Supreme Emperor of Swords Chapter 720 - Arrogant? Who’s More Arrogant Than Me?

Chapter 720 Arrogant? Who’s More Arrogant Than Me?

Like the experts on the previous floors, many were also deceived by Ding Hao’s cheap black armor and burly figure when they first set their eyes on him. They could not help but despise the man. Ding Hao’s appearance and demeanor did not resemble a powerful expert’s at all.
Moreover, there was no Qi fluctuation from Ding Hao’s body. Obviously, his Qi cultivation had been completely suppressed by the Towering Buddha Pagoda. So although his strength had not been suppressed, Ding Hao’s realm was obviously quite low.
So, in everyone’s eyes, Ding Hao was merely a pushover who did not understand the situation at all.
Qing Lie, the Cyan Wolf Demon Emperor, had thought that Ding Hao wanted to take advantage of the injured Black Bear Demon Emperor, Hei Gang. That must be why Ding Hao had challenged them so hastily.
Many Human experts here also thought the same.
There were even some Human Clan experts who wanted to take advantage of the situation, but were pre-empted by Ding Hao. They were gloating over Ding Hao’s misfortune.
Ding Hao did not say a word.
He gently stretched his limbs and exercised all the bones in his body, gathering his strength to strike.
At this moment…
“Wait.” Suddenly, someone interrupted them. A young man in purple armor emerged from the crowd, pointing at Ding Hao and gnashing his teeth. He yelled, “Martial Uncle, it’s this guy again! He launched a sneak attack on us on the 20th floor, and robbed us despicably.”
Ding Hao looked back.
So it was this guy!
This rude young man had spoken so brazenly on the 20th floor, trying to rob him and Tianshu. In the end, this handsome purple-armored young man was the one ruthlessly ransacked by Uncle Tianshu instead.
He had not expected this guy to reach the 98th floor, given his weak strength.
“Oh? Xiong, take a good look at him again. Are you sure it’s this black-armored man?” The gatekeeper of the Human Clan, enveloped in purple Qi flames, slowly walked out, staring at Ding Hao with an astounding aura.
A sinister light gleamed in the eyes of the handsome purple-armored man, Zi Xiong. He sneered. “Yes, it’s him! Even if he turns into ashes, I can still recognize him.”
The gatekeeper of the Human Clan, who was shrouded in purple flames, nodded and approached Ding Hao. Two beams of purplish light shot out of his eyes. He said coldly, “I didn’t expect there are still creatures in this world unafraid of death. How dare you rob my Ziji Sect! Kill yourself, and I’ll let your family and friends off.”
It sounded so nakedly imperious.
Ding Hao frowned. “Aren’t you going to ask me if he was telling the truth?”
The gatekeeper of the Human Clan snickered and said arrogantly, “There’s no need for that. I don’t care why you did that. Anyone who offends the Ziji Sect must die!”
Ding Hao could not help but smirk. “I’ve long heard that the Ziji Sect is overbearing and unreasonable. Now I can see that your sect is really as shameless as rumored.”
“What did you say?” The gatekeeper of the Human Clan was stunned for a moment, before flying into a rage. “You don’t know kindness when you see it, do you? I was kind-hearted enough to let your family and friends go. I didn’t expect you to be so arrogant and brutal at such a young age. So you won’t repent! No one must have taught you manners as a boy. I’m sure that your parents and masters are no good too. I shall have to kill them all!”
Ding Hao was so angry that he laughed. “What a grand reason! What a shameless excuse! How can someone like you be our Clan’s gatekeeper?”
Murderous malice surged in Ding Hao’s eyes.
Although his soul had traveled through time and space to a new realm, the divine altar’s golden light source in the center of Fake God City had told him about his parentage. Those heart-wrenching scenes in the Land of Divine Grace had made his parents, Ding Shengtan and Yu Qingcheng, occupy a sacred position in his heart. Although Ding Hao had never seen them before, he could not allow anyone to slander them!
Moreover, the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was also sacred in Ding Hao’s heart.
This Human Clan gatekeeper deserved to die!
“Haha, how did I become the gatekeeper? How would a lowly person like you know?” The gatekeeper of the Human Clan burst into disdainful laughter.
The young man, Zi Xiong, also said with a sinister smirk. “Boy, you’re going to die now. No one can blaspheme the dignity of our sect. I want your blood to wash away the shame I have suffered.”
Ding Hao glanced at him, his eyes full of contempt. “With a disciple like you, the Ziji Sect will be destroyed sooner or later.”
“What heretic nonsense! Boy, you shall die!” The Human Clan gatekeeper sneered and struck out his palm.
The purple Qi flashed across the sky, its horrific power erupting like a dragon or an elephant.
The onlookers could not help but retreat together, in order not to be affected by this horrific hurricane-like force. An existence like this gatekeeper could execute his Qi power to a certain extent in this pagoda. It was terrifying!
Ding Hao did not retreat. Instead, he threw out a powerful punch.
Boom!
Purple energy burst out like sparks.
The chaotic Qi currents caused the air on the entire 98th level to suddenly turn viscous. The experts closest to it felt their chest tighten. They were affected by the scattering purple Qi currents, feeling a dull pain in their chests like they had been hit by a massive hammer.
