In the blink of an eye, the world turned dark.

  “Who are you? How dare you intrude into the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect?” Li Lan flashed into the void and shouted.

  “Hahaha, you stupid woman. Without Ding Hao, how dare you be so arrogant? Today I will kill all the people in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect……” As the crazy voice came, a Giant Toad Demon Saint as gloomy as a mountain showed up in the black demon clouds.

  “Zhang Fan, the Mad Saber! Come out! I will kill you!” Another huge Black Buffalo Demon also showed up. He looked at them with killing intent bursting out of his eyes, and he seemed to be in a state of madness. His huge body fell to the ground with a bang like an earthquake, and the mountains in the distance began to shake.

  It was a Demon Saint of the Demon Buffalo Sect in Black Mountain. He was a relative of Black Mountain Demon Emperor that died in a battle of the Life-and-Death Arena a few days ago.

  “Boom!” A loud noise was heard.

  A figure shot out of the Great Abyss and landed on the ground. The Saber Qi was awe-inspiring, and the power of the vigor was like the sea surging. It was Zhang Fan, the Mad Saber.

  “The battles of Life-and-Death Arena is an agreement between the Supreme Masters of the two clans. It simply depends on fate whether one lives or dies. You can’t bear grudges and try to kill the winner. However, you intruded into our Swordsmanship-seeking Sect today. Are you going against the Supreme Master’s order?” Li Lan shouted with a cold face.

  “Hahaha, the order of the Supreme Master is that no one is allowed to interfere in the battles of Life-and-Death Arena. There is no restriction of what I can’t do after the battles. Haha, without Ding Hao, your Swordsmanship-seeking Sect is quite vulnerable in my eyes. It’s a good time to kill you and avenge my son.” The Black Buffalo Demon Saint sneered.

  “That’s right. You killed the young master of the Heavenly Demon Temple. Even the Supreme Master was here, he has no reason to stop us.” The Giant Toad Demon Saint’s mountain-like fuscous skin bulged with horrible goosebumps. Its cyan veins looked complicated and profound, and a black-yellow stinky liquid was faintly flowing on its body. They were its poison glands, which looked extremely gloomy and terrifying.

  Li Lan sneered and said, “Lan of the Heavenly Demon Temple attacked our Swordsmanship-seeking Sect for no reason and killed my disciples. He deserved to die.”


  “Bitch, you will be killed. How dare you be so arrogant now? I’ll torture you when I capture you!” Roared the Black Buffalo Demon Saint.

  Li Lan suddenly laughed and said, “I’m afraid that I’m not the one who will be killed.”


  Boom! Boom! Boom! Before she finished her words, loud noises were heard.

  Beams of golden light suddenly shot up to the sky from all directions of the wilderness around the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect without warning. They were like golden ropes, constantly shuttling and intersecting in the sky. They densely covered the area within a few hundred miles and finally formed a huge golden net to cover the world.

  This sudden change shocked millions of members of the Demon Clan in the sky.

  What shocked them more was that a familiar voice was suddenly heard between heaven and earth.

  “Since you’re all here, none of you can leave alive today.”


  With a dazzling sword radiance shot up into the sky and the Saber Qi filling the air, streaks of golden and silver flames rose to the sky. A figure appeared from the Great Abyss, with the Devil Saber in his left hand and the Rusted Sword in his right hand. His black hair flew in the air like waterfalls as his green robe rustled. Who else could it be but Ding Hao, the Saber and Sword Addict?

  “You…… how could it be possible? Didn’t you enter the chessboard transmission formation?” The Giant Toad Demon Saint acted as if he had seen a ghost and couldn’t help but exclaim.

  The Black Buffalo Demon Saint was also startled.

  “Impossible! I saw Ding Hao enter the Great Abyss just now, and there was the aura of the transmission formation of the chessboard. Nothing went wrong. How could Ding Hao return?”


  “What the hell is going on?”


  “Who said I would enter the chessboard formation?” Ding Hao sneered with killing intent gathering in his eyes. He said, “I never wanted to enter that illusory immortal land. All I want was just to lure you petty clowns to show up.”


  While he was talking, there were more changes in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

  Light red dense gas sprayed from the ground like a fog, and it engulfed the entire sect in the blink of an eye. This fog was extremely strange. It was more than ten meters above the ground and just covered the buildings of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect without spreading to the void.

  “Red Gauze? An expert in the Immortal Realm?”


  When the Giant Toad Demon Saint and the Black Buffalo Demon Saint saw it, they were completely shocked. This strange pale red mist contained the aura of an expert of the Immortal Realm. It was called the Red Gauze, a well-known defensive magical power of an expert in the Immortal Realm from the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region. The red fog seemed weak, but in fact, it could isolate all forces.

  Combined with the interweaving golden beams in the void, all the members of the Demon Clan suddenly realized that they had fallen into a trap.

  “Let’s go!” The Giant Toad Demon Saint roared and turned to escape.

  The Black Buffalo Demon Saint also lost the courage to continue the battle.

  Even an expert in the Immortal Realm had taken action to protect the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, so the battle was pointless. Ding Hao and the others could kill to their heart’s content, and they did not have to worry about whether the aftermath of the battle would destroy the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Moreover, if the Supreme Master of the Human Clan in the dark took action……

  “The grass would grow again when the spring came if the roots were not removed! Kill!”


  Ding Hao showed no mercy. He turned into a stream of flowing light and directly rushed into the black clouds of the Demon Clan to start killing.

  “Kill!” Zhang Fan leaped into the air and attacked with all his strength.

  “Screech!” The long cry of the phoenix rang out in the air.

