Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 769 Chaos in the World?

Every column of Demon Aura represented a demon expert.

There were at least tens of thousands of demons in Huining City.

An extremely terrible thought flashed through the minds of Ding Hao and Tianshu at the same time.

Huining City had fallen and was occupied by the Demon Clan.

What exactly happened?

“Let’s go down and have a look!”

Ding Hao shouted and controlled the Black Lightning. He streaked through the void like a bolt of lightning and dived straight toward Huining City, where the Demon Aura was everywhere.

He did so because he had faith in his strength. If it were other ordinary human experts, they would never dare to rush there so brazenly in the face of so many demons.

“Who is it?”

A loud shout rang out in Huining City.

At the same time, dozens of Demon Clan experts rose into the air and blocked their way.

“Aye? It’s the Human Clan again. Hahaha, I never expected there to be humans who aren’t scared of death here at this time. Haha, kill them!”

The leading demon expert in the Demon King Realm saw the identities of Ding Hao and the others and shouted excitedly.

But the next moment—

Swoosh!

The Black Lightning streaked across the void.

Saber radiance flashed.

Before the sinister smiles on the faces of the dozens of Demon Clan experts froze, their bodies suddenly split into two and fell from the void.

Ding Hao withdrew his saber.

He activated the Black Lightning and rushed straight toward the most powerful column of Demon Aura in Huining City, with endless killing intent.

At this time, everything in Huining City could be seen clearly.

Huining City, which used to be tranquil and beautiful, was now in a mess.

Most of the magnificent city walls had collapsed, and the inscription formations in the city had been destroyed. The magnificent buildings, divine temples, warrior statues, and rivers in the city had all been turned into ruins. Under the cover of ice and snow, various kinds of corpses were lying densely on the street. They were all dead humans.

The former giant city was now more like the ruins of a battlefield.

The figures of ferocious demons, as well as countless fierce beasts with almost no wisdom, appeared among them. They were eating the bodies of dead human beings.

Ding Hao’s Divine Senses poured out like a tide, covering the area within a radius of five kilometers. He could almost feel the dense Demon Aura everywhere, and there was no trace of human life.

It seemed that almost all the humans in Huining City had been killed.

“Huh? Are there finally experts from the Human Clan? Hahaha, I have been waiting for you for a long time…” In the center of Huining City, a powerful voice rang out under the surging column of Demon Aura, which was like a pillar supporting the sky.

Facing the aggressive Ding Hao and his fellows, the Demon Royal Realm expert of the Demon Clan looked extremely calm.

He had already released his Demon Senses and locked on to Ding Hao and the others. He could feel that Ding Hao’s strength was inferior to his, so he felt at ease in his heart. His tall figure was covered with crimson flames. His aura was extremely horrible, making him look like a primitive giant crocodile. He looked up and laughed wildly and arrogantly.

“Haha, poor human, come down!”

The Demon Royal suddenly made a move. A lifelike crimson giant palm, like the hand of the Devil, rose to the sky in an attempt to capture Ding Hao and the others.

But—

Swoosh!

Saber radiance flashed again.

The huge crimson palm strangely stopped and was then neatly split into two. It could no longer maintain a complete shape and began to scatter.

“How is this possible…” The Demon Royal’s expression froze. He had a bad feeling.

Before he could react, he suddenly felt chills in his arms. When he looked down, he found that his arms had been completely cut off without him knowing. They turned into ashes like sand and dissipated in the air. It scared him out of his wits. He was shocked beyond words and knew that he had met an amazing master.

His vision blurred.

Opposite him was a young man in a cyan robe, holding a strange crimson devil saber. His eyes were like sharp long knives, staring at him coldly.

“Are you the master of the Demon Clan in this city?”

Ding Hao’s voice was ice-cold.

“Who… who are you?” The Demon Royal gritted his teeth. He was astonished to find that the wounds on his arms were beginning to shrink. With his powerful demonic power, he found it difficult to heal the wounds.

Before his voice died away, his vision blurred once again. The figure of the young man in a cyan robe changed from blurred and clear in an instant, and then he suddenly felt a chill in his thigh.

When he looked down, the Demon Royal wore a look of shock and despair.

Before he could fight back, one of his legs was cut off in an instant.

The strength of this human youth in a cyan robe was far beyond his imagination.

“Answer my question. Are you the master of the Demon Clan in this city? How dare the demons be so presumptuous to break the Primitive Alliance Treaty? Do you want to start a new Holy War?”

Ding Hao approached him step by step.

Golden patterns spread out from his feet. In an instant, the area within 50 or 60 meters was covered with inscriptions. The ground was glittering with gold, and the demon experts who were rushing wildly from all directions were blocked outside.

