Chapter 198 Ding Hao · the Power of Trust
“Senior Sister Murong, you must go quickly…” The charming female disciple of Western Academy of red shirts, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, opening her mouth and squirting a black blood arrow. She was shaking. Obviously she failed to make full use of magic skill to drive away the poison. She said urgently, “It will be too late if you don’t leave now.”
“As a disciple of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, I would never leave my companion, Jueyao. Don’t worry. Just hold on for a moment, I believe there will be other disciples to save us!” Murong Yanzhi said, gritting her teeth.
She waved her long sword and splashed clouds of silver light, struggling to hold on.
“Haha, even if other people come, even your third-generation Martial Uncles come, maybe they all will be in danger. If ordinary disciples come, we will kill them all at once!” The one-eyed laughed loudly.
As he fired the poison stings, he turned back and shouted to his companions, “Let’s fight together and don’t waste time. Take down these two cheap maids. They are dying. There are so many houses here. Hey hey, find a place to have a good time.”
Those disciples of Falling Star Sect laughed, fanning around the girls of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.
“Senior Sister Murong…” Yu Jueyao shouted, “Although we have known each other for less than a few minutes, but… in the afterlife, I, Yu Jueyao, will be sisters with you. I absolutely cannot fall into the hands of these beasts!” Saying such words, she struggled to pull out the long sword hanging on the waist, holding the sword across the neck and intendeding to commit suicide.
“Don’t…” Murong Yanzhi tried to stop her, but it was too late.
But at this moment—
Whew!
A ray of bright silver cold light broke through the sky, it hit Yu Jueyao’s long sword exactly. As a result, its great strength struck her sword out.
What intense power!
What a brilliant flame!
What was that?
A flying knife?!
Before the crowd could react…
Whew! Whew! Whew! Whew!
The shrill sound of breaking through the space kept coming.
Five or six rays of bright and dazzing silver light pierced the darkness as swift as lightning. They shot at the one-eyed and other disciples of Falling Star Sect.
“Who are you, get out!”
The one-eyed and other disciples of Falling Star Sect were frightened so that their bodies were in a flash and they dodged rays of cold light.
Behind the one-eyed, a disciple of Falling Star Sect, trusting himself to have super skills with disdain smile, took the cold light with the hand unexpectedly. The next moment, a whoop of earth-shattering scream was heard with blood bursting, and this disciple’s palm was pierced through a blood hole by the cold light.
“The hidden weapon of flying knife! Who is it?” The one-eyed flew into a rage.
Falling Star Sect was well-known for its hidden weapons, and it was good at using all kinds of hidden weapons. Its disciples not only studied hidden weapons’s principles, but also learned hidden weapons’s using methods. Hidden weapons, such as flying knives, flying swords and copper coins, were supposed to be the most common and low-level ones. Unexpectedly, that disciple failed to take it!
“I, who will kill you beasts.”
With the clear voice, a handsome young man in the green shirt stepped out of the darkness.
All of a sudden, this young boy in the green shirt came to the middle of the battlefield.
“Senior Brother Ding!”
Two young girls exclaimed aloud with joy.
…
Whether Murong Yanzhi or Yu Jueyao, at this moment, showed the looks of unconcealed wild excitement, just like travelers who saw that someone were bringing water after they had fallen to the ground out of hungry and thirsty in the desert, and people in the boundless darkness who saw the beacon.
The death pressure that smothered the two young girls vanished at this moment.
All this was because of the name Ding Hao of the teenager who appeared before them.
Ding Hao!
This name, for ordinary nominal disciples of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, represented more than just a name.
It was not only because Ding Hao was the first in the five academies competition of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, but also because Ding Hao was a synonym for being outstanding and showing his ability to the full extent.
It was also because Ding Hao’s words and various deeds had given the disciples of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect a sense of security and trust.
For the purpose of protecting disciples of Western Academy of red shirts, he killed Mu Tianfeng…
For the purpose of protecting his fellow male disciples, he defeated Tianli Attic alone…
For the reputation of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, he stood up to fight back the provocation of Tranquility Academy…
This teenager never let down his supporters and friends.
And this time, the arrival of Ding Hao, from the point of view of Yu Jueyao and Murong Yanzhi, suddenly built up a piece of wall against the wind and rain before them and all dangers and disasters would be blocked in the outside.
…
Murong Yanzhi and Yu Jueyao came from Southern Academy of purple shirts and Western Academy of red shirts respectively. They were two most outstanding disciples selected by two academies. They should have followed their teachers-in-chief and masters of the third generation to explore other areas in the ruins.
But an accident happened.
Not long ago, after that loud noise and horrible sound appeared, both of them were transmitted by the red halo to this gloomy and empty area of ghosts.
They were neither lucky nor unluky.
The reason why they were said to be lucky was that they were accidentally transmitted to a place less than 10 meters away.
They were said to be unlucky because a dozen disciples of Falling Star Sect were also transmitted to the place 100 meters away from the girls’ transmission point.
For a long time, as one of the nine major human sects in Snow Province, the evaluation about Falling Star Sect was not good.
The sect focused on the cultivation of hidden weapons and poisonous drug. Perhaps it was influenced by the martial arts style. Most disciples in the sect were rampant and arrogant.
More importantly, the sect had good relations with Tranquility Academy in the past ten years. Therefore, the relationship with Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was much worse. There had been many frictions between the two parties. Many people even regarded Falling Star Sect as the daring vanguard of Tranquility Academy against Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.
In this expedition to the antiquity ruins, Falling Star Sect carried out cruel means repeatedly to kill many wandering warriors and rogue cultivators. Suspected killers of Falling Star Sect conducted sneak attacks at the team of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. So that it could be observed that the contradiction between the two sides had intensified to such a degree.
Therefore, when dozens of disciples of Falling Star Sect transmitted looked up and saw just Murong Yanzhi and Yu Jueyao of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, both sides had irreconcilable conflicts almost at the first sight of each other, whether out of the contradiction between sects or out of personal ugly desires.
On the premise that the individual strength was similar, two girls were naturally not rivals to more than a dozen people.
Yu Jueyao was poisoned by a hidden weapon and Murong Yanzhi was also seriously injured. The situation was extremely passive. If the situation continued, the two could not escape from the violent treachery…
It was all right now!
Ding Hao was here!
Here came the most reliable and powerful person of the nominal disciples in Swordsmanship-seeking Sect!
Although he was alone, all the worries and fears in Yu Jueyao and Murong Yanzhi’s hearts vanished in an instant.
This was the power of trust!
