A half Holy Emperor and two low-level Holy Emperors. Such a powerful combination could do whatever they wanted in the Empyrean Fortress.
The half Holy Emperor was the one who had escaped from Yurou Fei and Sha Tian previously. His name was You Fengyuan, and he looked to be in his fifties. He was a wind-attribute cultivator.
The other two low-level Saints were Su Maimen and Wang Bo. One was an earth-attribute martial artist, while the other was a water-attribute martial artist. They were ancestor-level characters from two powerful forces, and had lived for more than ten thousand years.
The reason why they had appeared here was because the Yinba Sect's reward had increased. It was enough to tempt the Holy Emperor's people to make a move.
"I can already sense their presence. Looks like they're really fearless!" Su Maimen grinned.
"Even Brother You was defeated by him. How would he dare to be so arrogant if he didn't have some strength?" Wang Bo said. He paused for a moment before continuing, "In a while, Su and I will restrain the enemy's Saint Emperor. Brother You, you will capture that brat. As long as we capture that brat, our trip will be a success!"
"Rest assured, brothers. I invited you to help because I've figured out their background. Apart from the two Holy Emperors, the rest will not be a problem!" You Fengyuan patted his chest.
As they spoke, they had already arrived in the sky above Ling Xiao and the others.
Ling Xiao and the others looked at them calmly without any fear.
"It really is that brat. I really don't know what he did to make the Yinba Sect want to capture him at all costs!" Su Maimen looked at Ling Xiao disdainfully and muttered.
"Who cares? Let's capture him first!" Wang Bo responded. He actually ignored Yurou Fei and Sha Tian and stretched out a claw to grab Ling Xiao.
This claw caused the surrounding space to turn into a prison, rapidly locking onto Ling Xiao.
This wasn't the first time that Ling Xiao had experienced the might of the Holy Emperor, but it was the first time that the Holy Emperor had attacked him. That use of Spatial Force and that terrifying pressure made him feel as if the difference between his strength and that of the Holy Emperor was like the difference between heaven and earth.
"How dare you attack my husband! You're courting death!"
Yurou Fei shouted and unleashed her Dragon and Elephant Divine Art. The phantom of a Dragon and Elephant carried the power of Heaven's Might and shattered the claw of that person. The phantom of the Dragon and Elephant then rushed towards Wang Bo.
Wang Bo sneered, "What a beautiful woman. You've only just entered the Holy Emperor Realm, yet you dare to challenge me?"
Wang Bo had stepped into the Holy Emperor Realm for many years, so his strength was naturally much stronger than Yurou Fei's. He could see through Yurou Fei's strength with a single glance, so he was not afraid of Yurou Fei at all.
The powerful fluctuations caused Ling Xiao and Feng Qingyuan to have no choice but to retreat far away.
"Brat, you won't be able to escape. Originally, this old man had no enmity with you. If you want to blame someone, blame your status for not being low enough for this old man to take action!"
Su Maimen said faintly as he made his move towards Ling Xiao and Feng Qingyuan. The spatial energy seemed to be controlled by him as it imprisoned the two of them, preventing them from moving.
Just as Su Maimen was about to forcefully pull Ling Xiao and Feng Qingyuan away, a shadow silently appeared. A sword image seemed to have sliced through the sky, bringing with it the power to tear apart the heavens and earth as it approached.
Su Maimen's expression twitched, "I knew there would be an ambush!"
He let go of Ling Xiao and Feng Qingyuan, turned around, and threw a punch towards Sha Tian who was sneak attacking him.
How could Sha Tian's Dao of Assassination, which he had cultivated for thousands of years, be so easily neutralized? Su Maimen's powerful punch only landed on his afterimage. The real killer move had already circled around to Su Maimen's back.
Su Maimen was extremely vigilant and immediately sensed that something was amiss behind him. His hair stood on end as he quickly rushed forward in an attempt to escape the fate of being assassinated.
Sha Tian did not expect his opponent's reaction to be so fast. He swallowed the energy in his hand and the sword beam in his sword suddenly grew longer, directly piercing towards Su Maimen's back.
BOOM!
In the end, Su Maimen still couldn't avoid taking Sha Tian's sword.
However, when the sword beam disappeared, Su Maimen actually didn't suffer much damage. A damaged Saint Artifact Guard Armor could be seen on his back. It was obvious that Guard Armor had blocked most of the attack for him.
"Damn it, Old Madam will kill you!"
Su Maimen hadn't been injured for many years. He was almost killed by someone else's sneak attack, causing his liver to burn with anger. He roared and summoned his spirit beast.
Sha Tian also immediately summoned his spirit beast, and both sides started to fight.
Yurou Fei and Wang Bo were also fighting intensely.
The battle between the Holy Emperor was simply like a natural disaster. The nearby spatial energy collapsed in large areas, and the mountain ridges below them were destroyed and flattened, leaving behind many terrifying huge craters.
At this time, You Fengyuan rushed towards Ling Xiao with a cold expression on his face: "Last time, I returned without any results. This time, I will definitely capture you to collect the reward!"
His speed was like the wind, and his movements were extremely fast. Ling Xiao was unable to sense his location at all.
Fortunately, Feng Qingyuan had broken through to the high level Saint Realm and could barely sense You Fengyuan's location. She held the holy sword in her hand and slashed out waves after waves of violent wind blades towards You Fengyuan.
You Fengyuan laughed in disdain, "You want to play with laozi's speed? You're not home yet!"
