Chapter 1264: Chapter 410: Battle Against Evil Spirits
Sun Wukong bared his teeth; he could barely hold onto his Jingu Bang.
Upon collision, the opponent’s force completely overwhelmed him.
However, after the opponent struck, he did not continue to attack.
Those sacred yet bizarre eyes were fixed on Sun Wukong, making one feel a bit frightened.
A fleeting sharpness flashed in Sun Wukong’s eyes, and he was ready to attack.
The Azure Dragon blocked him and spoke, “Hold on.”
Sun Wukong sneered but halted his actions.
Of course, the main reason was that Sun Wukong couldn’t defeat him, so he didn’t plan to carry on.
The Azure Dragon bowed and said, “Minor deity Azure Dragon, greets Your Majesty, Purple Emperor.”
Sun Wukong and his companions were taken aback; was the so-called Purple Emperor alive? Didn’t he perish in battle?
The enemies surely wouldn’t have left him a chance to survive.
Sun Wukong felt doubtful; if the opponent had resurrected, then his easy retreat could be understood.
A master of the Creation Realm could naturally repel him with ease, causing immense pressure.
Sun Wukong tilted his head, sizing up the Purple Emperor.
He suspected Zibaiqing might not be the Purple Emperor’s biological offspring, as he found no resemblance in their appearances.
The White Tiger and others were also nervous, all staring at the Purple Emperor, watching his reaction.
If the Purple Emperor were alive, it might be a blessing or a curse for them.
Even if he’s alive, they couldn’t claim him to be evil or righteous.
The Purple Emperor remained unmoving; sacred aura and wicked energy intertwined without response.
“Azure Dragon meets Purple Emperor.”
The Azure Dragon continued.
Yet, the Purple Emperor still showed no reaction.
He too was uncertain about whether the Purple Emperor was dead or alive.
When the supreme realm was destroyed, he was slain.
But earlier, he had unmistakably intervened, blocking Sun Wukong’s attack.
The Azure Dragon was unsure and wanted to charge ahead again to determine the Purple Emperor’s state.
At this moment, Sun Wukong suddenly rushed forward, swinging down his staff.
Once again, the Purple Emperor made a move; his battle sword swept, sending Sun Wukong flying away.
Yet, Sun Wukong did not stop this time and attacked again.
He launched eighteen strikes, all blocked.
Evil light flared in the Purple Emperor’s eyes, as his sacred aura spread.
His gaze was penetrating, fixed on Sun Wukong, making everyone feel that the Purple Emperor was somewhat angry.
He was alive, everyone had confirmed it.
It was still unclear whether his consciousness was dominated by an evil entity or his original self.
Having confirmed the opponent was alive, Sun Wukong retreated.
Facing a once-Creation-Realm living being head-on, he was not rash enough.
At this moment, the Purple Emperor spoke, “Leave at once, hurry and depart.”
Before the Azure Dragon could ask why, the Purple Emperor transformed.
His sacred aura instantly dissipated, replaced by overwhelming wicked energy.
Terror enveloped everyone, causing their expressions to change drastically.
“Trouble indeed, the old relic has been possessed by evil after all.”
Sun Wukong said, his expression somewhat unsightly.
Their suspicions were correct; the opponent was possessed by evil, and the Purple Emperor was the source of the outside world’s rampant corpses and mutations.
“We must retreat, call for help.”
Sun Wukong said.
The Azure Dragon smiled wryly; he glanced back and said, “It’s too late.”
Sun Wukong and his companions turned, realizing suddenly, a black mist had appeared behind them.
This serene landscape had instantly transformed into Asura Hell.
A blood-red scene surrounded them, terrifying to the extreme.
Sun Wukong and his companions were gravely serious, knowing there would be major trouble.
“Let’s fight.”
Sun Wukong tightened his grip on the Jingu Bang.
Having clashed with the Purple Emperor several times, he was well aware of his strength.
This Purple Emperor’s combat force might even surpass the Heavenly Emperor.
The Azure Dragon knew there was no better option.
His eyes firmed up, he said, “Let’s fight together, try to break through.”
As for eliminating the Purple Emperor’s corpse, he currently didn’t have that mindset.
Not due to lack of will, but realistically unable to.
The Azure Dragon said, “Your Majesty, pardon my offense.”
The next moment, he moved to attack the Purple Emperor.
Sun Wukong and his companions also displayed their Divine Skills, launching attacks.
This was a test; if they could eliminate the Purple Emperor’s corpse, that would be ideal.
If unable to win, they would just attempt to escape.
Could they possibly fight their way out? Their confidence was lacking.
A Creation Realm corpse, under evil spirit control, would surely wield Heavenly Emperor-level combat power.
Wicked energy roiled from the Purple Emperor, his battle sword slashing out.
Attacks from Sun Wukong and his companions were shattered.
The Azure Dragon trembled, a green glow flashed in his hand as a blue spear appeared, which he wielded and thrust forward.
Evil light sparkled in the Purple Emperor’s eyes, and he swung directly.
Clang.
Azure spear collided with the battle sword, and the Azure Dragon retreated.
His blood thrummed, his expression subtly changed.
The Purple Emperor was too fierce, even stronger than typical Heavenly Emperors. Truly, if a Heavenly Emperor were to intervene, the outcome would not be certain.
With one strike, he repelled the Azure Dragon, then moved to attack the Vermilion Bird.
The Vermilion Bird paled, not daring to confront directly, shifting away in an attempt to dodge the strike.
But the Purple Emperor was faster, with his battle sword at hand, directly giving chase.
His longsword swept to slice the Vermilion Bird in two.
Though the Vermilion Bird struggled to evade, it was futile; it was about to be struck.
Clang.
At that moment, Sun Wukong arrived, using the Jingu Bang to block the battle sword.
His body trembled fiercely, retreating far, but he managed to save the Vermilion Bird.
“Be careful, this thing is very cunning; it knows to target the weaker ones first.”
Sun Wukong shouted, warning everyone to stay alert.
Xuanwu, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger, though supremes, were slightly weaker.
The evil spirit occupying the Purple Emperor’s corpse evidently aimed to kill these three first, then deal with Sun Wukong and the Azure Dragon.
However, this also unveiled a fact; the evil spirit, though having the upper hand against Sun Wukong and the Azure Dragon, lacked overwhelming dominance to crush them.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t matter whom it killed first.
Upon realizing this, Sun Wukong’s eyes brightened.
“I and the Azure Dragon will hold back this thing; the three of you break through that black mist.”
Sun Wukong said.
White Tiger and the others, being involved in combat, wouldn’t have much of an impact, so it was better for them to create an escape route.
As for battling this evil entity, Sun Wukong and the Azure Dragon would handle it, and they could stall for quite some time.
If all else failed, Sun Wukong was prepared for a blood-fight with the opponent. After all, with his Immortal Body and Root of Immortality, he could endure against the foe for a considerable time, which shouldn’t be an issue.
Even if they couldn’t actually escape, the Great Emperor Ziwei and the others, realizing a prolonged absence, would inevitably track down here.
At that point, they could be saved.
Reflecting on this, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but tease himself; rarely did he harbor thoughts of being rescued, usually he was the one saving others.
