With a flicker of the Asura Sword, wisps of blood aura began to emerge from the longsword, twining upwards and striking directly towards the Ruyi Silver-Hooped Rod with a slash.
"Clang!"
The Ruyi Silver-Hooped Rod and the Asura Sword collided, emitting a crisp clanging sound like metal striking metal. The next moment, Sun Wukong and Sovereign Mara Papiyas each pulled back, standing two zhang apart, and a hint of surprise flashed in both of their eyes simultaneously.
"This Asura Demon King is so powerful!"
Although they had only exchanged one blow, Sun Wukong vividly felt the formidableness of Sovereign Mara Papiyas. That strike seemed to end in a draw with neither gaining an advantage, but in reality, in terms of pure strength, he was still inferior to Sovereign Mara Papiyas.
