Chapter 978 The Fake God Emperor
Xie Jieyu was holding Mr. Han’s head in her hand.
Her crimson thin sword, with a blade as thin as a willow leaf, was placed on Nalan Xin’s neck. He had never felt so terrified because of the strange mixture of coldness and heat from the blade. He trembled all over.
“How could this be?
“Where did this female Martial Demigod with terrifying strength come from?
“Even Mr. Han was killed?
“Things are in a bad way now.”
Nalan Xin’s teeth were chattering and his mind went blank. He looked miserable and there was a fawning smile on his face. He said, “Don’t… don’t kill me. I’m not from the God’s Palace… We were forced by the God’s Palace to come here to fight!”
“Why did you entice the God’s Palace to attack the camp of the people who practiced physical cultivation?” Xie Jieyu’s eyes were like scorching hot sabers, and her cold words seemed to have made the temperature of the surrounding area drop.
…Nalan Xin’s body went stiff.
He originally wanted to put all the blame on the God’s Palace, but now it seemed that the female Martial Demigod could discover the truth at a glance.
“You don’t want to tell me? Then forget it.” Xie Jieyu gently raised her hand, and the crimson thin sword shook.
Nalan Xin’s head flew into the air.
His head flew in the air and his face was still full of disbelief. He hadn’t said anything. According to common sense, shouldn’t this woman be extorting a confession from him or threatening him? How could she… kill him directly… Didn’t she want to know those secrets…
Nalan Xin’s head and body were immediately engulfed in purple flames and then turned into ashes.
Outside the camp of the people who practiced physical cultivation, the God’s Palace Army had become an army in disarray.
Under the suppressive power between heaven and earth, the strength of the sergeants of the Black Armored Army dropped sharply. It was less than half of what it used to be. They were chased by people who practiced physical cultivation and were like ancient tyrannosauruses, and their military formation was quickly broken. In addition, the God Realm Master with the surname Han and several other Semi God Realm Masters were killed by Xie Jieyu. They were utterly defeated.
Seeing this scene, the masters from the Nalan family turned around and ran wildly away.
For the sake of Nalan Chu and Nalan Youxia, Jin Keyan did not ask the people who practiced physical cultivation to chase after the people from the Nalan family.
This was the first battle of the people who practiced physical cultivation after coming out of the Ocean Forest. They’d won to their heart’s content.
Seeing the Black Armored Army fleeing like homeless dogs, the people who practiced physical cultivation cheered and jumped with joy.
A purple flame on Xie Jieyu’s palm burned the head of the God Realm Master with the surname Han. Her body swayed slightly.
Her face was a little pale. She had just recovered, so her body was still a little weak. She had consumed a lot of energy in this battle. Fortunately, when she was in a coma, Ding Hao fed her with many magical elixirs, which were still effective in her body. After refining the magical elixirs slightly, she could regain some energy.
She turned to look at the area inside the Saint-alighting Mountain Range.
The golden light shield was still covering the entire area. Some changes inside could be vaguely seen. Xie Jieyu’s eyes showed a look of worry. She was afraid that something would happen to Ding Hao inside the golden light shield.
In her palm, a cyan light ball was spinning. It was the New Moon Battle Suit.
Before Ding Hao left, he left this battle suit and asked Jin Keyan to give it to Xie Jieyu after she woke up. Jin Keyan had also explained to her the origin of this battle suit. Xie Jieyu felt sweet and moved in her heart because of what Ding Hao had done.
“You shouldn’t have left it to me. You need it more than I do. Brother Hao, I’m also wearing a battle suit,” said Xie Jieyu secretly to herself in her heart. She couldn’t help smiling sweetly.
“Commander-in-chief Mr. Shan has returned.” The man, who practiced physical cultivation and was responsible for external security, shouted at the moment.
A burly man rushed into the camp with an anxious look on his face. When he saw Jin Keyan, he grabbed the latter and shouted. “Where is the Celestial Master? I have something important to report…”
“The Celestial Master has entered the Saint-alighting Mountain Range. He hasn’t come out yet,” said Jin Keyan hastily.
Shan Xiong became anxious after hearing this. He said, “What should we do? Something has happened to the Nalan family. Is there any way to contact the Celestial Master?”
Jin Keyan shook his head.
The people who practiced physical cultivation were also worried about Ding Hao, but now they really had no way to contact him.
“What has happened to the Nalan family? You can tell me.” Xie Jieyu was dressed in red armor, and her powerful aura was surging like ocean waves. She walked over step by step in the void.
“Who are you?” Shan Xiong was stunned. He had never seen a female Martial Demigod before.
Jin Keyan quickly introduced Xie Jieyu to him, hinting to the Commander-in-chief of the guard camp that the strength of the female Martial Demigod in front of them was horrible and she was very likely to become the wife of the Celestial Master.
Shan Xiong suddenly understood.
He was originally a thoughtful person. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be valued by Ding Hao among thousands of people who practiced physical cultivation. He at once said with great respect, “I didn’t know it was you who had come. Please forgive me.”
Xie Jieyu just frowned slightly, but she did not explain anything. She asked, “What happened to the Nalan family?”
