Chapter 2238 - 2239: Master and Disciple Reveal Themselves!
The energy of the All-heavens level spread in all directions, and the clash between Di Kun and the middle-aged man left the area in ruins.
Di Luan, Di Huo, and Di Cun were still searching for Ye Qiu’s tracks.
"He’s definitely still nearby. Heaven and earth around here have already been sealed off by Ninth Brother. If he wants to leave, Ninth Brother will surely know," Di Huo said.
The three of them began carefully searching, overturning every grain of dust under their feet.
A large number of disciples from the Heavenly Palace surrounded the place. All were Heavenly Palace elites, clad in battle armor, looking extremely imposing.
The onlookers around unconsciously backed away.
The main reason was that the group of Heavenly Palace disciples emerging from the Heavenly Palace had an incomparably terrifying aura. All of their auras merged into one, forming a whole rather than individuals, completely not inferior to the pressure of an All-heavens-level powerhouse.
They ringed the sealed-off heaven and earth like copper walls and iron ramparts that no one could overstep.
Seeing such a formation, no one believed that the middle-aged man could leave alive.
Just the few Sons of the Heavenly Emperor alone were enough to make him hard-pressed to resist.
If these neat and orderly Heavenly Palace elites were to combine their attacks, it was entirely possible for them to rival the All-heavens Realm.
At this moment in the sky, Di Kun and the middle-aged man had already fought over a thousand exchanges, yet they were still evenly matched.
Locked onto by Di Kun, it was extremely difficult for the middle-aged man to leave; Di Kun would never give him the chance to break the seal.
In this way, he could only be entangled by Di Kun.
The longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for him. The middle-aged man understood this in his heart. Moreover, this was right in front of the Heavenly Palace’s mountain gate. Coming here to rescue someone was like pulling teeth from a tiger’s mouth to begin with.
One misstep, and he might very well lose his life.
He could not allow himself to be tied down; otherwise, he would be completely left behind here.
Right now it was only Di Kun alone that had him this hard-pressed. If any other Son of the Heavenly Emperor appeared, he would be defeated in an instant.
The middle-aged man did not want to tangle with him any longer and began thinking of every possible way to break the sealing power here.
Whoosh.
The small boat flitted about in the air. After dodging one of Di Kun’s strikes, the middle-aged man gathered five layers of power and blasted toward the sealing energy.
Bang!
The surrounding heaven and earth seemed to tremble. The middle-aged man’s expression changed. This sealing power was incredibly strong; he had not been able to break it with a single blow.
"Trying to leave?" Di Kun had already seen through the middle-aged man’s intent. But the seal he had set was not something just anyone could break. Even Martial Artists of the same realm would have to exert their full strength for a chance to shatter it.
As a Son of the Heavenly Emperor, he had stepped into the All-heavens level many years ago. His comprehension of the Grand Dao had reached a certain height, allowing the seals he set to far surpass those of many other All-heavens-level powerhouses.
The middle-aged man had already experienced Di Kun’s strength during their fight; he was a very formidable opponent.
But if he couldn’t break the seal here, things would be difficult.
The middle-aged man was anxious. The more time they wasted, the greater the danger.
"I told you, you’re not getting away." Di Kun let out a cold laugh and once more turned into a streak of flowing light, killing his way forward in an instant.
The two clashed fiercely again, various moves and Cultivation Techniques unleashed in full, causing continuous explosions throughout the sealed area.
Ye Qiu and Miao Shan, who were hidden inside the Grand Imperial Bell, watched the situation before them and decided to strike immediately.
The two exchanged a glance, then both leapt out of thin air.
Miao Shan charged straight at Di Kun.
Ye Qiu went to intercept Di Luan, Di Huo, and Di Cun, buying Miao Shan time.
Miao Shan’s sudden assault did not surprise Di Kun too much. At his level, his state of mind was as solid as rock. It was rare for anything to affect his composure.
