He was miserably beaten, his face bruised and swollen, as he dragged his leg out.
Tathagata's eyes blazed with rage, and he growled, "You and your disciple are both bastards. If you two have a conflict, why take it out on me?"
He was nearly driven mad, as they dragged him into an unknown space and then mercilessly beat him.
If not for sensing that they had no intent to kill, Tathagata would have fought back desperately.
But Jade Emperor was also afraid of alarming others, and Sun Wukong was worried that alarming others would lead Jade Emperor and Tathagata to join forces to kill him.
So, although they fought, they only used their physical power and did not unleash their mana.
And Tathagata ended up becoming their punching bag, beaten into his current pitiful state.
However, he finally managed to leave two black eyes on their faces, which somewhat made up for his emotional trauma.
Tathagata circulated his mana to heal his injuries.
