Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 77 The Dark Figure

The moment before the dark figure appeared, Evil Moon complained, “Meow, why hasn’t Ding Tong appeared yet? I’ve been waiting for a few hours. If it goes on like this…”

At this moment, they were hiding in the void in a corner of the imperial palace.

There was no aura coming out of them at all. Even if someone walked past them, they would not be detected.

When Evil Moon was about to keep complaining, it saw a bolt of black lightning striking out, and then a figure came out of it. It could not help exclaiming, “Hmm? What strange lightning! Someone, someone came out of the lightning. Is it Ding Tong…”

Ding Hao had been silent. His eyes were fixed on the dark figure as if he wanted to see something.

…

At the same time, that dark figure looked down. He looked at Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai and emitted a low and deep voice, “Since you have used this jade pendant to summon me, you must have succeeded. Wonderful. The subsequent plan can be carried out…”

Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai did not speak. They stood there quietly, listening to the words of the dark figure, just like subordinates.

“Hmm?” At this moment, the dark figure seemed to have noticed something. His eyes hidden in the dark suddenly shot out a cold light. His eyes were extremely cold, like the eyes of the Devil, making the spectators feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave and couldn’t help trembling.

Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai had been in a high position for many years, and their state of mind was many times stronger than that of ordinary people. But when they sensed this person’s eyes, they still couldn’t help trembling. They became panicked, and some greasy sweat appeared on their palms.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At that moment, there was a sudden noise from below. In the direction of the place near the city gate of the Gold Yang City, gold light suddenly burst out, spiraled up, and turned into six shocking beams of light, like six gold dragons soaring into the sky in six directions.

Within the light beams, there was the faint roar of a dragon. The sound shook the world and made people tremble.

The moment the six beams of light were formed, they respectively secreted six beams of gold light. Eighteen beams of gold light were connected to each other to form a mysterious tactical deployment.

At this moment, some sort of energy seemed to have appeared in the heavens and the earth, and it was the energy of a restriction formation.

The power of the restriction formation was everywhere, even seeping into the void, making it impossible for people to pass through the void and escape.

“Is it a tactical deployment or a trapping formation… Are you going to trap me and attack me? Humph, it’s ridiculous…” It was unknown whether it was because of the dark figure’s character or something else, but at this moment, his voice was still calm. However, Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai still noticed that the tone of this Lord Ding was faintly undulating.

“How can a small tactical deployment trap me? Destruction!” The dark figure’s palm trembled. Immediately, the terrifying power of the rules gathered around him. A huge palm print suddenly appeared in the sky above him. It was as if it was going to cover the whole sky.

The huge palm print, with the power to look down on the world, rumbled toward a certain part of the tactical deployment. Horrible light burst out. Just as the people of the Evil Yang Tribe who had just noticed the abnormal movement exclaimed, the palm print had touched the tactical deployment.

An enormous explosion erupted. Lightning interweaved endlessly, causing everyone to tremble with fear.

Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai trembled violently. Even though they were experts at the middle level of the Eternal Realm, they were actually unable to resist the attack of the black figure at all.

They believed that if that attack were to land on them, they would definitely not be able to withstand it.

“You can’t break the tactical deployment like this. You’d better stay here obediently!” At this time, a voice suddenly spread in the void, and then a cyan shadow appeared in the sky.

Ding Hao appeared.

It seemed that to verify what Ding Hao said, after the horrible palm print burst out the strongest power, it gradually weakened. In the end, after it completely dissipated, it failed to break through the tactical deployment.

As for Evil Moon, it stood in the void in the distance, flapping its wings and looking at them silently.

The dark figure turned around. The thick black air made it impossible to see his face clearly. At this moment, when he saw Ding Hao, he suddenly sneered and did not say anything. His body directly rushed out and penetrated the void. He waved his palm violently, and suddenly the sky seemed to collapse and pressed down on Ding Hao.

Terrifying dark power burst out from his palm. At this moment, it seemed that the palm of the dark figure was not a human hand, but a palm of a dark Devil. The rich dark power made people prostrate.

The dark figure didn’t seem surprised by Ding Hao’s appearance at all. He didn’t panic at all. Instead, he laughed and ran his power, trying to fight with Ding Hao.

Standing there, Ding Hao remained calm. It seemed that he did not feel the horrible power within, but the people of the Evil Yang Tribe below were all shocked. Although they had not come close to the dark figure, they still felt terrible pressure, which could easily destroy them.

Before Ding Hao spoke, there was suddenly a dazzling light around him, and an extremely hot light of fire was blooming. At this moment, it seemed that the world had become bright. A fire gold saber appeared in Ding Hao’s hand. It was the Blood-drinking Mad Saber, also the original Devil Saber.

