C67 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada
C67 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada
Wang Hao felt that he was getting colder and colder, as if he no longer cared about anything. He was extraordinarily calm, as if he didn't care about life or death.
"This feeling, I seem to have experienced it before."
After calming down, Wang Hao began to search for a way to solve the problem. He suddenly realized that this was not the first time he had experienced this kind of emotionless indifference.
"Dark Heart!"
Wang Hao finally remembered that when he used the Dark Heart, he had this kind of feeling.
"Since resistance is useless, then let me accept you!"
Wang Hao took a deep breath and released the Dark Heart from the depths of his heart.
"Dark Shadow Form!"
After the battle with Wang Mang, this was the first time Wang Hao had entered the Dark Shadow Form. The Dark Shadow Form could gradually destroy his emotions, and it was the same as Heartless Monarch's remnant thoughts. That was why Wang Hao did not use it when he was in danger.
As the Dark Heart was released, Wang Hao was swallowed by the black flame. Only his eyes were flickering with a red light that caused one's heart to palpitate.
"Eye of Darkness!"
Wang Hao activated the Eye of Darkness. From the inheritance, he saw the remnant thoughts of Heartless Monarch.
Heartless Monarch's remnant will was also looking at Wang Hao. He exclaimed, "What a good Dark Heart. I, Heartless Monarch, have been silent for countless of years. Finally, I found a suitable successor. Hahahaha!"
Wang Hao, who had entered the Dark Shadow Form, had completely given up on resisting. The Dark Heart and Heartless Monarch's inheritance shared the same origin. They were both dark sides in people's hearts, and they did not reject each other.
The speed of the inheritance increased by several times. Not long after, the black fog emitted from the stone statue of the giant sword had been absorbed into Wang Hao's body, becoming one with the Dark Heart.
Wang Hao entered his own world. The Hornless Dragon and the Dark Heart beside ___. It had become even stronger from a small burning ball. It was burning with a dark purple flame, like a real heart. It was beating non-stop.
"System Notification, you have learned the Heartless Sword, your skill proficiency is at the peak!"
"Heartless Sword, a martial skill with no quality. This martial skill was created by a generation's Divine Martial Stage Expert, Heartless Monarch. It contains the Heartless Poison, and can destroy all emotions. It can only be used under the Dark Shadow Form."
"Hu!" Wang Hao took a deep breath. The Dragon Abyss Sword was burning with purple-black flames, and the murderous aura it emitted made it hard for people to breathe.
"Heartless Sword!"
Wang Hao gently slashed down with his sword, and the black sword light directly destroyed the stone statue. Countless martial skills, vitality stones, and Profound Artifact burst out from the stone statue, and they were all stored in Wang Hao's inventory.
"Wake up!" Wang Hao shouted and forcefully cut off his connection with the Dark Heart. The purple-black flame extinguished, and Wang Hao once again returned to normal.
Feeling the palpitations that were difficult to calm down, Wang Hao smiled bitterly and said, "With the Heartless Sword, the Dark Shadow Form's power has increased by a level. However, the corrosion on my spirit is also stronger. I really don't know if it is a blessing or a curse."
"However, Heartless Monarch's collection is really shocking. Over a thousand different rank martial skills, over six hundred different types of Profound Artifact, and three million pieces of rock. It's simply enough to form a small sect!"
Wang Hao walked to the side of Chameleon. The Heartless Poison that she had been inflicted with had already dissipated. At this moment, she was in a coma due to serious injuries.
"Wake up."
The incense stick was awakened by Wang Hao. She opened her eyes and asked curiously, "We are not dead?"
Wang Hao said snappily, "Of course we are not dead. Give me some recovery Medicine Pill. Our danger has not been resolved yet."
Ding Xian knew that Wang Hao had saved her. She generously took out all the Medicine Pill from the Essence Ring and let Wang Hao choose whatever he wanted.
Looking at the medicinal bottles on the ground, Wang Hao almost had the idea of robbing Ding Xiangzi. Previously, he had risked his life to obtain some cultivation resources, but in the end, other people's resources were sold in bulk.
After picking a few recovery Medicine Pills, Wang Hao stuffed them into his mouth. After that, he sat cross-legged on the ground and circulated the Nine Dragon Spell to speed up the recovery of his Yuan energy.
