Chapter 3296: The Titled Celestial Emperors Attack

The Hundred Variant Celestial, Dugu Wen; the Indestructible Celestial Emperor, Dugu Wu. These two were famous in the Boundless Heaven’s Boundless Territory. They were even more famous than those titled Celestial Emperors who were stronger than them. They were not famous for their strength or talent, but they were famous for being assassins. Their fame grew even more due to their killing of many titled Celestial Emperors.

For the duo to show up in front of them, Hu Mei and Wen Wan’er naturally knew someone had hired the duo to assassinate one of them. Based on Dugu Wen’s words, it was clear that his target was Duan Ling Tian.

“They’re titled Celestial Emperors and assassins?” Duan Ling Tian finally discovered the duo was here to kill him after receiving the Voice Transmissions from Hu Mei and Wen Wan’er.

‘The assassins are here for me? Who did I offend in the Boundless Heaven?’ Questions began to appear in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. One could only imagine the cost of hiring two titled Celestial Emperors as assassins.

“Did you offend anyone?” Hu Mei asked through Voice Transmission.

“Third Senior Sister,” Duan Ling Tian replied, “Huan’er and I are not from the Boundless Heaven… Apart from the people in the Heavenly Pool Palace, I have no contact with the people outside. The only people I offended are a few prodigious disciples from the Heavenly Pool Palace. I can only think of them. However, it shouldn’t be easy to hire two titled Celestial Emperors to get rid of someone, right? Perhaps, out of everyone, only Han Yun Jin has the resources to hire these two assassins?”

“Han Yun Jin?” Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Hu Mei replied dismissively, “Little Junior Brother, you’ve overestimated Han Yun Jin… To be precise, you’ve grossly underestimated the cost of hiring Dugu Wen and Dugu Wu. Even if Han Yun Jin gives up everything he owns, he would only have half of what’s needed to hire these two people. There’s no way he’s able to afford them on his own. In the Heavenly Pool Palace, apart from the nine titled Celestial Emperors, I don’t think anyone has the means to employ the service of these two titled Celestial Emperors. Saying that, I don’t think the Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor and the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor would hire assassins to kill you just because you killed their disciples. If they really wanted to kill you, they would do so personally. After all, after killing you, at most, they would be expelled from the Heavenly Pool Palace. With their strength, even after leaving the Heavenly Pool Palace, other heaven-grade forces would gladly welcome them into their ranks.”

Duan Ling Tian grew confused after listening to Hu Mei’s words. If it was not Han Yun Jin or any of the titled Celestial Emperors in the Heavenly Pool Palace, who could it be? After pondering on the matter for a moment, he still had a feeling Han Yun Jin was behind this matter.

At this time, Dugu Wen, the Hundred Variant Celestial Emperor, looked at Xu Lang and said, “Xu Lang, we came for your seventh prodigious disciple. Hand him over to us, and we won’t act against you. Otherwise, we’ll have to see how strong the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor is today…” Nearing the end, his voice turned cold and threatening.

Swoosh!

As soon as Dugu Wen finished speaking, Duan Ling Tian vanished into thin air.

Dugu Wen’s eyes glinted coldly as he turned into a streak of light and gave chase. With his Divine Consciousness, he had locked onto Duan Ling Tian as soon as he had ascertained Duan Ling Tian’s identity.

On the other hand, Dugu Wu remained where he was standing, looking at Xu Lang menacingly. It was clear he would make a move if Xu Lang tried to intervene.

“Let’s return,” Xu Lang said faintly as he glanced at Dugu Wu. Then, he continued to lead Huan’er and the others back to the Heavenly Pool Palace. Although it might seem like he was heartless, having no intention to help Duan Ling Tian, the fact was that he was helpless. There was nothing he could do.

Rumor had it that Dugu Wen’s strength was not inferior to his, after all. He could send a message back to the Heavenly Pool Palace to ask for reinforcement, but he knew Dugu Wen would have killed Duan Ling Tian before reinforcement arrived.

Dugu Wu followed Xu Lang for half a day before he finally decided to leave. He had no intentions of attacking Xu Lang as long as Xu Lang did not try to save Duan Ling Tian. Moreover, if he engaged in a fight with Xu Lang, it would take a while for him to defeat Xu Lang. Now that half a day had passed, he was certain Xu Lang would intervene anymore so he decided to leave.

“You’re leaving?”

However, just as Dugu Wu was about to leave, Xu Lang suddenly made his move.

A sword ray shot out toward Dugu Wu.

