Chapter 823 Why Not Join Swordsmanship-seeking Sect?
The two female experts made everyone feel as if two stars were about to collide. Heaven would rend asunder and earth would crack at any time.
“Kill!”
Princess Primordial challenged first.
All the energy balls suddenly were poured out like a storm.
In an instant, everything between heaven and earth seemed to have been destroyed. The sounds of their swords meeting continued nonstop!
This scene was simply too astounding as if the stars suddenly fell from the sky and would destroy the whole world.
Xie Jieyu was standing right where was about to be destroyed.
“Screech!”
The divine phoenix’s lingering cry resounded between heaven and earth.
Xie Jieyu was enveloped in the wings of the divine phoenix.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The thunderous sound of the explosion was heard, shaking the void so hard that it seemed as if a god was striking a divine drum.
However, in the next moment— before the crowd could recover from the fatal killing move, a phoenix cry resounded. A magenta sword light burst out from where Xie Jieyu was standing. It was a flash in the pan – blink and you’ll miss it.
Then, there was only silence around, as if nothing had happened.
Countless gazes instantly fell on the arena.
A breeze was blowing, brushing their long hair.
Xie Jieyu stood still quietly, placing her hands on the Phoenix-pattern Sword Box which had already quieted down.
A wisp of red blood flowed down along her jade-like arms and dripped on the ground. “Drip! Drip!” Sizzling! The ground of the arena, which had been reinforced by dozens of Saint-level Inscriptionists, was immediately burned with holes and smoke when the pale purple blood fell onto it. The purple blood seemed to be the divine burning flames.
In front of her, Princess Primordial was not injured at all.
Around her delicate body, there was a layer of pure moonlight-like energy shield, which protected her. Only the real experts caught it at the moment just now. Every time Princess Primordial struck out a pure star energy ball, the shield around her became stronger and stronger. When all the star energy balls were shot out, her defensive power would be the strongest.
It was simply an incomprehensible and brilliant battle record.
Ding Hao also was very surprised at that moment.
The strength of the Demon Clan princess was somewhat weird.
After a short silence, the crowd was in an uproar. Seeing Xie Jieyu injured, many experts of the Demon Clan couldn’t help roaring excitedly. The outcome of this attack had been decided. Obviously, the Princess of Absolute Beginning was better.
People of the Human Clan felt that it was a pity that Xie Jieyun had been defeated.
“She lost… That was very close just now. What a pity! Do we still have a chance of winning?” Jin sighed with the warriors of the Human Clan next to him. The Life-and-Death Arena would never end unless one of them takes the initiative to admit defeat. However, for the Human Clan and the Demon Clan that had been enemies for Tens of thousands of years, admitting defeat on such an occasion would be worse than death.
Ding Hao said calmly, “Not yet. Just keep watching.”
Jin and everyone’s eyes were fixed on Ding Hao. By then, many people had noticed the extraordinary and handsome young man in green. He was like an exiled immortal whose aura could never be imitated. Besides, what Ding Hao had said before had come true, which made people understand that Ding Hao had a much deeper insight than they did.
Hearing Ding Hao’s words, the Human Clan warriors started to perk up.
“Admit defeat, or continue to fight?”
Xie Jieyu looked down at the wounds on her arms. A ball of golden flame burst out from the wound. The white skin healed in an instant, leaving not even a scar. The pale purple blood had also turned into a flame.
The silver energy shield around Princess Primordial slowly dissipated.
She reached out to her neck. The terrible feeling of being strangled by the sickle in the hand of the God of Death remained. No one knew that she had just been dead just now.
With bewilderment in her beautiful eyes, she frowned and asked, “Why did you grant mercy when taking action?”
“Because you are not a pure-blooded member of the Demon Clan,” Xie Jieyu’s tone was very calm, and she said, “if you want to fight, I won’t be merciful in the next move.”
A trace of tenderness flashed through the princess’s crystal eyes. After thinking for a while, she said, “I can’t block your stroke with my Moon Befalling, at least not now. I lost the battle.”
“Good.” Xie Jieyu nodded.
The Phoenix-pattern Sword Box blurred into a hazy ball of light and retreated into her palm. Her figure flashed, and she disappeared from the arena, turning into a magenta flame, flashing and disappearing in the distant sky. She just left the War God Square directly.
Seeing what just happening, the people all widened their eyes.
In particular, many experts of the two clans who were farther away from the arena did not hear their conversation and did not know what had happened. The battle was not over, but the Human Clan warrior had already left. Was it because that she was afraid of death?
Suddenly, cries of boos and curses could be heard from all directions.
