Great Demon Sun Wukong

Just as Sun Wukong leaped up, Ming Tiekuang had already forcibly broken free from Sun Wukong’s grasp and vanished with a flash of his figure. Ye Zi looked at Sun Wukong with a relieved expression, wanting to say something, but before he could speak, a deafening roar erupted. In that instant, the Dragon Emperor’s attack had arrived. Accompanied by a brilliant golden light, his fists struck directly upon the mountain.

However, amidst the explosive roaring sound, the brows of Sun Wukong and the Dragon Emperor suddenly furrowed. Seeing the Dragon Emperor’s attack unleashed, Ye Zi, not to be outdone and without breaking free from Sun Wukong’s grip on his collar, floated midair as Sun Wukong held him, and then a surge of green light vigorously flared from his body. This green light split into four streams, enveloping Sun Wukong, the Dragon Emperor, Ye Zi himself, and Ming Tiekuang, who had already reached the ground.

One could clearly see that after the green light covered the four of them, it transformed into the shape of a large tree. At the same time, Sun Wukong and the others felt a continuous and gentle yet incessant flow of life force seeping into their bodies from the phantom of the green tree. Especially Ming Tiekuang, who, after breaking out of the Dragon Emperor’s pale golden protective shield, was astonished to find that the blood mist outside no longer caused him any harm. However, the green phantom of the large tree was slowly being consumed.

With this layer of protection and the green light emanating from his body, his battle duration within the blood mist greatly increased. As Wu Ming charged out of the Blood Mist Mountain, the Dragon Emperor let out another roar and then retreated explosively. Still hovering in midair, Sun Wukong, with the use of his Heaven and Earth Dao Eye, could clearly see the Dragon Emperor’s arms shaking slightly, and the sleeves on his arms were already corroded into tattered cloth.

The powerful blow from the Dragon Emperor just now had backfired on himself. The reason was simple: the mountainside that his fists struck was not a real mountainside, but a mass that resembled rotten flesh. It looked exactly like the rocky wall and felt like ordinary rock to the touch, but the moment the Dragon Emperor’s fists made contact, they sank in. It was as if he had smashed his fists into rotten flesh and mud.

After his fists and arms sank in, the golden light on the Dragon Emperor’s arms was instantly devoured, and then two wildly domineering Blood Fiend corrosive forces surged through his arms. Luckily, the Dragon Emperor reacted quickly and withdrew his arms at the first sign of trouble, otherwise it was uncertain if his arms could withstand that corrosive force. Sun Wukong, still flying in midair, looked at the Dragon Emperor’s trembling body due to rage and Ming Tiekuang, who had left the pale golden shield and vanished from sight, and suddenly felt very troubled.

Of course, the trouble did not refer to Wu Ming, who had not yet revealed its true form, but was due to the three newcomers who had just joined them. Besides a little understanding of Ye Zi, Sun Wukong only knew that the Dragon Emperor was strong and Ming Tiekuang was incredibly fast; he knew nothing else about them. This made it impossible for Sun Wukong to issue effective commands to the three during the fight. In fact, Sun Wukong also didn’t think they would heed his commands, although Ye Zi probably would – but Sun Wukong knew Ye Zi was like the Flame God in temperament: if he was to rely on him, he wouldn’t even know how he died.

Just like now, after Ye Zi released that green light onto the four of them, he simply floated in midair, obviously planning not to take any further action. Seeing Sun Wukong’s somewhat anxious gaze, Ye Zi said to him casually, "Don’t worry. If the Dragon Emperor can’t even handle a Wu Ming, then he doesn’t deserve to be the number one powerhouse in the Patrolling Celestial World. Moreover, it seems Ming Tiekuang has discovered Wu Ming’s true form. Don’t worry, with such powerful fighters here, you can just wait for the outcome with ease!"

Upon hearing Ye Zi’s words, Sun Wukong thought about it and felt that made sense. Although Wu Ming was taking full advantage of the terrain, its strength was clear. Moreover, Sun Wukong was also very curious about the Dragon Emperor’s strength and combat ability. So, Sun Wukong and Ye Zi unscrupulously settled down cross-legged midair, watching the Dragon Emperor with great interest. At the moment, the Dragon Emperor didn’t launch another attack but instead circulated his spiritual power to expel the Blood Fiend Force from his arms, and then stood there contemplating something.

Of course, the Dragon Emperor was not only not dissatisfied with Sun Wukong and Ye Zi’s sideline stance but even slightly grateful. With the Dragon Emperor’s status and pride, how could he tolerate others intervening in his battle? Even if Sun Wukong did make a move, he might not say anything, but he would definitely feel uncomfortable in his heart. Finally, after about three to five breaths, the Dragon Emperor shook his arms, and his torn sleeves were restored to their original state.

"So it was you, I thought Wu Ming had already merged with the Blood Mist Mountain. But to erode my Golden Divine Power, it looks like you’ve made quite some progress over the years!" As the Dragon Emperor’s voice sounded, the mountainside in front of him began to tremble violently; the soil and rocks started to tumble down as if some creature was about to crawl out of the mountain. And indeed, Sun Wukong’s thoughts were not off the mark, because soon enough, a seven or eight meters tall earthy-yellow toad appeared in front of the Dragon Emperor.

