Ding Busi had always regarded himself as forthright and sincere, acting like an ancient chivalrous hero. He also tended to look down on those condescending geniuses who thought highly of themselves. However, he would feel he was humbled when faced with people like Shi Yihuang, who ended his life in tragedy but still shone with a dazzling brilliance that made people dare not despise him.
“You’re really something, my third elder brother. I didn’t expect that I would fail to fool you with such a comprehensive plan.” The Tenth Divine Prince gradually calmed down on the warship at the opposite side. He didn’t feel much about the death of Shi Yihuang. While keeping the army on guard, he smiled and said, “It’s just that it’s too late for you to see through it now, isn’t it?”
The Third Divine Prince looked up with sharp eyes and sneered. “Is it?”
The Tenth Divine Prince laughed loudly and said, “My third elder brother, you are just pretending to be confused. Although Shi Yihuang is fake, it is an unquestionable fact that you colluded with the rebels to fight against the God Emperor, and now your men have all been drawn to here. There was a tight ambush set up by the God’s Palace around the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It is impossible for you to escape. Even if you have found out that Shi Yihuang is fake, for now, you still fall into our trap.”
The Third Divine Prince said slowly with a mocking smile, “Tenth younger brother, do you know how our big brother said about you back then?”
The Tenth Divine Prince’s expression changed. He pretended to be calm and said, “Oh, I’m curious. Tell me about it.”
“He said, ‘My tenth younger brother is an ambitious but incompetent person of narrow vision and weak will, eager for quick success and instant benefits. So he can be a general, but not a commander.’” The Third Divine Prince continued slowly, “Do you think he didn’t know about your little tricks at that time? He had always been lenient with you and went easy on you just because you’re his younger brother. Even when you led the western expedition, he still wrote many letters to our father to take credit for you. But you… haha, I didn’t expect that you still haven’t made any progress after all these years. No, it’s more like that you are getting more foolish.”
“Shut up.” The Tenth Divine Prince was furious. “If Ding Shengtan is so wise, how come he is a criminal wanted by the God’s Palace and is fleeing everywhere now, while I am a Divine Prince with great power? And how come you have been sitting ducks with no way out and are at the mercy of me?”
“At the mercy of you?” The Third Divine Prince shook his head and said sarcastically, “Do you really understand who the prey is here?”
The Tenth Divine Prince was shocked. “What… what do you mean?”
A faint smile appeared on The Third Divine Prince’s face and he said, “You used to follow our eldest brother, and you should know his way of handling affairs.”
Suddenly, the Tenth Divine Prince’s face was filled with irrepressible shock.
Admittedly, he had followed the Eldest Divine Prince to witness countless things. His eldest brother was simply an omniscient freak since he did everything flawlessly and possessed incredible capabilities such as predicting the enemy’s strategies with his keen insight. When he led the troops to fight, he had never been defeated by the Western Feather Clan, the Northern Beast Clan, or the Southern Sea Clan. He was known as a victorious commander-in-chief all over the world. On the battlefield, he could always think further and take action more thoughtfully than the enemy. Almost no one could hide any conspiracy or trick from him.
At that time, the Eldest Divine Prince was simply almighty.
Back then, if he hadn’t been so kind that he trusted his brothers too much and lacked vigilance, he wouldn’t have been trapped by the Eighth Divine Prince and the 13th Divine Prince, which caused him to lose his children and suffer from a disorder of the mind. If it hadn’t been for the sudden attack by the God Emperor at that time, he wouldn’t have gotten into such a mess now.
Thinking of the Eldest Divine Prince at that time, the Tenth Divine Prince often felt awe from the bottom of his soul.
Could it be that today’s trap was also designed by the Eldest Divine Prince…
The Tenth Divine Prince suddenly felt that even if he was protected by dozens of God Realm Masters and the Black Armored Army, he was not safe now.
“Tenth younger brother, after all, you are just a disgraceful guy. Don’t make a fool of yourself. Let him come out,” the Third Divine Prince said lightly, “and let me see what my good nephew has become after sixteen years.”
The Tenth Divine Prince’s eyes flashed with anger and his expression changed rapidly.
Facing so many members of the Black Armored Army, the major forces, masters, and experts, he felt that it was a blatant insult to be scolded as a disgraceful guy, which made him feel shameful and irate. He almost couldn’t suppress the anger in his heart, but when he thought of the Eldest Divine Prince’s ingenuity, his fear was also hardly restrained.
Right at this moment…
“Third Uncle, long time no see.”
A handsome young man slowly walked out from behind the Tenth Divine Prince with a warm smile on his face.
Everyone’s eyes were instantly focused on him.
