Supreme Emperor of Swords-Novel

Chapter 42 Small Trouble

In the gathering place of small tribes.

“Let’s go!” Upon arriving at this area, Bo Zhao and the others slowed down their pace and slowly walked toward the crowd.

Ding Hao looked around and heard many people discussing how to make a deal or what to exchange for.

“That’s the horn of a Blood Infant Air-Breaking Ox. Look, its hardness and light are absolutely genuine. How could you not trust me?”

“Even though their horns are very similar, this is absolutely not some Blood Infant Air-Breaking Ox. Do you think I don’t know its value? This is clearly only the horn of a Crimson Blooded Salamander.”

“Well… Alright, this is indeed a Crimson Blooded Salamander, but even though it isn’t the Blood Infant Air-Breaking Ox, the horns of a Crimson Blooded Salamander aren’t so easy to obtain. I’ll use 10 of these horns to absolutely be sufficient to exchange for your stuff.”

“Ten? That’s more like it. I’ll go get my stuff then. Wait here…” Thᴇ link to the origin of this information rᴇsts in Noᴠelꜰire

Ding Hao watched the transaction process while walking.

Some people used counterfeits to replace their goods, while others bargained with them. Of course, there were also some who made the deal easily.

“Hmm? Patriarch Bo of the Barbarian Khan Tribe? How many supplies did you bring this time?” Several men ahead, who were talking, immediately smiled and asked Bo Zhao when they saw him coming over to them.

Before they got close, Bo Zhao smiled and said, “It’s not worth mentioning. We haven’t seen each other for a year. How have you been recently?”

Even though Bo Zhao said so, those people still glanced at the wooden carriage behind him, and then they revealed a look of surprise. There were some other faint expressions, but they only flashed for a moment.

After chatting with them for a while, Bo Zhao talked to them about the exchange.

Their conversation went smoothly. Bo Zhao used some rare demonic beast materials to exchange for a lot of good stuff.

Previously, with Ding Hao’s help, the Barbarian Khan Clan had hunted for a lot of good things.

Bo Zhao led everyone and began to make deals with the others again.

Ding Hao, with Evil Moon, quietly followed him and did not disturb Bo Zhao.

Although he was walking quietly in the group, there were still some people from other tribes who came directly to him.

Evil Moon, the Fat Cat, was fat and cute. It was rare to see such a demonic beast in the Primordial World, so some little girls from other tribes favored it and asked their tribesmen to exchange something for it with Ding Hao.

Ding Hao just smiled bitterly, indicating that Evil Moon was not for sell. Bo Zhao also said that the cat was Ding Hao’s. He would not exchange it if he did not want to. Of course, his words would be more euphemistic.

Evil Moon was proud of itself, laughing weirdly, and transmitted a voice message to Ding Hao, “Hahaha. I’ve said that my charm is irresistible. Human Pet, look, this is my charm. Do you see it…”

“If those little girls know your character, I don’t think they will still want to exchange for you. I’m afraid they’ll only be in a hurry to avoid you…” Ding Hao helplessly retorted.

This small interlude didn’t affect the exchange.

Bo Zhao continued to lead the team to talk and trade with the people of other tribes.

Gradually, more and more things were successfully exchanged with other tribes. However, the Barbarian Khan Tribe brought a lot of things this time, so the things they got were only a small part of their belongings.

However, because of this, the Barbarian Khan Tribe also attracted some people’s attention.

Looking at the eyes cast around them, Ding Hao couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh. “This is why people shouldn’t have their wealth exposed. Patriarch Bo has changed a lot of things just now. We will soon be targeted!”

As expected, as soon as Ding Hao thought of this, several people immediately glanced at each other after glancing at the wooden carriage. They sneered and walked toward them with a trace of hostility.

Bo Zhao was still searching for a target to trade with. When he saw them walking over and their target was them, he seemed to have realized something, and his expression instantly changed and became slightly solemn.

There were only seven or eight of them, all of them wearing the same bronze armor, spears in hand, possessing great power.

They were all in the martial arts Celestial Realm.

“Gentlemen, what can I do for you?” Knowing that they did not come with good intentions, Bo Zhao had already lowered himself when they arrived before him.

“So you’re the patriarch of the Barbarian Khan Tribe. Heh, I didn’t expect you to get so many good things this year. Tut-tut, you must have exchanged a lot of good things since just now!”

The leading man sneered and came to the wooden carriage. He kept turning it over and clicked his tongue. “Tut-tut, the horns and fur of the Evil Snow Horn Bears. A Five-tailed Mysterious Frost Wolf’s tail and claws, not bad, not bad…”

This person had slanted brows and slanted eyes. Even though his cultivation was great, and even though he wore bronze armor and had an extremely dignified appearance, his tone was extremely like that of a ruffian, causing others to feel disgusted just by hearing him.

Bo Zhao frowned slightly and asked politely, “It’s alright. What’s the purpose of your coming here, Captain Fuke?”

Upon hearing this, this man called Fuke stopped. He turned his head to look at Bo Zhao and once again returned to the bronze-armored group. He revealed a cold smile, “You should also know that we are the managers of this gathering. All the matters here are managed by us. If it weren’t for us, there would not be this gathering, and it wouldn’t be impossible for you to trade with the many tribes. Don’t you understand after I put it this way?”

