It had been many days since King Wu had become a general and the Zhou Army had vowed to attack the East.
Yang Jian had set up three armies. The northern army advanced the most smoothly. Li Jing and his son had won consecutive battles, and the generals in the army had contributed the most.
The Eastern Army broke through the Azure Dragon Pass and the Si River Pass, but they encountered the stubborn resistance of the Shang army at the Golden Chicken Ridge. The general of the Shang army, the mighty figure of the phoenix race, Kong Xuan, fought with the Prime Minister of the Zhou Nation, Yang Jian for nearly three months without any outcome. The army could not advance at all.
In the southeast, Lei Zhenzi, Deng Jiugong, and Deng Chanyu led the army, but they still could not take down Jiameng Pass, which was protected by the array formation.
Fortunately, Nezha led the army to cut off the Shang army's food route from behind. The rations that were originally stored at Jiameng Pass were transferred to the front line of the five passes. There were not many rations stored there to begin with. Hundreds of thousands of troops consumed them every day. The rations in the city had been running out for more than half a month.
Nezha and Lei Zhenzi were eyeing Jiameng Pass covetously. The cultivators in the pass wanted to go out to get some rations, but they had no way out. The citizens and soldiers in the city became more and more uneasy.
Seeing that the city was about to be destroyed, Nezha and Lei Zhenzi used their spiritual senses to wrap around Jiameng Pass day and night. This was a rather taxing task. Fortunately, the two of them could still communicate with their spiritual senses, so they did not feel too tired.
"How many times has Eldest Senior Brother fought with Kong Xuan?"
Nezha asked with a hint of depression.
"I heard that there have been seven times." Lei Zhenzi smiled and sighed. "Eldest Senior Brother is even stronger than the elders in the sect. He has only cultivated for a short period of time … He really has a bad heart."
"I've cultivated for one to two thousand years longer than Eldest Senior Brother. I can't even defeat one of his fingers now." Nezha smacked his lips and recalled that when he was still Ling Zhuzi, he had once discussed swords with Yang Jian on the Qianyuan Mountain.
Nezha smiled and said, "I also won half a move against him. He called me Senior Brother for a period of time."
Lei Zhenzi was surprised. His spiritual senses did not relax. He still enveloped the surroundings of Jiameng Pass and asked Nezha about what had happened back then.
Of course, Nezha couldn't keep his mouth shut. He described the fight between him and Yang Jian in detail, and he described it vividly.
Lei Zhenzi praised, "So Eldest Senior Martial Brother also cultivated step by step."
"Otherwise, what do you think?" Nezha did not know whether to laugh or cry. "I heard Master talk about Eldest Senior Brother's cultivation method. It's so painful. I only heard Master mention it a few times, and I know that I can't bear it."
Although Lei Zhenzi had a calm personality, he was still 'young' after all. His curiosity was immediately piqued by Nezha.
"What kind of pain?"
"According to Master, in order to make his Profound Body unbreakable, Eldest Senior Brother once entered the Great Cold Crack in the Primal Chaos and used the Profound Nether Ice and the Spirit Slaying Divine Flame to temper his body!"
Lei Zhenzi was shocked.
Nezha continued to speak with his divine sense as if it was a serious matter. "Eldest Senior Brother once bathed in the blood of hundreds of prehistoric beasts for forty-nine years in order to make himself strong enough to break mountains and rivers. He also consumed over a thousand inner cores of the strongest and most bitter beasts in the world."
Lei Zhenzi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and rubbed his forehead.
Nezha said, "Also, Eldest Senior Brother …"
Nezha seriously mentioned more than ten "sufferings" that Yang Jian had experienced, causing Lei Zhenzi's mouth to twitch. In the end, he wanted to foam at his mouth and pretend to be unconscious to escape this terrifying reality.
Nezha talked until his mouth was dry. Only then did he sigh deeply, "Eldest Senior Brother, it's really not easy."
Lei Zhenzi silently agreed. "Yes, it's not easy …"
"We can't help Eldest Senior Brother with anything. We can only perk up here and overcome the Beautiful Dream Barrier as soon as possible!"
Lei Zhenzi said, "Senior Brother Nezha, do you have any countermeasures?"
"Didn't General Deng say that we should be patient?" Nezha smacked his lips and muttered, "I can be patient. However, if we break through the Beautiful Dream Barrier as soon as possible, we can send troops to threaten Chaoge City. We can also share some of the pressure for Senior Brother."
