Chapter 482 — Shocking the Martial Emperor for Ten Thousand Years

"ROAR!!!!" As Yun'an screamed shrilly, twisting its body, its gaze swept over again, utterly stripped of its former majesty, staring in shock at Shi Jin, the Ocean Sprite Susu, and the Azure Dragon Chongchong. "Who are you?! Who are all of you!!!"

In terror, Yun'an realized that the previous strike had not only crushed its quasi-divine skill back upon it; the attack that landed on its body had dealt damage even more severe than the Martial Emperor's.

At this moment, its already battered body had been gravely wounded.

Yun'an simply could not understand what that strike had been; it had not suffered such grievous injury in a very long time.

At the same time, Yun'an abruptly sensed that the Martial Emperor's aura had appeared in the distance as well, and its heart grew even more frantic. Bad!

"Tch." In the sky, Shi Jin looked at Yun'an. No way.

A full-power strike from a demigod-level spirit of the Purifying Sea, and it had only severely wounded Yun'an??

Susu had spent half a year accumulating just two of them.

Could the next one finish Yun'an?

Shi Jin was not sure.

He planned to wear Yun'an down for a round with his other beasts first.

He could sense that at this moment Yun'an possessed at most seventy percent of the strength of the Yun'an from the Ancient Kingdom of the Heaven Sword. It seemed that not only had the Martial Emperor yet to mature—Yun'an, at this time, was not at its peak either.

However, Shi Jin wanted to fight; Yun'an, it seemed, did not.

After a single exchange, Yun'an was shaken beyond measure. Struck in succession by the Martial Emperor and an unknown beastmaster, its spirit had now suffered severe damage.

Yun'an had no idea that Susu's strike had been one of only two; coupled with the Martial Emperor's arrival, in this situation it violently suppressed its impulses, caring nothing now for any Starry-Sky Azure Dragon. It simply rolled its body, teleported several thousand meters away in an instant, skirted around the Martial Emperor, and turned to flee!

"Waaah waaah waaah waaah waaah!!! (I'll definitely be back!!)" Yun'an let out a shrill roar.

While there is green mountain, there is firewood to burn.

Yun'an chose a tactical retreat.

"W-wait!" Seeing this, the beastmasters of the Donghuang Iron-Eating Beast Legion, who had always regarded Yun'an as their ultimate enemy, were all dumbstruck, eyes wide, wearing expressions of utter disbelief!!

Yun'an... dared not fight... and ran??! What kind of joke was this?

Wasn't Yun'an supposed to be the strongest demigod?

They looked up at Shi Jin in the sky in astonishment.

Yun'an... had been driven off?

The beastmasters, who moments ago had been gripped by the terror of Yun'an's descent, had never imagined the situation could turn so abruptly.

Just who was this Shi Jin, and what was that water-element lifeform?!

Why could it suppress Yun'an?!

"ROAR!!!!" At once, seeing even Yun'an suppressed, Chongchong grew wildly excited and immediately wanted to give chase.

Swallowed Yangyang and Niuniu and now you want to run? Not a chance!

Around Shi Jin, the sword spirit Crimson Pupil instantly flew in and took its position.

Chongchong at once gathered its power, ready to carry Shi Jin in pursuit.

"Senior Martial Emperor." As he prepared to give chase, Shi Jin sent a voice transmission to the Martial Emperor.

By this time, Shi Jin had long since noticed the Martial Emperor in the distance.

Having noticed the Martial Emperor, Shi Jin finally understood why Yun'an was so weak—before descending, it must have already been worn down to near exhaustion by the Martial Emperor.

One a legend, one a legend of another kind—a powerhouse like an ancient legend, and a genius from the legends of the modern age—at this very moment, crossing two thousand years of time and space, they met at last.

"Together?" Beside Shi Jin, sword spirits circled; behind him loomed the vast Canghai Spirits and the Starry-Sky Azure Dragon. And far away, the Martial Emperor Wu Dong at this moment showed none of the composure befitting a legendary beastmaster.

Even when fighting Yun'an, the Martial Emperor had never been so shaken to the core.

Yu...

This person... what on earth is going on—could he be the one Yun'an spoke of? But wait, didn't he just beat even Yun'an? What kind of joke is this!!

The Martial Emperor's mouth twitched. He was quite certain—he had seen with his own eyes the color of the summoning array Shi Ying had drawn, and it was unmistakably legendary-grade!!

On this day, upon meeting Shi Ying, the Martial Emperor's view of power began its first step toward crumbling... He now badly wanted to know just where this person had sprung from.
