768: Chapter 266 Kill Yinghuo_3 768: Chapter 266 Kill Yinghuo_3 The battle raged on, reaching a point of madness.
Yinghuo exerted his full strength, furiously clashing with Sun Wukong and Yang Jian.
The blood-red halberd in his hands had several notches, nearly destroyed in the combat.
All three were covered in blood, with Yang Jian looking particularly disheveled, sporting a massive wound on his chest that had almost cleaved him in two.
Had it not been for his Mysterious Skill protecting him, his mighty flesh would have suffered a severe blow from that strike.
Even Sun Wukong had been bisected at the waist, but endowed with an Undying Body, he showed no fear at all.
Yinghuo glared at the two of them, viciously declaring, “Dare you face me in single combat?”
Sun Wukong didn’t even bother to acknowledge him, his attacks growing even more fierce.
Single combat, what a joke.
This was a life-or-death struggle, not a contest of skills.
As long as they could kill Yinghuo, the means were unimportant.
Yinghuo snorted coldly, obviously aware of Sun Wukong’s intentions.
His gaze was sinister, his malevolence reaching the skies.
Infinite flames drowned them, Divine Fire so powerful it could cause Supremes to pale.
Sun Wukong’s heart shook.
Opening his mouth, he swallowed the opponent’s Divine Fire.
Then, he circulated the Samadhi True Fire in his belly to envelop and relentlessly refine that cluster of Divine Fire.
“What?”
Yinghuo’s face changed.
His Divine Fire was incredibly powerful, more domineering and potent than any Samadhi True Fire or Six Ding Divine Fire, and he hadn’t expected Sun Wukong to swallow it whole.
“Old Sun fears neither water nor fire.
Back then, within Lord Taishang’s Pill Furnace, I was refined by the Samadhi True Fire for forty-nine days, yet it couldn’t subdue me.
Although your Divine Fire is domineering, its power is not necessarily stronger than the Elder Lord’s Samadhi True Fire,” Sun Wukong said with a cold laugh.
Only then did Yinghuo remember this fact and took a deep breath.
His eyes sparkled with a cold light, no longer using fire tactics.
They engaged in a pure exchange of Mana, a shower of blood erupting throughout the heavens.
Even the Qilin and others trembled at the sight.
Together, the monkey and Yang Jian were terrifyingly formidable.
The mighty Yinghuo was being completely suppressed by them.
“My friend, aren’t they growing too rapidly?
What if they become uncontrollable later on?”
A voice whispered in Lord Taishang’s ear.
Lord Taishang smiled faintly, saying, “All within my expectations, there will be no loss of control.
Rest assured, my friend.”
“Good.”
The voice disappeared.
Lord Taishang, witnessing the battle displayed in the Cloud Mirror, had a flickering gaze, lost in thought.
The growth in power of both Yang Jian and Sun Wukong was truly unexpected.
Both had given him a great surprise.
Now, together, they could even suppress a Supreme.
Of course, this was also related to Yinghuo’s abilities.
Yinghuo was Supreme, but he cared too much for schemes.
This led to modest growth in his power and when it came to conflict, he wasn’t particularly formidable.
If he were up against the likes of the Lord of Heaven Ancestor, even if Yinghuo could suppress his opponent, it wouldn’t be easy.
Not to mention facing beings like the Ancestral Dragon or Emperor Jun, who were among the top tier within the Supremes.
After thousands of rounds of fierce battle, Yinghuo finally could no longer endure.
He shouted to the Lord of Heaven Ancestor, “My friend, save me.”
The Lord of Heaven Ancestor stood still, stating indifferently, “This is your own affair, resolve it yourself.
Moreover, if you cannot even defeat two juniors with Sub-Paramount combat power, how can you even claim to be a Supreme?”
Yinghuo nearly exploded with rage.
Fame and life, he knew well which one was more important.
He had thought his relationship with the Lord of Heaven Ancestor was sound and that the latter would never abandon him.
Now it seemed he had been conceited; the Lord of Heaven Ancestor had no intention to help him, even adopting a stance of aloofness, now adding insult to injury with his words.
Claiming he wasn’t fit to be called a Supreme, let’s see if he could do any better himself.
Yinghuo seethed with anger, his gaze darkening as he glanced involuntarily at the Lord of Heaven Ancestor.
The Lord of Heaven Ancestor’s brows furrowed.
Knowing Yinghuo well, he realized that Yinghuo now bore hatred for him.
“My friend, I’ve suddenly come to the conclusion that Yinghuo has committed unforgivable atrocities and should be killed by all.
I wish to turn away from the darkness and join you in eliminating this Demon Fiend,” he proclaimed.
With these words, everyone was stunned.
Nobody had expected the Lord of Heaven Ancestor to say such a thing, to turn against Yinghuo.
Was he serious?
The Qilin transmitted a question, “Tongtian, what’s going on with you?
Why are you taking action against Yinghuo?”
The Lord of Heaven Ancestor transmitted back, “We didn’t help him, and now he harbors hatred towards us.
He seems to have no chance of escape, but if by some chance he does manage to get away, he will surely seek revenge.
You know his character; do you think we would be spared then?”
The Qilin’s mind raced; he too was cunning and liked to strike from the shadows.
Yet, he also felt some dread towards Yinghuo.
The latter was too ruthless, stopping at nothing to achieve his goals.
This was why, although not on the best terms with Yinghuo, the Qilin had maintained a good relationship with him.
Being targeted by such a person could indeed be highly troublesome.
In his heart, he had no doubts about the Lord of Heaven Ancestor’s words, seeing Yinghuo in the same light.
With this in mind, a cold light flickered in the Qilin’s eyes.
“Indeed, dear comrades, Yinghuo is brutal; we have long disapproved of him.
We hope you grant us a chance to join you in cutting down this Demon Fiend,” he also declared.
The Water God and the others looked at each other in confusion, thinking perhaps they had misheard.
Hadn’t these three just been as close as brothers, and now their faces had turned so quickly?
