The Unlucky Zhang Yunji

'Boom'

Flame Emperor lightly stomped his long hooves, and the flames beneath his feet transformed into a halo of light that scattered in all directions.

Everyone tried to resist, but their strength was insufficient, and they were forced back.

"It seems like we've been completely overwhelmed in terms of power!" The cultivators below looked at the Flame Emperor in the sky, and a feeling of helplessness welled up from the bottom of their hearts.

Whether they can win or not can be known from the beginning. Especially since everyone present is incredibly skilled in cultivation, they can guess the outcome of a fight where the opponents are only slightly stronger than ordinary people after just one exchange.

The strength displayed by Flame Emperor has reached the level of a third-tier spirit beast; while everyone else, after being sealed, can only rely on their own physical constitution. They have no problem fighting first-tier spirit beasts, and they can barely kill second-tier spirit beasts with so many people, but they have no hope of fighting third-tier spirit beasts at all.

Most importantly, when Flame Emperor Yan stomped on them just now, the weapons they used to defend themselves were completely burned to ashes by that ball of fire, leaving not even a trace.

Clearly, that fire was not simple; it couldn't be stopped by ordinary weapons.

"What should we do?" Everyone looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.

The Sacred Beast is right in front of you, but you don't have the ability to take it down, which is really frustrating.

"Let's try again!" one cultivator said, unwilling to give up. He kicked out and transformed his palm into a fist, striking at Flame Emperor Yan.

Flame Emperor was in mid-air, saw someone heading straight for him, so he lowered his head and rammed into the person.

'Bang'

The cultivator was sent flying by the impact, twitched twice on the ground, and then turned into specks of starlight and disappeared.

Dead!

The scene fell silent instantly.

Outside the Bookstore.

"It's over, we can't win." Everyone shook their heads at this sight.

"Sacred Beast are truly formidable; they are far superior to ordinary-quality sprites," one cultivator remarked.

"What a pity, we encountered a Sacred Beast, but were unable to subdue it."

"If only we could break the seal," one cultivator couldn't help but say.

Once the seal is broken, any cultivator inside can defeat this Sacred Beast.

"Master, if you were inside, could you defeat this Sacred Beast?" Liu Ying asked Chang Kong after witnessing this scene.

Chang Kong, who had been watching the projection, frowned upon hearing this and said with an uncertain tone, "We don't yet know the exact level of this Sacred Beast's power, but based on the current situation, it should be around 50/50."

Chang Kong's cultivation had reached the Spirit Emperor realm, and his entire body had been tempered more thoroughly by the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. Even though his cultivation was sealed, his own power was still very high.

Liu Ying nodded, looking at the projection. "What a pity."

"Yes! What a pity." Chang Kong sighed softly.

A spirit of Sacred Beast quality can grow to a level almost identical to Divine Beast. If a cultivator can subdue and bring it out, as long as that cultivator doesn't die, their future potential will start at the Saint level. The benefits a Sacred Beast can bring are simply too numerous to count.

Watching this scene from the clouds, Ma Feifei also felt that they had no hope.

The Sacred Beast at this stage are simply beyond the capabilities of these cultivators whose cultivation levels are sealed; the difference in strength is too great.

"By the way, System, according to this calculation, if they can't even beat Sacred Beast, what will they do when they encounter Divine Beast? Like Phoenix King, Mewtwo, Rayquaza, how will they compete?" Ma Feifei couldn't help but ask the system. If they can't even beat Sacred Beast, won't they have even less chance against Divine Beast?

"To capture Sacred Beast, you can't just rely on strength to defeat them." The system displayed this line of text.

"There are other ways?" Ma Feifei was taken aback, stroking his chin as he looked down at the Flame Emperor, muttering to himself, "If not through strength, then what? Pokémon doesn't explain how anyone catches Divine Beast, does it?"

'Roar'

Below, Flame Emperor suddenly let out a long roar, and then everyone felt the earth tremble continuously, as if something was about to emerge from underground.

Zhang Yunji, who was running away, lost his balance and fell to his knees with a thud.

"Hiss!" His knees were also burned by the Flame Emperor's flames, and they were already in excruciating pain. This time, he made intimate contact with the ground, and the pain almost brought tears to his eyes.

"Brother Zhang, are you alright?" Gongsun Qiong quickly put down the bottle she was carrying and, together with Zhao Xiaodao, helped Zhang Yunji up, asking with concern.

Zhang Yunji shook his head and said, "It's nothing, that guy's fire isn't ordinary fire, it burned a bit."

Zhang Yunji peak Spirit King eighth stage, and his physique was also very good. Ordinary fire that rushed at him in that instant would not cause him much harm; but the Flame Emperor's fire was obviously different. Not only was his skin Burn, but it also burned into his bones, causing excruciating pain.

'Boom'

After Flame Emperor roared, he began to launch a barrage of attacks across the entire map.

It kept Spit Up flames from its mouth and smashing them into the crowd.

'Bang' 'Bang' 'Bang'

At this moment, Flame Emperor was like a magician with magical powers, while the cultivators below were just ordinary humans, powerless against the flames that spewed out from all directions.

"I can't take it anymore, I'm leaving first," one cultivator finally decided to withdraw.

"I'm not going to fight anymore. I don't stand a chance. I'll just go find a rare Pokémon to capture." Another cultivator chose to withdraw.

"I'm leaving too."

"I'm leaving too."

The cultivators around began to retreat one after another. Of course, there were those who were unable to retreat, because they all died under the bombardment of Flame Emperor.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people were either dead or scattered, and a Sacred Beast hung in mid-air, yet no one dared to catch it.

"Roar!" Flame Emperor Yan let out another long howl.

"Oh no, it's heading this way!" Zhao Xiaodao turned around and saw that Flame Emperor was rushing towards them.

"You two hurry up and go!" Zhang Yunji shouted, pushing the two forward.

He suffered Burn, which made it difficult for him to walk, let alone run. If Gongsun Qiong and Zhao Xiaodao had taken him with them, the three of them would surely have died at the hands of Flame Emperor.

"No way! This is my mission!" Ma Feifei, on the cloud, panicked a little. How unlucky could Zhang Yunji be? Why would he chase him when there were so many other cultivators chasing him?

"Anyway, the more debt I have, the less it bothers me. I already owe more than 20 million, so a little more won't make a difference." Ma Feifei looked at Zhang Yunji and sighed.

Zhang Yunji absolutely cannot die; if he dies, the Side Quest will never be completed. But right now, the only one who can save Zhang Yunji is Ma Feifei.

However, Sheer Force interfering in such matters is Punishment according to the system rules. Although it won't affect the plot, it's estimated that your Book Qi Points will be significantly reduced.

With a 'whoosh,' the Flame Emperor instantly appeared in front of Zhang Yunji, staring intently at Zhang Yunji.

Zhang Yunji was a little flustered.

For some reason, Gongsun Qiong and Zhao Xiaodao, who were behind them, also did not choose to leave.

Chang Kong, standing outside the Bookstore, had a solemn expression.

Liu Ying wore a straw hat, obscuring her expression, but her fists were clenched tightly.

For a moment, the atmosphere fell silent.