Behind the toad, a deep hole had formed in the mountainside. Now Sun Wukong understood that the Dragon Emperor’s punch had struck the toad’s belly, but not only did it not harm the toad, but his arms also sank into the toad’s belly and were eroded as a result. Now, it seemed that the Dragon Emperor had seen through the toad’s disguise, and the toad had also chosen to reveal its true form.

"It’s actually this thing, I really can’t imagine how Wu Ming managed to get this here. Tsk tsk, be careful later on, don’t get splashed by the fluid from that toad, or else I won’t be able to save you!" Ye Zi, who had been casual until now, couldn’t help but become a bit nervous upon seeing the giant toad. As a ferocious beast born and bred in the Patrolling Celestial World, Ye Zi instantly recognized what the giant toad was.

"What’s up with that toad, does it have some special reputation? I feel like although the toad is a bit big, its aura is just at the Nine Patterns Supreme level, not even at the Domain Lord level." Sun Wukong, who had activated his Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes, didn’t even need to make a deliberate effort to sense the other’s cultivation level clearly. And besides, aside from apparently carrying deadly poison, this giant toad didn’t seem to have anything special about it.

But Ye Zi just pursed his lips and said, "This giant toad is called Hidden Mountain Tong, and if it was on land or in water, there’d be nothing impressive about it, you could take on ten of them. But the problem is that right now the toad is here on Blood Mist Mountain, and its difficulty level has skyrocketed more than a notch. Moreover, this one is their leader, even the Dragon Emperor could have a bad ending if he’s not careful. Compared to that, my little woods is simply incomparable to this place!"

"Hidden Mountain Tong, what a strange name. So, what do you think, could the Dragon Emperor beat this toad?" Although Sun Wukong still couldn’t see anything special about the toad, he could tell it was definitely not simple from Ye Zi’s words and the Dragon Emperor’s clearly much more cautious expression. After a moment of thought, Ye Zi said, "The Dragon Emperor should win, but it would come at a cost." While Sun Wukong and Ye Zi were discussing who would lose and win, the toad’s bulging eyes were already rotating, locking onto the Dragon Emperor.

"I wondered who could possess such pure divine power, turns out it’s Lord Dragon Emperor, haha, what wind has blown Lord Dragon Emperor to Blood Mist Mountain? Could it be that you’ve specially come to see me because you’re hungry? Hee hee hahaha!" The giant toad could speak human language as well, and it was very smooth-talking. But as its huge mouth opened and closed, blood-red mist and saliva sprayed out, scaring Ye Zi so much that he quickly retreated to the edge of the pale golden light barrier with Sun Wukong and seemed still out of caution, urging Sun Wukong to place multiple defenses of Three Thousand Barren Soil in front of them.

Of course, these defensive earth walls had two holes, so that Sun Wukong and Ye Zi could still watch the fight below. The Dragon Emperor also seemed wary of the mist and saliva, his entire body glowing with golden light, keeping the mist and saliva at bay ten meters in front of him.

"Still playing hard to get, Dragon Emperor? Back then, you rejected me so heartlessly, and now you’ve come to Blood Mist Mountain again. Have you had a change of heart? I knew it, only I am worthy of you!" The giant toad’s words suddenly shifted from serious to the tone of a woman in deep sorrow, complaining about her lover’s long absence. With its body full of pus-filled sores and that huge mouth, now listening to this mournful and euphonious voice, Sun Wukong dropped goosebumps all over the floor. Beside him, Ye Zi suddenly showed an enlightened expression and then quickly covered his mouth with both hands, but the convulsions on his body revealed that he was using all his strength to hold back his laughter.

Seeing Ye Zi’s reaction and the Dragon Emperor’s tightly clenched fists, as well as the prominent veins on his neck, in conjunction with the toad’s words, Sun Wukong suddenly realized something. "Ye Zi, this, this, it can’t be, this toad, is it, is it…" Sun Wukong wanted to articulate his thoughts and doubts, but every time he tried to say it out loud, the image unconsciously came to his mind, and he was inexplicably unable to speak.

Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, Ye Zi finally couldn’t hold it in anymore, bursting into loud laughter, even rolling in midair with tears streaming down his face. Hearing Ye Zi’s sudden laughter, the Dragon Emperor turned his head sharply, his eyes filled with thinly veiled murderous intent that made Ye Zi shiver. Then Ye Zi quickly grabbed Sun Wukong and flew far away without any regard for the blood mist eroding them. They circled Blood Mist Mountain all the way to the other side before Ye Zi finally stopped. Then, still shaking, he patted his chest and said to Sun Wukong, "I told you before about Wu Ming going to Dragon Valley to challenge the Dragon Emperor, right? Now I’ve finally figured out why the Dragon Emperor didn’t kill Wu Ming. That’s because, out of consideration…"

Ye Zi couldn’t help but laugh again at this point!
