Chapter 43 Calamity
"My father called me a monster, and the people in the village treated me like a plague. Only my mother protected me and loved me."
"I don't want my mother to live in fear because of me, and I don't want to implicate the people of Chentang Pass."
Looking at this war god who proved his Dao through killing during the Investiture of the Gods and whose fearsome reputation was infamous, he now looked as helpless as a mortal child who had made a mistake.
Lin Yuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
This is the will of Heaven as sharp as a knife; this is the karmic calamity of cause and effect.
Born to be a killer, how could he not undergo the tempering of blood?
......
half a month later.
The world has changed.
No longer can a ray of sunlight be seen above Chentang Pass.
Dark clouds loom over the city, threatening to crush it!
That was a true apocalyptic scene.
Four real dragons, each a thousand feet long, coiled above the sky above Chentang Pass.
Behind them, the waters of the East China Sea surged back up!
The seawater, which blotted out the sky, hovered in mid-air, as if with just a thought from the four true dragons, this earth-shattering wall of water would crash down and completely erase the entire Chentang Pass from the map.
"hold head high--"
The roar of a dragon, mixed with murderous intent, locked onto the city.
Inside Chentang Pass, a million people knelt in the streets.
Inside the main hall of the General's Mansion.
Li Jing, the general of Chentang Pass, had lost all his former commanding presence.
His hair was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, and he clutched the imperial edict from Chaoge City.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has abandoned us..."
Li Jing originally thought that since he had been guarding the border for many years, the Shang Dynasty would surely send troops or send powerful figures to help him.
But the imperial edict is written very clearly.
Emperor Xin had already taken the blame for the crime by making the lieutenant general Chu Tianhe take the fall, shifting all the blame onto Chentang Pass.
He ordered Li Jing to hand over Nezha himself to appease the dragon's wrath!
"The Shang Dynasty won't save us, and the Heavenly Court won't intervene... The lives of millions of people in this city are at stake!"
Li Jing completely broke down.
He suddenly drew the bronze sword from his waist, which was used to slay demons and monsters, and stumbled towards the backyard.
In the backyard, Madam Yin shielded Nezha behind her, weeping uncontrollably.
"Li Jing, what are you doing?! He's your own flesh and blood!" Madam Yin cried out in anguish.
"His own flesh and blood? He's a scourge to the city, a harbinger of disaster!"
Li Jing's eyes were bloodshot as he pointed his sword at Nezha, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Because you pulled out the tendons of that demonic dragon, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas flooded Chen Tang Pass!"
"If you don't die today, a million people outside the city will die with you! You unfilial son, confess your crimes!"
The cold, sharp edge of the sword was pointed at Nezha's brow.
There is no escape route.
There were no reinforcements.
Even his closest father wanted him dead.
Nezha smiled and gently pushed away Madam Yin, who had been protecting him.
All the grievances and timidity on her small face vanished without a trace in that instant.
"it is good."
"One person does the work, one person takes the blame."
Nezha grabbed the Fire-Tipped Spear stuck in the ground, and the Wind-Fire Wheels under his feet burst into flames with a "boom".
"I'll pay for my own life!"
"Whoosh—"
A crimson meteor streaked against the dark clouds and sea, rushing up the city wall of Chentang Pass.
......
Above the nine heavens, atop the towering clouds.
Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, the wind blowing his black robe.
His eyes were filled with the "Qi Fortune Observation Technique".
In his view, Chen Tang Pass below was not only shrouded in the bloodthirsty aura of the Four Seas Dragon Clan.
Deep within the void of a higher dimension, there was a pure Jade Purity Immortal Light hidden!
"Taiyi Zhenren..."
Lin Yuan's gaze pierced through the layers of mist, and he saw the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect holding a whisk deep in the clouds.
"It really is here."
"As one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, a fiercely protective demon, how could you possibly stand by and watch your precious disciple be forced to his death by the Dragon Clan?"
But Lin Yuan knew perfectly well that Taiyi Zhenren was currently trapped by the "destiny" and "calamity" of this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods.
There are a million ordinary people living below Chentang Pass.
If Taiyi Zhenren were to forcefully step in to protect Nezha at this moment, he would be going against the will of Heaven. If the waters of the four seas were to overflow, the enormous karma of millions of lives would be directly attributed to the Chan Sect!
This karma is something even a Golden Immortal couldn't bear!
"He's waiting."
Lin Yuan looked at the small red figure below, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
"Taiyi is waiting for Nezha to 'die'."
"Only when Nezha returned his bones to his father and his flesh to his mother, severing the blood ties and karma of this mortal world, could Taiyi use his lotus incarnation to help him reshape his golden body, creating a ruthless war god born solely for the purpose of slaughter!"
All of this was a scheme.
The scheming of sages, the scheming of immortals.
Even the Four Dragon Kings are nothing more than a few pitiful pieces in this grand game of chess.
......
Chentang Pass.
The wind was fierce, making Nezha's red bellyband flutter loudly.
He stood alone on the city wall with only a gun, looking up at the four thousand-foot-long true dragons in the sky.
"Old mudfish, your grandpa Li Nezha is here!"
Holding his Fire-Tipped Spear, Nezha pointed it at Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, in the sky and let out a childish roar.
"You little beast, today is your death day!"
Ao Guang's eyes were bloodshot as the enormous body of the true dragon tumbled in the clouds.
"The Great Formation of the Four Seas, activate!"
With a roar from Ao Guang, the four true dragons simultaneously spat out their dragon pearls.
The terrifying dragon formation was activated instantly, and a torrential downpour of lightning and frost swept towards the city walls.
"war!"
Nezha laughed wildly, and riding on his Wind and Fire Wheels, he charged forward instead of retreating, directly into the sky full of thunder.
The Fire-Tipped Spear transformed into countless spear shadows, colliding violently with the four true dragons in mid-air.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
This is the end of the God of War.
Although Nezha was brave, the pure yang fire within him had not yet reached its full potential.
Under the suppression of the Four Seas Dragon Clan's grand formation, what made him even more restrained was that he dared not recklessly use the Hun Tian Ling and Qian Kun Quan!
If he exerts even the slightest bit too much force, the billions of tons of seawater hanging overhead will completely spiral out of control, and Chentang Pass below will instantly transform into a living hell.
He was hesitant.
He was holding back.
"Pfft!"
A dragon's tail swept across like a mountain, slamming into Nezha's back.
Nezha spat out a mouthful of blood, which crashed onto the city wall, creating a large crater in the bricks.
"The traitor..."
Beneath the city wall, Li Jing's hand gripping his sword trembled.
Lady Yin had already fainted from crying.
Nezha struggled to get up from the ruins.
He was covered in blood, and his topknot was disheveled.
But his back was ramrod straight.
Ao Guang's cold voice echoed from the dark clouds in the sky.
"Li Jing, I'm giving you one last chance!"
"As long as this little beast dies, and pays with his life, my Four Seas Dragon Clan will immediately withdraw its troops."
"The million ants of Chentang Pass can then survive."
"Otherwise, I will have Chen Tang Pass sunk to the bottom of the East Sea today, never to rise again!"
Nezha wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He glanced down at the people below the city who were desperately kowtowing and begging him to die, and then at his mother with her full head of white hair.
There was no anger in his eyes, only a bitter laugh.
"Uncle Yuan is right."
"These rules, these dates, are absolutely disgusting."
