Supreme Emperor of Swords-Novel

Chapter 335 A Revelation, A Genius

“Since Lu Pengfei was so stubborn, he deserved to die. Then Ding Hao is not guilty, but meritorious service,” said thoughtfully another tall, sturdy old man with a lion nose and a wide mouth.

Hearing the two men’s words, the others soon also agreed on the view of Peak Master Luo.

That was Ding Hao’s previous worry.

He was just a nominal disciple. No one would believe him even if he stated the facts. Most of them knew that Ding Hao was right but none of them would stand on the opposite side of Jade Master for the sake of Ding Hao.

However, now that Peak Master Luo proved that Ding Hao was right, it was a totally different result. In addition to her extremely special identity, her strength was rather powerful. They would rather not offend her for a humble nominal disciple, Ding Hao.

Almost all of them soon reached a consensus that Ding Hao was innocent and there was no need to see the evidence.

Except for Jade Master.

Jade Master opened the jade folding fan in his hand and shook it habitually. He frowned and said, “The views of all of you really make me confused. Are you praising a killer who cruelly killed our disciples? No matter whether Lu Pengfei violated the rules, I’m wondering why a small nominal disciple has the right to execute someone. In my opinion, Ding Hao had grudge against Lu Pengfei, so he killed him in the name of execution, which is far cruel. If you forgive Ding Hao today, other disciples will follow him, then what is the use of Sentencing Hall?”

Everyone’s face changed.

No one had expected that Jade Master still insisted on punishing Ding Hao after Peak Master Luo had shown her attitude. For a while, they were all curious about why Jade Master was so persistent. Did he have a grudge against Ding Hao?

Or... the two major factions in the sect, after decades of peace, finally were tired of the current situation and wanted to fight against each other?

In Ding Hao’s heart, he was very angry.

He knew why Shen Ku made things difficult for him and could vaguely guess the reason behind it, but he did not know this Jade Master or have offended him, why did he deliberately roust him? Why didn’t he let Ding Hao go?

Peak Master Luo had no expression. She looked at Ding Hao and asked, “What’s your answer to what Jade Master said?”

“Bullshit!” Ding Hao said quietly.

That really shocked everyone. The word raised a huge wave among those High levels. It seemed like he just threw a big stone into the calm water.

To be honest, before Ding Hao answered, some people had subconsciously imagined what that listed disciple would say, perhaps words for mercy, or for excuses, but no one had thought that Ding Hao’s final answer turned out to be that word!

Bullshit!

For a moment, Jade Master forgot to wave his folding fan.

Even, Peak Master Luo, who had always been indifferent, was also in a daze. She then asked unbelievably, “Ding Hao, what... did you say?”

Ding Hao took a deep breath.

Facing pairs of surprised eyes, he looked calmly and replied, “I’m saying what Jade Master had said was bullshit because what I have done does not violate the sect’s rules. Instead, I killed them according to the rules!”

As soon as he said that, those present looked more surprised.

Like most people, Peak Master Luo seemed very interested in what Ding Hao had said. She was eager to know what the listed disciple had up his sleeve.

“Oh?” Jade Master was not angry. He nodded with a smile and said, “Well! Well! Well! You tell me how did you follow our sect’s rules?”

At that moment, everyone felt pressure coming from Jade Master.

Ding Hao did not fear him at all. He quietly answered, “In accordance with the rules of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, anyone who has the strength of a congenital grandmaster automatically has the right to kill those who violet the sect rules, especially for the ordinary disciples below the inner core. In case of emergency, report after execution.”

“You’re right. There is such a rule. You...” Jade Master nodded and was about to say something, but he suddenly stopped and his eyes suddenly became sharp and fell on Ding Hao. He asked dignifiedly, “So your strength has reached the realm of the congenital grandmaster?”

Hearing those words, all the people in the hall were astounded.

Everyone present knew it was relying on Wang Juefeng’s Sapphire Jade Plate that Ding Hao was able to defeat Lu Qi, but it did not mean he was a primordial grandmaster. It was less than a year since Ding Hao had entered the sect. If his words were true, he would be a super genius, one who had never appeared since the establishment of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect...

A dozen of sharp eyes were staring at Ding Hao.

After a while, everyone, including Peak Master Luo and Jade Master, showed a confused look.

Because until now, they were surprised to find that they could not see how powerful the listed disciple was.

That was abnormal.

With the realms, vision, and experience of those people, they could see through even a congenital grandmaster at a glance, but they could not see through Ding Hao. That was strange. Maybe Ding Hao had a rare gem that could cut off their searching or he had practiced some kind of method that could weaken his own breath, or maybe Ding Hao’s strength had far surpassed theirs...

Peak Master Luo waved her slender and white hand, and a blue Qi shield appeared in the air. The texture was clear, and there were esoteric patterns on it. Radiating lights, the shield looked like a metal one and released a strong breath.

“It’s my Blue Qi Shield, which can withstand a full blow from a half-step congenital grandmaster. Ding Hao, use all strength to hit it. Break the shield and that’ll prove yourself. Remember, do not rely on your weapons.”

Peak Master Luo said quietly.

Ding Hao nodded, and under the gaze of everyone, he flicked his fingers.

A crystal hexagram snowflake flew out slowly like a fairy.

Everyone fixed their eyes on it.

As the silver snowflake rapidly hit on the Blue Qi Shield, a layer of visible coldness spread around and covered the shield. Crack! The next moment, the shield was full of cracks and broke into pieces quickly.

In the hall, there was dead silence.

Those masters who had experienced strong winds and waves now looked at Ding Hao with a deep shock, with evident astonishment in their eyes. From now on, they knew that they had to re-examine the humble nominal disciple they had completely ignored before.

In less than a year, Ding Hao grew into a congenital grandmaster from an ordinary person, which seriously illustrated one thing!
