But right now, Ding Hao was laughing and attracting everyone’s attention.

No one here was a fool. They could all hear the sarcasm and ridicule in his voice.

“Who are you? How dare you speak for this demoness? Me spinning a yarn? Humph, you mean I’m lying?” The tall and scrawny expert from the Southern Wilderness pointed at Ding Hao and scolded him angrily, “You must be her accomplice!”

“That’s a serious accusation!” Ding Hao’s smile slowly disappeared, and he said coldly, “I’m just a nobody. It’s just that I can’t stand so-called masters like you lying and framing a helpless girl!”

“How presumptuous!”

“How dare you! Who are you? How dare you speak for this demoness!”

“Weak and puny boy, you have no right to speak on such an occasion! Humph, who brought you into the Final Divine Temple? Where are your elders?”

Ding Hao’s strength seemed only at the Martial King Realm. He would not be able to get so far alone. “A powerful master must have brought him here,” they thought.

“You mean only powerful men can tell the truth?” Ding Hao sneered. “According to your logic, as long as you’re powerful enough, you can turn black into white?”

“You… Humph, I won’t argue with you. Beat it, boy, if you don’t want to die.” The tall and scrawny expert from the Southern Wilderness was at a loss for words. A sinister look flashed across his eyes. He had a sudden impulse to kill.

“Boy, you’re bewitched by this demoness’s looks. I won’t hold you responsible this time. Leave now.” A Martial Sage who had been silent for a long time added, “The God-suppressing Seal may decide the fate of the Human Clan. You’re too young to understand this. No matter what, you can’t let this evil demoness take away the Divine Artifact.”

After that, he waved his sleeve.

An extremely powerful Qi force suddenly surged toward Ding Hao.

Everyone saw this and looked gloatingly at Ding Hao.

A Martial Sage had spoken. The matter was decided.

But the next moment, the expressions on their faces froze.

Ding Hao did not retreat. Instead, he remained rooted on the spot. He slashed the rusty long sword in his hand lightly. An invisible force gushed out. Like a mountain unmoved in a turbulent river, it split the Qi force from the Martial Sage into two.

His body did not even tremble.

The mouth of the Aloof Man, Yue Tianxing, jerked. He had seen with his own eyes Ding Hao fighting the four Demon Saints. He knew that this seemingly weak young man actually had horrendous power and was not to be underestimated.

“Eh?” A strange expression flashed across the middle-aged Martial Sage’s face. Then he regained his composure. He lectured Ding Hao condescendingly like an elder. “I’ve underestimated you. Young man, since you have such strength, you should help the cause of the Human Clan. Why are you so obstinately protecting this demoness who betrayed her master and sect?”

“The fate of the Human Clan? Hahaha, how absurd,” Ding Hao said disdainfully. “You keep talking about the fate of the Human Clan. You’re just a warrior at the Sage Realm, what do you know about destiny? You greedy hypocrites will be the downfall of the Human Clan! How dare you talk about fate!”

As soon as he said that, the expression on everyone’s face changed.

How dare this boy directly reprimand a Martial Sage, accusing him of ignorance about fate?

Only a madman would do that!

On the entire Land of Infinity, only five people were qualified to reprimand a Martial Sage.

This young man was really crazy.

However, the expression of the beautiful girl watching this scene contemptuously also changed. There was a strange expression in her lovely eyes. She looked at Ding Hao in surprise. The wariness in her eyes slowly faded away. At last, there was something gentle in her eyes.

“How dare you!”

The middle-aged Martial Sage finally blew his top. He said angrily, “You have been bewitched by this demoness, so infatuated that no one can save you. I’ll help your elders teach you a lesson!”

After saying this, he waved his hand.

A massive green godlike palm appeared above Ding Hao’s head and crushed down on him. It was directly suppressing him.

In the distance, the beautiful girl raised her hand and was about to forcefully activate the God-suppressing Seal to stop the palm…

… when suddenly…

The rusted sword in Ding Hao’s hand erupted with terrible power.

The rust on the sword body flew out, dancing. The crystal clear body of the sword shimmered, slowly unleashing a kind of oppressive, forbidden power. The entire space froze in that instant. Even the experts at the Martial Emperor Realm could feel the cold cut their skin.

This was…

He was no less powerful than a Martial Sage.

Before the long sword could even vibrate, its Qi had already shattered the massive green divine palm.

The expression on everyone’s face suddenly changed. They looked thunderstruck.

What kind of power was this?

That sword…

The sneer on the faces of Yue Tianxing and the tall and scrawny expert froze at once.

