Supreme Emperor of Swords-Novel

Chapter 577 Keeping His Words

The disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect were startled by what was happening in front of them. Some secretly pinched their thighs, fearing that this was only a dream. As the pain shot up, they noticed how the scene had not disappeared like bubbles. The expressions on their faces changed from anxiety to ecstasy.

They all tightly covered their mouths to prevent themselves from exclaiming, in fear of ruining the atmosphere at this moment.

They wished to remember what had happened for the rest of their lives.

At their most desperate moment, the formerly bleak and cruel world had suddenly brightened for them.

Happiness arrived too unexpectedly.

“By the way, Senior Brother Ren, what... what did you say just now?” Li Yunqi, who had been confused, suddenly realized something and asked, “You said that Senior Brother Ding defeated... defeated three martial emperors in the Sage Battlefield? Three emperors? Could it be...”

Hearing this, Ren Xiaoyao laughed triumphantly.

“Haha, you are right. Senior Brother Ding is already capable of killing a Martial Emperor. In the past six months while in the Sage Battlefield, Senior Brother Ding reclaimed the long forbidden Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower and made a name for himself. The three princes of the Tianning Dynasty in the Ning Province would not dare speak aloud in front of him. Hehe, those dumb demons provoked Senior Brother Ding and suffered a lot. At least four Demon Royals were killed. Bai Quanshui, the number one of the young generation in the Extermination Swordsmanship Sect, the leading sect in the Sword Province, and Song Que, the young leader of the Green Cloud Sect in the Green Province were brothers to Senior Brother Ding. Hehe, the exceptional geniuses from big and small sects in the Northern Region all followed Senior Brother Ding’s lead. Haha, who in this Snow Province is capable of fighting against Senior Brother Ding?”

Silence fell in the War God Square.

These words were clearly heard by everyone.

Every word was like a clap of thunder, ringing in their ears.

Their minds went blank.

“Reclaimed the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower, a forbidden place that has been sealed for thousands of years?”

“Three Emperors of the Ning Province were submissive in his presence?”

“Bai Quanshui of the Extermination Sword Sect and Song Que of the Green Cloud Sect are his brothers?”

“He killed Demon Royals?”

“Impressed the geniuses across the Northern Region?”

“Is... this true?”

“It sounds like a legend!”

Snow Province was just the smallest province in the Northern Region. How could such an unprecedented genius come from it?

If Li Yunqi remembered correctly, before Ding Hao entered the Sage Battlefield, he had only reached the Inborn Martial Grandmaster realm. He didn’t even rank first on the List of Talents of Snow Province. Within just half a year, he was already strong enough to kill Demon Royals? He must have at least entered the Martial Royal Realm.

“It’s incredible.”

“Could it be that this little fatty is boasting?”

However, this couldn’t be so. Just then, Ding Hao had almost killed the former top master of the Human Clan in Snow Province with one foot. Such power was something they had never seen or heard of.

“Senior... Senior Brother Ren, all the things you said... are all the things you said true?” Li Yunqi and the others could feel that their hearts were about to jump out of their chests. They were too nervous and excited, for fear that this unreliable little fat man would chuckle and say that he was just messing with them.

“Then what’s the real deal?” Ren Xiaoyao chuckled and said, “Even my strength has grown considerably.”

Before he finished speaking.

Ren Xiaoyao transformed into flowing light; he disappeared in a flash and returned in the next instant.

When he came back, he reappeared with a man in tow.

It was Jin Xiang, the head of the Golden Gate Sect.

Although the Golden Gate Sect was not one of the nine major sects in Snow Province, it enjoyed a decent standing. They had participated in the Sect Grading Meeting in Snow Province. Otherwise, the Tranquility Academy would not accept it as one of its allies. Its head, Jin Xiang, having entered the Great Master realm in his early years, was also one of the famous experts in Snow Province.

However, Ren Xiaoyao subdued him in an instant.

At this time, the Golden Gate sect head looked pale. His whole body trembled like a leaf, and his Qi cultivation had been completely sealed. He lost the ability to fight back; he couldn’t move at all while being held by Ren Xiaoyao.

“Hehe, what do you think? This dude is one of the accomplices. We can’t let him go today. Jin Xiang? Hehe, I will make you truly shine today. How should we deal with this fence-sitter, everyone?” Ren Xiaoyao threw Jin Xiang on the ground and sneered.

“Kill him!”

“Cut him into pieces!”

“We can’t grant him a quick death. This bastard’s hands were soaked with blood of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect disciples...”

The emotional disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect rushed towards him, all eager to eat Jin Xiang alive.

During those days, in order to show his loyalty to the Tranquility Academy, the head of Golden Gate Sect had killed an astounding number of disciples from the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. He had also created a lot of cruel punishments to torture the captured disciples. The guillotine and the big frying pot were all Jin Xiang’s ideas.

