Chapter 534 - At the Crucial Moment

Ding Hao moved and threw a punch and shook the corpse away.

In the third section of the Ancient Road, which was full of fog, the sneak attacks of those fog monsters that appeared silently had already made Ding Hao agile. Now, no sneak attack could surprise Ding Hao. He responded instinctively and his response was as fast as lightning.

“Give my head back…” The corpse in an ancient costume was as tough as steel. After being punched by Ding Hao, it was only pushed back a few meters, and then it immediately rushed up.

Without a head, it could still make a sound, which was really weird.

Ding Hao was surprised in his mind.

“Its physical strength could endure my punch and it was not smashed. The strength of this corpse is comparable to that of an expert at the Martial Emperor realm.

“I’m afraid that when it was alive, it was definitely a very horrible martial arts master.”

“Boom!”

Ding Hao punched again.

This punch contained the power of Heaven Fire Qi.

With a flash of flame, a raging fire instantly wrapped around the corpse.

In a few seconds, the corpse, which was as tough as iron, was burned to ashes.

Heaven Fire Qi contained the mysterious power of earth, and it had been absorbing the essence of the earth and heaven for thousands of years. Moreover, after being cast by Ding Hao, it was very powerful. So with it, refining such a corpse was not difficult at all.

Ding Hao was curious about why the corpse, which had been dead for thousands of years, suddenly had vitality.

He carefully examined the corpse but failed to figure out the reason.

Ding Hao was not good at figuring it out.

Along the way, Ding Hao began to get used to all the misery he had witnessed.

This kind of miserable scene seemed to be able to train his Divine Senses. Ding Hao ran the Mind Essential and vaguely felt that his Divine Senses, which had been stuck in the sixth level of A World inside the Body, showed signs of a breakthrough. This discovery made him extremely surprised.

“Does this wretched and bloody world exist to temper a warrior’s will?”

Ding Hao made such a guess.

Along the way, under the guidance of Ji Yingqi, Ding Hao did not get lost again.

From time to time, some kinds of strange corpses suddenly came back to life. They jumped up and attacked Ding Hao.

However, with his current strength, Ding Hao was definitely one of the most powerful people of the two clans who had entered the Sage Battlefield. He had resolved all the crises with ease.

What made Evil Moon, the Fat Cat, indignant was that these horrible corpses were of no use to it.

Many times, Evil Moon hoped to find one or two crystals from the pile of corpses that had been burned by Heaven Fire Qi, but unfortunately, its wish was not fulfilled. In the end, Evil Moon even began to take the clothes off of these bodies, trying to take off these very mysterious armors from the bodies.

However, no matter how strange and magical these clothes and armors looked, as soon as they were removed from the bleeding corpses, they would turn into ashes and disappear.

“F**k, I don’t want to come to this desolate section of Ancient Road anymore!” Evil Moon said angrily.

“Hahaha!” The little dolphin, Adorable, who had locked itself in the bubble, agreed with it.

Ding Hao and Ji Yingqi both laughed.

At first, Ji Yingqi couldn’t get used to it. Now, she finally got used to everything here.

She was a very strong girl. After suffering from the pain of Nine Yin Meridian Severance for so many years, she had already developed an incomparably tough mind. Not long ago, she saw her only brother, whom she shared her life with, die miserably right before her eyes. For Ji Yingqi, it seemed that there was nothing in the world that could destroy her mentally.

This was later the omnipotent Supreme Lady of Jade province that had been eulogized by countless popular songs of the Human Clan. How could she remain calm and collected even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of her? And how could she save the situation at critical times?

Because no one knew what she had experienced before she rose to power.

Going through the West Journey to the Ancient Road was also an important chance for Ji Yingqi, who had no martial arts cultivation at all, to progress.

This Ancient Road full of corpses and blood was not very long.

After about a day’s walk, Ding Hao came to the end of the Ancient Road full of corpses and blood.

Here, Ding Hao finally caught up with Song Que, Demon Royal Bu Tianjue, and the others of the Demon Clan and Human Clan.

More than a hundred people stopped at the end of the Ancient Road.

They were fatigued from the journey. Some of them were injured, while others looked very tired.

The Human Clan and the Demon Clan were separated from each other. The atmosphere between them was not very friendly, but it was not so tense. The number of people who had embarked on the journey was more than several thousand, and after such a long adventure, only the most talented experts of the two clans had survived. As for the people and demons who did not appear, they had obviously died on the Ancient Road.

One-tenth of the elites from the two clans had been sleeping forever on this Ancient Road.

The reason why these people stayed here was not to wait for Ding Hao, but because without the 10th stone tablet map, they could not open the purple whirlpool door leading to the 11th section of the Ancient Road. Therefore, they could only wait here.

Each time a new adventurer appeared, it would attract the attention of the Human and Demon clans.

