Supreme Emperor of Swords-Novel

Chapter 966 Battle of the Chosen

She was Yu Miejue.

She was the woman from the Southern Land whom Ding Hao had seen in the Towering Buddha Pagoda. She had obtained the God-suppressing Seal in the battle for the Three Great Divine Artifacts. She had once fought side by side with Ding Hao. She was a powerful and mysterious woman with many masters under her command.

Ding Hao saw two nearly identical bald hunks standing beside her.

They were Arnold and Schwarz.

Enegger was not with them.

The two bald hunks stood respectfully beside Yu Miejue and glanced around vigilantly. The three of them seemed aloof and detached in the crowd. Yu Miejue’s aura was very cold and she had a forbidding manner. Some small groups who originally wanted to draw them over to their side were hesitating.

Ding Hao didn’t expect that Yu Miejue and the others would appear in the Land of Divine Grace.

After being slightly stunned, Ding Hao immediately guessed that something might have happened in the Southern Land. Something like a chessboard formation might have appeared and it had teleported some forces in the Southern Land to the Land of Divine Grace. In this way, not just the situation in the Northern Region changed dramatically at that time.

An idea came to Ding Hao’s mind and he quietly moved in the direction of Yu Miejue.

Arnold’s eyes fell on Ding Hao immediately, and all his nerves were tense. He was ready to take action. The strength of the bald giant was much more powerful than before. His physical strength and Tattoo Beast Power seemed not to have been weakened too much by the suppressive power, and there was a powerful aura bursting out.

Ding Hao did not get too close to them but just smiled faintly at them.

Yu Miejue’s eyes had been focused on Little Ape King. She suddenly looked up at this moment as if she had sensed something. A trace of surprise flashed through her cold eyes. She glanced at Ding Hao, and a trace of doubt flashed on her face. Then her eyes focused on Little Ape King again.

Little Ape King obviously felt Yu Miejue’s gaze and frowned slightly.

He felt the eyes of this extremely beautiful girl, who was full of animated courage, were filled with strong fighting desire but not hatred. It was a feeling of being targeted as prey. He held the gold battle rod in his hand tightly out of his instinctive feeling of being threatened.

Right at this moment—

“The Battle of the Chosen begins!” An ancient mechanical voice without any emotion sounded without warning in the Golden Divine Hall. Before the crowd could understand, a golden light column had shone down from the dome, just enough to envelop a person.

A master from the Feather Clan was the first one to be illuminated by the golden light column.

His expression changed, and he was about to avoid the light column. At this time, the golden light column flashed on its own, rapidly changing and constantly moving from one man to another as if it were a neon lamp for rock music.

Just when everyone was surprised, there was a sudden tinkling sound. Finally, the golden light column fell on a master in black armor from the God’s Palace and stopped.

Everyone’s eyes fell on the man at the same time.

The black-armored master from the God’s Palace looked confused.

The next moment, the golden light disappeared with a swoosh. The black-armored master from the God’s Palace had also disappeared.

This was a master at the peak of the Martial Sage Realm. After being weakened by the suppressive power between heaven and earth, his combat strength should be in the Semi Martial King Realm. Among the more than 100 people in the Gold Divine Hall, he was only below average. However, his sudden disappearance still made everyone around him instinctively retreat.

Where did he go? What had happened? A creepy feeling rose in everyone’s heart.

“Look over there…” Someone suddenly pointed at the huge crystal in the middle of the Gold Divine Hall and shouted. Ding Hao looked over and was also slightly shocked because the black-armored master from the God’s Palace, who had been teleported away by the golden light column, appeared on the wall of the crystal.

The wall of this huge crystal was like a huge LCD screen, transmitting an image from an unknown place.

The black-armored master from the God’s Palace was looking around with vigilance and surprise. The space around him was surrounded by clouds and mist. It was a gold fighting ring with a diameter of one kilometer. Four gold pillars stood tall, and the pattern of coiling dragons, which looked alive, was carved on them. There were golden inscriptions flying around like dragons, enveloping the entire golden fighting ring.

The next moment, another golden light flashed.

Another figure was teleported to this golden fighting ring.

It was a master of the Beast Clan with the head of a tiger and the body of a human. His head was that of a white tigress and on its forehead, there was a pattern formed by three horizontal lines and a vertical line, which looked as if it were burning. He was burly, and there was a thick striped white tail behind his butt. He looked majestic, but his face was also full of surprise and vigilance. Obviously, he had also been teleported to the golden fighting ring by the golden light for some unknown reason.

The moment Little Ape King saw the tiger man, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Many people in the Gold Divine Hall noticed through the huge crystal screen that after finding each other, the master of the God’s Palace and the tiger man were instantly stunned. Then, as if they had suddenly heard something, they looked at each other with hostility.

The black-armored master from the God’s Palace turned into a stream of flowing light and rushed toward the periphery of the golden fighting ring.

However—

Rumble!

