867: Chapter 288 Junior Brother 867: Chapter 288 Junior Brother In the Empress’s view, this is actually a bit difficult.
She knows her own son very well.
She is quite clear about the kind of person Jie is.
Whether he can let go of his obsession is really hard to say.
Now, their lives are all dependent on Jie’s whim.
If Jie is unwilling to give up, both mother and son will perish here today.
Yang Jian and Jie fought fiercely, Yang Jian was unstoppable.
Although he was unlike Sun Wukong, who can fearlessly face the Heavenly Thunder, Yang Jian also had the means to shatter the Heavenly Thunder.
The two sides engaged in an intense battle, Jie was ultimately defeated.
The Three-pointed Double-edged Sword in Yang Jian’s hand rested against Jie’s neck, ready to kill him with one strike.
“You lost.”
Yang Jian said calmly.
Jie looked bitter, feeling utterly desolate.
As a Sub-Paramount, revered beneath the Supreme, to be defeated by two Great Heavenly Venerates consecutively was deeply humiliating.
Moreover, he had always claimed to avenge his father by defeating them.
Now it seemed, he was just a joke.
To even talk about avenging his father, just to save his own life would be quite an achievement.
He chuckled bitterly and said, “Kill me.”
Jie closed his eyes, awaiting Yang Jian’s fatal strike.
Yang Jian sighed but retracted his Three-pointed Double-edged Sword.
His murderous intent subsided, and he looked at Jie with some sympathy.
“I actually understand your feelings very much, after all my father was also killed, and my elder brother as well, I understand your desire for revenge.”
Hearing Yang Jian’s words, Jie was slightly startled and looked at Yang Jian with surprise.
“So, you think my revenge is justified?”
Jie was quite astonished.
Standing from Yang Jian’s standpoint, Jie was the one who wanted to kill him, yet Yang Jian could understand him, which was quite unbelievable.
Yang Jian nodded and said, “That’s right, you are not wrong, if one remains indifferent to avenging a father’s death, one can’t be called a true son.”
Upon hearing Yang Jian’s words, Jie nodded firmly and said, “Actually, I have never met my father, and I know he wasn’t a good person, even if he was killed, he deserved to die.
But as his son, I cannot ignore avenging him.”
“I understand.”
Yang Jian nodded.
Jie also showed a smile and said, “Thank you.”
The Empress was simply incredulous; her own son would thank someone.
Was he beaten crazy, or did she hear wrong?
Her own son would say thank you?
And to an enemy?
The Empress was completely stunned, staring at Jie as if trying to see clearly whether this was her son.
In the end, the Empress quickly realized, he was indeed her son, without a doubt.
He really thanked someone, which was simply inconceivable.
No one knew better than her how proud Jie was.
But now, Jie was humble and even grateful, simply making the Empress feel like she was dreaming.
“Want to continue fighting?”
Yang Jian asked.
Shaking his head, Jie replied solemnly, “I am not an ungrateful person, you and Sun Wukong have spared me twice, which equals saving me two lives.
You killed my father once, but spared me twice.
This matter ends here.”
Saying this, Jie suddenly showed a smile and said, “If possible, I would very much like to become friends with you.”
“Alright, we seldom meet someone who can match us in combat skills, we’d be glad to be friends with you.”
Speaking to this point, Yang Jian’s expression became slightly peculiar, he couldn’t help but say, “Actually, you should be grateful for the Great Saint’s mercy, if not for him, you and your mother wouldn’t be alive right now.”
“What?”
Jie was slightly startled.
“Look over there.”
Yang Jian pointed in a direction.
Following Yang Jian’s gesture, Jie looked over.
There he saw the Empress and others, including the Ancestral Dragon and Golden God.
At that moment, Jie finally understood Yang Jian’s meaning.
If Sun Wukong truly wanted to kill them, they would already be dead by now.
With the Ancestral Dragon there, along with the Golden God and Suiren, Sun Wukong could also easily summon powerful reinforcements from the Heavenly Court.
Compared to the lone pair of mother and son, indeed the odds were stacked against them.
Even Jie had to admit, if Sun Wukong wanted to kill them, it would be very simple.
The experts present were actually enough to end their lives.
“Mother, I’m sorry for involving you.”
Jie apologized to the Primordial Empress.
He knew very well, if he chose to fight Yang Jian and others to the death and allowed them to kill him, his mother wouldn’t have any chance of survival either.
Even if Yang Jian and others were kind-hearted, after killing Jie, they wouldn’t let his mother go.
Letting a tiger back to the mountain was something rarely done by true powerhouses in the Three Realms.
Those who could cultivate to the level of Great Heavenly Venerate were naturally no fools.
Even those who could become Immortals were not foolish.
A truly foolish person could not become an Immortal.
They generally act more decisively and wisely than ordinary people.
“Silly child, why say such words to me?
I am your mother, no matter what I do for you, it is only natural.”
Primordial Empress said, with words full of maternal love.
Even the Golden God and others couldn’t help but lament, the Primordial Empress had changed a lot after becoming a mother.
The former Primordial Empress ranked eighth among the top ten of the Primordial, even above the Ancestral Dragon.
