Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 83 The Dark Spring

In the dark city, another fierce battle broke out.

Ding Hao also took action with the masters of the Charm Tribe.

Every time he pointed out with his finger or waved his sleeve, waves of terrifying energy would surge out like raging waves and swallow up thousands of dark creatures.

Qin Menglan’s strength wasn’t weak either. On this new battlefield, she was like a celestial fairy. Her figure swayed like a lotus flower that drifted with the wind, causing others to be intoxicated.

When one looked carefully, one would find that she was also like an exceptional War God, looking down on the world. With every wave of her hand, a green shadow would be drawn by her jade sword, and a streak of astonishing sword radiance would fly out and kill large amounts of dark creatures.

The other members of the Charm Tribe were also experts. Although they were not as powerful as Ding Hao and their patriarch, they were also extremely fast and fierce.

The scene was extremely intense, simply like that of an ancient battlefield.

However, although Ding Hao and the others were fierce and had killed countless dark creatures, there were too many of them. Even if they killed a group of them, another group would soon rush up, like an endless sea.

Therefore, Qin Menglan and the others, as well as Ding Hao, stuck to charging forward and killing their way out without staying for too long.

Without a doubt, Ding Hao and the others were like extremely sharp supreme divine weapons that gradually cut through the shield formed by many dark creatures. They were also like the fierce cavalry, making it impossible for many dark creatures to stop them from breaking in.

In the end, they managed to break through the encirclement. However, they had also paid quite a price for it. Many of the tribe’s experts had died.

“In front of us is the imperial palace of the dark city. That dark spring is inside. Humph, you’re courting death…” Qin Menglan pointed ahead. At the same time, she waved her jade sword. In an instant, she had cut a black figure that pounced over into two halves. After that, a streak of scorching hot sword Qi flew out and turned it into ashes.

“The imperial palace of the dark city…”

Ding Hao looked over and found that there was indeed a huge black palace. In front of it, there were many huge black pillars supporting it. Each pillar was engraved with a swirling and lifelike black dragon, which was extremely strange.

There were long stairs in front of the palace, and there were 99 steps in total by each of the stairs.

The stairs were very wide and steep.

“From the beginning to the present, the dark creatures we have met are very bloodthirsty. They have no spiritual intelligence at all. How did they build this dark city and this palace?” Ding Hao looked at the magnificent palace with some doubts in his heart but soon figured things out. “These dark creatures are very likely to have been made by Ding Tong. Maybe Ding Tong ordered them to build the dark city, or maybe he built it by himself to cultivate dark creatures…”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

One black shadow after another rushed over.

There was still some distance from the stairs. Although Ding Hao and the others moved very fast, they were still attacked by dark creatures along the way. Ding Hao and the members of the Charm Tribe had killed them, but there were still many dark creatures.

But in the end, when Ding Hao and the others were nearly 100 meters away from the stairs, those dark creatures did not appear again. Even the dark creatures, who had just appeared and had not taken action yet, seemed to have suddenly lost their target and quietly retreated.

“Strange, they don’t seem to dare to come forward. They were so fierce just now…”

“Perhaps this palace has some sort of influence on them. In short, it looks like they can’t get close to this palace…”

Everyone was pleasantly surprised. Those dark creatures couldn’t approach the palace, but for them, this was good news. At the very least, they didn’t have to worry about the countless dark creatures rushing over.

Without hesitation, Ding Hao and the others immediately climbed the stairs and finally arrived at the palace.

“Hey, why are there two dark creatures here? Human Pet, hurry up and get rid of them. Meow, I’m tired of seeing these things…” Evil Moon flapped its wings and flew to the front. It was the first to find that there were two more dark creatures in front of the palace.

These two dark creatures were also women, just like before, and they were also surrounded by black air. The difference was that the black air on their bodies was much stronger than that of the previous dark creatures. Moreover, Ding Hao could sense from their Qi fluctuations that they were experts at the initial level of the Eternal Realm.

“They, they are elders of the Charm Tribe. I didn’t expect to meet them here…” Qin Menglan looked at them and sighed. “Brother Ding Hao, let’s kill them together. Let’s go in…”

Ding Hao nodded and took a step forward. His whole body surged with horrifying power, which was like a huge wave surging around him. It seemed to be a kind of power that could destroy the world, which made the hearts of the people behind him tremble. It was as if an ancient peak was pressing down on their hearts, making it difficult for them to breathe.

The bloodthirsty eyes of the dark creature on the right shot out a red light, and its hands and feet burst out black air, which was like black elves that kept jumping up and down there. Right after that, the dark creature rushed out toward Ding Hao.

