Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1137 1138: Threat

The Celestial Emperor bellowed at Di Tian, "Unfilial son, shut your mouth!"

"..." Hearing this, Di Tian was a bit dumbfounded. Just now Father told me to get lost, now he's telling me to shut up. What's that supposed to mean? I don't get it.

However, the next second, Di Tian understood. He only felt his entire body sink into an endless abyss, blood-red all around. In that abyss piled-up corpses were everywhere, rivers of blood flowed, with no daylight in sight.

Immediately after, a nightmare-like power slammed straight into his mind, seizing his thoughts so he couldn't break free. In the darkness, a pair of incomparably cold eyes stared at him, as if they were going to devour his body and drain his blood dry.

"No…" Di Tian roared hoarsely. It was all too terrifying. He struggled desperately, but to no avail, as if he were firmly sucked deep into that abyss.

"I'll let you get what you want!" In Di Tian's mind, Xiao Tianyu's earlier words kept echoing. Now, those words sounded incomparably cold, chilling right down to the bone.

The Di Tian of this moment, where was his arrogance from just now?

"Suck!" A voice rang out. In an instant, before all those watching eyes, Di Tian's body suddenly rose into the air and was directly sucked into Xiao Tianyu's hand. But now, Di Tian was awake.

When he realized the scene before him, his face turned as pale as paper, completely bloodless.

How could this be?

He refused to believe this was real. How could Xiao Tianyu still have the ability to kill him? Also, why hadn't his father just saved him? He couldn't accept it. He didn't want to die.

Then he roared at the Celestial Emperor, "Father, save me!"

"You think he can save you?" Xiao Tianyu's voice was incomparably icy, like it came from Hell itself, making Di Tian feel as if he were about to be devoured by a Hell demon. He shook his head. "N-no… Uncle Xiao, I was just spouting nonsense just now, you mustn't take it to heart. And my father is your sworn brother of eight bows, for my father's sake…"

Bang~

Before Di Tian could finish, Xiao Tianyu's big hand clenched, and Di Tian's body instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist, scattering over the lake, dying without leaving a corpse.

Killed.

He killed Di Tian.

The powerhouses of the Seven Peaks stared at all this, utterly shocked. Moreover, the Celestial Emperor hadn't moved to save Di Tian, which they couldn't understand. Di Tian probably never imagined, even in his dreams, that he would fall here because of those few words he'd just said.

Of course, in such a situation, those newly arrived experts from the Haotian Sect naturally already realized things were not as they had imagined. The Four Emperors hadn't controlled Xiao Tianyu at all, and with the Demon Emperor gone, many of them strongly suspected he had already fallen.

"My son!" A loud roar burst from the Celestial Emperor's mouth. The one who'd died was his son; to say he wasn't heartbroken would be a lie. But who could he blame? It could be said this was all caused by his own hand.

If it weren't for his desire to eliminate Xiao Tianyu, how would Di Tian have died?

As for Di Yun, watching Di Tian being forcibly executed by Xiao Tianyu, his expression turned deathly pale. The ending was nothing like what he'd imagined.

"Now, are you satisfied?" Xiao Tianyu's icy eyes looked at the Celestial Emperor, filled with extreme sarcasm, making the Celestial Emperor's expression exceedingly ugly. He snorted coldly. "You think I've lost?"

He, the Celestial Emperor, how could he possibly lose? He still had a trump card.

He spoke, "Haotian!"

Swish, swish, swish~

Many gazes fell on Haotian. Haotian, holding Ye Qingcheng, took a step forward. The Celestial Emperor stretched out his big hand and directly seized Ye Qingcheng's delicate body, clamping her in his grip. Ye Qingcheng's face was pale as she cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Tianyu with her beautiful eyes.

The Celestial Emperor continued, "Her life is now in my hands. With a single thought I can scatter her to ashes. How will you fight me then!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng's heart trembled. Does he really care whether I live or die?

