Rules of Heaven - C76
The Azure Dragon spat out a mouthful of blood, and the light in the eyes of the Azure Dragon dimmed. Its anger had increased by a few points, like a raging inferno that was constantly burning his heart!
“Kill you, kill you!” Xiao Long roared loudly. His entire body was suddenly shrouded in orchid colored flames, and he rushed towards Ding Hong at great speed.
Ding Hong sneered, “You want to self-destruct your core! “How could it be that easy!”
He raised the sword with one hand, then released his grip, allowing the sword to float on its own. Then, he rubbed his thumb together with his middle finger. With a rub, the Emperor’s sword immediately shrunk to the size of a thin golden needle. Ding Hong held the golden needle and flicked it at the little azure dragon that was about to reach him. The golden needle transformed into a tiny stream of light and flew into the little azure dragon.
However, the dragon didn’t seem to realize this and continued to scream as it charged forward. Unexpectedly, when he reached Ding Hong’s side, Ding Hong squeezed his left hand and the small dragon shrunk back in the blink of an eye, changing its appearance from a new smooth white inner core. He reached out his hand to grab the inner core, and a tiny golden sword qi appeared on his index finger as he pointed it at Liu Ming.
After this point, the inner core instantly became dull and lifeless. The azure dragon that was resisting the ripples immediately became lifeless. Its hand loosened and the fire in its eyes also disappeared. Nothing could stop the golden pillar of light. In the blink of an eye, it had already passed through its chest! Soon after, the golden pillar of light dispersed into small grains of sand and returned to the area around Ding Hong’s hand.
Subsequently, a few golden grains of sand flew out from the Azure Dragon’s Beast Core. Together with the scattered grains of sand, they formed the Emperor’s Sword!
Looking at the neidan, Ding Hong said coldly, “Hmph, you, who have already lost your power, dares to fight with me!” He turned his head to look at Suo Bing, who was still bleeding from the corner of his mouth. His body moved and arrived in front of her in the blink of an eye.
After receiving that golden light, Suo Bing only felt a fierce power roaming all over her body, healing the injuries on her body in the blink of an eye.
Suo Bing returned the greeting and said, “Thank you, senior.”
Ding Hong nodded and said, “Hold him.”
Although he didn’t know why, Suo Bing still did as he was told and went over to support him. Just as he was about to support Ding Hong, he suddenly took a step forward. However, this step did not move Ding Hong. Instead, a man wearing a embroidered golden silk robe walked out from Ding Hong’s body.
The man’s eyes were filled with electricity, and his brows and tail actually stretched out to his face, making him look like two real swords. After that, Ding Hong’s entire body went soft and he was about to fall down. At this moment, the man turned around and pointed at Ding Hong’s forehead. Not long later, Ding Hong woke up.
Seeing him wake up, the man laughed out loud, “Disciple, if you see me, hurry up and greet me!”
When Ding Hong saw him, he instinctively felt a sense of closeness to him. Seeing the way he was dressed, he immediately understood and faintly guessed who he was. Although he couldn’t be sure, he still let go of Suo Bing’s hand and hurriedly kowtowed. “Disciple Ding Hong greets Master Chong Tian!”
The man said excitedly, “Hahahaha, good, good, good! I never thought that I would be able to see my successor again in my lifetime! ”
Hearing him say that he was a heaven-defying genius, Ding Hong’s eyes lit up. He had guessed correctly. Suo Bing silently watched from the side and didn’t participate.
Chong Tian helped Ding Hong up and carefully sized him up a few times. He smiled and said, “The more you look, the more you look like me. You do have my old style.” Then, he frowned. “It’s just that I’m a bit less bold, just that I don’t have the same domineering aura as I was back then.”
After listening to his lecture, how could Ding Hong dare to answer? When he had received the Dao Realm legacy from Meng Hao, he had personally experienced its power.
Zhong Tian turned his head to look at Suo Bing and said, “Bring that picture scroll over!”
Suo Bing didn’t move, but looked at Ding Hong. Ding Hong froze for a moment before he embarrassedly nodded his head.
Zhong Tian laughed loudly. He didn’t mind at all as he grabbed the fixed sky scroll from Suo Bing’s hands and opened it up for a close look. After looking for a while, Chong Tian said seriously, “It really is it!” He looked at Suo Bing, “This painting scroll has two volumes in total! Where is the scroll of the painter? ”
Suo Bing replied, “In someone else’s hands.”
Chong Tian chuckled and said, “Back then, I have done so much for this painting! I never expected to see it when it’s dead! ”
Hearing him say that he was “only seen when he is dead”, Ding Hong thought to himself. He knew that he had used some sort of secret technique to revive him. Although he had some doubts, he did not express them.
Seeing him act this way, Zhong Tian’s eyes shone with majesty. He smiled and said, “Disciple, I am only borrowing a sliver of remnant soul from the Dao Realm to Yang! If it was my real body, how could I let Green Sunflower fight with me for so long? Then hack him with a sword! ”
Ding Hong nodded his head in agreement. He did not dare to refute and did not continue to be suspicious.
