You were the ones who forced Jieyin and Zhunti to hand over their treasures, and now you're acting all innocent.
Shameless!
How could this Monkey be so damn shameless?!
Ye Jun looked at Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi with a mischievous grin.
"Fellow Daoists, are you still planning to claim the Gourd Vine?" Ye Jun asked, his face full of disdain.
Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi were locked in an inner struggle. The Gourd Vine was an Innate Spiritual Root, after all!
It would be a lie to say they weren't tempted!
But the situation was simply too much for them to handle.
"Fellow Daoist Ye Jun, I just remembered that there are still some matters in the demon race that need to be dealt with. I'll be heading back now." Di Jun gave an awkward smile.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi could only try to appease Ye Jun as well.
There was no helping it. Ye Jun was the only Quasi-Saint here, and he was stronger than they were!
If they didn't back down now, leaving might be the least of their worries.
Hadn't they just seen how miserably Jieyin and Zhunti had left?
Ye Jun raised an eyebrow. Not bad. Those two at least knew when to back down!
"This really is... sigh, I don't know what to say. Since you have important matters to attend to in the demon race, I won't keep you any longer, fellow Daoists." Ye Jun waved them off magnanimously.
Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi turned and left at once. They simply couldn't stay here any longer.
They had come to Buzhou Mountain for the Gourd Vine. Even if they couldn't get it, they couldn't afford to lose anything else.
Otherwise, they'd be taking a huge loss.
Only after Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi had gone far from Buzhou Mountain did Ye Jun slowly turn to look at the Three Pure Ones.
These three were much harder to deal with!
"Fellow Daoists?" Ye Jun asked, raising an eyebrow.
Yuanshi Tianzun snorted before replying, "Ye Jun, Buzhou Mountain doesn't belong to you alone. We three will take just three of the gourds from the Gourd Vine!"
"Perhaps you didn't hear me just now, Fellow Daoist Yuanshi. I said that the Gourd Vine is all mine!" Ye Jun said slowly.
Although Ye Jun was smiling, his hand gripped the cold shaft of the God-Slaying Spear tightly.
"Impossible! Whoever sees it gets a share. Those two bald monks, Jieyin and Zhunti, may be afraid of you, but we three aren't!" Yuanshi Tianzun roared.
The Three Pure Ones were Pangu Orthodox. Pangu's will on Buzhou Mountain even gave them a slight boost.
Though all three of them were only at the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, Ye Jun had only just broken through to Quasi-Saint.
Could he really take on all three of them at once?
Yuanshi Tianzun refused to believe it!
"Fine. Then let's fight!" Ye Jun said casually, thrusting the God-Slaying Spear straight at Yuanshi Tianzun.
"Three Treasures Jade Ruyi!" Yuanshi Tianzun cried, and a translucent jade ruyi slowly appeared above his head.
Great Dao Laws swirled around the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and Dao Rhyme filled Yuanshi Tianzun's body.
Ye Jun sneered. His magic power surged, and the God-Slaying Spear in his hand transformed into a long dragon once more, charging toward Yuanshi Tianzun.
In an instant, the God-Slaying Spear collided with the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.
Boom!
A tremendous crash rang out. Everyone saw a figure blasted straight off the summit of Buzhou Mountain.
"Before the might of a Quasi-Saint, how could you dare challenge me?" Ye Jun descended slowly, the killing intent of the God-Slaying Spear growing even stronger!
The many gods and demons stared at the scene, dumbfounded.
"Th-this is the difference between a Quasi-Saint and a Grand Unity Golden Immortal?"
Taishang Laojun and Tongtian both sucked in a sharp breath. After breaking through to Quasi-Saint, this Monkey had become even more formidable.
"Brother, attack!" Tongtian said gravely.
At a time like this, they couldn't afford to back down!
Tongtian formed a seal with one hand, and the Qing Ping Sword shot into the sky as a streak of azure light.
Taishang Laojun held nothing back either, bringing out both the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda and the Coiled Dragon Staff.
The three spirit treasures stirred up a massive storm of spiritual energy across the summit of Buzhou Mountain. At its center, Ye Jun was surrounded by danger on all sides!
With two of the Three Pure Ones joining forces, there were few in the entire Primordial World who could escape unscathed.
Ye Jun merely snorted. He drew a deep breath, and the killing power of the God-Slaying Spear surged. Killing intent swirled around him as well.
He looked just like a god of slaughter descended upon the world!
With a furious roar, Ye Jun gathered the thick killing intent around him into a gigantic palm print and slammed it straight at Tongtian and Taishang Laojun.
The killing intent surrounding Ye Jun alone was enough to fill all of Buzhou Mountain with murderous energy.
Before Taishang Laojun could even steady himself, the palm suddenly rushed toward him.
"Not good!" Taishang Laojun cried. His hands rapidly formed several seals, and the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda suddenly returned above his head.
Vast Xuanhuang energy billowed around the pagoda, forming a barrier around Taishang Laojun in an attempt to block the palm.
The Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda was the foremost merit-based treasure among the Innate Treasures, with an astonishingly powerful defense.
There were few treasures in the entire Primordial World that could match its defensive power.
It was certainly a fine spirit treasure, but Ye Jun was now a Quasi-Saint. The path of cultivation was a climb to the heavens with every step.
The sheer depth of a Quasi-Saint's Spiritual Energy far surpassed that of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
After taking Ye Jun's brutal blow, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda shuddered, and Taishang Laojun was sent flying backward like a kite with its string cut.
Tongtian's eyes narrowed. Was this the difference between a Quasi-Saint and a Grand Unity Golden Immortal?
The Three Pure Ones were Pangu Orthodox, and all three were at the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. They also had many spirit treasures at their disposal.
They even had the advantage of terrain and timing on Buzhou Mountain, yet they still couldn't make up for the gap between a Quasi-Saint and a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
After blasting Taishang Laojun away, Ye Jun dusted off his hands and looked at Tongtian.
"Now you're the only one left, Fellow Daoist!" Ye Jun said with disdain.
So what if they were the Three Pure Ones?
They were still defeated by him!
Tongtian was seething with hatred for Ye Jun. If he weren't so outmatched, he would have already charged in to fight this Monkey to the death!
"We Three Pure Ones withdraw from the contest for the Gourd Vine!" Tongtian said gravely.
Only then did Ye Jun nod in satisfaction. That was more like it.
It saved him the trouble of fighting.
Tongtian's expression was grim. He walked over to Taishang Laojun and helped him up, then carried the unconscious Yuanshi Tianzun away in a streak of light.
"All right, the last three flies have left. That means only a few of us remain on Buzhou Mountain," Ye Jun said with a smile.
Ye Jun wore a harmless smile, as if he hadn't just blasted Yuanshi Tianzun away with a single blow.
As if he hadn't just broken through the combined forces of Taishang Laojun and Tongtian.
