Great Demon Sun Wukong

Both Sun Wukong and the Six-Eared Macaque were very curious about the true identity of this ghost-faced figure, but given the current situation, they no longer had time to ponder. The fire bullets shot from the palm of the fire giant behind the ghost-faced figure were truly terrifying, and even with the Tortoise Shell Holy Shield in hand, the Six-Eared Macaque still felt an immense pressure.

Seeing that the situation was bad, Sun Wukong quickly placed both palms against the Six-Eared Macaque's back, transforming his Water System Spiritual Power into Ice System power and pouring it all into the Six-Eared Macaque's body. Filled with Sun Wukong's vast Ice System Spiritual Power, the Six-Eared Macaque couldn't help but shiver.

Nevertheless, the Six-Eared Macaque didn't dare to slack and hurriedly focused the Ice System Spiritual Power into the Tortoise Shell Holy Shield he was holding.

The Tortoise Shell Holy Shield, originally a Water Attribute Spiritual Object, now, endowed with the world's purest Ice System power, suddenly emitted a deep blue light. Then, a thick layer of ice armor rapidly spread over the surface of the shield, visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, the Tortoise Shell Holy Shield became coated with an extremely thick layer of ice armor, which vaguely took on the ferocious form of the Black Tortoise Holy Beast.

The countless fire bullets, once seemingly unstoppable, now became completely harmless. No matter what type of fire, as soon as it struck the layer of ice armor, it would be immediately extinguished. Only the golden Sun Gold Fire could still cause some pressure to the Six-Eared Macaque, but compared to the previous sky full of flames, this was already much better.

At least, the Six-Eared Macaque was now able to charge at the ghost-faced figure while enduring numerous fire bullets.

The ghost-faced figure observed all of this and knew that the fire bullets could no longer stop them. Thus, he quickly moved his hand seals, on the one hand instructing the fire giant to replace all fire bullets with Sun Gold Fire, and on the other hand, he was preparing even more massive Fire System Taoist Arts.

On the Six-Eared Macaque's side, although the pressure wasn't as great as before, he was shocked to find that the Tortoise Shell Holy Shield in his hand was showing signs of melting. No, to be accurate, it was the outer layer of ice armor.

He hadn't anticipated that the Sun Gold Fire would be so terrifying. However, the Six-Eared Macaque couldn't retreat by any means, as both parties were going all out to fight for time. The ghost-faced figure was obviously a master of Taoist Arts, and those who are adept at Taoist Arts generally have a weakness in close-quarters combat.

If they could reach the ghost-faced figure before his next Taoist Art was unleashed, the Six-Eared Macaque believed that even if he was prepared, they could definitely inflict damage on him. Even if they couldn't kill him, they could at least break the current passive situation.

The ghost-faced figure also knew this, so he was desperately directing the fire giant behind him to shoot out a rain-like barrage of Sun Gold Fire.

Given the ghost-faced figure's strength, if he wanted to launch a Taoist Art powerful enough to hurt or even seriously injure them, he, no matter how formidable, would need a brief preparation time, roughly ten breaths. However, five breaths had already passed since he started the incantation. But they were still about five hundred meters away from the ghost-faced figure.

In normal circumstances, this distance of five hundred meters would have been covered in an instant, but now, facing the sky full of Sun Gold Fire, both of them couldn't help feeling an overwhelming sense of immobility.

The two had tried sprinting quickly. Given their fifty-meter stature, five hundred meters was nothing more than a few strides for them. However, as soon as they took their first steps, the Sun Gold Fire in the sky, as if possessing a mind of its own, suddenly bypassed the Tortoise Shell Holy Shield and struck them directly.

Yet, when they moved slowly, the Sun Gold Fire reverted to its original course, shooting straight ahead as if without a specific target.

The Six-Eared Macaque surmised that in order to make the Sun Gold Fire bypass the Tortoise Shell Holy Shield, the ghost-faced figure would have to control it personally. But once he was distracted by controlling the Sun Gold Fire, his Taoist Art would certainly require longer preparation time. Although they guessed this, they didn't dare to try again.

The recent shower of fire had already caused them considerable injuries, and if they really disregarded defense and rushed at the ghost-faced figure, even if they succeeded in getting close, they would likely be seriously wounded. Then the ghost-faced figure could still use his speed to keep the distance.

