Supreme Emperor of Swords Chapter 748 - The Power of a Divine Artifact

A small golden tallic Mantis flew out of the pool of blood, disappearing into a distant corridor like lightning.

It was the tallic Mantis Demon Saint who had decisively abandoned his body and fled, turning his divine soul into a streak of lightning.

This wise decision saved his life. Although his serious injuries would take him years to recover, he still had a glimr of hope. He was not like the Great Saint of the Snake Demon Clan whose body and spirit had been completely destroyed. There was no hope of that demon ever resurrecting.

The expressions of the two remaining Demon Saints—the Golden-scale Blood Crocodile and the Blood Goat—changed drastically.

The God-suppressing Seal was no less powerful than when attacking the Snake Demon. This beautiful girl of the Human Clan did not seem at all tired. She could completely control this Divine Artifact.

“You’ve injured Shi Wa and Xin Ge. All of you, die!”

The beautiful girl’s gleaming black hair fluttered strangely in the air like a black waterfall. There was no other expression on her face, only rage and terrifying murderous intent. Her forrly lovely eyes were like abysses, so black that they had no pupils or irises.

In the void, the God-suppressing Seal turned into a stream of red light, its trail so elusive that not even a Sage could see it.

“Oh no!”

“Let’s run!”

The expressions of the two Demon Saints changed. They chose to escape as quickly as possible.

The power of the God-suppressing Seal was far beyond their imagination. Even saints like them could not fight such power. They would die if they did not escape imdiately.

To be honest, they really hated Ding Hao.

If Ding Hao hadn’t intervened at the critical mont and stalled for ti, the two little bald giants would not have been able to stop them. If it hadn’t been for Ding Hao, they would have already seized the God-suppressing Seal.

“No one leaves!”

The beautiful girl cried coldly, her face full of murderous intent. The God-suppressing Seal soon reached them, again erupting with terrible power and hitting the Blood Goat Demon Saint’s back.

Boom!

Blood and bones were once again scattered all over the sky.

The body of the Blood Goat Demon Saint had disintegrated. His divine soul turned into a stream of light. He was about to escape into a corridor in the distant crystal stone wall, when the streaking God-suppressing Seal overtook him, stopping his run and smashing his soul directly.

On the other side.

The Golden-scale Blood Crocodile took the opportunity to escape, heading for a distant tunnel.

If it weren’t for the fact that this was the Final Divine Palace, governed by Archean rules and with solid void barriers, every expert at the Sage Realm could rge into the void, break through the barriers, and escape easily.

Unfortunately, although he was a Demon Saint, he could only run miserably.

The Golden-scale Blood Crocodile felt so aggrieved.

But at this mont...

“Demon, where do you think you are going?”

With a loud shout, a jet of majestic Qi power suddenly gushed out at the entrance of the tunnel, throwing the Golden-scale Blood Crocodile many dozen yards away.

It was that absolute expert of the Human Clan—the middle-aged scholar who had been watching nearby.

He chose to intervene at this mont to stop the Golden-scale Blood Crocodile.

For the Golden-scale Blood Crocodile, his intervention proved fatal.

The next mont, the multihued stream of light from the God-suppressing Seal hit him heavily.

There was an explosion, with blood and bones scattering everywhere.

The gigantic body of the Blood Crocodile had exploded.

Although this demon mutant was descended from the Demon Gods, it could not escape being shattered by a Divine Artifact.

“No, spare ...”

The divine soul of the Golden-scale Blood Crocodile could not escape. The flaming God-suppressing Seal had blocked his escape routes and he could not run. He scread in horror. He had lived so long and gloriously as a Demon Saint. He couldn’t die just like that!

“Spare , spare my life. I’m willing to be your slave and serve you...”

The Golden-scale Blood Crocodile’s soul roared in the throes of death.

In the sky, the beautiful girl’s hand controlling the God-suppressing Seal stopped.

She stretched out her delicate hand and bent her fair tender fingers, which were like freshly peeled spring onions. A strange dark tattoo erged from her fair palm, releasing a kind of strange power to capture the Golden-scale Blood Crocodile’s soul. At last, the soul was refined into a crimson light, sinking into the tattoo.

Ding Hao was watching closely. After absorbing the Golden-scale Blood Crocodile’s soul, the once dark tattoo suddenly beca bright red. One could faintly see a golden-scale giant crocodile struggling inside, but it soon settled down and vanished into the girl’s palm.

