Rules of Heaven - C78
After Han Liang used the golden fog, most of the strength in his body dissipated. He stood on the black metal spear with a pale face, staring coldly at the spot where Ding Hong had disappeared, his fists clenched so tightly that his joints trembled. He gritted his teeth and said, “Go! Call everyone else over here, I don’t believe we won’t be able to catch him! ”
At this moment, Zhao Yuan Hao had just reached his side. When he heard Han Li’s words, he was stunned for a moment and hesitantly said, “Senior Brother Han, this … this isn’t good, is it …”
Han Liang suddenly turned around and glared at him. “Laozi told you to go, so go! Where the hell did all this nonsense come from!?” Be careful that your father will cripple you right now! ”
Zhao Yuanhao trembled with fear. Trembling and nodding his head, he controlled the Wasteland River Mirror and left. However, after he left, a dark blue light shone out of his eyes. Even Liu Sanniang, who was standing behind him, couldn’t help but shiver in fear.
After Ding Hong and Suo Bing dodged Han Liang and the others’ attacks, they let out a sigh of relief. Just now, he had used every means at his disposal. Except for the Fou talisman, which was too big of a connection, he didn’t dare to use it recklessly. However, he didn’t expect Han Liang to have such a high cultivation base. It only weakened him for a while, but did not harm his foundation!
Ding Hong was puzzled. “What kind of person is this Han Liang? Why have I never heard of him before?”
Suo Bing guessed, “He looks like one of those Loose Immortals.”
Ding Hong murmured to himself, “Rogue Immortals, Rogue Immortals.” He suddenly thought of something and asked, “Then do you know if Rogue Immortals have something similar to an organization?”
Suo Bing fell into deep thought, then shook his head and said, “The clan’s secret scroll did not mention these things. However, according to the habits of normal people, even if they are Rogue Immortals with no limitations, they should form an organization similar to an alliance, right? ”
Ding Hong muttered to himself irresolutely. Han Liang couldn’t tell if he was a disciple of a cultivation sect or a Loose Immortal. However, based on the theory that he had just heard in his hall, how could an ordinary righteous disciple do such a brazen thing! However, Ding Hong didn’t discover any demonic aura from him when it came to demonic sects, which was why he started to suspect if Han Liang had an organization or something to back him up.
However, since he had already left their pursuit, he should be able to calm down for a while. He said to Su Bing, “Find a hiding place and hide.”
Su Bing nodded and flew off into the distance.
The weather was very cold, and the Duo Ling snowflakes had already become a killing weapon. They quickly turned into streaks of white light at an extremely fast speed. If he didn’t release his spirit energy to block them, he was afraid that the snowflakes would have dismembered him. Ding Hong slightly turned the spiritual energy in his surroundings, allowing the snowflakes to coincidentally fly past him.
Standing there and looking into the distance, he could faintly see a large black mountain range. Above the mountain range, black clouds that were mixed with red flames were roiling about, and thunder rumbled nonstop. Seeing this situation, Ding Hong could not help but be stupefied. He had been there not long ago, so why hadn’t he seen such a terrifying scene before?
Suo Bing suddenly said, “I’m afraid someone is making a lot of iron grade equipment there.”
Ding Hong was puzzled. “Why is that so?”
“That mountain range was a black iron mine a long time ago, but it was abandoned because it was too difficult to mine. The clouds were darker and thicker than usual, made by the black smoke of burning wood, coal, and the like. Thunder was probably cold in the sky, but it was also hot underground. When the two sides collided, it would cause rain to appear above, but it would not rain. This is how it should look like in this cycle. ”
Hearing his words, Ding Hong couldn’t help but frown. He said, “When the Zhou and Qi countries were forging weapons, not even tens of thousands of people were equipped with such grandiose equipment. What are they trying to do with the Curse?”
Suo Bing said, “At this level, we’ll have to create nearly ten million tools!”
Ding Hong was shocked. He then looked into the distance and thought about the Ghost Clan’s invasion in 20 years. But with this momentum, how could it possibly take twenty years? I’m afraid the world will be in chaos in ten years! Thinking about it like this, he needed to increase his strength a little, or else the Sword Emperor would return to the underworld before its fame spread.
After a while, Suo Bing arrived at a deep valley. There was a small river in the valley, miraculously unfrozen. At the bottom of the canyon, there was a huge groove that formed a place that resembled a lip.
