Chapter 891: Hope?
below.
The ancient emperor knelt on both knees, his magnificent black and yellow dragon robe stained with dust and the blood of others.
The crown on his head hung askew, the tassels scattered, making him look as disheveled as a stray dog.
He lowered his head, not daring to look into Jiang Yantian's eyes, which seemed to pierce through his soul.
My heart was pounding wildly in my chest, each beat carrying a deep-seated fear.
He was genuinely afraid; it was a fear he was born with.
There is no one who dares to oppose the Undying Demon Emperor.
Otherwise, why would Heaven go to such lengths to suppress him?
"Escape... We must escape!"
In the mind of the Ancient Saint Emperor, only this one thought roared madly.
His fingers dug deep into the cracks in the stone ground.
He is the Dao Ancestor, an ancient sage emperor who rose to power by stepping on countless corpses!
He can't die here! Absolutely not!
How can we escape?
Jiang Yantian stood there, the faint demonic power emanating from him like a tangible shackle.
His limbs and bones were tightly locked, and even his soul could not move.
The word "kneel down" he just heard shattered his Dao heart and caused his imperial dragon aura to dissipate.
He doesn't even have the strength to stand up now, so how can he talk about escaping?
"Are we just supposed to sit here and wait to die?"
A flicker of despair flashed in the eyes of the Ancient Saint Emperor, but it was quickly suppressed by his instinct for survival.
"No... there must be a way! He may be strong, but he can't be without any weaknesses!"
He racked his brains, trying to recall everything about Jiang Yantian from ancient times.
Although the Demon Emperor is strong, he is certainly not at his peak.
He was sealed away, and even if it were broken, the damage would definitely not dissipate.
Moreover, during the war of destruction, the Demon Emperor burned his own essence to save the lives of the demons!
The divine soul has been sacrificed!
Perhaps... perhaps he's not in a good state right now?
This thought, like a spark in the darkness, instantly ignited the hope in the heart of the Ancient Saint Emperor.
He actually wanted to steal a glance at Jiang Yantian out of the corner of his eye.
I tried to find a trace of weakness on that indifferent face.
Jiang Yantian naturally discovered his wishful thinking.
Damn it, so you thought you were just unleashing a burst of power, not displaying your true strength!
If you put yourself in their shoes, you can understand.
He sacrificed everything, so even if he were to reincarnate, he would never be at his peak.
He's gambling.
If that's the case...!
Jiang Yantian suddenly turned his back and then covered his chest.
"Cough...cough cough..."
A soft cough suddenly rang out!
Very abrupt.
Others may not see or hear it.
But the Ancient Sage Emperor was different.
The ancient sage emperor glanced at it secretly and immediately understood something.
Jiang Yantian's figure swayed slightly.
His once upright figure now exuded a sickly weakness!
The body's vital energy began to dissipate.
Even his back showed signs of pain!
What made the Ancient Saint Emperor's heart pound even harder was that the Demon Emperor's aura, as vast as heaven and earth, emanating from Jiang Yantian was rapidly receding!
Like a deflated balloon, the suffocating sense of oppression quickly diminished.
You could even feel the energy within his body fluctuating violently, as if it were about to dissipate at any moment!
"puff!"
Jiang Yantian compressed his demonic energy and coughed up a mouthful of "black blood."
He clutched his chest, bent over slightly, and even standing seemed a bit difficult.
"elder brother!"
Lobi Ling's voice carried just the right amount of panic.
She rushed forward and supported Jiang Yantian's swaying body.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with worry.
He knew Jiang Yantian was faking it as soon as he got to his side.
But Lopirin was very cooperative.
The little girl nervously grabbed Jiang Yantian's arm: "Brother, what's wrong? Did your old injury flare up again?"
Her eyes even welled up with tears, and her voice choked with emotion.
She looked like she was about to burst into tears: "It's all my fault! If I weren't so weak, you wouldn't have..."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Jiang Yantian seemed to impatiently cover her mouth.
It's like they're afraid of being overheard.
Then he gently shook his head.
Her voice carried a deliberately suppressed weakness: "I'm fine, what's with all this worrying?"
His voice was hoarse and low, each word sounding as if it were being squeezed out from between his teeth.
After speaking, he couldn't help but cough twice, as if he had really exhausted all his strength.
The Ancient Sage Emperor was the Dao Ancestor; how could he not hear or see him?
He was stunned, his mind went completely blank!
Seriously injured?
The Demon Emperor was actually seriously injured?
It's true, it hasn't fully healed yet!
So, that pressure you just exerted was already at full power.
It was all to intimidate myself in one fell swoop.
He stared intently at Jiang Yantian's pale face and weak posture.
And that aura that was so well contained that it was almost indistinguishable from that of a celestial being.
Everything was telling him that it was true!
Jiang Yantian's forceful attack to intimidate me just now aggravated my old injuries!
"God help me too!"
The ancient holy emperor's heart suddenly began to pound wildly, and a surge of joy erupted in his chest like a volcano!
A flash of greed and ruthlessness instantly appeared in his eyes.
My breathing became rapid!
An opportunity! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
As long as Jiang Yantian is killed, not only can today's humiliation be avenged, but this nightmare can also be completely eliminated!
The ancient sage emperor's fingers quietly curled up.
He cannot act impulsively; he must wait for the best opportunity!
The moment Jiang Yantian and Luo Biling relaxed their guard.
They launched an attack with lightning speed!
His gaze was like that of a venomous snake, but he did not look at Jiang Yantian.
The power of the Dao Ancestor within his body began to quietly condense.
Although the imperial dragon energy has dissipated, it is still acceptable as long as a fatal blow can be delivered.
Jiang Yantian straightened up, his voice trembling.
"Ancient Holy Emperor, I can give you a chance to return to my service."
"Past grievances are wiped clean. I will not make things difficult for you, nor for the ancient dynasty."
Upon hearing this, everyone from the ancient dynasty looked at the Ancient Holy Emperor.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the only chance to survive.
They were all waiting for the ancient sage emperor's approval.
The ancient sage emperor kept his head down and gave a cold smile.
If you had said that at the beginning, he would have begged for mercy and immediately surrendered.
But now, why are they still stubbornly holding on?
"Your Majesty, why don't we submit?"
"Yes, the Undying Demon Emperor, he..."
Before they could persuade him, the ancient emperor suddenly laughed.
His face, which had been contorted with fear, now bore a strange smile that mixed with ecstasy and resentment.
He let out a strange laugh from his throat.
He tentatively moved his knee and found that the oppressive force, which felt like a physical shackle, had indeed disappeared!
An indescribable sense of ease instantly swept over my entire body.
Even the pain from the shattered Dao Heart that had been broken before seemed to lessen.
He had already stood up.
Jiang Yantian frowned: "How dare you! Who told you to get up?"
The Ancient Sage Emperor was in a great mood.
He really has a problem.
Otherwise, given the Demon Emperor's temperament, he wouldn't have wasted words and would have suppressed him directly.
He had no chance to stand up at all.
Now, however, there is a sense of powerlessness in questioning.
The ancient sage emperor's aura had begun to spread.
The majesty of the Dao Ancestor has reappeared.
"Jiang Yantian, are you still putting on a brave face?"
He pointed at Jiang Yantian, his voice sharp and distorted with excitement.
