Chapter 107 The Way an Older Brother Acts
Lin Xuan's words were abrupt. Nezha was stunned for a moment, and then he was bitten by Ao Bing before he suddenly realized what was happening.
"Lin Xuan, that won't do! If I get off his back, wouldn't that mean I'm afraid of him?"
"Besides, I haven't even peeled off his dragon skin or pulled out his dragon tendons yet. What if he runs away in a flash if I just get off the vehicle like this?"
Nezha was surprisingly optimistic, completely unconcerned about his wounds, and had already started thinking about what would happen after he won the fight.
Ao Bing couldn't help but sneer, "Kid, you've got a pretty good idea!"
"However, if you want to pull out my dragon tendons and peel off my dragon skin, you should first take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror!"
"You little brat, you think you can kill me? Cultivate for thousands of years first!"
His battle with Nezha involved not only magical duels but also verbal sparring.
After dozens of rounds, Ao Bing will also get sick, his mouth will become increasingly dirty.
For some reason, Ao Bing was greatly influenced whenever he was with Nezha.
Nezha was furious upon hearing this. Who did this guy think he was? What did he mean by "cultivating for thousands of years before talking"?
He was so angry that he bared his teeth and brandished his claws.
The two engaged in another fierce battle, leaving the audience breathless.
Lin Xuan did not interrupt immediately this time.
Talking now will only distract Nezha; let's talk about it later.
The old Dragon King was both surprised and delighted to find that Lin Xuan was no longer chasing him. He wanted to stay where he was, but he didn't dare to.
He couldn't be sure that Lin Xuan wouldn't go crazy again. If he stayed here, would he have any chance of survival if Lin Xuan came chasing after him again?
The old Dragon King pondered for a while, gritted his teeth, and did not disturb anyone, not even the fish, turtles, shrimps, and crabs under his command.
The old Dragon King quietly retreated into the distance, and upon returning to the Dragon Palace, immediately activated the great formation.
But after doing all this, he felt it wasn't safe, so he opened his mouth wide and swallowed all the treasures in the Dragon Palace.
Only some tables and chairs remained in the main hall.
If Ao Bing displays his might, kicking Nezha and grabbing Lin Xuan, these things can be used to entertain him.
The old Dragon King, carrying a bellyful of treasures, retreated outside the Dragon Palace, hiding in the shadows, and began to quietly await the outcome of the battle in the distance.
Lin Xuan watched quietly as Ao Bing and Nezha fought their battle.
The two are at the same level, but their health bars are very different.
If Nezha's health bar is terrifyingly long, then Ao Bing is the epitome of a tank.
Nezha's health bar has dropped by half, while Ao Bing still has 80% health left.
Lin Xuan was a little surprised at first, but he quickly understood.
Ao Bing is, after all, a true dragon, and he appeared in his complete form.
The Nezha we know now is actually a flawed product, and has not yet experienced any hardships.
His fight with Ao Bing was purely a plot device.
Lin Xuan knew perfectly well that even if he did nothing, Nezha could easily turn the tide and win.
The means to turn the tide must be both unexpected and logical.
That's how fate works; it can turn the impossible into the possible, yet it remains logical and withstands scrutiny.
However, he still stepped forward and declared with righteous indignation:
"Brother, since you are no match for Ao Bing, why force yourself? Step aside, and I will deal with this Third Prince of the East Sea!"
As soon as Lin Xuan said this, Nezha was the first to be displeased.
"Who said I can't beat this dragon? Don't talk nonsense!"
But everyone else nodded in agreement, secretly marveling at Lin Xuan's sense of responsibility.
They really held their own in crucial moments.
The land god and the mountain god seemed to recall something, and a hint of appreciation appeared in their eyes.
"If I remember correctly, when Lin Xuan and that white snake attacked Jinshan Temple, although many houses in Hangzhou were flooded, there were no casualties?"
"That's right! Lin Xuan must have lived in Hangzhou before launching the attack, which is why he deliberately used methods to protect the lives of the people."
"This dragon is indeed quite remarkable, but unfortunately, it has gone astray, offended the Heavenly Court, and committed a grave crime in the East Sea."
"If we have the chance, we should speak to the Jade Emperor and save Lin Xuan's life."
At Chentang Pass, both Jinzha and Muzha felt somewhat uneasy.
Just now, Nezha was at a disadvantage, and they wanted to go out to help him, but Li Jing stopped them.
The two were very dissatisfied and made a scene, but Li Jing remained unmoved and refused to let them leave.
While they were struggling with their decision, they heard Lin Xuan's words and felt ashamed of themselves.
His own two older brothers were not as good as Nezha's newly sworn brother.
"Compared to Lin Xuan, aren't we being a bit unfair?"
"This Lin Xuan does seem like the proper older brother; no wonder my third brother wants to recognize him as his sworn brother."
"Unfortunately, his strength is still somewhat lacking."
Jinzha and Muzha whispered among themselves, not optimistic about Lin Xuan.
If Nezha had a two or three-point chance of winning against Ao Bing, then against Lin Xuan, it would be a certain death.
They lacked a system and couldn't directly perceive the level difference between Lin Xuan and Ao Bing.
But they aren't blind.
Just looking at their magical powers, the difference is already like heaven and earth.
Ao Bing made his move with effortless ease. During his battle with Nezha, he was able to control the scope of the fight so as not to affect the nearby creatures, nor did he cause any flooding that would submerge Chen Tang Pass.
