CHAPTER 36: CHAPTER 36 IT’S ALL MINE!

Although at the critical moment, Nezha mobilized the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to protect his vital points, his internal organs were still shaken into a knot, and the area between his chest and abdomen felt extremely uncomfortable and suffocating, as if torrents of blood were gathering there.

Nezha fell into the water again, his vision blurred, and blood flowed out from his mouth and nose, dispersing into the chilling waves.

Beside his ears was the sound of flowing water, faintly mixed with laughter, but ultimately it all merged into a slash of silver light coming towards him.

Ao Bing’s Dividing Water Divine Shuttle is not omnipotent, it cannot utilize Daoist Divine Abilities during operation, and he cannot use various exquisite martial arts when fighting others, but if used in large bodies of water like seas or lakes, infusing a little bit of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi can achieve unimaginable speed, making it an excellent Magic Treasure for escape.

However, sometimes, speed itself signifies power.

This sword strike, delivered with the incredible speed of the Dividing Water Divine Shuttle by Ao Bing, was unstoppable like cavalry charging into battle.

In the water, Nezha was slashed away by this strike, adding injury upon injury.

However, other than slightly frowning from the intense pain, his expression on his face remained unchanged.

This sword strike was blocked by his Seven-star Treasure Sword. If Ao Bing were foolish enough to use the same move a second time, Nezha’s already prepared Treasure Falling Skill and spell would surely make the opponent pay.

Nezha squinted slightly, looking at the Seven-star Treasure Sword in his hand and said, "Truly a fine sword."

Indeed, it was a fine sword; otherwise, it could not have blocked Ao Bing’s astonishing strike and would have shattered into countless fragments in an instant.

What was really tricky was that invisible attack earlier.

Nezha looked up slightly, his gaze piercing through the ice, looking towards the shore at the two Crab Generals, his eyes chilling, and once again launched his Qiankun Ring.

Ao Bing, about to make another move, immediately stopped and changed his approach upon seeing Nezha’s Qiankun Ring in action, only to see that the ring did not target him but instead cracked open the increasingly thick ice and shot towards the valley.

Stunned, Ao Bing quickly realized what Nezha was intending to do, and immediately, furious, he shouted, "You thief! Daring to be distracted while fighting me! You’re courting death!"

"Nothing but a stinking loach, what should I fear? If you dare, follow me to the shore and fight!"

Nezha followed the opening made by the Qiankun Ring back to shore, and saw one of the Crab Generals, already having its skull shattered by the Qiankun Ring, while the other, disregarding the Third Prince’s prohibition, charged at Nezha.

Nezha had anticipated this scene; at that moment, the Qiankun Ring drew a circle in the air and flew back, striking the back of this general and shattering his full iron armor!

Below him, Ao Bing, unwilling to admit defeat, transformed into his true form, a Green Gold True Dragon more than thirty feet long, with gnashing teeth and flailing claws, fiercely pouncing.

Nezha leaped into the air, not alarmed but delighted, unfurled the Seven-foot Chaos Silk Sky in the air, and wrapped it down like thousands of fire clusters, covering the sky and leaving no room to escape, directly tying Ao Bing into a twist.

On the other side, Ao Bing, disheartened, transformed back into human form and curled up, but Nezha had already calculated this move; the Chaos Sky Silk wrapped around again, still binding him, and threw him onto the ice.

Seeing Ao Bing struggling, Nezha quickly rushed over, stepped on Ao Bing’s neck, grabbed the returning Qiankun Ring with his right hand, and aimed it at Ao Bing’s forehead to strike down.

This scene terrified Ao Bing underground, his liver trembling, he closed his eyes tightly.

From the earlier exchange, he knew well how powerful Nezha’s Qiankun Ring was.

Both generals, who were masters of the God Absorption Realm, were killed in one strike by this Qiankun Ring; now with both his hands and feet bound, how could he resist?

Ao Bing regretted, why had he come now to show off this power.

Had he waited until his cultivation in the Loose Immortal Realm was stable, and mastered some Daoist Divine Abilities related to the Primordial Spirit, wouldn’t capturing Nezha today be as easy as reaching out his hand?

After closing his eyes and waiting for death for a long time, he still didn’t see the Ghost Messenger from the underworld coming to fetch his soul, so he slowly opened his eyes again. There he saw Nezha holding one corner of the Chaos Sky Silk, sitting on the protruding corner of the ice layer’s huge rock, smilingly watching him.

Nezha smiled, then started coughing, and blood began to trickle from the corners of his mouth. Yet, he couldn’t help laughing, resulting in coughing up blood all over the ground, which terrified Ao Bing tremendously.

Nezha wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and said softly, "Cough cough, seeing your overbearing attitude at the beginning, I thought you would carry your pride all the way to the underworld. I didn’t expect you to be afraid of death."

Upon hearing this, Ao Bing clenched his teeth, wanting to stand firm. But, thinking of his century-long cultivation and promising future, fear surged inside him once again.

He was an ambitious dragon.

He didn’t want to die this early.

But if it meant lowering his head.

Ao Bing’s dignity and fear of death were clashing fiercely. Seeing that he remained silent, Nezha’s gaze grew more mocking, and he slowly said, "Whether you believe it or not, it might be this damn destiny, or that there are some people in this world who would really like to see me kill you."

"Ha, you really think you’re more capable than me? You can only win against me because you rely on those two Chan Sect treasures. Have the guts to not use magic treasures, and let’s fight another three hundred rounds!"

Ao Bing glared at Nezha, but from Nezha’s eyes, he saw a look he had never seen in anyone else’s eyes before.

It was a look that one gives a fool.

He was the Dragon Palace Third Prince, with exceptional talent, status, and lineage. In the past hundred years, everyone Ao Bing met never dared to treat him as a fool.

But now, he had to admit, he indeed just said some incredibly foolish things.

Victory belongs to the king, and defeat to the foe, there’s no redoing it.

Nezha continued, "I admit, if I didn’t have these two magic treasures, I probably couldn’t beat you, but winning is winning."

Ao Bing collapsed.

Winning is winning.

This phrase was all too familiar. Over the past hundred years, every time he had a breakthrough or his power greatly increased, he would go and challenge his sister in the Dragon Palace.

After failing humiliatingly each time, the sentence he heard most from her was also this one.

He clenched his teeth and said, "What do you want?"

Nezha replied, "I don’t want much; I was supposed to kill you here, take your Dragon Tendon back, and joyfully and foolishly offer it to my stupid and absurd father to show my filial piety. But someone wants me to do this, though I’m unclear about who these people trying to pull the strings are, but I just won’t let them have their way."

Ao Bing said, "You... what nonsense are you speaking?"

Nezha smirked and said, "What, you don’t understand? In short, if others are unhappy, I am very pleased, ha ha ha, cough cough."

Ao Bing grew increasingly fearful, not only because of the imminent death before him, but also because he felt that this Nezha in front of him seemed somewhat mentally unstable.

"Don’t move."

Nezha suddenly jumped down from the rock, stepped on Ao Bing’s back, and started rummaging through Ao Bing’s body.

"Damn it! What are you doing? A man can be killed, but not humiliated!"

"Less nonsense, young master here sees you have quite some treasures on you. If you want to live, hand them all over!"
