Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 959 - Back Then...

Chapter 959 Back Then...

Ding Hao pieced together the golden Sun God Armor.

“It’s strange. This armor is quite interesting.”

There was a flash of surprise in Ding Hao’s eyes. The shape of this armor was extremely strange. It could cover almost every part of the body. The dense scale armor even could cover the fingers, the neck, and other parts. The body in this armor would seem to be covered with a golden thin film.

This style of armor was completely different from the armor styles on the Eastern Continent or even on the Land of Infinity. In Ding Hao’s memory, it seemed to be more similar to the medieval armor worn by western knights on Earth in his previous life, covering every part of the human body except for the eyes.

After every part of the armor was connected, there seemed to be a living medieval knight standing in front of him.

“Well? Why does it look a little bit like...” The Rusted Sword floated over. The Sword Master suddenly seemed to recognize something and exclaimed.

“Well? Old bastard, do you also think that this armor is a little familiar?” The Devil Saber floated in the void. The Saber Master’s voice sounded and she was always provoking the Sword Master.

The Sword Master didn’t talk back this time. He said in an even more surprised tone, “Is it really that armor? Its aura is similar to that one, but its shape is completely different!”

“What did you find, Sir and Madam?” Ding Hao felt there was something about the armor from their words. He asked them in a hurry.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The back of the Devil Saber heavily patted Ding Hao’s forehead three times.

The Saber Master’s angry voice sounded. “You called me Madam! Call me Saber Fairy. I’m still a girl... Let me observe it first. If it’s really that thing, you’re really lucky. Its value is no less than that of an immortal medicine catalyst.”

Ding Hao covered his forehead and did not know whether to laugh or to cry.

The Devil Saber shook slightly, and a wave of Divine Senses spread out from it and gently covered the golden armor. After a while, the Saber Master said, “Old bastard, I can’t do it alone. Please help me.”

“Ahahaha, I’m waiting for you to beg me, crazy woman,” the Sword Master laughed cheerfully. He released a wave of Divine Senses from the Rusted Sword and it swept over the golden armor as if it were scanning the armor.

After about 30 minutes, the Saber Master and the Sword Master both stopped.

“What did you find? What did you find?” Ding Hao couldn’t wait to ask them.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, it’s really that thing. It’s too damaged and has been changed by some stupid people. Even an old woman... no, a Saber Fairy like me has almost made a mistake about it.” The Saber Master was so excited that she almost called herself an old woman. She, who paid much attention to her own image, quickly changed the way to address herself.

The Sword Master also sighed with emotion, “So many years have passed. I thought everything in our era was lost in oblivion. I didn’t expect to see this old guy in this place. But it was really unlucky. Its soul has been destroyed, leaving only a shell, which has been refined by someone.”

“It was contaminated with too much blood and karma back then. It couldn’t escape such a fate. Even it has fallen to such a state. I’m afraid that the body and soul of its owner at that time had both been destroyed,” the Saber Master lamented and her tone was a little heavy.

“But why did it appear in the hands of a man from the God’s Palace? Could it be...” The Sword Master had a bad guess.

The Saber Master sneered and said, “Old bastard, don’t make wild guesses. Maybe it was buried in the ruins and was accidentally discovered by people from God’s Palace. No one could escape that disaster, even our owners... It was just a coincidence.”

The Sword Master paused and sighed, “What you said makes sense... You crazy woman, call me old bastard again and I’ll fight desperately with you. I’m several hours younger than you.”

The Saber Master laughed loudly and said, “You still have the nerve to say that you are a few hours younger. All right, I will stop calling you old bastard.”

The Sword Master was gratified.

The Saber Master continued, “From today on, I’ll call you young bastard.”

The Sword Master was speechless.

Ding Hao was also speechless.

Ding Hao shook his head and paid no more attention to the bickering of the two old monsters.

“From what they said, the golden armor is actually an antique as old as the Saber Master and the Sword Master? There was too much information contained in their lamentations. They have vaguely mentioned their era and their owners. What kind of past events were those?”

Ding Hao guessed that after this armor was obtained by the God’s Palace, it must have been refined again by a master refiner in the God’s Palace. After that, Ding Chulin began to use it. Because its appearance had been changed, the Saber Master and the Sword Master did not recognize it at first.

As for the events in that era that the two old monsters talked about, Ding Hao knew that if he asked about them, they would not tell him. He just thought for a moment and turned his attention to the golden armor. He asked, “What is the origin of this armor?”

The Saber Master calmed down and said, “It is a very ancient thing. You can’t imagine how ancient it is. When it was in its heyday, it was absolutely invincible. There were very few things in this world that can subdue it...” Speaking of this, the Saber Master added proudly, “Of course, it had to avoid having a conflict with me. Haha... Unfortunately, with the passage of time, it lost too much power. Its spiritual intelligence has been lost, and it is almost decaying.”

Ding Hao was speechless.

