Chapter 990 The Power of the Immortal Artifact
Having the Immortal Artifact, Nalan Xingde felt like the ruler of the world. He could not help treading on air.
“Let me try the power of the Immortal Artifact on you!” He laughed out loud. All of a sudden, he stopped laughing and moved. He held Nalan Youxia’s hand and rushed toward Ding Hao like lightning.
His speed was extremely high.
Ding Hao’s face changed and he retreated at once.
However, Nalan Xingde moved faster than him.
In a flash, they were less than a meter away from each other.
Nalan Xingde laughed scornfully and suddenly pointed his finger in the air.
A stream of terrible and irresistible power broke out from the tip of his finger and rolled toward Ding Hao in an instant.
Ding Hao dodged quickly. But the power from that finger was changeable. It followed him closely and blocked all his way. Ding Hao felt he had nowhere to escape. No matter where he moved, the fingertip giving off silver light was aimed between his eyebrows.
Boom!
Ding Hao landed a punch.
Strong power broke out.
That punch contained Ding Hao’s whole power. The void was instantly blown up as his powerful physical strength burst out.
However…
“Puff!”
The moment his fist touched Nalan Xingde’s finger, Ding Hao only felt that his whole body juddered. He vomited blood, and with a terrible force surging over, he flew back and straightly hit a broken stone wall, leaving a deep pit on it.
“Haha, how is it? How does it feel to get your ass kicked?”
Succeeding in one move, Nalan Xingde did not continue. Instead, he slowly walked over. He planned to torture Ding Hao little by little to revenge on him for tearing him apart before.
This was his first battle after getting the Immortal Artifact.
He was tasting the wonderful feeling of doing whatever he wanted.
“From now on, I, Nalan Xingde, will no longer have to bow to the God’s Palace or tolerate any big sect. I won’t hide my ambition. I don’t need to plan for the future or act carefully. I will not expend any efforts to consolidate my position and authority in the Nalan family!”
With the Immortal Artifact in hand, he was invincible in the world.
As long as he wanted to, he could quickly replace the God Emperor of the God’s Palace. He could defeat the Feather Clan, the Beast Clan and other clans in the Land of Divine Grace and conquer the sea in the south on his own. He would make all masters, all forces and all clans tremble under his knees.
What a great feeling!
This was the power of strength!
Clatter!
Ding Hao slowly slid down the wall, his left hand holding his right arm.
There was a hole as big as a finger in Ding Hao’s right palm. Blood flowed down his right hand like spring water. His bones were exposed where they would be. His hand was a mass of bleeding flesh. Nalan Xingde’s power pierced through his entire right arm. Basically, that arm was disabled.
Moreover, there was a gush of strange destructive power bursting wildly in the wound, which made Ding Hao’s self-healing power unable to work.
Was this the power of the Immortal Artifact?
Ding Hao took a deep breath. He knew he was in trouble this time.
Great trouble!
Nalan Xingde’s current strength was too horrible. Even Ding Tong at his peak in the battle in Hundred Thousand Mountains might not be his match. Nalan Xingde had already injured Ding Hao badly by just pointing his finger.
Ding Hao fixed his eyes on Nalan Youxia.
The young man was completely in a blank state, like a marionette. He was tantamount to a silver statue with no expression on his face. His eyes were shining with silver light without any human feelings as if he had lost his soul.
Nalan Xingde’s power was definitely transmitted from Nalan Youxia.
Ding Hao’s eyes rested on Nalan Xingde’s left hand.
He had been holding Nalan Youxia tightly. No matter walking or attacking, he never released his left hand. There was a ball of slight silver light covering their palms.
Nalan Youxia kept synchronized with Nalan Xingde. No matter what Nalan Xingde did, he could easily keep up with him and would not impact him at all. He was like the shadow of Nalan Xingde.
“If I separate their hands…” Ding Hao thought.
“Weren’t you strong before? Hahaha, now you can’t even resist one of my fingers. Are you desperate? Or angry? Unfortunately, it will only make you pathetic!”
Nalan Xingde looked at Ding Hao disdainfully.
He was enjoying the despair of his opponent.
“Hahaha, I am the person who forced Nalan Chu to die and smelted Nalan Youxia to death. What can you do to me? In the Ocean Forest, I had sex with that stupid woman just because I was bored. She foolishly thought that I really liked her. Hahaha, what an idiot! Why did she think she deserved me? Because of her appearance? Talent? Status?… It was her luck that I slept with her. But I really didn’t expect she would give birth to a pair of twins. And she even wanted me to admit them…”
Nalan Xingde provoked Ding Hao to his heart’s content.
As expected, Ding Hao went mad.