The Aloof Man, Yue Tianxing, was so shocked that he felt indescribably overwhelmed. He thought that he had already fathomed Ding Hao’s true strength. He thought that he had not underestimated Ding Hao. Yet this young man still had a trump card that he did not use in that terrible battle with the Four Demon Saints!

“Is he… Ding Hao, the Saber and Sword Addict?”

“Ding Hao? That genius from the Northern Region, so gifted in the sword and the saber, who caused havoc on the Divine Central Continent?”

“It’s really him! His rusted sword contains terrible power!”

” ‘A sword that freezes 250 miles. Who can defeat this teal-robed man with a rusted sword?’ So it’s him… Although his cultivation is low, his true combat ability is more like a Sage’s!”

Someone managed to identify Ding Hao.

It caused an uproar in the crowd.

Their attention had been focused on the God-suppressing Seal, their eyes on that beautiful girl, Yu Miejue. Now they suddenly realized that this sorry-looking young man by the side was someone they could not afford to provoke too!

The Saber and Sword Addict!

It was too great a name for them to ignore!

A few also recognized this lad as the young man who had killed the Wolf Demon, Shen Tiansha, outside the Final Divine Temple. He had morphed into a Bi Fang then, demonstrating his power in the form of a divine beast. When the gate of the divine temple opened again, their thoughts had turned to the Divine Artifact inside the temple. They were not quite bothered about him.

They now realized that this young man had already killed a Demon Saint. He was powerful enough to stand alongside the absolute masters of the Sage Realm.

The Saber and Sword Addict had displayed his saber techniques then. His broken saber was peerlessly powerful.

They could now see that his swordsmanship was as powerful as his saber techniques.

He was indeed a master of the saber and the sword!

His reputation was well-deserved.

He looked only around 18 or 19, more like a humble scholar. How did he cultivate? His skills were amazing! His rusted sword and broken saber were probably forbidden weapons no less powerful than a Divine Artifact.

Some of the experts who had been yelling at Ding Hao looked embarrassed and stopped shouting at him.

“It’s better not to provoke this young God of Death. He’s still so young. I may be more powerful than him now, but no one knows how powerful he will end up in the future.”

He might be one of the supreme presences of this world, in centuries or millenniums to come.

His potential was the most terrifying thing about this young man.

No one wanted to provoke a sleeping dragon.

Moreover, this young man was very likely descended from the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost, the largest human sacred land in the Northern Region. He must be even more revered there. Even all the Sage experts gathered here could not rival the prestige of the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost.

Some were cursing in their hearts. “D*mn, this ruthless guy has such a powerful background. Yet he’s been restraining himself all this time. He’s a deep one!”

The expression of the middle-aged Martial Sage, who had challenged him, immediately changed. He did not dare attack again.

“Why? Do you still want to help my elders teach me a lesson? That scrawny man from the Southern Wilderness, you must want my life. Come, let’s fight…” Ding Hao snickered and challenged the tall and scrawny man.

The man turned as pale as a sheet. He lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to look at Ding Hao.

Ding Hao slowly withdrew his Hell Ice Qi.

The bright silvery light on the rusted sword gradually disappeared. The dancing rust also went back to the sword. The long sword became rusty again. From its sword body alone, no one could tell that it had just unleashed a kind of power that could horrify even a Sage.

Although he had not fully activated the rusted sword, one-third of Ding Hao’s Hell Ice Qi in his Lower Dantian had been depleted. It was a risky move.

He now only had one more chance to activate the sword.

As for the devil saber… Ding Hao would not be able to activate it in the next half month. The flaming Qi in the Middle Dantian of his chest had been completely exhausted, and he could no longer fully activate the saber.

“Immeasurable Lord of Heaven!”

The old Taoist priest with gray hair and a youthful face, who had not spoken for a long time, bowed with clasped hands. Breaking the awkward silence, he smiled. “So it’s the Saber and Sword Addict, Mr. Ding. I’ve long heard of and admired you, as the great talent of the Northern Region. I didn’t expect you to be so young. I’m Star Gazer. The others here are…”

The old Taoist priest was a master at the Sage Realm. No one knew what he was trying to do, as he patiently introduced everyone around him with a kindly face.

The middle-aged Martial Sage, Luo Guantian, was from the God-slaying Sect.

There was also a sickly-looking old man whose face was as swarthy as pot soot. He was Wei Wubing, the Highest Elder of the Wuji Sect on the Divine Central Continent, and a Sage Realm master.