Chong Tian then gave up the internal pill and handed it over to Ding Hong. He smiled and said, “This thing is a good treasure. If I refine a magic treasure in the future, its power will be boundless!”
After hearing that green dragon say that it was the Dragon God himself, how could its neidan be a small thing? After suppressing the excitement in its heart with great difficulty, it took it and put it into the Mountain River Bag.
When Chong Tian saw him put the item away, he said, “Since I’ve met you today, I shall give you my last inheritance!” Lifting his hand, he pointed at Ding Hong’s glabella. The moment his fingertips touched the top of Ding Hong’s head, he instantly felt an incomparably strong pressure flood his mind. At the same time, a powerful sword intent that he could not understand rushed into the spot between his eyebrows and was trapped there like a mustard seed.
Ah!
Ding Hong cried out in pain. His head felt like it was about to explode. After half the time it took to brew a cup of tea, he withdrew his Heaven Smiting Hand. Ding Hong’s entire body went limp and his legs went weak. He was about to fall down. Suo Bing’s eyes were fast as she quickly reached out her hand to support him.
However, the Heavy Heavens did not care about what he was doing now. He felt that he did not have much time left. With a wave of his hand, he suspended the Sky Securing Painting high up in the air and slashed across the air! After this stroke, the thick Emperor Sword drawn in the fixed sky painting suddenly shone with light. The heavy sky had a serious face, and with two hands, he held the Emperor Sword horizontally, walking in the air, he arrived in front of the fixed sky painting and slowly released the Emperor Sword out of the fixed sky painting!
The moment the Emperor’s sword entered the fixed sky scroll, it released a golden light that was a hundred times more exaggerated than before. It immediately lit up the surroundings with a golden light, making it impossible to see anything clearly!
After a few breaths of time, the golden light suddenly disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, all of it entered the scroll. The Thick Emperor Sword that was originally drawn on the scroll now had a slight protruding feeling, as if a sword had been placed on top of it.
After Zhong Tian saw it, he nodded his head in satisfaction. He put away the fixed sky painting and came down from the air. Facing Ding Hong, his eyes shone brightly as he said loudly, “Today, I will pass down my one and only treasure, the Emperor Sword! Disciple, you may use this Primordial Divine Sword to recreate the Sword Emperor’s might! ”
Ding Hong’s heart was roused by his words. His eyes flashed and an unprecedented domineering aura burst forth from his heart. His sword-like eyebrows raised as he pushed away Suo Bing’s hand and proudly said, “Of course!”
Zhong Tian laughed, his expression suddenly turning cold as he said: “Do you dare to accept my position of Sword Emperor!?”
Ding Hong loudly said, “Why would I not dare!”
Chong Tian looked at him for a long time. He lifted his hand and pointed at the golden sword between his eyebrows. He pulled out a golden, lightning-like thread and pressed it between Ding Hong’s eyebrows. After Ding Hong received the golden thread between his brows, his mind began to churn, and he suddenly felt the Emperor Sword within the fixed sky painting begin to hum! What Chong Tian had given him was actually the soul strand that was linked to the Emperor Sword!
Seeing that he had accepted the thread, Chong Tian laughed loudly and said, “From today onwards, you are the Sword Emperor. Hahahaha, Old Master, I will pass on the Sword Emperor position to you in the end. ”
“It was passed down! “Hahahaha!”
Amidst his wild laughter, Chong Tian’s body actually gradually turned into tiny grains of sand, dissipating into the air. As Ding Hong watched him disappear from his sight, he felt as if he was in a dream, unable to recover for a long time.
Back then, he was just a dejected young master, but now …? Even he himself was a little confused about what he had changed into with a shake of his body. Although he looked calm as if he would definitely be able to make the Sword Emperor shine, he still felt that it was not possible. The bottom of his heart was beating like a drum.
At this time, Suo Bing had already cleaned up the bloodstains and tidied up her appearance. Seeing Ding Hong’s speechless expression, she couldn’t help but ask, “Young Master, what are you thinking about?”
Ding Hong regained his senses and laughed embarrassedly, “I was thinking, just now, I was too impulsive, and took this position of Sword Emperor that sounded so shocking to me. What should I do in the future? “Also …” “Master Chong Tian seemed to have instilled some sort of emotion into me just now, but I don’t know which one it is. If it were to flare up in the future, it wouldn’t be good.”
After hearing that, Suo Bing guessed, “It’s probably his arrogance!”
“Arrogant?” Hearing those words, Ding Hong’s heart trembled. Thinking about it, it was indeed possible. Just now, they already said that he lacked a domineering aura when they met. Who knows, the emotions that he injected into them just now might be his domineering aura. However, thinking about it, what exactly is it that can’t be figured out with just a few words, Ding Hong could only be vigilant in his heart. He could not let his emotions go out of control.
