Chapter 171 - 168: Why the Urgency to Torment Each Other
The Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Bodhisattva was invincibly fierce, wounding Peng Demon King, Yu Rong King, and the Enlightenment Daoist brothers in one go. It truly seemed there was no escape from this calamity.
However, just as the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon was about to deliver another deadly blow, the other brothers had already arrived.
The Ox Demon King raised the Eight Scenic Lanterns, unleashing a vast expanse of purple flames that twisted the very void.
Seeing that the fire was Laojun’s Purifying Purple Flame, the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon immediately withdrew his fist, daring not to clash directly with his flesh, for once touched by this flame, the trouble would be immense! If Wukong had not been taken by Laojun, and if he were not in the Soothing Wind position, he would have already been reduced to ash by the flame.
The Ox Demon King cursed, "Great Mighty Celestial Dragon, stop your violence, I am here to meet your challenge!"
As the Ox Demon King’s fist thundered down, the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon threw his punch intending to meet it head-on, but the Ox Demon King’s palm suddenly opened, revealing a handful of Purifying Purple Flame. The Great Mighty Celestial Dragon was taken aback, inwardly cursing the brazenness of his enemy who cared nothing for propriety, and quickly drew back his arm, swiftly retreating a good distance away.
With the Purple Flame in his possession, the Ox Demon King let out a cold sinister laugh, "Thought you were so fierce, eh? Let’s see if you dare to clash palms with me!"
Grinding his teeth inwardly, the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon knew that the Ox Demon King had a secret technique to control the Purifying Purple Flame, which he himself did not. If the Purple Flame were to contaminate him, he estimated he would lose half his life.
"Brothers, let’s go quickly, don’t delay any longer!" shouted the Ox Demon King as he summoned a sea of flames that cut off the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon’s path, bellowing loudly.
Meanwhile, inside the Da Xiong Palace, the Tathagata looked down and caught sight of the sea of purple flames, realizing that the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon probably couldn’t defeat them.
Although the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon’s mana was not the highest among the Bodhisattvas, his combat power was peerless, capable of contending with Mount Meru, outrageously formidable; even a Bodhisattva as famous as Guanyin might not match him. His fists and feet could break through thousands of foes, and this was no exaggeration. But faced with such a formidable Magical Treasure, all he could do was fret helplessly.
