Li Jing, upon hearing that the visitor was Rendeng, hurriedly bowed and said, "Li Jing's understanding is shallow, and I do not recognize the true immortal. I did not know that the head of the Xuanjiao came. Forgive me, forgive me."
Rendeng stood up straight, with his palm indicating that he did not hold grudges against the unknowing. At that moment, he appeared as a benevolent and wise elder, pointing to the marshland: "I seem to have some connection with General here, and I cannot bear to see you throw away your chance at immortality. Therefore, I am warning you. General, you must carefully consider it. I will now bid you farewell."
Rendeng was resolute. He tied up a series of causes and effects, then patted the Chinese Looks and flew away directly.
Li Jing: ""
The deputy head of Xuanjiao should not deceive himself. After some consideration, he pinched a waterproof formula and rushed into the deepest part of the swamp, where the metal element was most concentrated.
The swamp was filled with mud, roots, and decaying leaves. Li Jing descended further, and along the way, he could still see the bones of humans and animals. He gradually reduced his speed, being cautious and vigilant, moving downward bit by bit.
"Ugly monkey, die!" Ne Zha's shout was very imposing, but unfortunately, as he thrust his spear into the rock at the bottom of the river, his arm forcefully pulled out the Fire Dragon Spear and tightly held it in his hand. His eyes were filled with a fierce killing intent. He twisted his waist and swung his arms towards Wu Zhiqi's chest, intending to strike again.
Wu Zhiqi's reaction was very agile, his body curled into a ball, cleverly rolling over to dodge Ne Zha's attack. His steps were bizarre, following a certain special rhythm, and his body rotated at high speed like a top. The nails of his ten fingers were raised, resembling ten sharp knives, cutting towards Ne Zha's throat.
Ne Zha first raised his spear to block, then brought the sharp end of the long spear down hard on the back of Wu Zhiqi's right hand. Following that, he twisted it slightly, and the sharp teeth of the dragon spear left a deep bloodstain on Wu Zhiqi's skin, which was as tough as refined steel.
He held the spear in one hand, pushing Wu Zhiqi to the side, and with his left hand, a gold brick appeared in his palm. He slapped it down on Wu Zhiqi's back.
"A bang" a curtain of water appeared out of nowhere, reducing the force of the gold brick. Wu Zhiqi bent down and hit Ne Zha in the stomach with a headbutt.
With his copper head and iron bones, Wu Zhiqi moved so swiftly that Ne Zha didn't even have a chance to use the Eight Trigrams of the Supreme Art to defend himself. He was hit solidly and immediately felt as if his intestines had been shattered.
"Damn, you've angered my junior!"
Ne Zha summoned the Hùtiānyán, which Wu Zhiqi had seen before when Ne Zha had caused havoc in the river. He didn't take it too seriously at first. It was just a talisman that controlled wind and rain.
However, when the Hùtiānyán bound his left foot and tried to hang him upside down, he finally realized something was wrong.
This thing is more durable than expected and very stubborn.
Ne Zha stepped back two steps, took out the Qiankun Bow and the Zhen Tian arrow, nocked an arrow onto the bow, and aimed at Wu Zhiqi who had one foot bound by the Hùtiānyán.
A fierce killing intent emanated from the Zhen Tian arrow, causing Wu Zhiqi to feel a wordless fear. This emotion had been long since unfamiliar to him.
Wu Zhiqi knew he had to get rid of the Hùtiānyán as soon as possible and then defeat Ne Zha, otherwise he would surely die today.
Using all his limbs, and even his teeth in the end, Wu Zhiqi managed to tear a gap in the tight embrace of the Hùtiānyán, creating an opening of an arm's length.
However, Ne Zha was still young and didn't have the ability to control multiple talismans at once. He was juggling the Hùtiānyán while aiming and shooting arrows, which put immense pressure on him. His forehead was drenched in sweat. Since both sides couldn't relax, he had no choice but to force himself to persevere.
"Go!" As Da Sijie on the shore watched his eldest nephew become somewhat embarrassed, he immediately unleashed six paper figures.
