Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 89 A Shocking Secret

“Where did you get this information?” Ding Hao stopped pondering and asked, “And didn’t Mu Tianyang come to the Primordial World with you? Where is he now?”

“After coming to the Primordial World, in order to speed up the search for the Heart of Heaven and Earth, we immediately searched separately. As for the information, I learned it from a quarter of the Heart of Heaven and Earth I got.” Xuan Tianzong did not hide anything and told Ding Hao everything.

“A quarter of the Heart of Heaven and Earth!” Ding Hao narrowed his eyes.

Xuan Tianzong nodded. Suddenly, there was a flash of cold light in his eyes. He said coldly, “After I came to the Primordial World, I came across some opportunities. I got a quarter of the Heart of Heaven and Earth and refined it in my body. It was also for this reason that I was targeted by Ding Tong.”

“He refined it in his body!”

Ding Hao was slightly surprised. Only now did he realize that the strength of Xuan Tianzong had reached the peak of the Eternal Realm.

In this way, it was very likely that it was because of that quarter of the Heart of Heaven and Earth that he had improved his cultivation.

“Ding Tong knew that you have the Heart of Heaven and Earth. You were trapped in the dark spring. In other words, he plotted against you…” Ding Hao was aware of something.

“A few days ago, when I was looking for the Heart of Heaven and Earth in this area, I accidentally fell into the thief’s trap. Originally, he wanted me to hand over that quarter, but unfortunately, that part of the Heart of Heaven and Earth had already been refined by me, so he couldn’t take it out at all…”

Speaking of this, the cold light in the eyes of Xuan Tianzong became more intense. “But I didn’t expect that he would get half of the Heart of Heaven and Earth. His strength has greatly increased, but he can still restrain me. Because of this, even if I have cultivated to the peak of the Eternal Realm, I couldn’t get rid of his trap.

“However, because I have refined the Heart of Heaven and Earth, he couldn’t take it out of my body. He could only rely on the water of the dark spring to contaminate my body and mind…”

“Ding Tong got half of the Heart of Heaven and Earth!”

After hearing the news, Ding Hao suddenly felt depressed.

This was absolutely not good news for him.

“During this period, if I hadn’t used the power of the Heart of Heaven and Earth to resist the power of the dark spring water, Ding Tong would have got what he wants long ago…” Xuan Tianzong said in a cold voice.

Xuan Tianzong had been invaded by a large number of dark forces recently, which was why his body had become so strange.

“It’s a pity that these dark forces are too strange. Even if I want to expel them from my body, it’s difficult to do so. However, during this period, I have gained a lot of understanding of the principle of dark forces. Sooner or later, I can completely eliminate them…” Speaking of this, Xuan Tianzong regained his calm again. Although his body was strange and looked weird, his temperament as a Great Grandmaster could not be concealed.

In the past, because of his disciple, the fire artificer Hades True Immortal, Xuan Tianzong had a deep understanding of dark power. Now that he had comprehended it, he thought that even if his understanding of it could not be compared with that of Ding Tong, it would be similar.

In order to comprehend the principle of dark power, Ding Hao had made a crazy move in the eyes of others, including drinking a drop of dark spring water. Therefore, he still had some insights about some of the principles of dark power.

Now that he had rescued Xuan Tianzong, it was time to leave.

“There is a tactical deployment here, which has strong defensive power. Besides, there is the dark spring as the array eye. I couldn’t break it before, but now with you, it should not be a problem to break this tactical deployment…” Ding Hao had made up his mind. He no longer hesitated. After saying a few words to Xuan Tianzong, he was ready to set off as soon as possible.

Naturally, Xuan Tianzong had no objection. He immediately swallowed the elixirs that Ding Hao gave him, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and absorbed the Qi of Heaven and Earth to quickly restore his vital Qi. As for the dark power invading his body, he forcibly suppressed it at the same time.

