Rules of Heaven - C73
Ding Hong was not a lazy sleeper, and since he had started cultivating, he did not need much sleep time. Not long after Suo Bing sat down, Ding Hong came out of the room and went downstairs.
“Good morning.” Ding Hong sat opposite Suo Bing.
“Young master.” Su Bing nodded.
“Why are there so many people today? Could it be that they are all going to the Dreamy Cloud Swampland to look for treasures?” Ding Hong also noticed that something was amiss today.
“Probably.” Suo Bing replied.
The winter dawn said it was not early, it said it was not late. The sky gradually brightened as a fiery red scorching cloud gradually closed its hazy eyes like the eyelids of a beauty in the night, welcoming the arrival of morning.
The people who were originally sitting were also infected by the sunlight. They began to talk, and some even got up and left.
“Did they come down?” Just as he finished speaking, Xue Yu smiled and answered: “Didn’t you come down? Are you in such a hurry? “Could it be …” She lightly ran to Ding Hong’s side and pressed her face against his nose. With a serious look in her eyes, she seriously said, “Could it be that you have fallen for me?”
A thicker skin than his own?
Ding Hong maintained his composure and put on a very serious expression. He said, “The sun and moon can be seen that I don’t love you!”
“Ya, you …!” Xue Yu was annoyed by her words, but just as she wanted to speak again, she was pulled to the side by Su Ting. When the surrounding men saw this scene, they couldn’t help but feel envious in their hearts, and they were even thinking if they should go up and snatch the beauty, but after thinking for a bit, they could only give up.
“Rain has always been a child in Penglai. Who knows how many men he has toyed with.” Su Ting explained calmly as he was used to her actions.
“Senior Sister!” Xue Yu was very dissatisfied with how he said her.
After Ding Hong heard this, he chuckled and used a frivolous gaze to look at Xue Yu from head to toe a few times. Xue Yu’s face immediately flushed red. Su Ting didn’t like Ding Hong’s style and lightly coughed twice.
“If there’s someone like me next time, I’ll see what you can do!” Ding Hong poured some tea into a cup for himself. They casually ordered some breakfast, then waited for the others to arrive.
An hour later, the group was gathered and introduced themselves.
The person who released the light was a disciple of the sword faction, his Senior Brother was Su Haotian, and his Junior Brother was Qi Xiao. As for the others, Ding Hong roughly knew them as well. And what was somewhat surprising was that monk, De Kang, was actually a disciple of the Great Brahma Temple.
After that, the group headed for the Dreamy Cloud Swampland. However, he appeared to be the most carefree of all. Standing on the fixed sky painting, he did not waste any effort and concentration, and he even had a beautiful lady accompanying him.
However, it was unknown whether it was because several people did not recognize the painting or what it was made of, but none of them had any suspicions about it being an ordinary treasure.
Other than the golden lotus pool that De Kang was using, the rest of the people were riding on their swords. For a moment, the colourless light in the sky went parallel to the light, and some ordinary people were stunned.
At the same time, on the northern edge of the Dreamy Cloud Swampland, a gloomy-faced man shrouded in black mist stood silently in the air with his hands behind his back.
“Take a breath and rest, you arrived early!” A fatty wearing a large yellow vest was flying over from the distance while laughing. There was a wax statue under his feet, glittering with gold. At first glance, it looked like the descent of a Buddha.
“Hierarch Su, you’re ninety-four minutes late.” A breath of repose said coldly.
Hierarch Su curled his lips. “Sigh, what do I have to do with you? Why are you bothering with such a small amount of time?”
“Humph!” Breathing in his anger, he ignored his words. “You must have met some good-looking woman on the way here and stabbed her to death with that thing of yours before coming here, right?”
“Since Brother Lifeline knows me so well, I’ll explain myself.” Master Pure God smiled.
“All these years, those little children of the righteous path are getting more and more powerful. Even if a few of my disciples were to stand together with me, I still wouldn’t be able to beat them. This time we’re stealing a treasure, and we’re actually going with you! ”
Master Pure God said, “Heh, Brother Lifesaver, let’s not talk about this anymore. Didn’t the previous generation of Demon Masters all fall in the hands of someone called Ji Taixu? What else can we say?”
“Let’s go inside and wait for now. I heard that the Heavenly Palace, Penglai, Worryfree Valley, Great Brahma Temple, Sword Sect and a few other better disciples have also come. Although it’s not the best, but if we can kill them then we’ll kill them and vent the anger in our hearts.”
“The man belongs to you and the woman to me. You must let me have a good time.” Hierarch Su couldn’t help but burst into laughter. She continuously pinched her hands together, as if she had already touched a woman’s chest.
“Let’s go.”
Without hesitation, he flew towards the depths of the Dreamy Cloud Swampland.
At this moment, Ding Hong and the others had also arrived at the Dreamy Cloud Swampland. After landing, they first checked to see if there were any abnormalities. Afterwards, Zi Shuang took out a dark green pearl and chanted an incantation before throwing it into the sky.
