  Ding Hao wrote down “Boundless grasses over the plain; come and go with every season. Wildfire never quite consumes them; they are tall once more in the spring wind” with his left hand.

  And “The cold wind passes through the green window; the cold moon slants the shadow. The dream sends the soul far away to Jiangnan; the moon light is like frost at the cold night” with his right hand.

  Dozens of Chinese words appeared in the void, with the right side frozen and the left side burning. Every stroke of those words was very clear, as if they were written on paper. Ding Hao’s handwriting was indeed good. Seen from afar, the flames were flying and the cold air, rising, which revealed an indescribable beauty. Controlled by Ding Hao’s mind, the Chinese inscriptions were finally turned into an ice sword and a scorching hot sabre. Tremblingly, they instantly flew towards the two battlefields in the distant sky.

  Ding Hao looked back at Huang Rong who had widened her eyes, and signaled that she was already safe, so there was no need to worry. The next moment, he turned into a beam of flowing light, rapidly approaching the two battlefields in the distance like a shooting arrow……

  In the distance, both Xia Nishang and Bi Xia were already in danger.

  Those two geniuses of the Leiyin Sect were both covered in bruises. It seemed that they would die in the blink of an eye.

  But when the Double Wind and Lightning were struggling hard, the ice sword and the scorching hot sabre arrived at the same time. The ruthless ice sword penetrated Xia Nishang’s lower abdomen, and the scorching hot sabre cut off one of Bi Xia’s arms. The next moment, a terrible power intruded into their bodies in a flash.

  “Ahh……” Bi Xia turned and fled with a scream.

  “My little foe, you’re so cruel!” Xia Nishang opened her mouth and shot out a blood arrow. Then, endless blood fog gushed out from her delicate body. She was displaying a certain kind of blood escaping skill, which consumed her vital energy to help her flee from the battlefield.

  But how could Xie Jieyu and Feng Ning let the two go?

  By that time of the battle, Xie Jieyu and Feng Ning had both activated their Blood Battle Bodies. Covered with blood flames, Xie Jieyu was like a bright red phoenix. Even the space was sizzling before the blood flames, as if it were melting. As for Feng Ning, his long purple hair turned into a purple flame. His silver eyes had no pupils at all, only two flowing mercury whirlpools, as if they could suck the souls of all creatures.

  They two both possessed rare Blood Battle Bodies, which were extremely scary when they were displayed.

  In the twinkling of an eye, Xie Jieyu and Feng Ning caught up with their rivals again.

  At that time—


  Bang!

  In the western distant sky, the golden giant hand that saved the fainted Jiang Disheng tore the void again. With indescribable coercion, it rushed toward Bi Xia and Xia Nishang as fast as lightning. Obviously, Jiang Disheng wanted to do the same trick to save those two young top-level experts.

  Xie Jieyu and Feng Ning changed their faces. It was already late to chase them again.

  “Senior, you’re too naive. You wanna save them? Aren’t you going to give some kind of explanation tonight?” Ding Hao reached the battlefield in an instant and stood side by side with Feng Ning and Xie Jieyu in the void. He didn’t try to block Jiang Disheng, but shouted.

  “You’ve already seriously wounded them. Why do you still want to kill them?” The old majestic voice was heard again from the depths of space.

  “People will always kill murderers,” Ding Hao said and sneered, showing no sign of weakness, “Since they dare to kill me, they must be prepared to be killed. Everyone should pay for their actions.”


  “They’ve paid the price, young man. Be lenient wherever possible. Why do you have to kill them?” The old majestic voice sounded solemnly again, “They’re both outstanding people of the young generation in our Snow Province, who will be the leaders of the major sects in the future, as well as the Human Tribe mainstay against demons. If you kill them today, you’re destroying the foundation of our Human Tribe.”


  Ding Hao couldn’t help laughing.

  “Don’t chop logic! I was also ranked on the Hidden Genius List of Snow Province once. According to what you said, I can also be regarded as an outstanding person of the province. But why did you condone them after trying to kill me? According to your logic, since they’re deliberately attempting to assassinate me, aren’t they destroying the foundation of our Human Tribe? If it were they who had the upper hand tonight and wanted to put me to death, would you show up to block them and rebuke them in such a righteous manner, Senior?”


  Deep in the clouds, the old majestic voice was silent.

  After a long while.

  “Young man, just tell me what compensation do you want?”


  The owner of the old majestic voice knew that he was wrong, and his tone finally softened.

  However, Ding Hao didn’t appreciate it, but said straightforwardly, “This matter will be settled by the elders of our Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Senior, I advise you to leave Bi Xia and Xia Nishang and quickly retreat. Saving Jiang Disheng is already the bottom line of our sect. You are weak and stubborn. If you try to flaunt your superiority again and again, don’t blame us if our Swordsmanship-seeking Sect is ruthless.”


  “How dare you! How dare you, an ignorant guy, be so rude to me? You’re so unruly at such a young age, how will you be if you grow up? “Since this is the first time you offended me, I don’t blame you. Leave me quickly, and let the elders in your sect to talk to me.” The old majestic voice sounded a little angry.

  Ding Hao laughed loudly to annoy the opponent deliberately. He said proudly, “How interesting. I’m the leader of the Sword-hidden Peak of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, given the right of inspection and punishment. Considering my status because of having a big role of the sect, I’m far more qualified to talk to you, a little elder of the Tranquility Academy. It’s you who can’t tell right from wrong and black from white. I think you’re already senile. Just let a wiser person of your sect to talk to me.”


