Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 422 Breaking the Bloodline with Saber and Sword Intents

“No, how can he be so strong?” Jiang Disheng placed his sword before his chest horizontally. After the shock, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Given Ding Hao’s Qi Cultivation, even if he mastered the sword intent, his real combat power could reach the middle high level of great grandmaster at most, which was already a state of explosion. But at that moment, Ding Hao’s aura unexpectedly soared to the realm of Half Step to Martial King. Even Jiang Disheng felt that he had difficulty breathing. His muscles were tense and his hair and bones, cold, which was not normal.

What was worse, under the coercion of an aura as majestic as the sea, Jiang Disheng found out quickly and acutely that his meridian channels were gradually shrinking and his Qi was not running smoothly.

He was actually suppressed in momentum by Ding Hao whose Cultivation level was lower than his own?

The next moment, Jiang Disheng looked up and saw Ding Hao’s eyes, which shocked him.

One of Ding Hao’s eyes was golden like fire, and the other, silver like snow.

…

Before he regained his consciousness, the next moment, the image in his sights suddenly distorted. Ding Hao, with a sword in his hand, suddenly disappeared out of Jiang Disheng’s view in those distorted light lines.

“No.”

An unprecedented sign of danger, from the bottom of Jiang Disheng’s heart, was boiling uncontrollably like an eruption of magma. He knew that he had reached the point of life and death. Without hesitation, he immediately activated the blood power in his body.

Numerous beams of golden flame burst out of his body. Surrounded with golden flame, he was like a golden sun, radiating endless brilliance. Holding the rusted sword in his hand, he gave a long shout facing the sky.

…

The blood power was inherited from the power of ancient gods.

Buzz!

The space trembled slightly, and a sword clang rushed directly up into the sky.

An enormous golden sword made of Qi slowly cut through the void behind Jiang Disheng. Seemingly coming from another space, it moved slowly but appeared rapidly. Two meters wide and more than forty meters long, the sword had a golden radiance. There were some mysterious inscriptions floating on its surface. Reflected by the lake under the moonlight, the golden giant sword glittered with a unique chill of cold metals, as if it were a substance.

“Golden Sun Battle Body, Golden Sword Cut!”

Surrounded by endless golden light, Jiang Disheng seemed to have turned into a sharp sword. As he placed his arms before his chest and leaned down slowly, the long sword behind him also slowly cut down like his shadow, and layers of visible waves spread rapidly to both sides.

The power of the sword was really overwhelming.

Before the golden sword had struck completely, the calm lake had been cut into two pieces like a mirror.

As the lake was divided into two halves, a neat gap caused by the Sword Qi appeared. It could be seen vaguely that the shimmering water grass and boulders at the bottom of the lake were also divided into two parts. Some of the fish, insects and water animals that had no time to escape were even cut into two parts at the waist, with their heads in one side and their tails in the other. Since the incision was too smooth, even the blood and viscera did not flow out for a while.

When Jiang Disheng was almost inclined to be parallel to the lake, the aura of the golden sword behind him reached its maximum. Everything within a five-meter radius would be eliminated, so a vacuum was formed, and any matter entering it would be crushed into pieces by the omnipresent Sword Qi in an instant.

At that time, space was distorted.

And the disappeared Ding Hao emerged in front of Jiang Disheng again. Surrounded by both ice and fire, he crossed the sword and saber, and lifted them up. The sword and saber just held the huge sword, and the downward trend of the huge sword was slightly stopped.

That was a startling contrast.

In front of the gigantic golden sword, Ding Hao was as small as a grain of sand. It seemed that a nonentity was using its body to hold a giant’s weapon, and the nonentity was about to be crushed at any time. He was covered by the golden flame completely, which evaporated a lot of lake water in an instant.

“You’re indeed a bloodline warrior.”

Ding Hao only felt that all his blood was boiling. His heart began to beat violently and involuntarily. A drop of blood inside his body was pulled by a terrible force, as if it was about to escape from the body’s restraint. Drawn by a terrible force, the blood was about to get rid of the binding of his flesh.

That was the instinctive awe the mortals had for the blood of God.

When ordinary people encountered such a sudden pressure, they would lose all their blood and die in an instant, let alone fight. But Ding Hao held the Saintly Being of Saber and Sword. After he activated the Mind Essential, his mind began to control his body like a tide, which helped him to steadily bear the God’s pressure force, and the blood all over his body immediately calmed down.

“It’s time… Come on, saber intent and sword intent. Burst out!”

