Chapter 824 The Third Battle
“According to the description of the seniors in the sect, Ding Hao was a savage devil who didn’t like to take other people’s advice. Then why didn’t he kill me for my crazy provocations?”
An irresistible chill rose from the tailbone, blowing the minds of the disciple from the Purple Spirit Sect.
Seeing people around him in astonishment, he fled in disgrace.
Many people beside him were looking at Jin enviously.
Unexpectedly, this rogue cultivator with no power or influence had such good luck that he was favored by Ding Hao, the man of the day. He was chosen by Ding Hao and would be accepted into the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. If Jin joined the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, he would be valued by the sect. Even if he could not become a Martial Emperor in the future, at least he would be one of the top masters of martial arts in Snow Province.
“Why wasn’t I the lucky one?” Some people wondered.
After being shocked for seconds, Jin finally came to understand the meaning of Ding Hao’s words just now and was overjoyed. Thinking about what had happened since Ding Hao was here, Jin finally had the knowledge and intuitive understanding of Ding Hao, the Saber and Sword Addict, a legend of martial arts in Snow Province.
It turned out that the big shot that was said to be lofty and untouchable was also likely to be approached.
His idol had just appeared beside him like that.
For Jin, there wasn’t a slight hint of disappointment.
His idol Ding Hao was mightier and more valiant than he had imagined, and more perfect as well.
Jin even felt an aura on Ding Hao that hadn’t appeared on any masters of the Human Clan such as Bai Quanshui, the Extermination Swordsmanship Sect’s Monster, and Song Que, the Mean Villain. The indescribable sensation was like heavenly lights, giving him hope in life.
Today, for all the masters of the Human Clan, what happened here in less than two hours was something they could not forget for the rest of their life.
After the second battle of Life-and-Death Arena, the contest between the two clans had almost lost suspense.
The rule is two out of three in the Life-and-Death Arena, so the Human Clan had already won the final victory.
For the Demon Clan, the result by and large was already settled. Even if they win the last round, it would only save the last bit of the Demon Clan’s face.
What’s more, many people thought that the last battle was exactly the most difficult one for the Demon Clan to win.
Because Ding Hao the Saber and Sword Addict, who had rarely been defeated since his debut, would fight in the last battle on behalf of the Human Clan in Snow Province. Only the top masters of the Demon Clan and the Human Clan knew what the name “Saber and Sword Addict” meant. Especially three years after the battle of Qing River Town, Ding Hao’s strength had completely shocked the top forces of the two clans in the Northern Region.
When Ding Hao appeared in the golden arena in green robes, warriors of the Human Clan in Snow Province all screamed.
Ding Hao’s legend still had a deep impact on the warriors of the Snow Province three years later. It was fair to say that he had overturned the inferior position of martial arts of the Human Clan in Snow Province on his own. It was also in that precarious era that the martial arts of Snow Province fended off the invasion of the martial arts in the foreign provinces and defended the dignity of the Human Clan in Snow Province.
Moreover, in the past three years, the Seven Black Cut that Ding Hao passed down had almost become a compulsory combat skill for many moderate sects and countless rogue cultivators in the Snow Province. It also played an unimaginable role in the battle between the Human Clan and the Demon or the fierce beasts. Now the Seven Black Cut was more popular than any other combat skill. Ding Hao was also the first person in history to reveal the unique combat skill without reservation.
The Human Clan in Snow Province benefited enormously from Ding Hao’s generosity.
All of this made Ding Hao a saint reborn of the Human Clan in Snow Province, especially in the eyes of countless middle- and lower-class warriors. He was far more than a martial arts master.
The people of the Demon Clan were even shocked by the thunderous cheers and screams from the Human Clan at this moment.
Even when Princess Primordial, the first-placed fairy of the Demon Clan in the Northern Region showed up, the Demon Clan was not that crazy.
What kind of person could drive people of the Human Clan so insane?
Many of the top masters of the Demon Clan in the Northern Region were also gazing at the golden arena at the same time. Their expressions varied and their eyes were complex, giving no clue of what they were thinking about.
In the Demon God Palace’s camp in the distance, Princess Primordial, who had returned from the battle, was standing quietly in the main hall. She watched the golden arena from afar with strange lights danced in her eyes and whispered, “Is that Ding Hao?”
A cold voice sounded behind. “What? My beloved proud sister has fallen in love with a master of the Human Clan?”
With the heavy footsteps approaching, a tall and strong man walked slowly to her with a black shadow.
It was a young man of the Demon Clan with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His bronze skin was shining with a delicate luster under his eyes. He seemed to be a neighbor with a smile on his face. There was not a single trace of evil aura on him.
