Supreme Emperor of Swords-Chapter 1265 - The Disturbance Is Settled

Chapter 70 The Disturbance Is Settled
The Nine Spirits City was in a deadlock for a while.

The Dark Lotuses in the bodies of Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai had stopped absorbing Qi, and their bodies, which had grown strong like balloons, had also stopped expanding.

“Hey, boy, do you regret what you did now? Let me tell you, even if you kneel and beg me now, you can’t stop the Dark Lotuses from bombarding this place!” Xing Mo sneered.

At this moment, Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai were so swollen that they no longer looked human. Their entire bodies had grown to a height of around 25 meters, and their original arms had been squeezed to the point where they could no longer be seen. The parts below their necks were like huge balloons.

“Ants like you can struggle slowly. It’s too late to fear now. Speaking of which, if you had known earlier and handed over the entire power of the Nine Spirits Tribe, how could we have made such an unwise decision? Well, it’s useless to talk about it now…”

The Dark Lotuses were extremely powerful, so Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai would naturally be the first to bear the brunt. At that time, even if they were at the middle stage of the Eternal Realm, they would perish with the people of the Nine Spirits Tribe. What they wanted before was only the territory and population of the Nine Spirits Tribe, so they didn’t use the Dark Lotuses. But now, they didn’t have time to care about their targets.

Evil Moon widened its eyes and then directly blamed Ding Hao. “Meow, you made such a big fuss. Do you have to do this… If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have provoked you. It’s all your fault, Ding Hao. If you hadn’t moved too slowly and had killed them quickly, they wouldn’t have had time to make these things. Now, it’ll take some effort to settle this. Human Pet, kill them right away…”

Ding Hao felt helpless.

Many people began to panic.

But they also knew that if what Xing Mo said was true, no matter how fast they fled from here, they would not be able to get out of danger.

The members of the Nine Spirits Tribe, who were originally overjoyed, suddenly fell into despair.

If this dark power broke out, it would be a disaster for the Spirit Region. Many people had even begun to imagine the scene where the dark power would break out later.

Rong Zun and Rong Zhan were so angry that their veins bulged. They cursed at Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai. Just now, when they saw Ding Hao’s divine power, they felt that there was hope for the Nine Spirits Tribe to rise again. However, their hope was now extinguished.

Time passed little by little, and the atmosphere became tenser and tenser. The people of the Nine Spirits Tribe got incredibly nervous. No one knew when the explosion would occur. It might happen in the next moment. They were all thinking about this problem.

As for Ding Hao, he had been silent since Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai suddenly launched the attack. He stood there, looking extremely calm, as if he had not heard their words at all. He was not worried that he would be killed by the explosion of the Dark Lotuses in the next moment.

Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai, whose eyes were squeezed like beans, were stunned when they saw Ding Hao’s expression. Then, they thought that Ding Hao was scared out of his wits. Otherwise, he would not appear to be so emotionless.

“Time’s up. All of you shall die with us…”

Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai’s expressions changed at the same time. It seemed that they were enduring enormous pain. The remaining halves of their bodies were dripping with sweat. Along with the frightened gazes of the crowd, a crack suddenly appeared on their dantian below their stomachs.

Faintly, two lotus flowers that were pitch-black like ink and emitting black gaseous substance could be seen in their stomachs.

Black energy swept out from the lotus flowers, and it seemed like countless ferocious evil spirits were struggling and roaring incessantly within it, causing one’s scalp to go numb.

The next moment, black light burst out.

A gust of extremely terrifying dark power spread out, causing the void to shake and the ground to tremble.

The remnants of the ruins below turned into ashes and dust, spinning and rising straight up.

“It’s the explosion!

“The Dark Lotuses are about to erupt! “The Spirit Region is about to be destroyed! “I’m going to die too!”

These thoughts appeared in everyone’s minds at the same time, including Rong Zun and Rong Zhan.

The eyes of the crowd in the distance were wide open as they stared at the two beams of bright light. It seemed that the light had turned into two horrible beasts that were about to devour the entire Spirit Region, including everyone at the scene.

“Hahaha, you’ll die with us!”

“We’re doomed!

“A world-destroying calamity is about to arrive!”

Just when everyone was thinking so, no one noticed that Ding Hao suddenly took a step forward, raised his right hand, and gently clenched it in the void.

The dark power that coiled around Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai and was on the verge of erupting actually seemed to have been terrified. It suddenly shrunk and didn’t move.

While everyone was shocked, Ding Hao pulled again in the void. The dark power, like a shy girl, slowly moved toward his palm.

“What’s going on?”

Everyone was shocked, but no one was more shocked than Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai.

“No! How could he imprison the dark power? That’s impossible. Didn’t that lord say that no one in this world could resist the Dark Lotuses?” Pei Qi’ai couldn’t help exclaiming.

“That lord?” Hearing this, Ding Hao frowned slightly and vaguely guessed something, but he did not stop. Then, he suddenly clenched his hand, and all the dark power around Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai was pulled into his hand.

