Chapter 2471: One Must Fight Once in a Lifetime

Sun Wukong and Fahai looked at each other, not understanding why Tianpeng had suddenly become so brave.

General Juan Lian was suspended in mid-air, dumbfounded for a moment. He frowned and looked at Sun Wukong, "No, why did he just go down like that?"

No one knew that Emperor Haotian had silently awakened Marshal Tianpeng with a point of starlight and, through his words, finally made him dare to face the challenge.

Sun Wukong looked at Juan Lian with a smile and said, "Brother Sha, Bajie has already gone down. Do you have the heart to let him go fight that monster alone?"

Fahai also chimed in at the right moment, "You lived at the bottom of the Flowing Sand River for many years. Your swimming ability is actually better than Marshal Tianpeng's. Even if your cultivation is not as high, you are like a fish in water underwater."

"If Marshal Tianpeng is killed by the monster underwater alone, how could you bear it?"

General Juan Lian looked at their burning gazes and finally sighed helplessly, saying, "Fine, I'll go down."

"Great Senior Brother, in the bottom layer of my luggage, I have hidden two taels of silver. If I die at the bottom of this river, remember to take it."

After speaking, General Juan Lian also turned and dove toward the river surface.

Sun Wukong watched General Juan Lian dive into the river and laughed to himself, saying, "This Brother Sha, he actually hid private money. I really didn't expect that."

Fahai looked at the vast river and said, "I wonder if they can handle it down there. Why do I feel like we have harmed them?"

Sun Wukong turned back to look at Fahai and said, "Fahai, that Nine-Headed Bird is extremely strange. Didn't we swim back up even after we were clearly defeated?"

"Don't worry, Brother Sha has always run away if he couldn't win, and that idiot has never risked his life. If they really can't fight it, they should escape back up."

Fahai listened to Sun Wukong's words, stroked his chin, and furrowed his thick brows.

At this time, in the Heavenly Court, the immortals were already watching the spiritual sense images from below and began to discuss.

"They went into the water! Tianpeng and Juan Lian have gone into the water!"

"It seems our Heavenly Court's Kalpa Tribulation is half complete!"

"I'm afraid it's too early for that. With their cultivation, defeating the Nine-Headed Bird is no easy task."

Emperor Haotian stroked his beard, sitting high on the Jade Chair, a smile appearing on his face.

Meanwhile, Tianpeng was diving down, and Juan Lian soon caught up with him.

"Second Senior Brother, was your brain kicked by a donkey? Why did you suddenly want to go into the water?"

Juan Lian looked at Tianpeng and frowned.

"Brother Sha, whether it's a god or a monster, in this life, shouldn't one always fight at least once?"

Tianpeng smiled slightly, looked back at Juan Lian, and said.

"It's one thing for you to risk your life, but you've made it so I have no choice but to go into the water."

Juan Lian said with some dissatisfaction.

"Brother Sha." Tianpeng suddenly stopped and looked steadily at Juan Lian, saying, "In this life, what do you care about the most?"

Juan Lian was stunned by the question. He thought for a long time, but didn't seem to have a good answer.

Was it escorting the Master to complete the journey to the Western Heaven? He had always been obedient to Tang Sanzang, but what about after reaching the Western Heaven? Where would he go?

He used to kill without blinking, and at the bottom of the Flowing Sand River, he didn't know how many people he had eaten. At that time, he felt that as long as he was alive and had human flesh to eat, that was good enough.

He seemed to have no desires, and had never thought about where his final destination would be once the Western Scriptures were truly obtained. ===== CHAPTER 2473 =====
