Chapter 91 Breaking in Alone
Ding Hao exerted a few powerful moves and easily killed a dark expert. Xuan Tianzong was not inferior to him. In a few moves, he also killed a dark expert.
These high-level dark experts naturally weren’t weak because they were able to retain their intelligence although they were contaminated by the dark spring. Their cultivation was at least in the Eternal Realm.
Of course, under normal circumstances, even a martial artist at the early stage of the Eternal Realm was an extremely terrifying and unstoppable being.
Unfortunately, the opponents those dark experts met were Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong, whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Eternal Realm. Naturally, how they ended up was self-evident.
When Qin Menglan and the others saw this, although it was expected, they could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong were so powerful, which was naturally what they had expected and also what they were happy to see.
The warriors of the Charm Tribe who had been struggling desperately to resist until now were all shocked to see the devastating battle where Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong crushed those dark experts.
…
Ordinary human wars were extremely cruel, let alone the interracial wars of powerful martial artists.
In the dark army, there were high-level dark experts, even quite a few.
They had thought that this force would be able to easily take down the Charm Tribe.
Unexpectedly, they met ominous people like Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong. Of course, Qin Menglan, the patriarch of the Charm Tribe, and other powerful masters of the tribe were also fighting against them without any scruples.
In the end, the dark army was gradually defeated, and Shentu could only retreat.
The black air that filled the sky and the suppressive dark force slowly receded.
In front of the imperial city’s gates, blood flowed like a river with corpses and white bones everywhere. The scene was incomparably cruel.
In this war, the dark army suffered heavy losses. More than half of the dark experts died, as well as countless ordinary dark creatures.
The dark army had suffered heavy losses, and so had the Charm Tribe.
Nearly seventy percent of the warriors had died heroically in this battle, transforming into corpses and dust.
At the end of the battle, the warriors of the Charm Tribe, who were covered in blood and wounds of different sizes, were already exhausted, but when they saw that they had won, they still shouted loudly and excitedly.
In any case, their tribe would’ve been wiped out in this battle, but because of the return of their patriarch and others, they had strong reinforcements and managed to turn the tables.
Although many of their companions had died, the tribesmen were still feeling very fortunate to be still alive.
They were also fortunate that the imperial city did not fall, their homeland was not destroyed, and their tribe was not eliminated.
At this moment, it was gradually approaching evening, and the light on the horizon gradually dimmed.
The dark red light shone on the corpses under the imperial city. As the wind blew, there seemed to be a sad song sounding between heaven and earth.
The scene looked extremely sad.
…
Within the imperial palace in the imperial city.
“Thanks to you two, my tribe has survived today. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. I’m here, as the Patriarch of the Charm Tribe, to express my greatest gratitude to you two…” After that, Qin Menglan, who had changed into a new robe, bowed deeply to Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong.
When the others of the Charm Tribe saw the Empress bow, they also bowed to Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong with great respect.
Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong looked at each other and did not speak. They stood there with their backs straight, accepting the tribe’s gratitude.
“Although we destroyed the dark spring, there are still many people infected. Some of them aren’t even members of our tribe. Perhaps they’re from other tribes. It’s very likely that other tribes also have the dark spring,” Qin Menglan said seriously.
“Indeed, with the character of Ding Tong, he must have set more than one dark spring since it can play such an important role.” Ding Hao nodded.
“He has so many troops. Although we have forced them back today, it is likely that they will appear again soon…” Qin Menglan frowned as she spoke.
“Ding Tong is the key to the war. As long as he is killed, all the problems can be solved easily.” Xuan Tianzong went straight to the point.
“You’re right. Ding Tong is indeed the cause of all the problems. As long as he is still alive, he will sooner or later cause harm to the world.” Ding Hao nodded in agreement with Xuan Tianzong. Then, he said, “I think it’s time for me to meet Ding Tong.”
Just as the others were about to say something, Ding Hao suddenly turned to look at Xuan Tianzong and said, “Your injury has not yet recovered. You should recuperate here, and you have a quarter of the Heart of Heaven and Earth. This is the key to victory. I’ll go there alone this time.”
Xuan Tianzong did not object.
Evil Moon also wanted to follow, but Ding Hao did not agree, so it could only stay there obediently.
Qin Menglan knew what Ding Hao needed, so she immediately said, “According to the direction they retreated in and the report of the spies, the dark army is camping tens of thousands of miles away. Ding Tong, the person you are looking for, may be there…”
Ding Hao nodded. After he flashed, he turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.
The place was merely 5,000 kilometers away. Ding Hao could easily cross the void and reach there with a simple move.
Therefore, Ding Hao, who had just finished talking with Xuan Tianzong, immediately appeared not far from the camp of the dark army.
…
At this moment, night had descended and the surroundings were completely dark. However, the camp of the dark army had countless fire torches that lit up the place, making it unusually bright. It was just like daytime.