At the moment, fire was burning in Ding Hao’s hand. The two shrunken dark lotuses were floating on his palm, blooming, which looked enchanting.

After Ding Hao focused his eyes, the dark power finally turned into a ball of black flame and disappeared.

As the dark power faded away, the two’s bodies returned to normal, once again becoming the upper halves of their bodies.

The Dark Lotuses mentioned by Xing Mo, which had terrifying power after being activated, had been extracted by Ding Hao just like that.

“The battle has ended!

“This earth-shattering battle that determines our fate has ended just like that?!”

The entire scene was deathly silent.

The people of the Nine Spirits Tribe were stunned and could not react for the time being. Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai were even more stunned, their faces full of disbelief.

“Meow. I told you not to make such a big fuss, but you didn’t listen. You should’ve listened to me. My Human Pet is very powerful. Of course, he’s still a little bit weaker than me.” However, Evil Moon was not surprised at all, as if it had already known what would happen.

After Ding Hao sealed the dantian of Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai, he flipped his hand over. Two light-shaped chains, like pythons, swam and circled around and locked them up.

Ding Hao turned back to look at Rong Zun and smiled. “Patriarch Rong, I’ll leave these two to you!” As he spoke, he grabbed the ends of the chains with his right hand and pulled them slightly. The two’s bodies floated in front of Rong Zun.

When Ding Hao made this move, the people of the Nine Spirits Tribe came to their senses. Rong Zun gasped for breath, looked at Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai, and then ordered the imperial army behind him. “Guards, put these two people and my unfilial son, Rong Si, in the Sky-reaching Dungeons.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

More than a dozen imperial guards at the front immediately took the three people with deadly pale faces away.

So far, the two great masters of the Evil Yang Tribe had been captured, and the Third Prince had also become a prisoner.

The battle finally came to an end.

…

That night, in order to repay Ding Hao and celebrate their victory, the Nine Spirits Tribe held a big banquet. Everyone in the tribe was very happy and excited. It was a grand occasion of celebration. The whole Nine Spirits City was full of excitement.

Although a lot of heroes and some innocent tribesmen had died in this battle, which made some people of the Nine Spirits Tribe feel depressed, the foundation of the Nine Spirits Tribe was kept. They believed that their deceased friends and families would be gratified.

That night was destined to be a happy night.

The Demon King, Evil Moon, who had been following Ding Hao all day long and talked a lot, was also very excited that night. It was drinking fine wine and eating delicious food to its heart’s content.

Evil Moon said, “I came here with my Human Pet and did so much here. Therefore, I deserve to eat a lot. Otherwise, I’ll suffer a loss. What’s more, if it weren’t for me and Ding Hao, the Nine Spirits Tribe would have been destroyed. How could you hold a banquet at this moment? What are you looking at? What’s wrong with me eating these dishes? Do you have a problem with it…”

Evil Moon was like an annoying child at this banquet, constantly showing off its glorious deeds, but whether these deeds were related to it or not was uncertain.

The Nine Spirits Tribe escaped the disaster, and Ding Hao became the savior of the Spirit Region.

The higher-ups of the Nine Spirits Tribe were all grateful to Ding Hao. They toasted him one after another to express their gratitude. Among them, there was naturally Crown Prince Rong Fu, the Patriarch of the Nine Spirits Tribe, Rong Zun, and the Emperor Emeritus, Rong Zhan.

The injuries of the latter two were still very serious, and their faces were pale. The toxins in Rong Zun’s body had not been removed, but the two insisted on attending this banquet. They did not want to neglect Ding Hao, their savior.

After toasting them, Ding Hao also helped the Patriarch remove the Dark Poison in his body.

Ding Hao had dealt with the Dark Poison before, so it was easy for him to help Rong Zun get rid of it. In addition, Rong Zun had powerful cultivation, so it was not a problem for him to fully recover.

After being troubled for so many years, Rong Zun finally found out that he had been poisoned. When he saw the Dark Poison gradually absorbed by Ding Hao in a magical way, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief and be overjoyed.

With the help of Ding Hao, Rong Zun, who had reached the Eternal Realm, soon recovered his spirit. He was in a much better state than before.

All the tribesmen of the Nine Spirits Tribe exclaimed with shock, sighed with emotion, and cheered endlessly when they saw this.

They thought that Ding Hao was simply amazing. He deserved to be a peerless master at the advanced level of the Eternal Realm. His every move was so amazing.

Hearing their exclamation, Evil Moon became more and more arrogant. It couldn’t help being conceited again. It raised its head and said proudly, “Well, he is my Human Pet. You have seen his power, haven’t you? But you can’t worship him blindly. After all, he’s just my Human Pet, and you should rather worship me. I’m very powerful. Hey, did you hear what I said? Hey…”

After one night, the banquet ended.

The next day, the Patriarch of the Nine Spirits Tribe and other experts invited Ding Hao to a secret meeting. No one knew about it except for the high-level officials of the Nine Spirits Tribe. Evil Moon had the honor to attend this meeting due to its relationship with Ding Hao.
