Chapter 2145: The Siege of the Heavenly Palace

Above the South Heaven Gate, dark clouds gradually closed in. Haotian glanced at the immortals, stepped down from his throne, and said, "Today, the survival of the Heavenly Court depends on our fate. My fellow immortals, if you wish to leave, I will not stop you. If you wish to fight, then stand with me and fight to the end!"

Within the Heavenly Court, one immortal looked left and right, rolled his eyes a few times, then turned his body and headed straight for the back gate of the Heavenly Court.

The remaining immortals all cast looks of disdain at that immortal.

"Heavenly Emperor, Nezha will go first!"

Nezha walked into the hall, knelt, and then said in a loud voice.

Nezha's voice echoed throughout the entire Heavenly Court, lingering for a long time.

Haotian looked at Nezha. Having previously sent him as the vanguard to resist the forces, Nezha was already injured, and he had even lost one of his Wind Fire Wheels.

Yet, this Third Prince Nezha showed no trace of fear in his eyes; instead, in this moment of crisis, he displayed extraordinary courage.

Nezha flew out. Li Jing, seeing this from the side, was naturally worried for Nezha's safety and immediately dragged his pagoda along, following Nezha toward the South Heaven Gate.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Heavenly Soldiers guarding the entrance of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall also followed Nezha and his father, all heading toward the South Heaven Gate. Though their force was less than a thousand, they moved forward without hesitation.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, a massive flame exploded at the South Heaven Gate, exceptionally dazzling and blinding.

Nezha flew backward, falling into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, and Li Jing followed, tumbling in as well.

"Wuwu-gaga!"

The sky was filled with the dark, oppressive sounds of the Radium Bat swarm, their strange cries filling the ears of the immortals.

Nezha crashed into a coiled-dragon pillar and rolled to the ground, spitting out a large mouthful of blood. He still clutched his chest, looking toward the South Heaven Gate with an expression of extreme unwillingness.

Li Jing's state was no better; the Exquisite Pagoda in his hand had been dropped to the side, and he drifted into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, barely able to stand.

"Today!"

"I, the Red Lotus High Priest of the Wuxiang Realm, lead the vanguard to flatten the Lingxiao Treasure Hall."

"All you ants, if you are sensible, kneel and surrender, and I may grant you a quick death. If you resist, I will surely make you wish you were dead!"

Red Lotus Demoness drifted down from the entrance of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, her bright red robes particularly eye-catching. She held a long blade horizontally in her right hand, while her left sleeve hung empty.

"Monster! Defying the Heavenly Dao! How could we ever surrender!"

Taibai Jinxing flew forward. A black and white Taiji had already appeared beneath his feet, and Eight Trigrams incantations floated around his body.

"Hmph! A mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

Red Lotus Demoness sneered, her expression full of disdain.

As the words fell, the left eye of the Red Lotus Demoness flashed with a scorching red light, and a stream of bright red flame shot toward Taibai Jinxing.

Taibai Jinxing flickered, dodging instantly, then swept his horsetail whisk forward, sending a golden arc of light crashing toward the hall entrance.