“Humph, the Holy War has already begun a year ago. Do you want to humiliate me by asking such a stupid question? Although you’re powerful, there will be masters of the Demon Clan to deal with you…” the Demon Royal said angrily.

Ding Hao appeared thunderstruck.

The Holy War had begun a year ago?

The Demon Royal’s words made Ding Hao’s mind go blank, so he didn’t listen to what he said later. Before he entered the Bone-burying Forest, although there were undercurrents on the Divine Central Continent, the Human Clan and the Demon Clan still maintained relative peace on the surface. The Holy War definitely didn’t break out, but now it had already broken out for a year…

“How long have I been in the Towering Buddha Pagoda?

“What has become of the situation on the Land of Infinity?”

The worst happened.

Indeed, without the outbreak of the Holy War, the Human Clan and the Demon Clan would not have completely fallen out, there would not have been a chaotic battle, and a big city like Huining City would not have been captured by the Demon Clan. If the Green Wood War God of the Divine Central Continent flew into a rage by then, even the lords of the Demon Clan would have to make compromises!

Ding Hao did not ask any more questions. Instead, he directly controlled the Demon Royal and searched his sea of consciousness using his Divine Senses with the help of the secret skill—Mind Essential.

Moments later.

Bang!

The Demon Royal’s head burst open and his brains flew out.

A ball of divine soul screamed and rushed out of the corpse, but it was swallowed by Evil Moon, who had been long waiting for it.

Ding Hao was so furious as if there were flames in his eyes.

“Kill all the demons in the city!”

His tone was freezing cold like the thousand-year mysterious ice, sending a chill down everyone’s spine. He was like a volcano that was about to erupt, about to destroy heaven and earth.

Uncle Tianshu nodded and released the giant white tigress.

The Emperor-level primitive exotic beast could kill all the demons in the city alone. After all, at this time, the strongest demon in the city was merely at the Peak of the Demon Royal Realm, and he had been killed by Ding Hao.

Tianshu did not ask Ding Hao why he did that.

In fact, he had already guessed the reason.

After every Holy War in the long history of the Land of Infinity, all living creatures were plunged into misery, especially the weaker Human Clan. Once an inhabited city was broken through, they would basically be slaughtered. Although he hadn’t observed the current situation in Huining City, Tianshu could already imagine what kind of tragic ending the civilians here had suffered. Death might be a relief to them. When they were alive, they must have been tortured by the Demon Clan with the cruelest means.

Ding Hao was not a bloodthirsty man.

But he must have learned about the tragic experience of the Human Clan in Huining City from the Demon Royal’s sea of consciousness, and that was why he was so furious.

The roars of the big white tigress and the screams of the demon experts could be heard.

The white tigress was not a member of the Demon Clan, but a primitive giant beast, so it attacked mercilessly.

Ding Hao stood quietly on the ruins of the former high hall in the center of Huining City, breathing in the cold air. The wet and cold airflow entered his chest, as if it could destroy the almost uncontrollable anger in his heart.

The information he had obtained from the Demon Royal’s sea of consciousness, especially the torture and killing the Human Clan masters in the city had suffered and the images of those innocent civilians, men and women, young and old, being eaten alive like food, flashed in Ding Hao’s mind uncontrollably…

Before that, it was really hard for him to imagine that there was such a tragic and cruel scene in the world.

He seemed to have experienced it personally. It was the first time that he had truly experienced the horror of the Holy War.

After an unknown period of time, he finally calmed down.

“It has been a year and a half since we entered the ruins of the Sacred Hall. In the severe winter a year ago, there was news of the death of the Green Wood War God of the Divine Central Continent of the Human Clan. The Demon Clan in the Central Region took advantage of the situation and began to test us at the beginning. Later, they grew unscrupulous. The Green Wood Holy Guards couldn’t suppress them, which caused pervasive chaos at last. Finally, a large-scale war broke out…” Ding Hao said slowly.

Although it happened a year ago, those who heard him were petrified.

The Holy War still broke out.

The entire land was going to be plagued by the war.

Although he had guessed a little, when he heard Ding Hao’s words, Uncle Tianshu sighed and did not know what to say. The most terrible chaotic world had come.

The screams around them gradually faded away.

After finishing the slaughter, the big white tigress returned to Tianshu’s side.

Almost all the demons in the ruins of Huining City had been slaughtered, and only a few low-level fierce beasts had escaped…

“What should we do next? Are we going to the Southern Wilderness?” Tianshu asked.

“What about you?” Ding Hao asked.

Uncle Tianshu said firmly, “I’ll return to the Southern Wilderness as soon as possible. Since the Holy War on the Divine Central Continent has broken out, it won’t take long for the Southern Wilderness to be in chaos.”
