754: Chapter 264: Borrowing a Knife to Kill Someone_4 754: Chapter 264: Borrowing a Knife to Kill Someone_4 What were they doing with that round?
Were they joking around?
Each struck a blow and then fled?
Not to mention killing Sun Wukong, even if it were an ordinary top-tier Great Heavenly Venerate with enough precautions, they might not have been able to kill them.
Yinghuo frowned and said, “My situation is too difficult, unlike yours, you aren’t being watched, but I can sense that the Water God is always watching this part of the world, looking for my whereabouts.
Just now when we took action, we were above the East Sea.
If the Ancestral Dragon had intervened, do you think we would have had any chance to escape?”
Upon hearing this, Shao Siming and the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
Whether it was the Ancestral Dragon or the Water God from the Primordial, once they made a move, it would not have been so easy for the group to escape.
Seeing them start to seriously contemplate, Yinghuo continued, “This attack was merely to gauge Sun Wukong’s strength so that we can devise a strategy against him in the future.
Did you really think it was meant to be a fatal blow?
I always consider every aspect when I take action.”
Upon hearing Yinghuo’s words, Shao Siming and the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow curled their lips.
An old coin is still an old coin, cautious and patient.
Before they could speak, Yinghuo began to lament again, “My situation is too difficult.
Having the Water God as one adversary is bad enough, but now I’ve also incurred the wrath of Sun Wukong, and even offended the entire Heavenly Court.
How will I survive in the future?”
Yinghuo looked dejected, giving off an air of hopelessness.
Nobody responded to him, knowing he was overreacting.
Given Yinghuo’s level of caution, even if he were the enemy of the entire Three Realms, it would probably not affect him much.
In the Heavenly Court, the Water God opened her eyes.
Her Divine Thought swept across the Three Realms because she had sensed Yinghuo’s presence.
They were old adversaries, even archenemies.
The first to sense Yinghuo was the Water God.
Unfortunately, shortly after Yinghuo appeared, he vanished immediately.
Even the Water God couldn’t lock onto him.
After a moment’s thought, the Water God left the residence of the Water Primordial Emperor.
Above the East Sea, not long after Sun Wukong had left, the Water God appeared before them.
Her gaze swept around with a terrifying intent to kill.
“Yinghuo was here just now.”
Her cold eyes fixed on Sun Wukong, not out of hostility towards Sun Wukong, but a murderous intent towards Yinghuo.
It was just that she could hardly contain it.
“He attacked me, failed to wound me with one blow, and immediately escaped far away.
He’s in cahoots with Shao Siming and the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow.”
Sun Wukong nodded slightly.
The Water God’s murderous aura subsided, her eyes on Sun Wukong carrying a hint of apology.
“I’m sorry for involving you,”
The Water God was well aware that because Sun Wukong had taken her to the Heavenly Court, Yinghuo had targeted him.
Yinghuo’s attempt to kill Sun Wukong was either a warning to the Heavenly Court or simply to eliminate a skilled fighter close to the Water God.
Based on the Water God’s understanding of Yinghuo, the latter possibility was very likely.
Yinghuo was cautious, but also ruthless.
As for warnings and compromises, for him, those were things he had never really considered.
Yinghuo, when faced with an adversary or trouble, had only two choices: one was to kill the opponent, and the other was to relentlessly try to kill the opponent.
Sun Wukong chuckled carelessly and said, “Water God, you needn’t say such things.
When I chose to take you to the Heavenly Court, I had already considered this point.
Yinghuo’s move was within my expectations, and it certainly does not count as dragging me into this.
Besides, such unsettlers of peace in the universe need to be eradicated.
If he hadn’t shown himself, how could Old Sun eliminate him?”
The Water God was slightly startled, looking intently at Sun Wukong.
If she didn’t know Yinghuo was a Supreme-level powerhouse, she might even suspect that Sun Wukong intended to eliminate someone as minor as a Celestial Immortal or an Earth Immortal, so relaxed was his tone, totally not considering Yinghuo a threat.
Nu Ba chuckled lightly.
The Water God still didn’t understand Sun Wukong.
She moved forward and hugged the Water God’s arm, laughing as she spoke, “Sister need not think too much.
How could the Great Saint regard Yinghuo, a villain of the night, as a threat?
Rest assured, one day Yinghuo will fall into the hands of the Great Saint.”
Glancing at Nu Ba, the Water God gave a wry smile and said, “You really have a lot of confidence in your man.”
Nu Ba was slightly taken aback by the Water God’s words and blushed, her cheeks as if brushed with rouge.
She glared at the Water God and chided, “Sister, you must be joking.”
But she did not argue.
Having come this far with the Great Saint, what was there to say?
Moreover, no one had said anything wrong.
The Water God could not help but laugh, knowing that Nu Ba was happy, not truly angry.
“Since you both say so, I won’t worry too much.
Great Saint, if you find any trace of Yinghuo, let me know immediately, and I will kill him.”
Coldness flickered in the eyes of the Water God.
She despised Yinghuo to the bone.
Had Yinghuo not schemed against her that day, how could she have fallen?
“Hmm,”
Sun Wukong responded.
However, given Yinghuo’s nature, he probably wouldn’t give Sun Wukong a chance to inform the Water God.
Of course, it’s also possible that Yinghuo might, like he had against the Water God in the past, gather experts and set a trap to strike him fatally.
This was highly likely.
Sun Wukong reminded himself to never be complacent.
Otherwise, he might end up like the Water God during the Primordial era.