However, this gave Ding Hong an invisible shackle that constantly restrained him. He didn’t know whether this was a good or a bad thing.
Ding Hong suddenly thought of the woman just now and said to Su Bing, “No wonder that mysterious woman said that she was looking at our luck. It seems like she definitely knows that there’s a divine dragon guarding this place, even if we enter, we won’t be able to escape death!”
Su Bing nodded.
Ding Hong said, “Let’s go to the main hall to see if the Water Devouring Beads are inside.”
The two of them walked forward into the great hall. The hall was luxuriously decorated, and even the few large pillars were made of a type of jade material that he had never seen before. There were three steps at the front of the hall, and behind the steps was a circular platform. On the stage, there was a long, golden-purple jade table with a crown on it. Behind the table was a screen like a peacock.
Seeing how big the surroundings were, it would be difficult to find the Water Devouring Pearl if he searched carefully. He concentrated his mind and prepared to use the method he had found in the Dreamy Cloud Swampland to search for the Water Devouring Bead. Just as he was about to circulate his profound energy, he discovered a very strong feeling coming from the table in front of him. Ding Hong’s eyes lit up as he stared at the crown on the table.
He walked to the table and picked up the crown.
The crown was rectangular in shape, and a curtain of chains hung down in front of it. Behind the chain was a bead that looked like a dark green agate. After some thought, a thin stream of sword Qi emerged from Ding Hong’s finger. It cut open that area and took out the pearl.
This skill had been passed down from him just now, allowing him to control the power of the sword intent within his body. It had become his own instinct. Otherwise, with his cultivation and ability to control the way of the sword, how could he have managed to pull it to such an exquisite level?
The sword intent of the Sword Emperor from back then was actually passed down to him by the previous generation. Afterwards, he relied on an Emperor Sword and a strand of sword intent to charge through the entire world. However, at this point, not many people remembered.
Suddenly, a man said from outside, “Eh? Senior brother Han, looking at the broken walls around us, it seems like someone came here a step before us! ”
“So what? There are beasts guarding outside, there are eight Five-Yuan Life and Death Arrays blocking the way, even if there is a divine dragon!” Judging from the appearance of this divine dragon, it seemed that it had just died not too long ago. Most likely, those people had also just arrived here. Furthermore, they are probably only left with half their lives. What does it matter if we snatch the thing inside and silence them? ” The man that was called Senior Martial Brother Han coldly replied.
The man laughed. “Heh heh, that’s right.”
Ding Hong instinctively thought about whether he was looking around to find the so-called half-dead hiding place.
“Let’s go.” Senior brother Han said again.
Ding Hong and Su Bing heard it clearly from inside the hall and signaled Suo Bing with their eyes. After placing the crown of the Emperor, which had been removed from the pearl, on a table, the two of them circled around the main hall and quietly went to a small house at the back of the main hall.
“Zhao Yuanhao, open your Desolate River Mirror and look around to see if there are any people around.” After entering, Senior Martial Brother Han didn’t see anyone, so he spoke again. This person, Zhao Yuanhao, was probably the first to speak. He seemed to be quite afraid of senior brother Han. When he heard senior brother Han address him by his name, there was no trace of dissatisfaction. Instead, he said very respectfully, “Of course.”
When Ding Hong heard what they had to say, he coldly snorted in his heart. From the looks of it, it was as if they were robbing and killing people for their treasures. Suddenly, a wave of anger emerged from his heart. The small golden sword, which had been hidden in his forehead, suddenly appeared. With a move of his hand, the Emperor Sword that was sealed within the fixed sky scroll let out a cry and was about to break free!
Seeing this, Suo Bing frowned. The people outside could not tell what kind of strength it was. If they were to rush out without knowing anything, they would definitely suffer a great loss. Just as he was about to wake up Ding Hong, Ding Hong’s eyes suddenly lit up. He took a deep breath and broke out in cold sweat as he said, “That was close.”
Suo Bing looked at Ding Hong in surprise and was about to say something when a flirtatious female voice suddenly sounded out, “Aiyo, isn’t that senior brother Zhao and senior brother Han? He came rather early! Why didn’t you tell me? ”
The one surnamed Han coldly laughed a few times and didn’t reply. On the other hand, Zhao Yuanhao laughed and said, “Liu Sanniang, you’re not late either! “As soon as we entered the hall, you guys followed us.”
Another group of people had come?
Liu Sanniang let out a few chuckles and seemed to be sticking close to Zhao Yuanhao, rubbing him somewhere. Liu Sanniang couldn’t help moaning and said softly, “Ah, I didn’t expect that Brother Zhao would be so full of Profound Qi soon after we parted. Come and find me when you’re free.”
This conversation and voice were all fanciful. Ding Hong frowned and blushed, secretly spitting on himself. However, Suo Bing’s face was cold and her eyes flashed with a cold light. If it wasn’t for the timing, she would have killed them immediately.
