Chapter 456: Where Does He Come from?

A haughty and overbearing voice rang. The owner was ruthlessly scolding Tian Neng. “Get lost!”

Subsequently, a slap rang. Then, someone rudely raised the curtain of the tent. Dressed in a red robe, Ai Qing barged in and looked down at Ding Hao. Behind Ai Qing, the short Tian Neng was red in the face. Tian Neng hurriedly followed in and looked at Ding Hao, gesturing that he tried to stop Ai Qing but failed.

When he saw Tian Neng’s face swell again, Ding Hao’s eyes flashed with a trace of anger.

These Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect disciples were really rampant and overbearing. They said that when you hit somebody, you did not hit them in the face. Tian Neng, after all, was an expert in the great grandmaster realm. In Wind Province, he must be a brilliant young man. If he had suffered like that, Ai Qing must have done it purposely.

If that was so, then Ding Hao would not act politely.

Having decided, Ding Hao waved, signaling Tian Neng to leave first.

Ai Qing glanced at Ding Hao and sneered. He casually sat on the main seat beside him and obviously, he despised the shabby setup in the tent. As if examining a prisoner, he said, “Young man, you’re really putting on airs. Did your minion even dare to stop me?”

Ding Hao did not respond and slowly expanded his Divine Awareness. He found Ai Qing came alone and no one followed him.

Ding Hao did not bother acting nice. “It’s late. What do you want in my tent?”

Ai Qing was stunned and then laughed, saying, “Looks like a young man like you really has led a comfortable life. You even act so tough on Sage Battlefield and don’t know how you spell death… Sonny, I see you’ve got a lot of treasures. How many pieces of Heaven-Earth Blood Bone have you got? Show me.”

Ding Hao sneered. “Do my treasures have anything to do with you?”

Ai Qing showed murderous looking in his eyes. “They didn’t. But when you stepped into this ancient city troop station, they did. Give them to me and you’ll leave here alive. Or… since now, there won’t be a man like you in the world.”

Ding Hao looked up at him and said with an extremely calm face, “I’m afraid you won’t let me go even if I give you all of my Heaven-Earth Blood Bones, right? Though Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect usually doesn’t enjoy a good name, it’s a well-known sect in Sword Province after all. It’s not an evil one. If you rob me like this, you must worry that I’ll expose you later. So, even if I give you all of my things, you’ll still find an excuse to kill me and my companions. Am I right?”

Ai Qing was stunned for a moment.

He suddenly felt that he might underestimate the young man who seemingly knew nothing about the danger and evil in the world.

However, so what?

“Strength decides everything. Even if you act so smart tonight, won’t you still be in my control?”

Thinking of that, Ai Qing directly put his cards on the table and smirked, saying, “Sometimes, it’s not necessarily good to be smart. Sonny, since you’ve seen it clearly, I’ll tell you the truth. Give me the things you’ve got, and I’ll finish you quickly. Otherwise… well, I don’t mean to scare you, but the torture of Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect is even famous in the entire Sword Province.”

Ding Hao suddenly smiled gently and nodded and said, “You’re right. It’s really not good to be too smart. But being too stupid is definitely bad. I don’t know if your Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect torture is brilliant or not. But I can tell you that I have at least 100 ways to make you suffer. If you’re interested, I can invite you to have a taste of them!”

Ai Qing was stunned and then laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. “What did you say? Haha, hahaha, young man, what are you smoking? Or, do you have a fever that infects your brain? Under such a condition, you dare to say something like that to me?”

Ding Hao sarcastically said, “What condition? Blinded by greed, if a smarty-pants idiot like you dares to come to my tent yourself, you must want to have all my belongings alone and have hidden this from your other companions, right? Come knocking at my door. It really saves me the trouble.”

The smile on Ai Qing’s face faded.

He finally started to eye Ding Hao.

“Under such circumstances, the young man still dares to say such things. If he’s not a madman, then I really have made a mistake.”

Ai Qing suddenly looked hideous and struck out. His palm as fast as lightning, like a viper’s tongue, directly charged toward Ding Hao’s chest. “Good, very good. You court death yourself. It’s not my fault!”

Even being suppressed by the primordial inscriptions in the city, the palm was still very shocking. Even when it hit an iron statue, the statue would shatter into pieces.

One could see that Ai Qing had his mind set on killing Ding Hao.

Ding Hao slightly lifted his hand and casually folded his finger and flicked it.

Ai Qing shouted in shock. “Ah…” Ding Hao exactly flicked the energy to Ai Qing’s wrist. Ai Qing instantly felt his arms sore and numb. It feebly dropped and could not rise again. He looked extremely shocked in the eye. He could not believe that the young man before him had such strength.

Ding Hao calmly looked at him. “How about now? Do you believe me now?”

Ai Qing let out a scream and dashed urgently. He drew the long sword on the back of his waist. Clang! In the tent, sword light immediately permeated like silver stripes floating. Sword Qi intersected and sword light flashed.

Ding Hao secretly exclaimed.

Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect deserved to be a famous sword practitioner sect in Sword Province. The commencing form of Ai Qing’s style was really exquisite, not weaker than Taixuan Sword-seeking Scripture in the least.

Thinking like that, Ding Hao softly lifted his hand and flicked again.