  The mysterious expert of the Tranquility Academy didn’t know what to say for a moment.

  He had forgotten it.

  Ding Hao was different from before. Not to mention his strength; given his identity, he was not inferior to anyone in the entire Snow Province. The disciple of Qi Qingshan, the old monster, as well as the junior brother of Li Jianyi, the Sword Intent King. Possessing such loud titles, together with the real power of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, it was enough to make him worthy to be looked up by thousands of martial artists in the Snow Province.

  At that time—


  “Brother Tianxin, someone must take responsibility for what happened tonight. If you leave the two young people of the Leiyin Sect, then I’ll let you go……” A figure appeared quietly behind Ding Hao and the others. Though vague, it carried an overbearing aura. It was the voice of Li Jianyi, the master of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

  “Humph, who can stop me from leaving?” The old majestic voice in the distance sounded a little angry.

  “It’s not helpful to say those angry words. After all, you and I are both in the game. I’ll let you go because of our last mutual affection of the past. Still, someone must take responsibility tonight. You can take Jiang Disheng away, and I will personally visit your master Fang Xiaoan tomorrow for an explanation. As for the people of the Leiyin Sect, they can only be taken away by people of the Leiyin Sect, otherwise…… Although our Swordsmanship-seeking Mountain Villa is weak, it’s not a place where anyone can come and go at will!”


  With Li Jianyi’s voice, there was suddenly a powerful and shivering aura flashing away, locking the surrounding space within a dozens-of-miles radius.

  The expert of the Tranquility Academy deep in the dark cloud snorted and said no more words. He loosened his golden giant hand, dropping Bi Xia and Xia Nishang down from the clouds. With a flash of the golden light in the air, the dark cloud disappeared, taking away the seriously injured Jiang Disheng.

  Ding Hao raised his hand to form two beams of Hell Ice Qi and infused them into the bodies of the Double Wind and Lightning, sealing their elixir field and the meridian channel of the Shaoyin First Channel of Hand. He, at the same time, formed two beams of silver flowing light, turning them into shackles to lock the hands and feet of the two. That was the magical torture tool of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, specially used to bind experts.

  Upon hearing the previous conversation, Bi Xia and Xia Nishang knew that they were not in danger, so they didn’t struggle. Even Xia Nishang, the foxy Heaven Wind Devil Girl dared not take liberties before Li Jianyi, such a grandmaster and a dominator. She lowered her head without a word, and looked delicate and touching with her messy hair.

  The moment the expert of the Tranquility Academy left, Li Jianyi also disappeared.

  When he left, he also took away the Double Wind and Lightning.

  The curtain of that night had finally fallen.

  “Thank you for your help tonight.” Ding Hao turned to thank Xie Jieyu and Feng Ning.

  “I was just ordered to help you tonight.” Feng Ning was still calm like a ten-thousand-year ice. His purple long hair was like a flame, with flowing lights contained in each strand. After stimulating the battle body, there was still a trace of extremely terrifying aura left over. That night, he had pressed Bi Xia, the Ninth Heaven Thunder Dragon, almost destroying the martial heart of that Heavenly Son of the Leiyin Sect.

  One year prior, after Ding Hao first met Li Jianyi, the Head of the sect, he was lost in the sect’s high-rank area and entered the cultivation place of the blood disciples by mistake. There, he saw Feng Ning for the first time. Compared with the arrogant and domineering people like Yuan Tiangang, Feng Ning, with purple hair, just sat quietly on a rock, like a sleeping giant beast from the primitive times. But the strong aura in his body surprised Ding Hao at that time.

  After a year, Feng Ning went out to the Snow Province as a lone traveler, under the arrangement of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. He gained the title of the Purple Hair Silver Eyes, ranking on the Hidden Genius List of Snow Province, and became the top figure of the Human Tribe’s young generation in the Snow Province.

  Ding Hao didn’t know what kind of holy blood was flowing in Feng Ning’s body, neither did he know what kind of Blood Battle Body he owned. But, it wouldn’t be worse than the phoenix blood Xie Jieyu possessed.

  “Ding Hao, I’ll challenge you after the Grading Meeting of the sect.” A hot fighting desire was burning in Feng Ning’s silver eyes.

  Ding Hao replied with a nod, “Okay.”


  Among the leading figures of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect’s new generation, at the moment only Ding Hao, Xie Jieyu and Feng Ning could be compared with one another. No matter what their personal relationship was, there would definitely be a war in the future to rank them, which went with the old saying: “There is no second in martial arts.”


  Feng Ning glanced over Xie Jieyu. After a short pause, he turned into a beam of flowing light and left.

  Ding Hao saw him off, and then turned his head around. When he looked into Xie Jieyu’s eyes, it seemed time had stopped for ten thousand years. Staring at each other quietly for a few seconds, the two couldn’t help but smile.

  Xie Jieyu flew over with a sweet smile. She stretched out her white-jade small hand to naturally hold Ding Hao’s hand, full of calluses out of hard work, and squeezed it hard. She then blinked and joked, “Hey, chivalrous hero, you’re so powerful. Shall we be friends?”


  Ding Hao opened his mouth and suddenly didn’t know what to say.

  He felt he was being teased.
