Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 308 You’re Talking Too Big!

Ding Hao found a quiet inn in Peaceful City, helped two people settle down, and then reached people of the Gao family who had settled in the city, to ask them to help buy some spiritual herbs. When everything was ready, Ding Hao bought a small ordinary alchemy stove in the city’s refine weapon shop. He spent a whole day refining the Pill for Recovering from Death.

The Pill for Recovering from Death was originally a pill in the second-level peak, and it could cure trauma and internal injuries with a significant effect.

However, Ding Hao refined it with the technique taught by the Saber Master, and the fire he used was the Sky Fire of Extreme Yang. Such a fire was integrated in accordance with the mental cultivation methods of the Secret of the Mystery Character in the middle dantian of his chest. He even added some mysterious white liquid to the raw materials. The liquid was taken by Ding Hao from the cave in the Great Abyss to the slums of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. So those pills were much more effective than ordinary ones.

As the pills were refined, they were shining brilliantly so that they broke through one level and became pills in the middle rank at the third level.

With Qi, Ding Hao expelled the Qi impurities in Zhang Fan and Fang Tianyi’s bodies. Adding the assistance of the Pills for Recovering from Death, the two men’s injuries finally began to recover rapidly.

During that period of time, Ding Hao took time and met Gao Lin and Gao Feng.

At the moment, the Gao family of the Valley Village had completely overcome the poverty from the past. After more than five months, they had stood firm in Peaceful City, and various businesses were flourishing. The family was getting richer, and the Glutton’s House was one of the Gao family’s businesses.

Ding Hao was a great benefactor who changed the fate of the Valley Village. Gao Lin, Gao Feng and the others were absolutely grateful to him.

Ding Hao neither told the Gao family of his adventure in the ice cracks nor did he mention the treasure scroll. About the Winning Secrets for Mysterious Battles, he discussed with the Saber Master and the Sword Master again and again; they all thought that it was better to keep it confidential. Once the news were leaked out, it would bring countless troubles to Ding Hao. This would be like the so-called “an ordinary man was innocent, but his treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime.”

In the future, when Ding Hao was strong enough and he had nothing to fear, he could pass the Winning Secrets for Mysterious Battles to Gao Xue’er, which was also a reward for the Gao family.

Taking advantage of the Gao family’s business, Ding Hao sold some insignificant materials obtained from demon generals, demon kings and superiors of the human tribe at the bottom of the ice crack, and got more than 5 million gold in return. More than half of them were exchanged for black crystals, which could be used for his future cultivation.

Finishing those things took Ding Hao around five or six days.

At that time, Zhang Fan and Fang Tianyi’s injuries, under the elixir’s effect, had basically recovered. Ding Hao found Gao Xue’er at the martial arts club in the city. After making some arrangements, he left for the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

He took Gao Xue’er with him.

After more than five months of enlightenment cultivation, Gao Xue’er had become healthy and strong, compared to the weak and malnourished girl in the past. She had achieved the initial qualifications to satisfy Qi cultivation and could begin to stimulate the Qi seed.

Ding Hao promised to introduce Gao Xue’er into the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. That time, he would take her to the Sect to make her familiar with its environment. After more than four months, it would be the time for the yearly recruitment of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect to find new disciples, so that Gao Xue’er would formally enter the Sect to learn martial arts.

Early that morning, the sun was shining. Four horses and four men rushed away, including Ding Hao, out of Peaceful City.

…

…

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Li Yiruo snorted, threw away the whip in her hand and turned to look.

Surrounded by the crowd of more than twenty disciples of the Eastern Academy of Green Shirts, a teenager wearing an emerald green shirt and a square-shaped cap with a jade was standing before her.

The teenager looked at everything in the cell with anger. He was fourteen or fifteen years old with a height of 1.6 or 1.7 meters. With a white face, he was gazing coldly with a slight squint. The inclined corners of his mouth showed more anger than dignity. A long sword with a jade scabbard was hanging from his waist, with a dragon-shaped pattern, thin blood threads wrapped around the hilt, a plum-shaped hilt end adorned with brilliant blue silk. He radiated a horrific momentum with surging Qi.

His outfit was obviously more luxurious than that of ordinary disciples of the Eastern Academy of Green Shirts.

