Chapter 564 - Madness

Chapter 564 Madness

I’ve been following you since I was young. I knew that with my own aptitude and talent I would never be able to become a holy emperor, so I naturally hoped that the person I followed would become a holy emperor. As such, I would at least have a place in the Gods’ Palace in the future. I’ve assisted you loyally and I’ve even publicly called the 13th brother a bastard. But you, my good Big Brother, what have you done? Ever since you married that woman called Yu Qingcheng, you’ve lost your sharpness and ambition. You even claimed to have no intention of becoming a holy emperor. I’ve tried so hard to persuade you, but you turned a deaf ear to my advice…


Shut up, 8th brother, you’re mad. Is this the reason why you betrayed Big Brother?
Ding Xinghua shouted with bitter hatred.

Betrayal? He was the one who first betrayed me. No, no, he betrayed all of us!
The 8th prince roared hysterically,
3rd brother and 4th brother, why do we follow him? Weren’t we hoping that one day he would ascend the holy emperor’s throne to further stabilize our status? We have offended too many people for his sake. Haha, but he gave up his lofty aspirations for a woman and let all of us down. If that’s the case, what will happen to us when our 13th brother ascends to the holy emperor’s throne one day?


There’s nothing I can do. You’re really hopeless!
The third brother, Ding Xingyun, was so angry that his entire body was shaking.
The 8th prince ignored him and continued looking at Ding Shengtan to say,
Big Brother, I’ve given you chances. I was still persuading you, even at the last moment. Unfortunately, you didn’t listen to me… I could only make this choice. Otherwise, when our 13th brother becomes a holy emperor, I would die without a burial ground. For that woman, you didn’t even care about your brothers. What happened today was an outcome of your own choosing.

Ding Shengtan went into a trance; he did not utter a word for a long time.
It seemed that the
Time Freezing Sword
that pierced into his body was even less painful than the words uttered by the 8th prince, Ding Chulin.

You should know that even if I weren’t a holy emperor, I would have the ability to protect you,
Ding Shengtan said quietly.

Haha, it’s too late, it’s really too late. No one in this world is able to go up against the holy emperor, not even you!
The 8th prince laughed loudly as he retreated thousands of meters away and stood beside the 13th prince.

Time is like a sword cutting talents! Kill!
The 8th prince shouted and operated the
Time Freezing Sword.

The
Time Freezing Sword
that had entered Ding Shengtan’s body suddenly flashed with rays of golden light and released a terrifying power. It buzzed violently and was about to smash Ding Shengtan’s body into pieces…
Ding Shengtan acted as if he hadn’t seen it. He said thoughtfully,
I still wonder. My mansion is impregnable, and Qingcheng is an expert of the Holy Road. My 13th brother couldn’t have abducted the child. Now I understand that you were the one who did all of this secretly. I and Qingcheng trusted you so much. Although you weren’t in the capital, you could find a way to abduct the child…

Before he finished talking.
Ding Shengtan suddenly hit his chest with his palm, directly drawing out the
Time Freezing Sword
that had been inserted into his body.
The divine sword flew out of his body and transformed into a ray of flowing light that was about to fly into the distance…

Sword! Come.
Ding Shengtan reached out his hand.
The divine sword immediately fell into his hand after shaking gently.

How is this possible?
The 8th prince Ding Chulin was shocked. Under the control of his full strength, the holy sword moved violently, trying struggle free.
However, when Ding Shengtan touched the body of the sword, the sword immediately became still like a mouse who had seen a cat. It no longer dared to struggle and quietly calmed down.

This sword was made of Divine Sky Immortal Iron from the forbidden land of the Divine Enlightenment Continent. I obtained the divine metal by myself and supplemented it with 81 rare divine materials. I had uncle Ouyang Ye forge it, the number one weapons-forging master in the Palace. It took a year to finish,
Ding Shengtan touched the body of the sword, saying,
I gave it to you years ago. I once said that although it was precious, it was not as important as our friendship. Today, our friendship ends like the broken sword.

Right before he ended that phrase.
Ding Shengtan shook his wrist and the divine weapon was broken into pieces. It turned into a ray of light that disappeared into the void.

Phew…
In the distance, the 8th prince, Ding Chulin, spat a mouthful of blood.
He was connected to the spirit of the
Time Freezing Sword;
he would be injured once the sword was destroyed. He was extremely shocked. The
Time Freezing Sword
had an extraordinary origin and was one of the most powerful divine weapons in the Gods’ Palace, but it was destroyed by Ding Sheng with a twitch. His strength was too horrifying.
The 13th prince, who had been quietly watching this, suddenly applauded and laughed,
Good. So typical of you, Big Brother. You can still muster such power even while being seriously injured. 8th brother is no match for you. I just wonder, how many attacks can you withstand in your current state?

