Chapter 3898: Meeting Hong Tianbu again

“Put down what you’re holding!” A woman’s voice rang out. It wasn’t loud, but it was very proud and clear.

Ling Han turned around, only to see a man and woman standing behind him.

It was clear that the speaker was the woman, but Ling Han didn’t look at her. Instead, he looked at the man in surprise.

F***, this was too coincidental, wasn’t it?

Hong Tianbu!

Ling Han had really not foreseen that he would encounter Hong Tianbu here.

Since the parting at the Holy Land of Metal Element, Hong Tianbu had completely disappeared, and there was no further news of him.

Afterwards, no matter what ancient site opened, or even when the Nine Suns Holy Land opened its doors, Hong Tianbu still didn’t appear, making Ling Han think that this guy had died in some corner of the universe.

After all, there were really too many prodigies that had died halfway in the world. They were not inferior to Hong Tianbu.

But now, Hong Tianbu had actually appeared.

Hong Tianbu naturally saw Ling Han as well, and his eyes involuntarily narrowed, exuding a strong killing intent.

To him, there was a very good reason for him to hate Ling Han.

However, the woman beside him was enraged. What kind of existence was she? Her words were no less than an imperial decree, and Ling Han actually dared to ignore her completely. Furthermore, he did not even cast a second look at such an exquisite beauty like herself, and actually stared at Hong Tianbu. Have you gone blind?

“How dare you!” she shouted coldly.

Hong Tianbu smiled, and said, “Hai Lan, let me introduce you. This is Ling Han.”

“So you’re Ling Han?” The woman showed a hint of arrogance. She crossed her arms over her chest, appearing very disdainful, “Lowly commoner, you actually dare to oppose Tianbu. Kneel down!”

Hehe, what arrogance.

Ling Han looked at Hong Tianbu and said with a smile, “Is there something wrong with this woman?”

“You’re seeking death!” the woman roared.

Xiu, xiu, two figures suddenly appeared, sweeping towards Ling Han.

‘Hmm?’

Ling Han was astounded. These two people were originally outside the wall, and it was only after the woman shouted that they charged out.

Strange. After entering this space, everyone should have been separated, but this woman obviously had two lackeys. In fact, she and Hong Tianbu should have known each other since long ago, so why hadn’t they separated?

Was this heaven-defying luck, or did he have some other trick up his sleeve?

Just as he was pondering, the two of them had already arrived.

They were both men in their thirties, expressionless, but their cultivation level was early stage Core Formation Tier. They shot out a palm strike, and the image of a dragon and tiger blasted out. Symbols circulated, terrifying without bounds.

Ling Han used the Imminent Skyline to dodge. He was extremely surprised. That woman was clearly only a Cauldron Forging Tier cultivator, so what right did she have to command two Core Formation Tier cultivators?

This could only mean one thing, and that was there was a powerful force behind this woman.

“Hong Tianbu, I don’t remember that you needed women to stand up for you in the past,” Ling Han said with a smile as he mocked him.

However, Hong Tianbu weren’t provoked at all, and they said calmly, “You can’t find a noble daughter like Hai Lan because you’re incompetent, while I’m more fortunate than you.”

These words instantly caused the woman to feel elated, and she smiled sweetly at Hong Tianbu.

F***, being a pretty boy, he still had to be so high-profile, and so self-righteous?

Ling Han’s heart clenched. With Hong Tianbu’s pride, how could he deliberately curry the favour of an ordinary woman?

As if seeing Ling Han’s confusion, Hong Tianxing smiled faintly, and said, “I forgot to introduce you. Hai Lan’s surname is Di.”

Di Hailan.

There was actually someone with the surname of Dio?

A person’s name suddenly flashed through Ling Han’s mind: Di Shitian!

Some Ancestral Kings only left their titles. For example, Ancestral Buddha, Ah Han. Did anyone else know his name before he became Ancestral Buddha? There was also Ancestral King Pan Shi, who had ascended Dao from his beginnings as a rock. Who would know his real name?

