Chapter 526 - Self-Imprisoned
Chapter 526 Self-Imprisoned
Ding Hao had no time to think properly as he dodged again right away.
Because the giant sword burning with flames was not destroyed after failing to hit Ding Hao, even though its strength had decreased a lot, it still had the power to make a second attack. There was only a slight tremor in front of him, and then the sword instantaneously became a flashing light, turning to Ding Hao and making another attack.
At this time, the sword passed very close to Ding Hao.
In an instant, Ding Hao threw a backhand punch at the body of the flaming sword.
Letting out an awful scream, the giant sword went spinning away from him and knocked severely against the metal hill tens of meters high in the distance. The power smashed apart the whole metal hill as thousands of metal shards flew all over the sky, emitting a screech of metal friction like a cat clawing at glass. Ding Hao had to call on the Qi shield with all his strength to defend against the flying metal debris.
For a moment, everything became silent.
Ding Hao found the flaming sword under the collapsed metal hill.
After being attacked twice, the sword finally ran out of all its warlike spirit and became no longer powerful, like an ordinary soldier. Its brilliant red rays quickly faded, and then the sword became rusty and old, breaking into several pieces.
When Ding Hao looked at it again, the surrounding terrain had completely changed due to these two sudden terrifying attacks. The metal hill collapsed and became a deep crater.
Ding Hao was relieved.
At the same time, he was extremely cautious.
Those hills were more dangerous than he expected.
His worries had turned into reality.
In terms of the previous situation, he guessed there were warlike spirit weapons comparable to the power of the high-level Martial Emperor or even Martial Grand Emperor in the hills. Just a flaming giant sword of four-apertured Martial Emperor power put him in a terrible mess. If more rivals came at him, he might make a quick exit.
Thinking for a while, Ding Hao tried to connect the Saber Master and the Sword Master in his mind.
Unfortunately, there was no response, as the two old monsters seemed to be indulged in endless sleep.
Looking up at the rolling metal hills looming amidst the red storms, Ding Hao took a deep and slow breath. After thinking for a bit, he finally made up his mind, clenching the rusted sword and continuing to march ahead.
Once he encountered an unmatched the warlike spirit weapon again, he could only rely on the rusted sword to resolve the crisis.
Fortunately, there was no change before nightfall.
By midnight, the endless red storms finally stopped.
Layers of clouds slowly faded away, and the crimson moon appeared in the sky.
In the metal hills, the moon seemed to be more huge and round than it was on the plains. And it was very clear with richer crimson brilliance. Compared with the plains, the sharp and gold spirit here was richer by at least dozens of times. And even a thick smell of metal could be found in the air.
“Grrr…”
Evil Moon stood at the door of the tent, like a wolf growling.
He opened his mouth wide, vomiting the crimson brilliance in the air. A layer of looming red spirit was excluded from his snow-white fur.
“Squawk, squawk!” The dolphin, Adorable, also seemed to find something unusual.
She crouched down beside Evil Moon, opening her mouth and making a bubble one meter in diameter.
Under her control, the transparent bubble rolled back and forth in the air quickly, and soon became red after absorbing the crimson brilliance. Then she inhaled the bubble into her mouth, and when the bubble was spat out again, the crimson power was absorbed and the bubble became transparent again. Back and forth, she absorbed the crimson brilliance in this way.
After Ding Hao helped Ji Yingqi settle in, he began to practice again
As the six giant swords, such as the Moon-Cutting Sabre, were inserted into the debris of the broken sword, the inscriptions on the body of the swords absorbed the crimson brilliance.
Floating quietly beside Ding Hao, the rusted sword looked scornful of everything and ignored the crimson brilliance surrounding it.
Ding Hao performed the profound power of A World inside the Body and absorbed the crimson brilliance in the air at full speed.
Apparently, Ding Hao had the quickest absorption rate among all people.
The crimson brilliance was like a long whale absorbing water, forming a huge red cyclone. Just like a funnel cloud, the cyclone enveloped Ding Hao in it. Every ray of red brilliance penetrated into Ding Hao’s body like liquid.
When he was performing magic skills with all his strength, Ding Hao’s body looked as pure as jade, with no flaws or dirt on his body, just like an almost transparent jade man carved from a suet-jade. Invaded by the crimson brilliance, every blood vessel and every meridian channel in his body were clearly reflected. From a distance, those vessels and meridian channels looked like bloody silk threads, densely covering his body.
