334: Chapter 333 Battle of Generals Before the Battlefield? Nezha vs. Li Jing

The Central Yellow Horn Immortal of The Five Elders of the Five Directions knit his brows, a trace of shock flashing through his old eyes that had seen through the vicissitudes of the world.

He had lived for countless ages and seen geniuses as numerous as carps in a river, but he had never seen such a bizarre scene.

"Eight hundred... Grand Unity Golden Immortals?! And their auras are so stable, as if they were carved from the same mold! How is this possible? How can the current rules of the Heavenly Dao allow for the mass production of experts at this level?"

"This kid's Luck... it's not right. That is the Dao of Plunder, the Heaven-Defying Dao! If this boy is not eliminated, he will certainly become a major threat!"

In the sky, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King (wearing newly bought pants and armor, looking much more respectable than last time) hid behind the nine great powerhouses, poking his head out and shouting with fox-like bravado:

"Celestial Masters, Five Elders! There's no need to waste words with him! This boy has already entered the Demonic Path and is beyond redemption! Please take action quickly and suppress him! Extract his Divine Soul to light a sky lantern!"

"Wuliang Tianzun."

The Four Great Celestial Masters looked at each other, simultaneously forming hand seals while chanting under their breath.

"The heavenly net is vast, the earthly gates intersect! Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, hear my command! Fall!"

Boom!

The already oppressive sky instantly turned into a pool of lightning. Purple, gold, and black divine thunder poured down like a waterfall, aimed directly at the City of Sin below.

This was no ordinary lightning; this was the 'Nine Heavens Capital Heaven Divine Thunder.' Every bolt could strike a Golden Immortal dead or even severely wound a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

This was practically carpet bombing!

"Paltry tricks."

Lin Feng sneered, not even bothering to defend himself.

"Members of the Tiance Divine Court! Activate the Formation!"

Buzz!

From the eight directions of the City of Sin, those eight hundred Grand Unity Golden Immortals simultaneously erupted with magic power, injecting it into the Formation Plates beneath their feet.

A massive transparent light shield rose—the 'Ten Thousand Immortals God-Slaying Formation' (Lin Feng's magically modified and enhanced version).

This Formation didn't have any flashy counterattack functions; it was characterized by one thing—toughness! It was so tough it had no friends!

All the divine thunder struck the Formation's light screen like raindrops hitting tempered glass. Aside from a few ripples, not even a single crack appeared.

"What?!"

The expressions of the Four Great Celestial Masters changed. The forbidden technique they performed together couldn't even break through the opponent's defense?

"I told you."

Lin Feng stood beneath the light screen, calm and composed, raising his middle finger toward the sky. "Times have changed, elders. Your ways are outdated. My Formation has a lightning-proof coating."

"Now, it's our turn to counterattack."

"Nezha! Go! Smash that newly bought pagoda of your father's again! Let him know that even with new gear, he's still a noob!"

"Alright, Boss! I've been waiting for those words! My hands have been itching for a while!"

A streak of fire soared into the sky, heading straight for Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.

...

When two armies face off, there is usually an unwritten rule: first, the generals duel to dampen the enemy's morale.

Although Lin Feng never cared for martial ethics and preferred gang fights, Nezha was a man of principle, and this was his personal grudge that had to be settled.

Stepping on his Wind Fire Wheels, holding his Fire-Tipped Spear, with the Universe Ring around his neck and the Sky-Muddling Ribbon wrapped around him, his divine gear shimmered with radiant light, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.

He hovered before the two armies, his spear tip pointing directly at Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King hiding behind the crowd, two flames burning in his eyes.

"Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King! Come out!"

Nezha's voice was crisp yet filled with endless fury, echoing between heaven and earth. "Don't hide behind those old men! Aren't you the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King? Aren't you the Demon-Suppressing Great Marshal? Haven't you always prided yourself on being loyal to the sovereign and the country, sacrificing family for the sake of justice?"

"Come! Let the two of us, father and son, settle the score today! Let's clear these thousands of years of old debts once and for all!"

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King's face turned ashen, looking extremely unsightly.

Challenged by his own son by name in front of millions of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals and the nine great powerhouses—if he didn't dare to accept the challenge, how could he lead troops in the future? What would happen to his prestige? Where would he put his old face?

"Rebellious son! You are simply a rebellious son!"

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King trembled with rage. He pushed aside the Heavenly Soldiers blocking his way and flew out, holding that exquisite pagoda which he had barely managed to have repaired by the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord on credit, even adding an extra layer of reinforcement.

"Nezha! You betrayed the Heavenly Court and defected to the demons, and now you dare to be so disrespectful to your father? This is simply outrageous!"

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King shouted righteously, trying to stand on the moral high ground. "Today, your father shall act on behalf of Heaven to clean house! I will teach you the meaning of hierarchy and respect for elders!"

"Clean house? Hierarchy and respect?"

Nezha laughed, a somewhat desolate laugh, though there were tears in the corners of his eyes. "Three thousand years ago at Chentang Pass, you forced me to carve my bones for my father and my flesh for my mother. At that moment, I no longer owed you anything! At that moment, the child named Nezha already died!"