During this period, Ding Hao called everyone from the Charm Tribe over and told them that he was going to break the tactical deployment and return to the Charm Region. As for the information he had just learned, Ding Hao naturally would not tell them.

When the people of the Charm Tribe heard that the tactical deployment could be breached, they could return to the Charm Region, and Ding Hao seemed to be very confident, they could not help but be overjoyed.

During this period, after learning about Ding Tong’s plan, they were very anxious here and wished they could return to the Charm Region as soon as possible.

Although Evil Moon usually looked stupid and cute, it was very thoughtful. It knew that Xuan Tianzong must have told Ding Hao some important information just now, but it did not ask Ding Hao about it in front of the crowd.

After about half a day, Xuan Tianzong finally recovered a certain amount of vital Qi.

Everyone immediately prepared to set off.

Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong came to the front and appeared in front of the ten dark experts.

“After so many days, he’s finally going to attack again? Haha… Eh? Strange, I don’t think I’ve seen this person before…” One of the dark experts who hadn’t spoken before suddenly spoke.

Another dark expert said disdainfully, “I don’t care who that person is. When he fought with those women before, he failed to break the tactical deployment. Now even if he has an extra helper, it is impossible for him to break this tactical deployment.”

…

“It’s time for us to go out!” A faint voice sounded. Ding Hao took a step forward, and his whole body released endless horrifying power.

At this moment, the sword and the saber appeared. The sword Qi soared, and the Saber Radiance shot into the sky. It was dazzling and resplendent.

The sound of sword Qi and Saber Qi spread between heaven and earth like ripples of water.

Terrifying power once again erupted between heaven and earth.

At the same time, the tactical deployment changed again.

The water of the dark spring kept gushing out and divided into endless dark forces, which poured into a certain point through the void. The ten dark guardian experts also made a move. They struck out their palms and slapped toward the cage.

The dark power, which was as surging as the sea, collided with the power of the saber and the sword again.

Once again, the two sides’ forces were evenly matched, maintaining a subtle stage.

“Yes, it’s right there. Break!” Ding Hao said with a bright light in his eyes and a smile on his face. Then, he suddenly raised his hand. A streak of Sword Light flashed and disappeared into a point in the void.

Boom!

“What!” Under the shocked gazes of the ten dark experts, the dark forces were instantly evaporated into water vapor, like snow meeting boiling hot water.

At this moment, the dark power, which had been unbreakable before, was broken down.

But that was not all. When the sword Qi reached the cage, an ear-piercing shriek rang out. In the surprised eyes of many people of the Charm Tribe, a gap appeared in the cage.

But the next moment, the ten dark experts sneered, because the tactical deployment had not been breached yet, and they were moving as fast as lightning.

“It’s my turn!” Just as they sneered, the voice of Xuan Tianzong suddenly entered their ears.

Xuan Tianzong crossed his arms in front of his chest. Rays of dazzling light suddenly shot out from the left part of his chest. There, one could vaguely see a quarter of a heart. It was a fist-sized piece, but there were obvious cuts on it.

An extremely special and terrifying force suddenly burst out like a light column and hit the cage of the tactical deployment.

In the stiff eyes of the ten dark creatures, the tactical deployment that had besieged Ding Hao and the others for eleven days was finally broken in an instant like smoke meeting wind and snow meeting fire. The next moment, it disappeared.

“It’s breached!”

The people of the Charm Tribe were all pleasantly surprised and excited.

At the same time as the tactical deployment was broken, the dark spring, which had been surging non-stop, suddenly stopped spraying out the dark spring water.

Then, the water quickly receded like tides, leaving only a huge deep pit. It disappeared completely, leaving no water at all.

At the same time as the tactical deployment was broken, the dark spring water that could turn people into dark creatures and had been troubling the members of the Charm Tribe finally dried up.

Everyone’s joy grew even stronger.

“Let’s go!” Ding Hao shouted and immediately rushed to the ten dark experts with many members of the Charm Tribe, who shouted “Let’s go” as well.

