Perhaps it was because Yinghuo’s strength wasn’t formidable, or maybe their own strength had increased, which is why they found Yinghuo’s power underwhelming.
Lord of Heaven Ancestor’s eyelids twitched incessantly; he had a feeling that Yinghuo might not be a match for the two of them combined.
He brought out the Formation Chart and arranged the Sword Array, wanting to intervene and help Yinghuo eliminate Sun Wukong and his ilk.
However, the Eastern King blocked him.
Lord of Heaven Ancestor didn’t take Eastern King seriously, saying coldly, “Step aside, I advise you not to seek death; I don’t want to kill you yet.”
Everyone knew that the Eastern King had been surviving since the Primordial era, so nobody really thought he was very powerful.
Pointing at himself, Eastern King gave a faint smile and said, “Defeat me, and I’ll step aside.”
“Foolish.”
Lord of Heaven Ancestor sneered and then made his move without any hesitation.
Once the Sword Qi descended, striking towards the Eastern King, there was no hesitation at all.
Clang.
The Eastern King blocked the strike with incredible ease.
He shook his head with a smile, without speaking,
But Lord of Heaven Ancestor could see the disdain in his eyes.
Initially, Lord of Heaven Ancestor’s move was just a probe; but seeing that the Eastern King was unharmed, his expression darkened.
The Formation Chart fully revived, the Sword Array filled the sky, and countless Sword Qi rained down, covering the Eastern King beneath it.
This time, even Sun Wukong and the others were getting nervous, worried that the Eastern King might be defeated.
“Haha, look at the people you’ve brought?
All just useless snacks, what about this Eastern King, does he even know how to fight?”
Yinghuo laughed out loud, his expression full of contempt.
But very soon, his laughter ceased, abruptly cut off.
Under the vast expanse of Sword Qi, the Eastern King was still utterly composed.
A stream of Immortal Light appeared around him, protecting himself, and at the same time, he made a move, shattering the Sword Qi.
Even as Lord of Heaven Ancestor tried to overwhelm him with Sword Qi, he could do nothing to the Eastern King.
The Eastern King gave a light smile, staring at Lord of Heaven Ancestor and counter-queried, “Is this all?”
Lord of Heaven Ancestor’s eyes turned frighteningly cold.
He snorted and used even more terrifying Divine Arts.
The Eastern King had thoroughly enraged him; Lord of Heaven Ancestor began to exert his full strength, intending to slay the Eastern King completely.
To everyone’s surprise, the Eastern King remained composed.
He smiled lightly and tried to persuade Lord of Heaven Ancestor, “Fellow Daoist, if this is the limit of your power, then please give up.
You cannot kill me.
If you stop now, I can guarantee that the Great Saint and the others won’t kill you.
What do you think?”
Lord of Heaven Ancestor didn’t speak, but his attacks became even more fierce.
The Eastern King showed no anger; he merely shrugged his shoulders, allowing Lord of Heaven Ancestor to proceed with his assault.
Witnessing this scene, Sun Wukong and the others more or less understood that Lord of Heaven Ancestor couldn’t do anything to the Eastern King.
Not to mention anything else, just in defense alone, the Eastern King was reputed to be peerless.
Thinking of easily breaking through the Eastern King’s defenses was simply a fool’s dream.
The Eastern King shook his head and sighed, “Knowing that it’s impossible, yet you, fellow Daoist, still persevere, such unyielding spirit is truly admirable.”
“Pfft.”
Lord of Heaven Ancestor spat out a mouthful of fresh blood; he was infuriated.
Sun Wukong was speechless; he abandoned his previous thoughts.
The Eastern King was not only unparalleled in defense, but his attacks were also astonishing.
Just with his verbal sparring alone, he could anger someone to death.
Sun Wukong and Yang Jian besieged Yinghuo, and the battle proceeded surprisingly smoothly.
Yinghuo was covered in blood, his gaze fierce as he poured out his mana, trying to take down the two and suppress them in return.
But Sun Wukong and Yang Jian were too dominant, relentlessly pressuring him and giving him no chance at all.
Yinghuo coughed out blood as he was struck by Sun Wukong’s staff, worsening his injuries.
The fiercest fight was probably between the Water God and Primordial Qilin; both were fighting desperately, each wanting to overpower or even kill the other.
In truth, Primordial Qilin was also secretly suffering.
Given his nature, he certainly wouldn’t fight with all his might.
But the Water God wanted to resolve him quickly and then assist Sun Wukong and the others.
That left Primordial Qilin no choice but to join in the struggle.
He couldn’t let himself be truly resolved by the Water God, after all.
Hence, as the Water God launched into a fierce attack, he had no option but to retaliate in kind.
Primordial Qilin really wanted to tell the Water God there was no need for this, he wasn’t about to risk his life for Yinghuo.
If it really didn’t work out, they could both stop fighting and just stand there watching the others fight.
After all, even if Yinghuo died, it was just losing a friend from the Primordial era.
How sincere could friends from the Primordial era be?
Seeing Yinghuo at a disadvantage, Primordial Qilin couldn’t help but transmit a message, suggesting that they cease their fight.
The Water God nodded slightly, ready to join the siege against Yinghuo.
Then, Primordial Qilin blocked her once again.
“You can watch, but you can’t join in the fighting, that’s the limit of what I can tolerate.
This is a battle between Yinghuo and them, I don’t want others to intervene,” he said coldly.
The Water God hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not move to act.
She nodded and said, “Alright.”
Now it was Sun Wukong and the others who were gaining the upper hand, plus, with Sun Wukong’s Undying Body, the Water God didn’t believe they could lose.
Noticing that Primordial Qilin had stopped fighting and was now spectating,
Lord of Heaven Ancestor’s eyes flashed with a sharp glint, he too withdrew his Sword Array, and since Lord of Heaven Ancestor was not making a move, the Eastern King also refrained, simply watching everything with a good-humored smile.
By his demeanor, it was obvious he was full of confidence.