The saber intent and sword intent burst out of the Blood Battle Body!

That was one of the reasons why Ding Hao had been practicing both saber and sword intents hard.

Especially those days, since Ding Hao had worked hard day and night, he had finally gained a higher level in mastering the saber and sword intents. If those two intents were divided into ten realms, Ding Hao had already reached the second realm, which was far stronger than one year ago when he first realized the sword intent.

It depended on that moment whether he could break the myth of the Blood Battle Body.

With a shout, his brain entered a strange state. The rusted sword and the Wen Qing Saber trembled at the same time.

He burst out the strongest power of the saber intent and the sword intent he possessed thus far.

In a split second, the rusted sword and the Wen Qing Saber released an indescribable hazy sense altogether. The saber and sword issued a long and continuous sound, like the roar of a dragon and a tiger, as if they instantly had life of their own. The clear bodies of the saber and sword also suddenly became blurred, as if to break away from the boundaries of material laws.

A weak willpower burst out from the saber and sword.

Although weak, it was extremely sharp. It could cut anything in the world. It seemed that even the power of God was as fragile as rotten wood in front of such a weak saber and sword intents.

Ding Hao rotated himself, and the rusted sword and the Wen Qing Saber in his hands immediately clasped the massive golden shining sword and then twisted it violently.

Crack!

The golden giant sword was broken directly.

It seemed that a rotten wood had been broken.

Next moment, the golden shining sword was crushed, and the sharp Sword Qi on Jiang Disheng’s body disappeared.

With a bang, the gap without external support in the lake disappeared. The waters on both sides hit each other violently, causing numerous water columns. With a thundering sound, the water vapor prevailed in a hundred-meter radius. Hit by Ding Hao’s Hell Ice Qi and Xuanqi, the water vapor was instantly condensed into mysterious pieces of ice, falling into the lake one by one, arousing even greater algae to bloom!

“Impossible! How could this happen?”

Jiang Disheng opened his mouth and spat a mouthful of blood.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible… What… what is this power? Ding Hao, how can you, a mortal, restrain my Golden Sun Blood Battle Body?”

Jiang Disheng’s mind went blank. The gold flames around his body instantly faded away. Like a dry river bed, the surface of his body was covered by tiny blood cracks. His endurance over the years also melted at that moment. He roared in disbelief.

Ding Hao didn’t own the Blood Battle Body. As a weak mortal, how could he resist the coercion of the blood of God?

Why?

After his brain was awake the next moment, Jiang Disheng made a bitter smile. Turning into a beam of flowing light, he flew towards the periphery, like a bereaved dog, without a word.

The Golden Sun Blood Battle Body’s Golden Sword Cut was his most powerful sword skill. Since it couldn’t restrain Ding Hao, then he could only escape. Even if the fight went on, there would be no result that night.

However—

A series of ice and snow inscriptions suddenly flew in front of him. Connected from head to tail, those square patterns revealed mysterious but fatal beauty in the quiet night sky. They flew in the sky like a long dragon, trapping Jiang Disheng in it.

“Get away!”

Jiang Disheng made a swipe of his finger; a beam of sharp Sword Qi was formed, breaking several of the inscriptions.

But the rest of the inscriptions seemed to have life. They shone brilliantly and released endless Ice Qi. They re-entangled Jiang Disheng and held him back.

The distant space was distorted again, and Ding Hao’s figure disappeared leaving an afterimage.

Jiang Disheng yelled loudly. Since he couldn’t escape, he made up his mind to put the rusted sword about to break before his chest, and displayed another sword skill again. The space behind him trembled, and a bright golden sword emerged slowly across space again.

He wanted to break the inscriptions with his Blood Battle Body.

But that time Ding Hao was faster.

When half of the golden long sword appeared, the space in front of Jiang Disheng was distorted as before. Ding Hao appeared again with the saber and sword in his hand. He displayed the Chasing Electricity Sword Skill with the rusted sword, and displayed the Saber Brandish for Love with the Wen Qing Saber. While the saber and sword attack resounded, he still displayed the realm-two saber intent and sword intent, leading the endless coldness and burning flame to bombard the golden giant sword.

Crack!

With a wail, the golden huge sword was filled with cracks. The fragments flew out like golden butterflies, and scattered under the bright moonlight. Jiang Disheng’s sight was turning black; he opened his mouth and spat out another mouthful of blood. With a face as white as gold, he bit his teeth and fell into the dark lake.