"That's right." Lei Zhenzi sighed and said, "However, the immortals of Jie School who set up this array formation are quite powerful. Even if there's no food in the city and we have to go out to fight, we should be careful."
Nezha's eyes lit up. He said in a low voice, "Junior Brother Lei Zhenzi, why don't we provoke them!"
"How should we do it? Senior Brother, please teach me. "
"Just like me, use your Dharma powers to shout below. Ahem." Nezha carried the Fire-tipped Spear and puffed out his chest. With a righteous expression, he shouted loudly, "No matter who jumps out of the array formation of the Beautiful Dream Barrier today, I will definitely make him unable to return! That way, I can … "
"Hmph! You're not very capable, but you're quite arrogant! "
A cold female voice sounded from the Beautiful Dream Pass. Nezha could not help but be stunned and look down in shock.
The array formation of Beautiful Dream Pass was slowly dissipating!
Five kilometers outside the pass, the drums of assembly sounded in the Zhou Army's formation. Deng Chanyu, who had been paying attention to Beautiful Dream Pass, immediately ordered the entire army to attack and attack the city!
The commander-in-chief of the army, Deng Chanyu's father, Deng Jiugong, rushed out of the main tent in his armor. He stroked his beard and laughed. "This array formation will be broken without attacking!"
"Father, the battle is about to begin."
"It's good to have a battle. It's much better than the two of us at the city without any battle merits!" Deng Jiugong donned his battle armor and leaped onto the horse's back as if he was flying. He laughed and said, "My son is wise and resourceful. I'll leave it to you to help. I'm going to lead an army and personally break through this pass!"
"Yes!" Deng Chanyu agreed in a heroic manner. At the same time, she sent a voice transmission.
"General Nezha and Lei Zhenzi, please quickly investigate the situation inside the pass!"
Just as Deng Chanyu finished speaking, a beautiful figure jumped up from the city wall of Beautiful Dream Pass. She was dressed in a flaming feather robe, as if she was also burning.
The female cultivator held a palm-leaf fan in her hand and wore a golden feather crown on her head. She had a pretty face, but her figure was sexy, which was rare among female immortals.
She flew into the sky and shouted softly. Without saying a word, she attacked Nezha and Lei Zhenzi. She raised her hand and scattered Skyfire light. The raging fire condensed into hundreds of weapons and shot at the two of them.
Nezha and Lei Zhenzi were no longer as "ignorant" as when they had just left the mountain. The continuous killing had allowed them to have their own ways of fighting.
Lei Zhenzi spread his Tempest Wings and flew into the sky. The Wind-Fire Wheels under Nezha's feet suddenly sped up and faced the flames that the female cultivator had scattered.
"Let me do it!"
Nezha shouted softly. Lei Zhenzi, who had just grabbed the golden rod, shook his head helplessly. He watched Nezha's figure enter the flames from the sky and silently attracted the power of lightning to inject into his body.
In the Zhou Army's camp, Deng Chanyu was slightly worried when she saw Nezha fighting head-on.
Nezha moved freely in the Skyfire flames. He activated the Nine Dragons Fire Shield to protect his head and turned the Fire-tipped Spear slightly. Half of the flames were absorbed by the Fire-tipped Spear.
In the blink of an eye, Nezha rushed towards the female cultivator. The latter snorted coldly and dozens of talismans condensed from flames appeared around her. She pointed at Nezha.
Screech …
Fire phoenixes emerged from the talismans and spread their wings towards Nezha.
Nezha had the Nine Dragons Fire Shield to protect him. He only chuckled and did not stop her at all. He only focused on attacking.
Indeed, the fire birds were blocked by the Nine Dragons Fire Shield and could not harm Nezha at all.
The Nine Dragons Fire Shield could be used for both offense and defense. It was considered a top-grade numinous treasure. If not for Nezha's coquettish temper, Perfected Taiyi would not bear to let his disciple suffer such a "disaster".
"Damn it!"
The female cultivator was furious. She pulled out a short sword from her sleeve. Her feather robe flashed and she retreated rapidly. As she retreated, she threw mystical abilities and Dharma spells at Nezha.