You Fengyuan transformed into a series of afterimages, dodging Feng Qingyuan's powerful attacks and starting to counterattack. The figure flashed in front of Feng Qingyuan, lightly caressed Feng Qingyuan's face, and said with a smile: "You're really tender, it's not bad to take you as my concubine!"
Following that, his palm changed, turning into a claw shadow that grabbed towards Feng Qingyuan's throat.
Feng Qingyuan's strength was completely suppressed, and he was unable to resist at all. He was restrained by You Fengyuan.
"It's your turn next!"
You Fengyuan seemed to be certain of Ling Xiao. He grabbed Feng Qingyuan with one hand and used his other hand to grab towards Ling Xiao.
However, before his Void Claw could grab Ling Xiao, a bronze drum had already appeared in Ling Xiao's embrace, and the sound of the drum started to shake.
Dong!
A ferocious giant suddenly appeared, holding a drum stick in his hand and beating the huge drum in his arms. The sound of the drum was like the sound of a battle horn from the prehistoric era, but also like the sound of a morning bell in a tomb, shaking one's heart.
You Fengyuan did not know how terrifying the sound of the drum was, but he immediately sealed his ears to prevent it from affecting him.
However, the sound of the drum was like a demonic sound, directly rushing into his internal organs, shaking his meridians and internal organs to the point that they were in an unbearable state.
Fortunately, his strength was already at the Half Holy Emperor Realm, and all aspects of his body and muscles were already incomparably tough. He was actually able to forcefully suppress the damage to a minimum.
You Fengyuan, who was holding onto Feng Qingyuan's hand, had already been freed, and he seized this one in a thousand chance to make his move decisively.
The holy sword in her hand thrusted out five times, aiming at You Fengyuan's four limbs and chest.
The reason why she did not immediately cut off his head was because she wanted to leave it for Ling Xiao to use as a puppet.
You Fengyuan screamed a few times as his body fell from the sky. He was actually still able to maintain his consciousness, and wanted to take out pills from his spatial ring to swallow and heal his injuries.
Unfortunately, how could Feng Qingyuan give him this opportunity?
Not only did she scatter his pills, she even shot out many wind blades in succession, ruthlessly teaching him a lesson. She beat him until he was on the verge of death, so that she could take him down.
"Hurry up and let him bleed a little, don't let him recover. I'll go over and help Rou Fei and Sha Tian to take down the two Holy Emperor!" Ling Xiao instructed Feng Qingyuan, then quietly headed towards the intense battlefield.
Ling Xiao did not dare to get too close. The battle between the Holy Emperor was simply too terrifying. The sky within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers had been flipped over, and all kinds of terrifying shockwaves seemed to want to destroy the sky.
Ling Xiao first chose Wang Bo, who was fighting against Yurou Fei, because Yurou Fei had the Static Mirror in her hands. As long as he interfered with Wang Bo, her Static Mirror would attack again, and she would definitely be able to keep Wang Bo here.
At that time, it would not be a problem for her to join hands with Sha Tian to take down Su Mai Men.
As Ling Xiao's drum sounded again, Wang Bo was indeed affected. His body swayed a few times, and his blood vessels churned uncontrollably.
It was also at this moment that Yurou Fei finally used her trump card. The mirror light landed on Wang Bo's body as expected.
Wang Bo's body was instantly frozen!
Yurou Fei knew that the Static Mirror could immobilize a Saint for a quarter of an hour, but to the Holy Emperor, it was not that long.
She decisively attacked again, and the terrifying Dance of the Dragon and Elephant attacked the defenseless Wang Bo.
Wang Bo was extremely sullen as he was beaten up like a sandbag. His entire body was almost scattered, and only a breath of air was left.
"Alright, leave him to me. You go and cooperate with Sha Tian to capture the other person." Ling Xiao quickly went to the side of Wang Bo, who was about to die, and restrained him so that he could not quickly recover from his injuries. At the same time, he ordered Yurou Fei to help Sha Tian.
Su Mai Men, who was fighting against Sha Tian, did not fare well against Sha Tian. Although he had entered the Holy Emperor Realm earlier than Sha Tian, Sha Tian's Sly Killing Dao had the ability to fight above his level. If not for the fact that he had just entered the Holy Emperor Realm, Su Mai Men would definitely not be a match for Sha Tian.
With Yurou Fei joining in, Su Mai Men completely lost his confidence. He did not hesitate to turn around and escape.
However, Yurou Fei's Static Mirror did not give him the chance. The light shone on his body and captured him.
A half Holy Emperor and two low-level Holy Emperors were completely captured just like that.
However, if they were captured, Yurou Fei and Sha Tian would also be injured. Fortunately, they were not fatally injured.
"With these three people, our chances of killing the Yinba Sect will be higher!" Ling Xiao said confidently.
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy. As one of the four major forces of the stronghold, they will definitely have stronger people overseeing it. If the other party has a mid-level Holy Emperor or a high-level Holy Emperor, it is not something that we can deal with now." Feng Qingyuan warned from the side.
"That's true. It seems like we still have to control the stronger Holy Emperor." Ling Xiao sighed.
"The stronger ones are not easy to deal with. We have to be careful. Don't fail miserably!" Feng Qingyuan said again.
"Yes, now that the preparations are almost done, it's time to find the Yinba Sect!" Ling Xiao said.
"Isn't this a little too hasty?"
"There's no hurry. Only by angering them first will an even stronger Holy Emperor appear. Otherwise, where will I get stronger helpers?"