However, the fracas in the Demon Clan didn’t last for too long. The voice of the Demon Clan’s Supreme Master rang in the air, showing no sign of emotion on his face. He said coolly, “The Human Clan in Snow Province won the second round.”
Boom!
His words seemed to be thunder, and it suddenly blew in the crowd.
The expression on the faces of the two clans became more complicated. Smiles in the face of experts of the Demon Clan instantly solidified, as if they had slapped ruthlessly with the soles of their shoes. While feeling disappointed, the experts of the Human Clan turned to be astonished and found it hard to believe.
The Human Clan won?
Did Xie Jieyu win the battle?
Except for a few high-level Martial Sage superiors, many people could not accept this result. It was obviously Xie Jieyu who was injured, and there was a strong and unparalleled protective light shield around Princess Primordial. How could the result be reversed?
However, no one dared to doubt the words of the Supreme Master of the Demon Clan.
What was the mystery that had not been comprehended?
People looked at each other, waiting for someone to answer. Sadly, they looked at each other in dismay.
“The energy shield of Princess Tai Chu has actually been broken, but Xie Jieyu’s sword burst out from the sword box like a fairy light. It was too fast and too fierce. The whole process went smoothly, and then it was retracted in an instant. Almost no one caught it. In fact, Xie Jieyu held back just now. Otherwise, Princess Tai Chu would have been seriously injured at this time.”
Jin and the others suddenly understood it.
“So that’s what it was.”
“Humph! Nonsense!” Although the tall and thin disciple in black from the Purple Spirit Sect had somewhat believed it, he still provoked him disdainfully. “How can you see through a battle of the Saint level? You’re a liar. You’re just talking in a pretense. I don’t believe your words.”
These words made some people feel confused again.
Ding Hao did not try to defend himself.
Because it was not necessary.
Seeing Ding Hao remain silent, the tall and thin young man in black finally felt a little more relieved. He thought that Ding Hao had a guilty conscience after being debunked, so he smiled provocatively and said, “You should be modest. Don’t pretend to be a wolf as if you know everything. I’ve seen too many liars like you…”
Before he had finished his words, a tender young voice of a little boy suddenly sounded. “Daddy, why are you hiding here?”
Two kids of two or three years old rushed out of the crowd. The one who was speaking was a lovely and white little girl, as delicate as a porcelain doll. She was extremely cute, wearing a white skirt of excellent quality. At first glance, one could tell that she was born into a noble family. Behind the little girl was a fat boy with an air of charming naivety. His flesh made him a snowball, revealing a unique touch of milk.
“Uh, why are you here?” Ding Hao did not expect that these two little kids would join the crowd and find him.
Ren Woxing said in an innocent tone, “Master, we are here to back you up. Your wife said that if you win the third round of Life-and-Death Arena, she will give you a surprise tonight.”
These words were so ambiguous and embarrassing that Ding Hao wished he could shut the boy up right away.
However, the people around him did not laugh.
Because they all heard the words of Ren Woxing and caught an extremely crucial piece of information: the young man in cyan would fight in the third round of Life-and-Death Arena. That was to say, he should at least be at the same level as Zhang Fan, the Mad Saber, and Xie Jieyu the Phoenix.
Oh…
Some people on the spot took a deep breath, utterly shocked.
Ding Hao bent down and held the two kids in his arms. He knew that with the appearance of them, it would be impossible for him to hide in the crowd and watch the battle. He turned around and left. After a few steps, he seemed to have remembered something, turning back to Jin and said, “By the way, brother, your qualification is good and you are being chivalrous. Since you don’t belong to any sect, why don’t you join the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect?”
To be honest, Ding Hao’s impression of Jin was very good and he wanted to cultivate him.
Jin did not respond for a moment. “What?”
“You can find me in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.” Ding Hao turned around and left with a smile.
“You? Are you also from the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect? Brother… Master, what’s your name?” Jin startled.
“Ding Hao.”
Before he finished his words, people felt Ding Hao instantly disappeared before their eyes.
“Oh, your name is Ding Hao…” Jin said subconsciously. Suddenly, he realized something and was completely stunned on the spot as if struck by the lightning.
Ding Hao?!
How could he be Ding Hao?
“Ding Hao, the Saber and Sword Addict?”
Jin was petrified at the sight of this sudden scene.
All the warriors of the Human Clan around him were also stunned.
Next to Jin, the tall and thin disciple in black from the Purple Spirit Sect was frightened out of wits. He only felt that his body was numb, and he felt suffocated. “Oh my god, I have said so much to slander the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, and I have tried to provoke him to his face…”