Ding Xian was shocked by Wang Hao's cultivation posture. She finally understood why Wang Hao, who had only cultivated for less than a year, could have his current achievements. His cultivation method was simply cheating!
"Hey, who is the master of this cultivation technique of yours? Help me ask. Do you mind taking in another female disciple? It's a cute type."
The one who answered Ding Xian was Wang Hao, who rolled his eyes. "Don't think about my cultivation technique anymore. Only I can cultivate this cultivation technique."
Hearing this, Ding Xian immediately became dejected. She could tell that Wang Hao did not lie to her.
Ding Xian suddenly became serious. "Yue Hann was killed by you. Did you get the inheritance?"
Wang Hao hesitated for a moment and said the truth, "I got the inheritance, but you have to keep it a secret for me."
"Why?" Ding Xiangxiang did not understand. Wang Hao explained, "You heard what Yue Hann said. The 'Sky Scorpion' organization behind him. The ultimate goal was to destroy the Snow Sword Sect. The sect was predetermined to have another chess piece planted by the Sky Scorpion. If they find out that the inheritance has been obtained by me, they will definitely come and cause trouble for me. "
Ding Xiangzi stuck out her tongue and stretched out her palm, "I hate to keep secrets the most. However, since you have saved me before, you can pay me some money to keep my mouth shut, and I will reluctantly agree to it."
Wang Hao knew that Ding Xiangzi was trying to express her goodwill to him. The two of them had gone through a lot of hardships in Ancient Martial Tomb, so they now had a trace of friendship.
Seeing that Wang Hao did not make a move after a long time, Ding Xian pouted and said with an unhappy face, "I gave you so many Medicine Pills. You can't let him return empty-handed, right?"
Wang Hao smiled and placed the two martial skills in Ding Xian's hands. Anyway, it was Heartless Monarch's inheritance, so he did not feel any heartache even if he gave one to her.
"This is the Hundred Poison Art and the Thousand Refining Art. The former can make your Heavenly Orchid Grass's toxicity stronger, while the latter can make the Heavenly Orchid Grass's leaves become as sharp as blades. This is the Hundred Poison Art and the Thousand Refining Art. The former can make your Heavenly Orchid Grass's toxicity stronger, while the latter can make the Heavenly Orchid Grass's leaves become as sharp as blades."
"Wang Hao, you are really great!"
Ding Xiangxi happily hugged Wang Hao and kissed him. She then placed the two martial skills into the Essence Ring, as if she was afraid that Wang Hao would regret it.
Wang Hao touched the cheek that Ding Xian kissed on and had a helpless look on his face. If Zhao Muer knew, she would definitely be jealous.
"Yo, the two of you are so happy, and you are flirting with each other. You must have gotten a lot of benefits. Why don't we share it?"
A strange voice of Yin and Yang was heard. A group of ten people walked out from the entrance of the hall.
Wang Hao and Ding Xian were on guard at the same time. The people of Three Major Sects had caught up with them.
Wang Hao swept his gaze across the ten people in front of him. All of them had some injuries on their bodies. It was likely that they had encountered some danger in the forest or the inheritance hall.
As for the two people who were missing, there was no need to guess. They had fallen into a deep slumber here.
The one who had just spoken was Ho Ying from the Myriad Beast Sect. He stuck out his tongue and licked his sharp claws. He looked at Wang Hao and Ding Xian as if he was a hunter who had found his prey.
Ding Xian scolded, "Ho Ying, what do you want to do?"
Ho Ying laughed out loud, "Ding Xian, don't you know what I want to do? You and your companions hand over the inheritance, and I, Ho Ying, will spare your lives!"
"Humph! You want to play the mantis stalks the cicada? Aren't you afraid that it will destroy your dog teeth?"
The people of Three Major Sects stood together. Ding Xiangzi knew that they had reached a consensus.
Wang Hao frowned slightly. He remembered that before he went to Ancient Martial Tomb, the people of Three Major Sects had vaguely formed an alliance. There must be something strange going on in this period of time.
Wang Hao whispered to Ding Xian, "They have a lot of people. We can't keep fighting. Let's just kill our way out!"
Ding Xian nodded, "Later, I will use the Heavenly Orchid Grass to stop them. You can kill your way out. We will go straight to the secret door. I have a way to get rid of them. Be careful of Ho Ying. He is stronger than me!"
