Chapter 1976: Tempered muscles and bones, reinforced by Daoist magic

On the ground, Tang Seng and the others had been observing the battle in the sky, their expressions extremely tense.

Originally, because they had dealt with Great Immortal Luli and Great Immortal Yangli so easily, they thought Great Immortal Huli wouldn't be that powerful either.

However, what they hadn't expected was that Great Immortal Huli was compensating for the gap in cultivation levels purely through his tempered muscles and bones.

"Second Senior Brother, should we go up and help the Great Senior Brother and Master Fahai?"

General Juan Lian looked at Marshal Tianpeng and suddenly asked.

"Junior Brother Sha, you'd better forget it. Look at the Great Senior Brother and Master Fahai; they haven't taken him down after all this time. If we go up, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand a single move from him."

Marshal Tianpeng was still relatively rational as he spoke.

Seeing the giant tiger constantly tearing apart the monkey children he had transformed, Sun Wukong felt angry. He raised his staff and flew up to charge.

"I don't believe in your evil today! Let's see how much ability you have!"

Sun Wukong fell from high in the sky, gripped his Ruyi Jingu Bang tightly with both hands, and carved a huge arc in the air, slashing straight toward the giant tiger's back.

The giant tiger looked up, narrowed its eyes, and without waiting for Sun Wukong's staff to fall, immediately lunged forward like an arrow.

Sun Wukong's staff missed, and before he could react, the giant tiger twisted its waist, opened its bloody maw, and bit toward Sun Wukong's back.

Seeing this, Fahai flew rapidly, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air, and kicked upward in mid-air, sweeping directly toward the giant tiger's abdomen.

"Boom!"

With a loud sound of flesh colliding, a scorching golden light flashed on Fahai's right foot.

The giant tiger, caught off guard, was kicked backward and tumbled away. It took a long time for it to climb up from mid-air, blood dripping from the corner of its mouth.

At this moment, the giant tiger paced on the clouds, its eyes filled with killing intent as it scrutinized Fahai and Sun Wukong.

"Hmph!" Fahai sneered, raising his head, and said, "You are at the end of your rope; what are you still holding on for?"

The giant tiger's eyes flashed with anger as it said, "Today, with my 'Form and Spirit as One' technique, I have become an unstoppable fierce tiger. You two will surely pay with the lives of my two junior brothers!"

Hearing this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but laugh and said, "That is truly ridiculous."

"If your two junior brothers' lives need to be repaid by us, then who will repay the lives of the countless monks who died at your hands?"

The giant tiger smiled coldly and said, "Do the lives of monks count as lives?"

"They are all just low-class heretics; these people deserve to die."

These words completely enraged Fahai. After all, he was a monk in the truest sense. He said loudly, "I believe you will find out who the low-class ones are soon enough."

"You are a demon; do you think that just because you put on a Daoist robe, you are a Daoist?"

Sun Wukong also sneered and said, "That's right. The Daoists I have met are not like you, recklessly creating killing karma and refusing to repent!"

"Even though you have cultivated a thousand Daoist spells, you have never once listened to the true words of the Dao, so you cannot be considered a Daoist at all."

The giant tiger froze for a moment, then his eye corners twitched, seemingly very agitated. He roared, "I am a Daoist! I am the orthodoxy of the Three Pure Ones!"

Fahai looked at Wukong and said, "Stop wasting words with him, Wukong. His muscles and bones are reinforced by Daoist magic. I will release my Purple Gold Bowl to set up a restriction and wear down his cultivation; you just need to take his life."

Hearing Fahai say this, Sun Wukong nodded immediately. ===== CHAPTER 1978 =====
