Chapter 847 A Piece of Cake
“You reckless fool, how dare you to be so arrogant!” The muscular man Debiao flicked his finger at a little stone.
The little stone flashed in the air and bounced back even faster. It tore through the void and shot toward the Nalan Chu’s silly brother. A sharp, piercing sound resembling that of a crossbow broke the silence.
Ding Hao’s eyes flashed.
Bang!
When the little stone was three meters away from Ding Hao, it seemed to have crashed into an invisible Qi wall. It exploded into powder and scattered in the air.
“With your status, there is no need to attack a child,” Ding Hao said with a smile.
Debiao laughed coldly. “You are an outsider. You don’t deserve to interfere in the affairs of the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe.”
Ding Hao said nothing more. Instead, he turned around to look at another person and said, “You brought some many people with you. Are you arresting us and taking us back?”
The man to whom Ding Hao was speaking was in his forties. He was wearing a beast armor with the surging wind aura. His short hair rose to the sky like steel needles. His facial muscles, which seemed to have been made out of molten iron, were fully demonstrating his powerful shape. He stared at Ding Hao with his eyes which were as sharp as a hawk’s as he said, “Outsider, you have no right to meddle in our internal affairs. It’s okay that you want to leave, but why did you take away people of the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe?”
Ding Hao smiled and said, “Chu and Youxia are going to find their father, so I must take them away.”
“She is born as a member of the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe and has to die here. Without the permission of the tribe leader, she couldn’t leave.” The middle-aged man sneered, “As a woman of the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe, she should sacrifice herself for the continuity of the tribe. Since Chu has yet to bear children for the tribe, she is not allowed to leave.”
Hearing the man’s words, Nalan Chu’s face turned pale and she began to tremble.
“Well,” Ding Hao nodded and said calmly, “in that case, please go back to tell your leader that I’ll take Chu away. He should just approve it.”
“How dare you!” The middle-aged man was enraged. “Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me in that tone!”
The burly man Debiao laughed coldly. He took a step forward and said, “Ignorant outsider! You are courting death.”
Nalan Chu trembled. She couldn’t help the quivering in her voice as she suddenly stepped forward and said, “No, it was not his fault. I begged Brother Ding to take us away. Please don’t embarra.s.s Brother Ding. I’m willing to go back with you. I’ll do whatever you want me to do.”
She didn’t want to get Ding Hao into trouble.
Chu was well aware of how powerful the warriors in the tribe were. Especially, the muscular man Debiao and the middle-aged man were as terrifying as G.o.ds in her eyes that no one could defeat them. Although she wanted to escape from the Ocean Forest to find her father, she did not want to get Ding Hao into trouble.
Ding Hao sighed and gently patted her on the shoulder. He said calmly and firmly, “Don’t worry, Chu. You got me here today. No one can force you or take you away.”
“That’s ridiculous! How arrogant you are!” The middle-aged man sneered with killing intent in his eyes.
Ding Hao stood in front of Chu and sheltered her. The smile on his face gradually disappeared and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He said, “It’s just a Martial Sage and a few Martial Grand Emperors. I’m not patient. You’d better not humiliate yourselves or provoke me. Otherwise, your Heavenly Wasteland Tribe will be destroyed.”
Hearing his words, the middle-aged man was stunned.
The haughty expression disappeared instantly as if he had seen Ding Hao for the first time. He looked grave when he sized Ding Hao up carefully.
Telling his strength and realm easily had already made him vigilant. Seeing Ding Hao’s casual expression, the middle-aged man knew it was definitely not a deliberate disguise, so he stopped despising Ding Hao.
However, the muscular man Debiao did not realize that.
“You reckless fool, go to h.e.l.l!” He roared as he lifted up his feet. The ground under his feet rumbled and collapsed as if it had been hit by a meteorite. However, Debiao bounced up like a cannonball and punched toward Ding Hao.
The physical strength of a Martial Grand Emperor was best expressed at that punch.
As soon as he punched out, the air exploded like thunder.
A transparent fist print was made by him. The terrifying fist ran so fast that the friction caused flames in the air.
“The strength of physical cultivation in this world was indeed terrifying.”
Ding Hao stood still as if he had been scared out of his wits.
Just as the fist was about to land on him, Ding Hao suddenly raised his hand and cut the fist print with red flames on the edge into two with his palm as if using a saber. The next moment, he opened his palm and grabbed the fist of Debiao in the air.
At this moment, waves of invisible energy rippled beside Ding Hao.
“Why?” Debiao was stunned.
His punch was powerful enough to shatter a mountain. However, he found that the moment his punch touched Ding Hao’s palm, it disappeared in an instant like a clay ox vanis.h.i.+ng into the sea without a trace. No matter how he activated his power, the fist which could kill dragons or giant monsters now seemed to have grown from Ding Hao’s palm, unable to move at all.
