spider sh.e.l.l, with golden light and sparks splas.h.i.+ng.
The green Demon Race runes on the spider’s sh.e.l.l flickered and layers of green light spread out.
For a moment, Ding Hao could not break the spider sh.e.l.l.
“Leiluo Heaven Web! The Enchantment!”
The Leiluo Spider Emperor roared in anger.
He was a little arrogant which resulted in his embarra.s.sment. He was shocked by the huge counterforce from the sword, and his internal organs were almost displaced. He felt very painful. He shouted out of fury. Then his six legs moved as fast as lightning, leaving a series of phantoms. He quickly pulled out the Leiluo Heavenly Spider’s Slaying Gossamer, which had been arranged as trap before, and formed an invisible web, which covered Ding Hao!
“Boy, let me check your body. Is it as tough as that shoddy sword?”
He controlled the web to surround Ding Hao from all directions, like a spider hunting for prey.
The terrain was very suitable for his attack. The underground natural cave had hard walls. It was built by the power of the law of the West Journey through the Ancient Road, so it could not be penetrated. This way, Ding Hao had nowhere to dodge, so he could only face it head-on.
“Sizzle! Sizzle!”
The Wen Qing Saber in Ding Hao’s left hand was cut into two pieces by the spider web.
His left arm would have been cut off, if he hadn’t retreated at the first chance.
“It’s a pity. This saber was a good Qi weapon. It was also the relic of Ji Yingqi’s grandpa…” Ding Hao sighed and used his rusted sword to fight against the enemy.
As time went by…
More and more Leiluo Heavenly Spider’s Slaying Gossamer sealed the s.p.a.ce to block any chance to escape. Ding Hao was forced to stand in the center, with a looming silver spider web around him. Ding Hao’s green robe was cut open, and his long black hair was cut off silently. Blood appeared on his arms and shoulders, which were caused by the spider silk.
“Haha, pathetic little prey, feeling desperate?” said the Spider Emperor, “I’ve already smelled your delicious flesh and blood. I will inject the spider poison into your body, to turn you into a delicious piece of meat and eat you up bit by bit!”
Ding Hao did not say a word. He dodged at a high speed and avoided the spider web shooting towards him.
Only when he couldn’t avoid it would he use his rusted sword to block the attack.
“Your shoddy sword is actually able to withstand the edge of my web. It looks like a treasure. Haha, don’t worry, little guy. I’ll keep it for myself after your death!” The Leiluo Spider Emperor said with a strange laugh.
He kept provoking and hara.s.sing verbally. That way he could anger his opponent and disturb his mind.
Ding Hao was still dodging with no expression, occasionally exerting Sword Qi to fight back.
It was just that the s.p.a.ce around him had become smaller and smaller.
Being a spider, the Spider Emperor constantly spun and set up the Leiluo Heavenly Spider’s Slaying Gossamer in the surroundings. In this underground cave, he spun an invisible but absolutely horrifying giant web, which would instantly turn Ding Hao into mincemeat as long as he was. .h.i.t by it.
He was tightening the spider web.
“Haha, young man, give up. Remember to reincarnate into a good family. Don’t let me run into you!” The Leiluo Spider Emperor continued to provoke him.
At that time, there was only less than sixteen square meters left for Ding Hao to dodge.
The Leiluo Spider Emperor was extremely proud of himself.
He was about to run out of Leiluo Heavenly Spider’s Slaying Gossamer in his hands. If not for the terrain of the underground limestone cave, he wouldn’t have been able to trap that human boy, who was even more nimble than a monkey. It would take him dozens of seconds to catch him.
He couldn’t help but feel a burst of uncontrollable excitement when he thought how that human expert who was in the limelight was about to turn into a pile of mincemeat at his feet.
Saber and Sword Addictor had made a name for himself in the Sage Battlefield during this period, much to his dislike.
“I was really blessed by the Demon G.o.d today. I could seize this opportunity to kill him,” He thought.
