Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 85 Tactical Deployment

After the tactical deployment appeared, before the crowd could react, the surrounding scenery also began to change.

It was as though a giant mirror had begun to crack, shattering into fragments, which then turned into stars and began to dissipate.

Then, the darkness gradually dissipated, and there was a faint light around.

In the end, the scene changed. What appeared in front of everyone was the scene outside the palace.

The palace was gone.

Ding Hao looked up at his surroundings and frowned slightly.

Evil Moon was stunned for a moment and then cursed angrily, “Damn Ding Tong, he actually kept such a trick up his sleeve!”

“Oh no, this is a tactical deployment. We’re trapped…”

“Shit, we’ve been ambushed!”

“The imperial palace has disappeared, and the dark creatures we encountered before have appeared again!”

The people of the Charm Tribe were also shocked. They had never expected that there was a tactical deployment hidden here. Then, they saw that countless dark creatures, which had been hovering outside the palace, appeared in front of them again at this moment. But this time, those dark creatures did not surround them to fight with Ding Hao and the others. Instead, they stood far away from them and were blocked by the huge cage.

All of this had occurred so suddenly, and it had occurred in the blink of an eye, which caught the crowd off guard.

“Raaaaargh!” Suddenly, those dark creatures seemed to have sensed something, and they roared toward the sky while their voices rose louder and louder. Their voices hadn’t even dispersed when they knelt in unison on the ground, and their expressions changed from bloodthirsty to respectful. Moreover, they faintly carried fearful as if they were welcoming their king.

“What’s happening? What are they doing…”

Just when everyone was shocked and Ding Hao’s expression changed slightly, a gloomy voice suddenly sounded around them. “Ding Hao, since you tricked me and destroyed one of my entities, I also planned to trap you once. Speaking of which, if it weren’t for that battle that exposed your whereabouts, I really wouldn’t have thought that you would come to the Primordial World so soon and intend to destroy my plan.”

“This is a trap?!”

When everyone heard this, their faces instantly became darkened.

When Evil Moon heard this voice, it immediately recognized that this person was Ding Tong. It immediately jumped up and shouted fiercely, “You’re just a clown that doesn’t dare to show your true face. Ding Tong, if you know what’s good for you, show yourself now. Otherwise, I will make you bleed!”

“The situation is not good. It seems that we have fallen into the trap of Ding Tong.” Qin Menglan frowned.

Although the people of the Charm Tribe had never seen Ding Tong, judging from the information reported by the spies before and the current situation, they knew that this voice belonged to the one behind the scenes. That was to say, the one who put the Charm Tribe in danger was the one who spoke just now.

However, these were not the most important things now. From the words just now, they learned that the speaker had already known that Ding Hao would appear and that he would sneak into the dark city sooner or later and wanted to destroy the dark spring. Therefore, this man named Ding Tong had set up a tactical deployment and waited for them to fall into it.

Ding Hao was silent and did not speak.

Ding Tong spoke again. “I know that since you’ve come to the Primordial World, you’ll definitely attack this dark city after you find the group of good-for-nothings from the Evil Yang Tribe and these people of the Charm Tribe. Therefore, I’ve been prepared for a long time and waiting for you here. Otherwise, do you think you would be able to enter here so easily?

“In the end, you were still careless. What you just did is going to cause you to fall into a state of eternal damnation…”

“Eternal damnation?” Ding Hao looked very calm when he heard that. He said lightly, “This tactical deployment is formed by your dark power. Its defensive power is indeed nice, but do you really think you can use it to trap me?”

“Hahaha…”

Ding Tong laughed wildly in the void, and then he sneered and said, “I know that although your strength has declined, there is still no tactical deployment in the world that can really trap you. However, I think this tactical deployment can still trap you for a while…”

Evil Moon said disdainfully, “Even if you manage to trap Ding Hao for a while, so what? Can you turn the tables? As long as he can get out, you will still be defeated. What’s more, can your lousy tactical deployment really trap us for some time?”

“You are as stupid as your master. If you don’t believe me, you can have a try…” Ding Tong talked again. “Guys, stay here and guard. As long as they make any unusual moves, activate the tactical deployment.” His voice gradually became lower and lower, and then it did not sound again.

Obviously, Ding Tong had no intention of coming out to see Ding Hao. He just left.

However, not long after Ding Tong finished speaking, ten black figures suddenly appeared around the cage-like tactical deployment.

These dark figures, men and women of all ages, looked different, but they all looked at Ding Hao and the others with the same expression.

When all the people of the Charm Tribe, as well as Evil Moon, saw those ten dark figures, their pupils contracted and their faces looked a little stiff. It was because these ten dark figures were all experts in the Eternal Realm, and half of them had reached the middle level of the Eternal Realm.

