Chapter 1191 The Chess Player and the Pawn
“Damn it!” Ding Hao attacked the tactical deployment with all his strength, but he couldn’t break it in a short time.
He could only watch as the fire artificer enter Zhang Fan’s body little by little, and the surrounding dark power, like a whale sucking water, all went deep into Zhang Fan’s body. Zhang Fan’s expression began to gradually become stiff and then twisted little by little. There were ink-colored stripes on the surface of his skin, which looked like tattoos.
“Ah, what a perfect body! Although so many great eras have passed, it’s worth it!”
Zhang Fan’s body began to move slowly, and his movements were a little stiff. At the same time, his eyes changed. His originally simple and mellow eyes became fierce and ferocious. With the mysterious black blood-like patterns wandering on the surface of his skin, his temperament had changed greatly, and he no longer looked like the man he was.
“Haha, hahahaha…”
The sinister laughter stirred up the sea, and the ice-cold seawater began to boil. The fire artificer was reborn.
He completely occupied Zhang Fan’s body. An incredibly terrifying force broke out. The dark formation that had existed for thousands of years also slowly operated, like a black hole that appeared out of thin air. It released an incomparable suction force. Suddenly, the entire world was filled with a steady flow of dark power elements, which frantically gathered toward this place.
Ding Hao punched out.
The Reincarnation Power of yin and yang and the power of the sword and saber burst out at the same time and finally broke the isolation power of the tactical deployment.
“Get out of Xiaofan’s body.” Ding Hao went deep into the lightning and came to the fire artificer in an instant. He punched out, and a horrifying power broke out.
The fire artificer only smiled and did not dodge at all. He opened his arms, as though he was going to meet the punch.
Just as Ding Hao’s punch was about to land on the fire artificer’s body, he withdrew his fist and returned to his original place like lightning.
“It’s Zhang Fan’s body. I can’t… I can’t destroy it!”
“Hahaha, you’re afraid of hurting me. Are you soft-hearted? No, you won’t hurt me at all because it’s Zhang Fan’s body. Haha, Ding Hao, do you think I’ve just begun to pay attention to you? No, I’ve been observing you since you made your debut in the Sage Battlefield. I know your character too well. People like you are destined to lose to me. You’ll end up just like Xuan Tianzong.”
The fire artificer burst into laughter.
Ding Hao’s face was darkened.
“You… you’re the real Hades True Immortal!” The Bright Moon Immortal widened her beautiful eyes and looked at the fire artificer. “So, everything before was fake, and Master was also killed by you?”
The fire artificer’s eyes fell on Bright Moon Immortal. He smiled and said, “That’s right. Xuan Tianzong is just an ignorant old fool. He’s extremely hypocritical. Why did you think he took me in back then? Heh, do you really think I’m just an ordinary stupid fire artificer? That old man could see that I have an eternal body of darkness. He took me in with ill intention from the very beginning and wanted to refine my power…”
“You’re wrong.” Bright Moon Immortal interrupted him and shouted, “Master must have just wanted to dissolve your dark power. He did it for your sake…”
“Shut up!” the fire artificer shouted. “For my sake? He suppressed my power and didn’t impart true Immortal Tao techniques to me! He did everything in his power to torment me! And he sealed the power I was born with. He did all of that for my sake? I DON’T WANT THAT!”
He seemed to have recalled the past, and he looked extremely furious.
“Master just didn’t want you to fall into darkness forever. You should know that Master…” Bright Moon Immortal still wanted to say something.
“Haha, hahaha, I don’t want to hear this anymore. Bright Moon, do you know why I’ve kept you here all these years?” There was a kind of strange calmness in the fire artificer’s rage. He said, “When we were studying in the Nihil Mountain, among the Eight True Immortals, only you would not mock me or look down on me. Sometimes, you even healed me… Bright Moon, if you are willing to stay with me, I won’t make things difficult for you anymore. I will also make you the second eternal lord of this world, second only to me.”
Upon hearing that, Bright Moon Immortal sighed softly.
She looked at the fire artificer and shook her head slowly and firmly. “You’re asking me to associate with a dark tyrant. You want me to stay just to set up your traps. You’ve made up so many lies, so you have to keep some real things to convince others. If it weren’t for me, would Ding Hao believe you? Truth or lies, everything you’ve done is for yourself. Do you think being the second lord would tempt me? Heh…”
The last trace of tranquility in the fire artificer’s eyes finally broke apart when the Bright Moon Immortal finished her words.
He nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll send you to meet the other seven True Immortals soon. And that hypocritical old man will be waiting for you in hell.”
Ding Hao took a step forward and stood in front of Bright Moon Immortal. There was a strange light in his eyes, and the light of the Seven Star-shaped Eyes of Fate shone brightly. The divine chains of runes shuttled back and forth in the void and spread. He said, “You claimed to be just a fire artificer, but you are the real Hades True Immortal, aren’t you? You deceived me in the burial ground of the immortals. Even the two Immortal Kings have probably been fooled by you.”
