Supreme Emperor of Swords Chapter 989

Chapter 989 You Didn’t Expect It, Did You?
Beams of blue light burst out—the dagger was activated. It turned into liquid, itching to flow into Ding Hao’s body.
Ding Hao snorted.
The huge purple dragon on his spine roared and flew around Ding Hao, letting out purple breath with its bones crackling.
The blue dagger was instantly forced out by this power and turned back to its solid form.
The muscles on Ding Hao’s back bulged like mountains as he released his frightening strength. The blue dagger that was restored to its solid form was squeezed out of his body little by little. In the end, it shot into the air like an arrow.
Madam Nalan was completely astonished upon seeing this.Please
What kind of monster was this man? He could directly squeeze the poisonous dagger out of his body!
Were his muscles made of iron?
The blue dagger she smelted would release horrific poison as soon as it got into a person’s skin. An ordinary Sage Realm Master would die immediately when the dagger scratched him a little. Even a God Realm Master would be weakened.
But, wasn’t the person before her flesh and blood?
Ding Hao turned around and stared at Madam Nalan, just like a giant beast from ancient times staring at an ant. His eyes were full of cruelty.
Madam Nalan suddenly broke down and was lost in a state of fear. When she met Ding Hao’s eyes, she felt like she was enveloped by a boundless sea of blood. She wanted to get out of it, but she found it hard to move her body as if it had been frozen.
Ding Hao raised his hand and clutched her swan-like fair neck, just like a steel hoop encircling a swan.
“Let… me… go… You…” Madam Nalan was shivering.
Her face was red and she was almost out of breath. She struggled like a drowning poor wretch, hitting Ding Hao with both of her hands rapidly. But she felt like she was slapping an iron wall, which only caused pain in her palms.
“Wicked woman, you sent people to kill Chu again and again,” Ding Hao said, his eyes full of killing intent. “Go to hell and apologize to Chu.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Hao reached out his hand and caught the blue dagger that fell from the sky. He held the handle and mercilessly inserted the dagger into Madam Nalan’s heart.
“Ahh… No!” Madam Nalan screamed in terror.
A God Realm Master would not die even if his heart was destroyed. However, the poison the blue dagger released was like a madly burning flame. It quickly got into Madam Nalan’s body along with the wounds, causing her to whine.
In the blink of an eye, her skin became dark blue.
Ding Hao threw her away as if she was a piece of garbage.
Then Ding Hao fixed his eyes on a man wearing a light golden mask. The man had been standing there all the time, neither running away nor fighting. Ding Hao found the man a little familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen this person.
In the face of the angry and cruel Ding Hao, the man with the light golden mask was calm. He looked at Ding Hao, seeming to observe something or sigh.
Looking over him, Ding Hao saw the Dragon Roar Heavenly Tactical Deployment with the flicker of faint silver lights in the middle of the chamber of secrets.
Nalan Youxia roared. The voice was as loud as thunder.
Ding Hao frowned slightly.
Even though he was standing far from Nalan Youxia, he could clearly feel the changes in Nalan Youxia’s body. A stream of unprecedented and terrible strength was slowly born inside Nalan Youxia. Even Ding Hao, who was in a rage, did not dare to try this strength. He felt a little scared.
How could this be?
Ding Hao observed the Dragon Roar Heavenly Tactical Deployment carefully, and his frown deepened.
This was a horrible tactical deployment. Though he had great attainments in inscriptions, Ding Hao couldn’t see through it immediately. He couldn’t tell where the array eye was. The shining silver inscription patterns were as complicated as an ocean, which would make people dizzy at a glance.
This tactical deployment was absolutely set up by an expert.
Saber Master and Sword Master were also observing the tactical deployment but failed to find any clue.
“Doesn’t matter. Now that we can’t find the array eye, let’s break the tactical deployment forcibly!” Ding Hao slowly put Nalan Chu’s body on the ground and drew a circle to set up a protective tactical deployment to protect her. Then he grabbed the Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword and injected his Qi into them to exert the forbidden power.
Nalan Chu was dead. He could not let Nalan Youxia have any accident.
He should keep his promise to her no matter what price he needed to pay.
The man with the light golden mask widened his eyes a little when he saw Ding Hao’s tactical deployment. He was a bit surprised and showed his admiration at the same time. But he still stood there without saying anything, nor did he intend to fight or escape.
The Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword trembled in Ding Hao’s hands.
Strong forbidden power emanated.
Saber Master and Sword Master understood Ding Hao’s mood and determination at this time, so they tried their best to help Ding Hao activate the power of the saber and the sword.
“It’s time,” the man with the light golden mask suddenly spoke.