In a very spacious tent in the center of the camp.
“Who are the two people who suddenly appeared today? Have you found out…”
A few figures sat below with grave expressions. Shentu was seated above. He was the one who had spoken just now.
Seli walked out and said, “Those two people appeared together with Qin Menglan, the patriarch of the Charm Tribe. That is to say, the tactical deployment in the dark city has been broken by them. According to what Lord Ding Tong said before, the person in cyan is our No.1 enemy, Ding Hao!”
“Ding Hao!” Shentu narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Jiang Tianyu and his men are really useless. They even failed to guard a tactical deployment. How could they let those people come out so soon…”
Shentu then asked, “What about the other person?”
Seli shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know. The others also shook their heads.
“You don’t know? Wait, isn’t the dark spring…” Shentu frowned, but he then seemed to think of something and fell silent.
Just as they continued to discuss some matters, something unusual happened in the camp.
…
After coming here, Ding Hao did not hide himself. Instead, he walked to the camp aboveboard.
With his strength, no matter how many enemies there were, it would not be a problem for him. In this case, there was no need to hide.
There came a blare of horns.
At the front of the camp, some dark creatures were on patrol. Although they had no spiritual intelligence, they had been ordered to blow the horn when they saw someone break into the camp. When they saw Ding Hao, who suddenly appeared, they immediately blew the horn.
“How dare you break into my camp alone at night? You’re courting death!” When Shentu and the others heard the horn, they went out of the camp one after another as fast as lightning. They soon came to the front. When they saw Ding Hao walking slowly, their eyes instantly flashed with a cold light.
Through Ding Tong and today’s battle, Shentu and the others knew that Ding Hao was very powerful. Originally, they were a little afraid of him, but when they saw that he was alone, they immediately realized that this was a chance to make contributions. Naturally, they were not afraid of Ding Hao. Instead, they surrounded him in a flash.
As for the ordinary dark creatures, they were immediately called away to avoid being affected.
Experts who had reached the Eternal Realm couldn’t be killed by a large number of people. To them, only those who were also in the Eternal Realm could pose a threat.
“Where is Ding Tong…” Ding Hao looked at the eight figures around him, and his expression was still calm. He did not show any fear even though he was surrounded.
“Lord Ding Tong is not someone you can meet at will. Of course, if you insist on seeing him, you can destroy your own cultivation. Maybe we will consider fulfilling your wish.” Seli sneered.
The others didn’t say anything, but judging from their expressions, Ding Hao knew that it was impossible to get any information from them.
“It seems that I can only find him on my own!” Ding Hao clenched his one hand, and a white flowing light appeared. The Rusted Sword appeared.
Stepping forward, Ding Hao released endless Sword Intent. Shentu and the others only felt that there was a wave of sword Qi roaring between heaven and earth, which made them narrow their eyes.
Sizzle!
A streak of invisible Sword Intent shot out and directly shot between the eyebrows of one of them, which made the man’s eyes freeze instantly.
At this moment, the man’s heart was beating violently, as if it was going to explode. He had already felt that death was approaching and he would die under Ding Hao’s sword in an instant.
Shentu snorted and shot forward, appearing in front of that man in an instant. He struck out with his palm, and endless waves surged out. An explosive sound rang out as he blocked that Sword Intent.
When the man saw Shentu make a move and the Sword Intent was blocked, he realized that he had just been rescued from the edge of hell. He was frightened and relieved at the same time.
“Be careful. Now that Lord Ding Tong values him so much, this man’s strength must be terrifying. Let’s attack him together. Don’t give him a chance to kill us alone!” While Shentu spoke, his hand trembled slightly, and a trace of blood slowly flowed down. Obviously, it was not easy for him to take Ding Hao’s attack head-on just now.
“Yes, sir!”
The others didn’t dare relax in the slightest when they saw this, and they looked nervous while their eyes revealed vigilance.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
Streaks of horrifying Sword Intent shot out as Ding Hao attacked again.
However, Shentu and the others were prepared this time. Therefore, the Sword Intent hadn’t even descended upon them when it was stopped by them.
“No matter how strong you are, you can’t be stronger than the eight of us. I wasn’t paying attention just now. Now let’s see what else you can do…” The dark expert, who had been frightened by Ding Hao’s attack just now, laughed wildly after blocking his Sword Intent.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying voice came, which made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. “Is that so?”
Then, there was a swooshing sound.
A streak of Sword Light suddenly flashed in front of him. This time, it got to him directly. In his frightened eyes, there was a blood spot between his eyebrows.
A wisp of black blood slowly flowed down his face from between his eyebrows and dripped to the ground.
It was originally a very light sound, yet at this moment, it suddenly rumbled like spring thunder, and it caused the expressions of Shentu and the others to tremble violently while their pupils stiffened.