“You son of bithch… garbage!” Ding Hao roared and moved like lightning. The Sword Intents of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter cut through the void and flew towards Nalan Xingde like a net of Sword Light.
“Too weak.” Nalan Xingde shook his head in disdain. He opened his right hand and suddenly clenched it.
Like a whale sucking water, he sucked the Sword Light all over the sky into his hand. With a slight squeeze, the Sword Light shattered and became light spots floating in the air. Nalan Xingde opened his hand, flaunting his power. There left no scars on his palm.
“You really think you can hurt me with such weak power?” Nalan Xingde sneered.
“Too formidable!” Ding Hao was shocked.
The Sword Intents of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter were activated by his Qi. Even a Semi God Realm Master would be injured. However, Nalan Xingde destroyed them so easily and didn’t get hurt at all.
Was the power of the Immortal Artifact really so horrible?
It seemed that the human-shaped Immortal Artifact which Nalan Youxia transformed into was strong in both offensive and defensive. In an instant, Nalan Xingde’s strength had qualitative differences and he almost surpassed the God Realm. This kind of weapon really had no weakness.
“Give up. Everything is doomed to happen. Don’t be futile to struggle,” Nalan Xingde said complacently. “Who would know the power of the Immortal Artifact is hidden in this fool’s body? Even the God Emperor of God’s Palace was tricked by me. I swore my loyalty to him and I told him I would not covet the Immortal Artifact or allow the masters of the Nalan family to enter the Saint-alighting Mountain Range. The God Emperor was actually touched… The Immortal Artifact is my descendant, which has proved that it’s my fortune given by heaven. Everything is doomed to happen. I’ll be the sole ruler of this epoch!”
Ding Hao did not speak.
Suddenly, the sound of running water rang from the air. Then strange fish swimming, wild geese crying, east wind whistling, rain falling, river otters displaying carps, and other illusions emerged in the void…
The Sword Intents of Beginning of Spring and Rain Water demonstrated their power silently.
In the next moment, Sword Intents suddenly broke out.
All the illusions turned into sharp Sword Intents. Like rainstorms, they shrouded Nalan Xingde, swallowed him, and tried to kill him. There was no way for him to escape.
Nalan Xingde’s face finally changed.
A beam of Sword Light streaked across Nalan Xingde’s cheek, leaving a shallow wound. Beads of blood seeped out.
“He was injured!” Ding Hao was secretly delighted.
However…
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Metallic clicks suddenly rang and sparks splashed all over.
The layer of silver light that flowed on Nalan Youxia’s body instantly flew to Nalan Xingde through their palms. The light covered Nalan Xingde’s body. Although it was only a thin layer, it had incredible defensive power. The Sword Intents of Beginning of Spring and Rain Water attacked him but couldn’t hurt him at all. Instead, they were shattered in an instant!
The Sword Intents attacked for as long as 15 minutes.
But Nalan Xingde just stood there quietly in the raging sword storm during this period, smiling disdainfully. He didn’t even dodge a little, just letting the horrible Sword Intents fall on him. His smile intensified. He looked at Ding Hao as if he were looking at an ant that was trying to beat a giant dragon.
Ding Hao’s heart gradually sank.
It was impossible to resist the power of the Immortal Artifact.
“How do you feel? Desperate, huh? Your strongest power didn’t work on me at all. This is our gap… If this is all you can do, then it’s over. Let me show you what the real power is!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his smile disappeared. There was only a cold glint in his eyes.
Time to kill.
In the next moment, he flashed to Ding Hao and gave a punch, just like how Ding Hao had punched him before. Nalan Xingde was to humiliate and defeat Ding Hao in the way that Ding Hao had beaten him.
Ding Hao still couldn’t duck this punch.
He could only raise his arm to resist.
Boom!
The overwhelming power came. Clack! Ding Hao felt a sharp pain. The bones of his forearms folded at an angle of 90 degrees. Obviously, they were all fractured.
Ding Hao was directly blown away by this power and hit the stone wall hard.
“Puff!”
He spat out a large amount of blood.
It was impossible for a human to resist the superpower of the Immortal Artifact.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
The Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword flew out on their own and slashed Nalan Xingde.
Clang! Clang!
With two light sounds, Nalan Xingde was hit by them.
This time, he was finally hurled to the sky.
Under the control of Sword Master and Saber Master, the Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword burst out their forbidden power and confronted Nalan Youxia, the human-shaped Immortal Artifact. They were evenly matched because the Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword were also hurled back.
At this moment…
Ding Hao’s eyes suddenly lit up.
He moved like a streak of lightning. His broken arms nearly recovered at this time. In mid-air, he reached out to catch the Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword that flew back. In an instant, he came to Nalan Xingde and quickly slashed at Nalan Xingde’s left hand.
