866: Chapter 287: Defeating Jie_8 866: Chapter 287: Defeating Jie_8 Yang Jian sneered coldly, the vertical eye at his brow opened, a beam of light like a Heavenly Sword, directly splitting the thunder and charging out.
The opponent had Thunder Dao, he likewise had his Heavenly Eye and other techniques that could counter Heavenly Thunder.
Lian Jie was a bit shocked, his Thunder Dao was broken again.
He was beginning to doubt his existence, encountering one formidable opponent after another today, all possessing methods to counter Thunder Dao.
Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, each more defiant than the other.
They fought fiercely once again, starting close combat and showcasing their martial arts.
Sun Wukong paid no attention to this, knowing Yang Jian’s strength well, he didn’t believe Yang Jian would lose.
It seemed Yang Jian had never met a worthy opponent since his debut, undefeated in his same realm.
Sun Wukong’s figure flashed, appearing at the position of Ancestral Dragon and his group.
Several of Ancestral Dragon’s companions were astonished, Sun Wukong had discovered their hiding place, catching them by surprise.
The corners of his mouth curled into a smile, Sun Wukong said, “Is it necessary to be so surprised?
With such commotion, if Old Sun couldn’t sense it, it wouldn’t be worth your trip.”
Afterwards, Sun Wukong’s gaze fell on the Empress.
“This is the Primordial Empress, right?”
Glancing at Sun Wukong, the Primordial Empress nodded.
She originally didn’t want to bother with Sun Wukong, but his mercy towards Lian Jie earlier earned him some favor from her.
Otherwise, with her temperament, she would likely ignore Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong smiled faintly, asking, “Empress, would you let me off?
Don’t think about avenging Yinghuo.”
Seeing the Empress silent, Sun Wukong thought for a bit and said, “Let me rephrase, does the Empress want to die or live?”
The Primordial Empress’s eyes burst with cold light, feeling insulted, her sharp gaze fixed on Sun Wukong, cold gleams flickering.
“It seems the Empress wants to die, three of you, attack together, let’s deal with her, I don’t want her becoming a future trouble.”
After Sun Wukong spoke, a fierce killing intent emanated from him.
The Primordial Empress was slightly stunned, her face turned pale.
At that moment, she cleared up.
In the presence of Sun Wukong, there was no need for her to put on airs of the Primordial Empress.
Because Sun Wukong simply didn’t care.
The most important thing was, if she didn’t concede, she would die.
Not only would she die, but Lian Jie would die too.
Though humiliated, the Primordial Empress still said, “I want to live.”
Sun Wukong smiled, submission was sufficient.
He had gone to lengths not to kill Lian Jie, just to avoid a dire conflict with the Empress.
The reason for avoiding conflict with the Empress was due to the behavior of Ancestral Dragon and his companions.
For some reason, Ancestral Dragon’s group was earnestly trying to prevent the clash between him and the Primordial Empress, fearing her death.
Though unsure of the reason, Sun Wukong respected their choice, endeavoring not to kill the Primordial Empress.
But he couldn’t leave such an enemy behind.
Thus, the trouble needed to be resolved thoroughly.
First step was subduing Lian Jie.
Only then might Lian Jie abandon his revenge.
Based on the information from Golden God, Sun Wukong knew, the Empress’s desire for revenge wasn’t strong; to her, the Fire God was merely a heartless man.
But Lian Jie, as Yinghuo’s son, naturally sought revenge.
As long as Lian Jie abandoned his thoughts of revenge, and let the Empress sense Sun Wukong and his companions’ strength, this matter would be settled.
Afterwards, Sun Wukong definitely needed to understand why Ancestral Dragon’s group was protecting the Primordial Empress.
Sun Wukong restrained his killing intent, his gaze fell on the two fighters, saying, “When Lian Jie is defeated, let my brother spare him once more.
This way, Lian Jie should relinquish thoughts of revenge.
Empress, please do some mental work on Lian Jie.
Old Sun hopes we can be friends in the future, not enemies.”
The Empress was moved, her eyes sparkled.
Sun Wukong meant not to harm Lian Jie, sparing his life.
At this point, Sun Wukong already had the qualification to kill them.
But he chose not to, showing mercy.
Thinking of this, the Empress felt a bit ashamed.
She said solemnly, “If the Great Saint can ensure my son’s safety, I will agree to your request.”
“Rest assured, I won’t kill him.
I’ve already discussed it with my brother.”
Sun Wukong smiled.
Hearing this, the Empress couldn’t help asking, “Why are you so certain my son isn’t Yang Jian’s match?”
“Do you know why I call him brother?” Sun Wukong countered.
He didn’t explain much further; the other party should understand.
If she didn’t understand, there was nothing he could do.
The Empress was slightly stunned, she indeed understood.
Her eyes fixated on Yang Jian, admiration blooming.
Such a man, compared to Yinghuo, was far stronger by a significant margin.
Although currently his strength wasn’t as great as Yinghuo’s, given time, he might far surpass Yinghuo.
A man like this could surely be considered a remarkable figure in the world.
With Sun Wukong’s guarantee, the Empress was finally at ease.
She knew the root of their conflict with Sun Wukong lay with Lian Jie.
If Lian Jie didn’t relent, they would inevitably face Sun Wukong and his companions.
She only hoped, two defeats, and spared life twice, would extinguish Lian Jie’s thoughts of revenge.
