Chapter 3415: A Furious Kong You Yi
A bone-chilling energy permeated the surroundings immediately. The cold was more intense than before since the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor did not hold back this time.
“Master, please show mercy!” Li Fei’s expression changed drastically as the bone-chilling energy swept toward Duan Ling Tian. She tried to move in front of Duan Ling Tian to block the attack for him but found that her feet had been frozen to the ground by the cold energy.
The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor had attacked Duan Ling Tian to stop him from hurting Kong You Yi. After all, Kong You Yi was the son of her senior brother, the Almighty Wind Celestial Emperor. It would be troublesome if Kong You Yi was injured. Alas, she was too late.
Duan Ling Tian was not bothered by the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s terrifyingly cold energy. In just a blink of an eye, the sword rays slashed both sides of Kong You Yi’s mouth.
When Kong You Yi tried to mobilize his Celestial Origin Energy to staunch the bleeding, he discovered he could not do so because he was restrained by the space energy. Without access to his Celestial Origin Energy, not only was he unable to staunch the bleeding, but he could not numb the pain as well. His face twisted in pain as he cried out miserably.
“Duan! Ling! Tian!” The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor roared. There was no mistaking her fury. The temperature in the surroundings plummeted immediately. At this moment, she was determined to teach Duan Ling Tian a lesson he would never forget.
As the cold energy was about to land on Duan Ling Tian, Li Fei cried out in horror, “No!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of thunderous explosions rang in the air just when the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s attack was inches away from Duan Ling Tian.
Flames that seemed to have woven themselves into a net appeared above Duan Ling Tian, blocking the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s attack.
The attack was easily stopped since the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor did not attack with her full strength. After all, she had no intention of killing Duan Ling Tian. Nevertheless, she did not expect her attack to be so easily deflected by the old man who trailed behind Duan Ling Tian like a subordinate.
At this moment, Elder Huo, who was shrouded in golden flames, stepped forward. “Purple Spike Celestial Emperor, do you think you’re qualified to teach my Young Master a lesson?!”
The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s expression darkened. She raised her hands and an ice spike that was roughly 10 meters long appeared out of thin air before shooting toward Elder Huo.
Swoosh!
The ice spike flew out like a released arrow.
The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor had focused her attack only on the red-clad old man by Duan Ling Tian’s side to avoid accidentally hurting or killing the others.
“Very well, if this is what you want!” Elder Huo narrowed his eyes. At the same time, his robes fluttered in the air. Soon enough, two flaming beams of light shot out of his eyes. The flaming lights merged and spun as it flew forward to meet the ice spike.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh
The flaming light collided with the ice spike silently. Both attacks vanished without a trace. Based on this, one could see the two opponents were equally matched.
At this moment, hints of fear flashed in the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s eyes when she looked at Elder Huo. She finally realized her opponent was at least as strong as her. Apart from that, she could also sense that Elder Huo was not human. To be precise, he should be a fire-type Celestial Beast. Most importantly, she could tell he was a top-tier Celestial Beast that was rather close to a Divine Beast. If Elder Huo had fought with her in his true form, she might not be a match for him at all. With this, she withdrew her bone-chilling energy immediately. Then, she looked at Li Fei with a gentle gaze and said, “Fei’er, stop your husband. Although You Yi was rude, he has already learned his lesson…”
When the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor looked at Duan Ling Tian, shock and disbelief were flashing in the depths of her eyes. She had assumed Duan Ling Tian was weaker than Li Fei since she was also under the assumption that his innate talent was not as high as Li Fei’s. However, after witnessing Duan Ling Tian’s attack, she realized she had been incredibly wrong.
Not only was Duan Ling Tian a One Basic Celestial Emperor who had not reached the age of 1,000 like Kong You Yi, but Duan Ling Tian had also comprehended all the profundities from the law of space to the mastery stage. Most importantly, he had also learned how to fuse his profundities! He was not even 400 years old but had managed such feats; it was truly unprecedented. At this moment, she realized Duan Ling Tian was a monstrous talent who made Li Fei and Kong You Yi pale in comparison.
Li Fei sighed in relief when she saw Duan Ling Tian was unharmed. At the same time, she looked at Elder Huo in slight surprise; she did not expect Elder Huo to be so powerful. When they were in the mundane realm, she had thought that Elder Huo had perished. Who knew that not only was Elder Huo alive, but he had also managed to leave the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and become so powerful that his strength was at least on par with the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor. After all, the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor was one of the strongest titled Celestial Emperors in the Heavenly Palace of the Floating Heaven. Although she was the youngest among the disciples of the Heavenly Emperor of the Floating Heaven, her strength was comparable to her seniors.
“Scoundrel, release him,” Li Fei said as she glanced at Kong You Yi. She could not help but laugh when she saw the injuries at the sides of his mouth.
At this moment, Kong You Yi’s voice had turned hoarse from all the screaming; he had grown quieter as well. Since the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor could not stop Duan Ling Tian, he could only look at Li Fei.
Swoosh!
Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow upon hearing Li Fei’s words before he withdrew the space energy.
Soon after, Kong You Yi’s injuries glowed with a green light. In just a moment, his injuries were healed. Since he comprehended the law of wood, it was easy for him to heal the injuries. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian had only inflicted shallow injuries on him.
After Duan Ling Tian withdrew the space energy, he looked at the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor and ignored Kong You Yi.
Flames of fury mixed with lingering fear rose in Kong You Yi’s heart as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. The flames of fury were stoked when he saw Duan Ling Tian disregarding him. However, he knew he was no match for Duan Ling Tian after experiencing Duan Ling Tian’s earlier attack. Although they were both One Basic Celestial Emperors, Duan Ling Tian’s comprehension of the law was far deeper compared to his. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian had comprehended the law of space, one of the Four Supreme Laws.
‘Impossible! Isn’t he the same age as Junior Sister Li Fei? Why is he so powerful?!’ Kong You Yi did not understand how Duan Ling Tian was so strong when Duan Ling Tian’s innate talent was supposedly lower than Li Fei. Was this the same man whom Li Fei constantly spoke about? At this moment, he felt as though Li Fei had deliberately tricked him. He had forgotten that it was his father who caused him to underestimate Duan Ling Tian.
“You Yi, it’s best if you leave first,” the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor said to Kong You Yi. Since Duan Ling Tian was the husband of her true disciple, Li Fei, it could be said this matter was only between them. There was no reason for Kong You Yi to stay here and make matters worse. Moreover, based on Duan Ling Tian and Elder Huo’s strength, she had a feeling they had an extraordinary background.
“Yes, Third Junior Aunt.” Kong You Yi naturally did not have any objection and left with an unsightly expression. He swore he would never forget the humiliation he had to suffer in front of the woman he liked because of Duan Ling Tian today.
‘Duan Ling Tian… You better watch out!’ Kong You Yi thought to himself furiously as he left.
