Reborn as a Snake: Forging a Demon Court Starting from a Black Python

Chapter 103 Give Me Back My Son's Life!

Upon hearing Li Jing's name, Nezha immediately changed his expression, his face contorted with anxiety as he glared down at Lin Xuan.

"What do you want with him? What does this have to do with that old geezer!"

"You... I forbid you to go see him!"

Lin Xuan still wore that helpless expression, and sighed:

"How can this have nothing to do with him? As the saying goes, if a son is not taught, it is the father's fault."

"He raised a son like you who doesn't keep his word, of course I'm going to have him settle this score with me."

When Nezha heard this, he was in a real predicament.

His relationship with Li Jing was very bad, but precisely because of this, he was even more unwilling to lose face in front of Li Jing.

If Li Jing knew that he was a person who went back on his word, the old man would probably seize on this as leverage and teach him a lesson.

Before today, this old man had always disliked me and was always looking for trouble.

If he gets hold of this topic, who knows how long he'll drag it out!

But he didn't have much to say! It was indeed a moment of carelessness on his part that allowed Lin Xuan to seize on his words!

Nezha became increasingly agitated as he thought about it, his expression constantly changing.

Lin Xuan also knew the importance of knowing when to stop, so he seized the opportunity to speak, albeit in a calm tone, but his speaking speed increased considerably, not wanting to really anger Nezha.

"However, if you, Nezha, are willing to become sworn brothers with me, then of course I will not go looking for Li Jing again."

"To be honest, I've heard of your great name, Nezha, for a long time. I would be very honored to be your sworn brother."

This flattery was very blatant. If it were any other seasoned veteran, they would probably just smile and not be moved.

However, despite his high level of magical power, Nezha was still quite young, and he was easily swayed by this.

He looked at Lin Xuan and asked seriously, "Have you really heard of me?"

Lin Xuan recalled the myths and legends about Nezha in his mind, and then nodded very sincerely: "Of course I've heard of them, and I really admire you."

Nezha carefully examined Lin Xuan's face, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't tell that Lin Xuan was lying.

He was silent for a while, then finally nodded: "Alright then, since you admire me so much, I'll do you a favor and become sworn brothers with you."

"But we agreed that I have to be the big brother!"

Nezha patted his little chest, making a gesture of taking on everything.

At that moment, he was actually somewhat tempted.

He was the third son in the Li family, with two older brothers. If he could recognize Lin Xuan as his younger brother, he would be able to turn his life around and become an older brother himself.

Nezha grew happier the more he thought about it, and said triumphantly:

"Lin Xuan, you've come to a great advantage by acknowledging me as your brother! If you ever get into trouble outside, I'll be there to clean up your mess!"

"Even if you like dragon meat, I can catch a few for you!"

Nezha wasn't joking. Lin Xuan knew that as long as he recognized Nezha as his sworn brother, he could really complete the mission very easily.

However, he did not nod; instead, he said:

"That's not right. I'm older than you, how can I be your younger brother?"

"If we become sworn brothers, then I must become your elder brother! If you don't agree, I'll go to your father."

This trick worked very well. Nezha was extremely unwilling, but when he saw Lin Xuanzhen making a move to leave, he still reached out and grabbed him.

"Alright, alright! I'll be the younger brother then! Humph, I don't need another older brother like you!"

Nezha, reluctantly, pouted his little lips, cupped his hands towards the sky, and said:

"I, Nezha, today become sworn brothers with Lin Xuan, this black dragon. Heaven above, he will be the elder brother, and I will be the younger brother. You are my witness."

Nezha never swore brotherhood with anyone, so his words were completely nonsensical.

However, the system approved it.

No sooner had Nezha finished speaking than Lin Xuan offered a hint.

【Ding! 】

[Nezha has extended an invitation to you to become sworn brothers. Will you accept?]

[Note: After becoming sworn brothers, your relationship will be permanently set to 100. You can send each other invitations to ask for help, and these invitations will not be restricted by instance limitations.]

[Current sworn brotherhood slots: 0/1]

Lin Xuan, of course, would not refuse and immediately nodded.

Without Lin Xuan saying anything, the system immediately confirmed that a mysterious force descended from the sky.

A new tip followed.

Congratulations on becoming sworn brothers with Nezha!

[Nezha is a mythological figure who possesses inherent luck and may pull you into certain special instances. Please proceed with caution.]

Lin Xuan was not surprised; he understood the meaning of these hints.

From now on, as long as Nezha participates in a dungeon, he can join directly even if he doesn't receive the token to join.

However, this is not necessarily a good thing. In the game "Myth", the Investiture of the Gods storyline is almost the most powerful late-game dungeon.

Countless top players have failed here and lost many levels.

Given Lin Xuan's current small stature, rashly getting involved would be suicide.

Even the slightest connection can lead to enormous trouble.

Of course, Lin Xuan could also refuse.

Nezha is both righteous and wicked; he is not a purely good person, but he is not a heartless villain either.

Nezha had witnessed Lin Xuan's strength, and even if Lin Xuan did not respond to the call, Nezha would not hold a grudge, nor would their relationship deteriorate.

Nezha also sensed something, grunted a few times, stood up, and said to Lin Xuan:

"Alright, from now on you're my sworn brother. If anyone dares to mess with you again, just mention my name!"