The battle ended.

The strange space was still emanating with the terrible impact of the battle.

The God-suppressing Seal turned into a stream of red light and sank into the spot between the girl’s eyebrows.

Her figure flashed and she imdiately ca to the two unconscious little giants.

“Shi Wa, Xin Ge...”

The beautiful girl was no longer as cold as ice at this mont.

The almost frozen malice in her lovely eyes turned into concern.

Obviously, she was not cold to her n.

The beautiful girl put the two mangled little giants beside each other. The light in her eyes flickering, she gave a loud cry. Pale red flas shot out of her eyes and enveloped the two giants.

“What a... strange treatnt thod!”

Ding Hao had recovered part of his strength, and most of his injuries had healed. He could tell that the light from the girl’s eyes had abundant vitality, which could heal serious injuries.

Sure enough, he saw crimson flesh buds sprout on the mangled bodies of the two unconscious giants. As the red light shot out of her eyes, the buds wiggled like they were alive. Intermingling, they finally turned into new muscles and bones...

In the blink of an eye, the injuries of the two bald giants had healed.

“M... mistress? You’re alright? That’s great...”

“Xin Ge is incompetent. I couldn’t stop the Demon Clan... Please punish , mistress!”

The two muscular little giants slowly woke up. When they saw the beautiful girl safe and sound before them, they were surprised and delighted. They imdiately genuflected respectfully.

He could see that the two loyal, brawny n were not just afraid of the beautiful girl. They truly respected and were concerned about her. When they saw her safe and sound, they were genuinely ecstatic.

“You two did well. Get up!”

The beautiful girl looked at her two subordinates. The harsh lines and severe expression on her face softened a little.

“Those demon experts have... ah, I rember now! That gigolo helped ...” The little giant nad Shi Wa patted his head and finally rembered Ding Hao.

The beautiful girl’s eyes finally fell on Ding Hao.

She stared at him strangely. She did not seem grateful for his help. Instead, she seed puzzled. There was also a little wariness in her eyes.

“Why did you help ? Do you know who I am?”

The beautiful girl still sounded cold. She slowly walked over and looked at Ding Hao.

Ding Hao slowly put away the rusted sword and looked at the girl who was half a head shorter than him. As he observed her closely at this mont, he discovered that she was actually younger than he had thought. Her face even looked sowhat childish. Her delicate eyebrows, slightly curling lips, and straight nose...

Every part of her face looked stubborn.

Behind that stubbornness was wary and distrust of everyone.

He had almost lost his life. In order to save her, he had been badly thrashed by the four Demon Saints, and yet she did not seem grateful at all. Anyone else, maybe even Ding Hao at tis, would feel outraged.

But Ding Hao did not feel angry at all for so reason when confronted by this icy girl.

He even pitied this stubborn girl.

His pity had nothing to do with the girl’s almost perfect looks. He felt a strange and inexplicable affection for her.

The beautiful girl stared at Ding Hao.

In her short life, she had experienced so much and knew very few who could be trusted. She simply could not trust a man she had seen only a few tis.

So many n had tried to get close to her because of her looks.

And even more—including a few whom she had regarded as kin—had torn off their hypocritical masks to seize what she had. They had turned from kind-hearted souls into nightmarish demons, almost robbing her of everything.

After so many sches and betrayals, she could no longer trust anyone.

Yet for so reason, the clear and frank eyes of this man in a shabby teal robe seed familiar. It made her sowhat flustered.

When she was integrating the God-suppressing Seal into herself, she was still quite aware of everything happening in the outside world.

She could sense the fierceness of that battle.

She also knew that this man had risked his life to give her ti to integrate the God-suppressing Seal, a Divine Artifact.

But why was he helping her?

They did not know each other at all.

If he was risking his life for the God-suppressing Seal, it would make sense. After all, the artifact was a great temptation. But he was just stalling for ti for a stranger.

“Why did you do this?” The beautiful girl looked at Ding Hao quietly and asked again.

Ding Hao put away the rusted sword, thought for a mont, and replied seriously, “I must not let this Divine Artifact fall into demons’ hands. If this powerful object falls into their hands, it will unbalance the stability of the region. Countless humans will lose their lives because of this.”

“Humph!”

The beautiful girl snorted coldly.