The young man looked like he was just over twenty years old. He was slender and tall. His shirt was as black as ink, emitting a kind of strange aura, and his long eyebrows were like swords, stretching to his temples. As for his eyes, they were as bright as the stars in the night, and his nose was high and plump, and his face was in a perfect shape, as if God had given him all the best things in the world. He stood there quietly, like a free and easy immortal walking in the world.
As soon as this man appeared, even the Tenth Divine Prince was outshone by him.
Though as one of the people with real power in God’s Palace, the Tenth Divine Prince seemed to be very respectful to this young man, bowing slightly and quickly stepping aside.
Ding Ling, the Rage of Thunder, and Ding Sha, the Holy King Body, stood on both sides of the young man, looking extremely respectful.
“Third Uncle, why are you here with these rebellious men instead of enjoying your retirement in the Divine Capital? Do you also want to imitate that rebel, Ding Shengtan, and betray God’s Palace?” the young man said in a careless tone.
“If the Fake God Emperor doesn’t die, what’s the point of my retirement?” the Third Divine Prince smiled slightly and said in a tit-for-tat tone.
The young man’s face turned cold, and he suddenly shouted coldly, “Ding Xinghua, for the sake of our family affection, I call you Third Uncle. Don’t be ungrateful. My father has tolerated you enough all these years. Since you are stubborn and insist on following Ding Shengtan, then go to hell with him. No one can save you today.”
The Third Divine Prince laughed and said, “Come on, my good nephew, come and let me see to which extent you have integrated Hao’er’s holy blood in the past sixteen years.”
The young man shook his head. “Third Uncle, you’re not my match.”
He took a light step forward and came near to the Third Divine Prince and other people, and then he reached out his hand and said with a smile, “Come on, I’ll give you a chance to leave. You can attack me together, and if you can resist three moves of mine, I’ll let you go today.”
At this time, all the people around were in a daze upon hearing these words.
This young man who suddenly appeared was really arrogant.
As a God Realm Master, the Third Divine Prince could be regarded as one of the top martial artists on the continent. Ding Busan and Ding Busi were both rare young heroes in God’s Palace in the past few years. In addition, Wu Feng and the others were also the well-trained elites of the former Western Expedition Army. When they allied together, they were absolutely comparable to any top sect. How could this young man say that they were unable to resist three moves from him?
What on earth was his identity?
Some people keenly noticed that this young man had addressed the current God Emperor as his father. In other words…
He was the son of the current God Emperor?
Why hadn’t they heard that there was such a charming prince among the Divine Princes of the Eastern Continent?
However, in the crowd, Ding Hao’s fingers were clenched tightly in a fist.
It was him!
The moment the young man showed up, Ding Hao recognized him.
The young man was Ding Tong.
Before Ding Hao was born, Ding Tong was the former top genius in God’s Palace, who had the Seven Star-shaped Eyes of Fate and had been regarded as an unprecedented genius, possessing countless honors and affections as if he was the favorite of God.
In the tragedy sixteen years ago, Ding Tong conspired to take away his blood of the Divine Body.
All the turmoil in the Eastern Continent today was caused by this man.
The name “Ding Tong” was deeply buried in Ding Hao’s mind. He was the most powerful and terrifying opponent in Ding Hao’s imagination, even more terrifying than the current God Emperor of the God’s Palace. Before that, Ding Hao had wondered countless times what kind of occasion it would be when he saw Ding Tong again, but he had never thought that he would meet this old rival so soon.
How strong was Ding Tong now?
“The first move.”
Ding Tong’s eyes were calm, and he slowly slashed down with his palm.
It was as if there was no power at all.
However, a pitch-black and bottomless crack appeared on the ground in an instant, as if there were an invisible giant blade cutting everything that his hand pointed at. Along the way, the mountains were split into two parts, and even the void was split, rolling to both sides like huge waves. The invisible blade was pointing at the Third Divine Prince.
The Third Divine Prince’s face changed slightly.
He took a deep breath, and his whole body seemed to have swollen up. He placed his palms together, and with a gentle pull, a huge pale gold brush appeared in his hand. Then, he reached out his arms to hold the huge brush with his body flashing continuously. In the void, he drew golden lines, forming a huge mountain-like golden shield in front of him.
This was the condensation of his divine power.
Ding Xinghua’s magical power was all shown on the painting, and what he painted could create heaven and earth. Such a skill could be called unique and unprecedented.
The next moment…
Boom!
The entire void began to tremble.
The huge golden shield was almost shattered in an instant. Ding Xinghua seemed to have known what it would be like. At the moment when the golden shield broke, he met the coming attack with his golden brush. In an instant, waves of horrible energy fluctuations kept spreading in all directions like nuclear radiation. Ding Xinghua only resisted for less than three seconds and was directly knocked away…
Bang!
He crashed into the towering, blood-red peak behind him and immediately smashed it.