As its palm shot out, the black air spun in the void and turned into a huge and terrifying monster. It roared and opened its huge mouth as if it wanted to swallow Ding Hao.

When Ding Hao fought with that dark creature, Qin Menglan turned her white wrist and pointed the jade sword straight ahead. As she moved, she gradually approached the other dark creature.

A beam of light-wave-like sword Qi radiated in all directions, forming a wave that wrapped around the dark creature.

The dark creature trembled all over, and then strands of terrifying dark power instantly erupted and formed circles of dark light that surged toward the surroundings with it at the center.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The emerald green waves of sword Qi and the black dark power interwove ceaselessly there and swirled before erupting with waves of dazzling light that were extremely dazzling.

“Meihan, rest in peace!” Qin Menglan sighed as she waved her right hand. An indescribable force burst forth from her palm and entered the jade sword. With the point of the jade sword, a laser-like green light was injected into it. The green light soared in an instant, and wherever it passed, the long-lasting dark power gradually dissipated like snow being roasted by the hot sun.

In the end, after a miserable scream, the dark creature that Qin Menglan called Meihan turned into a black mist of blood and disappeared from this world.

Qin Menglan sighed again and looked at Ding Hao, who had already got rid of his opponent and was standing there silently. She said, “Let’s go in!”

The group of people moved again.

Ding Hao and the others walked into the palace.

As soon as they stepped into it, a cold wind suddenly blew, making them nervous.

Then, they finally saw the real scene inside the palace.

“What…”

What surprised them was that when they walked into the palace, what they saw was not an ordinary palace, but a vast hall with a large staircase leading to the bottom.

Apart from the staircase that could be seen, everything below, including the surroundings, was pitch-black. It was impossible to see more than 150 meters in the distance. That expanse of darkness was like the path to the underworld, making one shiver with fear.

After Ding Hao and Qin Menglan stepped onto the first step and gradually walked down, the remaining masters of the Charm Tribe followed them down slowly.

After 15 minutes, they had finally reached the end of this flight of stairs. What relieved them was that they hadn’t encountered any dark creatures during this time. It was as if they were the only ones inside.

However, when they were on the stairs, each time they took a step, they could feel that the dark power became a little stronger. When they reached the bottom of the stairs, the dark power was so strong that it was almost full.

They were surrounded by dark power. If it weren’t for Ding Hao’s protection shield, all these people of the Charm Tribe would have lost their spiritual intelligence and turned into dark creatures.

Evil Moon looked at the scene in front of it. It was suddenly stunned and then said with a smile, “Phew, it’s finally over. Huh? The black spring? That’s the dark spring, isn’t it? Meow. We finally found it…”

“Dark spring?!”

When everyone heard what Evil Moon said, they all looked forward and couldn’t help showing a hint of joy on their faces.

Not far in front of them, there was a huge pit that was dozens of meters deep. In the huge pit, there was a spring that was surging with black water with a radius of about ten meters.

The water gushing out from the spring was very strong, and the black water kept gushing out of the ground below. But there was no sign that the water, which was only tens of meters deep, was going to overflow at all. On the contrary, it had been maintaining a certain level of depth.

After the black water spurted out of the spring, it directly sank into the soil and disappeared. It seemed that there was something in the soil that absorbed the black water from time to time.

Qin Menglan was also delighted to see the dark spring. Then, she looked at Ding Hao and asked, “Brother Ding Hao, that must be the dark spring. What should we do next?”

“Wait…” Ding Hao waved his hand. After a moment of silence, delicate particles were gradually flowing in his eyes. Gradually, light spots appeared one after another, and they did not stop until the last, which was the seventh light spot.

At this moment, Ding Hao performed the Seven Star-shaped Eyes of Fate that used to belong to Ding Tong.

“What kind of pupil technique is that?” Qin Menglan was surprised to see the change in Ding Hao. However, Ding Hao had always been a mysterious being, and she was used to it.

During the period when Ding Hao was investigating, Qin Menglan and the female warriors of the Charm Tribe did not dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing him.

The light spots in the Seven Star-shaped Eyes of Fate flowed. Under a magical force, Ding Hao saw through the void and vaguely saw something.

Ding Hao moved his eyelids. After closing them, the seven light spots in his eyes dissipated.

Seeing Ding Hao smile, Qin Menglan could not wait to ask, “Brother Ding Hao, what did you find?”

This dark spring was of utmost importance to the survival of her tribe. Even though Qin Menglan was the patriarch and had a stable mental state, she couldn’t help but become nervous at this moment.

The patriarch and the female warriors of the Charm Tribe behind her were all naturally extremely anxious.
