All the onlookers were caught off guard and instantly scrambled to gather their internal energy to resist. Those who were slow in their actions were immediately sucked into the vortex.
Only shrill screams could be heard, and those few individuals were shredded into a bloody mist by the vortex. The suction force of the vortex grew even stronger, and the eerie green glow radiating from within made it look sinister and ghastly, like a haunt of the underworld!
The three disciples of the Black Demon Sect who had been chasing Ding Hao were affected by the suction of this vortex and could no longer pose a threat to him. Their coordinated efforts were torn asunder by this force.
Everyone was in a state of panic, mustering all their strength to flee in all directions, desperate to escape from this vortex.
However, the suction power of this vortex was truly astonishing. Although most of them were mid-level Heart Stirring Realm experts, under the influence of this suction, their escape movements were as slow as a snail's crawl. A few early-level Heart Stirring Realm cultivators were already being slowly drawn towards the vortex!
Although Ding Hao was also affected by the suction, he already had the Reverse Heaven Demon Sword in hand. Thanks to the special function of this sword, he was the least affected by this formation!
This vortex was formed by a natural phenomenon and had a time limit. As long as it could be endured for a while, the vortex would disappear on its own. Ding Hao had learned a wide variety of things in the Limitless Demon Sect. Precisely because of the lack of profound cultivation methods in the Limitless Demon Sect, there were numerous miscellaneous books stored in the library. Ding Hao had painstakingly read through these books in his leisure time and thus knew the secrets of this vortex.
At this moment, everyone's situation was extremely critical. The disciples with weaker cultivation bases were crying out desperately, hoping that the experts in their sects would come to their aid. But at this moment, the selfish nature of the Demon Sect was fully manifested. In the face of the threat to life, the bonds of the sect and the feelings between lovers were nothing but trifles!
A disciple of the Soul Devouring Sect who was lagging behind was about to be sucked into the vortex. It was precisely because of the threat that his potential was aroused. This person somehow managed to grab the arm of a senior brother in front. The senior brother looked back and, without hesitation, cut off this person's arm with a sword. This person still had an expression of unwillingness on his face as he died, never expecting his senior brother to be so cruel!
There were two disciples of the Yin-Yang Harmony Sect who seemed to be a cultivation couple. The female disciple completely ignored the pitiful cries for help of her partner beside her. She directly bypassed this person and looked back at him with only a look of satisfaction in her eyes, without any trace of sympathy or pity!
The ugliness of human nature was fully exposed at this moment!
Ding Hao himself was no kind-hearted person. He had been enduring the Black Demon Sect people just now, waiting for precisely this moment. With such an excellent opportunity at hand, how could he let it pass easily? Moreover, among the disciples of several sects, he hated the Black Demon Sect the most. The people of this sect had repeatedly bullied the Limitless Demon Sect. How could he let them continue to be arrogant and complacent?
And at such a moment, everyone only wanted to get out of the vortex area quickly and didn't pay any attention to Ding Hao's actions!
Unconsciously, Ding Hao had gradually approached the Han disciple of the Black Demon Sect. When this person realized that the distance between him and Ding Hao was only a short span, a strange whistling sound suddenly rang out. A powerful sword glow burst out from the Reverse Heaven Demon Sword in Ding Hao's hand. Hundreds of sword shadows formed a sword glow that, like a spinning top, charged towards this person with a heaven-splitting aura.
This person saw that the sword glow was about to reach him and twisted his body with great effort, narrowly avoiding the sword glow's attack. But because he suddenly misused his internal energy, his body involuntarily accelerated towards the vortex. With a scream, he was already turned into a bloody mist by the vortex.
The people who had been fleeing with great difficulty finally realized Ding Hao's actions and all showed expressions of horror. They couldn't figure out why he still had the means to attack at this moment.
"You despicable villain! How dare you be so ruthless. My Black Demon Sect will never let you off!" When the other several Black Demon Sect people discovered the change here, the Han disciple was already reduced to bones. They could only issue a fierce threat, but such words seemed rather powerless at this moment.
"Heh heh, after this pass, all of you from the Black Demon Sect will end up like this. Even if your sect wants to take revenge, you won't be able to see it!" Ding Hao sneered when he heard their tough talk and slowly moved towards another person.
Seeing Ding Hao's actions, that person was even more panicked and struggled with all his might to move forward. However, after the vortex sucked in another person, the suction power suddenly increased. This person's face turned red, but he still couldn't stop the shortening distance between the two. His futile struggles were of no avail!