"Have you two finished whispering?" Ho Ying seemed very impatient, "You really aren't stupid enough to want two people to deal with ten of us, right?"
"Take a guess!" Ding Xian smiled mischievously. With lightning speed, she threw the soul item in front of her. The unremarkable short stick spun in the air at high speed. Countless Heavenly Orchid Grass seeds scattered across the entire hall.
"All living things grow!"
Ding Xiangyan shouted. The seeds that fell to the ground began to grow at an astonishing speed. In an instant, the empty hall seemed to have transformed into a forest filled with sky-blue grass.
Ho Ying and the others were tied up tightly by the Heavenly Orchid Grass. A sharp light flashed in Ho Ying's eyes, and his body began to mutate.
"Wang Hao, Ho Ying's Blood Soul is some kind of fierce bird. The Heavenly Orchid Grass can't trap him. Quickly cut open a path!"
Under the urging of Ding incense, Wang Hao threw the Dragon Abyss Sword that was filled with Yuan energy forward. The sharp blade immediately cut open a path in the grass.
"Go!"
Wang Hao grabbed Ding Incense and chased after the Dragon Abyss Sword as he escaped from the main hall. He plunged into the secret door that he had come from.
Ho Ying had completed his transformation. Black feathers grew out of his skin, and his four limbs turned into sharp claws.
"Feather Blade Dance!"
A strong force cut off the Heavenly Orchid Grass and saved everyone. Ho Ying sneered and said, "Do you think you can escape like this? Dream on, chase after him!"
Ho Ying and the others plunged into the secret door. It was pitch black behind the secret door. Only some lava that was about to soak in the stone platform was emitting a dark red light.
Wang Hao and Ding Xian stood on the stone platform and looked at them.
Ho Ying's sharp eyes immediately noticed the difference in the stone platform. Some of the stone platforms emitted a faint fluorescent light and formed a bridge of light.
"Let's see where you can run to this time!"
Ho Ying led the crowd and chased after them. Ding Xiangzi said to Wang Hao, "Can you do what I told you?"
Wang Hao smiled and said, "Are you looking down on me?"
Ding Xiangzi told Wang Hao that when Ho Ying got close to her, she would immediately destroy the secret door. She was free to go out. Wang Hao did not ask about the details. The two of them had fought side by side until now. He chose to trust Ding Xiangzi.
When Ho Ying got close to her, Ding Xian said in a deep voice, "Now is the time!"
"Hundred Swords East Coming!"
Under Wang Hao's control, hundreds of sword energies passed by Ho Ying and the others and exploded all around the secret door. With a rumble, the secret door disappeared.
"What's the use of destroying the secret door? Wait until I kill all of you and obtain the inheritance, I will naturally find the other door!"
Ding Xiangjiao smiled and said, "Ho Ying, you are too arrogant. I have said before that your ambition is too great. Be careful not to break your dog teeth!"
"When I break your neck, let's see if you can still laugh or not!"
"Then you also have to catch up to me first!"
Ding Xiangyan waved her hand, causing a few dozen Primary Stones to appear in her hand. She used a powerful force to ignite the Primary Stones' Yuan Qi, causing it to emit a brilliant glow.
"Go!"
Ding Xiangzi fired the Primary Stones into the sky. At that instant, the strange place regained its brightness.
Ding Xiangyan threw out more and more Primary Stones. In just ten seconds, she threw out thousands of Primary Stones, leaving Wang Hao speechless.
"Damn it, I'm going to be rich in this life!"
When Ho Ying was about to catch up with the two, the entire space was as bright as day.
Ho Ying was horrified to find that the fluorescent light emitted by the stone platform had been covered by the strong light emitted by the Primary Stones. No matter how sharp his eyes were, he could not find it at this moment!
Wang Hao was also dumbfounded. "Ding Xiangzi, you did block their pursuit by doing this, but we can't find our way either!"
Ding Xiangxiang smiled mysteriously, grabbed Wang Hao's hand, and jumped.
Ding Xiangxiang was like a dragonfly lightly touching the water, stepping over several stone platforms in a row. Wang Hao was shocked to find that Ding Xiangxiang did not take the wrong step!
Turning her head to see Ho Ying and the others in a flurry, Ding Xian smiled charmingly and said, "Are you dumbfounded? I have the ability to remember things with my eyes!"