“You said that the armor was almost decaying, but it can resist the suppressive power of the rules between heaven and earth. It is almost indestructible. Ding Chulin was almost invincible in the void of the cave. If it was in its heyday, wouldn’t a pig in this armor defeat everybody?”

“It has not completely lost its spiritual intelligence. It seems that there is a little instinctive consciousness left. Otherwise, it’s impossible for it to yield and break down immediately after sensing my mighty and domineering aura... Hahahaha!” the Sword Master interrupted.

“Young bastard, you’re so shameless. It was clearly afraid of the aura of the corpse of the immortal in the Rusted Sword.” The Saber Master said disdainfully, “Mighty and domineering, my ass.”

The Rusted Sword suddenly trembled wildly and chopped down directly at the Devil Saber. The Sword Master gnashed his teeth and said, “Little Chap Ding, don’t stop me today. I’m going to kill this crazy woman. Today, only one of us can...”

“Don’t stop me?” Ding Hao covered his face. It was so obvious that the Sword Master wanted Ding Hao to stop him quickly.

Ding Hao had no choice but to cooperate with him.

Ding Hao quickly grabbed the hilt of the sword and persuaded him kindly. “Calm down, calm down. The impulse is a devil. By the way, Sword Master, you mean that it was very afraid of you at that time?”

The Sword Master softened his attitude when he was given an out. He looked angry when he said, “If you hadn’t stopped me, I would have taught this bitch a lesson... Haha, of course, in the battle in the Sky Impasse Valley, I beat it into fits... Alas, it’s not easy to meet an old acquaintance, but it looks like this. Time is really ruthless.”

Speaking of this, the Sword Master said with melancholy, “Little Chap Ding, can you imagine it? A man has lived for too long. His relatives and friends, or even all the people he knows, have died. It’s not easy to meet an old acquaintance, but it’s just a corpse. I feel so lonely. So, sometimes it’s not a good thing to live forever.”

The Saber Master also sighed. It was rare for her not to ridicule the Sword Master.

It seemed that she had the same deep feeling.

Ding Hao nodded.

That was to say, there was still the last trace of hazy primitive consciousness left in the armor. When the Rusted Sword released its power in the passageway and stabbed Ding Chulin in the chest, it felt the existence of the Sword Master. It broke down automatically because it was unwilling to fight against its old friend.

It was too much of a coincidence.

Ding Chulin was unlucky. Originally, with such a set of armor, he couldn’t be defeated, but something like this happened. The armor broke down and left him. He fell into a desperate situation in an instant and was nearly killed by Ding Hao.

“Thanks to the True Phoenix Annihilation Sword exerted by your confidante. It has shattered the dark mark imprinted in the armor by someone and has freed the armor, which could break down at the critical moment...” said the Saber Master.

She pointed out that Xie Jieyu used a technique in which a huge sword emerged from a purple light disc. It was actually a terrible forbidden move that could destroy everything. After the explosion, the shock waves produced were too terrifying. They had directly destroyed the dark mark imprinted in the armor by someone mysterious, which led to what happened later.

Otherwise, with the existence of the dark mark, the armor would never leave Ding Chulin’s body so easily.

Ding Hao somewhat understood it.

“No wonder that explosion could create such horrible shock waves. Xie Jieyu was seriously injured and fainted after one move, and Ding Chulin was sent flying backward by the violent force. His mouth and nose were bleeding. There was such a cause behind this. In this way, the black hole of flowing light that sucked Ding Chulin’s head away at that time should be the dark power that the Saber Master has mentioned.

“Who can possess such dark power?”

Ding Hao vaguely felt that the God’s Palace on the East Continent was absolutely not as simple as it seemed to be.

“This is the so-called coincidence. Little Chap Ding, let me teach you how to refine this armor and restore its original appearance,” the Sword Master sighed and said, “It ends well for it to be obtained by you. In this way, it won’t be a waste of its previous reputation.”

The Sword Master read out a pithy formula and then pointed out the core part of the armor.

Ding Hao recited the pithy formula in his heart. After comprehending it for a long time, he felt that it was almost time. Under the guidance of the Sword Master, he began to refine the golden armor. Bi Fang’s Fire emerged from his palm and enveloped the entire armor.

Ding Hao activated the flame with the esoteric meaning contained in the pithy formula and refined the armor.

At first, there was no change in the golden armor at all. Bi Fang’s Fire, which was powerful enough to instantly kill a master at the initial stage of the Martial Sage Realm, could not even leave a trace on the body of the golden armor. But as time went by, the golden patterns on the surface of the armor gradually softened, rippling like liquid.

“That guy from the God’s Palace is really stupid. He did something superfluous. He has gilded the surface of the armor with Shimmering Divine Gold. The appearance of the armor has been beautified, but its power has been restrained. He has also wasted so many divine materials. I don’t know which idiot had such an idea...” The Sword Master looked very angry and cursed the foundryman of the God’s Palace who had once refined the armor again.