After arriving, Ding Hong did not stop and took out the pearl from his Mountain River Bag. When he looked carefully, he could feel ripples in the water. When he felt the similarity, he could not help but sigh, “I thought I would find something related to the lake, but I didn’t expect it to be a water mark.” He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
“Suo Bing, guard the surroundings.”
Su Bing nodded, hugged the painting, and left.
Ding Hong placed the pearl on the ground and sat down cross-legged to meditate. Not long after, a little Ding Hong, who was carrying a Yin Yang sword formation on his back, jumped out from the top of his head. However, what was particularly eye-catching was that the Ever-Flame Sword in the Yin Yang Sword Formation was a sword blade. The top was thin, while the bottom was wide. It was not in the form of a phoenix as usual. This surprised Ding Hong a little, but he did not have the time to study it.
He came before the pearl and flipped through it with his small hand. Immediately, an azure liquid flew out from the pearl and followed a miraculous trajectory towards the ‘stop’ character on the Yin Yang sword formation. The calligraphy book was a bit brighter, and after coming into contact with the green liquid, the light became even brighter, illuminating the originally dark grooves.
Soon after, the illusory blade began to take shape, and light green water slowly filled up the entire blade. Like this, two hours passed and the bead actually dimmed. From its original bright color, it became as bright as a stone. However, Ding Hong felt that the blade engraved on the word “stop” was not complete! He frowned and carefully recalled the little person back, afraid that the same thing would happen again, similar to the time when he was forging the Ever-Flame Sword.
However, this time, it was much calmer and there were no surprises. After withdrawing the little person, Ding Hong had an idea. He pulled out a green water blade from the void beside him. This was because even though it looked like a sword blade, it was actually made entirely out of water. He pondered for a moment, then pointed at the stream in the distance and flicked his finger upwards.
Puff.
A column of water over half a meter wide actually surged out of the stream! Ding Hong was startled. Just now, he was just a little bit more casual, but its power was actually this strong. If he were to use his full power, wouldn’t he be able to control any flow of water? But then he started to ponder. If the power was so great, then why did it feel incomplete?
After a while, he once again released his profound energy to explore the place he had just been.
Suddenly, Ding Hongqi said, “Eh, why is there a ball of affinity at that point? Did I not take something just now? ”
Thinking of this, Ding Hong was speechless. Logically speaking, that should not be possible. A mistake! Could it be that he had to run back and explore? His scalp turned numb. If he met Han Liang and the rest on the way back, wouldn’t it be a bunch of things? It was difficult to avoid what was happening right now. However, he knew that if he didn’t go back now, other people might get their hands on the item and get involved in other things later on.
After muttering to himself irresolutely, Ding Hong came to a decision. He placed the stone bead into the bag and came out. He looked around for Suo Bing.
Just then, a young girl’s voice was heard. “Why didn’t you let me pass!? This is my place! ”
Suo Bing’s voice was not as cold as before, and she replied with an unknown emotion, “You can’t go.”
Ding Hong was taken aback. He walked over after hearing the sound. After turning a corner and seeing the situation, he felt awkward. He coughed dryly and turned around. It turned out that there was a girl bathing in that small river. She looked at Suo Bing with her head full of anger. There were a few plaits on her forehead, making her look cute and generous.
When she saw Ding Hong, she gave a loud “Ah” cry and dived into the water. She even said a sound in the water, “So you guys had planned this! Be careful, I might ask my grandfather to take care of you! ”
Suo Bing frowned, not knowing what to say. Just now, she had grinded her lips with this young girl for a long time. The young girl had insisted that the groove was where she lived. When she was bathing, she had left all her clothes inside and wanted to get it. Originally, with Su Bing’s personality, she had already opened up the painting to fight. However, from Ding Hong’s appearance, it seemed like he wanted to cultivate some sort of technique, which was the best for him to be quiet. After seeing Ding Hong come out, Suo Bing immediately felt that the matter was much easier to resolve. She said, “You can go back now.”
Ding Hong naturally couldn’t get involved. His eyes scanned the surroundings and found that the snow and ice were especially beautiful. It seemed to be much cuter than the previous snow.
The girl stuck her head out again and mumbled a bunch of words. It was probably because I wanted to find my grandpa to take care of you guys. After seeing Ding Hong this time, Suo Bing did not pay any more attention to her. Under Ding Hong’s instructions, she unfurled the painting, picked up Ding Hong and left. When the young girl saw the two leave, she ruthlessly snorted and looked left and right before coming out of the water with a reddened face. She then pulled out a cloak from the void and put it on her body.
