Chapter 49 Unbeatable
The entire scene was deathly silent, and even people’s breathing could be heard.
In the end, Crown Prince Rong Fu was the first to break the silence. “Haha, Brother Ding Hao, you do live up to your reputation. Amazing!” At the same time, he waved his hand slightly, and several servants immediately lifted the bulky man down.
Ding Hao smiled and said nothing.
Some guests looked at Ding Hao in shock when they saw this.
Although the burly guy Gao Lu was only at the three-apertured True Immortal Realm, his physical strength was so strong that ordinary martial artists at the same level as him were no match for him.
“The man whom the Crown Prince has taken a fancy to is not ordinary!”
However, the more it was like this, the more people were unconvinced.
After the guests looked at each other, one of them stepped out, bowed to Crown Prince Rong Fu, and said, “Your Highness, Brother Ding is really powerful. I am willing to learn from him. Brother Ding, please enlighten me.”
This man was called Liefeng, whose cultivation level had reached the four-apertured True Immortal Realm. His strength was much higher than Gao Lu’s.
.....Crown Prince Rong Fu was speechless. He did not know how to respond to this man.
Just now, because Gao Lu’s words were rude, it was reasonable for Ding Hao to take action. Now there was another guest challenging him, which the Crown Prince found a bit inappropriate.
In the end, he looked at Ding Hao and asked, “Brother Ding Hao, what do you think?”
“Since this brother thinks so highly of me, I shall accept his challenge!” Ding Hao laughed loudly, flashed, and landed in the open s.p.a.ce of the reception room.
When Ding Hao agreed, a trace of coldness flashed in Liefeng’s eyes, but he still said very politely, “Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”
With that, he stepped forward and came to the field.
“Brother, be careful!” With a thud, his palm trembled, and two overbearing wind blades cut through the air, blowing around and flying toward Ding Hao.
Ding Hao’s expression was calm. He took a small step forward and also waved his palm. A fierce wind swept out and directly smashed the wind blades. It did not stop, and then it fell on Liefeng. In front of his horrified eyes, it crushed his defense and sent him flying.
Ding Hao performed just one move and defeated another guest.
Just like the bulky guy before, Liefeng fainted at the banquet.
The eyes of Crown Prince Rong Fu quivered slightly and then flashed with a glimmer of light. The stronger Ding Hao was, the more valuable he would be, and the more helpful he would be to the Crown Prince.
Yi Gao and the others also had some understanding of Ding Hao’s strength, so they were not too shocked when they saw him easily defeat the two men.
However, it was not the same for some guests.
The two men just now were not the weakest among the many guests, but Ding Hao’s strong defeat was indeed beyond their expectations.
Even so, Ding Hao’s aggressiveness only earned them their fighting desire and did not dispel their challenge intention. Therefore, although the expressions of the guests changed slightly, some of them were not convinced and immediately proposed to challenge Ding Hao.
Ding Hao did not refuse. He still stood there and attacked formidably again.
…
Within two hours, the same scene kept playing out in the reception room.
The guests issued challenges one after another and attacked, but they were all defeated by Ding Hao in the end.
Subsequently, more and more guests were defeated by Ding Hao. Dozens of them were defeated by Ding Hao in a row, and none of them could withstand his second move. They were all knocked down in a single move.
These guests usually looked so strong and unfathomable, but after meeting Ding Hao, they all became paper tigers that could be broken and pushed down with a poke.
However, everyone present knew that it was because Ding Hao was too strong. He was much stronger than those guests who had been defeated by him.
The remaining guests gradually lost their courage, gradually changed from unconvinced to shocked, and finally became speechless.
At this moment, Ding Hao was as invincible as a War G.o.d in their eyes, and they gradually understood how terrifyingly powerful he was.
Therefore, the banquet, which had been filled with challenges just now, became silent.
Many guests sat there silently, not daring to make a sound.
The Crown Prince was about to smooth things over when a figure suddenly walked into the reception room.
“Greetings, Your Highness!” The man faced Crown Prince Rong Fu and bowed slightly.
“This man’s cultivation level is not low. He has reached the peak of the True Immortal Realm!” This was the first thought that came to Ding Hao’s mind when he saw this man.
After that, he began to carefully size him up.
This man appeared to be in his forties or fifties. He was seven feet tall and had an ordinary appearance. He was the kind of person that could not stand out in a crowd.
But as soon as he came in, in addition to Ding Hao, Yi Gao, and others, he surprised everyone present, because he was the top master of the Crown Prince’s Mansion, Long Hong.
Moreover, he had another ident.i.ty. He was the Junior Protector appointed by the Crown Prince, Rong f.u.xing. His status was extremely high. It could be said that in the Crown Prince’s Mansion, his status was only second to the Crown Prince’s and the military counselor’s.
Long Hong rarely spoke and was not interested in these gatherings. Therefore, he rarely appeared at banquets like these. Who would have thought that he would actually appear today?
“Junior Protector Long, I didn’t expect you to be so interested in attending the banquet today. Come on, let me introduce someone to you…” Seeing this man, Crown Prince Rong Fu was stunned for a moment. He then smiled and led Long Hong to Ding Hao.
“Junior Protector Long, this is Ding Hao.” After Crown Prince Rong Fu introduced Ding Hao, he introduced Long Hong to him. “Brother Ding, this is Junior Protector Long Hong, who is also the No. 1 Master of our Crown Prince’s Mansion.”