Since the tactical deployment had been broken and the dark spring had dried up, they naturally would not stay here. The first thing they wanted to do was to leave and return to the Charm Tribe.

“Oh no, run!” Seeing the people of the Charm Tribe rushing over angrily, as well as Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong, the ten dark experts were shocked. They did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly fled. Like wisps of black smoke, they left this area.

Without the tactical deployment, even if these dark experts were in the Eternal Realm, they would not be able to resist Ding Hao and those from the Charm Tribe. Moreover, the order they received was to guard this place. If they encountered any danger, they would naturally run as far as possible.

Seeing that they had fled as soon as possible, Ding Hao and the others did not chase after them. Instead, they ran in another direction, in the direction of the imperial palace of the Charm Tribe.

As for the densely packed dark creatures, they’d vanished a few days ago, and it was as if they’d never appeared here.

Therefore, Ding Hao and the others were not attacked when they went back this time.

Those ordinary dark creatures were gone. Ding Hao and the others knew that Ding Tong must have sent them to attack the Charm Tribe.

At this moment, the previous joy completely disappeared, and the air seemed to be filled with a tense atmosphere. They did not dare to stay any longer, and the speed of the team even accelerated.

The sky seemed to be struck by lightning, and it was extremely swift.

Along the way, they saw countless giant trees collapse, and some cities built by the tribesmen of the Charm Tribe were also turned into ruins. The cities were robbed, and the bodies of their tribesmen were piled up like mountains. The place was filled with the smell of death.

Smoke spread thousands of miles, and the whole place was filled with desolation.

The previous prosperity of the tribe was gone, leaving only numerous cold and broken corpses.

Seeing so many tribesmen die miserably, Qin Menglan, the Empress, and the other members of the Charm Tribe were filled with grief and indignation, but what they had to do now was to return to the imperial palace as soon as possible.

Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong also felt heavy-hearted when they saw this scene. Both of them were concerned about human beings and were concerned about the safety of the whole world. How could they not feel sad when they saw the Charm Tribe in such a situation?

Soon, in the depressed atmosphere, Ding Hao and the others finally returned to the World Tree in the Charm Region, which was like a towering pillar.

What caused them to faintly heave sighs of relief was that the World Tree hadn’t collapsed, and the imperial city was still there. Even though the outside world was in a mess and covered in traces of battle and slaughter, even though many tribesmen had perished, most of members of the tribe were still alive.

However, the crowd soon became nervous again, because, in front of the imperial city, there were countless black figures desperately rushing over like waves. The people of the Charm Tribe who were trying to resist the attacks were much fewer in number.

Waves of shouts shook the heavens and the earth, and the deafening sounds of explosions rose higher and higher.

Fire soared into the sky, and smoke and dust swirled in all directions.

The scene was extremely cruel. Corpses were strewn all over the ground.

The imperial city was indeed in crisis.

Everyone present looked grim. A female warrior of the Charm Tribe hurried out and said to Empress Qin Menglan, “Your Majesty, those dark creatures are attacking the imperial city. Judging from the situation, if we don’t take action as soon as possible, the imperial city will be in crisis!”

“I know that!” Qin Menglan said with a gloomy face. She turned to Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong and asked for help. “Gentlemen, I hope you can help save our Charm Tribe. We will definitely repay your great kindness in the future.”

The current situation was extremely critical, and Qin Menglan was also very anxious, but she knew that unless Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong helped her, even if she and her tribesmen rushed over, they could not repel the dark army.

Ding Hao immediately responded, “I’ll surely help you, Patriarch Qin. Your tribe is in danger. Of course, I won’t stand idly by…”

“The reason why I was able to come out this time is not only because of the help of Ding Hao but also because of you. I will naturally not forget this favor…” Xuan Tianzong said.

Ding Hao knew what Qin Menglan wanted to say, so he immediately interrupted her. “Let’s move now, or your imperial city will be in jeopardy!”