The bead circled in the air, leaving behind ten shadows. The shadows soon condensed into large bubbles, which then landed on everyone’s bodies. Then Purple Frost withdrew the pearl.
“The Water Repelling Pearl will only be effective for six hours. When the time is up, the bubble will burst. Please bear this in mind.” Zi Shuang reminded him.
Everyone nodded.
“I’m afraid that everyone has already deduced that the Water Devouring Pearl is at the bottom of the lake, but we don’t know the specifics, so I ask everyone to be careful.”
“Brother Dekang is right.” Qixiao agreed. He drew out a silver longsword and said, “Let me cut open the ice for everyone.” After he finished speaking, he secretly used profound energy in his hand to lift the silver sword into the air.
“Break!” With a loud shout, he pointed at the surface of the ice.
The silver sword suddenly grew several times larger! After circling once, it suddenly descended and fiercely stabbed into the ice layer!
“Crack!” The layer of ice broke. Afterwards, the ice shards flew out like tiny sharp swords, stabbing towards everyone. Seeing this, De Kang waved his hand, and the golden lotus pond flew out. It spun in the air, leaving behind a ball of light that blocked all the flying ice shards.
Ding Hong glanced at them. He didn’t know if these two were trying to show their cultivation base or what they were doing, but they were planning to create such a big battle. He looked at the layer of ice and couldn’t help but be aghast. The layer of ice was no longer frozen like usual. It was actually nearly seventy to eighty feet thick! Counting them, it was probably the height of six houses stacked on top of each other!
Seeing that the ice layer had opened up, he didn’t hesitate and jumped into the Dreamy Cloud Swampland.
“What’s wrong, Young Master Ding?” Su Ting asked as he saw that the old man didn’t go in.
Hearing her call him Young Master Ding, Ding Hong muttered to himself, “Senior Sister Su, you should call me Young Master Feng from now on. Due to some things, I can’t use my real name anymore. ”
“Why?” Xue Yu ran over and asked with her eyes wide open.
Ding Hong glared at her and ignored her. He said to Su Ting, “Let’s go down.” He turned and jumped into the ice.
The thickness of the layer of ice was only deeper after entering.
Looking up from below, with the help of the faint light, the edges of the ice were uneven, making him look horrifying and sinister, which also made him feel very small.
Everyone had the protection of the water droplets, so the surrounding water couldn’t touch them. It was as if they were trapped inside a giant bubble.
The icy water was somewhat distorted.
The others who had come down earlier were waiting. When they saw them, Deacon said: “We will continue to move forward since we have gathered all the people.” He took the lead and flew down.
He didn’t know if he should call this a lake or not, because Ding Hong saw that from the surface of the lake to the bottom, it was actually a few miles long! They didn’t know what was underneath, but most of them were emitting blue light, brightening up the surroundings.
Although everyone was flying downwards, their movements were just similar to one another. In reality, everyone was still swimming in the water. Although they could use their cultivation base to speed up their speed, no one would do so. The few of them knew the danger involved.
Seeing that everyone was moving at such a slow pace, Su Haotian was annoyed. He said: “Seniors, I was going to scout ahead.” Then, he used his Xuan Energy and pushed his body forward. He broke through the water surface, leaving a string of bubbles behind.
“Senior apprentice-brother.” Qi Xiao hurriedly shouted, but he was still a step too late. Sighing heavily, he moved his body and also quickly flew forward, wanting to catch up to Su Haotian.
Just when the two of them were a little further away from the crowd, something strange happened! He saw two big black hand suddenly reaching over from a distance, grabbing towards Su Haotian and Qi Xiao. Everyone was shocked as they all took out their magic treasures.
Dekang summoned his golden lotus pond and twisted it fiercely with his flat palm. The golden lotus pond immediately emitted a golden light. After the golden light was formed, it actually turned into something that was like water. It swam around everywhere and finally turned into a golden robe and a golden rod! De Kang jumped forward, donned his golden armor, picked up his golden stick, and headed straight for the source of the giant black hand!
Su Haotian and Qi Xiao were not people to be trifled with. When they saw the giant hand coming, Qi Xiao’s expression changed slightly. He took out a long sword from the void and carefully dealt with it.
At the same time, Ye Yu Sang’s eyes lit up. He pulled out a golden spear and aimed it at the two giant hands. Zi Shuang did not follow him. She merely pulled out an emerald green branch and wrapped it around her hand. The branch touched her arm, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into streams of fresh air that flowed into her body.
Ding Hong, Su Ting, Xue Yu Zhi, and Suo Bing were separated by quite a distance, so they could only call out their magic treasures to protect the surroundings to prevent anyone from continuing their sneak attack.
In Su Ting’s hand was a talisman larger than ordinary yellow talismans. Xue Yu was holding a small, exquisite, dark red chain. It was unknown what kind of magic treasure it was.
Because of Su Haotian’s action, everyone was immediately dispersed.
