Supreme Emperor of Swords Chapter 956: A Thorn

Chapter 956: A Thorn

At this moment, Ding Hao couldn't wait to rush out immediately and cut the culprit into pieces.
But he was able to keep his mind clear and suppressed this impulse.
When he fought briefly with Abreast King Ding Chulin, the strength of the latter was more powerful than he had imagined. Ding Chulin had reached the middle level of God Realm, and that was under the suppression of the power between heaven and earth. If Ding Chulin was in a normal environment, wouldn't his strength reach the high level of God Realm?
Ding Hao was secretly shocked.
On the opposite side…
"You have such kind of cultivation at such a young age. You two can be regarded as geniuses among geniuses. Awesome!" Ding Chulin's eyes fell on Ding Hao and Xie Jieyu, and he carefully observed and praised them.
He was wearing golden sun armor and was smiling. He was somewhat elegant. He was a scheming and vicious young Divine Prince in those years, but now he looked more cool-headed. He had been in a high position for a long time so that he could inspire awe without showing a harsh attitude. He was indeed more dignified and graceful than the God Realm Masters of other sects.
However, Ding Hao keenly observed that Ding Chulin's eyes looked ferocious.
As Ding Chulin's seemingly gentle eyes were blinking, an imperceptible evil glint flashed through them.
Ding Chulin only looked cool-headed on the surface. He was still the crazy man who would do anything to achieve his goals, but he was better at pretending than before.
Such was Ding Hao's judgment.
"I cherish your aptitude. Why don't you join our God's Palace?" Ding Chulin looked at Ding Hao and Xie Jieyu and said with a very graceful smile, "On the entire Eastern Continent, among the Human Clan, only our God's Palace has the ability to cultivate you. If you are willing to join us, the two immortal medicine catalysts will belong to you."
As soon as he said so, everyone was shocked.
How generous he was! Give them immortal medicine catalysts? Weren't they too valuable?
In order to rope in these two young men, he was willing to give away such peerless treasures as the immortal medicine catalysts. This kind of generosity was indeed something that only the Abreast King of God's Palace could have. In recent years, it was rumored that the Fake God Emperor rarely dealt with the affairs of the God's Palace. Most of the time, it was this Abreast King who took control over the affairs. He did everything by himself and had a good reputation. He had condescended to recruit many young geniuses, and his image was very upright and majestic.
Due to what had happened to his beloved son, Ding Sha, he killed a lot of people in the Stone Mouth City out of rage. Regardless of this, this Abreast King had left a good impression on many people.
At this time, with absolute advantage, he tried to rope in the two birds in the cage, showing his boldness and grace.
In comparison, those God Realm Masters who kept killing people like crazy gamblers to fight for the immortal medicine catalysts were no doubt too mean.
Many people felt that if they were either Ding Hao or Xie Jieyu, they could definitely not refuse such a condition. Once they entered God's Palace, they would be the most respected people on the Eastern Continent. Moreover, they could get the immortal medicine catalysts. Such a rare opportunity was something that countless people dared not dream of.
However—
"The immortal medicine is ours. Why should we need you to give it to us?" Ding Hao sneered and said, "Get out of my way. A good dog will not block the way."
The crowd was in an uproar.
People were dumbfounded and they cast their gazes at Ding Hao.
"Is this guy out of his mind? He refused and even called this high-ranking Abreast King a dog. He is absolutely seeking death and wants to die miserably."
At this moment, the Abreast King Ding Chulin was indeed slightly stunned.
A murderous light that was as sharp as lightning flashed in the depths of his eyes.
But in the next instant, he still smiled faintly and sighed, "The more extraordinary a young man's natural talent is, the more prideful he'll be. You should know that there are countless capable people in this world. No matter how talented a genius is, he'll only become a cup of dirt in the end if he can't fully develop. I really appreciate young men with pride. I advise both of you to think about it carefully. There's only one opportunity, and it won't appear again if you miss it."
"The generosity of the Abreast King makes us ashamed. Why do you have to show so much respect to these two ill-behaved bastards? They have killed many people from the God's Palace…" in the distance, a master from another sect said with a flattering smile.
"Hahaha, what a shameless dog wagging its tail and begging for pity." Ding Hao laughed loudly and flashed.
There was a flowing light flashing in the void.
Swish!
The sound of a sword breaking through the air could be heard. Ding Hao flashed in place and became blurry. Then he quickly became clear again.
There seemed to be no change on him from head to toe, but if one looked carefully, one could see that there were drops of blood dripping from the divine sword Sky Attack in his hand into the void.
Bang!
The face of the master from another sect who had spoken those words was stiff with endless fear, and then he directly exploded. Blood and white bones splashed. He died and there was no corpse left.
Ding Hao killed him in an instant!
No one had expected that Ding Hao still dared to kill people in such an environment.
"How dare you! Bastard, how dare you kill people at this time!"
"Kill him!"
"Do you know what you're doing to offend the Abreast King in this way?"
"The arrogant brat dares to be so disrespectful to the Abreast King! Kneel down and apologize!"
Masters from the God's Palace and that sect roared angrily.
There was no fear on Ding Hao's face.
Ding Hao gently blew the blade of the divine sword Sky Attack. The last drop of blood on the sword was blown off. He glanced around and said with a contemptuous smile, "As a dog, you should have the awareness of being a dog. Your spine will be broken at any time. You only know wagging your tails to beg for pity. Do you deserve to be a man? Do you deserve to be a man with a killing sword at his waist?"
