“Lei Ying!” The Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor cried out. He was standing closest to Lei Ying at this moment. Apart from that, he was also one of the few titled Celestial Emperors present who stood a chance of helping her. A dazzling sword ray shot appeared and shrouded him before he shot toward the seven-tier pagoda.
Bang!
At the moment, the You Feng Yu and the others moved, the seven-tier pagoda suddenly moved to face the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor’s attack.
Bang!
After an earth-shaking explosion died down, a terrifying scene appeared before everyone’s eyes.
They watched as the seven-tier pagoda descended, completely nullifying the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor’s energy, before it landed on his head. Just like that, his body exploded like a watermelon that had been dropped from the height of 10,000 meters. Apart from a mist of blood, even the remnants of his clothes could not be seen. The only things that remained were his Spatial Ring and his Celestial Sword that were blasted off into the distance.
Just like that, not counting Xu Ya Si, the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor, whose strength was second only to You Feng Yu in the Heavenly Pool Palace, died. Although the Cold Gloom Celestial Emperor’s strength was comparable to his, the Cold Gloom Celestial Emperor specialized in sneak attacks. Therefore, in a direct confrontation, the Cold Gloom Celestial Emperor might not be a match for him.
Lei Ying was in a daze. She did not expect the red-clad old man to be so powerful. She knew she had no hope against such strength. As she watched the pagoda return to her, there was only one thought left in her mind: only You Feng Yu could save her from the red-clad old man. She cried out, “Palace Master, save me!”
“Stay your hand!”
The death of the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor bought You Feng Yu time to move toward Lei Ying.
As for the other titled Celestial Emperor from the Heavenly Pool Palace, they did not recklessly make a move. After all, the red-clad old man killed the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor who was stronger than them. It would probably be futile even if they made a move. Perhaps, they might have stood a chance if all of them worked together. However, the death of the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor had shocked them so thoroughly that they were too afraid to make a move, afraid of ending up like the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor.
Swoosh!
You Feng Yu was indeed worthy of his title of being the strongest person in the Heaven Pool Palace. Even if Xu Ya Si’s strength was not inferior to his, it did not diminish his strength at all.
As You Feng Yu prepared to strike, a sword suddenly flew out of the second floor of the pagoda. The aura of the sword was piercing as it shot toward You Feng Yu.
“It’s the Jasper Celestial Sword!” Duan Ling Tian felt slightly emotional when he saw the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and the Jasper Celestial Sword again even if these were inferior to his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.
Many memories from the Saint Province Realm flashed in Duan Ling Tian’s mind as he looked at the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda that accompanied him for a long time in the mundane realm. There was also Elder Huo whom he treated like an elder. He had been greatly saddened in the beginning when he thought Elder Huo had perished. How could he not be emotional when he saw Elder Huo fighting using the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and the Jasper Celestial Sword again?
Swoosh!
Due to the sudden appearance of the Jasper Celestial Sword, You Feng Yu was forced to stop in his tracks even though the sword did not pose any threat to his life. Nevertheless, it could still seriously injure him. This brief interruption stopped him from helping Lei Ying in time.
“Seeking death!”
As the strongest person in the Heavenly Pool Palace, if he were to sustain a heavy injury, the situation would definitely be unfavorable for them. Under normal circumstances, he would have blocked the strike for Lei Ying. However, he could not afford to do so now. He did not even hesitate as he watched the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda fall on Lei Ying.
“No!” Lei Ying shrieked; her voice was laden with unwillingness. Her ending was similar to the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor.
At this moment, it was as silent as a graveyard.
In just a blink of an eye, two titled Celestial Emperors had perished. Moreover, these titled Celestial Emperors were considered one of the stronger ones in the Heavenly Pool Palace.
At this moment, You Feng You’s expression was gloomy as he asked Elder Huo, “Who are you, senior?”
“You’re not worthy to know who I am,” Elder Huo said indifferently.
You Feng Yu’s expression turned unsightly in just an instant. Nevertheless, he did not dare to act recklessly. Based on what he had seen, he was no match for the old man. He would only embarrass himself if he made a move now. In fact, he was not sure he could defeat the red-clad old man even if he joined forces with the others. Moreover, Xu Lang and his daughter had yet to make a move; he had to consider the father-daughter duo as well.
In the end, You Feng Yu said gloomily, “Senior, don’t you think your words are too rude? I’m assuming you don’t know my maternal grandfather is the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven?”
Elder Huo chuckled at You Feng Yu and said disdainfully, “That’s the only reason you’re still alive. Don’t tell me you think I couldn’t kill you earlier?”
“You…” You Feng Yu’s expression changed drastically as his eyes widened in shock. He did not expect the red-clad opponent to be aware of his identity. Then, what did it mean that the old man still dared to help Duan Ling Tian? Could it be that the old man was unaware that Duan Ling Tian had only offended the Heavenly Pool Palace previously, but had also offended his grandfather?
Nevertheless, You Feng Yu calmed down quickly when he recalled he had already sent a message to his grandfather and his grandfather was already on his way over. ‘Let’s see if this old man still dares to act arrogantly when grandfather arrives! Although he’s strong, his strength can’t compare to grandfather’s at all!’
Hong Fei asked in shock, “Little Junior Brother, who’s he? Since he kept standing behind you silently, I assumed he was your attendant. However, his strength is too frightening for him to just be an attendant, right? In fact, he’s even stronger than the Palace Master!”
Following that, several of his seniors asked the same questions. Hu Mei even added she had readied herself for death earlier.
Even Xu Lang and Xu Ya Si looked at Elder Huo in shock.
At this moment, You Feng Yu said gravely, “Senior, my grandfather is arriving soon. I advise you to stay out of this and hand him over. Don’t tell me you’re going to make an enemy out of my grandfather for a brat like him? I don’t know if you’re aware; this brat not only offended the Heavenly Pool Palace, but he has offended my grandfather as well… He released someone my grandfather personally imprisoned, causing my grandfather to be furious. In fact, my grandfather probably wants to kill that brat with his own hands.” He was clearly trying to intimidate Elder Huo with his grandfather.
Xu Lang and Xu Ya Si’s expressions changed slightly upon hearing You Feng Yu’s words. The duo urged Duan Ling Tian to leave through Voice Transmission, fearing he would be unable to do so once the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven arrived.
“Don’t worry, teacher.”
“Eldest Senior Sister, it’s good that he is coming. I can finally deal with this matter once and for all. I’ll help you eliminate the hidden danger around you as well…”
Even if Duan Ling Tian was not certain of his victory, he still would not have left. After all, if he left, he would implicate the father-and-daughter duo and his seniors.
Despite Duan Ling Tian’s reply and his obvious determination to stay, Xu Lang repeatedly urged Duan Ling Tian to leave.
As for Xu Ya Si, she looked at him probingly. She had a feeling he had a hidden trump card up his sleeve. After all, it was clear to her that he was brimming with confidence. She only wondered what was the source of his confidence. After all, the person he had to deal with was not an ordinary person; he was the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven after all.
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian’s other seniors sent his Voice Transmissions, urging him to leave as well.
