781: Chapter 268 Almost Started Fighting_5 781: Chapter 268 Almost Started Fighting_5 With the arrival of the Ancestral Dragon, the fury of both sides was completely suppressed, and the battle could no longer erupt.
Qilin and the others were aware of this and, although somewhat frustrated, they still gave up on making a move against Sun Wukong and his companions.
Now, comparing the strength of both sides, they no longer held any advantage.
Without Ancestor of Bones acting, his friends wouldn’t act either, and the powerful individuals on Qilin’s side wouldn’t outnumber those on Sun Wukong’s side by much.
With equal numbers, there was no way they could have an advantage.
Moreover, no one knew if the Ancestor of Bones, minds muddled by love, would choose to help the Water God against them, and if that were the case, the situation would become quite interesting.
Then it would no longer be them besieging Sun Wukong and his companions, but the other way around, and they would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Even if they ended up crippled in the process, it would be quite normal.
Tathagata Buddha breathed a sigh of relief; he had been concerned that a fight would break out, but now it seemed no longer necessary to worry.
This did not mean, however, that something wouldn’t happen this time.
A Supreme stood up, glaring at Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, and spoke discontentedly, “Tathagata Buddha, although the Great Heavenly Venerate may enter the inner hall, isn’t it a bit much for them to sit with us?
Shouldn’t they be sitting behind us?”
“Indeed, merely Great Heavenly Venerates, what right do they have to sit before us?
Could it be that Tathagata Buddha looks down on us Supremes?”
Another formidable being spoke, his voice filled with dissatisfaction.
Clearly they objected to the arrangement set by Tathagata Buddha.
Tathagata Buddha knew it was a deliberate provocation.
He smiled faintly and said, “Soul Supreme, Law Ancestor, although the Great Sage Equalling Heaven and the Judicial Deity have only just become Supremes, they have records of slaying Supremes, and not just one.
Individuals such as them seated with the Supremes will not defile you, and I believe not every one of you has slain a Supreme, right?”
The expressions of Law Ancestor and Soul Supreme stiffened.
Indeed, they had not slain any Supremes.
According to Tathagata’s logic, they were actually inferior to Sun Wukong and Yang Jian.
So, what grounds did they have to pick a fight?
Upon grasping the meaning behind Tathagata Buddha’s words, his face took on an ugly expression.
“They are still not Supremes,” Soul Supreme said coldly.
Sun Wukong smirked coldly and replied, “Not Supremes, yet able to slay Supremes, isn’t that much stronger than someone like you who is a Supreme but lacks any record of slaying one?”
Soul Supreme’s eyes widened as he said angrily, “What did you say?”
His demeanor was furious, his face filled with killing intent as he glared at Sun Wukong, seething with anger.
Sun Wukong’s eyes narrowed, and he retorted with a sneer, “You look down on me, Old Sun.
Then let’s have a fight, and I’d like to see if you have the strength to look down on me, Old Sun.”
Yang Jian stepped forward, obviously ready to join the fight.
Law Ancestor initially wanted to step forward too, to attack alongside Soul Supreme.
But then, Ancestral Dragon and the others all turned their gazes toward Law Ancestor at the same time.
“Law Ancestor, there’s no need for you to act, right?
Soul Supreme, being so powerful, should have no problem taking on two at once,” Ancestral Dragon said indifferently.
The Golden God revealed a hint of cold amusement and chimed in, “Indeed, since Soul Supreme looks down on the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, it must mean he possesses the strength to fight two at once.
Otherwise, on what basis does he look down on them, if not merely by virtue of his mouth?”
Upon hearing Golden God’s words, Law Ancestor’s face changed subtly.
Soul Supreme turned an ashen color, saying coldly, “Indeed, I truly do look down on them.
Since they wish to compete, I accept.
Both of you, come at me together.”
Lord of Heaven Ancestor grabbed Soul Supreme and said sternly, “Let this matter come to an end; no more fuss.
Let’s all give Tathagata Buddha some face, it won’t look good for anyone if a fight breaks out.”
Soul Supreme wanted to argue, but the Heaven-reaching Clan shot him a look.
This made Soul Supreme pause, suddenly falling silent.
He trusted Lord of Heaven Ancestor greatly.
Since Lord of Heaven Ancestor quieted him down, he simply chose to say nothing.
“You won’t be able to beat them.
Together, they indeed have the strength to slay Supremes, I’ve seen it with my own eyes,” Lord of Heaven Ancestor conveyed quietly.
Soul Supreme took in a sharp breath; the rumors had been true—Sun Wukong and the others could indeed kill Supremes.
He had thought Sun Wukong’s ability to slay Supremes was an exaggeration.
Now it seemed he had underestimated them.
He was lucky that Lord of Heaven Ancestor had stopped him, or else he might have truly been killed by Sun Wukong and the others.
Gratitude flashed in Soul Supreme’s eyes as he looked at Lord of Heaven Ancestor.
He simply chose to remain silent, quieting down.
Seeing him back down, both Sun Wukong and Yang Jian revealed cold smirks.
Lord of Heaven Ancestor spoke eloquently, as if considering Tathagata Buddha’s feelings.
But in reality, he was thinking of Soul Supreme.
If Soul Supreme dared to fight with them, his death was certain, without any doubt.
Did they really think they were so easily dealt with?
Seeing Sun Wukong and his companions’ faces full of disdain, Soul Supreme was very angry but helpless.
Since he couldn’t defeat Sun Wukong and his companions, to engage them would be seeking his own death.
