As titled Celestial Emperor assassins in the Boundless Heaven, Dugu Wu and Dugu Wen would not blindly accept anyone's orders.
They would not hesitate to kill titled Celestial Emperors who did not have a powerful background or connections.
However, they would not dare to kill titled Celestial Emperors like Xu Lang who had the support of a heaven-grade force like the Heavenly Pool Palace for fear of angering the Heavenly Pool Palace.
If they killed ordinary disciples of the Heavenly Pool Palace, even if they were the most outstanding prodigious disciples, it would only anger the Heavenly Pool Palace's titled Celestial Emperor.
However, if they killed a titled Celestial Emperor from the Heavenly Pool Palace, it would be akin to challenging the authority of the Heavenly Pool Palace. If the Heavenly Pool Palace sent out all of its titled Celestial Emperors, it would be a disaster for them.
Naturally, there were also some titled Celestial Emperors who did not dare to act recklessly.
For example, Zheng Yu Yi, the Copper Mountain Celestial Emperor, was currently standing in front of Dugu Wu.
Although Zheng Yu Yi did not belong to any heaven-grade force, his elder brother was one of the top three titled Celestial Emperors in a heaven-grade force.
Killing Zheng Yu Yi would be akin to offending the titled Celestial Emperor.
For this reason, Dugu Wu felt a headache coming on when he saw Zheng Yu Yi. He was not in the mood to continue fighting. All he wanted to do was to retreat.
However, Xu Lang and Zheng Yu Yi had no intention of letting him go.
"Since you're here, stay!"
Xu Lang said coldly.
Then, he joined forces with Zheng Yu Yi to attack Dugu Wu.
In the end, Dugu Wu was forced to reveal his true form. A Tenacious Heavenly Bamboo that looked like a pillar that could support the heavens descended from the sky and met Xu Lang and Zheng Yu Yi head-on.
"Xu Lang, Zheng Yu Yi, don't blame me for being rude if you continue to fight!"
In the end, the sullen Dugu Wu also became angry. He completely displayed his strength and turned the tables around.
However, when he had turned the tables around, he didn't launch another attack. Instead, he took the opportunity to retreat, not daring to continue fighting … With his strength, it would be extremely difficult for him to fight Xu Lang and Zheng Yuyi together.
If he dragged the battle on, Xu Lang might bring a titled Celestial Emperor from the Heavenly Pool Palace to help him. At that time, even he would have to die.
For this reason, he took the opportunity to flee.
"Xu Lang, that seventh disciple of yours is really a troublemaker … Even assassins like Dugu Wen and Dugu Wu are involved. Who exactly did he offend?"
Zheng Yuyi looked at Xu Lang and asked.
"I don't know."
As Xu Lang shook his head, his expression turned slightly gloomy.
Before his seventh disciple left, Duan Lingtian had communicated with him through Voice Transmission. For this reason, he knew his seventh disciple would not offend anyone in the Boundless Heaven apart from those from the Heavenly Pool Palace.
The most suspicious person was the disciple of the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor, Han Yun Jin.
However, as the saying goes, dirty linen should not be aired in public. Even though he suspected Han Yun Jin, he did not tell Zheng Yuyi.
"In that case … Dugu Wen went to chase after your seventh disciple?"
Zheng Yuyi asked again.
"Yes."
Xu Lang nodded. His eyes were filled with worry. Although his seventh disciple had said that he was confident before he left, he could not help but feel worried.
After all, although his seventh disciple was strong, he was only comparable to an ordinary Celestial Emperor at most.
However, Dugu Wen was not an ordinary Celestial Emperor. He was a titled Celestial Emperor!
"Thank you for your help … It's time for us to return."
Xu Lang bade farewell to Zheng Yuyi before he led the three girls back to the Heavenly Pool Palace. At this moment, he could not chase after Duan Lingtian even if he wanted to.
"Let's wait for Little Junior Brother's message … He said he'll send us a message as soon as he's safe."
Wen Wan 'er said.
Before Duan Lingtian left, he had told Xu Lang and the others through Voice Transmission that he would send them a message as soon as he was safe.
Although they wanted to ask about Duan Lingtian's situation, they were worried that Duan Lingtian would be distracted.
If a titled Celestial Emperor were to chase after him, even a slight distraction could put him in a perilous situation.
For this reason, even Huan 'er did not dare to rashly send a message to Duan Lingtian. She could only pray that her Brother Ling Tian was fine.
…
In the Boundless Territory.
Somewhere in the Boundless Territory.
"Brat, even if you've comprehended the Teleportation Profundity to the mastery stage, you still won't be able to escape from me!"
A young man moved as fast as a ghost. Although the person in front of him had traveled 2,000 miles in just a blink of an eye, he was still able to catch up to him.
Moreover, as time passed, the distance between them continued to decrease.
"As expected of a titled Celestial Emperor. He's really fast!"
The young man was none other than Duan Lingtian.