The fire artificer laughed and said, “Are you trying to buy time? Although your Seven Star-shaped Eyes of Fate is powerful, you can’t see through my essence. Don’t waste your time… Haha, that’s right. In order to deceive those two guys, I spent a lot of effort and even sealed myself in the burial ground for several epochs… Bright Moon is right. I need to tell both truths and lies when I set up a trap. If I only tell lies, my trap will be easy to be seen through.”
A smile suddenly appeared on Ding Hao’s face. “Indeed, it’s not easy to deceive people. It’s even more difficult to deceive people like you.”
“I’ve always been the one lying. No one has ever been able to hide anything from me.” The fire artificer sneered, but in an instant, he caught the meaning behind Ding Hao’s words. “Junior, what do you mean?”
Ding Hao smiled slightly and said, “I mean, you’ve been fooled.”
The fire artificer was stunned. His expression changed, but the next moment, it returned to normal. He sneered and said, “Nonsense. Do you think you can fool me like this?”
Ding Hao smiled and said nothing.
He waved his hand casually, and countless inscriptions flew out, instantly forming a time-space gate around him. With a flash of brilliance, a figure slowly came out of the gate and said, “The disaster of those ages shall be ended today.”
His white clothes fluttered in the wind, and his long hair was as white as snow. He stood tall in the sea like a pile of silver snow, and a strong immortal aura spread out.
Who else could it be but the White-Robed Emperor, Mu Tianyang?
“Aren’t… aren’t you dead?” The fire artificer was really shocked, and his expression changed dramatically.
Mu Tianyang was not a big threat to him. What he really cared about was that since Mu Tianyang was not dead, everything he learned was likely to be a scam. The so-called second battle in the Frozen Peak was simply a play. The worst result was that Xuan Tianzong was likely to be alive.
“If I didn’t die, how could we lure you out? If you didn’t show up, how could the Master Devil find you?” Mu Tianyang sneered.
“Master Devil? Is it that old bastard Xuan Tianzong? Humph, where is he now? Let him come out. Even if he appears, I won’t be afraid…” The fire artificer was furious, but he was obviously afraid. His expression was no longer as relaxed as before.
“You’d better take back your lackey first. She is a self-righteous woman, but you trust her so much. You’re asking for your defeat.” Mu Tianyang waved his hand, and two more figures came out of the light gate. The leading one was Bai Qifeng, the top immortal master of the Divine Central Continent. He held a figure in his hand and threw it out.
Boom!
It was a woman’s figure, thrown in front of the fire artificer.
She was the Moonlight Fairy, Qing Miaoyi.
This woman had turned into thousands of clones, possessing the Xuanyuan Divine Body. The first time Ding Hao saw her on the Golden Boat of the Nine Heavens Mystic Fairies, she almost killed Ding Hao. If Ding Hao had not had a scapegoat doll, he would have died. This demoness had almost ruined Ding Hao’s reputation and made him the target of the entire Divine Central Continent.
“Master, save me…” The Moonlight Fairy trembled.
The fire artificer glanced at the woman, shook his head, and said, “I thought this fool was too stupid, so I wouldn’t let you associate her with me. Who knew… since you have already found out her real identity, you must have already known that she sent me all the news.”
“You wouldn’t only believe in the news told by this woman, but even if you have minions all over the world, so what? When you turn into ashes, they will be discovered by me one by one sooner or later,” Mu Tianyang said slowly.
“It’s a pity that a beautiful woman with the Xuanyuan Divine Body failed to seduce you. Mu Tianyang, you’re not a good person. I’m really surprised that you didn’t use her.” The fire artificer sighed.
He thought that he had seen through human nature. With Mu Tianyang’s personality, which was both good and evil and inflexible, in order to improve his strength to fight against Ding Hao, he would definitely use a woman with a Xuanyuan Divine Body like the Moonlight Fairy. By then, Moonlight’s status in the White-Robed Divine Palace would be improved and it would be of great use to the fire artificer. But the outcome was not within his expectations.
“As a greedy man, you always think that others are as greedy as you.” Ding Hao smiled and said, “You would never get the principles and pride of the White-Robed Emperor.”
The fire artificer looked surprised and bewildered. He was originally a very suspicious and extremely vigilant person, but at this time, he had realized a lot of things. This situation was not under his control, which really made him feel that something was wrong.
“So what? Do you think you’ve won?” The fire artificer sneered.
Ding Hao laughed and said, “Of course, I’ve won. The Earth Sight Pavilion, as well as those spies you planted in this world, have all been eliminated by me. You don’t have a foundation anymore. Everything you planned for thousands of years has been destroyed. How would you rise again? And now, you can only turn to ashes.”
The fire artificer looked shocked again.
The Earth Sight Pavilion was a pawn he had set up in the Land of Divine Grace. He did it very secretly, but it was still discovered.
In other words, the other sects and forces that he’d planted as spies must have been destroyed.