  A huge flaming phoenix also rose into the sky from the Great Abyss of the Back Mountain. Xie Jieyu showed up in red armor with a huge sword box beside her. Her slender little hand pressed on the sword box. Suddenly, countless crimson and purple sword brilliance streaked out like Death’s light, killing numerous experts of the Demon Clan in the dark clouds all over the sky in an instant.

  A terrifying battle had erupted.

  The trap set by Ding Hao and the others worked.

  Li Lan had long expected that once Ding Hao and others left, forces of the Demon Clan would come to take revenge on the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. With her wisdom of the Jade-faced Asura, how could she not think of this?

  That was why they had set up such a trap. They wanted to draw out the forces that were against the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect in secret and kill them all in one fell swoop to avoid future troubles.

  In fact, the person who had activated the chessboard transmission formation in the mysterious cave was Golden Cicada.

  The greatest traitor of Buddhism on the Land of Infinity also had a Sky-fleeing Stone Key in his hand. As early as the dawn that day, he had already dived into the Great Abyss. Just now, as soon as Ding Hao entered the mysterious cave, Golden Cicada activated the chessboard transmission formation and left.

  The energy fluctuations generated by the activation of the formation came out of the abyss.

  Therefore, the energy fluctuations of the formation detected by the experts of the Heavenly Demon Temple and the Demon Buffalo Sect in Black Mountain were not fake. After all, even the experts in the Immortal Realm could not imitate the energy fluctuations of ancient objects like the chessboard formation. That was why so they were fooled.

  In fact, the experts of the Heavenly Demon Temple and the Demon Buffalo Sect in Black Mountain were not fools. They had counted in all the forces who had the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys, so they launched the attack only after almost all the forces had left. Unfortunately, they had overlooked Golden Cicada.

  Blood poured down like heavy rain from the sky.

  The masters of the Demon Clan were incessantly wailing and screaming.

  The three geniuses of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect showed no mercy. They were like three sharp swords stabbing into the dark clouds. The light of the swords and sabers flashed like bolts of lightning, cutting through the dark clouds all over the sky. The terrified people of the Demon Clan wanted to escape but were trapped by the golden lights all over the sky. They could not escape at all and wanted to perish with the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. However, the Invisible force of the Red Gauze on the ground was not something that they could breakthrough at all.

  Corpses of people of the Demon Clan fell from the sky as if they were dumplings dropped to the boiling water.

  It was a one-sided massacre.

  Ding Hao, Zhang Fan, and Xie Jieyu did not confront the Saint level masters head-on at all. Instead, they shuttled in the army of the Demon Clan with their fast body movements, killing back and forth like tigers rushing into a flock of sheep. There was no rival to them.

  “Enough!” The Giant Toad Demon Saint raged. “Is there a need to kill us all? You have slain so many experts from our Heavenly Demon Temple. Aren’t you satisfied?”


  “Hahaha, what a joke!” Ding Hao cut the three Demon Royals around him into six pieces and said, “You came to destroy the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect aggressively. If so many people of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect were slaughtered, would you stop killing?”


  “As a junior of the Human Clan, you are so ruthless at such a young age. Aren’t you afraid of suffering the wrath of the heaven for killing so many people?” Bellowed the Black Buffalo Demon Saint angrily.

  “Bah! You Demon Clan feed on the flesh and blood of the Human Clan and killed wantonly. Today, your army came and said that you would kill everyone in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Now you are saying that I have killed too many people? Shame on you!” Ding Hao retorted without showing mercy.

  “We shall die together. You demon. I’m going to kill you!” The Giant Toad Demon Saint was enraged.

  When he was shouting, his huge body bulged like a hill. His white belly was like a giant drum, and his forelimbs were pounding his belly. Suddenly, a kind of soul-stirring demonic sound came out and surged in the sky.

  Countless experts of the Demon Clan were hit by the terrible sound waves and instantly exploded. Their blood and brain splattered everywhere.

  Ding Hao’s face changed, and he waved his saber and sword.

  A wall of ice and fire appeared in front of him to block the terrible sound waves. However, it worked only for a moment. The huge wall of ice and fire exploded in the next moment, and an irresistible force rushed toward him. With a snort, Ding Hao was kicked out unexpectedly.

  After all, the Giant Toad Demon Saint was an experienced expert of the Demon Clan. His cultivation was already at the seven-apertured Demon Saint Realm, and his Demon Aura was intense. If he put up a desperate fight, he could hurt Ding Hao and the other two geniuses.

  The temporarily forged saber in Zhang Fan’s hand was shattered by the sound waves. Zhang Fan opened his mouth and spat out a stream of blood. He was blasted and flew backward.

  Xie Jieyu protected herself with the giant flaming phoenix, so she was not badly injured.

  “Haha, with just the three of you, do you think you can turn the tide? Even if all the disciples of my Demon Buffalo Sect are dead, I will kill you to avenge my son!” The Black Buffalo Demon Saint turned deranged.

  He revealed his true form while speaking.

  A giant black-scaled buffalo with a height of a thousand meters appeared between heaven and earth, trampling on the Red Gauze on the ground. Its front hooves scratched the ground, shaking the area of a few hundred miles. Its pair of horns were like Heaven Sabers, which seemed to tear the void between heaven and earth.

  His body was surrounded by black flames, burning everything. Countless experts of the Demon Buffalo Sect in Black Mountain could not bear the heat of the black flames, nor could they find a place to shelter themselves. In the sound of whining and screaming, they were instantly burned to death!

  “Moo!”


  The Black Buffalo Demon Saint’s roar shook heaven and earth.