Lin Xuan's fight against an old dragon king caused quite a stir.
The difference between the two is enormous.
Even Li Jing, who desperately wanted to see Nezha die, couldn't help but speak up: "Lin Xuan, why are you meddling?"
"In my opinion, you should take this opportunity to escape!"
Upon hearing Li Jing's words, everyone in Chentang Pass turned their heads in disapproval. They didn't think Li Jing was particularly kind; on the contrary, they looked down on him.
Lin Xuan is a dragon, and it is said that he evolved from a snake. He only cares about Nezha because he recently became sworn brothers with him.
You, Li Jing, are Nezha's biological father. Instead of helping Nezha, you're undermining him and pouring cold water on his helpers.
This is truly chilling.
Jinzha and Muzha looked embarrassed and remained silent with their heads down.
The deputy general beside Li Jing quietly stepped back, distancing himself from Li Jing.
Li Jing, oblivious to all this, remained self-satisfied and spoke again, earnestly urging Lin Xuan to flee.
【Ding! 】
[General Li Jing of Chentang Pass suggests that you exit the current instance.]
Your relationship with Li Jing has improved.
Lin Xuan was both amused and exasperated upon hearing the suggestion.
In the game "Myth", similar things occasionally happen. If you have a good enough relationship with certain characters, you can get access to special features.
Alternatively, you could join a dungeon halfway through to take advantage of a bargain, or you could decisively run away if things went wrong.
But this was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing happening with Li Jing.
"It seems Li Jing will do anything to ruin his son."
Lin Xuan secretly curled his lip, looking down on Li Jing, but he did a good job of putting on a show. He stretched out his two claws, stood up, and bowed to Li Jing like a human.
"Thank you for your kindness, General Li, but Ao Bing came here specifically to target me. How can I simply leave?"
"Besides, since I dared to interfere, I naturally have my reasons."
"I'm really not afraid of Ao Bing!"
These words were so outrageous that even Ao Bing couldn't hold back and scoffed, "Such arrogance!"
Nezha frowned and glanced at Lin Xuan.
Li Jing looked at Lin Xuan and remained silent for a long time without saying anything more.
His magical powers are not as great as Nezha's and Ao Bing's, but his eyesight is quite good.
Li Jing was, after all, the general of the Shang Dynasty. Even if he hadn't eaten pork, he had seen pigs run.
At this time, the Shang Dynasty was in decline and fraught with crises, yet there were still many powerful figures in the court.
For example, Grand Tutor Wen Zhong is said to be a disciple of a sage.
When he was in charge of Chaoge, even envoys from outside the capital, dozens of miles away, could sense his presence and would immediately become serious and dare not act rashly.
Besides the Grand Tutor, there were many other powerful figures stationed in various regions, and Li Jing had also had contact with them.
Having been exposed to this from a young age, Li Jing could tell that Lin Xuan, in his current state, would probably not last more than three moves against Ao Bing.
Li Jing looked Lin Xuan up and down, completely baffled by the source of this dragon's confidence, and finally couldn't help but...
"Do you perhaps possess some kind of protective magic weapon, or do you have an elder nearby, which is why you dare to say such a thing?"
This was the only possibility Li Jing could think of.
However, Lin Xuan actually shook his head.
"General Li, I thought you were my soulmate, but it turns out you don't understand me at all?"
"Magic weapons? Elders? That's too superficial!"
Li Jing was even more puzzled and subconsciously retorted, "How is it superficial?"
Lin Xuan glared, his face serious. Even with his dragon form, the solemnity on his face was evident.
"General Li, have you not heard that favorable location is more important than favorable timing?"
"Ao Bing may be strong, but he comes from the sea. I may be weak, but I am just a small snake from the forest, from the land."
"As long as I fight him on the ground, I'll have the advantage of terrain, and naturally I won't be afraid of him!"
"Is this dragon out of its mind?" This was the thought that crossed everyone's mind after hearing Lin Xuan's words.
The idea of geographical advantage is not unfounded; it is indeed true.
But even the strongest geographical advantage cannot bridge such a huge gap in strength.
Even Ao Bing curled his lip.
Only Nezha showed emotion and nodded repeatedly to Lin Xuan.
Nezha was only forced into the sworn brotherhood by Lin Xuan's words; he didn't really take it seriously.
But at this moment, he truly regarded Lin Xuan as his sworn brother.
Nezha shouted, "Brother, you don't have to force yourself. Let me continue fighting with Ao Bing."
"Actually, I still have a chance of winning!"
Lin Xuan became anxious after hearing this. "Of course I know you have a chance of winning. I even know you're guaranteed to win."
But you've already taken all the kills, what am I supposed to do?
I've prepared for so long, and I've got everything ready. If I can't get Ao Bing's head, then all my efforts will have been in vain!
Lin Xuan said confidently, "Brother, don't worry. I can easily handle Ao Bing!"
He suddenly rushed to the shore, leaving the sea, lay flat on the beach, raised his head, and looked up at Ao Bing in the sky:
"Third Prince, if you have the guts, come and fight me to the death!"
Ao Bing found it funny, but also somewhat bewildered. This clown killed the Jinghai Dragon King and then killed my brother's subordinates?
Was he just incredibly lucky, or are there just a lot of good-for-nothings hidden in the East China Sea?
