Chapter 1121 Lesson One
In the next moment, a light flashed.
Ding Hao showed up in front of the main hall.
The eyes of the teenagers instantly turned so eager that they were almost crazy. Everyone bit their lips tightly to prevent themselves from roaring.
“Saber and Sword Addict!
“The chief of the Northern Region Martial Arts Alliance is now right in front of us!”
It was the first time everyone could see Ding Hao at such a close distance. Just this meeting was enough to make these blood-racing teenagers so excited that they could not sleep for several days and could brag to their companions.
“I wonder what kind of martial arts Senior Ding will teach us?”
“Great Martial Uncle Ding is known as the Incredible Saber and Sword. Will he teach us saber techniques and sword techniques?”
“Haha, I wonder if there will be any ceremony of apprenticeship.”
The youths fantasized in their hearts.
On the stage.
Ding Hao glanced at the crowd and glanced at everyone’s expressions. He nodded with satisfaction and did not speak. He waved his hand, and a powerful force gushed out and enveloped the teenagers. Before the crowd could react, everything in front of them began to change as if they were traveling through time and space. Everything in sight was white as if they were falling into clouds.
…
“What…”
“Where are we?”
When their vision returned to normal, the teenagers were surprised to find that they were all in the sky. Looking down, they could clearly see the mountains and rivers below. The strong wind was whistling around them, but it was blocked by a soft force a hundred meters away from them. It was as if they were riding on clouds and mist.
Among those teenagers, except for dozens of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect disciples who had reached the Primordial Realm, no one else had ever jumped into the void. For a time, they were both excited and nervous, but all of them looked tense because they didn’t want others to see their cowardice. Of course, the most important thing was that they hadn’t understood Ding Hao’s intention and didn’t dare to make noise.
Ding Hao was right in front of them at this time.
He was dressed in cyan clothes and had thick black hair. Standing with his hands clasped behind his back, he really looked like an immortal from a legend.
And beside Ding Hao stood three other figures, which were Xie Jieyu the Martial Demigoddess, Fang Tianyi the Three Thousand Swords, and Zhang Fan the Mad Saber. Zhang Fan was accompanied by his new disciple, Zhou Fan.
The teenagers did not know where Ding Hao was going to take them.
Right at this moment, a wave of battle cries that shook the heavens resounded.
Looking down, the teenagers saw a battle taking place on the vast grassland below around a city. Flames shot up to the sky, and all kinds of energy fluctuations shook the surroundings. The city did not look small, which could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. It was on the verge of collapse under the protection of an earthen yellow shield. The composition of the siege forces was rather complicated. Most of them were from the Human Clan, but there were faint Demon Auras rolling within. Some of them were from the Demon Clan.
“That’s… the power of the River Palace!” A disciple with sharp eyes recognized one of the forces below.
Only then did the crowd understand that they were no longer in Snow Province, but in another province.
The sphere of influence of the River Palace was millions of miles away from that of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. The two forces were now incompatible. When the battle of the Blue Cloud Sect took place, the River Palace and the Hidden Fragrance Peak, the two top Human Clan forces in the Northern Region, did not participate in the battle. It was said that they had already surrendered to the invaders from the Land of Divine Grace. After the battle of the Blue Cloud Sect, the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was still powerful, but the River Palace restrained itself a lot. It tried not to fight against the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect as much as possible, but it had never given up its ambition. It took advantage of the current troubled world to plunder everywhere.
“It’s time to settle the grudges between us and the River Palace.”
Ding Hao’s voice rang out in the teenagers’ ears.
After they were stunned for a while, their blood raced. It turned out that Ding Hao brought them here to let them witness this once-in-a-lifetime battle. If so, what awaited them would undoubtedly be a legendary battle, and they would become witnesses.
Ding Hao slowly said, “Now that the Northern Region is in chaos, the war between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan is no longer the source. The real ones who cause chaos are those cold-blooded and ambitious people. After many people master the power, their ambitions will grow. It’s just like when a beggar on the roadside has a knife in his hand, he may kill and rob. An unknown martial artist may also have wishful thinking and want to rule the martial arts world as his strength rises sharply in a day.”
He did not turn around, but his words were obviously directed at the two hundred nominal disciples behind him.
Every teenager stood straight and listened to Ding Hao’s lecture quietly.
“You are all the people I have chosen. After you achieve great success in learning Tao, you will definitely be able to dominate a region. In the future, you won’t be satisfied by only staying in the Northern Region.” Ding Hao’s voice was full of aggressiveness and confidence. Hearing that, the teenagers were all excited. They continued to listen to him. “In the future, when you master the power of the strong, I hope that after you become powerful, you will not be like these people below, who have their egos boosted and trample on others’ dignity, life, and feelings at will.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Hao pointed out with one finger.
A streak of silver sword radiance shot out like lightning and pierced through the sky and the earth.
“Who is it?” a peak-staged Martial Sage expert from the River Palace exclaimed, noticing that something was wrong.