“Xu Lang, how dare you attack me?” Dugu Wu sneered. “It requires at least a day for the titled Celestial Emperors of the Heavenly Pool Palace to arrive… Do you think you’ll be able to endure my attacks for so long?”

The old man, Dugu Wu, had white hair, and he was dressed rather sloppily. Nevertheless, it did not dampen the bloody and sinister aura he emitted.

“I’ve long heard about the Indestructible Celestial Emperor. Since we have the chance to meet today, I’d like to learn a thing or two from you.” Xu Lang’s eyes glinted as a three-foot-long green saber shot out of his hand. He emitted a formidable aura as he charged toward Dugu Wu along with his saber.

Dugu Wu scoffed before he made a move as well.

Dugu Wu let out a grunt and headed straight for it.

Meanwhile, Huan’er, Hu Mei, and Wen Wan’er retreated to the distance to watch.

Although Dugu Wu was slightly stronger than Xu Lang, it was impossible for him to gain the upper hand in a short time. Both of them were titled Celestial Emperors, after all. Moreover, Xu Lang was not an ordinary titled Celestial Emperor.

For these reasons, the three women were not worried Dugu Wu would attack them. After all, Dugu Wu would fall into a disadvantageous position if he shifted his attention away from Xu Lang to them.

…

After an hour…

An ear-piercing sword cry suddenly rang in the air.

Soon after, a sword ray shot down from the sky toward Dugu Wu.

Dugu Wu who was in the midst of fighting Xu Lang was caught off guard. There was nothing he could do even if he was aware of the incoming threat.

An ear-piercing sword howl suddenly rang in the air.

“Xu Lang, you tricked me!” Dugu Wu roared furiously. His body trembled for a moment as the sword ray descended and severed one of his arms. However, he was quick to reattach his severed limb. His Celestial Origin Energy surged and knitted his flesh together. As a Tenacious Heavenly Bamboo, he had comprehended the law of wood. These two factors were the reason why a severed limb was nothing to him. In just a blink of an eye, his limb was as good as new.

Swoosh!

At this moment, a figure suddenly descended from the sky and stood next to Xu Lang. It was none other than Zheng Yu Yi, the Copper Mountain Celestial Emperor, who had left the Title Temple ahead of the group from the Heavenly Pool Palace.

“Who are you?” Dugu Wu’s expression darkened as he looked at Zheng Yu Yi. It was out of his expectations that reinforcement would arrive within half a day. Moreover, this person was also a titled Celestial Emperor.

…

On the other side, another figure appeared near Huan’er, Hu Mei, and Wen Wan’er. It was none other than Nan Liu Feng, Zheng Yu Yi’s disciple. He asked, “Where’s Duan Ling Tian?”

“Little Junior Brother had lured Dugu Wen away,” Hu Mei said grimly.

Although Duan Ling Tian had sent them a message to inform them of his intention before he teleported away, Hu Mei could not help but worry. After all, he was only a titled Celestial Lord while Dugu Wen was a titled Celestial Emperor.

At this time, a hint of worry could be seen in Huan’er’s eyes. She had always been confident and managed to remain calm in the past, but it was different this time. How could Dugu Wen, a titled Celestial Emperor, be compared to their past opponents?

“Dugu Wen? The Hundred Variant Celestial Emperor? Then, this old man must be Dugu Wu, the Indestructible Celestial Emperor!” Nan Liu Feng exclaimed in shock when he heard Hu Mei’s words. His eyes were trained on the old man that was confronting his master and Xu Lang. He had followed his master here, not knowing anything. He only found out about their opponents’ identities after listening to Hu Mei’s words.

“Who did Duan Ling Tian offend? To think that person hired these two famous assassins just to get rid of him!” Nan Liu Feng was still in shock. Dugu Wen and Dugu Wu were famous. It was no secret that the cost to hire them was incredibly high. Moreover, just Celestial Crystals were not sufficient to hire them. One had to offer up something precious and rare as well.

…

Meanwhile, Zheng Yu Yi responded to Dugu Wu’s question, “Zheng Yu Yi.”

On the other hand, Zheng Yu Yi lightly replied to Dugu Wu’s inquiry.

“The Copper Mountain Celestial Emperor?” Dugu Wu frowned and asked solemnly, “Why are you here?”

He knew the Copper Mountain Celestial Emperor, Zheng Yu Yi, and the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor, Xu Lang, were good friends. As an assassin, he knew the connections between the titled Celestial Emperors in the Boundless Heaven very well.