The divine sword Sky Attack hummed softly. The blade was extremely sharp and the chilling killing intent was spreading.
Many people felt a chill run down their backs as if there were sharp blades pressed against them. They were terrified and shut their mouths.
At this moment, Ding Hao stood in the void with his sword like a Killing God. He was emitting an unprecedented light, which made many people feel ashamed of their inferiority. The light was not the power of martial arts, but the pride and confidence of a male warrior. People only felt he was shining too brightly.
"Young man, do you really want to be the enemy of the God's Palace?" Ding Chulin's expression changed slightly. He was standing at the exit of the passageway, and the horrible golden light around him was surging like an ocean. This was the most powerful force, and the people around him were no match for him. Every word he uttered had a kind of terrifying majesty that made people tremble.
"Who do you think you are?" Ding Hao sneered and said, "You're just a treacherous villain who has betrayed his elder brother. You've been pretending to be kind all these years. Do you really think you're a saint?"
People were shocked, and there was an uproar.
This sentence made everyone's expression change.
Ding Chulin's expression also changed dramatically in an instant, and the typical smile on his face disappeared, replaced by anger and malice which he could no longer suppress.
Sixteen years had passed, and what happened at that time had always been like a thorn in Ding Chulin's heart. Every time he thought of it, he would feel the terror. Fortunately, his choice had been rewarded. He was in a high position and his status was lower only than that of the Fake God Emperor. No one dared to mention what had happened again. The thorn seemed to have gradually disappeared…
But at this moment, it was mentioned bluntly in front of so many people. Ding Chulin was shocked and angry to find that the thorn hadn't disappeared. Instead, with the passage of time, it pierced deeper and it hurt more.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?"
Ding Chulin roared in a fierce and horrible way as if a volcano were erupting.
Ding Hao was fearless and said word by word, "I said you were just an ungrateful villain who had betrayed his elder brother… Haha, the world is so strange. Why do so many idiots dare not face directly what they've done? If you were a villain and were frank, I might think more highly of you. But you are pretending to be a saint. Haha, you are really a whore who declares herself a virgin!"
Boom!
The terrible golden flame burst out in an instant. Indescribable energy swept through the air like floodwaters. Many people didn't have time to react. They only felt that there was a bang in their ears, and they were directly sent flying.
"Die!"
Ding Chulin was as ferocious as Death. He was extremely angry. His aura burst out, and the surrounding strong wind surged, as if the world were collapsing. The golden Qi turned into a giant hand, crossing everything in the space and mercilessly crushing down on Ding Hao.
Ding Hao's clothes and black hair were fluttering in the wind, as if he were facing a stormy sea.
"I'll fight with him first. Leave now," said Ding Hao to Xie Jieyu in a low voice.
Ding Hao really had no chance of winning against a master like Ding Chulin at this time. Today's game was definitely a matter of life and death. If he pretended that he was willing to accept Ding Chulin's invitation and join the God's Palace, maybe he could not only save his life but also do something more…
But with Ding Hao's character, he would rather break than bend. How could he bow to his personal enemy?
Even if he died in the battle, he would never behave like a coward in front of Ding Chulin.
Therefore, he had adopted the toughest attitude.
He also wanted to provoke Ding Chulin and make him lose his mind. In this way, Xie Jieyu could take the opportunity to escape.
However, Xie Jieyu replied to Ding Hao with practical actions.
Screech—
The True Phoenix cried and the female Martial Demigod, like a fiery phoenix, rushed to meet Ding Chulin's attack first.
She knew Ding Hao too well.
When Ding Hao first began to provoke Ding Chulin with his words, Xie Jieyu understood what Ding Hao meant. But in such an environment, even if she was smashed to pieces, Xie Jieyu would never leave Ding Hao alone. If only one of them could survive today, she would not hesitate to let Ding Hao escape unscathed.
The shadow of True Phoenix flapped its wings and wrapped Xie Jieyu in the middle.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Rays of purple light flew out of the True Phoenix sword box, circling around her like the feathers of a True Phoenix.
"Open!" Xie Jieyu shouted.
Her slender hands showed a sword formula in front of her chest, and an extreme purple light disc appeared in front of her. The phoenix feathers on it were swirling and twisting, condensing countless mysterious runes. It surged with a powerful aura, like the descent of a divine beast from the Archean Period. Then, a huge Phoenix Sword made of light and shadow emerged from the light disc and slashed at the giant golden hand condensed by Ding Chulin.
"Be careful!" Ding Hao was shocked and reminded her. He followed her closely, and the Sword Intents of spring, summer, autumn, and winter cut the void into pieces.
Boom!
There was a loud explosion as if the world were collapsing.
Before many people could react, they were sent flying again in the explosion, blood flowing from their mouths and noses.
Even some Semi God Realm Masters flew away rapidly to retreat with pale faces when they were affected by such power.
"Poof!" Xie Jieyu felt something sweet in her throat. She spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.
Ding Hao flashed and held her in his arms. He turned around and blocked the horrible shockwave with his back for Xie Jieyu. At the same time, the divine sword Sky Attack in his right hand changed the sword moves again and again. The Hell Ice Qi burst out without reservation, and the extremely cold Icing Qi solidified into mysterious ice, setting up ice walls in the void.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The ice walls only managed to withstand the shockwave for a little while. Then they were completely shattered.
Ding Hao's back was badly mutilated in an instant, and the cyan robe on his upper body was torn, revealing his naked body.