However, there were also some Ancestral Kings whose names were unknown, but their surnames were widely known.

For example, the Four Directions Great Emperor. His surname was Chang, and the present Chang Clan was also boundlessly powerful, and was one of the strongest forces in the

universe.

Or… the Wolf Tribe’s Great Emperor, the Demon Emperor, Di Shitian.

This was probably the only clan in the world that dared to take the surname of Di.

It was no wonder that even with Hong Tianbu’s pride, he would put down his airs. As it turned out, this woman was a member of an Imperial Clan, so everything could be explained.

“Heh, you’ve married into the Wolf Tribe?” Ling Han said with a chuckle.

This naturally was also a mockery. Just ask the men of this world, how many of them would be willing to marry into the family of his wife?

Hong Tianbu was extremely shrewd, and he wasn’t angered or shocked at all. He simply gazed at Di Hailan with deep affection.

The meaning could not be clearer. He had not taken a fancy to Di Hailan’s background at all, but merely liked this woman.

F***, what an eyesore.

Ling Han shook his head. Hong Tianbu was truly impressive, playing the role of a pretty boy with deep feelings for his beloved.

“You two trash, it’s been so long, and you still haven’t taken down a mere Cauldron Forging Tier?” Di Hailan rebuked delicately. Her slender brows slanted. The two great elites of Core Formation Tier had joined forces, yet were still unable to take down Ling Han even after so long, which made her feel embarrassed.

“There’s no need to rush,” Hong Tianbu said in comfort. “This Ling Han isn’t so simple. The Imminent Skyline is also an ancient ultimate technique, allowing cultivators to exert speed that surpasses cultivation level. However, the Imminent Skyline places an extremely heavy burden on the body, and the expenditure on mystical power is also extremely shocking. Thus, it’s impossible for him to last long.”

This kind of judgement was very logical, and it could also be seen that Hong Tianbu was very experienced. He did not look like a young man in his twenties at all.

Di Hailan nodded. She liked Hong Tianbu’s confidence as if everything was under his control, which enchanted her and made her withdraw the pride of a member of an Imperial Clan,

willing to become a little woman.

However, Ling Han’s actions didn’t make sense.

He had cultivated the mortal level to perfection, and the toughness of his physique was not inferior to even Wu Qiyuan, who specialized in cultivating his physique. Furthermore, his reserves of mystical power were endless, enough to compare with the level of Sect Master. To wait until he was no match for the burden of Imminent Skyline?

Hehe, this was not something that could be done in a short while.

Ling Han was preparing to counterattack. Being on the back foot had never been his style.

After being unable to capture Ling Han for a long time, even Hong Tianbu’s expression

changed slightly.

Although he hadn’t mastered the Imminent Skyline, he had been the first to obtain this secret technique. Thus, he still had some understanding of it. He knew that channeling this movement technique was extremely taxing on oneself.

Thus, Ling Han was still able to channel the Imminent Skyline even now, which surprised him

and made him unable to understand.

Ling Han suddenly shot out a palm strike. Zi, lightning flashed, and a bolt of lightning

instantly shot towards a Core Formation Tier cultivator.

One of the two Core Formation Tier cultivators had long hair, while the other’s was slightly shorter. The one Ling Han was attacking now was precisely the short-haired one.

Pa!

The short-haired man had not expected that Ling Han would be able to deliver such an attack

either. This was too unexpected. Thus, even he did not manage to dodge, and could only forcefully stretch out a hand to parry the blow before his chest.

The lightning dissipated, and a large area of charred flesh appeared on the short-haired

man’s arm.

Unfortunately, he was still unable to kill him.

Ling Han sighed internally. After all, his opponent was early stage Core Formation Tier. Even

if he blasted out an Imperial Technique, he would just barely be able to reach this kind of might, and in a battle of equal battle prowess, who would be able to insta-kill his opponent in

a single move? However, if he took another step further, and reached Eight Cauldrons?
