Chapter 95 Mu Tianyang (2)
Thunderous booms echoed out like waves in the sea.
All sorts of energies were interweaving and colliding with one another.
Energy waves continued to spread out from the eleven figures.
The buildings below, as well as the walls, collapsed one after another. Those ordinary dark creatures were similarly unable to resist this terrifying force, and quite a few of them exploded, dying within.
In just half an hour, the result of the seemingly evenly-matched battle was revealed.
The skinny old man and his companions were very powerful, but they were facing Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong. Although it was eight against three, they were still at a disadvantage.
After a while, the battle finally came to an end.
Eight extremely powerful high-level dark creatures had been killed by Ding Hao and the other two.
Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong killed three people respectively.
As for the remaining two high-level creatures whose cultivation was lower than the other six, they were naturally dealt with by Xing Mo.
However, Evil Moon had been hiding far away since Ding Hao and the others started to fight and ended the battle, but it did not stay idle. Instead, it went to kill those ordinary dark creatures.
There were at least half of the total dark creatures who had died under the claws of Evil Moon or had been devoured by it. 30% of the dark creatures were affected by the battle just now and died in it.
Only about 10 to 20 percent of the dark creatures were left. Without the control of the high-level dark creatures, they began to rush to Ding Hao and the others crazily like released fierce beasts.
These ordinary dark creatures had no spiritual intelligence at all, nor did they know what fear was. No matter how terrifying Ding Hao and the other two were just now when they killed those dark creatures’ leaders, those dark creatures would not run away, which was why they charged over recklessly.
Although they looked extremely fierce, it was impossible for them to defeat Ding Hao and the others.
Ding Hao and the other two, as well as the cat, were like tigers entering a flock of sheep. Low-level dark creatures were killed by them one after another.
After some time, the first wave of dark creatures the three men and the cat encountered was finally completely annihilated. However, even though they had killed quite a few dark creatures, these dark creatures were only a small portion compared to the great dark army, not worth mentioning at all.
After that, the three men and the cat continued on their way.
Four figures, three big and one small, like meteors, cut through the sky and went straight into the depths of the Yu Region.
On the way, the four figures didn’t stop at all until they encountered another territory of the dark camp.
In front of them, there were countless dark figures twice as many as in the previous camp.
As there were a lot of them, the number of buildings naturally increased. However, these buildings were much more orderly. At the very least, they were not randomly constructed like before. The walls of the camp were piled up with bricks, just like those in human cities. They were not piled up with boulders like before.
“We meet the dark camp again. Meow, haha, we can have another great killing!” Evil Moon said confidently, “Sooner or later, I’ll spank Ding Tong and let him know that I’m not easy to deal with. Now, I’ll vent my anger on these little guys first. Meow, hahaha…”
Obviously, Evil Moon bore a grudge against Ding Tong for being trapped in the dark spring last time. Unfortunately, those dark creatures were its revenge targets.
“Who dares to be so impudent here…” After they broke the tactical deployment, numerous dark creatures surged out again. In front of them were naturally the high-level dark creatures guarding this place.
Seeing Ding Hao and the others, these dark creatures all looked fierce. Without saying a word, they immediately rushed up like tides and began to fight with them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The three men and the cat were like a small boat in the face of the dark waves. When they encountered the violent waves, they seemed to be swallowed at any time. But every time the waves surged, the small boat would change into a different look, like a fierce beast of primitive times devouring the waves.
…
As expected, Ding Hao and his companions still won a great victory in this confrontation.
However, this time, it took them much more time than the last time, and the enemies were also extremely stubborn. Although they knew that Ding Hao and his companions were extremely strong, they did not give in at all.
When the last dark creature died miserably, they still had no intention of retreating, but Ding Hao and the others were not surprised. After all, most of the enemies were creatures without intelligence and only knew how to kill.
After a short rest, the three men and the cat continued their journey.
The four figures flew in the sky again, like meteors, cutting through the sky, as fast as thunder.
They were getting closer and closer to the imperial city of the Yu Tribe.
After a while, Ding Hao and the others crossed tens of thousands of miles and met the dark camp again. Just like last time, they didn’t take a detour and rushed straight over.
This time, the camp was different.
The buildings were much more gorgeous than before, and they were also very orderly. The place was like a real human town.
The number of dark soldiers increased again. After a series of thunder-like shouts, they rushed out.
Ding Hao had been thinking just now, but he could only stop pondering. After breaking the tactical deployment of the camp, he began to fight side by side with Xuan Tianzong and Xing Mo again.
…
High in the sky, Ding Hao looked down and observed the dark territory below with a thoughtful look.
The closer they got to the depths of the Yu Region, the tighter the camp of these dark creatures became. It seemed that after the initial chaotic slaughter, a new strange balance had appeared in the dark territory.