Before he had finished speaking.
Something changed again.
A ray of bright flowing light suddenly appeared in the distance. It looked like a falling star that streaked toward the battlefield with an incomparable trail of light.
Ding Shengtan sensed something. His face lit up with joy.
In an instant, the light approached Ding Shengtan with its terrifying power and fell beside him. Then, it transformed into a beautiful young woman.
She was so beautiful that she looked like a goddess. She was graceful and dignified, her face finely carved. As she stood there, her charm attracted everyone. Even though both troops were at loggerheads, the tension between them was eased because of her arrival.
In the arms of the beauty was a three-year-old boy.
The boy had a delicate complexion. Dressed in cyan clothes, he fell into a coma. His breath was disordered and his face was pale; he was still muttering intermittently,
Mom, mom, don’t worry. It doesn’t hurt…


Eldest Sister-in-Law!
The 3rd and the 4th princes greeted her.
This beautiful young lady was Ding Shengtan’s wife. She was Yu Qingcheng who used to be the God Clan’s Divine Lady of the Qilian region.
Ding Shengtan took the little boy from Yu Qingcheng’s arms. He said in surprise and anger,
Qingcheng… how is he, my little boy? What happened?


Shengtan, I… I’m sorry… I didn’t protect him well… I… I’m going to fight them to the death!

Yu Qingcheng looked extremely sad and determined. She had already burst into tears before she could finish her sentence.
She suddenly turned around and transformed into a ray of flowing light. A terrifying Martial Sage Realm Qi surged from her body. With a strike, the huge ship in front of the Mo Ke fleet was instantly shattered into tens of thousands of shards. Not even the martial arts experts inside managed to escape…

Kill!

Yu Qingcheng shouted angrily and turned into a God of Massacre. She thoroughly smashed the Mo Ke fleet’s giant ship and then rushed toward the warship where the 13th prince and the others were standing.
Ding Shengtan did not stop her. Instead, he held on tightly to the child in his arms.
This was his eldest son, Ding Hao.
The child who had been personally praised by the holy emperor for having the matchless talent of the Saintly Being of Saber and Sword had created many miracles over the past three years. At the moment, however, he seemed to have fallen into a state of illness and was extremely weak. He remained in a coma and was still mumbling something from time to time…

Father, It’s painful. Father, I miss you…


Father, I’m about to die. It feels like tens of millions of ants biting me… Father, where are you…?


Father, don’t blame Mother. It was my 8th aunt who took me out. Don’t blame Mom…


Father…


Father…

Ding Hao was in a bad state, and he was unconscious. He mumbled, and his black eyes were half-open, as if he couldn’t see clearly what was in front of him.

Hao’er, Hao’er, good boy, your father… I’m sorry!
Ding Shengtan held his son in his arms and his heart was breaking.
By this time, he had understood what had happened.
All the blood in his son’s body had been extracted.
For sure, all of this was done by the 13th prince.
On the opposite side.
The terrifying battle had already begun.
The 8th prince, together with more than a dozen experts of the Mo Ke fleet were fighting against Yu Qingcheng. The sky was blazing and the space was surging. Terrifying energy swept across heaven and earth like the anger of the gods. The Mo Ke fleet was scattered, and no giant ship dared to enter within a kilometer of the battlefield. As long as there was a slight aura coming out, the ship would be destroyed and the people on board would die!

Kill!
Yu Qingcheng was full of killing intent, although her beautiful face was devoid of emotion. Her eyes were as sharp as knives.

Boom! Boom!

A group of four experts at the Martial Grand Emperor Peak were instantly blasted into a blood haze.

Boom! Boom!

Yu Qingcheng received a blow from the 8th prince without any regard for her own safety. Her slender hands slammed into the 8th prince’s chest and a terrifying force erupted. Both of them spat out a mouthful of blood. The 8th prince was both shocked and enraged, deciding to hastily retreat.
However, Yu Qingcheng continued to pursue him like a shadow, as if she did not feel any pain.

Crazy woman, you… are crazy!
The 8th prince felt guilty and continued to fly back with a roar.

Beast, give me back the lives of my son and daughter!
Yu Qingcheng seemed to be in a state of madness.
The talented girl, who was pursued by countless outstanding talents all over the Shenen Continent. The once graceful beauty looked extremely ferocious. She gnashed her teeth like a mad woman. Her scarlet eyes were completely overwhelmed by hatred. Regardless of her frail body after delivery, she couldn’t wait to kill the culprit who had doomed her daughter and son.

Boom! Boom!

In the blink of an eye, the two sides had already made countless exchanges.

Ah, crazy woman, get out of my way… You’re courting death… ah…
The 8th prince cried out in pain.
Half of his face was bit into pieces by Yu Qingcheng. At this time, the talented girl was like a female beast who was avenging her cubs. She was completely mad.
Ding Shengtan cut his wrist; he took out a mass of his own blood essence, and integrated it into the unconscious Ding Hao in his arms. Ding Shengtan prolonged Ding Hao’s life with a secret method, and then he handed the child to the 3rd and 4th princes beside him.
When he looked up again, his eyes were red. There was no emotion in them, only boundless killing intent. He burst out two crimson beams of light that covered the 13th prince on the opposite side.