“The No. 1 Master of the Crown Prince’s Mansion?”
Not far away, when Yi Gao and the others heard this, their faces suddenly became shocked.
Ding Hao’s expression did not change, and he still smiled and nodded at this man.
Long Hong looked Ding Hao up and down and finally said lightly, “So you are Ding Hao. Well, no wonder so many guests were defeated by you…”
“Those were just friendly compet.i.tions.” Ding Hao still smiled.
“Friendly compet.i.tions? In that case, why don’t you and I have one?” A hint of fighting desire flashed in Long Hong’s eyes. Without waiting for Ding Hao’s answer, he looked at the Crown Prince and asked with cupped fists, “Your Highness, can we do it?”
Sure enough, he wanted to challenge Ding Hao.
Crown Prince Rong Fu smiled bitterly in his heart, but he still said, “I have no objection, as long as Brother Ding agrees…”
“Since Young Master Long is in such a good mood, I won’t refuse.” Ding Hao didn’t refuse and nodded in agreement.
He accepted the challenge.
Everyone’s eyes trembled when they heard this, and then a wisp of bright light flashed in their eyes. Obviously, they were extremely looking forward to the following battle.
It was recognized that Long Hong was very powerful. Few people could withstand a few moves from him, but Ding Hao was not weak either. He had defeated so many guests in a row. How could such horrible strength be ignored?
If the two of them were to fight, it would likely be a fierce battle.
“This place is too small. Let’s go out and fight!” After Long Hong said this, his figure trembled slightly. A gentle breeze blew, and he gracefully landed outside like a white shadow.
In just an instant, he appeared in the open s.p.a.ce outside.
“What a great body movement!” The crowd secretly praised and then turned their eyes to Ding Hao to see if he would make any moves. Ding Hao smiled and stepped out slowly.
He just walked out like that.
After arriving at the open s.p.a.ce, Long Hong stood there and looked indifferently at Ding Hao, who had just come over.
Everyone at the banquet, including Crown Prince Rong Fu, walked out of the reception room in a few steps and looked at the two.
“Young Master, do you think Ding Hao can defeat that man?” A guard of Yi Gao asked him with a hint of worry in his tone.
Yi Gao frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, “That man is the top master of the Crown Prince’s Mansion. The guests just now can’t compare with him. I’m afraid that it will be very hard for Brother Ding to win this battle!”
At the same time, Crown Prince Rong Fu, who was in the middle, also asked Military Counselor Wusun, “Military Counselor, what do you think of the battle situation between the two of them?”
Military Counselor Wusun stroked his beard and said slowly, “Your Highness, you also know the strength of Junior Protector Long. However, Ding Hao is not an ordinary man. In my opinion, the two of them both have a fifty-fifty chance of winning.”
“Fifty-fifty?” Crown Prince Rong Fu raised his eyebrow slightly, and his eyes glittered without end. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
The others were discussing this as well. However, practically all of them firmly believed that the victor would be Long Hong.
In their opinion, although Ding Hao was much stronger than them, he was still no match for Long Hong. After all, Long Hong was at the peak of the True Immortal Realm. Even in the Nine Spirits City, he could be regarded as one of the top masters.
In the field, the two confronted each other.
They did not release any power, but just standing there, they were as unshakable as a great mountain.
An oppressive atmosphere immediately spread from this place.
At this moment, Long Hong suddenly moved.
The power that belonged to the peak of the True Immortal Realm suddenly burst out, forming a violent storm that swirled in the open s.p.a.ce and rushed into the sky. Obviously, Long Hong did not dare to underestimate Ding Hao. From the beginning, he burst out his strongest power.
On the scene, a great wind whistled, and the Qi was in disorder.
A terrifying aura erupted from heaven and earth. All the experts present could clearly sense that terrifying killing intent.
The nearby experts were all overwhelmed by the pressure and could not breathe. Some of them could not help but take a few steps back to run their Qi to get back on their feet.
“How formidable!
“He deserves to be called the No. 1 Master of the Crown Prince’s Mansion. He is so powerful!”
.....Everyone’s eyes narrowed, filled with admiration and respect.
At the same time, their eyes fell on Ding Hao. They wanted to see how Ding Hao would deal with this force.
However, to their astonishment, Ding Hao was still as calm as before. This extremely horrible force did not seem to work on him at all. On the contrary, it went straight through him without any resistance.
Long Hong’s pupils also contracted, but he quickly recovered his senses. He immediately let out a roar that rumbled like thunder, shaking everyone’s eardrums.
Resplendent flames rose from his body. It was as if they could blot out the sky and illuminate the earth.
The heat waves were burning the earth. It seemed that they were going to swallow Ding Hao while rus.h.i.+ng over.
Ding Hao was a little surprised. Long Hong was indeed powerful. With just this move, he could probably kill an ordinary martial artist in the True Immortal Realm.
Just as the flames were about to engulf him, Ding Hao took a step forward, bringing with him a gust of wind. Like a terrifying divine weapon, it stabbed at the flames.
He pressed his two fingers together and stabbed them forward, shooting out shocking rays of sword radiance toward Long Hong.
The sword radiance and flames had just interwoven when violent winds raged while rays of light shot out in all directions. Waves of terrifying waves of light that carried the might to destroy heaven and earth swept out
