Capítulo 1262: Chapter 408: The Unreliable Azure Dragon
The Vermilion Bird was stunned, and when she came to her senses, her expression was even more shocked.
Illusion.
She had been caught in Sun Wukong’s illusion technique but hadn’t realized it herself, thinking she was truly battling Sun Wukong.
If Sun Wukong had killed her in the illusion just now, she would still have died.
Sun Wukong had shown mercy.
Realizing this, the Vermilion Bird’s gaze toward Sun Wukong finally completely changed.
“Thank you.”
The Vermilion Bird expressed her gratitude.
To pull her into illusion unknowingly, such power was already beyond her reach.
At this moment, if she continued to be ungrateful, it would be unreasonable.
With a faint smile, Sun Wukong said, “You’re the sister of the White Tiger; I, Old Sun, don’t wish to harm you. Let’s erase the grievances between us; from now on, we’re friends.”
“Alright.”
The Vermilion Bird nodded.
She too was straightforward; after making the decision, she felt relieved instead.
Sun Wukong smiled faintly and said to the Azure Dragon, “We can set off.”
“My God, it was an illusion.”
At this time, Xuanwu finally reacted.
The White Tiger rolled her eyes at Xuanwu; he was simply too slow.
She had already figured it out earlier, feeling very grateful to Sun Wukong.
She understood Sun Wukong’s character; if he hadn’t spared her for her sake, the Vermilion Bird would already be dead.
Xuanwu awkwardly smiled and said no more.
The Azure Dragon had noticed from the start, after all, his power and realm far surpassed the others.
“Now that the misunderstanding is resolved, let’s attend to business. Everyone should have no more doubts about the Great Saint’s strength, right?”
The Azure Dragon said lightly.
Xuanwu nodded, now fully acknowledging Sun Wukong’s power.
As for the White Tiger, she had never doubted Sun Wukong.
Then, the Azure Dragon made a move, tearing a gap in the chaos ahead.
That was the seal of the Purple Emperor’s Tomb; the creator was already worried that the corpses would cause a demonic disturbance.
As soon as the seal was opened, demon spirits wanted to rush out.
Sun Wukong smashed over a corpse equivalent to a Great Heavenly Venerate level with one strike.
However, there wasn’t a trace of ease on Sun Wukong’s face.
He could see, inside the Purple Emperor’s Tomb, endless corpses stretched as far as the eye could see.
There were Supreme level evil auras stirring, more than one.
No wonder the Azure Dragon and the others couldn’t get in and needed assistance.
“Let’s go.”
Sun Wukong said.
He and the Azure Dragon led the charge inside.
The White Tiger and the other three followed behind, attacking the gathering corpses.
Immediately upon entry, Sun Wukong felt immense pressure.
Dozens of remnants shone, releasing monstrous evil energy, launching terrifying attacks that engulfed him and the Azure Dragon.
Sun Wukong swung the Jingu Bang, pushing his mana to the limit, shattering the attacks.
The Azure Dragon too, with powerful energy surging through him, crushed the attacks and pushed forward.
They struggled to break through, shattering one remnant after another.
Even combining efforts, Sun Wukong and the Azure Dragon found it challenging.
Sun Wukong couldn’t help but ask the Azure Dragon, “How did you almost make it in before? These demonic transformed corpses are too strong.”
The Azure Dragon blushed slightly, somewhat embarrassedly saying, “Ahem, we didn’t make it in; we were beaten back shortly after entering.”
Sun Wukong was speechless; how did the Azure Dragon conclude they were just a bit short of reaching the deepest point?
Seeing Sun Wukong’s surprised gaze, the Azure Dragon awkwardly smiled, saying, “I thought it was just a bit short; with your help, we are surely about to get in.”
Sun Wukong strongly resisted the urge to give him the middle finger.
He swung the Jingu Bang, smashing one remnant after another, painstakingly advancing.
To say they were just a little short made Sun Wukong want to curse.
This is far from being a little short!
Seeing remnants rushing wildly ahead, Sun Wukong was utterly speechless.
The seemingly stable Azure Dragon turned out to be so unreliable at times.
But having reached this point, they must deal with it.
Sun Wukong had no habit of retreating lightly, so his moves became increasingly fierce.
They pushed hard, even Xuanwu couldn’t help but mutter, thinking the leader was too misleading.
This was hardly a little short; it was far from it.
They were overwhelmed by remnants, potentially truly getting wiped out here.
The five major powerhouses employed various powerful means, traversing unknown distances.
Primarily, all around, above, and below, gods and demons’ remnants crazily rushed toward them.
Among them were some extremely powerful beings, approaching the Supreme realm, which even Sun Wukong and the others would need some tactics to defeat.
After three days, only Sun Wukong continued to maintain strong combat powers, while the Azure Dragon and others showed fatigue.
Such intense battle even made them somewhat unbearable.
They were glad they had brought Sun Wukong.
If it were other Supremes, even the strongest below the Heavenly Emperor, none would have Sun Wukong’s enduring combat strength.
Now, eighty percent of the gods and demons’ remnants rushing toward them were being held back by Sun Wukong alone.
They were just dealing with the remaining twenty percent and already felt stretched thin.
Even the Vermilion Bird’s gaze on Sun Wukong was filled with admiration.
Now it seemed, Sun Wukong was much more reliable than the Azure Dragon.
“How much further?”
The White Tiger asked, somewhat unable to hold on.
This relentless battle heavily tested a living being.
“Almost there.”
The Azure Dragon replied.
However, White Tiger and the others clearly didn’t believe it, all pursing their lips.
They felt the leader Azure Dragon was truly misleading.
At this moment, Sun Wukong said, “Almost there.”
The group immediately perked up, with the White Tiger saying, “Great, I’m exhausted to death.”
Xuanwu also said, “Good, almost there; I really can’t fight anymore.”
The Vermilion Bird, unrestrained, was most direct.
“It’s all the leader’s fault, judgment error almost killed us; if not for the Great Saint, if it were other Supremes, we’d be dead.”
The Azure Dragon turned black-faced, glaring at the Vermilion Bird, saying irritably, “How can you say that, if not for the White Tiger inviting the Great Saint, if you hadn’t driven the Great Saint away, we’d have been in trouble; we should thank the White Tiger.”
The Vermilion Bird was momentarily speechless because the Azure Dragon told the truth.
She snorted coldly, refraining from further words.
The Azure Dragon wore a smug expression, having won this round.
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, finally understanding why the Azure Dragon lacked authority among the four; with such a demeanor, it’s hard to have authority.
Under Sun Wukong’s leadership, they broke through the remnants’ encirclement, arriving at a peaceful area.
Relatively speaking, it was peaceful.
Six corpses stood there, mostly intact aside from a bloody hole in the forehead.
When Sun Wukong and the others appeared, all six corpses instantly opened their eyes.