“Well…” Upon hearing this, Bo Zhao naturally understood the meaning behind Fuke’s words, and his expression turned a little gloomy.

Obviously, the other party wanted to ask for protection fees from them.

One of the people from the Barbarian Khan Tribe said angrily, “But there was no such a rule in previous years, and why don’t you ask other people for it…”

But before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Bo Zhao. “Fatty Jun, shut up.” There was a cold light in the eyes of Fuke and his men. They looked like they were ready to fight at any time.

“There was no such a rule? Why don’t we ask other people for it?” Fuke sneered and said disdainfully, “If it weren’t for the fact that your small tribes are so poor, there would be such a rule.”

“That’s right. If it weren’t for the fact that you have some good things today, we wouldn’t have bothered to say these words. You should feel honored, haha!”

“Why are you still dawdling? Hurry up and take some good things to please us. Otherwise, you will not be able to trade here, and you’ll need to go back to where you’re from. I can’t stand you being an eyesore here…”

The other armored men looked at Bo Zhao in a mocking manner, as if certain that they would get what they wanted.

A look of embarrassment appeared on Bo Zhao’s face. It was not that he couldn’t give them all these treasures, but if he did it, he would have to give them what his tribe had all the time in the future. Moreover, it was because of Ding Hao that they could get so many good things this time. Once Ding Hao left, it would be impossible for their tribe to get so many good things with its strength.

But if he didn’t give his things to them now, then he would probably offend them, and he would suffer ceaseless troubles in the future. It was even to the extent that it would be extremely difficult for him to safely trade here. Most importantly, if he infuriated them, the consequences would be severe since all of them were in the martial arts Celestial Realm. Even though their individual strengths couldn’t compare to his, if they were to attack him together, then Bo Zhao would absolutely be unable to resist them.

The people of other tribes next to them also saw this scene. Although they sympathized with the Barbarian Khan Tribe, they all left in a hurry, for fear of getting into trouble.

“Alas…”

Just as Bo Zhao was hesitating about whether to give the things to those people or not, a sigh suddenly sounded.

“Boy, what are you sighing about? Do you want to die?” One of those people glared at Ding Hao, and a sharp look suddenly fell on Ding Hao, like that of a fierce tiger.

Ding Hao was completely unaware and slowly walked over.

Seeing Ding Hao’s calm and extraordinary demeanor, Fuke couldn’t help but be stunned. He couldn’t help wondering if Ding Hao was from a big tribe.

But soon, he put this speculation aside for no other reason than that Ding Hao came with the small Barbarian Khan Tribe, and he was definitely not from a big force.

...

Thinking of this, he began to sneer. He looked at Ding Hao with interest and said, “Your cultivation seems to be quite good, but you are not qualified to stand up for them.”

Bo Zhao looked at Ding Hao gratefully, but still shook his head slightly and transmitted a voice message to him, “Brother Ding, I know you want to stand up for us, and I’m very grateful to you, but they are all very powerful and are all managers of the gathering. If you stand up for us, I’m afraid…”

Ding Hao waved his hand, smiled, looked at Fuke and the others, and said calmly, “You can test it out to see if I’m qualified.”

“Hmm?”

“Hahaha…”

“You really don’t know what’s good for you. Do you think we’ll be scared by your bluff?” After being stunned for a moment, Fuke and the others burst into laughter.

Ding Hao remained calm and silent.

“Since you’re so confident, we’ll play with you.” Fuke sneered and raised his head, indicating for the person next to him to go over.

Swoosh!

The man immediately stepped forward and rushed to Ding Hao.

“Heh, you don’t look like a member of the Barbarian Khan Tribe. I really don’t know why you stood up for them. Well, since you’ve made that choice, you have to pay the price…” The man sneered. He moved, waved his arm, and waved the sharp spear in his hand. A gorgeous rain of light bloomed in the space.

...

Bo Zhao’s eyes trembled and he couldn’t help exclaiming, “Brother Ding, hide!”

The man’s attack was terrifying. Even if Bo Zhao took that strike, he would have to deal with it with all his strength. Now that he saw that Ding Hao seemed to be indifferent, how could he not be anxious?

“Hide? Where do you want to hide?” The man laughed.

The light rain all over the sky turned into silver lights, which were extremely bright and sprinkled down. The silver lights were about to completely envelop Ding Hao.

“Remember, it’s best to know your place in the future. Not just anyone can be offended!” The man sneered again.

“Is that so?” Ding Hao responded faintly. He was still standing there, moving slightly. He raised his palm casually, and a streak of arrogant sharp Qi flashed away.

The silver lights only appeared for a moment before disappearing. At the same time, that person let out a miserable cry. His spear had already fallen to the ground, and blood was gushing out of his arm.

The crowd was stunned, and their eyes were wide open. They didn’t know how Ding Hao did it at all.

The people of the Barbarian Khan Tribe, including Bo Zhao, were also shocked. They had always known that Ding Hao was very strong, but they did not expect him to be so powerful.

Ding Hao cracked the martial arts Celestial Realm move with a wave of his hand and seriously injured that man at the same time.