"Later, I was resurrected with a Lotus Incarnation, but you feared my revenge and suppressed me every day with this broken pagoda, guarding against me as if I were a thief. Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, in your eyes, was I ever your son?"

"No, I was just a tool for your promotion and wealth, a bargaining chip to show your loyalty to the Jade Emperor! I was a prop for you to display your 'sacrifice of family for justice'!"

"Today, I, Nezha, stand only as the Vanguard of the Tiance Divine Court! I am no son of the Li family!"

"Fight!"

Boom!

Nezha wasted no more words as his Three Heads and Six Arms dharma body instantly appeared. His six arms held six Magic Treasures—the Fire-Tipped Spear, Universe Ring, Sky-Muddling Ribbon, Golden Brick, Yin-Yang Swords, and the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Shroud.

He was like a ball of raging fire, or more like a human meat grinder, charging at Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King without hesitation.

"Presumptuous! Behold the pagoda!"

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was pale with shock and hurriedly sacrificed the exquisite pagoda.

"Om Mani Padme Hum! Suppress!"

The pagoda grew with the wind, transforming into a mountain ten thousand feet high. Carrying a golden light that suppressed all evil, it slammed down toward Nezha. A massive suction force came from the base of the pagoda, as if there were a black hole within.

In the past, Nezha would have had a psychological shadow regarding this pagoda; his body would instinctively feel fear, and his magic power would not flow smoothly.

But now...

"Boss Lin Feng said that fear comes from insufficient firepower! As long as your fists are hard enough, a Heart Demon is just a fart!"

Nezha roared, and the Fire-Tipped Spear in his hand erupted with raging Samadhi True Fire. This was a mutated flame enhanced by Lin Feng's 'Chaos Fire,' appearing in a bizarre purple-gold color that could even burn through space.

"Break for me—!"

Instead of retreating, Nezha advanced, his entire being transforming into a high-speed rotating fire drill that slammed violently into the base of the pagoda.

Clang—!!!

A loud bang followed, enough to shatter eardrums and break every pane of glass within a hundred miles.

That exquisite pagoda, claimed to be indestructible and specifically designed to counter Nezha, was actually knocked flying! A huge dent appeared at the base of the pagoda, and scorched marks left by the spear tip could even be seen.

"What?! This is impossible!"

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King spat out a mouthful of blood. The damage to his Lifebound Treasure caused his mind to reel. "This pagoda was blessed by the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord! Your strength... how can it be this powerful?!"

"Because everything I eat, use, and learn now is the best! I am no longer that child you can manipulate at will!"

Nezha pressed his advantage. The Universe Ring turned into a golden light, like a meteor chasing the moon, and with a "bang," it slammed heavily against Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King's protective golden light.

Crack!

The shield shattered instantly.

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was sent flying like a ragdoll. His newly bought top-tier armor shattered once again, and a large section of his chest caved in.

"Rebellious son! I am your father! You dare kill me? This is great unfiliality! You will be struck by lightning! You will suffer retribution!" Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King panicked completely and began to desperately play the emotional card, using the moral kidnapping he was best at.

Nezha's figure stopped in front of Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, the scorching tip of the Fire-Tipped Spear pressed against his throat, even singeing his skin.

Looking at the pathetic, terrified middle-aged man before him who lacked any fatherly dignity, the killing intent in Nezha's eyes surged, but ultimately turned into a long sigh.

"I won't kill you."

Nezha retracted his spear and looked at him coldly, his eyes no longer containing even a ripple of emotion. "Not because you are my father, but because I feel that killing you would dirty my hands. You are not worthy of dying by my spear."

"Go back and tell the Jade Emperor that Nezha, the Vanguard of the Tiance Divine Court, is leaving these words here: If the Heavenly Court dares to invade again, I will surely level the Lingxiao Palace! When that time comes, I will personally smash your divine statue!"

"Scram!"

Nezha He kicked Li Jing in the butt.， He was kicked back to the Heavenly Court camp like a football.。

"Good! Good! Good!"

Below, the eight hundred Grand Unity Golden Immortals of the City of Sin cheered in unison, their voices shaking the Nine Heavens.

This battle not only displayed Nezha's might but also shattered the myth of the Heavenly Court's invincibility and broke the so-called shackles of 'patriarchy.'

However.

Before everyone could celebrate for long.

In the sky, The Five Elders of the Five Directions, who had been silently observing, finally moved.

"The farce should end now."

The Central Yellow Horn Immortal spoke slowly, his voice aged yet carrying an unquestionable authority, as if the Heavenly Dao itself were speaking.

"Nezha may be strong, but he is ultimately a junior. To capture the bandits, one must first capture their leader. Once Lin Feng is taken, everything will naturally subside."

"Form the Formation—Five Elements Extinction Formation!"

The five elders stepped forward simultaneously, instantly vanishing from their spots and reappearing around Lin Feng, surrounding him.

Five pillars of light—green, yellow, red, white, and black—soared into the sky, forming a closed cage that completely isolated Lin Feng from the outside world.
