Emperor Wu Shi looked at the figure not far away, his expression froze, and he secretly sent a message to Emperor Yang Qi and Emperor Ji Yan, "You go first, I will stop him!"
What
Hearing what Emperor Wu Shi said, the expressions of Yang Qi and Emperor Ji Yan changed. They knew very well the strength and means of that figure. Although Emperor Wu Shi had the strength and means of the peak level of Martial Emperor, he was far from being a match for that figure.
If Emperor Wu Shi stayed behind to cover the retreat, he would have no way of resisting the enemy and would most likely fall into their hands. If Emperor Wu Shi chose to stay, he would undoubtedly be seeking his own death!
"Master..."
"Fellow Daoist Wu Shi..."
Thinking of this, Yang Qi and Emperor Ji Yan hurriedly looked at Emperor Wu Shi. It was obvious that neither of them was the kind of cultivator who would abandon others and only care about their own lives. How could they watch Emperor Wu Shi die in order to protect them
"No need to say more, you can't stop him at all. If I stay here, I can still deal with him." Emperor Wu Shi paused for a moment and continued, "If the three of us stay together, no one will be able to leave."
The strength and means of Emperor Wu Shi are obviously superior to those of Emperor Yang Qi and Emperor Ji Yan. If he stays behind to cover their retreat, he will surely be able to delay more time. On the contrary, if Emperor Yang Qi and Emperor Ji Yan stay, they will not be able to bring any help to Emperor Wu Shi at all, and may even be in danger of falling.
Therefore, it is the most correct approach for Emperor Wu Shi to stay behind to cover their retreat, which can increase the chances of survival for both Yang Qi and Emperor Ji Yan.
"But… "
Although both Yang Qi and Emperor Ji Yan knew that Emperor Wu Shi's decision was the most correct approach, they could not bear to watch Emperor Wu Shi die, so they were still unwilling to agree to Emperor Wu Shi's proposal.
“This emperor will not go and die. This emperor will just maneuver for a while and wait for an opportunity to retreat from other directions.” Emperor Wu Shi interrupted Yang Qi.
It was indeed very dangerous to stay and face the figure, but Emperor Wu Shi did not intend to fight the figure to the death. After all, he was very clear about the gap between him and the figure. Although he still had some desperate means that he had not used in the previous fight, he knew that even if he used those desperate means, he was no match for the figure.
However, he was still somewhat confident that he could use all his strength to deal with the figure in front of him. As long as Yang Qi and Emperor Ji Yan escaped far away, he could find an opportunity to escape in other directions.
To put it bluntly, Emperor Wu Shi was trying to buy some time for Yang Qi and the other man instead of sacrificing himself. After all, having reached this level today, Emperor Wu Shi would not seek death unless it was absolutely necessary.
this…
After hearing what Emperor Wu Shi said, Yang Qi and Emperor Ji Yan fell silent. At this moment, they understood Emperor Wu Shi's intention and also understood that Emperor Wu Shi's decision was the most likely way for the three of them to survive. However, by doing so, Emperor Wu Shi would have to bear the greatest risk. If he chose to escape directly, with Emperor Wu Shi's strength and means, it would definitely be the easiest way to escape.
"Master, be careful!"
"Take care, fellow Daoist Wu Shi!"
Both Yang Qi and Emperor Ji Yan were not the indecisive type. After weighing the pros and cons, they quickly agreed to Emperor Wu Shi's proposal.
Just as Yang Qi and the other two were about to flee, a figure not far away suddenly spoke up, "Yes, the talents and potential of the three of you are all pretty good."
Um
Hearing the figure's words, Yang Qi and the other two were slightly startled, because at this moment the figure had no intention of taking action at all. So Yang Qi and the other two became hesitant as to whether they should carry out the previous plan.
The figure seemed to see what Yang Qi and the other two were thinking, and he couldn't help but chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I attacked you before, but I was just testing you. You have met my requirements, so I will naturally not attack you again."
this…
Hearing the figure's words, Yang Qi and the other two were visibly stunned. They obviously did not expect that the figure's previous attack was just a test for them. After all, in order to resist the figure's attack, the three of them had consumed a lot of energy, even the Emperor Wu Shi.
However, they didn't expect that all this was just the figure testing them. However, Yang Qi and the other two did not completely believe the figure's words. After all, they were still unable to determine whether the figure in front of them was a friend or an enemy!
The figure could obviously see that Yang Qi and the other two were still very wary of him, but he didn't care about it, because he was indeed testing the strength and means of Yang Qi and the other two, and testing their talent and potential.
The figure's gaze fell on Yang Qi and Emperor Wu Shi, with a hint of envy in the depths of his eyes, "Among the three of you, the two of you have the highest talent and potential, even stronger than I was back then."
Talent potential occupies an extremely important position on the road of cultivation. The higher the talent potential of a practitioner, the more efficient his practice will be, and he will have the opportunity to go further on the road of cultivation. Even the human figure would envy the talent potential of Yang Qi and Emperor Wu Shi.
"As for you..."
The figure's eyes fell on Emperor Ji Yan, and then he slowly said, "Your talent and potential are also excellent, but unfortunately..."
pity
Hearing the figure's words, Yang Qi and Emperor Wu Shi, as well as Emperor Ji Yan himself, were all slightly startled.
In terms of talent and potential, Emperor Ji Yan admitted that he was not as good as Yang Qi and Emperor Wu Shi. After all, when they were at the same level, Emperor Ji Yan's performance was not as good as Yang Qi and Emperor Wu Shi's master and apprentice. Moreover, the time Emperor Ji Yan spent on cultivating to the same level was much longer than Emperor Wu Shi and Yang Qi, so if he said that his talent and potential were not as good as Emperor Wu Shi's master and apprentice, Emperor Ji Yan himself would admit it.
However, the figure in front of him still recognized his talent and potential, but he changed the subject and mentioned the word "regret". This obviously did not mean that there was a problem with Emperor Ji Yan's talent and potential, but that the other party saw other problems in Emperor Ji Yan, so he said such regretful words.
"Senior, what a pity?" Emperor Ji Yan asked hurriedly.
Emperor Ji Yan was very unwilling to be trapped in the late Nine Stars for many years, and even his previous breakthrough ended in failure. However, he also vaguely realized that something might be wrong with him, but he was completely unaware of what was wrong with him.
It wasn't just him. The Lord of Extinction didn't seem to see his problem either, otherwise he wouldn't have let him follow the master and apprentice of Emperor Wu Shi to seek opportunities and the chance to step into the peak of the Martial Emperor. But now, the figure in front of him seemed to see the problem of Emperor Ji Yan, and Emperor Ji Yan naturally wanted to know what his problem was. (To be continued)
