#175 - Chapter 175: Retreat! Retreat! Retreat
“Emperor Jing Yu is dead!”
“A quasi-emperor killed an emperor. This is a feat worthy of the title of Heavenly Emperor.”
Fire Emperor, North Wind Emperor, and Sea Fury Emperor were all shocked.
For a quasi-emperor to be able to fight an emperor was already astonishing enough.
Not to mention directly killing an emperor.
This was something only a human Heavenly Emperor could accomplish.
In the Barren Ancient Continent, there were only five emperors who openly held the title of Heavenly Emperor!
Of course, the number of those with Heavenly Emperor strength was far more than five.
Like Emperor Eternal, for example, although he possessed the strength of a Heavenly Emperor, he had never killed an emperor, so he did not receive the title.
Even so, there wouldn't be many.
A quasi-emperor possessing the strength of a Heavenly Emperor completely overturned their understanding.
“The fusion of four supreme treasures, forming an array technique.”
“This person is not only eternally rare in cultivation but also probably unparalleled throughout the ages in the art of arrays.”
“Just what kind of monster is this?”
Fire Emperor said in shock.
Could such a heaven-defying monster really exist in this world?
Fire Emperor realized that his understanding had undergone earth-shattering changes at this moment.
After killing Emperor Jing Yu, Jiang Ning's pupils contracted, and he looked towards Emperor Sea Fury and Emperor North Wind.
“Run!”
“Run quickly!”
Without the slightest hesitation, the two invincible emperors of the present age were so frightened that they fled in panic.
If they were even a step slower, the fate that awaited them would definitely be the same as Emperor Jing Yu's.
Looking at the two emperors fleeing with all their might, Jiang Ning smiled coldly.
He formed a hand seal, and a huge ancient character appeared above his head.
It exuded a terrifying power that annihilated the Great Dao.
Upon seeing this, Fire Emperor's face turned pale, and he felt a soul-tearing pain.
“This… what is this ancient character? This emperor, a dignified emperor, can't even withstand its pressure.”
Fire Emperor was extremely shocked, his eyes wide.
“Let's try my new method.”
“Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!”
Jiang Ning's voice seemed to carry some kind of world-destroying demonic sound.
Countless mysterious ancient characters “Retreat” from the Immortal Realm flew out of his mouth, enveloping the two fleeing emperors.
Each "Retreat" character was like a scorching sun suspended in the air, dazzling and filled with an incomparably intense aura.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Like a falling star, countless "Retreat" characters suppressed Emperor Sea Fury and Emperor North Wind.
“No!”
“I don't believe that you, a quasi-emperor, are truly so invincible.”
Emperor Sea Fury roared angrily.
The Sea God Trident in his hand stirred up huge waves, forming a water curtain to resist the suppressing "Retreat" character.
“Bang!”
The "Retreat" character slammed heavily on the water curtain, splashing boundless water.
The power from the Immortal Realm was terrifying.
Even if Jiang Ning only comprehended one layer, the power he unleashed was not something the human realm could easily resist.
“Crack~”
The Sea God Trident, an extreme emperor weapon and the Sea God race's treasure, actually shattered directly.
“Impossible!”
“How could I possibly fall at the hands of a quasi-emperor?”
Emperor Sea Fury roared unwillingly.
Boom!
The ancient character “Retreat”, like a huge mountain, fell with the weight of a thousand jun, directly annihilating Emperor Sea Fury's soul.
On the other side, Emperor North Wind also frantically summoned the Storm Pearl, wanting to resist the “Retreat” character.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
A terrifying tornado rose, sweeping towards the “Retreat” character.
Boom!
The “Retreat” character erupted with astonishing energy, and a wisp of immortal aura permeated out.
Completely shattering the void.
“The aura of immortality… he… they might be?”
Fire Emperor was extremely shocked and looked at Jiang Ning in horror.
Immortality, this was the highest secret of the Barren Ancient World, something that emperors sought after all their lives.
“Pfft!”
Emperor North Wind was covered in blood, his body exploded, and he died on the spot.
Another emperor had fallen.
Up to this point, in a short period of time.
Three emperors had fallen at the hands of Jiang Ning.
