47: Got intercepted

“What exactly is this thing?” The Bull Demon King couldn’t help but ask, “Can a ship really help us deal with those enemies?”

Nezha had already recovered his senses at this moment. He couldn’t help but curl his lips, looking at the old bull and saying, “This is a mode of transportation, not an Immortal Artifact or Magic Treasure… Hmm, however, according to the information left by the Heavenly Venerate, only when we gather all the parts of this thing will we know its purpose!”

“Let’s go, we’ll continue to the next Dragon Palace… Hmm, there’s a passage down here that should lead straight to the East Sea…”

Yang Jian said, “You two follow me…”

“Heh heh, True Monarch Big Brother didn’t interact with the Seventh Princess of the East Sea Dragon Palace any less back then, did he? Otherwise, how would you know about such a secret matter?” Nezha put away the ship, then poked Yang Jian’s ribs with his elbow.

Yang Jian’s face flushed, “Don’t talk nonsense. She already has a marriage contract. She and I are just ordinary friends!”

Nezha laughed heartily, “Where does pure friendship come from between men and women? Your relationship must not be that simple!”

Yang Jian immediately gave a helpless bitter smile, “I shouldn’t have let you interact with the Holy Monk so much. You’ve gone bad!”

“Although the Holy Monk’s words are strange, they sound very reasonable!” The old bull stroked his nose and said, “The Jade-Faced Fox and I were also pure friends at first, and then it developed into… that. True Monarch, yours… definitely cannot be called pure!”

“Alright, alright, you two are singing in harmony to tease me…” Yang Jian finally rolled his eyes and said, “You two should just fight to the death, lest you humiliate me here!”

The old bull and Nezha exchanged a smile, suddenly feeling a sense of reconciliation.

The Bull Demon King suddenly tugged at a tuft of red hair on the Bisui Jinjing Beast’s head, then gave it two twists. The monster’s body suddenly shook, and its body actually expanded until its back was large enough to seat five or six people before stopping.

“Save some energy, ride on it!”

The old bull patted the Bisui Jinjing Beast’s back and said with a smile, “I guarantee it’s more stable and comfortable than any Magic Treasure!”

Nezha and Yang Jian flipped onto the beast’s back. It was indeed spacious and comfortable. And when the Bisui Jinjing Beast entered the water, a bubble-like space formed on its outer surface. Although it couldn’t be seen from the outside, it was clearly felt from the inside that the air was not only ample but also extremely dry and comfortable.

“A treasure of the aquatic race! Old bull, where did you get this treasure?” Nezha couldn’t help but exclaim, touching the Bisui Jinjing Beast’s back all over.

“It’s an ancestral heirloom. My old man used to keep it at home back then. I don’t know its origin!”

The Bull Demon King laughed, “Not only for comfort, but if this guy’s speed reaches its limit, no aquatic creature in the water can compare, not even True Dragons like the Four Seas Dragon Kings. And among the aquatic race, the only one who can compare to its speed is the Nine-Headed Bug, the son-in-law of the old Dragon King of Bibo Pool!”

Yang Jian’s brows immediately furrowed, “That Nine-Headed Bug was a scourge before. After the Howling Celestial Dog bit off one of his heads, he disappeared without a trace. I suspect that if the enemy wants to target the aquatic race, they might control this guy to cause us trouble…”

Swish!

The rapidly moving Bisui Jinjing Beast suddenly slammed on its brakes, almost throwing the three of them off its back.

The Bull Demon King couldn’t help but curse, “You beast, why didn’t you say anything… Hmm?”

The Bisui Jinjing Beast restlessly clawed at the bottom of the water, not daring to take another step forward for a long time.

The old bull’s gaze swept forward, only to see a massive aquatic army already surrounding the entire Dragon Palace. At this moment, a handsome young man walked out from the entrance of the Dragon Palace.

Yang Jian followed his gaze and couldn’t help but have an urge to slap himself!

“Darn it, Nine-Headed Bug…”

Yang Jian’s mouth twitched, “I was never a jinx before! Hmm, Brother Nezha, look at what that guy has in his hand. Is that what we’re looking for?”

Nezha’s eyes had already become as dull as before. After a long while, he finally recovered his senses and immediately saw that the Nine-Headed Bug was holding a rhomboid crystal in his hand.

“Darn it, that guy actually got a head start… You damned monster, take my spear first…”

Whoosh!

The Wind Fire Wheels stirred up a large splash of water, actually leaving a trail of afterimages as they carried Nezha straight towards the Nine-Headed Bug. The Fire Tipped Spear in his hand unpredictably released Samadhi True Fire, burning brightly at the bottom of the sea.

The Nine-Headed Bug was startled by Nezha’s momentum. He fixed his gaze and saw a three-headed, eight-armed giant charging over, whose mere anger could knock him over.

Bang bang…

A long spear also appeared in his hand. The Nine-Headed Bug parried in a hurry, and Nezha’s spear thrust made him stumble, almost losing his footing.

“Roar!”

The handsome young man’s face suddenly became hideous and terrifying, and his body rapidly expanded. Nine heads suddenly extended, nine of them resembling Dragon heads. These nine heads were like the Nine Infants of old, each head possessing different powers: some spewed fire, some spewed ice, some had immense strength, some had extremely strong recovery abilities, and there were also those that could release poison, corrosive gas, were skilled in illusions, and specialized in extracting souls…

However, even with all nine heads working together against Nezha, they still couldn’t harm him in the slightest.

“How is this possible? I received a blessing from my master and finally regrew my destroyed head. After my strength greatly increased, I still can’t defeat a mere general? Wait… Is this Nezha?”

Boom!

While he was wondering, a golden brick slammed hard on his central nose, and two streams of nosebleed suddenly gushed out.

His nine heads were connected, and when one was injured, the others all felt the same, instantly weeping and looking quite disheveled.

The Nine-Headed Bug finally realized he had met his match. He had never imagined that Nezha would be so fierce. He had not been afraid when dealing with Sun Wukong and Yang Jian before, but now an unspeakable fear rose in his heart.

Because his treasure hunt had been intercepted by someone else, Nezha was furious and completely reckless, intent only on killing this guy and snatching the item. So his attacks were like a mad tiger, making it difficult for the Nine-Headed Bug to parry for a while.

Suddenly, one of the Nine-Headed Bug’s heads seemed to see two even more terrifying figures charging from Nezha’s sides. His heart couldn’t help but skip a beat. The one holding the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade, who else could it be but Yang Jian?

As for the other, holding a mixed iron rod, riding a Bisui Jinjing Beast, plus those distinctive bull horns…

Alright, this one Nezha was already tough enough, and now with two more powerhouses of the same level… He couldn’t afford to provoke them, couldn’t afford to provoke them!

“…You guys stop them for me…”

Swish!

The Nine-Headed Bug, being a pragmatist, chose to avoid immediate loss. In a flash, he transformed back into the handsome young man’s appearance, then his figure flickered into a golden rainbow light, swiftly escaping the battlefield.
