Ding Hao sighed.
“I never expected that I could see such a supreme weapon. It seems that I have to use the last method…”
He didn’t want to use the method at first, because it was too precious. He wouldn’t use it unless there was no other way. But now…
Still, a sudden change took place in the next moment—
Just when Ding Hao was about to use his last method, something strange happened.
Unexpectedly, the flame sword that was shot at Ding Hao made a sudden turn.
Before anyone could react, it was like a red lightning, sinking into the Demonic Bear Emperor’s ribs from the side.
In the next moment, a terrible power was instantly ignited.
The terrifying flame strength that had suddenly erupted blew up more than half of the enormous bear demon, whose body was as hard as steel. His bones, flesh and blood splattered everywhere. The red flame, which could be seen with naked eyes, was able to swallow everything, and it frantically entered his body…
“Ah, damn b*tch!”
The Demonic Bear Emperor roared angrily.
He had never expected such a change, and he was severely injured in an instant.
It would be difficult for him to maintain the Sky-Devouring Magic Gourd any longer.
The originally stable purple liquid coming out of the gourd’s mouth suddenly became chaotic. Some of the liquid was scattered in all directions, and most of it returned to the Sky-Devouring Magic Gourd like a whale sucking water.
The Sky-Devouring Magic Gourd was originally inclined to pour down the liquid, but it began to slowly tilt back into its original position. It was no longer as active as before, and it no longer rotated. The strange phenomenon of the devil moon hanging high above and the ivy on the stone cliff disappeared instantly, like an inverted reflection in the water.
“Ah…!” At the same time, the Demon Royal with Evil Heart screamed.
The Sky-Devouring Magic Gourd was the Demonic Bear Emperor’s supreme treasure. It had been inherited for tens of thousands of years, so it could be connected to the giant bear through bloodline. Only he could barely control it. Therefore, when they cooperated, he was the main force controlling Sky-Devouring Magic Gourd, while the Demon Royal with Evil Heart only gave support to ensure that there was enough power to drive the supreme weapon.
The Bear Demon Royal had finally lost control of the Sky-devouring Magic Gourd since he was seriously injured.
Its power suddenly became chaotic.
The Demon Royal with Evil Heart was the closest and the first to be affected by the terrifying supreme strength.
A purple light flashed, and more than half of the Demon Royal with Evil Heart’s body was instantly blown up into pieces, vanishing into nothingness.
Ding Hao overcame his shock and immediately reacted.
Although Ding Hao did not know why the coquettish and strange woman helped him, obviously, he wouldn’t question these things at that critical moment. He immediately tried his best to summon the rusted sword’s strength. Ding Hao made his move before the final rust flakes returned to the sword and the supreme aura inside the blade disappeared completely.
A white splendor flashed.
The heads of the Demonic Bear Emperor and the Demon Royal with Evil Heart rose into the sky.
Blood gushed out like two fountains.
Ding Hao landed.
The last flake of rust spot returned to the sword.
The long sword in his hand turned back into a fire stick, mottled and messy, as if it would break at any time. Such a sword, not even beggars would look at it if they saw it on the roadside.
Two rays of black and white lights escaped from the torn bodies of the Demonic Bear Emperor and the Demon Royal with Evil Heart.
They were the demon royals’ souls.
“Meow…” At the critical moment, the coveting Evil Moon appeared all of a sudden.
How could a born glutton let go of such an opportunity?
With a slight movement of the small white wings, Evil Moon turned into a white flowing light and made a turn. He snatched the two light balls with his mouth. The two demon royals panicked and pleaded, but the cat chewed hard with his little protruding canines and unceremoniously swallowed the two extremely pure and original powers of the Demon Clan.
The devil cat licked his mouth with his pink and tender tongue and carefully washed his face. Then he said with satisfaction, “What a stupid demon clan, wanting to escape right in front of me. You really think too highly of yourselves!”
Ding Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, the Sky-Devouring Magic Gourd lost the activation power of the two great demon royals. The supreme power of the demon gods contained within gradually disappeared and returned to a dormant state. The gourd, which was several meters tall, shrunk to the size of a palm. The green light also disappeared; the gourd became dim and fell from the sky!
An idea came to Ding Hao’s mind and he waved his hand.
A mighty force gushed out toward the sky and caught hold of the Sky-Devouring Magic Gourd.