These dark creatures had even begun to build to a certain extent. Although it was only in its embryonic stage, Ding Hao could still observe it.
“Maybe this will be the rise of a tribe!” Ding Hao sighed in his heart, stopped thinking about it, and continued on his way.
After a few more battles, Ding Hao and the others finally saw the imperial city of the Yu Tribe.
Thousands of meters away, a vast city stood there like a behemoth.
“I finally see it. Meow. It’s really troublesome to see the people of the Yu Tribe this time…” Evil Moon muttered. Then, it suddenly thought of something and said with a tut-tut, “However, the camp of those dark creatures is really well built now. If it weren’t for the annoying dark power on them, I might have thought that it was an ordinary human town…”
Hearing the words of Evil Moon, Ding Hao said softly with emotion, “Maybe they will be a new tribe!”
Evil Moon seemed to have not heard Ding Hao and asked, “Hmm? Human Pet, what did you say…”
Ding Hao shook his head.
“We’ve finally arrived!”
The three men and the cat landed on the ground. When they came to the city gate, before Ding Hao and the others could speak, there was a sudden sound of tension at the city gate.
Raising his head, Ding Hao saw over a hundred stocky guards suddenly appear at the city gate, staring warily at them.
In front of them, there were huge crossbows with huge arrows that emitted a faint cold light on them.
Those guards put their hands on the crossbows. Once they found anything unusual, they could shoot arrows at any time.
“Who are you? Why are you here…” someone shouted when he noticed Ding Hao and the others.
At the same time, all the crossbows were aimed at Ding Hao and his companions.
There were even some who had injected the crossbows with Qi and would shoot arrows at any time.
Ding Hao and the others were not surprised. They knew that the reason why the other side was so vigilant was because of the dark force. Although they had observed that those guards were human beings, they had to be very vigilant.
Xing Mo walked over in a few steps, looked at them, and said very calmly, “I’m Xing Mo, the patriarch of the Evil Yang Tribe. We’re here to meet the patriarch of your tribe.”
“The Evil Yang Tribe, huh?” Hearing Xing Mo’s words, the guards looked at each other. Then, when they saw Xing Mo take out a strange-looking gold token engraved with the word “Xing” on it, they all relaxed.
The guard standing in the middle immediately said respectfully, “Greetings, Your Excellency Patriarch Xing. Please forgive us for offending you earlier.”
“It doesn’t matter…” Xing Mo waved his hand. After a few simple words, the guard opened the city gate and let Ding Hao and the others in.
After passing through the city gate, the guard hurriedly led Ding Hao and the others to the imperial palace.
In the imperial city, an army was patrolling. It was the imperial army of the Yu Tribe.
These imperial guards were all in high spirits. Their eyes were shining with a sharp light, and their blood and killing intent were even more frightening.
It could be seen from their momentum that if the dark army came again, these imperial guards would play a very important role in the war.
In addition to the imperial guards, there were also many wandering warriors of the Yu Tribe in the imperial city.
It seemed that because of the recent battle, the atmosphere in the imperial city had become very tense. Many martial artists of the Yu Tribe showed vigilance when they saw Ding Hao and the other two outsiders suddenly appear. They merely looked a bit more relaxed when they saw the guards in front of those outsiders.
After passing through a long street and receiving many strange looks, Ding Hao and the others finally arrived at the imperial palace.
With the help of that guard and Xing Mo, the patriarch of the Evil Yang Tribe, Ding Hao and the others entered the imperial palace after a simple examination.
“Patriarch Xing, please wait here. His Majesty will be here soon. I’ll leave first…” After Ding Hao and his companions passed by the palace, a young eunuch led them to a palace. After they sat opposite each other, several palace maids came up with a few cups of precious nice tea and some pastries. The young eunuch excused himself and went out with those palace maids.
A while later, there were some noises outside the hall.
It seemed that the patriarch of the Yu Tribe had arrived.
Ding Hao and the other two turned their heads and looked at the door. As for Evil Moon, it was sitting cross-legged, holding a teacup and tasting it carefully, muttering, “What nice tea…”
The sunlight shone at the door, and several long shadows appeared there.
Later, the patriarch of the Yu Tribe came in.
“Hmm?” However, when Ding Hao and the others saw the patriarch of the Yu Tribe, they were all stunned.
The person walking in the front was the patriarch of the Yu Tribe. He was not an old man or a middle-aged man, but a young man who was definitely no more than 30 years old.
This young man was tall and slender. He wore a jade-colored gown and had a dark cyan dragon-patterned belt tied around his waist. He had dark red hair and a pair of bright and spirited eyes. He appeared handsome and elegant.
Xing Mo glanced at the young man. After his expression was slightly stiff, he leaned over and whispered in Ding Hao’s ear, “He is not Yu Deru…”
“He’s not Yu Deru?
“Then who is this man?”