However, before he could react, the sword radiance flashed, and the expert turned into an ice sculpture. His body exploded and shattered between heaven and earth.
“My Lord…”
“What…”
Other masters of the same level from the River Palace were shocked when they saw this scene. However, the next moment, the same thing happened to them. Wherever the sword radiance passed, it was as if Death had arrived. No matter what kind of masters they were, they turned into ice sculptures and then exploded.
Between heaven and earth, a chill suddenly broke out.
There was a burst of exclamation from below, and ice shards splashed everywhere.
The masters of the River Palace who were attacking the city were killed in an instant like lambs to be slaughtered. They were frozen into ice sculptures. Those masters of the Demon Clan and demonic beasts who were mixed in the crowd were also killed by the sword radiance at the same time. It was just a streak of sword radiance. Wherever it passed, no one could resist it at all. The bloodthirsty forces who originally had the upper hand instantly dispersed and turned to escape.
The silver sword radiance seemed to have intelligence. It shuttled back and forth between heaven and earth, specially picking out those masters who were struggling and whose hands were covered with blood to kill them.
This completely broke down the morale and confidence of the siege.
The silver sword radiance was too terrifying. Both Semi God Realm Masters and Primordial Realm Masters were like weeds on the roadside in front of it. There was no difference between them. In an instant, they turned into ice shards all over the sky. No matter whether they were powerful or not, it was the same ending for them.
When the humans besieged in the city found that they could no longer defend the city and that what awaited them was only a massacre, many people were in despair. Countless ones began to cry and panic. Everyone knew how cruel and ruthless the River Palace would be after the city was captured, but they did not expect that a savior would suddenly appear at this time.
Before many people could react to what had happened, they saw the enemy troops outside the city suddenly screaming and roaring crazily, and the leaders of the enemy troops instantly fell.
“What happened?”
“Could it be that there’s an expert helping us?”
They simply couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
It was not until an hour later that someone dared to walk out of the city, only to see ice shards, broken bodies, and frozen martial artists of the River Palace all over the ground. The guardians were a little confused, not knowing who had suddenly taken action to save them.
At the same time, Ding Hao and the others had come to the sky above a continuous mountain range.
In one of the valleys, there was surging Demon Aura, and the smell of blood and killing intent was all over the sky. Faint screams of creatures could be heard. It was like hell on earth, and the whole mountain range was filled with a pungent smell of blood.
“This is one of the hunting grounds of the Blood Wolf Demon Clan. Countless humans have been captured here and become food for the Blood Wolves. They have been kept in captivity, like pigs in a pigsty, waiting for these demons to slaughter them. This time, due to the invasion of the Divine Grace, the Northern Region was in chaos. The Blood Wolves plundered everywhere, killed humans, and wreaked havoc within a radius of hundreds of thousands of kilometers…”
Ding Hao said that to the teenagers behind him seriously.
After the previous siege, some people had already understood Ding Hao’s intention, and at this time, they even nodded.
Ding Hao said, “As martial artists, we learn martial arts in order to fight crimes and promote good deeds. We help the weak. We should do whatever it takes to achieve righteousness… We can’t control the weak at will just because we are strong. Just like these Blood Wolves, they think they are domineering and slaughter other creatures, but they don’t know that they are also extremely weak in the eyes of the real strong. The Heaven Path wouldn’t tolerate them and they should be destroyed!”
Before he had finished his words, Ding Hao stretched out his hand in the void and pressed it.
A huge palmprint appeared out of thin air. Like the hand of a Devil, it slowly rolled down toward the valley below, which was full of blood and killing intent.
“Who dares to attack our Blood Wolf Valley?”
“Who is it?”
“How dare you!”
Roars of anger came from the Blood Wolf Valley.
However, in the face of Ding Hao’s giant palmprint, no matter how powerful the Demon Clan experts were, they were shattered into pieces the moment they soared into the sky. The giant palmprint covered the valley in a crushing manner. In the blink of an eye, the entire valley was smashed by this palm strike. The bloody valley disappeared and was replaced by a huge palm print-shaped hollow.
This evil force of the Demon Clan, which had been wreaking havoc in the surrounding areas for many years, was easily wiped out from the world by Ding Hao with a single palm strike.
The teenagers didn’t know how to express the shock they felt.
They were at an age when it was easy for them to worship the strong. If all kinds of legends about Ding Hao made the teenagers subconsciously become his supporters out of worship for the strong, then the continuous two battles they had just experienced made them really understand what strength meant and how powerful Ding Hao was.
This was a kind of strength that exceeded their expectations, and it gave them a great visual shock.
“What I taught you just now is my principles and beliefs as a martial artist. Next, let’s go to the River Palace.” Ding Hao’s voice was still otherworldly as he said, “I will tell you another martial arts law. When you really decide to do something, you must remember that you need to remove the source of the trouble. The cause of chaos within a radius of a million miles is the River Palace. The two clans will never be in peace as long as that force remains.”