His long silver hair was like a silver waterfall pouring down from the Ninth Heaven as if telling people that he was unstoppable. On both sides of his forehead were a pair of black horns full of dark red patterns stabbing at the sky.
“If Ding Hao can beat you, what if I become his concubine?” Knowing who was behind her, Princess Primordial said indifferently without looking back.
“Hahahaha.” The young man of the Demon Clan laughed and said, “It has been such a long time since that happened. My dear sister, are you still taking it to heart?”
“I will never forget it,” Princess Primordial said word by word without looking back.
The young man said confidently, “Well, I’ll kill Ding Hao first. Your hope will be dashed.”
He was Prince Primeval, the representative of the Demon Clan in the third battle of Life-and-Death Arena. He was first in order of succession to the throne of the Demon God Palace, the holiest place of the Demon Clan in the Northern Region. He was also said to have the purest blood of Demon God in his veins.
In the Demon Clan of the Northern Region, his name weighed as much as a mountain.
Aside from the Demon God himself, almost no one in the entire Demon Clan of the Northern Region could counterbalance him.
He had done what he wanted to do.
He had also destroyed everything he didn’t want.
There was nothing that could go against his will.
Even when the entire Northern Region was trembling with fear because of Ding Hao’s performance, Prince Primeval never took this genius of the Human Clan seriously. His possessiveness only existed in his heart, not in his appearance. Everyone in the Demon Clan only had one chance to cultivate into human and chose the human appearance. Therefore, when it came to his turn, he chose an extremely ordinary appearance with thick eyebrows and big eyes instead of an extremely handsome one.
“I think the legend of the martial arts of the Human Clan is just a joke.” He laughed out loud.
But just when he was about to stand up and head for the golden arena, a majestic and indestructible power surged suddenly and suppressed his body, making him unable to move.
At the same time, a voice rang on the banks of Mirror Lake.
“The Demon Clan abstains in the third battle of Life-and-Death Arena.”
It was the voice of the Supreme Master of the Demon Clan.
As soon as he announced the news, the banks of Mirror Lake were in dead silence.
All creatures looked at each other in dismay, not daring to believe what they had just heard. The Demon Clan had abstained! The Demon Clan, which was known as the strongest clan in the Northern Region and had numerous Absolute Superiors, had abstained in the last battle!
Losing the battle would be even easier to accept than giving up.
The decision was a perverse kind of conceding defeat.
They didn’t even dare to fight.
Suddenly there was an uproar in the crowd of the Demon Clan. They were shocked and couldn’t believe that such words had come from the Supreme Master of the Demon Clan.
Even in the crowd where top masters of the Demon Clan gathered, many heads of the major sects and Demon Saints also stood up in astonishment, not understanding why the Supreme Master would have made such a decision.
“Abstain? Isn’t it just admitting defeat? How could that happen?”
“It’s just Ding Hao. Can’t we find anyone in the Demon Clan of the Northern Region to defeat him? It’s a shame to admit defeat in this way!”
“Who is going to fight in the third battle? He is too timid! He has made the Demon Clan suffer enough humiliation! He doesn’t deserve to be a demon!”
“Hum, we can’t abstain. Let me fight with Ding Hao!”
A master of the Demon Clan shouted, unwilling to take the humiliation. He jumped up and rushed toward the golden arena. Even if he were to die, he would fight in the last battle on behalf of the Demon Clan.
However, a formidable force flashed and pulled him back from behind.
No one could disobey the decision made by the Supreme Master. Even the Absolute Superiors at the Saint level could not challenge the Supreme Master’s dignity. Such behavior would instantly make the person die in most cases. Fortunately, the Supreme Master of the Demon Clan was not provoked today and did not kill anyone.
The aura as majestic as the sea swept through the Demon Clan’s camp.
The indignant masters of the Demon Clan screeched to a halt.
At the same time, in front of the main hall where the Demon God Palace was located…
“You… How dare you stop me?” Prince Primeval’s face turned red. He struggled with all his might but could not move even an inch. A streak of faint red light beamed on his body. The tremendous power on top of his head seemed to crush down with the weight of the whole world. Even Prince Primeval with formidable power could not move at all.
“You can’t fight in this battle,” the Supreme Master of the Demon Clan said.
“Why? Do you think I will be defeated by that guy of the Human Clan?” The Prince Primeval sneered and stopped struggling. However, his eyes were filled with burning flames of anger as if a volcano erupted.
He was acting as if he did not take the Supreme Master of the Demon Clan seriously at all.