With the help of the Nine Dragons Fire Shield, Nezha more or less found the feeling of Yang Jian charging forward. He was extremely happy. He raised his head and roared. He activated the Universe Ring and the Heavenly Silk at the same time!
With the two numinous treasures, the female cultivator was immediately beaten into a sorry state. If not for the feather robe on her body constantly flickering with treasure light, she would have been caught by the Heavenly Silk.
"Do you think you're the only one with treasures!?!"
There was a hint of anger in the female cultivator's eyes. If she had not been bullied by Nezha, she would not have wanted to use treasures to suppress him.
Her master said that treasures were only an obstacle to cultivation …
The female cultivator's fair hands quickly formed a seal, and waves of essence energy surged around her. Her fiery red long hair danced in the wind, and her slender neck was fair and slightly transparent.
She was indescribably beautiful.
"Heaven, Earth, Treasure!"
As soon as she said those four words, hundreds of whirlpools appeared behind her, forming a light wall above Jiameng Pass!
Treasure light surged in the whirlpools, and all kinds of treasures flew out slowly. Although most of them were celestial treasures, there were dozens of acquired numinous treasures and more than ten innate numinous treasures!
These numinous treasures seemed to be arranged according to some kind of complicated formation. As the treasure light guided them, a magnificent power was condensed!
Nezha stepped on the Firestorm Wheels and stopped abruptly. He stared at the female cultivator who was 1,000 feet away and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He would fight with anyone who said that they had more treasures!
In the sky, Lei Zhenzi shouted angrily, "Senior Brother, retreat!"
At that moment, the treasure light condensed into beams of light, and these beams of light condensed into a colorful light ball between the female cultivator's hands.
"Die!"
The female cultivator squinted her eyes and pressed her hands down. Dozens of colorful Sword Light shot at Nezha!
Nezha could not dodge it in time. He immediately activated the Nine Dragons Fire Shield, but he regretted it the next moment …
As the rain of light attacked, the Nine Dragons Fire Shield shook, and the treasure light on it was weakened layer by layer!
Nezha could feel the Nine Dragons Fire Shield's painful growl. He didn't care too much and put away the Nine Dragons Fire Shield, only using the Red Armillary Sash to cover his body.
Nezha, who had just been swallowed by the fire, was drowned by the rain of light again!
When the light dissipated, Nezha's body was swaying, and he barely stopped in the air. He was in a sorry state. The Fire-tipped Spear was full of burn marks, and the Red Armillary Sash was no longer fluttering. It was only on Nezha's shoulder and arm. The Firestorm Wheels turned from a foot of fire to half an inch of fire …
His treasures were damaged, and he couldn't fight anymore.
"Humph!"
The female cultivator didn't want to let Nezha go. The hundreds of dharma treasures behind her didn't disappear, and more treasure light began to condense.
Crack!
A thunder dragon struck down from the sky with a fierce momentum. The female cultivator was caught off guard and barely dodged it. The hundreds of dharma treasures turned into streams of light and disappeared into the female cultivator's body.
Lei Zhenzi attacked repeatedly. Bolts of lightning slashed down, and lightning dragons raged, suppressing the female cultivator, not giving her a chance to summon the hundreds of dharma treasures.
"Who are you!?!" Nezha gritted his teeth and shouted. He endured the pain all over his body and grabbed the Fire-tipped Spear and charged forward again.
The female cultivator fought and retreated. She could not withstand the attacks of the two brothers. When she heard Nezha's question, she smiled coldly.
"I'm a disciple of the Green Touring Palace. My master is the Heavenly Lord of Duobao, the first disciple of Jie School. My Dao name is Fire Spirit!"
"Duobao!"
When Nezha heard that name, he immediately lost his temper. The anger caused by the damage to his treasures inexplicably dissipated.
So she's Daoist Duobao's disciple. No wonder she has so many treasures …
When Lei Zhenzi heard that, his eyes revealed a little hesitation. The lightning stopped for a moment. The Goddess of Fire Spirit took the opportunity. The golden crown on her head flashed gently, and her figure strangely disappeared from the spot.
There were no fluctuations in the universe. The Goddess of Fire Spirit seemed to have not existed before and disappeared without a trace.
"Where did she go!?!"
"Senior Brother Nezha, let's return to the camp to discuss!"
Lei Zhenzi called out. Although Nezha was a little unwilling, he could only put away his spear and return to the camp.
