Chapter 2114

Heavenly Emperor Haotian's expression shifted slightly as he narrowed his slender phoenix eyes, looking at Nezha kneeling in the hall.

The combat strength of Li Jing and Nezha was ranked among the best within the entire Heavenly Court, not to mention they had led one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers. How could they have been defeated so quickly?

Nezha kept his head bowed, kneeling in the hall, not daring to look up at Haotian. However, Haotian did not punish him; it seemed the situation this time had far exceeded his expectations.

With a wave of Haotian's hand, the scene of the battle outside the South Heaven Gate appeared before everyone's eyes.

One could see the Red Lotus Enchantress of the Wuxiang Realm suspended high in the sky, her left eye spewing crimson flames and her right eye spewing white flames. To her left was Red Boy, his Fire-Tipped Spear as fast as lightning, slaughtering all the heavenly soldiers around him. Then, he opened his mouth, and an incomparably scorching flame erupted, instantly burning a path of thick smoke hundreds of meters long. The heavenly soldiers, engulfed in flames, fell from the sky with miserable cries.

To the right of the Red Lotus Enchantress was a young man resembling a scholar in white, extremely refined in appearance, yet his brows carried an air of gloom. He wielded a pair of precious swords; the sword in his right hand slashed out bright, snowy light around him, while the other sword, controlled by some unknown force, danced incessantly around his body, and wherever it passed, heavenly soldiers fell one after another.

Looking at the demons of the Wuxiang Realm, above the clouds below, there were uniform gray-white humanoid monsters. Their skin was slippery, seemingly coated in a layer of mucus, and their entire bodies were wrapped in this skin, with nothing particularly distinct about them, save for their faces, which were especially strange. There were no facial features at all, only a single, massive vertical eye standing in the center of their foreheads.

These one-eyed evil spirits appeared to possess extremely powerful combat capabilities. At the front line where the two armies met, the heavenly soldiers holding weapons were approached by them with eerie and swift movement techniques. That mucus seemed capable of resisting blades and spears, and they would grab the heavenly soldiers, then savagely begin to tear them apart by hand.

Moreover, these one-eyed evil spirits were not all melee fighters. In the rear, a small portion were clearly mages; they held staves high in their hands, and their respective single eyes flashed with various colors of light, summoning wind, fire, thunder, and lightning to launch large-scale attacks on the heavenly soldiers.

Li Jing held his precious sword and charged into the formation. His back armor had been slashed by someone, leaving a bloody mark. His Exquisite Pagoda had already been released, hanging high in the sky, reaching a height of six or seven hundred meters, with the pagoda's diameter also spanning forty or fifty meters wide.

A powerful suction force emanated from the dark opening beneath the pagoda, beginning to draw those evil spirits into it.

"Li Jing is here! I will never let you evil spirits step even half a step into the South Heaven Gate!"

Li Jing held his precious sword, his thick brows standing upright, and shouted loudly.

"Hehehe!" The Red Lotus Enchantress emitted a series of cold, chilling laughs, looking at Li Jing with seductive eyes, and said, "So you are the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly Li Tianwang. I have heard of your name; you do have some skill."

"But this little bit of skill of yours is simply not enough to look at."

At this moment, the white-clad scholar gracefully flew to the side of the Red Lotus Enchantress, looked at Li Jing, raised his brows with a smile, and said, "The Twin-Sword Jade Young Master of the Wuxiang Realm has come specifically to learn from the Heavenly King's high techniques!"

Li Jing looked at this scholar, his eyes suddenly filled with anger. The heavenly soldiers he had brought had already suffered heavy casualties. The cultivation bases of these evil spirits were clearly stronger than those of the heavenly soldiers, and the opponent's flames and large-scale magical attacks posed a massive threat to the heavenly soldiers.