The four pillars with coiling dragon patterns shook, and the golden inscriptions flickered. Huge rebound force shook him back to his original place, and blood flew out from the corner of his mouth.

It was obvious that someone had set up a restriction formation on the golden fighting ring. No one could leave.

The master of the Beast Clan with the head of a white tigress roared to the sky and turned into a stream of flowing light. In an instant, he attacked the black-armored master from the God’s Palace. The latter looked panicky and retreated again and again. When he was about to retreat to the edge of the golden fighting ring, he fought back with no choice.

The result of the battle was inevitable.

The beastman with the head of a white tigress was obviously more powerful. The battle only lasted for the time of a few dozens of breaths. The black-armored master from the God’s Palace was torn into pieces. His innards and intestines were scattered on the ground, and his limbs were shattered.

Seeing this scene on the crystal screen, the masters of the God’s Palace in the Gold Divine Hall all began to roar in rage.

A golden light flickered above the golden fighting ring and shone down, enveloping the beastman with the head of a white tigress. It teleported him away. Then, the crystal screen gradually dimmed. The image on it disappeared from view.

Everyone fell silent.

They knew that what they had just seen was absolutely something that had truly happened.

The black-armored master from the God’s Palace indeed had died miserably.

Where was that golden fighting ring?

The beastman with the head of a white tigress, who had won, was not a creature in the Gold Divine Hall, but was teleported into the fighting ring by the same golden light column. After winning, he was teleported away. Many people instantly realized that there might be more than one Gold Divine Hall, and the beastman with the head of a white tigress might come from another Gold Divine Hall.

Right at this moment—

“The Battle of the Chosen begins.” The ancient mechanical cold voice sounded again.

Similarly, a golden light column shone down from the dome of the divine hall and constantly changed its direction, as if it were choosing a suitable candidate from more than 100 masters. Finally, the golden light column fell on a master from the Feather Clan.

The next moment, the master from the Feather Clan was teleported away.

The crystal screen in the middle of the Gold Divine Hall lit up again. But this time, another golden fighting ring appeared on it. There was a huge gold warrior statue with a height of several thousand meters, which was holding a huge plate with a diameter of more than a kilometer with both hands. The gold plate was the new fighting ring.

The master from the Feather Clan appeared on the plate. He looked as small as an ant.

Soon afterwards, the same golden light teleported over his opponent. It was a teal-robed young man with a silvery armor mask.

After just looking at each other for a moment, both of them apparently heard something. They looked up at the sky in surprise. The master from the Feather Clan seemed to be questioning something, but it was useless. Under the urging of some mysterious reason, he attacked the teal-robed young man first.

He was a six-winged master from the Feather Clan and could be regarded as a lord in the clan. Although his wings were all white and the color was ordinary, his strength was comparable to that of a human master at the peak of the Martial Sage Realm. Under the weakening of the suppressive power between heaven and earth, he was roughly as powerful as a Martial King and could not be underestimated.

The white feathers all over the sky burst out like endless sharp blades and stabbed at the young man.

At this moment—

Swish!

A firework-like light spot suddenly burst out from the shoulder of the teal-robed young man.

That light spot did not look very astonishing. It swayed as if it would go out and disappear at any time, but it instantly shattered the white feather blades all over the sky. Like a red-hot soldering iron inserted into fresh cheese, it easily separated the wings of the master from the Feather Clan and pierced through his glabella…

Boom!

The body of the six-winged master from the Feather Clan went stiff in the air and then exploded.

“That’s… the Three Thousand Swords!” A human master in the Gold Divine Hall exclaimed. He recognized the origin of that powerful sword attack. It was one of the moves of the unique technique “Three Thousand Swords”, for which the former swordsman Shi Yihuang was famous.

Everyone knew that Shi Yihuang, the legendary master of swordsmanship, had died in the battle in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Before he died, he threw the Three Thousand Swords into the void and wanted to give them to the fated one. Later, many people coveted that unique magical power of swordsmanship and searched everywhere, but they failed to find any trace of it.

This teal-robed young man had performed the Three Thousand Swords.

Could it be that he had obtained Shi Yihuang’s legacy?

Some people’s eyes suddenly became passionate when they looked at the young man. At that moment, many people had the idea of killing him to obtain the secret technique. After all, it was a unique skill left by a legendary master of swordsmanship 16 years ago. No one would not be tempted.

Ding Hao’s eyes were also fixed on this young man. Follow current s on ɴo(v)elFɪre.net

The young man’s teal robe gave him a sense of intimacy.

However, the crystal screen quickly dimmed and the teal-robed young man was teleported away by the golden light.

“The Battle of the Chosen begins!”

The familiar ancient cold voice sounded again in the Gold Divine Hall. The golden light shining down from the dome began to choose in the crowd again. Many people were on tenterhooks. Now everyone had understood that the person selected by the golden light would be teleported to a certain fighting ring and fight a life-and-death battle with an unpredictable opponent.

Finally, the golden light fixed on Ding Hao.