Most of the time, he remained calm and unruffled.
The middle-aged man, however, was somewhat astonished. He hadn’t expected there to be others hidden on this battlefield. But when he saw that it was Miao Shan, the middle-aged man seemed to understand.
He knew Miao Shan and had heard of Miao Shan’s relationship with Ye Qiu.
His gaze swept around, and he immediately spotted Ye Qiu on the other side.
Swish.
Miao Shan’s attack came very fast, his qi piercing the sky like a rainbow as he pounced forward, surging power pouring down in a torrent.
The middle-aged man naturally would not let slip this excellent chance to join forces against Di Kun. He immediately activated the strongest offensive method in his body, injecting nine layers of power, forming a pincer attack with Miao Shan from front and back.
Boom, boom.
In an instant, the spot where Di Kun stood turned into a blazing sea of fire.
On the other side, Ye Qiu suddenly appeared and even took the initiative to attack. Di Luan, Di Huo, and Di Cun, the three Sons of the Heavenly Emperor, were stunned for a moment, then immediately circulated the power in their Dantian, preparing to surround Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu was one of their primary targets. As long as Ye Qiu showed himself, their objective would be considered achieved.
Right now, naturally, they had to capture Ye Qiu.
"Ant, we’ve been waiting for you for a long time." Di Huo said with disdain. He was the closest to Ye Qiu, so naturally he would be the first to collide with him.
Most of Ye Qiu’s spiritual power was focused on Di Luan. Di Luan’s cultivation was at the All-heavens level and could threaten Ye Qiu, but as for Di Huo, he didn’t care.
"Get lost." Faced with Di Huo’s attack, Ye Qiu simply swept his arm out, slamming it across with a fierce swing.
"You dare ignore me." As a dignified Son of the Heavenly Emperor, when had he ever been ignored by anyone? Di Huo was furious to the extreme. The power of a Supreme Saint gathered entirely in his hands, and he immediately blasted toward Ye Qiu.
Yet after the terrifying energy he unleashed drowned Ye Qiu, before he had time to feel pleased, whoosh— a black shadow shot out, and in the next instant Di Huo’s facial features twisted together.
He lowered his head to look at his chest. Not only had Ye Qiu not died, he had suddenly burst out and punched a large hole in Di Huo’s chest.
"Impossible. Your aura is that of a Supreme Saint. How can you be completely unscathed?"
What shocked Di Huo the most was not the wound on his body, but the perfectly fine Ye Qiu before his eyes.
He had used nine layers of power and still hadn’t managed to injure Ye Qiu in the slightest. As a Son of the Heavenly Emperor, how could he accept such a fact?
It could only make him feel like he was too much of a piece of trash.
Ah!
Di Huo’s fury rose again, but the only response he got was Ye Qiu’s swift and vicious slap, which sent him flying.
"What are you screaming for? You think having a loud voice means anything?" Ye Qiu withdrew his palm, his gaze shifting and landing on Di Cun, who had already drawn near.
Di Cun’s strength was about the same as Di Huo’s; they were basically on par. Seeing the state Di Huo ended up in when facing Ye Qiu, Di Cun knew that if he went up, he would definitely be kneeling as well.
Meeting Ye Qiu’s eyes, Di Cun suddenly stopped and did not dare move forward.
"I’ll handle him." Di Luan’s voice sounded from behind, and Di Cun let out a sigh of relief. With Di Luan taking action, it was much safer than him going up.
"Thirteenth Sister, I’ll leave this one to you." Di Cun immediately stepped aside without the slightest hint of shame. Letting a woman charge ahead in his place would absolutely earn scorn from others.
But Di Cun knew that Di Luan’s strength was second only to Ninth Brother Di Kun’s. Even among all the Sons of the Heavenly Emperor, she ranked among the top few experts.
Anyone who underestimated her just because she was a woman would be making a colossal mistake.
The terror of Di Luan was something only those who had experienced it personally would understand.
