Chapter 2237 - 2238: Emperor Kun! Midnight
"Hold on!"
Emperor Kun suddenly spoke, his words as if the laws of heaven and earth, causing the executioners to immediately stop their knives.
"Oh, interesting, it seems this little guy was pretending to be muddle-headed before, and now, facing the terror of life and death, he has completely exploded." Emperor Fire remarked.
"It seems this method is quite good, able to stimulate new test subjects." Emperor Luan laughed.
The little boy blackened, surrounded by a violent aura, his eyes entirely black, looking extremely frightening even to the executioners, who dared not approach and immediately took a few steps back.
Bang!
The restraints on the little boy suddenly burst open under the power of blackening, and he freed himself from them.
Now free, the little boy turned and ran; despite his blackening, he was not controlled by the will to slaughter, but was very clear-headed, aware of his current predicament, knowing that escape was most important.
"Trying to run?" Hong Luan sneered, immediately tossing her arm, a red ribbon flying from her body, instantly wrapped around the little boy, continuously pulling him back.
The little boy struggled desperately to break free, but unfortunately, it was useless; his strength was ultimately too weak, even though he could blacken at a young age, it still did not change his current situation.
Blackening increases strength based on the Martial Artist himself, yet the little boy hadn’t even stepped into true martial arts, merely awakening blackening instinctively, which could at most allow him to exert far beyond ordinary human strength, but in front of someone like Hong Luan, who possesses celestial-level power, escape was impossible.
Emperor Kun, Emperor Fire, and Emperor Inch did not move, because they knew that once Emperor Luan made a move, there was no chance for the little boy to escape.
Just as the little boy was about to be pulled to Hong Luan, suddenly, an abnormal change occurred.
A stream of light flashed out of thin air, instantly severing the red ribbon in Hong Luan’s hand.
The little boy disappeared, and then Emperor Kun, who had remained motionless, suddenly spoke, uttering the word "seal," immediately enveloping this area in a force.
Causing the region to be instantly sealed.
A bang sounded.
A small boat manifested from the air, unable to leave here in the shortest time.
"That ant didn’t come, but it brought another big fish." Hong Luan stared at the flying treasure boat, at which point the previously blackened little boy was already standing on the boat, along with a middle-aged man standing beside him.
"What a pity, only one came; if all had come, it would have been possible to catch them all at once." Emperor Fire said regrettably.
"I know this guy. He escaped from our heavenly palace several times before. This time, he must not escape again." Emperor Inch said.
"Rest assured, Ninth brother is here; he won’t get away."
Emperor Kun looked at the middle-aged man on the boat, calmly saying, "Knowing I’m here, yet you dare to appear; I expect you know the consequences."
"It’s not so easy to keep me." The middle-aged man said.
"You ran last time; this time, you can’t escape no matter what." Emperor Kun also recognized the middle-aged man before him, knowing his strength, but still confident he could contain him.
The two did not say much, facing each other as mortal enemies.
To the Du Gu family, the heavenly palace meant what all Du Gu clan members knew, and the middle-aged man was one of the few powerful Du Gu members not caught.
He had not only repeatedly disrupted the heavenly palace’s attempts to capture Du Gu clan members but also killed many from the heavenly palace.
The heavenly palace had always wanted to eliminate him, seeing him as a thorn in the eye.
Emperor Kun swiftly struck, targeting the middle-aged man, while he maneuvered the small boat beneath him, weaving through attacks.
It seems the middle-aged man did not want to engage Emperor Kun.
While everyone’s attention was focused on the battlefield in the sky, little did they know that the few Du Gu clan members tied to the stone pillars, were silently disappearing one by one.
Initially no one noticed, until Emperor Luan angrily shouted, causing others to see that the Du Gu clan members previously tied up, had all vanished.
"It must be that ant, it must be that ant who came!" Emperor Fire shouted angrily.
Being able to hide silently before others and take away people, apart from Ge Tian’s treasure, the Tai Huang Bell, nothing else could achieve such a degree.
Emperor Luan, Emperor Fire, and Emperor Inch were all furious, they didn’t interfere with Emperor Kun and the middle-aged man’s battle because they believed Emperor Kun could handle it; they were merely spectators.
Yet now, someone secretly rescued people under their noses, which left them disgraced.
Three experts, one celestial level, and two supreme saints, failed to guard it.
What a disgrace!
"Find him, find him now."
The three were extremely angry, all releasing their spiritual power, probing, and tracking Ye Qiu’s shadow.
The disappearance of the nine Du Gu clan members was indeed Ye Qiu’s doing; he had been in the shadows all along, merely not acting, unexpectedly someone acted before him.
If it weren’t for the middle-aged man, it would definitely have been Ye Qiu who was exposed first.
However, at this moment, it’s best to have the middle-aged man draw Emperor Kun’s fire, otherwise he would face a celestial-level power.
With Ye Qiu’s strength increase and the birth of a new Artifact Spirit, the Tai Huang Bell’s internal space had expanded significantly; suddenly accommodating nine more people made the space quite cramped.
Zhuang Miao Shan was also inside the Tai Huang Bell at this moment, following the plan set by the two of them as master and disciple, with Zhuang Miao Shan attracting attention and Ye Qiu swiftly rescuing people.
However, plans couldn’t keep up with changes; the sudden appearance of the middle-aged man naturally changed their plan.
Now, Zhuang Miao Shan’s part was skipped.
"That guy dealing with him, seems to be struggling." Zhuang Miao Shan said, focusing on the battlefield outside.
At this moment, as long as Ye Qiu didn’t activate the Tai Huang Bell, Hong Luan and the others would have a hard time finding it, resulting in only identifying it bit by bit.
Ye Qiu’s attention wasn’t on Hong Luan and the others; like Zhuang Miao Shan, he was focused on the middle-aged man’s confrontation with Emperor Kun.
This middle-aged man appearing at a crucial moment must have an extraordinary connection with the Du Gu clan, otherwise he wouldn’t appear risking his life, though he found it difficult to escape now, tangled by Emperor Kun.
Ye Qiu observed the middle-aged man’s face, finding him somewhat familiar, seemingly seen before.
After recalling for a while, Ye Qiu suddenly remembered this person.
When he fought with Emperor Fifteen, this middle-aged man appeared, coming aboard the very small boat.
It was him!
Back then, Ye Qiu saved a few Guardians of the Du Gu clan, after which Emperor Fifteen fought fiercely with the people of the Black Shade Sect, intending to clean up the aftermath, yet this middle-aged man appeared; he remembered there were many people aboard that boat, Emperor Fifteen named them Du Gu remnants.
This was a guardian of the Du Gu clan, thinking of this Ye Qiu decided, he must not let this person die here.