But if they continued like this, there was no way they could get close to the ghost-faced figure before his Taoist Art was unleashed. Seeing time pass by, two more breaths elapsed.

The Six-Eared Macaque could no longer stand it and was just about to utilize the Power of the Five Dragons swirling around him when he felt Sun Wukong pressing on his shoulder and then, with a sidestep, stepped in front of him.

"Boss, no, you can't withstand the Sun Gold Fire," cried the Six-Eared Macaque.

Sun Wukong ignored the Six-Eared Macaque's shouts and instead gripped the Jingu Bang tightly, his arms bulging with muscles. Then, rallying all his Divine Power, he swept the Jingu Bang towards the figure opposite him.

The Jingu Bang, which had already extended to over seventy meters in length and was two meters thick, suddenly grew in response to the wind, instantly elongating to six hundred meters. And at the other end of the Jingu Bang, an extremely dense Ice Attribute power was gathering.

In the blink of an eye, the Jingu Bang had already reached the side of the masked man. The masked man turned his head slightly, seemingly aware of the terrifying energy contained within the Jingu Bang, and bravely gave up the Taoist arts he had almost finished preparing. Instead, he instantly changed his hand seal and the flame giant that had been standing behind him vanished after a few feints.

The next moment, the Jingu Bang, carrying the extremely cold power of ice, smashed into the masked man's body, but the Six-Eared Macaque had no time to rejoice before a towering column of fire suddenly burst from the body of the masked man. The power of the fire column was also immensely terrifying and directly repelled the Jingu Bang coming at it from the side.

Furthermore, after exploding, the fire column did not extinguish but immediately spread, quickly becoming a massive column of fire with a hundred-meter radius.

Sun Wukong, whose attack had been unsuccessful, retrieved his Jingu Bang and stood shoulder to shoulder with the Six-Eared Macaque. The Six-Eared Macaque also retracted the Tortoise Shell Holy Shield and looked at the still spinning giant column of fire, momentarily at a loss for words.

"Big bro, this is a bit tricky, it seems that the fire column is specially for defense. And there are barriers all around us, there's no escaping."

No sooner had the Six-Eared Macaque finished speaking when a bright light burst from the spinning fire column, and suddenly, a nine-headed flame beast dashed out from within it.

Prison Cattle, Chao Feng, Pu Lao, Ya Zi, Tao Tie, Gong Gong, Bian, Suan Ni, Jiao Tu. These were indeed the Nine Dragon Sons spoken of in legends.

Although they were only illusions of flame, they were no ordinary fire spirits; each one possessed the strength of the early stages of a Saint.

The Nine Dragon Sons roared, either running or flying, and each dragon son was thirty to forty meters tall. Though they were not as tall as Sun Wukong and the Six-Eared Macaque, they held a considerable advantage in numbers.

Sun Wukong and the Six-Eared Macaque knew that, with the nine fire spirits, it was impossible to kill them. The masked man intended to use the nine fire spirits along with the towering fire column to buy time to prepare that super Taoist art. Now that they were aware of the masked man's intentions, they simply could not allow him to succeed.

"Big bro, I'll hold off these nine beasts, while you find a way to break through that fire column. We can't let that masked man finish."

With a shout, the Six-Eared Macaque swung his hand, and the Crimson Blood Roaming Dragon Staff appeared from the void. At this critical juncture, nobody dared hold back any longer.

Grasping the Crimson Blood Roaming Dragon Staff, and the five divine dragons that had been circling around his body flew out; turning around, the Six-Eared Macaque was already in fierce combat with the nine fire spirits.

However, Sun Wukong, with one hand holding the Jingu Bang, assumed a horse stance and astonishingly remained motionless.

Though Sun Wukong stood still, the Jingu Bang began to tremble non-stop, as if excited by the vast energy it was receiving.

In this manner, eight breaths passed. On one side, the battle between the Six-Eared Macaque and the nine fire spirits continued. Although the nine fire spirits only possessed the strength of the early stages of a Saint, their coordination was incredibly in sync, and they also each had their unique divine skills.

If not for the might of the five drops of True Dragon Blood suppressing them, the Six-Eared Macaque would likely have already fallen.

On the other side, after eight breaths of gathering power, Sun Wukong finally opened his eyes, and then, he swung a stick imbued with an immensely terrifying force.