Ding Hao’s eyes fell on the face of the brawny man Debiao and he said word by word, “You wanted to kill me. According to my habits, I will kill a person like you. However, since Chu saved me and I owe the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe a big favor, I will spare your life this time and give you some punishment. I hope you can learn from it because you won’t be so lucky next time. Get lost!”
Boom!
Before Ding Hao finished his words, Debiao felt an irresistible force coming from his fist although Ding Hao didn’t move. He exclaimed, and his whole body flew out much faster than he attacked, hitting the stone wall of the distant mountain and leaving a huge pit on it.
Puff!
The muscular man Debiao slid down from the collapsed mountain and spat out a stream of blood from his mouth. Although he could barely stand up, he looked dispirited. Obviously, he was seriously injured.
“Lord Debiao…” Seeing him injured, the warriors of the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe stepped forward and hurried to hold him.
“Kill him!”
“How dare you hurt the master of the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe?”
The other warriors of the tribe rushed toward Ding Hao in shock and anger.
“Stop! Come back, all of you! ” The middle-aged man who had been silent suddenly shouted loudly, ordering the warriors who had charged out to retreat.
Ding Hao was calm and he didn’t say anything.
“It seems that I have underestimated you.” The middle-aged man looked dignified when he said that. “I did not expect you to be so powerful at such a young age. However, you have injured a master of my Heavenly Wasteland Tribe. It isn’t over. You must pay the price.”
Ding Hao sneered, “You’re hunting me in the name of hunting Chu, aren’t you? Haha, sometimes being too greedy is not a good thing. How dare a small Heavenly Wasteland Tribe to covet my secrets. You’d better give up, and I won’t get you into trouble. Otherwise…”
Speaking of it, Ding Hao grinned, his snow-white teeth s.h.i.+ning like sharp blades in the sun. He continued, “If you push me too hard, I’m afraid that there will be no Heavenly Wasteland Tribe in the Ocean Forest from now on.”
Before Ding Hao finished his words, a flaming metal puppet army suddenly appeared behind him without sign.
It was a flaming metal army of more than 500 puppets. Each metal puppet’s huge body looked ferocious and cold under the sunlight, and the flames on their bodies were even stranger as if it was an army of Death from the h.e.l.l. With the army on the sh.o.r.e of the calm lake, horrible and evil Qi rose into the sky in an instant.
It was the Heaven-exterminating Flame Army!
It was the metal army that Ding Hao had obtained in the battle of Qing River Town.
Every single metal puppet had the combat capability of a Martial Grand Emperor. It was made of divine materials and was extremely tough. It had the combat capability to conquer everything. For cultivators who only carried out physical cultivation, such a metal army was born to defeat them.
The middle-aged man’s pupils suddenly shrank, and a trace of horror emerged in the depths of his eyes.
He could feel how terrifying the metal army was.
For the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe, an army of more than 500 Puppets of War with the combat capability of more than 500 Martial Grand Emperors was definitely a terrible enemy. In the entire tribe, there were only dozens of physical cultivators in the realm of Martial Grand Emperor. The quant.i.ty gap between them was too big.
Moreover, Ding Hao’s strength was unfathomable. n.o.body knew if he owned more such horrible puppets.
Now everyone in the tribe realized that they had met a true master, and was in real trouble.
The middle-aged man and the other warriors of the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe looked at each other in dismay, their backs covered with cold sweat.
The dispirited Debiao was also startled and afraid.
It was not until then that they realized that the strength of this mysterious young man was so terrifying. Since he could control a metal puppet army, he was definitely from one of those legendary super tribes or foreign sects with endless forces.
For an existence like Ding Hao, a small tribe like the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe was not worth mentioning.
It was also at this moment that they finally realized that they shouldn’t challenge the mysterious young man in front of them.
Ding Hao looked at everyone with a smile and was very satisfied with their responses.
“Well, it seems that you have realized something. That’s it. I won’t look into it anymore. Now I’ll take Nalan Chu and Nalan Youxia with me. If they are willing to return to the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe in the future, I won’t stop them. You’d better not follow us or make trouble. Otherwise, even if your patriarch in the middle level of Sage Realm and another elder in the Sage Realm were here, they won’t be able to withstand a blow from me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden gleam flashed, and the Heaven-exterminating Flame Army disappeared.
The middle-aged man opened his mouth but couldn’t said nothing.
Ding Hao pointed out the cultivation of the three strongest people in the tribe, which meant that he had already known the utmost combat capability of the tribe, and he didn’t care about it at all. Ding Hao’s tone and att.i.tude completely shattered the last glimmer of hope in the middle-aged man’s heart.