It was an extraordinary treasure which contained the supreme aura of the Demon Clan. The purple liquid was like the magic demon’s blood, which was extremely terrible. Only a trace could smash the Demon Royal with Evil Heart’s body into pieces. If it was all released, it could simply destroy the world. If Ding Hao could harness this power, it would be no less than having the help from a warrior at the demon god realm.
In the distance.
The red-haired and coquettish beauty crossed her arms in front of her chest, squeezing a pair of tall and straight meat balls into a shape that made people feel lustful. She looked at Ding Hao with a smile, showing no intention to compete with Ding Hao for the Sky-Devouring Devil Gourd.
A teasing hint showed up in her eyes.
“Boom!”
Just as the Sky-Devouring Magic Gourd was about to fall into Ding Hao’s hands, a green flame suddenly flashed on the faded gourd. It shook slightly, as if a sleeping deity had opened its eyes. It easily got rid of Ding Hao’s control, then flashed into the void. It directly broke space open and disappeared!
Ding Hao was stunned.
Moments later, he realized that he had been a little greedy.
Treasures had spirits, not to mention a divine object that was above precious weapons.
Such a precious artifact had already bred its own soul god within. With wisdom and no secret technique to control it, nobody could seize it. Even if its holder died, it would return to the land of its ancestors as soon as possible. The Sky-Devouring Demon Gourd broke through space and returned to the Demonic Bear Emperor’s clan.
Finally, the dust settled.
It was time to take care of something else.
“Who are you? Why did you help me?” Ding Hao turned around and looked at the flirtatious woman with long red hair.
He was sure that he had never met her before.
There was no connection between them.
The alluring woman followed Lu Xianr, the Demonic Bear Emperor and the other masters to ambush and kill him on the seventh section of the ancient road. Since she could take part in such a thoughtful plan, she should have been a trusted accomplice. However, at the most critical moment, she incredibly helped him and killed the Demonic Bear Emperor, which was really puzzling.
“Hee hee, my little sweetheart, is the answer very important to you?” The woman had a teasing smile on her face.
“Of course it’s very important.” Ding Hao looked serious.
“Well then, I will tell you, my little sweetheart. You are so delicate and tender. Although I have 3,000 gigolos and have seen countless handsome men, I have never seen such a handsome guy like you. I, Su Xiaoxiao, am reluctant to kill such a delicious meal like you before I have a taste!” The flirtatious woman said with a smile.
Her beautiful eyes, full of charm, were almost dripping with water. Her glance and smile were quite enchanting.
She was definitely a seductive beauty.
Every part of her body exuded a seductive charm.
Her name turned out to be Su Xiaoxiao.
Ding Hao quickly recalled in his mind. It seemed that he had never heard of such a person.
However, she was tremendously powerful, with a horrifying strength that was obviously at the Primary Martial Royal Realm. Such a person would definitely not be unknown. There could only be one explanation. The woman had not set foot in Snow Province, so not many people would know of her.
“No matter the reason, thank you, young girl, for saving my life.”
Ding Hao’s divine sense was extremely strong. He was absentminded just for a moment, and then he came to his senses in an instant. He cupped his hands and thanked her.
“Girl? Hahahaha, girl? You are really interesting. Haha, it’s been a long time since someone called me that… Hee hee, little sweetheart. If you really want to thank me, you can accompany me…” Su Xiaoxiao was momentarily stunned, and then she laughed as if she had heard a good joke.
The woman exuded a mature charm from head to toe.
Her voice had a strange magic, which made people feel hot all over.
She walked slowly, flashing her charming eyes; her waist was soft, and her breasts rippled. She approached Ding Hao with a fragrant breeze. Her delicate hands, which were like freshly stripped shallots, reached out to Ding Hao’s cheeks.
Ding Hao frowned.
He stepped back two meters in a flash.
“Little honey, don’t be reserved. Let’s do it…” Xiaoxiao was very charming. Her fiery-red long hair was like a ball of burning flame, and she was like a deadly and beautiful rose. She instantly moved closer to Ding Hao and said in a soft and charming voice, “Don’t suppress yourself. I guess you haven’t played with women. Come on, let me tell you what the most intoxicating taste in the world is!”
“Miss Su…” Ding Hao blushed.
Although he had lived two centuries, he was just a little virgin who had countless love theories and no experience. He had never met such a situation, so he couldn’t stand it anymore. He flashed and retreated more than 20 meters away.
