Chapter 31: Father and Son Turn Against Each Other! Strike!

Heavenly Court.

Cloud Net Palace.

"Unfilial son!"

"Do you want to rebel?"

Looking at the ice‑cold Nezha.

Li Jing let out an angry shout, a flash of vexation crossing his eyes.

He was actually frightened by Nezha's gaze!

This is simply a great disgrace! If I don't give Nezha a proper lesson! What dignity do I have as a father?

After saying that.

Li Jing's thought moved, and he directly took out the Exquisite Pagoda!

He is well aware that his pagoda counters Nezha!

Even if Nezha's cultivation is stronger than his father's, so what? As long as he activates the Exquisite Pagoda, Nezha can only be captured! Therefore!

Li Jing could almost picture Nezha begging for mercy! Holding that thought, Li Jing turned his gaze toward Nezha!

He wanted to see a frightened, submissive expression on Nezha's face!

However! Li Jing was disappointed! Nezha's face still bore an icy look! "Good!"

"Looks like I need to give you a lesson!"

"You truly don't know where you went wrong!"

The anger on Li Jing's face flared even more!

Just as his words fell.

Li Jing then directly activated the Exquisite Pagoda!

"Hum~"

Under the urging of his mana, the Exquisite Pagoda trembled slightly, transforming into a nine‑story tower that rushed to suppress Nezha!

In an instant! A terrifying devouring power enveloped Nezha!

This is the power of the Exquisite Pagoda, which can seal living beings inside to suppress the opponent! "Heh!"

Feeling the devouring power of the Exquisite Pagoda!

Nezha's mouth corner twitched up slightly, revealing a cold smile.

In the past years!

Because of his true lotus‑root form! He was always suppressed by the Exquisite Pagoda's power! But now! Although the Exquisite Pagoda's power is not bad! Wanting to suppress Nezha, however, is absolutely impossible! In the next moment! Nezha casually waved his hand! A golden light sliced through the void! This is Nezha's Gold Brick, refined from pure gold!

The Gold Brick, although merely a Top‑grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure! However, the Gold Brick is a purely martial‑type treasure!

In terms of destructive power, the Gold Brick even rivals some Low‑grade Primordial Spiritual Treasures! Now!

Under Nezha's control!

The Gold Brick, carrying heaven‑shaking power, smashed straight into the Exquisite Pagoda!

Two powerful treasures collided! "Boom!"

Terrifying mana ripples spread outward! The vast Cloud Net Palace, in the violent mana, turned into ruins!

Many servants and maidens of the Cloud Net Palace were directly slaughtered by these two mana forces!

Even Li Jing, at the Golden Immortal Peak, could not withstand this pressure, and involuntarily retreated a few steps!

Only Nezha alone stood still in place! "No!"

"This is impossible!"

Li Jing's face showed a look of disbelief.

In the past years!

As long as he uses the Exquisite Pagoda! Nezha will become completely powerless and be directly sucked into the Exquisite Pagoda!

But now! Nezha actually withstood the Exquisite Pagoda and activated another treasure! This is absolutely unacceptable to Li Jing!

Has the Exquisite Pagoda's counter against Nezha disappeared?

If that's really the case! How will he control Nezha in the future?

No! Wrong!

If the Exquisite Pagoda truly no longer counters Nezha! He not only cannot continue to control Nezha! Given Nezha's hatred of him, he might even strike him directly! "Boom!"

Just at this moment!

Under Nezha's control! The Gold Brick smashed into the Exquisite Pagoda again! This time, the Exquisite Pagoda was directly blasted away! Li Jing was dumbfounded! If it were other cultivators, breaking his Exquisite Pagoda!

Li Jing could accept that! Because he knows his own strength! Some powerful Taiyi Golden Immortals can break his Exquisite Pagoda!

But why is this person Nezha? Nezha is also a Taiyi Golden Immortal!

But isn't Nezha supposed to be countered by his Exquisite Pagoda? "No!"

"This is impossible!"

"I don't believe it!"

""."

Li Jing shouted loudly in excitement.

After all these years!

He had grown accustomed to using the Exquisite Pagoda to control Nezha! He refuses to accept that Nezha can resist him!

Because without Nezha, this powerful enforcer!

His status in the Heavenly Court would be greatly affected! Even!

As the Pagoda‑bearing Heavenly King, he would likely become a laughingstock among the immortals! "Impossible?"

Don't believe?

Father, you're still so naive!

Looking at the somewhat crazy Li Jing.

Ne Zha drew the fire-tip spear and walked step by step toward Li Jing!

At this moment, Ne Zha's eyes were filled with icy killing intent! After all these years!

In Li Jing's hands, he has suffered much injustice! How aggravating!

Because of the Linglong Pagoda, Ne Zha could only endure all these grievances!

Now!

The Linglong Pagoda can no longer restrain Ne Zha! In this situation, Ne Zha naturally wants to return all these grievances to his own father! "Unfilial son!"

What do you want to do?

I am your father; do you want to commit patricide?

Looking at Ne Zha walking toward himself.

Li Jing panicked!

He's not an idiot! He certainly knows how much Ne Zha despises himself! Even if Ne Zha strikes to commit patricide, it's not impossible! But he doesn't want to die!

Although he is on the Investiture of the Gods list, he will not truly die!

However, there is a great difference between the physical body being on the list and the true spirit being on the list! The physical body on the list can still cultivate normally and become stronger!

If the true spirit is on the list, it can only accept incense, thus slowly becoming stronger!

Li Jing, namely, his physical body is on the list, but he has never been ranked among the immortals!

If Ne Zha were to slay him!

Although Li Jing can be resurrected through the Investiture of the Gods list!

But Li Jing's true spirit would remain on the Investiture of the Gods list, becoming a true-spirit on the list!

This is something Li Jing cannot accept! "Ne Zha!"

Don't be impulsive!

As father, I guarantee I will surely treat you well from now on!

Li Jing kept retreating! While retreating, he also kept speaking to persuade.

He wanted to play the emotion card to make Ne Zha calm down first! As for whether he would truly treat Ne Zha well, that's impossible!

He would only find other ways to restrain Ne Zha, making Ne Zha again his lackey! "You"

Too much nonsense!

As Ne Zha's words fell.

Ne Zha turned into a streak of escape light, rushing straight at Li Jing to kill him! The fire-tip spear in his hand flashed with a cold killing intent, pointing straight at Li Jing's head!

No!

Li Jing's soul fled in terror.

He very much wanted to escape and dodge Ne Zha's killing move! But he is ultimately just a Golden Immortal cultivator!

Ne Zha, however, had already reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm! Li Jing had no possibility to escape! As Li Jing was about to be buried beneath the fire-tip spear, at the critical moment, a long sword came flying through the air and struck Ne Zha's fire-tip spear!

Ne Zha's figure paused! And Li Jing, having saved his life! (End of chapter)
