Chapter 1972: A desperate struggle, a life-or-death situation

With a "creak," the square platform where Tang Seng was located snapped, and Tang Seng, his expression filled with panic, fell from above.

Sun Wukong and Fahai were currently entangled with Great Immortal Huli and could not free themselves.

Just at this moment, Marshal Tianpeng and General Juan Lian had already flown up, catching Tang Seng from the left and right.

"That truly scared the life out of me!"

Tang Seng looked left and right, then wiped the cold sweat from his head and said.

"Heh!" Marshal Tianpeng chuckled and said, "Master, you sat in meditation on that platform for so long just now; why didn't I see you afraid then?"

"Now that the platform has collapsed, you suddenly know how to be afraid?"

Tang Seng looked at him, his expression much calmer, and said, "Originally, I was single-minded, thinking only that as long as I could win this contest of magic, it would be fine. Now that the pillar has collapsed, I cannot help but feel afraid."

"So, in that case, Master, you are still afraid of death?"

Marshal Tianpeng looked at Tang Seng with a smile and said.

"..."

Facing Marshal Tianpeng's question, Tang Seng remained silent.

General Juan Lian, however, frowned and glared at Marshal Tianpeng, saying, "Second Senior Brother, is there anyone in this world who isn't afraid of death?"

"Master is also a mortal of flesh and blood; can you not tease him at a time like this?"

Marshal Tianpeng still wore a smile on his face, looking indifferent.

At this time, Tang Seng said leisurely, "It is not that I fear death; I only fear that in my lifetime, I will not be able to fulfill the Tang Emperor's mission and obtain the true scriptures from the Western Heaven, and thus be unable to save the people of the world."

Marshal Tianpeng stared at Tang Seng's profile; looking at him, it didn't seem like he was lying at all.

Perhaps, in Tang Seng's heart, there really were things more important than life.

The two of them supported Tang Seng by his arms and drifted slowly to the ground. Seeing Tang Seng land safely, the White Dragon Horse also let out a happy whinny.

After landing, Tang Seng did not pay attention to anything else, but turned to look at the sky.

At this moment, Sun Wukong and Fahai were locked in an inseparable battle with Great Immortal Huli in the sky.

Sun Wukong swung his Ruyi Jingu Bang repeatedly at Great Immortal Huli, but each strike was blocked. Great Immortal Huli, with a gloomy look in his eyes, was also searching for an opening in Sun Wukong's defense at any moment.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Crisp sounds rang out continuously in the sky, and bursts of sparks flashed. Neither the Jingu Bang nor Great Immortal Huli's precious saber could gain the upper hand for the moment.

Fahai's figure left trails of afterimages in the sky, flickering constantly around Great Immortal Huli. At times his hands were fists, at times palms; his moves were either soft and vast or incomparably fierce.

It should be said that Great Immortal Huli only had a cultivation base of over half a Daluo Jinxian, which was a level lower than both Fahai and Sun Wukong, yet he was able to hold out for so long under their combined attack.

"Fahai, what is going on with this fellow? With this level of cultivation, why can't the two of us take him down yet?"

Sun Wukong looked at Fahai, his eyes filled with doubt.

"I think he is simply trying to fight to the death, a desperate state, which is why he has become so strong."

Fahai's eyes flashed with thought as he spoke.

At this moment, inside the palace courtyard, everyone was watching the scene in the sky.

"I really didn't expect the Great National Master to be a tiger spirit. I really hope Sun Wukong and Master Fahai can defeat him."

"The grand Chechi Kingdom palace actually hid three demon monsters, and we didn't know for so long."

"Who is stronger? Why haven't they decided the winner after fighting for so long?"

"They must kill the Great National Master. How can we let a demon control the Chechi Kingdom?" ===== CHAPTER 1974 =====