Ding Hao was surrounded by the debris of the golden giant sword. Holding the saber and sword, he stood firmly in the air. With an orange left eye and a silver right eye, he looked like a God of War of the ancient alien tribe. Two beams of gold and silver light were being released from his eyes, shining down towards the lake.

Jiang Disheng actively fell into the lake in order to escape with the cover of its waters.

As far as Ding Hao’s eyes covered, he saw a dark thin line at the bottom of the lake rushing toward the west of the Mirror Lake like a sharp sword. It was Jiang Disheng who used some secret method to escape. He currently was three or four times faster than in the air…

“There’s no way to escape!” Ding Hao made up his mind to kill Jiang Disheng. With no mercy, he fully activated the sword intent, and slashed down with the sword at the distance.

The silver Sword Qi was carried in the sword intent, cutting across the lake.

Where the sword light passed, the lake water instantly condensed into ice.

That ice line was as fast as lightning, and caught up with the escaping dark thin line hiding at the bottom of the lake in the blink of an eye. The ice line slashed across with a whiz, and then a trace of red blood bloomed in the clear lake water like a blood red flower in the dark, which then was frozen in the cold ice.

What was frozen in the ice at the same time was an arm.

Jiang Disheng’s arm.

“Let’s skip to the end.” Ding Hao took a deep breath and released more and more Icing Qi. The rusted sword had already been surrounded completely by the silver frost, like jade and ice in the moonlight. He made seven steps in the void at the seven-star position. Improving his strength to the extreme, he raised his hand again and formed another beam of silver Sword Qi.

Whoosh!

Where the Sword Qi passed, the cold water was instantly turned into a half-meter-wide ice wall.

Carrying deadly killing intent, the ice wall assaulted towards the madly fleeing figure under the water. Right after, the figure was about to be frozen in the ice forever…

But at that time—

“Junior, enough. Why do you have to kill him?”

An old majestic voice came from the west; in a gloomy cloud, a big golden hand suddenly stretched out, just like the palm of a Divine Being, terrifying to the extreme. It held the white ice line in the water vapor, and crushed it easily with a click. Then, it separated the deep lake water, backhandedly salvaged in the lake water, then picked up Jiang Disheng who had fainted, to later retract.

There was finally a senior expert of the Tranquility Academy who couldn’t help but stand out.

He saved Jiang Disheng.

The fighting desire in Ding Hao’s mind skyrocketed. But he held to reason, still restraining his desire to shoot.

His present strength was not enough to challenge the giants of the older generation.

He slowly retracted the power in his eyes, turning them to their normal color.

Recalling the course of the battle, Ding Hao was satisfied with the result of the battle that night. He said, “Although he fled, for a martial expert like Jiang Disheng to lose an arm is a great blow. Not only will his strength drop sharply, what’s even more serious is that his martial heart has been destroyed. He, as a strong being, fought the weak with tricks. He thought he would definitely win, but suffered a crushing defeat instead… That person will never threaten me again.”

That was Ding Hao’s first time to fight against the top young expert who ranked above him on the Hidden Genius List of Snow Province, and he had the last laugh.

More importantly, it finally turned out to be correct to use the saber intent and sword intent to break the Blood Battle Body. Later in the Frozen Peak, when facing with Mu Tianyang who also possessed the Blood Battle Body, Ding Hao wouldn’t be inferior to him.

Stopping in the void, Ding Hao glanced over.

The surging lake due to the fierce fighting between them had finally calmed down slowly. A thousand-meter-long ice wall, like a dam, divided the water of Mirror Lake within a hundred meters into two parts. Under the moonlight, the ice wall was crystal, clear, and smooth like jade. It reflected a blue, watery and elegant brilliance. Looking at it from the sky, it seemed that there was a scar on the surface of Mirror Lake.

The moonlit night was quiet and the clouds were low, which was the loneliest time of the night.

Taking a deep breath, Ding Hao looked up into the distance.

In the void thousands of kilometers away, there were two firework-like flames in the darkness appearing and disappearing. Vaguely visible, numerous beams of terrifying flowing light were flying away, leaving an unhealed scar in the sky… It was the battle between Feng Ning, Xie Jieyu and the Double Wind and Lightning.

It hadn’t ended yet.

An idea suddenly struck Ding Hao’s mind. He stretched out both his index fingers, surrounding his left index finger with flames, and the right with silver light and cold air. Controlling the two fingers at the same time, he carved two ancient earth poems in the void.