“Hee hee, little fellow, you are really cute. I will give you a little time since you’re not mentally prepared… Hey, your little lover has woken up. I still have some important matters to attend to. I’ll be leaving first…” The hot beauty flashed and disappeared from the spot.
From the depths of the cave came her soul-stirring voice once again—
“Haha, Ding Hao, I’ll remember you. Haha, sooner or later, you’ll be Su Xiaoxiao’s guest… Haha, my taste has changed. I suddenly have a thing for shy little boys like you!”
The fragrant wind lingered in the air.
The beauty disappeared.
Ding Hao breathed out a mouthful of murky breath, shaking his head.
The woman was a horrifying freak.
It was better to stay away from her in the future.
But he owed her a favor.
The previously unstable cave regained its calm.
The surroundings were a mess. All the stalactites had been knocked down and the ground was cracked.
The place would have been reduced to ashes, if not for the fact that it had evolved from residual rules of law from ancient times. Even so, there were more and more purple vortexes in the surrounding space, which meant that the ancient road had begun to become extremely unstable. It would probably collapse and disappear soon!
Ding Hao went to the place where he was previously hiding.
Ji Yingqi had already woken up.
The young girl was still extremely weak, but she displayed an extremely terrifying calmness.
She didn’t cry or make any noises. Not even a trace of expression was shown on her delicate face. When she heard the footsteps, she looked up and saw Ding Hao. There was a glimmer of expectation and softness in the depths of her eyes. She quietly asked, “Brother Ding, is my brother already…”
Ding Hao didn’t know what to say, so he gently nodded.
“Oh…” The young lady let out a long sigh, as if she had heard something very common. After being stupefied for a long while, she calmly asked, “Where is my brother’s corpse? I want to bury him!”
Ding Hao removed the inscription formation that was protecting the little girl and helped her to reach the place where Ji Yingnan had died.
Before the battle, Ding Hao had consciously protected the place. The place was not affected, thanks to the inscription’s protection. Ji Yingnan’s body had been chopped into hundreds of pieces. The king-level Nine Emperor’s Heart-Protecting Bamboo Shoots were soaked in Ji Yingnan’s blood and it was also cut into pieces. Ji Yingnan couldn’t be identified and it was extremely miserable.
Ding Hao didn’t want to let Ji Yingqi see such a scene because he was afraid that it would leave a shadow in her heart.
However, the little girl insisted that she wanted to bury her brother by herself. Ding Hao failed to dissuade her, so he allowed her to do as she pleased.
She placed his brother’s flesh into a sunken pit that was more than one meter deep. Then she moved some stones to cover it, piling them up into the shape of a grave. Gravel had cut the girl’s fingers. With Ding Hao’s help, she placed a one-meter-high stone tablet in front of the grave. She wrote in the tablet with her own blood—
“The one sleeping here is a filial son, a perfect brother, and a family heir who will never fail…”
After Ji Yingqi wrote the last word, clear teardrops fell from her eyes.
“Brother, please have a good rest. Having a heavy burden on your shoulders for so many years, you must be very tired, right? You can finally sleep quietly from now on. You don’t have to worry about me, your little burden, anymore. Don’t worry, I will live well according to your expectations, taking responsibility for the Ji family in Jade Province. When your little burden grows up, I will make the Ji family rise again. All the people who used to laugh at you and embarrass you… I will make them pay the price for what they did!”
The girl wiped away the tears on her face and her expression became strong again.
“Brother Ding, thank you for avenging my brother!”
“That’s what I should have done. They came for me. I’m the one who got you into trouble.”
“All of this was arranged by the God of Fate… Brother Ding, I’m fine; you don’t have to worry about me. Let’s go, I promised my brother that I would live well. Now I have the Nine Emperor’s Heart-Protecting Bamboo Shoots, please help me refine them into a magic pill,” the little girl said calmly.
And after that, Ding Hao never saw that girl cry again.
Since then, the name of the Jade Rakshasa would begin to rise up in Jade Province and even in the entire Northern Region. Although she had never practiced martial arts, her name brought fear to countless people and no one dared to challenge her.
After the burial, Ji Yingqi’s weak body could no longer take it.
She lay on Ding Hao’s back and fell into a deep sleep.
The last teardrop still lingered on her beautiful long eyelashes.
However, her thin shoulders had started to bear the last hope of her once glorious family had.