Duan Ling Tian teleported again and again in order to avoid the young man's pursuit. His expression turned slightly solemn as he did so.
"It's about time."
At this moment, the World Cleansing Divine Water's voice rang in Duan Lingtian's ears. "If you continue to flee, it'll take a long time for Duan Lingtian to catch up to you.
If you ask your teacher, Xu Lang, to stop Duan Lingtian for a while, "the World Cleansing Divine Water said.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Based on the World Cleansing Divine Water's words, it was clear that Xu Lang had been instructed by Duan Lingtian to stop Duan Lingtian.
However, even Duan Lingtian would not expect Xu Lang to ask Zheng Yu Yi to help him stop Duan Lingtian.
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian nodded when he heard the World Cleansing Divine Water's words. Then, he stopped teleporting and turned around to look at the young man who had appeared in front of him in just a blink of an eye.
"You should have done this earlier."
The youthful Dugu Wen looked at Duan Ling Tian as a cold smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. "However, since you didn't cooperate, I won't leave your corpse intact."
Based on Duan Lingtian's words, it was clear he had already treated Duan Lingtian as a dead man.
"You're just a flower in human form … How boastful of you. “
Duan Ling Tian smiled indifferently as a mocking smile appeared on his face.
"You're seeking death!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes turned cold as he moved. His Celestial Origin Energy surged out of his body before it turned green. Vines shot out of his body and shot toward Duan Lingtian like angry dragons.
As a titled Celestial Emperor, Dugu Wen was a Seven Stars Celestial Emperor. His Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted by the law of wood was extremely domineering.
In just a blink of an eye, Duan Lingtian felt an intense pressure weighing down on him. Duan Lingtian could not help but feel suffocated.
After taking a deep breath, Duan Ling Tian's face tensed up, and with a thought, a silhouette condensed into form around him. Shockingly, it was a small tree.
In the blink of an eye, that small tree grew rapidly and became a towering tree.
At first glance, the tree resembled a pine tree. However, the branches and leaves on the tree were completely different. They looked more like willows grafted onto the tree.
"The Pine Willow Divine Tree?"
Dugu Wen narrowed his eyes when he saw the silhouette that appeared on Duan Ling Tian. "You're not human?"
That's not right! You're not the Pine Willow Divine Tree! "
"It's the Godly Image Avatar!"
In just a blink of an eye, Dugu Wen discovered Duan Ling Tian's technique was the Godly Image Phenomenon of the Pine Willow Divine Tree.
In terms of grade, the Pine Willow Divine Tree was on par with the Hundred Colors Flower. It was comparable to a top-tier Celestial Beast.
"Brat, so what if you have the Godly Image Avatar of the Pine Willow Divine Tree? You're just a Celestial Lord. Even if you have a title, do you think you can fight a titled Celestial Emperor like me? "
Dugu Wen laughed in disdain, his tone filled with disdain.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
…
At the same time, Dugu Wen's technique, the vines that were like raging dragons, swept across the sky and charged toward Duan Ling Tian. It was as though he wanted to kill him immediately.
Duan Lingtian's expression remained calm in the face of Dugu Wen's ferocious attack.
After a while, a gray energy rose from his body and merged with the Godly Image Avatar of the Pine Willow Divine Tree.
At the same time, a rainbow-colored sword ray swept out from his body and merged with the Pine Willow Divine Tree's Godly Image Celestial Body, causing the branches and leaves of the Pine Willow Divine Tree to turn colorful.
"Clear Heavens Divine Wood!"
With just a thought, Duan Lingtian sent out a surge of energy from the Clear Heavens Divine Wood that merged with the Godly Image Avatar of the Pine Willow Divine Tree.
In an instant, the Pine Willow Divine Tree's Godly Image Celestial Body trembled and gradually solidified. In the end, it seemed to have turned into a real Pine Willow Divine Tree.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
…
The branches and leaves of the Pine Willow Divine Tree shook violently, bringing with them a seven-colored light. The seven-colored light contained a sharp killing intent as it met the vines that were whizzing towards them.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
…
A series of explosions rang in the air as the branches of the Pine Willow Divine Tree collided with the vines formed by Dugu Wen's energy.
Waves of shockwaves spread out, and small mushroom clouds bloomed one after another, looking incomparably resplendent.
When the mushroom clouds collided with the shockwaves, a series of deafening explosions rang in the air as though Mars had collided with Earth.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
…
A frightening energy ripple raged in the sky and spread down, causing the surrounding land to shake. It was as though an intense earthquake had occurred.
At the same time, countless cracks appeared on the towering mountain between Duan Lingtian and Dugu Wen.
After a while, the towering giant mountain shook for a while and directly collapsed. Like a high-rise building on Earth that was demolished by blasting, it fell to the ground one by one, raising a cloud of dust into the sky.
"I didn't expect you to be able to block my casual attack … Your attack is so powerful that it's comparable to the full-powered attack of an ordinary Celestial Emperor."
When the huge mountain fell, Dugu Wen's exclamation resounded at the right time.