It was a cold day, and she did not mind the cold. She hopped over to the groove and stopped as she passed the place where the sword had been forged. She said in surprise, “How can there be such a strong water element?” What did that person do here? ” After a long moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuan walked up to a wall and lightly knocked on it. Soon, the wall sank and an underground manor that resembled a mansion appeared.
The girl went in and came out again after a while. She changed into a new set of light green clothes and complained loudly to the sky, “Grandfather, why didn’t you come earlier! There was someone who bullied me just now! ”
A brown robed old man drilled out from a high stone wall, just like an Earthen Lord. He was shocked as he heard the girl’s words: “What!” With a jump, he went up to her and carefully examined her as if he had never seen her before. He looked at her with suspicion and said, “Wu’er, don’t lie to me. Weren’t you the one who was bullying others?”
The young girl glared at him and said, “Why would Ling Wu’er lie to you?”
The old man coughed twice and said righteously, “Since that’s the case, let’s go find that person for trouble! “Wu’er, lead the way!” Although he did his best to show his anger, it seemed like excitement to the outside world.
After Ding Hong and Suo Bing left, Ding Hong told Suo Bing his purpose. Suo Bing didn’t ask why and flew back to the cave with the painting. However, when they were far away, they stopped and carefully observed their surroundings.
It was unknown how Han Liang’s group managed to find the exit, but they were able to find it in such a secretive place! Recalling the appearance of the exit of the passageway, at first it was not damaged, but instead red as if it was safely opened. Suddenly, Ding Hong thought of the mysterious dragon girl. His eyes flickered with light. The luck she was referring to was probably not that divine dragon, but rather someone who wanted to see if he could obtain something from Han Liang’s hands! If that was the case, then this dragon girl should be on Han Liang’s side!
Suo Bing suddenly said, “Young master, someone seems to be coming.”
“Hmm?” Ding Hong regained his senses and looked forward. A few rays of light flashed by and stopped at the exit of the tunnel. Upon a closer look, it was actually He Dinghong and Suo Bing’s group!
Ding Hong pondered for a moment, then said to Su Bing, “Let’s go.”
Su Bing nodded and controlled the painting to fly over.
The group of people here seemed to have suffered a bit and actually appeared to be in a sorry state. At this moment, Su Haotian was standing at the furthest corner. Seeing that there was someone approaching from afar, he instinctively turned cold and was about to attack. Suddenly, he heard that person shout loudly, “Senior brother Su, please wait!”
When Su Haotian heard his shout, he stopped and let Ding Hong and Su Bing come to his side.
After Ding Hong came between them, he approached Su Ting and Xue Yuzhi and lightly smiled at them as a form of greeting. Afterwards, he smiled and bowed to everyone while saying, “What a coincidence.”
Su Haotian looked at him and coldly said, “When we were attacked earlier, how come you weren’t that lucky?”
Su Ting had a good relationship with Ding Hong. Seeing Su Haotian speak so aggressively, he frowned: “Senior Brother Su, what do you mean by this?”
Deacon Tan saw the attitude in their eyes and said: “Amitabha, please don’t get involved in the internal strife. We just lured the guards away so we should hurry up and take our things away.”
Yuan Yushan was also a bit suspicious of Ding Hong’s actions of watching the show, but it was not a good time for internal strife, so he agreed: “What Senior Brother Dekang said is true, we should go in and get the thing first. Otherwise, when those rogue cultivators and Devil Dao people come, all of the hard work will be wasted. ”
Qi Xiao didn’t want to do that either, so he gave his senior a meaningful glance. Su Haotian also understood what was going on. He fiercely exhaled, glared at Ding Hong and Su Bing, then turned around and walked inside. Soon after, everyone hurriedly followed suit.
When Ding Hong saw this scene, he couldn’t help but frown. He asked Su Ting, “Senior Sister Su, what happened to you two just now?”
Su Ting saw that his expression didn’t seem to be faking it, and was about to explain when Xue Yu said: “Originally, after we were broken up by the ice in the lake, we searched everywhere, but we couldn’t find anything, so we returned to the mainland. I ran into them there. After that, when they wanted to leave, they discovered this place. However, there was a group of fiendish looking people who said that they came first and occupied this place. The things inside were all theirs. “Then …” She had a helpless look on her face as she said, “And then they started fighting …”
