The Demon Emperor froze. When he saw Emperor Hades's sneer, he couldn't help but smile.
The Demon Emperor withdrew his gaze from Su Yiyun and shook his head with a bitter smile.
"What happened between you and me is already old. It's been tens of thousands of years, yet you still remember it."
Suddenly, Jiao Hai and the Ocean Emperor of the Sea of Innocence turned to look at the two great emperors.
From their conversation, it seemed they'd overheard a secret they'd never heard of.
His last disciple?
Was the Demon Emperor once Emperor Hades' last disciple?
"I didn't want to bring it up, but you just had to bring it up, so I had to remind you. Kui Lin, before you became a demon general, who exactly did you study under? "
As expected!
The Demon Emperor really was Emperor Hades' last disciple!
It was clear from their conversation that he'd been Emperor Hades' last disciple before he'd become famous. However, the Ocean Emperor and the others hadn't known about this at all.
If Emperor Hades hadn't told them, they might never have found out.
The Demon Emperor had once been Emperor Hades' last disciple!
"Fine. Before I became famous, I did study under you, but at the time, I wanted to become Emperor Hades's disciple."
"How could Master accept someone like you as a disciple?"
Emperor Hades's eyes flashed with disdain, and his gaze darkened.
"Master has long seen that you are ambitious and evil. That's why he didn't accept you as a disciple. I pitied you and wanted to learn divine abilities, so I hid it from Master and accepted you as my disciple. I wanted to fulfill Emperor Hades's wish. "
Jiao Hai and Xue Yang's pupils constricted. It was no wonder they hadn't heard about this. When Emperor Hades was still alive, they'd been mere supreme-level nobodies.
Indeed ….
Emperor Hades had always been an evergreen tree in the Upper Three Realms. Even if the Hermit Emperor and the others didn't count, most of the current emperor-level experts had watched him grow up. When they were all diviners and supremes, Emperor Hades had already been famous and domineering.
Even though they appeared to be on equal footing now, they were still far from Ming Di's in terms of seniority. This was also why Emperor Hades could address the other great emperors by their names, while the other great emperors had to address him respectfully as Emperor Hades.
While Jiao Hai and Xue Yang were still in shock, Emperor Hades muttered self-deprecatingly.
"After Master found out, he reminded me that I couldn't teach him everything. I stubbornly insisted on doing things my own way, but Master was right. You … Forget it, I can't be bothered to talk about such old matters. Let me ask you, you were the one who leaked the news that my cultivation method would have a period of decline, right? "
"So what if I am, and so what if I'm not?" The Demon Emperor asked.
Respect the teacher!
A teacher for a day is a father for a lifetime!
None of that mattered to Kui Lin.
Old Underworld Emperor had seen through him very clearly. He was an ambitious person who could give up everything to achieve his goal.
To him, Ming Di was merely a stepping stone to the Demon Emperor's throne.
So what if he'd learned from him in the past? He was now the high and mighty Demon Emperor, while Emperor Hades had been banished from the Divine Mountain by the God Emperor to guard the border between the yao and god races.
The strongest person below the Three Emperors!
Kui Lin was one of them.
They were no longer existences on the same level, so there was nothing much to say about these trivial matters.
If Emperor Hades was willing to reminisce, he would accompany him.
But the past was the past. He was no longer a disciple of Emperor Hades, and he would never call him "Master" again.
"Of course it's to clean up the mess."
Emperor Hades's gaze was gentle. "You have to clean up after yourself for the sins you've committed."
"What a joke." The Demon Emperor's eyes were filled with ridicule. "This emperor is a majestic Demon Emperor. How can you deal with me so easily? Could it be that you're relying on that disciple's Octagonal Spirit Ascension? Hurry up and take a look. I'm afraid that your disciple will die soon. "
"There's no need for you to worry about your Junior Brother. But before that, this Emperor has something to ask. The old Demon Emperor didn't die, right? If he suddenly came back, would you still be able to sit on your position as the Demon Emperor?
Ming Di narrowed his eyes and chuckled. The Demon Emperor's eyes widened.
"You …"
"Scared?" laughed Emperor Hades.
"Hmph." The Demon Emperor instantly gathered his thoughts and snorted. "There's no point in talking. Let's do it!"
On the main battlefield.
Su Yiyun was already more than ninety percent done with the Octagonal Spirit Formation. The yao commanders were like ants in a frying pan. They watched as the two formations became more and more complete. They couldn't wait any longer.
Even though the beast commanders were doing their best to stop Su Yiyun, the yao commanders were no longer on the defensive.
Even if they let the swords pierce through their bodies, they had to stop Su Yiyun.
When he sensed that someone was coming for him, Su Yiyun frowned. He made no attempt to dodge. Instead, he focused all of his attention on the almost complete twin formations.
"Stop!"
The yao commander thrust his halberd forward. Su Yiyun raised his eyebrows, shrugged his shoulder, and moved out of the way. The halberd pierced through his left shoulder, causing blood to drip down.
But he didn't stop. The beast commander slashed at the yao commander's back. The latter didn't resist at all. Instead, he thrust his halberd at Su Yiyun's right arm.
There was no way to dodge!
The demon-king commander-in-chief's attack was infused with the power of the Dao of Heaven and Earth. As soon as he attacked, his halberd locked down the surrounding space. Su Yiyun could only watch as the halberd pierced through his right shoulder.
He'd lost both of his shoulders.
Su Yiyun could no longer use his brush. The yao of the South cheered, but at that moment ….
"Eight-level soul-locking, complete!"
An indistinct murmur reached the yao's ears like a nightmare. Only then did they realize that Su Yiyun really had lost both arms. However, he was still holding the brush in his mouth, which had been infused with divine power. He'd finished the last stroke of the formation.
Not only that, but he'd also completed the formation's patterns.
The yao commander despaired. He'd used all his strength to cripple Su Yiyun's arms, but now ….
Pfft.
At the same time, the beast commander punched a hole through the demon commander's chest. The demon commander's eyes were filled with indignation as he stared at the two dazzling arrays in the sky.
Was the South going to lose?
His vision blurred. Before he died, the yao commander stared at the two formations in the sky. He couldn't help but think of his wife and daughter, who were in the army ….
"Eight-level dual formations …."