Ding Hao was stunned and stopped his movement for a second.
“It’s time for the Immortal Artifact to come out. Everyone thought it would come out in the Saint-alighting Mountain Range. Haha, they are all wrong. Everyone is wrong. Everything is a lie…”
The man with the light golden mask smirked.
The next moment…
Boom!
An extremely powerful gush of strength suddenly burst out from the Dragon Roar Heavenly Tactical Deployment and shot up to the sky. In an instant, the dome of the chamber of secrets was lifted off, and the rocks and soil within hundreds of meters were blasted. The silver light pillar shot from underground to the distant starry sky…
The light pillar created a strong visual impact.
At the same time, Nalan Youxia’s howls and roars stopped.
The ground engraved with the inscription patterns of the Dragon Roar Heavenly Tactical Deployment was instantly smashed. All the patterns were shattered, sending crushed stones flying in all directions. Beams of harsh silver light burst out from the stones like burning flames, dazzling people’s eyes.
Ding Hao narrowed his eyes, too.
Clatter…Clatter…
There came slight footsteps from inside.
The dazzling silver lights slowly cleared. Two figures, one big and another small, appeared. They walked out of the silver lights hand in hand toward Ding Hao step by step.
Ding Hao looked up and suddenly trembled as his pupils contracted.
“Haha, you didn’t expect it, did you?” An irrepressible proud smile appeared on Nalan Xingde’s face.
His body was completely rebuilt.
He had been completely blown by Ding Hao before: his limbs were broken into blood mist; his bones turned into powder; his head was the only thing left. But now, his limbs and bones were restructured, and he even became stronger. He didn’t wear any clothes. Each of his muscles glinted like iron. A kind of power close to Immortal Tao was surging in his new body.
In front of such power, even a God Realm Master was as weak as an ant.
The man standing next to Nalan Xingde was Nalan Youxia.
The simple-minded young man who only knew to smile and eat in the past had changed into completely another person. His white robe had been changed to a piece of shining silver armor that wrapped his body tightly. Even his exposed skin seemed to be coated with a layer of silver powder. It looked like he had a metal shell.
However, his biggest change was not in his clothes but in his temperament.
The naive boy was no naiver. His eyebrows stretched high to his temples, and his pupils were replaced with emotionless silver lights. The lines of his face were unprecedentedly sharp. Instead of a living person, he looked more like an unconquerable weapon.
“Almost! You almost ruined my plan,” Nalan Xingde smiled, letting out a deep breath. “But fate is still kind to me. You didn’t kill me directly but pushed me into the Dragon Roar Heavenly Tactical Deployment. You gave me a chance to get the Immortal Artifact. Who in the world can defeat me now?”
Immortal Artifact?
Ding Hao was astonished. Something flashed on him. He suddenly understood what was going on.
He fixed Nalan Youxia with an extremely shocked look.
“You didn’t expect it, did you? The real Immortal Artifact is not a sword, a saber, or anything non-living. It’s a living person. It’s my son! Hahahaha,” Nalan Xingde laughed wildly. “If Clay Bodhisattva had not reckoned the secrets of the Immortal Tao, I wouldn’t have known such a biggest ancient secret. Everyone was deceived. Those fools were guided to kill each other in the Saint-alighting Mountain Range, while I just got the Immortal Artifact easily here.”
Ding Hao was still in a state of extreme shock.
Nalan Youxia was… the Immortal Artifact?
A human-shaped Immortal Artifact?
How was this possible?
The so-called Immortal Artifact had life and soul? How weird it was!
If so, how to explain everything that happened in the Saint-alighting Mountain Range? The Golden Throne, the Gold Divine Hall, the Gold Fighting Ring, the Battle of the Chosen, and the Gold Immortal Light?
Nalan Youxia’s body was indeed strange. Ding Hao had long found that there was a stream of mysterious power in Nalan Youxia’s body. Although he had never cultivated, the power that he had erupted under some coincidences was extremely strong.
But Ding Hao only thought that there was some mysterious bloodline power that had not been activated in his body. He had never thought that such a living person was the inactivated Immortal Artifact.
“Haha, hahaha… How is it? You couldn’t imagine the boy you gave me in person was the Immortal Artifact that countless people dream of possessing. How do you feel? Regretful? Angry? You had it, but you didn’t recognize its value and even gave it to me…”
Nalan Xingde felt inexpressible excitement and pride.
He had nearly failed and almost lost everything. Fortunately, the miracle appeared at the last moment. It was such a good feeling to gain hope in despair. Now everything was settled, and he had the Immortal Artifact. No one in this world could beat him.
He would kill Ding Hao first.
