648: Chapter 246: Good to Come 648: Chapter 246: Good to Come It was truly brutal; the Senior Commander-in-Chief glared viciously at Sun Wukong and his companions.
Whether it was immortals fighting or mere mortals,
aiming for someone’s lower back was absolutely the best way to infuriate the opponent.
The Senior Commander-in-Chief was now thoroughly enraged.
Murderous intent surged in his eyes, as flames seemed to burst from his gaze, wishing he could tear Sun Wukong to shreds.
Yet Sun Wukong remained calm and undaunted, looking the Senior Commander-in-Chief directly in the eye, he chuckled and said, “Your lower back isn’t bad, I wonder if Old Sun has smashed it with this stick, tsk tsk tsk, it must hurt a lot.”
Yang Jian looked on with an odd expression, surely the Senior Commander-in-Chief was about to die of anger now.
Sun Wukong had hit his lower back and spoken in such a manner, sarcastic and stabbing, it was too much for anyone to bear, even stirring an urge to dismantle Sun Wukong then and there.
The Senior Commander-in-Chief naturally felt this more so, as he had never suffered such a humiliating defeat.
He had always been composed, very gentle indeed.
But at this moment, the Senior Commander-in-Chief became filled with murderous rage, his eyes fiercely fixed on Sun Wukong, as if he wanted to swallow him whole.
The cold gaze struck Sun Wukong, filled with lethal intentions.
The Senior Commander-in-Chief charged forward.
With Immortal Technique coursing through him, he struck at Sun Wukong.
Boom.
With a loud noise, Sun Wukong was blown away, looking somewhat disheveled.
Although Sun Wukong was indeed unharmed, he felt a sense of humiliation.
Indeed, the Senior Commander-in-Chief had intentionally humiliated him.
“Trash.”
After knocking Sun Wukong away, the Senior Commander-in-Chief coldly spat out two words.
Sun Wukong’s expression immediately turned sour as he gripped the Jingu Bang tightly, charging forward without a word.
Boom.
Sun Wukong attacked the Senior Commander-in-Chief, the shadow of his staff enveloping him entirely.
But this time, the Senior Commander-in-Chief was prepared and naturally would not be easily hit.
Immortals using Immortal Techniques to kill their enemies do not fear close-range combat.
They have ample means to deal with highly skilled martial artists; it’s not as others imagine, where if they are closed in on, they are subject to the opponent’s whims — that’s entirely misconceived.
If the practitioners of Immortal Techniques had such a glaring weakness, Immortal Techniques would not become mainstream.
They have their own style of combat, even in close combat, they are no less inferior to those with extraordinary martial skills.
With Immortal Technique flowing through his hands, the Senior Commander-in-Chief blocked all of Sun Wukong’s attacks one by one.
Yang Jian attacked from a different direction, also blocked, unable to form any effective offense.
The Senior Commander-in-Chief was immensely powerful, with an exceedingly rich combat experience.
Even though the two of them joined forces, it was not easy to take down the Senior Commander-in-Chief.
At that moment, Tathagata Buddha suddenly made a move, not toward Shao Siming but charging at the Senior Commander-in-Chief.
He actually attempted a sneak attack on the Senior Commander-in-Chief, with Buddha’s strength, if the latter were hit, he would lose his ability to fight in an instant, at their mercy.
Yet naturally, Shao Siming would not allow such a thing to happen.
She had been closely watching Tathagata Buddha’s every move.
The instant Tathagata Buddha made a move, Shao Siming intervened.
She countered Tathagata Buddha, blocking his sneak attack.
As for the Senior Commander-in-Chief, he had not glanced at Tathagata Buddha from the beginning to the end.
He had confidence in Shao Siming, being the numero uno under the command of the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
Shao Siming might not be good in other aspects, her cultivation might not be the strongest among the subordinates of Tai Yi,
but her combat experience was undoubtedly vast.
For Tathagata Buddha to break through Shao Siming and attack the Senior Commander-in-Chief was almost an impossibility.
With Shao Siming’s combat experience, such an occurence was completely out of the question.
Tathagata Buddha, blocked in his attempt, felt somewhat regretful.
He had ultimately underestimated his opponent.
He had thought that taking advantage of the moment to launch a sneak attack would be successful, but he did not expect Shao Siming to intercept him so easily.
“Ridiculous, did you think I would let you succeed in a sneak attack?
I’ve been on guard against you all along, it turns out you are as despicable and shameless as I imagined,” Shao Siming sneered with utter disdain.
Tathagata Buddha was left speechless, how could he be labeled despicable and shameless just like that?
Was it not just an attempt to sneak attack the Senior Commander-in-Chief?
Was there a need to escalate things to such an extent?
However, on the surface, Tathagata Buddha remained composed as he and Shao Siming engaged in an intense battle that was difficult to resolve.
Tathagata Buddha, with his Unmatched Divine Powers, fought against Shao Siming, a clash of divine arts and close combat.
Occasionally, Shao Siming would deploy Divine Arts, throwing Tathagata Buddha into disarray.
Not everyone could handle such a situation.
Immortal Gods with superior martial skills inherently held a significant advantage in conflicts.
Otherwise, why would those known as War Gods be those with extraordinary martial skills rather than those proficient in divine arts?
In combat, Immortal Gods with superior martial skills naturally held the upper hand.
Meanwhile, the Senior Commander-in-Chief was also being beaten back.
He had overestimated himself and underestimated Sun Wukong and Yang Jian.
The two of them joining forces was a completely different scenario from what he expected.
The Senior Commander-in-Chief struggled to counter their attacks, looking overwhelmed and disheveled.
From his appearance, he seemed barely able to hold on.
If it continued like this, he would soon be defeated.
The Senior Commander-in-Chief looked frustrated, clearly not having anticipated that Yang Jian and Sun Wukong joining forces would be so formidable.
But he was not worried.
It was not so easy for two people to defeat him.
At least for now, he had only slightly fallen behind and had not yet shown signs of defeat.
Sun Wukong and Yang Jian looked at each other, drawing upon every ounce of their strength for the fight.
