Chapter 100

One moment, I'll deal with you later!

Li Jing's face turned stern: "Follow me to subdue the demons."

To him, as long as Nezha goes out to subdue demons for him, he can do as he pleases in daily life.

The implied meaning of this sentence is: help him, and the reprimand will be waived.

"Understood, so annoying." Nezha feigned complaint, which was his usual demeanor.

As long as they don't discover him in female attire, anything goes.

The two didn't linger, but directly left the mansion to muster troops.

"This time the demon is no ordinary foe, also of Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation; you must utterly annihilate it to prove the might of my Heavenly Court!" Li Jing instructed.

He had previously suffered defeat in subduing the demon monkey and did not wish to fall twice more, otherwise wouldn't it let the entire Heavenly Court look down on him?

"Understood." Nezha smirked coldly in his heart, still prestige?

In his view, it was merely for that bit of fame, profit, and gain, but Nezha also did not expose it.

He did not want to be so bored as to go play for days in the Linglong Pagoda.

"Is it in here?" Nezha gazed with a solemn expression at the dense forest mountains below.

Having obtained the specific location, Nezha leapt down, rushed straight to the cave dwelling, took out the gold brick, and fiercely smashed it against the gate.

Bang!

As expected, the gate shattered instantly, and along with it, the few gate-guarding little demons were caught off guard and met their demise.

But there were also survivors, rolling and crawling as they fled deep into the cave dwelling.

While running, they shouted in panic: "Oh no, oh no, someone has come to attack the gate!"

Upon hearing this, the demon king who was leading the drinking and revelry flew into a rage: which blind fool dares to touch his bad luck!

"You lot, fetch my regalia!" The demon king's anger surged to the heavens, his hairy face revealing a ferocity beyond compare.

"You're about to die, what regalia are you still fetching!" A booming voice rang out.

The demon king turned toward the sound's source: a figure in a lotus skirt, wielding a fire spear, with clear eyebrows, beautiful eyes, red lips, and white teeth.

Simply standing there, he exuded an air of arrogance.

The demon king grinned, speaking in a gloomy tone: "I thought who it would be, turns out it's the renowned Nezha, Third Prince."

Hearing the demon king's mocking tone, Nezha did not immediately respond.

He stared fixedly at the demon king, speaking coldly: "Are those people outside your doing?"

"So what if they are?" The demon king cared not at all.

How so?

Nezha only felt his inner resentment rising, gritting his teeth as he said: "You have harmed humanity, acted with brutal cruelty and boundless wickedness; I, by imperial decree, have come to annihilate you—will you not surrender and bind yourself?"

As he walked, he saw human limbs scattered everywhere, bloodshed extreme, cruelty at its peak.

"What? If humans are allowed to eat monkeys, then we cannot eat humans?"

The demon king showed no concern, smiling teasingly: "Nezha, you won't really think I called you 'Third Prince' once because I fear you?"

"No matter how you are, you're merely a Taiyi Golden Immortal after all!"

"And among Taiyi Golden Immortals, there are plenty who could kill you!"

Killing intent thickened in the demon king's eyes: "For example, me, the Monkey King!"

"Then let's try!" Nezha also radiated killing intent.

This demon, deserves death!

One person and one demon formed a suppressing aura, causing the surrounding little demons to scatter and flee, with many even fleeing straight out of the cave.

"Heavenly King, shall we not go support the Third Prince?" Li Jing's veteran attendant Ji Ling Shen said with some concern.

In the previous battle, Ji Ling Shen had not joined the army due to gate duty rotation, and Li Jing thought victory would come easily, so he did not prepare to bring him along to share merits.

However, if it were not easy, Ji Ling Shen going would be in vain.

"Support what? Now the situation inside the cave is unclear; if we still show weakness to lure the enemy, and there is an ambush, what then? Wouldn't that be abandoning the lives of these thirty thousand heavenly soldiers and generals?" Li Jing's expression was solemn,

analyzing the matter thoroughly.

