“So you insist on interfering in this matter?” Dugu Wu’s expression turned even more unsightly when he saw Meng Chuan preparing to fight. He was certain Duan Ling Tian had told Meng Chuan he was a titled Celestial Emperor, and yet, Meng Chuan was undeterred. Based on this, he knew his opponent had to be a titled Celestial Emperor as well.
This made Dugu Wu reconsider his plan for a moment. Put Meng Chuan aside, Duan Ling Tian was likely not any weaker than a titled Celestial Emperor. Otherwise, how could Duan Ling Tian kill his brother, Dugu Wen? Moreover, Dugu Wen, the Hundred Variant Celestial Emperor, was not weak. Even if Duan Ling Tian used tricks or other means to kill Dugu Wen, there was no doubt Duan Ling Tian was not simple.
At this moment, Meng Chuan scoffed. Following that, he swept toward Dugu Wu like a tide of waves as tens of thousands of turquoise energy swords shot out as well.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Meng Chuan’s aura was so domineering that Dugu Wu’s expression changed immediately. He could tell Meng Chuan’s strength was at least on par with his. Not only did Meng Chuan manage to fuse three profundities from the law of water, but Meng Chuan had also fused two other profundities from the law of water. With the two fusion profundities and individual profundities, Meng Chuan was on par with him.
“Senior, if you don’t intervene in my conflict with Duan Ling Tian, I promise I’ll owe you a favor!” Dugu Wu said. His heart sank when he discovered Meng Chuan’s strength. He had assumed Meng Chuan was weaker than him earlier. At this moment, killing Duan Ling Tian had become his second priority. The most important thing was to leave unharmed. After all, even if he did not kill Duan Ling Tian now, he was not certain Meng Chuan would let him go.
Swoosh!
As soon as Dugu Wu’s words fell, Duan Ling Tian teleported and appeared behind Dugu Wu. In just a second, he released the two Ning Dragons in his Little Word. He had spoken to the World Cleansing Divine Water earlier and requested it to ask the Ning Dragons to attack as soon as they were released.
The Ning Dragons roared and jointly attacked Dugu Wu as soon as they appeared.
Swoosh!
A terrifying energy that caused the void to quake in its wake shot toward Dugu Wu’s back. This joint attack by the Ning Dragons was not weaker than that of an ordinary titled Celestial Emperor.
Dugu Wu narrowed his eyes and instantly reverted to a towering bamboo tree in just an instant to defend against the Ning Dragons and Meng Chuan’s frontal and back attacks respectively.
Boom!
A loud noise rang in the air as the towering green bamboo rooted itself in the ground, sitting up dust. The earth quaked violently at the same time.
“So this is the Tenacious Heavenly Bamboo?” Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow as he looked at Dugu Wu’s original form.
“A Tenacious Heavenly Bamboo?” Meng Chuan said in an even tone, “I’ve heard that the Tenacious Heavenly Bamboos’ defenses are almost indestructible. Let me see if that’s true!”
Meng Chuan’s body flickered as he shot out again with his sword in hand. At the same, the turquoise energy swords he manifested fell like torrential rain.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this time, the surging waves beneath Meng Chuan’s feet and the Ning Dragon’s joint attack landed on the towering bamboo. It swayed and bent low as it got caught in the two attacks. At one point, it was bent so far back that it seemed like it was going to snap into two. However, green energy surged out at the critical moment and seemed to boost its strength.
Following that, the energy swords fell on the bamboo. The force was so strong and terrifying when the energy swords landed on the bamboo that it seemed capable of eliminating everything that stood in its way.
After the dust settled, Duan Ling Tian saw the Tenacious Heavenly Bamboo remained unharmed.
Dugu Wu’s confident voice rang from within the bamboo. “Senior, if we fight, it’d only end in a tie. Even if you and Duan Ling Tian work together, it’ll still be difficult for you to kill me due to my original form.”
Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes when he heard Dugu Wu’s words. He had been shocked when he saw how sturdy the Tenacious Heavenly Bamboo was. ‘No wonder he dares to use the title Indestructible Celestial Emperor. It’s indeed a fitting title…’
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes shone with killing intent. He knew this was the best chance for him to kill Dugu Wu. With Meng Chuan around, he was confident both of them would be able to kill Dugu Wu. However, that was only if he used the Five Divine Elements’ strength. How could he risk exposing the existence of the Five Divine Elements in his body?
Although Meng Chuan was a member of the Heavenly Emperor’s force in the Solitary Destructive Heaven and he had been nothing but nice to Duan Ling Tian, Duan Ling Tian was not sure if Meng Chuan would covet the Five Divine Elements. Therefore, to err on the side of caution, he decided not to take the risk.
“You think I can kill you?” Meng Chuan looked at the Tenacious Heavenly Bamboo from afar. As his robes fluttered in the air, he said with a faint smile, “Take this!”
The blue energy suddenly surged and formed a seemingly translucent humanoid figure around Meng Chuan.
Meanwhile, Meng Chuan wielded the sword with both hands and pointed the tip at the sky. In the next moment, a turquoise energy sword shot out of the Emperor Grade Celestial Sword and shot into the sky.
The gigantic figure followed suit after a sword formed in its hand. Similar to Meng Chuan, a turquoise energy sword ray shot out as well.
“Our Lord Heavenly Emperor taught me a method to merge two techniques from a fused Profundity. It’s called the Mixed Elemental Sword… Let’s see if the Tenacious Heavenly Bamboo will remain indestructible faced with my Mixed Elemental Sword!” Meng Chuan said nonchalantly as he brandished his swords.
Swoosh!
Following that, the giant figure’s sword imitated Meng Chuan’s move.
“The Mixed Elemental Sword?!” Dugu Wu’s expression changed drastically when he heard Meng Chuan’s words. He exclaimed in shock, “Y-you’re from the Heavenly Emperor’s force in the Solitary Destructive Heaven?”
The Mixed Elemental Sword was a technique created by Feng Qing Yang, the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. It drew on the strength of fused profundities and was incredibly effective in taking down strong defenses. It could even take down the defenses of an opponent who was stronger, let alone Dugu Wu whose strength was on par with Meng Chuan’s strength.
This was a perfect situation for the Mixed Elemental Sword to display its power.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, the turquoise energy sword landed on the Tenacious Heavenly Bamboo despite the bamboo’s attempt to avoid the attack. It was cleanly cleaved into two from the top to the bottom.
As soon as the Tenacious Heavenly Bamboo was cleaved into two, the ground where the bamboo was rooted suddenly split open and formed a wide chasm.
“Trying to recover?” Meng Chuan said contemptuously when he saw the Tenacious Heavenly Bamboo trying to heal itself.
At the same time, blue energy exploded around the Tenacious Heavenly Bamboo, reducing it to ashes.
“No!” Dugu Wu’s cry of despair rang loudly in the air.
“It seems like the Tenacious Heavenly Bamboo’s defenses are just average,” Meng Chuan said nonchalantly as he put his sword away.
At the same time, the translucent humanoid figure and its sword vanished as well.
“So powerful!” Duan Ling Tian thought he would need to borrow the Ning Dragons and the Five Divine Elements’ strength to kill Dugu Wu even if he worked together with Meng Chuan. He did not expect Meng Chuan to kill Dugu Wu so easily with just a strike from the Mixed Elemental Sword. The Mixed Elemental Sword’s offensive power was weaker than the offensive power of Meng Chuan’s previous attacks. However, the Mixed Elemental Sword specialized in destroying defenses.
“The Mixed Elemental Sword?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened as his heart raced in his chest. “Senior Feng Qing Yang created this technique?”
