791: Chapter 271: Instigation_2 791: Chapter 271: Instigation_2 His first shot missed, Great Yi employed a second strike.
Another arrow gleamed with brightness and sped towards its target.
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow was even more composed this time.
Although Great Yi was strong, he wasn’t a Sub-Paramount.
Having previously been traumatized by him, he had an edge when facing Yi.
However, that didn’t mean that a top Heavenly Venerate could just go and kill a Sub-Paramount.
The more the Tenth Prince faced Great Yi, the less afraid he became of him.
With his Sub-Paramount strength, there was no need to fear Great Yi at all.
Thinking this, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow looked at Great Yi with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
“Great Yi, do you really think the Tenth Prince is still the young one you used to bully?
The Tenth Prince of today is not someone you can defeat,” said the Tenth Prince with scorn.
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow sneered continuously as he took the initiative to attack, unleashing waves of True Sunfire.
Great Yi’s eyes were icy cold.
He fired eighteen arrows in rapid succession, tearing through the Tenth Son’s assault.
The powerful light from his bow sealed the heavens and the earth, enveloping his foe within it.
The gap in strength between a top Heavenly Venerate and a Sub-Paramount was significant, but Great Yi was already not far from reaching Sub-Paramount status, so their difference wasn’t as large as one might expect.
What’s more, his incredible methods could compensate for some of the disparity in combat power.
However, when he suddenly took action and attacked the Tenth Son and his cohorts, it seemed like a suicide mission in the eyes of Siming and the others.
In this place there wasn’t only the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow but also Siming.
Two Sub-Paramounts facing a top Heavenly Venerate was a certain kill situation.
The eighteen arrows sealed the heavens and the earth, covering both Siming and the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow beneath them.
Siming’s face turned cold, unable to believe that Great Yi dared to attack even her.
A cold murderous intent enveloped Great Yi.
Siming acted, joining forces with the Tenth Son to shatter the eighteen arrows.
Her gaze towards Great Yi was filled with killing intent.
This man dared to strike at her, blatantly disregarding her existence.
Was an ordinary top Heavenly Venerate truly delusional enough to think he could annihilate two Sub-Paramounts?
“Destroy him,” the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow said coldly.
He harbored deep hatred towards Great Yi.
If not for Yi, he wouldn’t have been tormented by nightmares for so many years, and his nine elder brothers would not have perished because of Yi.
All of it was caused by Great Yi.
He demanded a blood debt repaid in blood.
Just then, Siming suddenly grabbed the Tenth Son.
“Let’s go.”
After speaking, Siming didn’t wait for the Tenth Son’s reaction and frantically fled the scene with him.
The Tenth Son was bewildered.
By the time he realized what was happening, they had already left the area.
Great Yi shot an arrow of light, hoping to block them, but ultimately failed.
In the next moment, Yang Jian appeared.
He looked in the direction of Siming and the Tenth Son’s escape, with a flicker of regret in his eyes.
Great Yi had informed him before taking action, and Yang Jian had arrived immediately, but they still escaped.
He didn’t blame Great Yi.
If he had acted even a moment later, they might have sensed Yi’s presence or already fled.
That Siming and her kind had survived until now showed their extreme caution.
“What a pity,” Hou Yi said, his expression showing his regret.
He knew it had been a good opportunity.
Finding them again would not be so easy.
Yang Jian said gravely, “It doesn’t matter, just two Sub-Paramounts.
Killing or not killing them is not of great consequence.”
“Emperor Jun is coming back,” Great Yi suddenly declared.
It was his instinct.
He felt a natural enemy was on the verge of returning.
Yang Jian displayed no surprise.
He said solemnly, “The Great Emperor Ziwei has sensed some movements from beyond the domain.
They are preparing to return by other means.
In about ten years, Emperor Jun and the Tai Yi will come back.”
“The Human Race is going to suffer,” Great Yi sighed, feeling angry yet powerless.
The Human Race was too numerous and inherently weak.
Even with Immortals, their strength wasn’t great; protecting the whole Human Race was not so easy.
Yang Jian slightly smiled and said, “The Human Race is the central character of this world.
As such, it must endure the tribulations fitting for the lead.
You need not worry too much.
Now, the Human Race has two Supreme beings, and with the protection of the Heavenly Court, there’s no need to be overly concerned about their fate.”
Great Yi gave a slight nod, but he knew in his heart that Yang Jian was comforting him.
Two Supremes seemed a lot, but to protect the entire Human Race was beyond their reach.
After all, the space occupied by the Human Race in the heavens and the earth was far too vast.
As for Tathagata Buddha’s true intentions, probably no one knew.
Ambitious as ever, Tathagata Buddha might end up being the source of disaster.
Depending on Tathagata Buddha to protect the Human Race might be wishful thinking; if he does not act against them, it’s already a blessing.
Of course, if the Ziwei Emperor could suppress Tathagata’s ambitions, then he likely wouldn’t cause trouble.
Even if Tathagata harbored some thoughts, he would endure in silence.
As long as the Great Emperor Ziwei stayed strong, Tathagata would remain obedient.
“I am also half Human Race.
My father was from the Human Race, plus as a Judicial Deity, I too will protect them,” Yang Jian stated.
Smiling, Yang Jian then said, “But don’t forget, there’s also a monkey on Huaguo Mountain.
He’s the Human Race’s son-in-law.
What need you worry about, Great God?”
Great Yi then showed a faint smile and said, “Indeed, I am overthinking.
With the status of the Human Race as sovereigns of the world, it is not easily shaken.”