Ding!

With a light sound, the chilling sword light inside the room instantly screeched to a halt.

As if seeing a ghost, Ai Qing looked down at the long sword in two pieces in his hand. He felt he was dreaming.

How was it possible? The last evening outside the city, he had observed carefully. The young man only had Qi cultivation in the junior great grandmaster realm. After entering the city, being suppressed by the invisible energy, he should drop to Great Martial Mentor or even master realm. Now, why was he so strong?

Could he…

A possibility ran through Ai Qing’s mind and he suddenly sweated all over his back.

The last second, the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect disciple was still so arrogant, now, he had paled in fear. “You… you deliberately hid your cultivation yesterday? Who are you? You from Extermination Swordsmanship Sect?”

Ding Hao had an idea and did not confirm or deny. “What do you think? Can we sit down and talk now?”

Ai Qing tossed the long sword in his hand, looking a little dejected. He slowly sat on the seat but one second before his bottom touched the seat, he suddenly shot upright like lightning, rushing toward the cloth wall of the tent beside him. He wanted to directly tear apart the tent and at the same time, he shouted. “Someone! People from Extermination Swordsmanship Sect have lurked in…”

Unfortunately—

Before he hit the cloth wall, some energy bounced him back. He fell heavily on the ground.

The ground and the four walls of the tent used to be perfectly normal. Suddenly, lines of strange golden lattices flashed out of nowhere. They were like beautiful vines wandering around, giving off strange energy. They were strange inscriptions nearly between primordial inscriptions and Ding Hao’s own character inscriptions, locking the entire tent and blocking all auras inside.

Ai Qing immediately looked desperate all over his face.

He knew he made a mistake.

Ai Qing did not expect that the young man not only hid his strength so deeply, but was also a senior Inscriptionist… Such a man, and he was so young; he should have gained himself a reputation in the world. Why had Ai Qing never heard of such a man previously in Northern Region? Could he be a disciple secretly cultivated by Extermination Swordsmanship Sect?

Ai Qing resentfully said, “What exactly do you want to know? Our Senior Brother Ning is here, and you can’t run…”

Ding Hao deliberately put on a mysterious face and smiled, “Scar of Heaven Ning Huxiao? I was just thinking about meeting him. The ancient city troop station is full of your people, no matter if I can get out of here alive, and no matter you believe it or not, as long as I want, I can kill you right now.”

Ai Qing shivered in his heart.

He knew clearly that Ding Hao was telling the truth.

Ai Qing gritted his teeth and compromised. “Say it. What do you want to know?” When he walked under others’ eaves, he had to crouch down.

For him, everything was falling apart. Just now, he saw Ding Hao’s smile as a weakling’s miserable flattering; now, it became a sign of the devil. He hated himself. Because of greed, he fell into such a trap. If he ruined the sect’s plan due to this…

Thinking about the consequences, Ai Qing only shuddered with fear.

Ding Hao looked down and thought for a moment. “I just changed my mind.” He whispered something by Secret Voice-sending and soon, someone lifted the curtain. Tian Neng walked in on high alert.

Tian Neng was a little stunned and found the atmosphere inside the tent different from what he had imagined.

At first, he thought Brother Hao called him in for help. However, what was in front of him was the arrogant Ai Qing, like a defeated cock, sitting dejectedly on the ground; Brother Hao, who he imagined to be at a disadvantage, still looked calm as usual, as if nothing had happened.

Ding Hao looked up at him. “Your face still doesn’t heal?”

Tian Neng nodded, not knowing what was happening.

Ding Hao pointed at the dejected Ai Qing and said, “Do you want to slap him back? I said, I’ll give you chances to make him pay 10 times more. I kept my word. Now, you can slap him however you want. But the condition is don’t get him killed.”

Tian Neng blankly stared at Ding Hao and could not react at that time.

Ai Qing was red in the face. “You… don’t push it too far.” Strong humiliation almost set him off. “This is too much. Did he ask a jellyfish in great grandmaster realm to slap me in the face? He’s clearly humiliating me.”

Ding Hao smiled sarcastically, “What? Feeling humiliated? Why didn’t you think you’re pushing it too fat when you hit him? If you don’t want to go through this, then kill yourself. I’ll give you one chance. As long as you die, I won’t humiliate your corpse.”

Ai Qing was stunned. “I… you…” How would he choose to kill himself? Greedy people feared death the most.

Ding Hao smiled devilishly. “Look, I gave you a chance. You didn’t want to die. It looks like you’re not a noble swordsman at all. Then give me your face for my friend to slap you. If you resist, as I said, I have at least 100 ways to make you beg for death.”

Ai Qing lowered his head, teeth gritted.

A trace of cruelness flashed across Tian Neng’s face.

He knew even if he did not slap Ai Qing today, the arrogant and insidious Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect disciple would not felt grateful for him. Thinking about the previous humiliation and feeling the pain on his cheeks, the timid and muscular man gnashed his teeth and raised his hand, slapping Ai Qing ruthlessly in the face.

He did not slap Ai Qing to avenge himself.

Instead, he was showing Ding Hao that he would firmly stand by Ding Hao’s side.

Hearing the loud slaps, Ai Qing broke down.

He completely had a mental breakdown.