He was Lu Pengfei, the acting chief of the Eastern Academy of Green Shirts.

Compared with his wretched image in the past, Lu Pengfei at the moment seemed to be a metamorphorhosed sparrow and finally had some dignity. Standing there quietly, he could also give people a sense of oppression, especially his slightly rising eyes. Like a poisonous snake spitting its tongue, he always made people fearful.

He had won the championship in the competition among the five academies for three consecutive years and had indeed developed some momentum.

However, perhaps Lu Pengfei liked to plot against others very much, and currently he was always shrouded in a haze. Compared with the two geniuses of the Eastern Academy of Green Shirts, he had neither Ding Hao’s friendly sunshine feeling nor Li Lan’s elegance with a well-regulated mind. Many disciples obeyed him because they were afraid of him, instead of having a close instinct with him.

The disciples of the Eastern Academy of Green Shirts standing around Lu Pengfei were obviously afraid of him, so they dared not come too close to him; they bowed their heads and kept silent.

Others were afraid of him, but the little pepper Li Yiruo was not.

“Lu Pengfei, you’ve come at the right moment.” Li Yiruo called his name, pointing at Jiang Feng who had been beaten half to death and sneered, saying, “The dog you raised carried out tortures in the cell. He bruised Wang Xiao and Li Yunqi all over. He was really courageous. How do you manage your subordinates?”

“I only saw that you Li Yiruo have seriously injured Jiang Feng, the disciple of our Eastern Academy of Green Shirts. I have not seen Jiang Feng carrying out any torture,” Lu Pengfei said faintly, making a counter-charge, “Li Yiruo, today if you don’t give an account, you won’t leave this cell.”

“Give you an account?” Li Yi Ruo smirked and replied, “You are a sinister villain. Taking the chance that my Senior Brother Hao is not in the Sect, you have smothered the Eastern Academy of Green Shirts. Aren’t you ashamed to say so? Without your instruction, how could Jiang Feng, this dog, dare to torture Wang Xiaoqi and Li Yunqi? Others are afraid of you, and they are angry but dare not speak out, but I, Li Yiruo, do not put you, an arrogant Zhongshan wolf, in my eyes. Today l will uphold justice. Even if I beat Jiang Feng, this dog, to death, what can you do to me?”

“Ignorant and humble maidservant.” Lu Pengfei opened his eyes suddenly.

Two cold eyes burst out and the air temperature in the entire cell seemed to drop abruptly.

To tell the truth, Lu Pengfei had thoughts about Li Yiruo. The most beautiful girl in the five academies was like a thorny rose. She had a deadly attraction, so many disciples in the five academies, even outside them, and those of the inner core wanted to please her. Lu Pengfei was no exception.

Unfortunately Li Yiruo liked Ding Hao and she took the initiative to throw herself into his arms.

In the past, Lu Pengfei did not dare to reveal his own thoughts. At the moment, as the champion in the competition of the five academies for three consecutive years, he was governing the Eastern Academy of Green Shirts and had tasted the power. His eagerness for Li Yiruo had completely changed since it was infected by power. He hated Ding Hao, so he also hated Li Yiruo. He had become impatient to get the woman’s favor, but his eagerness had become a naked possessiveness.

More than once, he had wanted to put the most beautiful flower in the five academies under his body to ravage.

However, in the short term, Lu Pengfei had still suppressed his own thoughts.

He knew very well that before the year-end big examination for nominal disciples, he had to endure for a while. When the plan was realized, he would successfully become an inner core disciple of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. By then, he would easily capture girls like Li Yiruo.

“Unexpectedly, that day, in front of so many people, this woman dared to attack herself.”

Had it been it a long time since he hadn’t been contradicted?

So at the moment just then, Lu Pengfei almost couldn’t control himself.

However, gradually, he squinted again. His cold eyesight like two venomous snake tongues slowly disappeared. He breathed a sigh of relief, saying word for word, “You have no right to interfere with internal affairs of the Eastern Academy of Green Shirts. Li Yiruo, I’m giving you one last chance, get out of here; otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude to you.”

Before his voice died away.

“Chief Lu, you’re talking too big! I would like to see how rude you will be to my cousin.”

A voice with unquestionable dignity came from behind.

Everyone felt deeply shocked.

Another big shot had arrived.