“No, no, no, I... I was wrong. Young Masters... Grandpa, please spare me. Please give me a chance...”

Jin Xiang was so frightened that his whole body trembled as he pleaded. There was no trace of haughtiness and imperiousness left in him. He looked like a pitiful creature.

“Nonsense!” Li Yunqi kicked him. He pointed to the boiling oil pot in the distance and said, “Boil this son of a b*tch alive to avenge Junior Brother Zhao!”

This proposal was unanimously agreed by all the disciples.

Just then, a golden light flashed, and a stream of flame enveloped Jin Xiang. In a flash, he was shoved into the boiling oil pot in which Zhao Xingcheng had been tortured.

This time, it was Ding Hao who took revenge.

A miserable scream was heard, akin to the sound of a pig being slaughtered. Jin Xiang was struggling in the oil pan frantically.

He wanted to crawl out of the oil pot. Unfortunately, the oil pot was specially designed by himself to prevent the entrapped from climbing out. Not to mention that the iron pot was already red-hot, so it was impossible to escape. The intense pain made him howl and struggle madly.

Unfortunately, no one came to help.

No one dared to.

Jin Xiang, an expert at the Great Master realm, had a much stronger physical strength and vitality than ordinary people. Even though his Qi cultivation had been sealed, he would not die easily, so he could only suffer the endless pain in the boiling oil pot.

Jin Xiang roared like a wild beast. Everyone in the War God Square felt chills in their hearts and couldn’t help but shiver.

Ding Hao’s eyes fell on the other masters close to the guillotine.

Those men, who had planned to sneak away quietly, were almost paralyzed; they returned to their seats when Ding Hao looked at them.

Ding Hao snorted and stomped on the spot. Golden patterns spread out from his feet.

In the twinkling of an eye, a terrible force extended from those golden patterns. Like a golden transparent shield, it enveloped the entire War God Square. This restriction was many times stronger than the one placed by the Tranquility Academy. It was so mighty that it covered the entire place and no one could escape.

“Iron Spear Sect, Mystery Sect, Spiritual Sect, Wuji Sect, Divine Sword Sect, and the Five Blessings Sect... You have also participated in the conspiracy against the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, haven’t you?” Ding Hao’s eyes were like knives, sharp and unstoppable. “All of you must pay the price!”

The heads of the sects which had been mentioned all looked pale and were trembling.

They wanted to explain, but they didn’t know what to say.

It was too late for that.

They had made a big mistake. When they attacked the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, no one could foresee that such a horrible creature would suddenly appear. After entering the Sage Battlefield for half a year, he accomplished what would take many martial artists hundreds of years to finish. How daunting it was to kill Demon Royals! Just thinking about it made their hair stand on end.

“Ah... ah...” Jin Xiang’s scream gradually faded away.

Wisps of a burnt smell wafted from the pot.

This executioner, whose hands were stained with the blood of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect disciples had finally died after all the torture.

“Ding... Ding Hao, we are sorry...” The head of the Wuji Sect sighed and said, “Our Wuji Sect was threatened by the Tranquility Academy so we had to attack the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. It was a big and irreparable mistake. I’m willing to bear this sin and commit suicide on the spot. I hope that you can let go of the other members of our sect!”

“Haha, exchanging your pitiful life for the lives of thousands of good men in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. That is some bargain,” Ding Hao sneered and said, “All those who have the blood of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect’s disciples on their hands must die. From now on, the Wuji Sect will no longer exist in the world.”

“You...” The head of Wuji Sect was angry. He wanted to say something, but he could only turn his anger into a silent sigh under Ding Hao’s cold gaze. He nodded in despair. “All right, the disciples of the Wuji Sect who participated in the siege will atone for their mistakes. Please don’t kill the innocent people, let go of the other members of the Wuji Sect.”

Ding Hao’s eyes fell on him. After a long time, he nodded and said, “Well, I’ll give you ten days to go back and deal with the matters of your Sect. After ten days, there will be no Wuji Sect in the world. If you dare to play tricks, I will hunt down you to the ends of the world and wipe out your sect. No one will be spared.”

The head of the Wuji Sect nodded with a wry smile.

Before he could even react, he felt a flash of golden light envelop him; he was transmitted out of the War God Square.

The crowd was shocked again.

Ding Hao’s power was really invincible. He could change the world with his mind.

The disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect who were present burst into cheers.

Some were so excited that tears started running down their faces.

Their hope of reviving the sect was right before their eyes. Ding Hao’s unparalleled strength could indeed dominate the entire Snow Province. They didn’t know if the legendary Great Sage of the Demon Clan, the Deity Phoenix, could defeat Ding Hao, but among the top masters of the Human Clan, there was absolutely no one who could compete with him.

Ding Hao’s eyes fell on the other sect heads.
