No Martial Virtue
To Zhu Bajie's utter surprise, this scene actually made the dark figure laugh.
They dare to be so presumptuous on their own turf.
"So what if I launch a sneak attack? What can you do to me?"
"You're no better than your junior brother, just a piece of trash, yet you dare to talk back to me."
The shadowy figure's words immediately enraged Zhu Bajie.
Good heavens! He could tolerate being scolded by Sun Wukong, but now this insignificant creature dares to criticize him? How could he possibly stand for this?
"You're incredibly arrogant! You don't even respect me, Marshal Tianpeng!"
"I'm going to settle the score with you for hurting my junior brother."
Zhu Bajie's words filled the Little White Dragon lying on the ground with gratitude.
"I thought I had misunderstood Zhu Bajie before, so I should treat Zhu Bajie better from now on."
"Second Brother, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you..."
The Little White Dragon was about to say a few words of thanks to Zhu Bajie.
But Zhu Bajie interrupted him.
"How can you be so useless? Are you only powerful when you're dealing with me?"
"You shouldn't have come down to stop that monkey. If I had been there, I would have taken care of it long ago."
"Why would we waste so much time!"
Zhu Bajie then launched into another tirade against the Little White Dragon.
He has to get back what he's lost.
This made the Little White Dragon's face darken.
Well! It seems I was overthinking things. Zhu Bajie is still the same.
"You think you can subdue me? You're just delusional."
"Enough talk, take this!"
Without any hesitation, the dark figure raised its staff and charged towards Zhu Bajie.
Zhu Bajie showed no sign of backing down, raising his Nine-Toothed Rake to meet the attack.
The two began their epic battle in the murky Flowing Sand River.
The Little White Dragon was already seriously injured. Although he wanted to stand up and help Zhu Bajie, his body simply wouldn't allow it.
We can only watch from afar.
"Senior brother, you absolutely have to win! If even you lose, we won't have a chance at all."
The Little White Dragon knew the gravity of the situation and had no choice but to entrust everything to the unreliable Zhu Bajie.
After all, everyone knows that Sun Wukong has the ability to swim.
If we were to let him come, he'd probably be even worse than Zhu Bajie).
However, it must be said that Zhu Bajie is now clearly on his toes.
They used almost all their strength, and finally managed to slightly overpower the dark figure.
The dark figure was forced to retreat continuously as it was attacked.
"Hahaha, how about that? I, Old Zhu, am not weak, am I? How dare you look down on me, Old Zhu!"
"My title of commanding 80,000 naval troops in the Old Zhu Heavenly River wasn't earned for nothing!"
As soon as Zhu Bajie finished speaking, the shadowy figure opposite him was speechless.
Why does he keep repeating his achievements like a broken record, without ever stopping?
"Why are you talking so much nonsense, you dead pig?"
"Again! I refuse to believe you can defeat me in my domain."
The dark figure gritted its teeth and used the same move it had used to defeat the Little White Dragon.
He instantly merged back into the Flowing Sand River and disappeared.
"Senior brother, be careful! This is that guy's secret technique—it allows him to conceal his presence. You must be extremely cautious!"
Seeing this, the Little White Dragon quickly reminded Zhu Bajie.
If it had been a real duel, I wouldn't have lost so quickly.
I don't want Zhu Bajie to fall for my trick again.
But Zhu Bajie was clearly blinded by his recent victory.
I'm completely hooked!
"I'm telling you, you're seriously injured now, can you please shut up? You're really annoying!"
"So, who's going to fight, you or me? What secret techniques? I think it's all bullshit."
"Faced with absolute power, any secret technique is nothing but a fancy trick. Watch how I take him down."
Zhu Bajie had barely finished speaking confidently when he was proven wrong the very next second.
Suddenly, the dark figure appeared to Zhu Bajie's left rear.
Little White Dragon was about to offer a reminder, but it was clearly too late.
The staff struck directly at Zhu Bajie, and luckily Zhu Bajie reacted quickly.
He hurriedly used his Nine-Toothed Rake to block, but the attacker still managed to sneak up on him.
Zhu Bajie sent flying backwards, smashing countless boulders in the river along the way.
"Oh dear, your senior brother just warned you to be careful, this guy's strength is no joke."
"Alright, alright, you're just being wise after the event. Stop talking, I understand."
Zhu Bajie dared not underestimate his opponent any longer, and his eyes were very serious.
He gripped the Nine-Toothed Rake in his hand slightly.
"Come on, you damned bastard, let me show you what the might of Marshal Tianpeng really is!"
The next moment, Zhu Bajie used the Heaven and Earth Manifestation Technique again.
The person's body continued to grow larger in the water.
Then, he strode forward with powerful strides, charging towards the shadowy figure.
"Heh, that's just a trivial trick. No matter what secret techniques you use today, you can't save your master."
The dark figure chuckled coldly, then quickly formed hand seals once more.
Six enormous sand men appeared beside Zhu Bajie.
These sand people were the same ones he and Sun Wukong had just encountered on the water.
"Hey, aren't you lacking in martial ethics? We agreed on a one-on-one fight, why are you pulling this stunt on me?"
"You really make me despise you. If you've got the guts, let's fight three hundred rounds and see if I can take you down!"
"To actually seek help now is utterly despicable."
Zhu Bajie berating the shadowy figure.
But to put it bluntly, he chickened out!
There are six of them, and who knows if more will appear later? Even if I have all the supernatural Divine Ability, I can't handle so many!
The key point is that he can't freeze the entire space instantly in this water.
How could they possibly defeat these giant sand men?
"Alright, alright, where do you think we are? Who wants to fight you one-on-one? Get him!"
As the dark figure gave the signal to attack, the giant sand men charged directly at Zhu Bajie.
And they are already in a ready-to-attack stance.
"Let's go then!"
Zhu Bajie took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and began fighting the sandman.
But as expected, he was blasted into the water after only a few moves, falling face-first into the dirt.
"Oh my, is this the so-called Marshal Tianpeng? How did he end up in such a sorry state?"
"No, no, Little White Dragon, let's go quickly, we can't fight anymore."
"We're no match for them. If we stay any longer, we'll both be dead."
Seeing the current situation, Zhu Bajie immediately took the Little White Dragon and started his escape.