“Damn it. It seems that this tactical deployment is really not simple since it is controlled by ten masters of the Eternal Realm!” Evil Moon cursed. Then, it turned to Ding Hao, who had just come to its side, and asked, “Can you breach this tactical deployment?”

Hearing the question of Evil Moon, all the people of the Charm Tribe focused on Ding Hao.

Ding Hao did not change his expression and said slowly, “I’ll try…”

He was ready to take action.

He slightly clenched his palm, and a white light emerged, condensed, and turned into the Flowing Frost Trace Sword.

As he raised his sword, a horrifying momentum spread out from his body, surging between heaven and earth and hacking down toward the void angrily. A wisp of Sword Light of destruction instantly bloomed and broke through the sky. The light was dazzling, and the surging sword Qi was roaring.

The void was enveloped by the dazzling Sword Light.

The pupils of the people of the Charm Tribe, the dark creatures, and the ten dark creatures in the Eternal Realm contracted when they saw this Sword Light. It was terrifying, truly terrifying.

They were stunned that Ding Hao seemed to simply wave his hand, but he could actually draw such horrifying sword Qi.

However, after the initial shock, the ten dark creatures in the Eternal Realm became calm. Terrifying dark power burst out from their bodies and was injected into the tactical deployment in front of them at the same time.

Beams of light shot up to the sky from the cage-like tactical deployment, and the rumbling sounds were endless.

Then, the crowd saw that in the tactical deployment, streams of terrible dark power, following a void crack, gathered to the place where the sword Qi landed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The moment the sword Qi came into contact with the dark power, balls of bright light burst out, followed by deafening explosions. Waves of horrible power rippled out.

“AHHHH…”

“Retreat NOW!”

Some of the dark creatures near the tactical deployment, as well as the lower-ranking female warriors of the Charm Tribe, were sent flying backward by the force, and their blood spilled. The rest of the people present, including the dark creatures, were so scared that they hurriedly retreated and did not dare to approach the tactical deployment.

Ding Hao frowned slightly and waved the Flowing Frost Trace Sword in his hand again.

At the moment, the sword in his hand seemed to be able to cut through everything and destroy the whole world.

The void trembled, making one terrified.

However, after the ten dark experts narrowed their eyes, they injected dark power into the tactical deployment again.

Endless dark light rushed into the void and resisted the attack of Ding Hao once more.

Dazzling balls of light bloomed once again, piercing everyone’s eyes and causing their hearts to beat violently.

“Damn it. Ding Hao, why are you so slow? Hurry up and break this damn tactical deployment. Meow. I’m going to find Ding Tong and beat him to vent my anger. How dare he say that I’m stupid? That guy is asking for a great beating…” Evil Moon shouted at the side.

Seeing that his attack didn’t work, Ding Hao stopped and clenched his left hand slightly.

A beam of blood light flashed, and the Blood-drinking Mad Saber suddenly appeared in the palm of his left hand.

He held the saber in his left hand and the sword in his right hand.

The saber and the sword were dancing at the same time, and their speed was so fast that no one could see them clearly.

Gusts of wind blew from Ding Hao.

The Saber Light and the Sword Light rose and gathered together, turning into a stream of saber and sword hurricanes that swept through the world, whistling and bombarding.

This force was several times stronger than the previous ones.

“It’s so terrifying. The tactical deployment should be breached by now…” After the people in the tactical deployment thought of this, the ten dark figures had already taken action.

Seeing Ding Hao increase his strength, the ten dark figures injected more power.

Ten surging dark forces were connected at the same time and burst out. In the void, they seemed to have turned into horrible Devils. They waved the magic weapons in their hands which cut through the void and faced the attack of Ding Hao.

The two sides’ terrifying forces collided, which caused the sky to dim while mountains and rivers shook.

Ripples of terrifying light fluctuations spread out in all directions.

The sky split open, and that enormous hole was like a behemoth opening its enormous mouth, covering the sky and sun.

The ground shook violently as if a volcano had erupted and the crust had changed.

“What an intense collision. This scene is simply the end of the world…”

“Lord Ding is so powerful. If I get any closer, I’m afraid I’ll be blown to pieces by the aftermath!”

Under these terrifying aftershocks, everyone felt a wave of terror, and they didn’t have the slightest ability to resist.

Qin Menglan was extremely powerful, but even her face turned pale and she kept trembling.

“This is simply too terrifying. It’s simply not something that can be done with human strength…”

However, that tactical deployment had still not been breached. It was still intact.

Ding Hao snorted. His sword rose and his saber danced. Terrifying sword radiance and earth-shattering Saber Qi broke out again.

The sword radiance and Saber Qi that could destroy the world burst out in front of him. There was no sword or saber shape but only bright brilliance. It was as if it was going to tear everything apart.

This sword and saber seemed to have gathered all the power of heaven and earth.

The bright light of destruction shone again. Ding Hao once again exerted his horrifying power to bombard the tactical deployment.