“30 minutes ago, a powerful energy fluctuation suddenly broke out from the residence of the Nalan family. Someone has set up an extremely strange tactical deployment that has trapped the entire residence of the Nalan family within it. There was a faint bloody aura emitting from it,” Shan Xiong respectfully said. “Chu’s cry for help was quickly transmitted from inside. That was the signal for seeking help that the Celestial Master had told Chu to use. We wanted to force our way into that place but were unable to break through the tactical deployment. Before I hurried back, Chu’s cry for help had already been blocked…”
“Chu? Who is that?” asked Xie Jieyu.
Shan Xiong was stunned. Then, he realized that it was very likely that she didn’t know about the recent events of the Celestial Master. He didn’t dare to hide anything and told her everything about Nalan Chu and her brother.
After listening to him, Xie Jieyu did not speak for a long time.
“The Nalan family?” She remembered the expression of the man named Nalan Xin, realizing that there might be something important behind it.
“All of you, guard this place and wait to receive Brother Hao. I’ll go to the residence of the Nalan family.”
Before her voice died away, Xie Jieyu had turned into a fire phoenix, flying across the sky and rushing toward the residence of the Nalan family in the Stone Mouth City like a flash of lightning.
Since Chu was Ding Hao’s disciple, Xie Jieyu had to protect her.
The man was the Fake God Emperor.
Ding Hao did not expect to see the Fake God Emperor here.
He was wearing a simple black cotton robe. He had no Divine Artifacts with him, nor was he wearing armor. His thick black long hair was simply tied up by a black cloth ribbon. He was simply dressed from head to toe. His face was as fair as jade, and his skin was as white as a girl’s. He was very handsome, and he had an elegant and noble temperament.
This was the former 13th Divine Prince.
Now he was the Fake God Emperor.
There was a trace of inherent arrogance on his face. Standing on the top of the mountain, he had a kind of extraordinary temperament and was as graceful as an immortal. He looked like a person in the painting who would come out of it at any time. The other God Realm Masters around him were all outshone by him.
After sixteen years, this man didn’t seem to age even a little bit. He looked still as young as a boy about eighteen years old.
That was why Ding Hao could recognize him at a glance.
In the picture transmitted by the cluster of golden light in the Fake God City, the 13th Divine Prince looked exactly like what he looked like now in the battle on the Ancient Kylin Peak. However, compared with 13 years ago, his temperament had changed a lot. His extremely aggressive aura had faded and he had become quite unaffected. He looked as if he had returned to simplicity.
Standing there, the Fake God Emperor gave people the impression that he was just an ordinary person who had no skills in martial arts. There was not the slightest terrifying Qi power fluctuation from his body.
But Ding Hao knew clearly in his heart that such a Fake God Emperor was more terrifying.
“He has shown up in this place?
“He should be the one who has cut down the huge mountain peak with great magical power?”
Mystery after mystery emerged in Ding Hao’s mind.
“Young man, you’re quite interesting. You could snatch Sky Attack from my tenth brother as well as the battle suit from my eighth brother. They’ve all underestimated you.” The Fake God Emperor smiled, giving people the feeling of a spring breeze.
It had to be admitted that he was very charming.
In particular, there was a sense of majesty and nobility of a man in power for a long time in his indifference, which made people involuntarily feel a sense of submission.
But there was only hatred in Ding Hao’s eyes.
He took a deep breath and restrained his impulse to make a move. He weighed the odds of winning the battle in his heart and kept outlining the battle plan in his mind.
“I can see hatred in your eyes.” The Fake God Emperor had an indifferent look in his eyes and saw through Ding Hao’s mind. He smiled and said, “Is it because a friend or family member of yours was killed by the God’s Palace?”
Ding Hao was silent.
In recent years, because of the aggressiveness of the God’s Palace, countless sects, masters, and forces had been wiped out. Therefore, the Fake God Emperor had seen such hateful eyes like Ding Hao’s countless times. He thought that Ding Hao was also one of the avengers, so he didn’t care about Ding Hao.
“In the battle in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, I originally wanted to test the rebel Ding Shengtan, but I didn’t expect that my plan would be ruined by you. You were able to break Tong’s Emperor Style of Saber and Sword. Your talent is indeed rare, so I wanted to come to see you.” The Fake God Emperor smiled peacefully as if he were chatting with an old friend.
“Just to see me?” Ding Hao sneered.
“Hahaha, what else do you think I will do?” The fake God Emperor laughed loudly.
He continued, “Do you think I’m here to punish you? Although I’ve been kind to talents these years and have pardoned many sinners more than once, I won’t go easy on you since you’ve been stained with the blood of too many loyal men of the God’s Palace. However, you’re too young and weak, so, if I, a noble emperor, kill you personally today, I’ll be bullying a man of the younger generation and be scorned by the world. So you can rest assured that I won’t kill you today.”
Ding Hao sneered and said nothing.
“I’m just curious about you. I want to know what you look like because Tong has said personally that he would kill you.” The Fake God Emperor smiled faintly as he spoke. “Now we’ve met today. You are quite interesting. You can be considered as half an opponent of Tong.”
From his words, he was extremely confident in Ding Tong.
Ding Hao also smiled faintly and said, “Aren’t you afraid that I will kill your dear son?”
The Fake God Emperor laughed out loud. His laughter showed that he had absolute confidence in Ding Tong and disdain for Ding Hao who sounded self-conceited.
