The woman was Luo Ting He and she was more than a little ticked. That attack had been a surprise and she did block it, but she has only recently broken through to the 8th rank open heaven realm, unlike the one who had launched the attack she was undoubtedly weaker.
"Hmph! A new 8th rank dares to call herself a queen in front of this king? Impertinent fool. See how I deal with you after we've killed this threat. So be a good little girl and wait for your punishment." Bright Sun Divine Monarch shouted in return.
"Why you, I won't allow you to harm him nor will I let you interfere with his breakthrough. I'll take you all on if I have… to." Luo Ting He started saying when someone grabbed her hand. "Little Qing Ning, what are you doing?" She asked, clearly confused.
"Don't go out there. Those three have already earned my husband's ire. If you go now, it will only make things more difficult for him." Qing Ning explained. "Forgive me for grabbing hold of your hand. It was rude of me, but it was all I could do to get your attention." She added an explanation for her actions.
"Oh, no worries, if it kept me from making this worse for our human race's mightiest, then it's fine. He has been a boon of untold proportions ever since he arrived." Luo Ting He said as she calmed down, and then with interest grabbed hold of Qing Ning's hands. "By the way, can you explain a couple of things? First what is going to happen to those three, and then… How did you get your hands to be so smooth? It puts my 7th rank self to shame, ah so soft and perfect." She asked, examining Qing Ning's hand.
"Supreme Elder, I can answer the first, but the second…" Qing Ning said, blushing and turned away slightly, before turning back. "The second question should be answered, privately." Qing Ning added, in a soft tone.
A smirk came across Luo Ting He's lips. "I see, then tell me, is it really alright to leave those three alone?" She asked, knowing what Qing Ning meant by privately answering the follow up question. "I know my Young Martial Nephew is quite powerful, but I'd heard he's been struggling with stability in his cultivation. Moreover, the breakthrough to the open heaven realm is not easy. Especially when one goes directly to the high ranks… That is not a normal, nor easy experience. And now he's got 3 8th ranks attempting to attack… him…" She started explaining her reasons for worry.
"You 3 foolish ones, I'd appreciate it if you would stop buzzing around like gnats. You have zero hope of defeating me, so just buzz off already." I said, having my voice carry along with the start of spherical bursts of power expanding out, originating from me. And these bursts carried through many nearby Territories. The reach was rather far, far enough that even Yang Kai, who was dealing with some ink clan, could hear it.
"AH, such power…" Heavenly River Divine Monarch uttered, in shock as their small universe trembled violently.
"You dare to call us gnats? Boy, your insults go too far. Have you not learned about respecting your elders?" Withering Flame Divine Monarch asked, in a cold sweat as he sensed the depths of the danger before him.
"Hmm, from my perspective, you three are currently undeserving of any respect. I'm sure the Supreme Elders watching this encounter also agree with my decision." I explained, with a simple tone.
"Boy, that's no way to speak to your betters." Bright Sun Divine Monarch grumbled.
"AHAHAHA! Betters? You? Just because you have that fancy title of Divine Monarch, doesn't make you my betters." I laughed, as my wood element was nearing completion. "After all, would a better go and hunt down others, out of fear they will be destroyed by said quarry? Would a Divine Monarch truly suppress the breakthrough of another? It doesn't like the actions of the Divine to me. So quit with your foe outrage against me. Calling the three of you gnats is fitting, so annoying." I berated them, and my wood element was practically finished now. "Now, if you don't wish to die without knowing what caused it, I suggest you retreat. My final element has finished refinement. I can promise, if you are this close, you will die." I added, as my breakthrough began in full swing.
"YOU LIE! NO ONE CAN REFINE THAT FAST!!! DIE BRAT!!!" Bright Sun Divine Monarch yelled enraged. "You're just like that other brat! No, worse." He added firing a special technique attack, aiming for the center of the cocoon.
The attack came hurtling close, it wasn't alone though. Two other attacks came with it, combining a sort of empowering effect between the three of them. The attacks vanished into nothing, as a single bolt of lightning destroyed them completely.
"You're fools, but it seems I won't be the one to kill you this time. As someone else seems to be quite eager to do it themselves and I can't really say no to them about it." I sighed, as Yang Kai appeared with his three disciples in tow. "Make sure they really feel the pain, father." I chuckled.
Yang Kai cracked his knuckles, with a murderous grin and aura he snickered. "That, I, Can, Prom, Ise." He answered slowly, clearly enraged.
"Make sure you get out range and quick though, I can't hold back anymore than a few breaths. These annoying gnat flies were rather rude in taking too much of my time." I explained, with a bead of sweat running down from my brow.
"Good luck junior brother on your breakthrough to the 8th rank open heaven realm." Xu Yi said, cupping his hands as Zhao Ye Bai teleported himself and the other two away to a safe distance. These three were going to watch the events unfold as well.
"Now the three of you… I wonder if your insides are just as shitty as your outsides? Daring to lift a finger against my son… That is a quick way to the cycle of reincarnation." Yang Kai said in a cold and deadly tone of voice, teleporting himself along with the 3 8th ranks far, far away. There, Yang Kai showed the 3 fools what happened to his enemies, and it didn't take long before their heads were his.
