Supreme Emperor of Swords-Novel

Chapter 130 Intimidating

“Why did you send me a message? Shouldn’t you be attacking the Blue Cloud Sect in the Northern Region now? Could it be that you’ve taken it down?” Shentu stared at the leader of the Beast Clan who was looking at him coldly as he sent a message in his mind.

“Not yet… Because something happened, I temporarily gave up.” A voice rang out in Shentu’s head.

“Something happened?!”

“Yes. This is why I’m communicating with you.”

“Just tell me now. I’m still commanding an army to attack the Beast Clan’s tribe!” Although Shentu was a little curious, he could only split his attention to communicate with this person when the leader of the Beast Clan suddenly attacked.

“You know that Sikou Yong has always been attacking the Northern Region with me. While I’m attacking the Blue Cloud Sect, he’s attacking other places. On his way, he met a sect called the Saber-drawing Sect. He wanted to destroy them, but a master suddenly appeared and killed him…”

“What? Sikou Yong died? Who did it?” Shentu’s expression suddenly changed, and he seemed to be filled with disbelief.

The man continued, “I don’t know. I heard from those returning people of the Feather Clan that it was a guy in a cyan robe with a saber and sword in his hands. I really don’t know when there was such a master in the Heaven Path world. That’s why I slowed down to talk to you and hear your opinion.”

“What? He’s wearing a cyan robe, holding a blade and a sword!” As soon as this piece of information appeared in Shentu’s mind, a figure subconsciously came to his head, and his body couldn’t help but stiffen as if it had been struck by lightning.

Seeing him like that, the leader of the Beast Clan was also very confused in his heart. He didn’t know what was wrong with him, but looking at his expression, how could he let go of such a good opportunity? After a loud shout, he rushed toward Shentu again.

“How annoying… block him!” Shentu had no time to pay attention to him. After this thought came to his mind, the dark creatures who had been entangled with some members of the Beast Clan rushed up desperately and blocked the way of the leader of the Beast Clan with their own bodies.

When Shentu saw that the leader of the Beast Clan was unable to approach him for the time being, he focused on the news he just received.

“He’s wearing a cyan robe, holding a saber and a sword, and possesses strength sufficient to annihilate high-level Eternal Realm experts. Could it be… Could it be him?!” Shentu’s eyes trembled as if he knew the origins of this figure in cyan.

“Him?” the man asked.

“But how is that possible? How could he be here? Shouldn’t he be in the Primordial World now? How could he be here…” Shentu’s expression turned grim, and there was even a hint of worry in his voice. “But even Sikou Yong wasn’t a match for him. He killed Sikou Yong with a saber and a sword. I’m afraid no one else but him could do that!”

“Stop muttering. Who is it? Tell me!” The man sounded a little anxious.

Shentu came to his senses and replied solemnly, “You also know that person. He should be the great enemy of Lord Ding Tong, Ding Hao!”

“Ding Hao! Isn’t he in the Primordial World? How could he be here? You must have guessed wrong…” The man exclaimed, but he still didn’t believe it.

“I don’t know why he appeared here, but this person is definitely Ding Hao. Otherwise, with Sikou Yong’s strength, it’s impossible for him to not even be able to escape. Moreover, except for Ding Hao, do you think anyone else can perform such a powerful saber and sword power? Anyway, I haven’t encountered anyone who could do that yet…” Shentu replied somewhat irritably.

The man was silent. Like Shentu, he seemed to think that the man in cyan should be Ding Hao.

After a long time, Shentu’s eyes were still full of fear, and he said solemnly, “Since Ding Hao has appeared, we should change our plan!”

“Indeed. Lord Ding Tong hasn’t come here yet. I’m afraid that none of us leaders are a match for Ding Hao. If he seizes the opportunity to defeat us one by one, I’m afraid our plan will be ruined!” After the man agreed, he asked, “Then, what should we do?”

Shentu was silent for a bit before replying, “Let’s retreat for now!”

“Retreat?!” The man was shocked.

“Yes. Let’s retreat. That Ding Hao is too terrifying. I still remember the power he showed in the Primordial World. We can’t defeat him at all…” Recalling what had happened back then, Shentu still felt frightened.

“But, Lord Ding Tong asked us to attack the Heaven Path. If we retreat at this time…” The man seemed to be a little hesitant.

“We’ve already conquered many forces. Even if we retreat now, it’s understandable. If Lord Ding Tong knows that, he won’t blame us. What’s more, we’ve been attacking for such a long time. It’s indeed time for the army to recuperate for a period. Besides, if you continue to act now and attract that Killing God, I’m afraid that you’ll end up no better than Sikou Yong…”

“Well… you’re right. In that case, I’ll lead the army to stay quiet for a while and inform the other brothers to hold back first!” After the man replied, he fell silent.