Ding Hao’s appearance naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

“Huh? Brother Ding, you finally caught up!” The fat man, Song Que, immediately laughed and came out to greet them. “We haven’t seen each other in such a long time. I thought you were not interested in the mysterious ruins any more… Hey? Who is this beautiful girl? Another sister-in-law?”

“Fatty!” Ding Hao’s face darkened as he was hugged by Song Que.

Lin Tianhao and Wang Linghe also came out.

Bai Quanshui from the Extermination Swordsmanship Sect was also in the crowd.

Most of the human expert’s faces lit up with joy.

Along the way, although the Human Clan and the Demon Clan lived in peace most of the time, it was inevitable for them to fight against each other secretly. The Demon Clan always had the upper hand relying on its number of experts. Most of the Fated Chances, magic materials, and medicines were grabbed by the Demon Clan because the Human Clan was at a disadvantage.

If it weren’t for the support of Song Que, Bai Quanshui, and the others, the Human Clan might have been swallowed by the Demon Clan long ago.

Many human talents were worried that once they reached the end of the Ancient Road, the Demon Clan might suddenly fall out with them. It was possible that the Human Clan would perish.

Now, Ding Hao appeared.

The Human Clan had gained another supreme expert.

Saber and Sword Addict, these four words, was the awe-inspiring fame gained by Ding Hao after fighting many fierce battles.

Especially in the battle of Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, Ding Hao triumphed. That made the demons in the Sage Battlefield all stand in awe of him. The name Saber and Sword Addict was even more deterrent to the Demon Clan than the names Song Que and Bai Quanshui, the two supreme superiors of the Human Clan.

In the distance…

The reaction of the Demon Clan was the complete opposite.

“Hehe, I didn’t expect that this guy wouldn’t die…” Demon Royal Bu Tianjue said and laughed gloomily in the distance.

Demonic Bear Emperor, Miluo Spider Emperor, and the others had deliberately been left behind. He knew exactly what they were planning to do.

He had thought that they would be able to eliminate this hidden danger by making careful preparations and sneak attacks, but he didn’t expect this guy to come here alive. This meant that those supreme experts of the Demon Clan had probably perished.

He had more scruples for Ding Hao in his heart.

“Even though he’s just a mortal and doesn’t have the bloodline, I still want to taste his blood…” the supreme expert from the Ancient Demon Clan of Silver Moon thought, his eyes gleaming brightly.

The other supreme experts of the Demon Clan also showed hostility.

The Human Clan and the Demon Clan had been fighting against each other for thousands of years, so the hatred between them had long been difficult to resolve. The appearance of a brilliant genius in the Human Clan was a huge threat to the Demon Clan, which was not what they wanted to see. If possible, they would certainly eliminate the potential threat in the cradle.

Under the gaze of the demonic experts, Ding Hao entered the Human Clan camp.

“Hmm?” The moment he entered the camp, Ding Hao was surprised to find that the silver ring on his finger was shining with a bright silver light.

“This meant that…”

A wave of ecstasy drowned Ding Hao in an instant.

“The disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect also came here?”

“Who could it be?”

“Boom! Boom!”

Unparalleled sword Qi, with an earth-shattering aura, crazily attacked the Swordsmanship-seeking Mountain Range.

Layers of inscription formations were destroyed easily. Fumes and flames, like lead clouds, rose into the sky.

“Retreat, retreat quickly!”

Wang Juefeng stood in front of the last pass, San Shui, shouting anxiously and angrily.

Unfortunately, the destructive sword light poured down from the sky and instantly drowned a large area of space in front of Wang Juefeng. He saw with his own eyes that before the disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect could retreat, they were drowned by the sword light and turned into bloody mist…

“Swoosh!”

A streak of sword light shot toward him.

Wang Juefeng ran his martial arts cultivation to confront the attack with all his strength.

“Boom!”

He was directly blown away. The long sword in his hand could not bear the force of the light, and it broke into pieces.

“Pfft!” Wang Juefeng spat out blood, and his body shook. Then he had no strength to fight again.

The figures in the sky were like Demons or Gods. They were so powerful that he could not withstand them at all.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Steaks of sword light poured down mercilessly.

“Senior Brother Wang, go…” With a roar, a figure rushed over and grabbed Wang Juefeng’s shoulder and moved to the door. It was Jade Master, who had been his enemy in the past. At this time, he took the risk to come out and save Wang Juefeng.

The moment when the sect was in danger, his former opponents also put aside their personal grievances and fought side by side.

However, Jade Master’s situation was not much better. He was covered in blood and no longer had his graceful and noble temperament. His hair was disheveled, and one of his arms was mutilated. Blood was gushing out of his wound like a fountain. He was out of breath. His remaining arm was tightly holding Wang Juefeng.

“Hahaha, escape? To where? Today, I’m going to kill all the people in the Swordsmanship-seeking Mountain Range. Haha, haha!”

An extremely arrogant voice echoed in the sky, like a mighty god making a judgment. Immediately, another sword light, which was as fast as a shooting star, chased after them.