Yet she heard Xiao Tianyu speak, "If you want to kill her, then do it. What does her life or death have to do with me? A woman like her, even if she died ten thousand times, I wouldn't feel a thing!"

At these words, the trace of extravagant hope that had just risen in Ye Qingcheng's heart instantly sank back into the abyss. Right, what does my life or death have to do with him? Why should he save me, especially after how I treated him back then.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingcheng's eyes moistened. Then her beautiful eyes slowly closed, and a single teardrop slid down that ice-cold face of hers. She wasn't afraid of death, nor did she want to drag Xiao Tianyu down. She just wanted to see whether Xiao Tianyu still cared about her.

Now she knew. Xiao Tianyu simply didn't care about her. Since that was so, life held no more meaning; so what if she died.

But Di Tian spoke up, "Do you really not care? Don't forget why you came here!"

The Celestial Emperor fixed his gaze on Xiao Tianyu, his voice brimming with absolute confidence.

That Xiao Tianyu wouldn't care about Ye Qingcheng—could he, the Celestial Emperor, believe that?

Back then, Xiao Tianyu had personally told him he had come here as Ye Qingcheng's Guardian.

Then the Celestial Emperor continued, "Three breaths. I give you three breaths of time. Cripple your own cultivation, or you can come collect Ye Qingcheng's corpse!"

Yet Ye Qingcheng opened her beautiful eyes and stared at the Celestial Emperor. "He could never care about my life or death. You might as well kill me."

"Silence!" The Celestial Emperor snorted coldly.

Swish, swish~

Many gazes fell on the Celestial Emperor, filled with shock and fear.

Tonight, the Celestial Emperor was holding Ye Qingcheng hostage to threaten Xiao Tianyu, and had given Xiao Tianyu three breaths of time. Would Xiao Tianyu compromise?

Ye Qingcheng was indeed beautiful, a peerless beauty that could topple a city. In the vast Immortal Realm, it would be hard to find a second like her.

But would Xiao Tianyu really cripple his cultivation for her?

Moreover, even if Xiao Tianyu did abolish his cultivation, would the Celestial Emperor really spare Ye Qingcheng? After all, she was the Chosen One. Now that the Celestial Emperor had completely offended the Chosen One, there was no way he'd let a tiger return to the mountain.

With the Celestial Emperor's temperament, that was simply impossible. To him, eradicating them down to the last was probably the only reliable option.

"One breath left!" At this moment, the Celestial Emperor stared coldly at Xiao Tianyu and spoke. However, Xiao Tianyu said indifferently, "I think you've forgotten how the Saint Emperor died, haven't you?"

Back then, wasn't the situation the Saint Emperor faced almost the same as today? The Saint Emperor had held Ye Qingcheng hostage to threaten Xiao Tianyu, and was likewise killed by Xiao Tianyu. Did he, the Celestial Emperor, think he was stronger than the Saint Emperor?

Thump~

Hearing this, the Celestial Emperor's face instantly went pale, and cold sweat broke out across his back.

And Xiao Tianyu continued, "Although I don't care about this woman's life, I won't let her die because of me. I have more than enough power to leave you without the chance to fight back!"

Xiao Tianyu's voice was awe-inspiring, shaking people's hearts, incomparably domineering.

So what if he held Ye Qingcheng hostage?

With that single sentence, Xiao Tianyu directly made the Celestial Emperor's gaze turn icy cold.

He, Xiao Tianyu, had more than enough power to suppress the Celestial Emperor, leaving him no chance at all to kill Ye Qingcheng.

Xiao Tianyu went on, "I'll give you three breaths. Let her go!"

Just now, the Celestial Emperor had given Xiao Tianyu three breaths. Now, Xiao Tianyu gave the Celestial Emperor three breaths in return. In the end, who would hold out to the last?

"One breath!" Xiao Tianyu's voice entered everyone's ears, and also the Celestial Emperor's, making the Celestial Emperor's body tremble. At this very moment, he felt utterly despairing. He had no doubt about Xiao Tianyu's strength.