A mere quasi-emperor, his ferocity was comparable to a Heavenly Emperor.
“Storm Pearl, Undying Heaven Blade, Sea God Trident.”
“With their emperor weapon souls, the True Yang Sword and Gale Sword of my subordinates can be restored.”
“When I prove the Dao and become an emperor, becoming an Emperor Array Master, I will be able to unleash the full power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, and killing immortals will be a piece of cake.”
Jiang Ning was secretly delighted.
He reached out and put the three emperor weapons into his pocket.
Although they were damaged, as long as the emperor weapon soul hadn't disappeared, that was enough.
“Master, we are incompetent, not their opponents, forcing you to take action personally.”
Ice Slave and Snow Slave said with ashamed faces.
Jiang Ning smiled slightly: “It's normal that you sisters are not a match for the three emperors working together, no need to take it to heart.”
Immediately, he said to the other end of the void: “Since Fire Emperor has come, why not show yourself?”
Fire Emperor smiled awkwardly and then appeared.
“Little brother's strength is earth-shattering, this emperor admires, admires.”
Fire Emperor cupped his hands and congratulated Jiang Ning.
At this moment, he completely dared not offend Jiang Ning anymore.
Jiang Ning snorted coldly.
Through Vermillion Bird, he already knew that Fire Emperor had deceived him.
The Vermillion Bird Treasure Technique had not been lost and could only be obtained by entering the Vermillion Bird Holy Palace.
However, he was fortunate that Fire Emperor had deceived him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had such a great opportunity.
This Fire Emperor, knowing that he had tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice used to lure it, probably would be angered to death.
Seeing that Jiang Ning's expression was unkind, Fire Emperor's heart thumped, and he was so frightened that his expression changed slightly.
The bloody scene of the three emperors' corpses was still reminding him.
At this time, Vermillion Bird, transformed into an angry little red bird, flew out.
“Greetings, Lord Vermillion Bird.” Fire Emperor hurriedly bowed respectfully.
In the Fire Country, the highest status was not Fire Emperor, but Vermillion Bird.
“Fire Emperor, this girl is going to leave the Fire Country and follow Master from now on.”
Vermillion Bird announced.
Hearing this, Fire Emperor's face changed drastically, “What? Lord Vermillion Bird, you want to leave?”
“That's impossible! For hundreds of thousands of years, the Fire Country has been guarded by the Vermillion Bird lineage, how can you abandon the Fire Country?”
Fire Emperor was extremely anxious.
Losing Vermillion Bird would definitely greatly reduce the Fire Country's strength and might even lead to its downfall.
In hundreds of thousands of years, during the long years.
There were also eras when the Zhu family of the Fire Country's royal family did not have an emperor to guard them.
Once, for as long as one hundred thousand years, no emperor emerged from the Zhu family.
If not for the Vermillion Bird lineage constantly guarding the Fire Country.
The Fire Country could not have maintained its prosperity for hundreds of thousands of years.
It would have already declined like the Jiang family's Great Xia Dynasty in the long years.
The importance of Vermillion Bird to the Fire Country was self-evident.
Fire Emperor was naturally extremely anxious.
“Hmph!”
“My Vermillion Bird has guarded your Fire Country for hundreds of thousands of years, which is enough.”
“Do you dare to restrict my freedom?”
Vermillion Bird was furious.
A terrifying pressure enveloped Fire Emperor.
“Lord Vermillion Bird, you… you refined the legendary Vermillion Bird Holy Blood?”
Fire Emperor was extremely shocked.
Thinking that Jiang Ning had learned the Vermillion Bird Treasure Technique, naturally they had entered the Vermillion Bird Holy Palace.
Vermillion Bird had returned to its ancestral form, becoming comparable to a human Heavenly Emperor.
This was originally an exciting matter for the Fire Country's rise.
Now, Vermillion Bird was about to leave the Fire Country.
Fire Emperor was filled with regret, why did he deceive that little kid?
He actually let him find the Vermillion Bird Holy Palace and abduct Vermillion Bird.
Fire Emperor felt like crying.
If he knew that the "Retreat" character that Jiang Ning comprehended also came from the Vermillion Bird Holy Palace.
He would probably be even more annoyed and regretful to the extreme.