Shentu took back the token with deep fear in his eyes. He thought to himself, “Although this operation is troublesome, it shouldn’t be too difficult. I didn’t expect that Ding Hao would appear again. I just need to retreat now. He won’t come to me, will he? I really don’t want to confront him anymore…”

Only after withdrawing his gaze did he turn his gaze to the leader of the Beast Clan, whose eyes were filled with killing intent. He coldly snorted, “Consider yourselves lucky this time around. We will withdraw!”

“What?!” While the leader of the Beast Clan was still in a daze and didn’t know what was going on, Shentu ran his power a bit, and the dark creatures that almost surged into the tribe all turned around and retreated like tidewaters.

“What’s going on? Why did they retreat? Did something suddenly happen?” All the members of the Beast Clan were confused, unable to understand Shentu’s actions.

In the territory of the Sea Clan, Seli, who was attacking the joint army of the Seven Sea Clans, suddenly received a message from Shentu that they needed to retreat.

Seli replied to Shentu with some confusion, “Brother Shentu, it took me a lot of effort to lure those small fish to a good place and I was just about to take them down in one go. Why are you suddenly telling me to withdraw? Did something happen?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of Shentu came to his mind. “Gu Dongbo just sent me a message saying that Ding Hao had returned to the Heaven Path world. As soon as he appeared, he killed Sikou Yong. Do you think this news is enough for you to withdraw your troops?”

“Ding Hao has returned to the Heaven Path world?! Is that true?” Seli was shocked.

“Of course, it’s true. I’m just telling you this. If you want to continue, I have no objections. After all, you already have enough troops. If you meet that guy, you should be able to withstand him….” Shentu snorted.

Seli smiled bitterly and said, “Brother Shentu, you’re telling me to get myself killed by doing that. You clearly know what kind of horrible being Ding Hao is. If I meet him, I’m afraid I’ll be killed in less than half a quarter. How dare I face him!”

“I’ve told you what you should know, and it’s up to you to decide what to do. The attack on the Sea Clans has already been handed over to you, and you’re fully in charge of things over there.” After sending these words, Shentu unilaterally cut off the transmission.

“Is Ding Hao really our nemesis? Why do we meet him every time… It seems that we have to retreat. I just hope that Lord Ding Tong can come to the Heaven Path world as soon as possible and kill Ding Hao. Then I won’t have to be so scared…” Seli looked bitter and a little helpless, but after hearing the news, he didn’t hesitate and could only give the order to withdraw.

To him, Ding Hao was simply a nightmare, who was not someone he could deal with at will.

Moreover, he knew very well that although Ding Hao might be in the Northern Region, it was not difficult for a top martial artist like him to cross a region in a short time.

If Ding Hao suddenly joined the enemy’s camp when Seli was attacking the Sea Clans, it would be a devastating blow to him and his army.

If it weren’t for that, he and Shentu wouldn’t have withdrawn when they heard of Ding Hao’s appearance. They were afraid that Ding Hao would come to them.

…

At the same time, the dark forces in various regions were attacked and also learned the news that Ding Hao appeared and killed Sikou Yong.

Like Shentu and the others, most of the leaders of the dark forces did not dare to continue to attack their original targets when they heard the news. They withdrew and rested first, waiting for Ding Tong to give the next order.

Of course, there were also a small number of leaders of the dark forces who had never seen Ding Hao before. They only thought that their companions were exaggerating. They were dismissive of this matter and even sneered that Shentu and the others were too timid as they still did what they wanted. They were not worried that Ding Hao would appear at all. Some even threatened that as long as Ding Hao appeared, they would help Ding Tong kill this scourge.

Shentu and the others did not try to persuade these people. After all, it was good to see someone try to stand out. Therefore, they naturally adopted a wait-and-see attitude and saw if those bold people could resist Ding Hao.

But in next to no time, they started to feel fortunate in their hearts.

Although the leaders of the dark forces who threatened to kill Ding Hao were in different areas, they were all on the battlefield. At the critical moment when their enemies were in crisis, a man in cyan showed up and killed everyone of the dark forces.

After hearing the news, the leaders of all the dark forces were frightened, and at the same time, they became more cowardly, not daring to start a war in a short time.

For a moment, the entire Heaven Path world became strangely quiet. There was no war. It was as if the world had returned to its previous state.

But many people knew that this peace was just the silence before the storm.

Perhaps something even more terrifying would happen next.

But many people who were originally desperate had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, because Ding Hao had taken action and killed the leaders of the dark forces in succession, which had saved many people who were in great danger.
