874: Chapter 289 Taking Down_2 874: Chapter 289 Taking Down_2 Xie Guangkun suddenly understood.
The way they looked at Li Guangming changed.
This senior brother may not be strong, but he’s definitely a crafty old coin.
Without even drawing a blade, he managed to eliminate a powerful opponent.
Nearly impossible for anyone else to achieve.
Even the Great Heavenly Venerate looked at Li Guangming with a touch of awe, silently thinking that it was best not to provoke this senior brother in the future, lest they meet an untimely end.
Meanwhile, Sun Juekong found a city of the Human Race and settled down.
Thinking back on what had happened just now, the more he thought, the angrier he became.
His eyes filled with a murderous glint, Sun Juekong sneered, “Master has really gone senile, letting such a useless person be our leader.
Heh, wanting me to follow a useless guy’s command?
What a joke.”
He always looked down on Li Guangming.
The other was the master’s first disciple, but even now, he was just a Heavenly Venerate.
And a relatively weak one at that.
How could he possibly respect such a person?
If it were him training for that long, he would have become a Supreme already, let alone just a Heavenly Venerate.
Even a pig wouldn’t be stuck at the Heavenly Venerate realm after so many years.
With these thoughts spinning in his mind, Sun Juekong also thought of Sun Wukong, his eyes flashing with malice.
“What a cunning monkey, even I was tricked.
But this proves that the monkey doesn’t dare face me head-on.
He’s worried he’s not my match.
Hahaha, no wonder Master named me Sun Juekong.
‘Juekong,’ to completely vanquish the monkey.”
Thinking of this, Sun Juekong couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
However, his over-excitement aggravated his wounds, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood.
Sun Wukong’s blow had indeed intended to kill him.
Though unsuccessful, it did severely injure him.
“Can’t underestimate that monkey; he’s much stronger than a useless guy like Li Guangming.”
Sun Juekong’s heart grew heavy.
He knew clearly that today, he had suffered this loss due to his own carelessness.
If he had been more vigilant, giving more importance to that monkey, this would not have been the outcome.
Taking a deep breath, Sun Juekong’s eyes flashed with resolve.
Sun Wukong, just you wait.
Once he healed, he would go and find trouble with Sun Wukong again.
This time, Sun Wukong wouldn’t have it so easy.
With this thought in mind, Sun Juekong began to heal his wounds.
Meanwhile, after defeating Sun Juekong, Sun Wukong immediately sent a Jade Talisman to Yang Jian, informing him all about Sun Juekong.
Because once Sun Juekong recovered, he might target Yang Jian.
The other’s appearance had a hint of conspiracy.
It seemed that Haotian God was planning a return, and Sun Juekong was just the vanguard, testing the strength of the Three Realms’ powerhouses for Haotian God.
He might even want Sun Juekong to gain some reputation so that Haotian God could gain momentum more easily in the Three Realms.
Having done all this, a guest arrived.
Jie came to Huaguo Mountain.
He had recovered from his wounds.
Although he had been severely injured before, with the help of the Primordial Empress’s mother, such a wound was nothing to Jie.
“You’re healed.”
Sun Wukong glanced at Jie and nodded slightly.
Jie said solemnly, “That Sun Juekong shares your origin and is most likely Haotian God’s disciple.
My mother and I suspect that Haotian God is planning a return.”
Hearing this, Sun Wukong smiled and said, “Yes, I think so too.”
“My mother is Haotian God’s enemy, so she wants to join forces with you to fight Haotian God when he returns.”
At this point, Jie’s face grew even more serious, “Sun Wukong, I know you’re powerful, but Haotian God is even stronger, potentially reaching the realm of the Three Pure Ones.
He’s not easily dealt with.”
“Moreover, given Haotian God’s personality, if he’s willing to return, it means he’s fully prepared, confident in his ability and strength to remain undefeated.
Do not underestimate him, thinking the Heavenly Court alone can resist Haotian God.”
“Perhaps, this time when Haotian God returns, he won’t even fear the Three Pure Ones.”
This final speculation, though startling, was not impossible.
Given Haotian God’s nature, this was very likely.
Otherwise, why would he return if he knew he was doomed?
He must have something planned.
“Of course, Old Sun is willing to cooperate with the Empress.
Haotian God is our mutual enemy, we are natural allies.”
Sun Wukong laughed.
Even if the Primordial Empress hadn’t approached him, he would have sought her out to join forces against Haotian God.
Jie smiled, knowing it would end this way.
With Sun Wukong’s agreement, things couldn’t be better.
“You didn’t kill us just to deal with Haotian God, did you?”
Jie suddenly thought of this possibility and stared at Sun Wukong intensely.
Sun Wukong naturally wouldn’t admit it and firmly replied, “No.”
This reassured Jie.
If Sun Wukong had spared them for this purpose,
he would have reevaluated Sun Wukong, realizing his deep scheming nature, making it best to keep a distance.