The gatekeeper of the Human Race gasped in surprise and flew backward like a rag doll.
The purple Qi flames around his whole body scattered, revealing the extremely shocked face of a middle-aged man. There was a trickle of blood on the corner of his mouth.
Everyone was flabbergasted.
They had never dreamed that this would be the result of their fight.
Zi Xiong, the handsome young man, stood stock-still, unable to believe his eyes.
Ding Hao had succeeded in one punch. He turned around and strode toward Zi Xiong.
“You… What are you doing? Don’t come any closer…” He stepped back in horror and stammered, “Don’t mess around with me, or the Ziji Sect won’t let you off…”
Smack!
Ding Hao slapped him.
Zi Xiong immediately felt as if he had been hit by a siege hammer. He spun in the air and flew out. Half of his face had been smashed, his bones shattered, as an eyeball flew out.
“Ah…” Zi Xiong screamed miserably, his wicked eyes full of madness and malice. “How dare you hit me! I won’t let you off. I will…”
“You will be a scourge if I let you live.” Ding Hao stepped out. “Crack!” He stepped on Zi Xiong and fractured his breastbone.
“Stop! How dare you kill a disciple of the Ziji Sect. What audacity…” The gatekeeper of the Human Clan was so agitated that he rushed over like a bolt of purple lightning. Powerful purple light columns assaulted Ding Hao’s back.
Ding Hao threw a backhand punch.
His dragon roar was deafening.
A purple Heavenly Dragon energy burst out directly from Ding Hao’s spine after he threw a punch with his right fist, shattering the purple light columns effortlessly, hitting the gatekeeper’s chest. The gatekeeper flew backward as blood spurted out of his mouth…
“You think your Ziji Sect is so great, huh? It won’t take long before someone destroys your unreasonable sect!”
Ding Hao said nonchalantly, after sending the gatekeeper of the Human Clan flying with his punch.
Ding Hao had said that before, but it sounded even more shocking this time round. The powerful strength he displayed made everyone realize that the usually imperious and brutal Ziji Sect had met a true master, and was in real trouble.
“You… you will regret it… The Ziji Sect will never let you off…” Zi Xiong’s single eye was full of resentment.
“Then let your family members come after me.” Ding Hao did not care about this threat at all. He landed on the ground, his power bursting as it instantly disintegrated Zi Xiong into a bloody mist.
Everyone around him was silent, like cicadas in winter.
Those who had looked down on Ding Hao were frightened.
Cold sweat broke out on the back of the Cyan Wolf Demon Emperor, Qing Lie. The corner of his mouth twitched.
The strength of this Human Clan gatekeeper from the Ziji Sect was about the same as his, yet he was defeated so easily by that brawny man in black armor in two mere punches. In other words, Qing Lie would also end up the same if he attacked—he would be easily defeated and might even be killed!
He had already seen that the purest power from this brawny black-armored man had no Qi fluctuation at all. What a frightful physique he had! In an environment like this celestial tower, the man was almost invincible.
“You… you actually killed the son of our city lord. Boy, you’re dead! The Ziji Sect will hunt you down and grind you into minced meat, no matter where you run to!” The gatekeeper of the Human Clan spat out blood, glaring at Ding Hao with gritted teeth.
As a Martial Grand Emperor Realm expert, he hated the fact that more than 60% of his Qi cultivation had been suppressed in this pagoda. He could only exert a small percentage of his strength. He would not have been defeated so miserably if they were elsewhere.
“You don’t seem to have figured out the situation yet.”
Ding Hao’s heart was raging with murderous malice. In an instant, he had made up his mind, summoning the Devil Saber with a backhand. He activated a little of its power, and a crimson stream of heat surged out.
A red light cut through the void.
The 24 Moves of the Saber Technique, Blade One.
He immediately displayed the saber techniques of the Saber Tower, from the manual he discovered in the Heaven Saber Peerless Sword Towers.
This was the first time Ding Hao had displayed the 24 Moves of the Saber Technique.
The eyes of the Human Clan gatekeeper from the Ziji Sect widened. He felt that Ding Hao’s saber trail was totally untraceable. It contained the indescribable Great Tao, and there was no way to dodge it…
Whoosh!
A head flew up. Blood gushed out like a blood fountain.
The Devil Saber buzzed and revived on its own, releasing a terrible suction force, enveloping the dead body. Almost instantaneously, all the power of its essence, spirit and blood had been siphoned from its chest, absorbed and integrated into the broken blade.
In the blink of an eye, the gatekeeper of the Human Clan was no more than a bag of skin and clothes, slithering limply on the ground.
The scene was so bizarre and horrible.
Seeing this, the experts of the two Clans shivered at the same time.
Everyone felt a bone-tingling chill up their spines, going straight to their brains, as if the tops of their heads were about to explode. Unrestrainable fear spread through their bodies like a plague.
The Cyan Wolf Demon Emperor, Qing Lie, could not help but cry out in surprise. He immediately retreated and no longer dared to stand guard at the spiral staircase. He was afraid that Ding Hao would attack him as an opponent.
He had been arrogant and conceited all his life, dominating the Demon Clan. He had never been so afraid before.
Especially when his eyes fell on the broken crimson saber in Ding Hao’s hand. All the terror and negative emotions in his heart seemed to have been aroused and magnified in that very instant.