He could imagine that from then on, his reputation in the Demon Clan from the Northern Region would quickly spread. Even the fame of Demon Royal with Evil Heart, Demon Royal Bu Tianjue and the others would be completely suppressed by him. He would be the number one among the talents of the Demon Clan if he walked out of the Sage Battlefield!
In the distance…
“Haha, Ding Hao, can you still kill me now? You are going to die. Do you know how we found you? Do you know who made the plan to kill you today?” Lu Xianr in the distance laughed proudly, “Yes, it was me. Haha, it was me. I studied all your information in order to have my revenge. Why didn’t you notice the trap? Because it was all arranged in advance by me!”
Ding Hao’s eyes finally fell on this vicious silver-haired girl.
He glared at her as if he were looking at a dead person.
The strong killing intent made Lu Xianr tremble and she couldn’t help but shut her mouth.
But in the next moment, an uncontrollable anger burst out in Lu Xianr’s heart.
“He’s about to die. Why should I be afraid of him?”
The vicious woman stared back and said with hatred in her eyes, “The man who was cut into pieces was your friend, right? I know that a hypocritical guy like yourself always likes to make friends. Haha, now he is dead, just like the fool named Guo Nu. He died in front of you, but what can you do? Come on, come and try to fight me to avenge them. Can you do that?”
She had completely turned into a mad dog that was venting its hatred in a frenzy.
She was a complete pervert.
That kind of woman was really terrible!
She was like a mad dog that would not shut its mouth.
“Me killing you? Don’t worry, you will soon become a pile of mincemeat, just like my friend. This time, not even Fang Xiaoan will be able to save you if he comes.” This was the first time Ding Hao hated a person this much. It was the first time he had an impulse to tear her into pieces.
“Hey, little guy, you are about to die. Who are you trying to scare?” The Spider Emperor sneered and suddenly waved his six legs. He controlled the spider web around him and began close the remaining s.p.a.ce, trying to wrap Ding Hao inside to cut him into pieces.
“You don’t know what’s death. You think I have allowed you to live because of your web?”
Ding Hao looked up, and his eyes glared. He sneered and suddenly moved.
The powerful h.e.l.l Ice Qi was injected into the rusted sword.
This mysterious weapon, which looked like a burning stick, instantly radiated with a bright light. The rust spreading over the body of the sword suddenly seemed to be alive, naturally falling off and flying up. It quickly rotated around the sword edge. Surrounded by dazzling silver light, a beautiful sword body, which was as beautiful as a crystal, appeared and vibrated at a high speed. The sword whistled like a divine dragon and caused echoes!
As if a bright sun had suddenly appeared in that s.p.a.ce, everyone’s first reaction was to cover their eyes, not daring to look at it.
Ding Hao moved like a flash of light and approached the Leiluo Spider Emperor.
“You…” The Spider Emperor instinctively felt threatened.
“Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+”
There was a soft sound.
The Leiluo Heavenly Spider’s Slaying Gossamer that could cut apart a G.o.d’s body ended like decayed hemp ropes; having lost its sharpness, it was cut off by the rusted sword.
In the blink of an eye, Ding Hao had already rushed to the Leiluo Spider Emperor.
“It’s impossible…!” the Spider Emperor roared in horror. It was too late for him to retreat.
Flowing light flashed like lightning.
In an instant.
These two figures crossed paths.
Then everything was calm.
Ding Hao withdrew his sword and stood still.
The rust reappeared on the body of the rusted sword, as if it had never fallen off from the body. It returned to having the inconspicuous shape of a fire-burning stick. No one could see that the power that had just been manifested like the arrival of the sun was actually erupting from its blade.
The Spider Emperor turned around with difficulty to stared at Ding Hao with his six huge eyes. He said “You… then… what… what kind of divine weapon is it? It can actually… cut off my…”
If an answer couldn’t be revealed, he would die with a grievance.
