766: Chapter 266: Killing Yinghuo 766: Chapter 266: Killing Yinghuo Yinghuo paid no heed to Sun Wukong and his companions, even though among them there were two Supremes.
After all, one of them had been defeated by his hand, and the other, who had survived from the Primordial era until now, likely possessed negligible combat power, probably one of those whose cultivation was high but lacked sufficient strength.
Thinking this, a more haughty look appeared in Yinghuo’s eyes.
As for Sun Wukong and Yang Jian joining forces to kill a Supreme, he didn’t take that seriously either.
In Yinghuo’s view, it was nothing more than a fluke.
Being a Supreme himself, he understood the terror of Supremes; they were not so easily slain.
There was a gap in the very essence of life between a Sub-Paramount and a Supreme.
The only slight threat was the Water God.
To some extent, Yinghuo felt the threat from the Water God was also not significant; obviously strong in appearance, but simple-minded.
In the Primordial era, he had slain the Water God, and he could still do so now.
“Brothers, please lend a hand, today we will slay these enemies,” Yinghuo said with a laugh.
“Good.”
“Okay.”
Lord of Heaven Ancestor and the Primordial Qilin showed no hesitation at all.
After slaying these few, there would be no threat left from the Ziwei Heavenly Court.
With this, they need not worry about the Ziwei Heavenly Court causing trouble in whatever they did.
Unless The Three Pure Ones personally intervened, no one above the Ziwei Heavenly Court could threaten them.
Sun Wukong’s gaze settled on Lord of Heaven Ancestor and the Primordial Qilin as he said indifferently, “Have you thought it through, why we could find Yinghuo’s whereabouts?”
It was naturally The Three Pure Ones who had made a move, which the Lord of Heaven Ancestor and the others were well aware of.
While they were wary of The Three Pure Ones, they were not deterred from taking action because of them; there was still a gap before reaching that level.
“Don’t try to scare us with The Three Pure Ones.
We merely respect them, not fear them.
Although The Three Pure Ones are stronger than Supremes, if they wanted to kill a Supreme, it wouldn’t be that easy.
Sun Wukong, you think too little of Supremes and too highly of The Three Pure Ones,” retorted Lord of Heaven Ancestor with a sneer.
He didn’t take The Three Pure Ones too seriously.
Of course, that was because the three of them were together.
Back in the Heavenly Court, he did not have this sort of confidence.
If Lord Taishang had truly directed his power against him, it would have ensured Lord of Heaven Ancestor fled faster than a rabbit.
“Stop talking to them.
Since they seek their own doom, why stop them, Wukong?
Just kill them all,” said the Eastern King.
He was calm, as usual.
But Sun Wukong and the others could sense that at this moment, the Eastern King was brimming with sharp edge, ready to shake the heavens and the earth upon erupting.
Upon reflection, they had indeed underestimated the Eastern King; his true burst of power would be astonishing.
“Attack!” shouted Sun Wukong.
The four of them charged over.
The Water God, despite her intense hatred for Yinghuo, understood that she wasn’t capable of killing him alone; she lacked the power.
Thus, the Water God chose to battle the Primordial Qilin.
As they clashed, the aura of Supremes churned violently, reaching an unparalleled intensity.
Sun Wukong and Yang Jian set their sights on Yinghuo, joining forces to strike.
“Ha ha, mere Sub-Paramounts wish to kill me?
Do you think I am the Black Robe Supreme?” laughed Yinghuo, full of contempt.
He radiated with potent mana, intending to block the combined strike from Sun Wukong and Yang Jian.
Yang Jian and Sun Wukong exchanged a glance, both seeing the smile in the other’s eyes.
Yinghuo was far too complacent.
By not taking them seriously, he was destined to create a massive problem for himself.
“Thud.”
With a muffled sound, Yinghuo was sent flying by the combined blow of the two.
His protective mana was shattered by their strike, and both attacks landed on Yinghuo, nearly ending his life.
Yinghuo was cautious but extremely arrogant as well.
By not taking Sun Wukong and his companions seriously, he ultimately paid the price.
“Pfft.”
A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out, disbelief etched across Yinghuo’s face.
He was injured; the strength of the two was much greater than he had anticipated.
“Idiot, be serious.
They are not weak at all,” scolded the Lord of Heaven Ancestor from the side.
He saw at a glance that Yinghuo had been careless; he had not taken Yang Jian and the others seriously, which led to his own loss.
After being beaten, Yinghuo quickly caught on.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he stared at Sun Wukong and his companions, saying coldly, “I understand now.
I was merely careless for a moment and suffered a minor setback; that won’t happen again.
Those two are as good as dead.”
Yinghuo’s eyes were filled with ferocity and rage.
He stared fiercely at Sun Wukong and his companions, his face full of murderous intent.
It had been a long time since Yinghuo had suffered at the hands of others.
“How is it?” asked Sun Wukong to Yang Jian.
Yang Jian smiled, “Not very strong, slightly weaker than the Black Robe Supreme, quite easy to kill.”
“Brother is right; Old Sun thinks the same,” Sun Wukong chimed in.
Both exchanged glances and couldn’t help but laugh.
Hearing their conversation, Yinghuo’s expression darkened, and his eyelids twitched.
He clearly interpreted their words; the two did not take him seriously at all.
Easy to kill?
What a joke.
A dark red halberd appeared in Yinghuo’s hand as he pointed it at Sun Wukong and his group, declaring, “Insects, come and meet your demise.”
Sun Wukong and Yang Jian charged forward.
Their strength, compared to when they had just made their breakthrough, had obviously improved significantly.
Previously, the two of them joining forces to attempt the slaying of a Supreme would not have been so easy.