"If they still won't leave, then I'll come and help you!"

As he spoke, Nezha waved his little fists, a seemingly comical gesture, but Lin Xuan knew it was no joke.

A level 100 Nezha is incredibly powerful, practically invincible in the human world.

Remembering something, Lin Xuan plucked a black scale from his body, imprinted his aura on it, and then handed it to Nezha.

"Nezha, if you ever encounter any trouble in the future, you can also mention my name."

This is a technique that Lin Xuan learned from Bai Suzhen.

Nezha took the scale, weighed it in his hand for a few moments, and then pouted, saying, "I have no use for this thing."

"If I really run into someone I can't beat, calling you over would just be sending you to your death!"

Although he said that, his actions were very honest; he carefully put the scale into his pocket.

Lin Xuan smiled upon seeing this, and was about to say something more when he suddenly heard a roar from afar.

"Who is this bastard who dares to injure my crown prince?"

"Give me back my son's life!"

Lin Xuan and Nezha turned around together and immediately saw a large black cloud rushing in from a distance.

Lin Xuan looked closely and realized that it was not a dark cloud, but an army of fish, turtles, shrimp and crabs.

It's just that the distance was too far and the shrimp and crabs were too small, which is why they were mistaken.

Beneath these fish, turtles, shrimp, and crabs, there was a gigantic old dragon with a beard several feet long.

Old Dragon was very fast, his beard whipping behind him as he drifted with the current.

Lin Xuan recognized at a glance that this old dragon must be Ao Ming's father.

But he found it laughable.

"This old dragon king is truly outrageous. Although he brought out a large number of shrimp soldiers and crab generals—more than the Jinghai Dragon King's subordinates—their combat strength is far too weak."

Looking around, I saw quite a few level 7 or 8 monsters mixed in; they were just filling in the ranks.

This wasn't Lin Xuan making sarcastic remarks.

Regardless, the old Dragon King was a powerful figure in the Dragon Palace. He went to war with resentment, and his subordinates were of mixed quality, which shows that he really had no foundation.

But that's understandable, since a mere sea-patrolling yaksha lured out its third prince.

Perhaps it's because the old Dragon King really didn't have any powerful subordinates; even a Yaksha was considered a very important subordinate?

Lin Xuan remained completely calm, let alone his newly sworn brother Nezha.

Even if he were alone here, the rabble that the old Dragon King brought would be no match for him.

Lin Xuan was itching to fight. Since transmigrating, he had only fought tough battles and hadn't really had any easy wins.

But before Lin Xuan could make a move, Nezha stepped forward.

"Lin Xuan, step back first, let me deal with these guys."

Nezha's eyes gleamed, and he rubbed his little hands together as the Universe Ring and the Hun Tian Ling flew over and landed in his hands.

It turns out that Nezha hadn't had enough of fighting either.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan had no choice but to silently take two steps back and stop trying to steal the monster from Nezha.

Nezha was very satisfied. He flicked the Hun Tian Ling and poured his magic power into it. Almost the next moment, the Hun Tian Ling grew bigger and taller, increasing in size by tens of thousands of times.

It traversed an extremely long distance and rushed to the old Dragon King.

The old Dragon King's eyes widened suddenly, almost popping out of their sockets. He never expected that Nezha could possess such supernatural powers.

He opened his mouth to say something, but Nezha didn't give him the chance. He flipped his hand, and the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) spun along with him.

In Nezha's hands, the Hun Tian Ling only flipped once, but in the old Dragon King's hands, the Hun Tian Ling was like a roller, turning thousands of times in an instant.

The surrounding seawater was churned up with such force that several layers of the seabed were scraped away.

Countless grains of sand and gravel were swept up and hit the fish, turtles, shrimp, and crabs.

"Aaaaaah!"

Cries and wails immediately rang out.

Lin Xuan stood behind Nezha, watching countless notifications float above Nezha's head.

With a single strike, Nezha killed tens of thousands of enemies.

In other words, his level was too high, while the enemy's level was too low.

Experience decays, and the experience bar remains unchanged.

If Lin Xuan were to make the move, he would probably be able to advance another level.

The old Dragon King was also severely injured, his body was forced back, and his heart was bleeding.

He suffered a great loss today, not only losing a key general but also his son.

Unable to swallow his anger, he mobilized all his forces again, determined to get revenge.

As a result, they were even more unlucky and encountered Nezha, a killer, and almost all of their subordinates were killed.

"Where did these two come from?!" The old Dragon King gritted his teeth, wanting to curse, but not knowing who to curse.

Finally, she could only angrily declare, "I'm going to find the Dragon King of the East Sea right now and demand justice for me!"

But at that moment, someone supported the old dragon king's body from behind.

It was a pair of human hands, not large in size, but containing extremely powerful magic.

The magic was gentle, dissolving all force, and gently placed the old dragon king's body on the seabed.

The old Dragon King turned around in confusion, and upon seeing the man's face, he exclaimed with delight, "Third Prince, what brings you here?"

The person who arrived was none other than Ao Bing.

Ao Bing sighed, his face full of regret: "I did come, but I'm late."

"Sigh, it must have been tough for you to face Lin Xuan directly."
