Chapter 255: Master, You’re Finally Here

At this moment…

Ning Manman held the talisman between her fingers as she stared at the Shi Shan.

Although this talisman could negate the power of a half-step Emperor, its limitations were too great. Whether it was speed or strength, it was far from being able to catch up to a true half-step Emperor.

In other words, their crisis had not been resolved.

Chu Yueli was obviously aware of this situation. She stood beside Ning Manman and stared at Shi Shan, preventing him from making any sneak attacks. Her hope now was to use the talisman to scare him.

Time passed second by second, and the entire scene was silent. Everyone’s heartbeats could be heard clearly.

On one side was the elder of the Desert Sword Sect, and on the other side was the Heavenly Snow Palace.

The scene seemed to have frozen, and no one made a move.

At this moment, Shi Shan suddenly moved. His speed was extremely fast, and he rushed in the direction of Ning Manman.

As long as he caught the woman in front of him, Chu Yueli was nothing to worry about.

The moment he made his move, the talisman in Ning Manman’s hand was also thrown out, and it turned into a ray of purple light as it rushed toward Shi Shan.

“It’s just a mere talisman, how can it stop me!?”

The sound of thunder rumbled on the mountain, and a shocking aura suddenly erupted. It was like a huge wave as it violently smashed towards the direction of the talisman.

At the same time, a vast and mighty power erupted from the talisman.

The two powers instantly interweaved, releasing a dazzling light. The sound of thunder rumbled, making everyone’s heads shake, causing their eardrums to explode.

The shockwave alone caused countless people to die. The earth cracked and countless ancient trees collapsed. Then, this power swept toward the mountain in the distance.

Boom!

With a boom, everyone discovered, much to their shock, that the giant mountain in the middle collapsed so easily.

“This…”

“Oh my God, is this the power of a half-step Emperor? It’s too terrifying.”

“No wonder all those below the Emperor Realm are thought of as ants. Just this power isn’t something a martial artist can fight against. This is a disaster!”

“Did you think about how powerful that woman’s talisman is? How terrifying the person who refined it must be!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the voices of countless discussions stopped and it became deathly silent.

That was right. They were just amazed by the power of the talisman. They did not expect that the person who refined this talisman would be such a heaven-defying figure.

Perhaps, they did not dare to think about it at all.

The information contained in this was too terrifying.

After a long time, the smoke and dust that filled the sky slowly dissipated, revealing the true state of the battle.

Shi Shan and Ning Manman stood in the arena, maintaining their stances just now.

Who would win and who would lose?

No one knew.

However, the observant martial artists noticed that on Shi Shan’s right hand, he no longer had all five fingers. He was missing the ring finger.

On the ground was a finger stained with blood. This was so shocking.

The entire arena was filled with gasps of shock.

Shi Shan had actually lost.

At this moment, they simply could not believe their eyes. This was a half-step Emperor who was only half a step away from becoming an Emperor. Yet, he was defeated by a talisman just like that.

If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed it had happened at all.

Chu Yueli could not maintain her composure anymore. She looked at Ning Manman with an expression of extreme shock.

She actually injured Shi Shan? In other words, the power within this talisman surpassed the limits of a half-step Great Emperor.

The person who refined this talisman was…

An Emperor! Or a terrifying existence that surpassed even Emperors.

Thinking of this, Chu Yueli could not overcome the shock she felt. She could not help but think of the time when she first met Ning Manman.

She wanted to take her as a disciple, but she had rejected her.

The reason for her rejection was that she had a master.

Now that she thought about it, the person who refined the talisman was most likely her master, an Emperor, a powerhouse.

In that case, they had a good relationship with a powerful Emperor. This was a lifeline given by the heavens.

After all, they were the ones who saved Ning Manman when she was unconscious on the mountain.

Chu Yueli did not ask for anything. She just hoped that Ning Manman’s master could give them some pointers and she would be satisfied.

This was nothing to the Emperor.

Without a doubt, this would be of great benefit to the entire Heavenly Snow Palace. Perhaps their sect would be able to leave this world and go to the top-tier worlds in the universe.

After figuring out the crux of the matter, Chu Yueli looked at Ning Manman with even more fervent eyes.

This made Lu Yanqi, who was standing beside them, confused.

“Shi Shan, I’ve already notified the people from the sect to come. Why don’t you leave quickly?” Chu Yueli said coldly.

In the current situation, Shi Shan could not do anything to them. They had the talisman seal, so they were temporarily out of danger.

The situation came to a stalemate again.

Seeing this, the veins on Shi Shan’s forehead bulged. He, who had become a half-step Emperor, could not do anything to a group of quasi-emperor experts.

And this was in front of countless forces. If word got out, how would he recover his pride and face so many forces again?

That was not all. These forces that had restrained themselves earlier might also change sides and join the Heavenly Snow Palace to resist the Desert Sword Sect’s conquering.

However, if they did not retreat, the talisman in Ning Manman’s hand would not be easy to deal with.

Shi Shan seemed to be in a dilemma.

However, he quickly made his decision.

The loss of retreating this time was too great. Perhaps Ning Manman had obtained the talisman from some ancient mystic sect, and maybe she did not have some Emperor expert behind her.

If he could capture Ning Manman, all the benefits would be his.

Shi Shan laughed coldly and licked his dry lips. “Hmph, putting on an act. I don’t believe that you’ll always have enough talismans.”

This was also what Chu Yueli was worried about.

Talismans would eventually run out, but the power of a half-step Emperor would always exist.

Otherwise, she would not have told Shi Shan the news of the sect experts’ arrival and pressured him that way.

Seeing that Shi Shan did not fall for her trap, Chu Yueli frowned.

Ning Manman’s gaze also shifted slightly. Coincidentally, Shi Shan noticed this action and could not help but be overjoyed.

He had made the right bet.

Such terrifying talismans were extremely precious. An ordinary person would be thankful to have even one. Now that both talismans had been used up, he did not believe that she could take out a third one.

Just as Ning Manman frowned, she suddenly saw a dark figure and could not resist letting her face break into a beautiful smile. When everyone saw this, they were all stunned.

They had never seen such a divine and pure smile. It almost shattered their hearts.

Before they could regain their senses, they heard an ethereal voice, “Master, you are finally here?”