Ji Ling Shen scratched his head, a bit puzzled.

Before, during defeats or greedy advances, he had never seen much concern for these heavenly soldiers and generals; besides, these were all heavenly soldiers and generals who had signed the Investiture of the Gods, and even if they died, they could be revived.

How come this time Li Tianwang is suddenly concerned about the soldiers?

But he also wasn't foolish enough to voice this thought, for the Third Prince's divine powers are vast, and dealing with demons should pose no problem.

Meanwhile inside the cave, Na Zha and the Monkey King were already fighting fiercely.

Man wields spear, monkey wields staff.

After several rounds of combat, they were evenly matched.

"Unexpected, your martial skills are quite impressive." Nezha felt astonished, coldly humming and shouting.

His martial arts had been honed in the Great Calamity of the Investiture of the Gods; this demon king shares his cultivation realm, so how could his martial arts be so exquisite?

It seems the two monkeys he has encountered are both not easy to deal with!

"This is no need for the Third Prince to worry about; you should instead worry about whether you have the ability to leave alive." The Monkey King coldly laughed, then intensified his assault.

"Courting death!" Nezha's heart flared with anger; this monkey demon not only massacres humanity, but also constantly shouts to kill him, truly treating Nezha as a soft persimmon to be squeezed!

With a light shout, Nezha's entire being transformed into a three-headed, six-armed posture, and his six hands all grasped magical treasures, simultaneously striking toward the Monkey King.

Speaking of the Third Generation disciples of Chan Jiao, who is the most nourished? Certainly Nezha.

Among the Three Pure Ones, who protects the shortcoming the most? Yu Qingyuan Shi.

And among the Twelve Golden Immortals, who has fully developed this aspect of growth? Only Taiyi Zhenren.

Basically, Nezha's entire set of magical treasures is roughly equivalent to Taiyi Zhenren's wealth during the Investiture of the Gods period.

In an instant, the Monkey King fell into a disadvantageous position.

"Damn it, don't think only you have magic treasures!" The Monkey King's face turned cold.

He leapt backward and pulled out a lamp.

The lamp body was emerald green, and the flame inside matched the lamp's color, splitting into two streams of fire.

"Seize!" The Monkey King shouted loudly, and the lamp suddenly generated immense suction.

Nezha, caught off guard, was directly sucked into the lamp.

"Hmph, once you enter my Jade Light Two Instruments Lamp, don't even think about coming out alive." The Monkey King gloated, slightly shaking the magic treasure in his hand.

This was a tremendous opportunity he had obtained; the Jade Light Two Instruments Lamp originally belonged to Dong Huang Qin Gong and was an innate spiritual treasure.

Back when Dong Huang Tai Yi perished, this lamp was scattered among the Three Realms, yet he, the Monkey King, happened to obtain it by chance.

The lamp's uses are endless; once a person enters, a single thought transforms into myriad thoughts, disturbing the mind and spirit.

Moreover, when the holder enters, the Jade Light Two Instruments Lamp can convert spiritual energy into the Two Instruments' qi, greatly enhancing cultivation speed.

Although this magic treasure has only now managed to break a seal after so many years, using it against a mere late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal like Nezha—isn't that overkill?

"You aren't a fleshly Saint, are you? I'll let you perish in body and spirit, leaving only your soul to return to the register!" The Monkey King sneered, full of self-satisfaction.

"You lot, guard the cave entrance strictly. Wait until this Nezha turns into thick liquid—he'll surely frighten the Heavenly Court into retreating without attack. Tonight, we'll hold a human flesh banquet to celebrate!"

The Monkey King gave orders to his subordinates, while Nezha, who had entered the Jade Light Two Instruments Lamp, was astonished beyond measure.

At this moment, beneath his feet was a seamless expanse of emerald crystal jade, smooth beyond compare, with the horizon invisible in the distance.

In the center stood a two-foot-tall cyan jade slab serving as a floorboard, bearing two wicks that burned into two flames, intertwining as if entwined, with firefly sparks merely drifting upward.