Wu Zhiqi continuously pulled and tugged, using his hands and feet, managing to slightly break free from the control of the Hùtiānyán.
Da Sijie noticed the turning point of the battle. With her jade-like fingers, she pointed towards Wu Zhiqi's direction.
Paper figures with the strength of celestial soldiers grabbed Wu Zhiqi from the side. The paper figures cackled sinisterly, and then sparks flew out as six of them unleashed the scorching sun fire sealed by Deng ChanYu. Wu Zhiqi's limbs were instantly burned, with his right palm suffering a large hole from the flames.
At this time, Ne Zha strengthened the control of the Hùtiānyán once again.
Da Sijie utilized her "listen to heart" ability.
"It will use its left arm to tear apart the Hùtiānyán."
Ne Zha immediately bound Wu Zhiqi's left arm with the Hùtiānyán.
"It's preparing to bite."
Ne Zha looked disdainful, shouted curses, and from a distance, he controlled the golden brick to smash it against Wu Zhiqi's forehead.
"It's going to leap!"
Just as Wu Zhiqi had started to leap, Ne Zha, who had built up a great amount of power, aimed and fired his first Zhen Tian arrow at the water monkey leaping high in the air.
"A piercing sound" resounded, even though Wu Zhiqi's body was as tough as refined steel, it was pierced by Ne Zha's arrow.
"It's running, to the left!"
Ne Zha notched a second arrow and this shot pierced through Wu Zhiqi's lower abdomen.
The water monkey looked menacingly at Daji. It was this woman who had repeatedly exposed his movements; he had to tear her apart!
Using all his limbs, even with the two arrows sticking out of his body, the water monkey continued to charge ferociously towards Daji.
This time, without the "listen to heart" ability, Ne Zha also knew what position to attack. He was preparing to shoot his third arrow!
The third arrow was not shot, for a golden, glittering pagoda descended from the heavens and pressed Wu Zhiqi down firmly on the riverbank, a hundred steps away from Daji.
"Zhu Yu's pagoda? Where did you find it?" Wu Zhiqi's expression was hideous. His gaze towards Li Jing was like that of someone seeking revenge for his father's death.
Li Jing had a rare moment of triumph, finding this somewhat dilapidated pagoda deep in the swamp and rushing back in a hurry. He fervently summoned the magical artifact known as the Thirty-Three Heavenly Golden Elaborately Carved Pagoda.
This pagoda was originally used by Yu the Great to subdue Wu Zhiqi. Now, flames were constantly surging from within the pagoda, and the tower itself became incredibly heavy, pressing down on the water monkey bit by bit.
Wu Zhiqi held on to the edge of the pagoda with both arms, both feet deeply embedded in the ground, and every bone in his body cracked as if he had used all his strength.
"Ha ha ha——ugly monkey, take another arrow from your junior!"
Ne Zha from the original time-space always fought with a group of Chuanjiao disciples, attacking this and that, never thinking about fighting one-on-one. Now, as Wu Zhiqi was pressed motionless to the ground by his own father's pagoda, such a big target was standing there. If he didn't shoot an arrow, he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
Wu Zhiqi stood motionless, unable to dodge. Suddenly, Zhen Tian arrow transformed into a streak of light, piercing into his head from the right temple and exiting from the left side.
Wu Zhiqi's eyes still shone with malicious light. Its neck remained stiff as it stared in the direction of Ne Zha, filled with hatred.
Humanity is really not playing by the rules. You people surrounded me with so many of you, and used so many of your talismans?! Do you have any shame?
This gaze was the last one, as Zhen Tian arrow shattered its brain and spirit. The body, deprived of vitality, could no longer withstand the heavy pressure of the Thirty-Three Heavenly Golden Elaborately Carved Pagoda.
Li Jing used the remaining spiritual power within his body to control the Thirty-Three Heavenly Golden Elaborately Carved Pagoda, and as the tower fell with a thunderous roar, countless flames were ignited within it, quickly reducing Wu Zhiqi's body to ashes.
He waited for three quarters of an hour before retrieving the pagoda and leaving behind the ashes of the few bones on the spot. These ashes were blown away by the wind and left no trace behind.