When this person finally appeared within Ding Hao's attack range, Ding Hao swept his sword at this person in the same way. This person could only watch helplessly as the sword glow penetrated his body. With a mournful cry, he met the same fate!
With this person's death, the other three Black Demon Sect disciples all showed expressions of fear. They secretly regretted why they had provoked such a fierce and evil person. But seeing their sect's disciples die one after another, they were powerless and it was too late to regret!
In just a short while, Ding Hao had reached the other two people!
Seeing Ding Hao approaching, the two showed expressions of horror, like drowning people struggling feebly. "Brother Ding, why do you have to be so overbearing? Although our sect has not been kind to you, considering that we are all from the Soul Refining Sect lineage, could you show mercy? We will surely remember your kindness today!" One of them begged bitterly.
"Oh? But when you were chasing and attacking me just now, it wasn't like this. The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest. I am just following the rules of the Soul Refining Sect Gathering. Don't blame me, gentlemen!" Ding Hao showed no mercy when he heard their plea and completely cut off their hope of survival.
The Reverse Heaven Demon Sword rose with billowing black smoke, like a strange snake devouring. In a moment, it swallowed the two of them. A moment later, the last person of the Black Demon Sect was also destroyed in the same way.
After annihilating all the participating disciples of the Black Demon Sect, Ding Hao finally had the time to look around. At this glance, he realized that the situation of everyone was not optimistic. Probably except for himself, everyone was desperately resisting the suction power of the vortex. This pass had not yet been passed, and several sects had already lost several people. It seemed that the Soul Refining Sect Gathering was truly extremely cruel!
It was not Ding Hao's style to let go of an opportunity. With a cold smile in his heart, Ding Hao began to slowly move towards the group of people from the Blood Fiend Sect.
Everyone had already been chilled by Ding Hao's ruthless means. Seeing him move towards the Blood Fiend Sect, they all let out a sigh of relief. But the faces of the people from the Blood Fiend Sect were extremely ugly. In just a short while, the group of people from the Black Demon Sect had been slaughtered. Because the Blood Fiend Sect had obviously targeted Ding Hao before, it was no wonder that Ding Hao would target their sect first.
"Brother Ge, what do you mean? Our sect has not attacked you. On the contrary, it was you who injured my junior sister first. Our sect doesn't want to argue with you too much. Do you still want to wipe us out?" Ge Tianxing of the Blood Fiend Sect saw that Ding Hao was up to no good and quickly spoke. Because he spoke suddenly while moving, his face was flushed red from the surging of internal energy.
"Brother Ge, you are overstating it. Just now, you specifically named me and wanted to have a contest with me. Isn't my doing exactly in line with your original intention? Where does the talk of wiping you out come from?" Ding Hao sneered and didn't stop his movement for a moment.
"Although I don't know what secret method you have to resist this vortex, but now we can only focus on resisting the suction of the vortex and have no ability to fight back. Even if you kill us, it won't be a glorious victory, right?" Seeing Ding Hao getting closer and closer, Ge Tianxing spoke again, his words a bit bitter.
"Brother, you are joking. When the three people from the Black Demon Sect attacked me just now, I didn't hear you say it was an unfair victory. Moreover, with your late-level Heart Stirring Realm cultivation wanting to fight with my Fusion Realm strength, isn't that what you call an unfair victory? Heh heh! It really broadens my horizons!" Ding Hao ridiculed.
As soon as the laughter fell, the sword glow had already penetrated this person's body!
Between laughter and conversation, Ding Hao killed several people. It was truly a great pleasure. Looking back, Lu Xueyun was staring at him with a look of fear and hatred!
Ding Hao snorted coldly and said, "Lu Xueyun, today you will surely die. I said last time that the next time we meet will be the day of your death. Heh heh, you even wanted to use others to kill me. You really had a good plan!"
"If I don't die today, I will surely ask the sect master to wipe out your entire Limitless Demon Sect!" Lu Xueyun said coldly, looking at Ding Hao.
"You won't have this opportunity!" Ding Hao said in a deep voice.
Just as he was about to make a move, his expression suddenly changed. It turned out that at this time, the suction power of the vortex suddenly decreased. In just a moment, the suction disappeared completely. And the vortex floating in the void suddenly rose and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if nothing had happened just now.
