575: I can't act anymore

“How did he come here…” Nezha muttered.

The one who arrived was none other than the Lord of the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, the Heavenly Emperor Zhang Bainian.

“He’s not staying in Lingxiao Palace but ran to South Heaven Gate. He must have learned of The Four Heavenly Kings’ predicament.”

“Now, even if Yang Jian doesn’t want to act, he’ll have to.”

“Let’s see how he performs…”

Nezha thought to himself, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

He gazed at Qin Yang in the Lower Realm, then muttered to himself a moment later, “If it were me, I simply wouldn’t perform.”

Elf World.

The battle had become one-sided.

After Qin Yang injured Jiang Ziya with Dawn Authority, he immediately swung the Axe of Creation and cut off Mo Liqing’s head.

Mo Lishou, having lost his Dragon Spirit Beast, was also completely without combat ability. He was entangled and bound by the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, his throat firmly gripped in the Dragon’s mouth, unable to break free.

At this moment, two of The Four Heavenly Kings had fallen, and one was incapacitated. Only Mo Lihai, holding the Jade Pipa, was still stubbornly resisting.

He was seen cradling the Pipa, constantly strumming its strings, sending out waves of fierce and rapid music.

The wind, thunder, and fire power he summoned continuously erupted on Qin Yang’s body, causing his Human Emperor Avatar to be completely obscured by smoke and dust.

“The power of a Divine Artifact is not to be underestimated!”

Qin Yang was somewhat stunned by the fierce wind, thunder, and fire.

Logically, his elemental resistance was almost maxed out, so he shouldn't have taken attribute damage.

However, the Jade Pipa was manipulating the Five Elements Power, which was completely different from what was called an element.

If Qin Yang hadn't been protected by the Human Emperor Avatar, he would have likely been defeated by now.

What annoyed Qin Yang the most was that the melodies played by Mo Lihai were simply unbearable!

No matter what, Qin Yang had received musical education.

Under the personal tutelage of Yang Yuhuan and three of The Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, his musical attainments were already top-tier in the Mortal world.

Hearing Mo Lihai’s rhythm-less and unmelodious playing at this moment, he felt as if filth had entered his ears, causing nausea and disgust.

He couldn't help but say angrily, “A chaotic strumming! It’s simply a waste of such a good Pipa! Let me teach you what truly magnificent immortal music is!”

With that, he held the Fuxi Zither in front of him, and his four giant hands simultaneously began to play the strings.

Immediately, layers of sound waves rippled across the world.

Listening to the Zither music, one felt it encompassed the chirping of birds, the waves of the sea, the flowing rivers and mountains, and the roars of beasts, clearly containing a panorama of the heavens and earth, and all creation.

Within it, the Five Elements Power circulated, generating and overcoming each other, constantly changing, like the evolution of the Dao.

Mo Lihai’s Zither music collapsed layer by layer under this Dao of sound, eventually backfiring on him, sending him flying backward with a crash.

The Jade Pipa in his hand was also shaken loose and flew into the sky.

The next second, Qin Yang commanded the Human Emperor Avatar, which soared into the sky like a Demon God. He grabbed the Jade Pipa with one hand, then gripped the slender section of the Pipa with both hands, swinging it like a heavy hammer, and smashed it fiercely into Mo Lihai’s face.

Bang!

The Pipa strings vibrated.

Mo Lihai’s face was deeply caved in from the impact, and his massive body crashed to the ground, shaking the mountains and earth.

Qin Yang pursued him closely, swinging the Axe of Creation in a full circle, severing Mo Lihai’s neck with one blow.

Immediately after, he swung the Jade Pipa in his hand horizontally downwards, and with a bang, he smashed Mo Lihai’s head away like an iron ball.

Witnessing this cruel scene, the remaining sole descendant of The Four Demonic Generals, Mo Lishou, was so terrified that his Divine Soul scattered. Disregarding that his body was still entangled by the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, he leaped up and flew into the air, seemingly wanting to escape back to the Heavenly Court.

But he forgot that with the Jianmu Tree not yet opened, there was no passage between heaven and earth.

And Qin Yang, with bloodlust in his eyes, would certainly not let him escape.

Qin Yang looked up, staring at Mo Lishou, who was fleeing through the air. The Asura Path double pupils in his eyes lit up, and he shouted, “Asura Training Ground!”

As soon as his voice fell, Mo Lishou vanished from the sky, forcibly pulled into the Asura Domain.

Qin Yang put away the Jade Pipa and sternly shouted, “Beat him to death with a staff!”

“Yes, sir!”

…The scene shifted. One moment, Mo Lishou’s eyes saw a gloomy sky with rolling dark clouds, the next, he saw a mesmerizing purple.

As far as his eyes could see, there were only ruined walls, as if he were in a gigantic arena.

And on the distant horizon, four Demon Gods, similar in stature to himself but with ugly faces, slowly rose. They were Moya and the other four Asura Lords!

“No!”

Mo Lishou let out a long howl to the sky.

Having lost his Dragon Spirit Beast, he was completely without combat ability.

Seeing the four Demon Gods approaching him, he could only helplessly shout towards the sky, “Grand Duke Jiang, save me!”

But how could Grand Duke Jiang hear his voice?

At this moment, in front of South Heaven Gate.

Jiang Ziya and Li Jing both knelt on one knee, facing the brilliant, glowing phantom, while only Nezha stood with his arms crossed, as if disobedient.

The being within the Sunset paid no attention to Nezha, only saying to Jiang Ziya, “The Four Heavenly Kings have been defeated, and the Jianmu Tree is in danger of being destroyed. Why have things come to such a pass?”

Jiang Ziya cupped his hands and said, “Heavenly Emperor, please forgive me. Your subject misjudged the strength of the Evil Emperor Qin Yang. He possesses the ten divine weapons and is protected by the Luck of successive Human Emperors. He has long since transcended the realm of Mortals. The Four Demonic Generals are indeed no match for him.”

After speaking, Jiang Ziya pointed to the Eight Trigrams well beside them and said, “Yang Jian is dissatisfied with the Heavenly Court and has indulged the Evil Emperor’s recklessness. The death of The Four Heavenly Kings is inextricably linked to him…”

“More words are useless.”

The being in the Sunset slightly raised a hand, interrupting Jiang Ziya, and said to Li Jing, “Order all Heavenly Court generals to gather at South Heaven Gate and jointly open a temporary Heavenly Gate. This way, Erlang Shen can exert his full strength. At the same time, it will allow the Third Prince to descend to the Lower Realm and assist in suppressing and killing the Evil Emperor.”

“Understood!”

Li Jing bowed with cupped hands, then stood up and closed his eyes, shouting, “Eight Divisions of Heavenly Soldiers, Four Constellations, heed my command! Come quickly to South Heaven Gate!”

After a moment of silence, clouds surged from all directions, and someone responded from a thousand miles away, “Understood!”

Seeing this formation, Nezha took a deep breath and thought, “This is bad. With this temporary Heavenly Gate open, not only can Yang Jian not perform, but neither can I!”
