Chapter 525: Chapter 519: Black Dragon Heaven Battles Manjushri Bodhisattva
"Zheng!"
"Zheng, zheng!"
The continuous sound of sword clashing rang out as Manjushri Bodhisattva swung the Flame Treasure Sword in his hand. As the flames howled, the advancing energy beasts were cleaved to pieces by his sword.
The sweeping flame sword energy shattered the energy-composed beasts like Gold Dragon, Fire Tiger, and Wood Horned Jiao into pieces, exploding inch by inch.
Manjushri Bodhisattva was at the late Tier Two stage, and possessing both the Flame Treasure Sword and the Qinglian Flower, an offensive and defensive artifact, meant that the star array formed by the Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings couldn’t easily capture him in a short time.
However, the Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings were smart as well. Forming the star array, they were in no rush to launch a fierce attack, but instead used energy attacks to continuously deplete Manjushri Bodhisattva.
Within the star array, the Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings could quickly recover their internal energy and attack in turns.
Nonetheless, the same could not be said for Manjushri Bodhisattva, who was constantly under attack and bearing the burden of Manjushri Bodhisattva.
If the depletion continued, Manjushri Bodhisattva would soon be unable to hold on.
With Manjushri Bodhisattva on his back, Manjushri Bodhisattva defended against the onslaught of the star array while searching for an escape route.
His brow furrowed, and the unease in his heart intensified.
This star array composed by the Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings was no ordinary array!
It could be said to be flawless; Manjushri Bodhisattva couldn’t discern any weaknesses.
Most importantly, within this array, Manjushri Bodhisattva seemed to see traces of the World Honored.
Manjushri Bodhisattva had the illusion, suspecting that this array was created by the World Honored.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"If it were an array created by the World Honored, how could it be used against us?"
"Besides, there is no record of this array in the sect’s scriptures." Manjushri Bodhisattva persuaded himself, discarding these unrealistic thoughts.
"Put me down!"
"With me, we can’t escape."
"Go yourself, one day you can avenge me!" Manjushri Bodhisattva shouted from Manjushri Bodhisattva’s back.
Manjushri Bodhisattva had lost his mana and was bound by Manjushri Bodhisattva. Unable to break free, he could only try to convince him with words.
"Enough, I will never leave you behind!"
"Believe me, we can escape!"
"If we truly cannot escape, then we die together here, and in the next life, we’ll still be brothers!" Manjushri Bodhisattva asserted with unyielding certainty.
Manjushri Bodhisattva was a reckless man, adhering to the belief that if he couldn’t live well, neither should others.
Therefore, Manjushri Bodhisattva pointed at Black Dragon Heaven and said, "If we can’t escape, then let’s fight him."
"Forget the star array, just target him and beat him up. Drag that bastard down with us."
When being attacked by a group, what should you do?
If you throw a punch at each person, no one gets hurt.
The correct answer is to ignore the others and focus your assault on one person.
Upon hearing Manjushri Bodhisattva’s words, Manjushri Bodhisattva was struck with an epiphany.
Indeed!
Capture the leader first, instead of merely fleeing, aim to take down Black Dragon Heaven first.
Once Black Dragon Heaven is captured, using him as leverage would surely make them cautious.
Though Manjushri Bodhisattva was reckless, in this situation, his approach was rather effective.
Carrying Manjushri Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva lightly tapped the ground and flew towards Black Dragon Heaven.
Seeing this, Black Dragon Heaven frowned, thinking, damn, he’s coming for me.
Despite being at the late Tier Two stage, higher than Black Dragon Heaven’s realm, Manjushri Bodhisattva was now attacking with resentment.
Sensing danger, Black Dragon Heaven grasped his hand and a pitch-black halberd appeared in his hand.
Following this, Black Dragon Heaven swung the halberd, and a pitch-black energy dragon lunged towards Manjushri Bodhisattva.
Swinging the Flame Treasure Sword, Manjushri Bodhisattva generated a giant flaming bird from the flame.
This flaming bird was Garuda.
Garuda fed on dragons, said to consume at least nine dragons daily.
Descending fiercely, the flaming Garuda clasped its claws onto the pitch-black energy dragon, the flaming talons seemingly capable of restraining the dragon’s strength.
Soon, the energy dragon summoned by Black Dragon Heaven was torn into pieces by Garuda.
Black Dragon Heaven: "?????"
Witnessing this scene, Black Dragon Heaven muttered under his breath, "Damn it, attacking first really makes you vulnerable."
This was the same in duel.
In duels, the one who strikes first often finds themselves at a disadvantage.
Having vanquished the energy dragon, the flame Garuda continued its assault on Black Dragon Heaven.
Black Dragon Heaven mused, So, it’s birds?
Playing with birds, huh?
Alright, I’ll bring out the most formidable bird.
Injecting the energy frantically into the pitch-black halberd, Black Dragon Heaven slashed out, revealing an enormous, vibrantly colored Peacock in the Void.
A five-colored Peacock?
Indeed, Black Dragon Heaven conjured the form of the Peacock Great Ming King using energy.
In this mysterious world, among bird-kind, none might top the Peacock Great Ming King in strength.
Manjushri Bodhisattva: "????"
Manjushri Bodhisattva gazed blankly; Black Dragon Heaven’s move touched on areas beyond his understanding.
Not only did Black Dragon Heaven form the Peacock Great Ming King’s body, but it was vivid and lifelike.
Logically, achieving this required profound understanding of the Peacock Great Ming King!
"Could it be? Has he met the Peacock Great Ming King and knows him well?" A thought suddenly struck Manjushri Bodhisattva’s mind.
Nevertheless, there was no time for further contemplation now.
For the energy form of the Peacock Great Ming King had already engaged Manjushri Bodhisattva’s flame Garuda.
As expected, the flame Garuda soon fell into a disadvantage, dissolving into energy.
The energy embodiment of the Peacock Great Ming King struck Manjushri Bodhisattva, triggering a powerful explosion.
Thankfully, Manjushri Bodhisattva wielded the Qinglian Flower for defense. As the Peacock Great Ming King’s energy form collided with him, the Qinglian Flower emitted bursts of golden light, forming a golden tower which shielded Manjushri Bodhisattva within.
However, defending against this strike placed an evident strain on the Qinglian Flower.
The once vibrant Qinglian Flower appeared slightly withered after blocking the blow.
After this initial exchange, Manjushri Bodhisattva gauged Black Dragon Heaven’s skill.
Despite being at Tier Three Peak, Black Dragon Heaven was remarkably stronger than most Tier Three Peak individuals.
Possessing strength akin to early Tier Two.
Moments ago, Manjushri Bodhisattva was merely testing him, but now he was ready to launch a desperate assault on Black Dragon Heaven.
Capturing Black Dragon Heaven was their only chance for survival.
