"I can promise you that as long as you kill Nezha, today's matter will definitely not spread. I will only announce to the outside world that Nezha betrayed the Celestial Court and was personally killed by me. What do you think?"
Ye Xuan whispered. His voice was like the language of the devil, causing Li Jing's expression to change. He took a deep look at Ye Xuan and said, "Ye Tiandi, I, Li Jing, am not a three-year-old child. Today, the immortals of the Celestial Court are beside me, and the 100,000 surrendered soldiers behind me are watching. If I really kill Nezha with my own hands, I'm afraid there will be no place for me in the Three Realms."
As Li Jing's words fell, Ye Xuan's eyes flashed with contempt. However, his voice was gentle as he said, "So you're afraid of too many people. Actually, this matter is very easy to handle. Just kill all 100,000 surrendered soldiers."
Rumble!
Suddenly, Ye Xuan's smile disappeared. The Immortal Light of the Great All-Embracing Heaven rippled out. A destructive aura shot out, instantly turning the 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers behind Li Jing into dust. The bloody mist that filled the sky floated down, causing the world to become deathly silent.
"Celestial Emperor, you …?"
Such a scene caused the expressions of the Golden Spirit Goddess, Shen Gongbao, and the others to change drastically. They never thought that Ye Xuan would actually kill 100,000 surrendered soldiers with a raise of his hand.
"Since these 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers dared to betray the Celestial Court with Li Jing and his son, then there's no need to keep them alive." Ye Xuan said ruthlessly as if he had done a very casual thing. He did not want to keep the lives of the 100,000 surrendered soldiers at all.
In Ye Xuan's rules, anyone who betrayed him would only end up dead. There had never been an exception to this.
"Li Jing, I am in charge of the 33rd Celestial Court. No one dares to go against my will. Today, you kill Nezha. From now on, you will still be the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King of the Celestial Court. Today's matter will definitely not spread."
"I'll only give you ten breaths' time. If you don't make a decision by then, you can just die here."
Ye Xuan smiled and slowly walked away from Li Jing. This also caused Li Jing to suddenly come to his senses. He looked at Ye Xuan with an extremely furious gaze.
"Ye Xuan, kill me if you want. Even if I, Li Jing, die here today, I will not compromise with you." Li Jing was filled with righteousness as he roared at Ye Xuan. He quickly walked in front of Nezha and helped his blood-soaked body up.
"Father!"
Nezha said weakly. His eyes were filled with gratitude because Li Jing did not disappoint him. No matter how tense the relationship between father and son was back then, they were still connected by blood. How could they kill each other?
"My child!"
A line of clear tears flowed out of Li Jing's eyes. He held Nezha's face with both hands, and his body trembled unconsciously.
"Father, I misunderstood you back then … you …"
Poof!
All of a sudden, Nezha's words came to an abrupt halt. His face turned pale and lifeless as he stared blankly at his benevolent father. However, there was a bright knife in his heart that was constantly stirring his heart.
"Nezha, don't hate me. I don't want to do this either. But if I don't kill you, I will still die. It's better to die alone than to die together, right?"
"Child, don't you think so?"
Li Jing muttered to himself. His kind face gradually disappeared. His face was ferocious and twisted. He held a sharp dagger and ruthlessly stirred Nezha's heart. A large amount of blood also dyed Nezha's chest red.
Such a scene caused the immortals of the Heavenly Court to fall silent. They looked at Li Jing in a daze. No one had expected that Li Jing, who had just generously sacrificed himself without fear of death, would actually do such a cruel thing.
"Why … why?"
Nezha's face was as pale as paper. Tears blurred his eyes. He never thought that Li Jing would be so heartless. In the face of Ye Xuan's death, he actually attacked him cruelly.
"Why?"
"The reason is very simple. It's because I can only live if you, my unfilial son, die!"
Pfft!
Li Jing roared ferociously. He ruthlessly pulled out the dagger that was stabbed into Nezha's heart. The miserable blood stained Li Jing's face, making him look ferocious and terrifying.
Poof!
The dagger pierced through Nezha's heart ruthlessly. Li Jing seemed to have fallen into madness. He had just pulled out the dagger in his hand when he ruthlessly stabbed it into Nezha's heart again. There was no trace of father-son love left.
"Nezha, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself. If you didn't encourage me to betray the Celestial Court, I wouldn't have suffered such a great calamity today."
The blade was merciless. A tiger eats its own child. Li Jing completely went crazy. The immortal power around him poured into the dagger and had already pierced dozens of big holes in Nezha's body. It also made Nezha's body tremble slightly. His pupils kept expanding, as if his life was coming to an end at this moment.
Bang!
Li Jing suddenly stood up and kicked Nezha's broken body away. Then, he quickly walked toward Ye Xuan. Without any hesitation, he directly knelt down at Ye Xuan's feet.
"Ye Tiandi, this unfilial son has been killed by the Old Minister himself. Celestial Emperor, please forgive the Old Minister's crime of betraying the Celestial Court." Li Jing knelt down and kowtowed. His posture was extremely humble.
"Haha!"
Ye Xuan smiled. He really smiled, but his smile was very strange and heartless. This was because when he looked at Li Jing, it was as if he was looking at his father when he was young. For the sake of his own selfish desires, he could even do something like a tiger eating its own child.
"Li Jing, I was right about you. You really are a wolf with wild ambitions. Unfortunately, you still have to die …!"
As Ye Xuan's words entered his ears, Li Jing's expression changed drastically. He suddenly looked up at Ye Xuan. What he saw was Ye Xuan's heartless eyes and indifferent expression.
Puff!
The Fire-tipped Spear pierced through Li Jing's heart. The blood-colored spear was slowly pulled out. A large amount of blood spurted out from Li Jing's heart. This also made him look back blankly.
Nezha was bathed in blood. Dozens of bloody holes appeared all over his body. He looked at Li Jing viciously and ruthlessly. The Fire-tipped Spear in his hand was ruthlessly stirring Li Jing's heart. A cruel and ferocious smile appeared at the corner of Nezha's mouth.
"No … Impossible … You … How are you still alive …?"
Blood kept flowing out of Li Jing's mouth. Blood spurted out from his heart. He stared at Nezha with horror in his eyes.
"Li Jing, although I admire your despicable and ruthless methods, you are too stupid. Have you forgotten that Nezha's body is made of lotus roots? His cultivation is all in the Primordial Spirit. As long as his Primordial Spirit is not destroyed, no matter how badly injured his body is, it can quickly heal."
Ye Xuan lightly smiled. It was also at this moment that Nezha's broken body was rapidly healing. How could there be any wounds on his body?
"Don't … Don't kill me … Don't kill me."
Li Jing was slowly retreating. However, his heart was crushed. The vitality around him kept dissipating. He looked at Nezha with extreme fear in his eyes.
