The Investiture: Unlimited Blade Works Nezha-Chapter 371 - 370: The Flood at Chentang Pass
The long-enduring Little Brother, upon hearing Old Li’s words, couldn’t wait any longer and charged forward.
"Ugly monster, I’ve tolerated you long enough, watch me burn you to death!"
Accompanied by these words, Little Brother stepped on the Wind and Fire Wheel, clad in Huntian Silk, wielding a Qiankun Ring in one hand and a Fire-tipped Spear in the other, charged forward. He aimed three strikes at the huge dragon head, then threw the Qiankun Ring.
The massive flame-gun light instantly poked three holes in the dragon head, the Qiankun Ring whirling as it shattered the dragon head.
The dragon-like figure in front of him was, in fact, just a mirage-like illusion with no real combat capability. Now shattered by Nezha, the dragon head, pierced with three holes, continued to speak.
"Good, good, Li Jing, brat, in three days I will flood Chentang!"
With these words, the dragon head was directly shattered by Little Brother.
The terrifying dragon figure looming overhead dissipated, and sunlight, unseen for months, finally shone down on everyone once more. The continuous heavy rains had left bodies cold, but hearts gradually grew cold.
In three days, Chentang will be flooded.
Li Jing returned to the camp with a solemn face. The first thing he did was begin evacuating the crowd. Nezha was formidable, but after all, he was just a seven-year-old child; he didn’t think he could fight the Evil Dragon.
As for seeking help?
In these rainy months, he had already done everything he could, yet no response came from any side. He didn’t know why, but at this moment, he could only rely on himself.
His plan was to drive away as many as possible, but in the end...
"Has the Third Young Master left?"
"Yes, where’s the Third Young Master?"
Though Li Jing wasn’t close with his third child, it didn’t mean he didn’t understand their personality. Facing the citizens’ sincere eyes, he couldn’t lie, but he also didn’t want them to stay and lose their lives in vain.
So, he could only remain silent. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"If the Third Young Master doesn’t leave, neither will we!"
"Yeah, we’ll fight that Evil Dragon if it comes to it!"
"Damn, even if I die, I’ll take a bite of dragon flesh!"
Nezha stood nearby, watching with interest, curious to see how Little Brother would handle the situation.
Little Brother smirked; he knew this guy beside him enjoyed watching the fun, but didn’t understand why his personality was so mischievous. If he were younger, he probably would have been more of a brat than he was!
Little Brother leaped onto the city gate.
"Shut up!"
With a simple phrase, he attracted everyone’s attention.
"That ugly dragon, I alone will take him down!
You troublesome guys just get lost, or I’ll have to protect you during the fight, which will totally affect my performance!"
The people below were clearly familiar with Little Brother’s way of speaking. Despite his disdainful words, they showed no anger, but rather excitement.
"That’s right, the Third Young Master is a young hero; a little Evil Dragon is no match!"
"Yeah, yeah, let’s leave then. We wouldn’t want to burden the Third Young Master."
Little Brother was a bit dissatisfied; being called a hero was fine, but what was adding ’young’ to it supposed to mean?
Nonetheless, his words had an effect. With Old Li’s mobilization, a third of Chentang’s population was eventually evacuated. It was unavoidable, as three days was too short a time.
Li Jing worked tirelessly day and night, appearing ten years older overnight.
However, the entire Li Family was in perfect harmony, with no one mentioning retreat.
After three days, East Sea’s waves roared to the heavens, dark clouds covered the sun, and the previously ceased heavy rain returned. The surging seawater directly flooded Chentang City. Amidst the crashing waves, a creature with a dragon’s head and human body appeared, followed by a Yaksha and countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
Li Jing on the city wall was the first to speak: "Which dragon prince are you, planning to provoke a war between the Dragon Clan and Human Clan?"
"A lowly general doesn’t represent the Human Clan. This Dragon King’s Third Prince is here to punish you for disrespecting the Immortal Gods!"
"You..."
Li Jing wanted to say more, but Little Brother had already transformed into a line of fire, charging upward.
"Why talk so much with this ugly creature? Watch me take out his dragon sinew for your belt!"
Little Brother’s Huntian Silk unfurled, transforming into a thousand-feet length, whipping the seawater. Seemingly weightless, the red silk stirred up enormous waves, instantly killing any shrimp soldiers and crab generals it touched, and those further away were sent flying by the seawater’s mighty force.
The entire sponge was filled with a strange scarlet hue.
Ao Bing, seeing Nezha so fierce, kicked the Yaksha Li Gen beside him upwards: "What are you watching? Attack!"
Though Li Gen was dumbfounded, he didn’t dare defy the Third Prince’s order. Brandishing a steel pitchfork, he shouted, "Brat, taste my pitchfork!"
Little Brother treated fighting shrimp soldiers and crab generals like child’s play. Hearing the sound behind him, he immediately chanted a spell, and a layer of dark golden light enveloped him.
Li Gen’s pitchfork struck Little Brother with a ’clang!’; Little Brother remained unharmed, while Li Gen was sent flying back, retreating far. Little Brother seized the opportunity, turned, and speared through Yaksha Li Gen’s abdomen, his mana emitting flames from the spearhead. With a scream, Li Gen’s organs were cooked to eighty percent.
Little Brother spun around, retracting his Fire-tipped Spear as the aroma of roasted meat wafted from Li Gen’s chest, and he fell into the seawater.
Killing Yaksha Li Gen in one strike, Little Brother pointed his spear at Ao Bing and said, "Ugly monster, I’m going to skin you now!"
With those words, he held his spear and charged forward.
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals below had begun clashing with Li Jing’s army. Seeing Little Brother’s heroics, the soldiers’ morale soared, and the battle commenced. It wasn’t long before the deep blue seawater turned blood red.
Seeing Nezha charging at him, Ao Bing summoned two Golden Hammers, and fought fiercely with Nezha.
Little Brother brandished his Fire-tipped Spear and Qiankun Ring, attacking Ao Bing aggressively. Yet Ao Bing wasn’t a pushover; his cultivation was higher than Little Brother’s, and his body was stronger.
Even though Little Brother’s magical treasures were many and his burst power strong, he was temporarily suppressed, but if it dragged on, victory would be his.
Little Brother apparently noticed this and immediately reduced his mana output, using his martial skills and the inherent strength of his magical treasures to attack Ao Bing.
The two were evenly matched in martial prowess, locked in a stalemate.
Ao Bing occasionally used local advantages to cast Water Element Magic to assist and consume him. Nezha, being of the Fire Element, felt increasingly stifled, directly summoning the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield to refine Ao Bing.
But Ao Bing was cunning; sensing something amiss, he dove underwater, leaving Little Brother’s killing move to miss, forcing him to retract the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield, focusing on the surrounding water.
From below the sea, dragon roars erupted, and four massive waves rose around Little Brother, restricting his movement. Suddenly, a blue giant dragon with a topping wave descended on him.
Little Brother stood unafraid and shouted, ’Open’, as a ten-meter golden Dharma Form appeared behind him, wielding a massive flame spear over ten meters long, thrusting it into the sky.
Crimson flames tangled with azure seawater, continuously making sizzling sounds and creating a sky filled with white mist.
Bang!
The four massive waves descended, crushing countless Sea Clan members and dissipating the white mist, revealing a golden figure astride a blue giant dragon.
