The Investiture: Unlimited Blade Works Nezha-Chapter 374 - 373: Continue the Fight
Nanming Lihuo, I, Nezha, am also somewhat familiar with it. My hands flew as I formed a seal, and one of the nine flame dragons on the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield took a defensive stance. Nezha directly spewed a blue flame onto the Fire Dragon.
The flame was absorbed by the Fire Dragon, causing its energy to surge. The Fire Dragon roared furiously and coiled into a ball. After a breath, a phoenix cry sounded, and a Fire Phoenix emerged from its shell.
Nezha said ’Go’ to the Water Dragon.
Without any hesitation, the Fire Phoenix swooped towards the Water Dragon, and a desperate struggle between the dragon and the phoenix ensued.
Chao Feng suddenly pulled out a red jade-like piece about half a meter long and swung it towards the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield.
Nezha intended to control the Fire Dragon to resist, but the nine flame dragons trembled in front of the Little Fire Stick, and the moment they touched, they dissipated instantly. The short stick struck the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield hard, shattering its defense instantly.
Nezha suffered from mana backlash, feeling uncomfortable under his armpits.
Chao Feng mercilessly swung a second blow directly at Nezha’s head. Nezha used the Qiankun Ring to block, but with a crack, an imprint was left on the Qiankun Ring, while the Little Fire Stick remained intact.
What sort of treasure is this?
Chao Feng didn’t give Nezha a chance to catch his breath, infusing mana into the Little Fire Stick. The crimson stick shadow engulfed Nezha. As a member of the Dragon Clan, Chao Feng’s physical strength and close combat ability were unmatched by immortals of the same level, but the means were relatively singular.
Nezha’s figure slowed and split into three to dodge. The stick shadow of Chao Feng struck two of them, turning them into nothingness, stirring up immense waves.
The third Nezha’s form solidified, and with a shake, the Huntian Silk on him directly entangled the Little Fire Stick.
Chao Feng fiercely pulled, dragging Nezha closer, intending to strike again with the Little Fire Stick, but Nezha twisted the Huntian Silk, leveraging it to place his hand on Chao Feng’s head and unleash the divine skill "Grabbing Head."
"Grabbing Head," a name given by Nezha, is a modified version of the great divine skill Handheld Buddha Country. Its function is simple: it allows the opponent’s head to exist within a palm-sized space created by Nezha, creating a spatial dislocation between the body and Great Dao.
The weak would directly have their heads severed by the closed space, but evidently, Chao Feng was not weak; he was extraordinarily strong.
Even after Nezha pressed down, Chao Feng, headless, wielded the Little Fire Stick wildly but could not attack Nezha. Nezha, familiar with Dragon Clan weaknesses due to his close relationship with Kong Xuan, was not unfamiliar with them.
With another hand, he brought out a Demon-Subduing Pestle, aiming it three inches below Chao Feng’s neck, exactly where the Dragon Clan keeps their reverse scale. Even though Chao Feng’s head and body were spatially separated, leading to uncoordinated control, he still protected his weak point meticulously.
With two whooshes behind him, a pair of massive Phoenix Wings emerged and then suddenly clashed to block Nezha’s strike. Though the feathered blades on the Phoenix Wings seemed soft, the Demon-Subduing Pestle rang with a metallic clang when it struck.
Not wasting the hard-earned opportunity, Nezha performed an aerial flip to the back, and with a boom, he smashed his fist onto the root of the right wing repeatedly.
Although the head was not present, and Chao Feng’s feelings were unknown, his body trembled, which was presumably exhilarating.
After the eighth punch, Nezha’s expression changed. He quickly retracted the hand performing "Grabbing Head" and slapped it onto Chao Feng’s wing root. With a pop, as if something shattered, a torrent of Dragon Breath gushed from Nezha’s hand, causing Chao Feng’s wing root to suffer again. Nezha seized the moment as Chao Feng adjusted to spatial recovery.
Ignoring the ghastly burn on his hand, he clutched the right wing and pulled down vigorously.
"Ah!"
Chao Feng snapped back and breathed Dragon Breath at Nezha, who used the freshly torn, blood-dripping wing as a shield against the breath.
You won’t believe it, but this thing sure is sturdy!
Barely had this thought crossed Nezha’s mind when a thunderclap sounded, lightning pierced through the Phoenix Wing, impacting Nezha, who froze as a sound of something breaking through the air followed.
Nezha hurriedly summoned the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield to cover himself. But a terrifying force arrived, sending Nezha, now inside the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield, flying like a ball. He skidded ten thousand feet across the sea before stopping.
Being suppressed by someone else’s equipment for the first time, Nezha was indeed a bit miffed, thinking, ’I can’t handle him without using some tricks!’
Infinite Dao Domain, rise!
Chao Feng, who was charging over, suddenly realized the surroundings had changed. Originally at sea, it had shifted to the starry sky. However, he dismissed this as inconsequential; in the face of absolute cultivation suppression, any means were futile.
He glanced at his own Jiuzhou Furnace, still in his mouth, and swallowed it into his belly, lifting the Little Fire Stick and swinging it across the void.
Nezha raised his hand and summoned numerous projections of the Qiankun Ring, interlinked and glowing with golden light, to block this terrifying strike. With a reverse flick, countless Fire-tipped Spears gathered by his side and burst towards Chao Feng.
Chao Feng allowed the Fire-tipped Spears to land on him, remaining unharmed. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
"Kid, if that’s all you’ve got, you can die now."
He had already spotted that all these fake treasures were nothing but counterfeits.
Nezha ignored his trash talk and pointed at Chao Feng.
"Lock!"
The surrounding stars returned to their positions, swiftly forming a Star Formation as countless divine runes illuminated and the Three Lights descended. The boundless power of the starry sky pressed on Chao Feng, nearly collapsing his body despite his formidable physique.
It wasn’t over yet. Centered around Nezha and Chao Feng, a Tai Chi Map Seal rose abruptly. With Nezha’s command of "Twist," two Five Elements tore at Chao Feng’s body.
With two negative statuses applied, Nezha beckoned, and a golden stick appeared in his hand, which he swung at Chao Feng.
Chao Feng, while under the negative status effects, wielded the Little Fire Stick and engaged Nezha. The stick in Nezha’s hand was made with Sumeru Gold and fortified Ruyi Iron, lasting only a short while but allowing for recycling and reuse.
The two of them, one long, one short, one gold, one red, continued to battle. Initially, Chao Feng relied on his strong attributes to suppress Nezha, but as time went on, he noticed his strength waning while his opponent’s strength grew.
Every time he exerted full power, Nezha would somehow siphon away half of it. Yet without using mana, Nezha would hit him square in the face with the staff. Though the Jiuzhou Furnace helped him recover, its supply of blood was not infinite.
Nezha sensed that Chao Feng had reached the end of his wits. This guy was just a hexagonal warrior. Though he had no weaknesses, he also had no bursts of power.
Facing Nezha, slightly inferior as a hexagonal warrior, without achieving a critical hit, Nezha was now using divine skills, Daoist Skills, and arrays to gradually wear down his life, leaving him helpless.
Though Dragon Clan’s regenerative abilities are strong, they cannot withstand self-infliction.
Every attempt he made to unleash great divine power to break Nezha’s Dao Domain was thwarted by Nezha, who triggered the Three Lights’ power, interrupting him. Nezha himself remained unfatigued, his staff relentless.
