Chapter 479 — Reporting the Fallen Clan and Delivering Heads
The Beast-Taming Craftsman · Page 8 of 8
The Beastmasters below could not comprehend it. They gazed at the Sword Maiden in the sky holding the crimson immortal sword as though at a god. Everything had happened within a single minute; they had no idea of cause or effect.
Who on earth was this person?
Meanwhile, her execution done, the Sword Spirit Crimson Eyes—the array's spirit—slowly dissolved her spirit body, her consciousness transferring down into Shi Jin below. Shi Jin let out a breath; red-haired and crimson-eyed no longer, he reverted to black hair and black eyes, and recalled Crimson Eyes into his beast space to rest.
At the same time, he looked toward the three beside him—the Myriad Beast Sect of the Iron-Eating Beasts, Ji Li, and Ji Nai. The three now stared at Shi Jin in shock and disbelief, utterly unable to make sense of it, their worldview shattered.
The Black Void Divine Dragon, foremost general under Yun Qian, a top-tier Totem combat power.
Even Ji Li's father, the Grand General Ji Yunzhong, could at most fight it to a standstill—he could never kill it. Yet a top-tier Totem of such power had just been slain by Shi Jin in the span of a few words exchanged between them. One strike, one kill.
Across all of Donghuang, the only one who might possess such strength was likely the Martial Emperor himself. But the Martial Emperor was a Legendary-rank Beastmaster—and this Shi Jin before them, was he not merely a Legend-rank Beastmaster? A full two ranks lower!
And that move just now... the Black Void Divine Dragon's wretched scream... a quasi-divine skill?? Shi Jin had used a quasi-divine skill?? Ji Li had just been wondering whether Shi Jin—whose Iron-Eating Beast was so strong—might have reached Titled rank. But now, it seemed... Her expression went blank. Even the strongest Titled expert in Donghuang, her own father, was at most this. "Now do you believe I'm not a spy for the Fallen Clan?" Shi Jin said.
"What a pity, though—all the resources on that Black Void Divine Dragon." "No matter. The undead was already bound; nothing wasted." "Ying ying ying ying!!!" (Ahhh.) Eleven was helpless.
"Who on earth are you—" At this moment, Ji Li and her mother were indeed convinced that Shi Jin was a spy of the Fallen Clan, yet they now felt that this Shi Jin, whose origins were unknown, was even more terrifying and mysterious than the Fallen Clan itself.
Yuan An—him, they could see through.
But the figure of Shi Jin before them was as deep as an abyss, and they could not make out his entirety.
That sword spirit who had just commanded the sword formation—what in the world was it!!! How could anyone wield such a powerful sword spirit?
"Ababa, ababa." The Iron-Eating Beast Sect looked at Eleven, who wore a thoroughly unhappy face at having been denied a fight, with sheer dread; from the exchange between the Iron-Eating Beast and Shi Jin moments ago, it had realized in shock—surely this little Iron-Eating Beast did not also possess the strength to slay that black void divine dragon???
This person was absolutely not right! It felt somewhat relieved that it had just refused to fight Shi Jin.
"Is that the point right now? The invasion of the Fallen Clan totem is a signal. The Martial Emperor, and Grand General Ji Yun, should both be absent from Donghuang, no?" Ji Nai's expression changed as she said, "The Martial Emperor and the others... are indeed not in Donghuang. If I am not mistaken, at this very moment the Martial Emperor and his party have likely already engaged the Fallen Clan in battle."
"There is every chance they will clash with the Fallen Clan." Shi Jin drew a deep breath. In history, this second confrontation between Donghuang and the Fallen Clan... ought he to go and reinforce the Martial Emperor and the others?