Although the giant hand was made up of black gas, it was much tougher than stone. A few sword qi from Su Haotian stabbed onto it, producing a “ding ding” sound.
Seeing that Su Haotian’s sword qi could not easily harm him, he secretly gritted his teeth and relaxed his left hand. He concentrated all of his strength into his right arm, turned around, and after borrowing some strength, he ruthlessly struck the huge hand with his spear!
The giant hand trembled and the black gas lessened. The terrifying sound of a ghost could be heard from within the black gas. The giant hand was hard, so after Ye Yu Sang hit the golden spear on it, he was pushed forward. A bright light flashed in his eyes. His left index finger traced the spear shaft for a distance of three feet before the golden spear suddenly grew in size, shining with a brilliant light! Then, he took the spear with his left hand and forcefully swung it, using the golden spear as a concealed weapon!
“Swish!”
The golden spear let out a long howl and became a beam of light as it flew towards the gigantic arm!
Su Haotian saw that he wasn’t able to injure the huge hand and his face turned ugly. Now that he saw Ye Yuman’s display of might, he felt a stifling feeling in his chest, causing his Qi and blood to churn as he stood there like he was sitting on pins and needles! With both hands on the sword hilt, he lifted it up high.
“Destroying the army!” He shouted, “Ah!” With a scream, a tall shadow appeared behind Su Haotian. The phantom did the same action as him, holding a long sword high up in the air. And that long sword was real, not fake!
Seeing that Su Haotian had used this move, Qi Xiao’s expression changed. However, he knew that his senior brother was too strong, so he did not stop him. He quickly took out a pill and prepared to give it to Su Haotian later.
“Kill!” Su Haotian shouted loudly again. Both of his hands exerted force and fiercely hacked the sword down.
Bang.
Bang.
The two giant hands broke into pieces at the same time with a screeching sound like that of a rock breaking. However, its body turned into a cloud of gas and was completely melted by the water. Ye Yu Sang hurriedly withdrew his golden spear and placed it in the air, his face pale as he walked in front of Zi Shuang. Violet Frost’s hand wrapped around the emerald green branch quickly pressed against his back, replenishing the energy he had just consumed.
At this moment, Su Haotian’s entire body was powerless. He was also trembling so much that he almost fell down. Qi Xiao hurriedly ran to his side and supported him. After giving the pill to Su Haotian to consume, in the blink of an eye, he looked towards the shadow behind Su Hao. The phantasm was incomparably malevolent at this moment, as though it wanted to break free from its shackles. Qi Xiao placed his index finger between his eyebrows, looked at the shadow, and said, “Life.”
The mysterious man instantly quieted down, quietly shattering and dispersing.
Just when everyone thought that the danger had passed, suddenly, a huge golden light descended from above, a ten zhang tall golden Buddha statue slowly descended.
“I am the Great Blessed Buddha. Since I have traveled to this point today, I can bestow upon you the blessings of Buddhism.” The Buddha’s thick golden lips moved as he spoke. His words seemed to be filled with a strange power, making it impossible for people to resist.
Suddenly, Violetfrost fell to her knees and said, “We are willing.”
Following that, Xue Yuzhi also kneeled down and said sincerely: “I’m willing.”.
Subsequently, Su Haotian and Ye Yusan, whose Essence was insufficient, kneeled down and said, “We are willing.”
Ding Hong frowned as he looked at the gigantic golden Buddha. His instincts told him that this was definitely a devil, not a Buddha!
It was the form, not the image!
At this time, Suo Bing said flatly, “Young master, I’ll break him.”
“Oh?” Ding Hong looked at her and then nodded.
Seeing that Ding Hong had agreed, Suo Bing slowly unfurled the fixed sky scroll in her hand. Her slender fingers gently touched the painting, causing clear air to suddenly spread out from the painting and onto her hand.
Xiao Qin had been paying attention to them for a long time. When she saw Suo Bing opening the painting and looking at it more closely, she saw that it was empty and had nothing. She couldn’t help but ponder, thinking that this time was very special and she was secretly careful.
After Suo Bing obtained a clear air, she rolled up the painting again. Her hand that was covered in fresh air pointed at the golden Buddha statue from a distance. A passage suddenly opened up in the water, and an earthen yellow sword qi slowly flew towards the golden Buddha statue.
When Xiao Qin saw the sword qi, her expression changed. That sword aura was obviously the same sword aura he had when he clashed with the Sky Demon Sword earlier!
When the golden Buddha statue saw the incoming sword qi, it also felt the danger. Raising its lips, it chanted, “Buddha, receive me. I will lead all living beings.”
“Buddha, guide me through all life.”
“Buddha, guide me through all life.”
“… …” The surrounding echoes suddenly increased in volume, and Suo Bing’s face turned pale. Her hands became a little weak, and the sword Qi that was flying slowly was also starting to become unstable under Suo Bing’s control. It seemed to be dissipating.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side and gripped her wrist tightly. It helped her calm down and also helped her resist the disturbing effects of the Brahma sound that surrounded her.
