Chapter 1261: Chapter 407: Realizing Mistakes
Thinking of this, the Vermilion Bird’s mana increased even more.
She was initially thinking of showing some mercy, defeating Sun Wukong just to prove her strength.
But after hearing the White Tiger’s words, the Vermilion Bird was even more determined to teach Sun Wukong a lesson.
This guy is the reason why the White Tiger doesn’t even believe in me anymore.
Facing the sea of fire intertwined ahead, Sun Wukong did not slack off.
The opponent is a Supreme after all, with formidable strength.
He did not use the Jingu Bang, but instead broke through with his body, entering the sea of fire.
The next moment, Sun Wukong’s hands glowed, with boundless magical power surging.
Swoosh.
The sea of fire, like a curtain, was torn apart as Sun Wukong leaped out from it.
His eyes gleamed coldly, directly charging towards the Vermilion Bird.
The Vermilion Bird was taken aback, not expecting Sun Wukong to be so fierce.
Her attack was actually directly torn apart by him.
The spear in her hand thrust out like a cold star, with enormous mana gathering on it, aiming straight for Sun Wukong’s chest.
The Vermilion Bird didn’t attack Sun Wukong’s vital spots, knowing he has the Undying Body, and if only his chest was injured, it wouldn’t affect him much.
After all, her aim was not to kill Sun Wukong, but to defeat him and vent her inner anger.
Sun Wukong neither dodged nor avoided, instead reaching out with one hand.
In disbelief, the Vermilion Bird watched as he grabbed the crimson spear, allowing the Vermilion Bird’s mana and Vermilion Bird True Fire to spread, yet unable to harm his hand.
The Vermilion Bird’s expression changed, how could the opponent be this strong?
The next moment, Sun Wukong exerted strength, lightly commanding, "Release."
A massive force surged from the crimson spear, causing the spear in the Vermilion Bird’s hand to slip away instantly.
Sun Wukong casually tossed the crimson spear aside, his gaze fixed intently on the Vermilion Bird, the meaning clear.
Even her weapon had been seized; Sun Wukong felt the Vermilion Bird should admit defeat.
Unfortunately, he didn’t understand women.
The Vermilion Bird had no intention of admitting defeat; instead, she felt humiliated and angry.
Her own carelessness allowed Sun Wukong to seize her weapon.
The opponent was too excessive, giving her no face and leaving her utterly embarrassed.
Thinking of this, the Vermilion Bird’s eyes glinted with cold light; she transformed into her true form, spanning thousands of miles, covering the sky, and charged towards Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong frowned, a bit displeased.
He felt the Vermilion Bird was going too far; he had already shown mercy, yet she continued relentlessly.
Had he not shown mercy, Sun Wukong could have severely injured her when he seized her weapon earlier.
Seeing the Vermilion Bird attack, Sun Wukong snorted coldly.
He did not reveal his true form, simply standing there calmly, before reaching out with one hand.
The Vermilion Bird, spanning thousands of miles, was colossal compared to the human-sized Sun Wukong, akin to the difference between a human and an ant.
But at this moment, that "ant" reached out, as if grasping a human’s throat.
The scene between Sun Wukong and the Vermilion Bird was exactly like this.
As he reached out, the Vermilion Bird seemed utterly suppressed by a massive force; her struggles were futile as she shrank rapidly until she took on human form.
Before the Vermilion Bird could react, Sun Wukong kicked her in the face.
The Vermilion Bird, kicked in the face by Sun Wukong, wasn’t physically harmed.
However, her pride thoroughly collapsed from this kick.
The Azure Dragon and others were also stunned, looking at the scene before them, not knowing what to do.
No one expected that after defeating the Vermilion Bird, Sun Wukong would act in such a manner.
Moreover, Sun Wukong’s strength was astonishingly powerful.
Xuanwu couldn’t help but ask, "Boss, the Great Saint’s strength is nearing yours, isn’t it?"
The Azure Dragon thought for a moment, then nodded.
"The Great Saint in the Sub-Paramount is already at the peak. If he advances further, he can become Supreme; his strength is now extremely close to mine."
No wonder.
Xuanwu sympathetically glanced at the Vermilion Bird, thinking that if she had known Sun Wukong’s strength from the start, she probably wouldn’t have had the notion to challenge him.
Unfortunately, it’s too late to say anything now.
The Vermilion Bird, after being kicked in the face, nearly went mad. Although she was subdued by Sun Wukong, she still charged at him like a madwoman.
"Stupid monkey, I must kill you."
"If you dare, let me go and battle me for three hundred rounds."
"I want to eat you, you smelly monkey."
...
At this moment, a flash of light appeared in Sun Wukong’s hand, and the Jingu Bang appeared in his hand.
The next moment, he struck the Vermilion Bird’s body with the stick.
Swoosh.
The Vermilion Bird was struck and sent flying, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
However, Sun Wukong ignored her and swung the Jingu Bang again.
Again, the stick landed on the Vermilion Bird, sending her flying once more.
Upon seeing this, Xuanwu and the White Tiger’s expressions changed, feeling that Sun Wukong intended to kill the Vermilion Bird.
His attacks were ruthless, with no intention of giving the Vermilion Bird a chance to survive.
They wanted to intervene but were stopped by the Azure Dragon.
In their anxious eyes, the Azure Dragon said, "Doing something wrong must come with consequences. I used to pamper you too much; it’s time for you to understand some truths."
"The Vermilion Bird is almost dead."
Xuanwu said anxiously.
He felt that even if they were to be taught a lesson, at the very least, they should remain alive.
With the current situation, even if they learned something, what good would it be if they were no longer around?
However, the Azure Dragon remained silent, leaving the White Tiger and Xuanwu anxious yet unable to act.
Ten consecutive strikes left the Vermilion Bird covered in blood, her skin split open.
She truly felt the presence of death, which instilled a sense of fear in her heart that amplified infinitely.
It was only then that she realized she was not as fearless as she once thought.
Simultaneously, she reflected on the conflict she had with Sun Wukong.
From beginning to end, Sun Wukong was not to blame; it was she who failed to distinguish right from wrong, treating Sun Wukong arrogantly, leading to the current outcome.
The one truly at fault was her, the Vermilion Bird.
But now, understanding this came too late.
Even with the desire to apologize, Sun Wukong wouldn’t give her the chance.
At that moment, the Vermilion Bird realized that her pride and rebelliousness were insignificant in the face of true death.
If given another chance, she would definitely apologize to Sun Wukong and no longer provoke him.
Just then, the scene before everyone’s eyes changed drastically.
At this moment, the Vermilion Bird no longer appeared battered and bruised.
She stood not far from Sun Wukong, bewilderedly opening her eyes, without any injuries at all.
Xuanwu rubbed his eyes, feeling disoriented, wondering if he had been seeing things.
The Vermilion Bird was unharmed, without any injuries.
What was that scene just now? Was it a daydream?
The White Tiger couldn’t help but murmur, not knowing what had transpired.
Only the Azure Dragon had a smile on his face, looking at Sun Wukong with a gaze full of admiration.
