The seawater churned, and Battle Intent surged into the heavens.
Blazing flames ignited around Ao Lie's body. He had actually burned his own Dragon Yuan. With a low roar, he charged at Sun Wukong, his face filled with resolve.
Wasn't it just death? To him, this outcome was perfect.
Ao Lie had already cast life and death aside. His moves and divine abilities grew increasingly fierce, leaving streaks of blood across Sun Wukong's body. A look of surprise flickered in Sun Wukong's eyes.
What's going on? This Dragon Prince looks like he's been pumped full of stimulants. He seems determined to fight Old Sun to the death. Could it be that the dragon clan truly looks down on me and intends to shut me out?
For Senior Yellow Dragon's sake, Old Sun will give him some leeway. If he fails to appreciate my kindness, then I can only send him into a place of eternal damnation.
Sun Wukong fended off Ao Lie's attacks as he muttered inwardly.
Crimson-gold radiance surged from his eyes as his Divine Eye of Piercing Delusion activated. He wanted to find the reason behind Ao Lie's sudden change, but even after staring until his eyes became dry and sore, he found no clue whatsoever.
In only a short while, under Ao Lie's suicidal, injury-for-injury fighting style, even Sun Wukong's aura became somewhat chaotic. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Looking around, apart from the East Sea Dragon Palace, which was protected by formations, every coral reef, pavilion, and tower had been destroyed in their battle.
A bad feeling rose within him. Yet Sun Wukong could not figure out the full story. Instead, fury began to boil within him, stirring up both the resentment in his heart and the unruly defiance in his bones.