As Ding Hao’s heart beat, these red meridians expanded and contracted as if they could breathe.
Ding Hao completely entered a state of emptiness.
He entirely forgot himself.
At this time, he didn’t notice the rusted sword that had been floating quietly around him. Something happened to it—a little bit of silver brilliance gradually shone out throughout the crevices of its rust. A soundless and stirless power burst out like nuclear radiation.
The power was fairly strange.
It was like the pressure between two of the same species.
Ding Hao apparently did not sense this power, but all the broken swords and metal fragments a thousand meters around shook gently, tumbling at a mysterious rhythm and sending out a slight screech of metal friction as if a courtier was worshipping his king.
Ji Yingqi sat quietly at the door of the tent, looking at it all in surprise.
She held a thread-bound booklet in her hand.
As time flew by, another night passed in the blink of an eye.
In the early morning of the second day, after the crimson moon had disappeared from the sky, the terrible metal storms appeared again. There were roars of monsters and devils in the distance. The broken metal fragments around began flying into the wild wind and crashing into each other.
Ding Hao and his fellows began to march ahead again.
After they walked for a while, the thing that most worried Ding Hao happened.
Suddenly, a bang was heard.
The earth trembled and the mountains swayed.
Half a mile away, a hill of broken swords hundreds of meters high suddenly collapsed.
In the loud noise, lots of fragments of swords exploded in all directions like excessive locusts hitting all at once. A ray of bright-silver light rose into the sky, and a beautiful and mysterious arc appeared in the void.
This bright-silver brilliance cut off those roars in the distance, and separated the red storm. Between the heaven and the earth, a vacuum of tens of meters wide was opened, strangling toward Ding Hao.
“Sh*t!”
His face was distorted by surprise.
He could never defeat such a power, which was the Martial Emperor force at the highest level.
That silver brilliance was a warlike spirit weapon with the force of Martial Emperor at the highest level.
Facing such a force, he could not escape.
The bright-silver light had not yet arrived, and the overwhelming Qi function like turbulent storms had completely targeted Ding Hao. Then it seemed that it would not only crush him into flesh, but even destroy the entire world.
Ding Hao immediately infused Hell Ice Qi into the rusted sword, madly instigating the power of the rusted sword.
“Bang!”
Long cries burst out of the rusted sword.
Like the recovery of a sleeping spirit, the rust began to fall off and turned into a flying red light. With the silver glow flashing, a breath, as if the Supreme One had come, slowly flowed from the rusted blade.
Then the silver brilliance that had almost reached Ding Hao’s forehead suddenly stopped.
The silver brilliance dimmed, revealing its original appearance—it was just a small simple jade sword, as if it were a child’s plaything. There were two inexplicable inscription marks flashing on the body of the sword. Its shape was even slightly cute, even the blades on both sides were not sharp at all.
It conveyed a vague wave of will, with some doubts and some fear. It obediently hid its terrifying force of destroying the world, slowly floating near Ding Hao’s forehead.
“Can the rusted sword restrain this jade sword of warlike spirit?”
As a flash of lightning shot through his mind, Ding Hao instantly understood what had happened.
A trace of the supreme power flowed out of the rusted sword. Although it was very weak, it made this small jade sword threatened—or not threatened—conquered, more precisely. Just like a low-level demonic beast that met the more noble king, it could not raise up the slightest resistance and was completely suppressed.
It floated near Ding Hao’s forehead and dared not move.
Like a prisoner who violated the majesty of the king, it was waiting for the sentence from the rusted sword.
Without any hesitation, Ding Hao bit his finger and triggered the spirit in his body. He scrawled four characters of inscription on the body of the jade sword.
Self-imprisoned!
Ding Hao tried his best to mobilize his Divine Senses, connected the spirit of heaven and earth, and endowed the spirit with the four-character will.
He wanted to suppress the power of this jade sword with the inscription and tried to seal it down. In the beginning, he suffered from the resistance of the jade sword. The crimson handwriting could not really fall on the sword, but floated above the sword and couldn’t fall.
In the end, when the rusted sword slowly approached the jade-colored sword, it no longer resisted.
When the four Chinese characters for Self-Imprisoned finally fell completely on the jade-colored sword, a bizarre force permeated, and the sword completely dimmed. The terrifying power contained in it was sealed and turned into a small item that seemed to be threat-free. Ding Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief and observed it carefully in his hand.