With a wave of the Devil Saber, the blazing flames hung around Ding Hao like several suns.

He suddenly waved his arm, and the hot fire suddenly exploded forward. With a terrifying explosion sound, the fire of the Devil Saber collided with the dark power of the dark figure. The two collided and rushed into the sky as if they were going to destroy the sky. It was extremely stunning.

The dark figure’s hands trembled, and the dark power surged like a river. Suddenly, there seemed to be ancient peaks formed by the dark power in the sky above Ding Hao. They kept rolling down from the sky and rushing to Ding Hao.

Ding Hao held the Blood-drinking Mad Saber in his hand and stood there like an unshakable god. His Saber Qi was swirling, and there was also fire in it. It turned into Saber Qi with fire and chopped toward the peaks that were pressing down.

“Shatter!” Ding Hao said calmly, but there was an irrefutable aura in his voice as if what he ordered would happen the next moment.

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying rumbling sound continuously rang out as the numerous dark peaks in the sky crumbled and transformed into dust that drifted down. It was like a rain of dust in the sky, but the dust was black.

As soon as the dark peaks were destroyed and turned into dust, Ding Hao heard the dark figure’s sneer. Not far away, the dark figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind Ding Hao.

He threw a punch straight at the spine of Ding Hao.

The punch of the dark figure was extremely fast. When it was swung, dazzling flames were made in the void, which were as bright as fireworks. It could be seen how horrifying the power they contained was.

Anyone, even someone as strong as Ding Hao, would probably be injured when they were hit. When Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai were worried about Ding Hao, they quietly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the next scene.

Ding Hao immediately turned around, and his sharp eyes were extremely sharp. The Devil Saber, like a glowing light, chopped at the dark figure’s punch. The incomparably sharp Devil Saber collided with the dark figure’s fist. When a gorgeous fire burst out, it was accompanied by the sharp sound of metal collision.

The dark figure snorted and took a step forward. His other hand directly sent out a palm force toward Ding Hao. A meteor-like beam of light rushed toward Ding Hao. It seemed that it was going to blow him up.

Ding Hao showed a smile on his face. The Devil Saber trembled slightly and burst out with terrifying power, instantly flicking away the punch and also breaching another attack of the dark figure, which directly sent his whole body flying. After breaching the opponent’s attack with one blow, Ding Hao did not intend to stop. A streak of monstrous Saber Qi slashed down and rushed to the black figure.

The dark figure trembled slightly and stopped flying backward. But at this moment, the Saber Qi had come to him. Its speed was so fast that he had no time to escape.

Just as he was about to be hit, suddenly, he roared out loud, and astonishing dark strength erupted from him. The dark power shrouding his body became even thicker. At this time, it was like his body was covered in a layer of dark armor. It was as thick as a mountain and seemed as if it could not be destroyed.

Since he couldn’t avoid it, he would take it head-on.

However, the dark figure seemed to have underestimated this Saber Qi. When it was printed on his body, it split into tens of thousands of wisps of Saber Qi, which carried the power to destroy everything in the world and bombarded him.

The dark armor was broken and cracked. The Saber Qi bombarded his body, causing his internal organs to tremble, and the dark air around him dissipated a lot. It seemed that it would disappear at any time, revealing his true appearance.

When Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai saw this scene, they were shocked and could not help but relax a lot. Previously, when they handed over the black jade pendant, they had already shown that they were on Ding Hao’s side. Since Ding Hao could win, how could they not be relieved?

However, the dark figure trembled slightly, and the dark power, which had been reduced a lot, suddenly increased rapidly, even stronger than before. When the dark power was about to erupt, he arched up and shot out like a cannonball at Ding Hao.

At this moment, the dark figure seemed to have become more ferocious. The dark power, like fierce tides, surged toward Ding Hao as if it was going to drown him.

However, at this time, Ding Hao rushed to the dark figure like a bolt of lightning. He slashed the Devil Saber in his hand again. The horrifying Devil Saber fell on the dark figure, making him twitch violently. The gathering dark air, like tidewater, came and went quickly, and even seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

The dark figure stood in the void and took a few steps back. It seemed that he had been seriously injured.

The dark air surrounding him gradually dissipated, from his feet upward. It seemed that soon, he would be revealed.

Seeing the battle in the sky and thinking that Lord Ding, who seemed to be invincible, was finally about to be defeated by Ding Hao, Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai were finally relieved.

Evil Moon was not surprised. It seemed to be very confident in Ding Hao.

Ding Hao did not continue to attack. Instead, he stood there and frowned slightly. He had won a great victory in this battle, but he did not seem to be very happy.

Finally, the dark air revealed that the black figure was wearing a black close-fitting robe, which was about to reach his neck and face. When he was completely revealed, the dark air suddenly stopped dissipating.
