Chapter 108 The Protective Formation
Ao Bing shook his head and smiled, not taking Lin Xuan's words to heart. He turned to look at Nezha, his eyes showing seriousness.
After fighting Nezha for dozens of rounds, he realized something was wrong.
The boy in front of me, though very young, possessed great magical power, and the two magical treasures he carried seemed to have quite a history.
Such a person is unlikely to appear out of thin air.
"Is he/she a disciple of some powerful figure, or a backup plan arranged by someone? Or perhaps even the reincarnation of a great being?"
Many thoughts flashed through Ao Bing's mind, and he became increasingly wary.
If you kill Nezha, you'll make enemies of the people behind him.
Ao Bing was very self-aware; in the East Sea, he was the third prince of the Dragon King, second only to the emperor.
But in the eyes of those powerful beings, he was just a small dragon.
If you really anger these people, they've eaten dragon liver and phoenix gall before.
Ao Bing suddenly spoke, his tone gentle:
"Nezha, it seems that today's events were a misunderstanding. You were playing in the water at the beach and accidentally killed the East Sea Dragon Clan."
"If you're willing to admit your mistake, this matter can end here. What do you say?"
This statement surprised many people.
The dragon race is powerful and holds a high status. It seems that Ao Bing also has a very strong background within the dragon race.
How could such a true dragon voluntarily back down?
This is simply illogical.
Nezha couldn't figure it out either, but he didn't like to use his brain anyway, so he grinned and said:
"Don't give me that nonsense. What do you mean by misunderstanding? That yaksha just emerged from the sea and started disrespecting me. Then that stinky dragon that jumped out also started yelling at me to kill."
"I killed them, and it was perfectly justified. Don't expect me to admit my mistake or apologize!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than he charged forward again, carrying the Universe Ring. This time, however, he had learned his lesson and completely wrapped his body in the Hun Tian Ling, like a suit of armor.
In this way, it would be difficult for Ao Bing to leave any more wounds on him.
Ao Bing was slightly annoyed to find Nezha so out of touch with reality.
Does this kid really think I'm afraid of him?
He snorted heavily, a rare display of anger, but quickly suppressed it.
"Fine, since Nezha refuses to back down, I'll take him down first."
"Anyway, as long as no one's killed anyone, the person behind this kid probably won't do anything."
Thinking of this, Ao Bing took the initiative to retreat hundreds of feet and into the depths of the sea, where he whipped his tail to create a giant wave.
Such a huge wave was even more terrifying than the waves that Lin Xuan and Bai Suzhen stirred up in Hangzhou, and it was just a casual strike from Ao Bing.
"hiss!"
In Chentang Pass, the people were so frightened by the sight of this giant wave that they gasped and trembled.
Even from a great distance, the pressure from this wave is immense.
Many people regretted that they should have followed the others and run away as soon as possible!
However, some people still stubbornly insist: "If this wave really crashes down, even if we run away in advance, can we really avoid it?"
That makes a lot of sense. Those who run out of the city are just ordinary people, and at most they can only run a dozen miles away during this period of time.
Under that giant wave, this distance is completely ineffective; you will still be affected.
On the city wall, Li Jing's face was gloomy.
Nezha caused trouble in the sea, which was exactly what he wanted to see.
But Nezha actually caused such a huge mess, putting Chen Tang Pass in danger, which was something he hadn't expected.
"That unfilial son of mine, he's always giving me a hard time!"
Li Jing threw a punch, which struck the city wall with a dull thud, causing Jin Zha and Mu Zha nearby to shake their heads helplessly.
My third brother has always been fearless, and this isn't a new thing. Dad, what are you so surprised about?
The most urgent task is to find a way to withstand the giant waves.
After exchanging a glance, Jin Zha stepped forward and bowed to Li Jing, saying:
"Father, I've heard that we also have formations in Chentang Pass, enough to defend against the enemy."
This is not something Jin Zha made up on a whim; there are formations set up by experts in every city and pass of the Shang Dynasty.
After being reminded by Jin Zha, Li Jing immediately nodded, turned around, walked down the city wall, and returned to the general's mansion.
He was incredibly fast, covering a great distance in the blink of an eye.
Soon, he arrived at the General's Mansion, activated the formation, and a light curtain rose out of thin air, covering the entire Chentang Pass.
Lin Xuan's heart stirred, and he turned around to look, his vertical pupils fixed on the light screen.
【Chen Tang Pass Protective Formation】
【Durability: 10000000/10000000】
Why is the formation at Chen Tang Pass so fragile?
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes, slightly puzzled, but quickly understood.
"That's right. The battle between Nezha and Ao Bing was just a formality; the outcome was predetermined—Ao Bing was destined to die."
Not long after, the Dragon King of the East Sea heard of this and led his troops to attack, plunging Chen Tang Pass into a tremendous ordeal.
"If the formation's durability is too high, and the Four Dragon Kings can't conquer this place in a short time, how will the story progress?"
Lin Xuan nodded slightly, having figured out the reasoning behind it.
He knew in his heart that Chentang Pass was not as simple as it seemed; it was an extremely important pass of the Shang Dynasty.
The protective array should have been extremely durable, even enough to make immortals feel troubled and unable to break through it easily.
The current formation is just a weakened version.
"That's fine too!" Lin Xuan took a deep breath, stopped paying attention to the great formation, and turned to look at the giant wave.
Not only Lin Xuan, but everyone except the worried and fearful mortals in Chentang Pass had their eyes focused on Nezha.
At this moment, the giant wave came in front of Nezha, but Nezha remained calm and placed the Universe Ring in front of his chest, neither dodging nor avoiding it.
"Boom!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The giant wave struck Nezha, producing a deafening roar.
For a moment, many people doubted that Nezha had been defeated.
But they soon discovered that this was not the case; strange splashes of water appeared in the giant waves, spreading outwards like a stream crashing against rocks.
"Nezha actually withstood it?"
"That ring in his hand... it looks familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before. Could this Nezha be a high-ranking disciple of the Chan Sect?"
The mountain god and the earth god huddled together, whispering among themselves.
A moment later, they saw Nezha break through the giant waves, and then turned their attention to another matter.
"Ao Bing seems to be really desperate. He's recklessly resorting to this move."
"When the waves crash onto the shore, Chen Tang Pass is bound to be in trouble. Should we intervene?"
The mountain god and the land god hesitated.
Their strength is no match for Ao Bing's. If they were in Nezha's position, they wouldn't have such doubts at all and would have run away immediately.
But we were already on the shore, and by the time the waves came crashing in, they were already at their last gasp, with less than a tenth of their power remaining.
That's why they said that.
Just as they hesitated, the giant wave crashed onto the shore, finally making landfall and stirring up countless clumps of mud, causing enormous damage.
Many fishing boats were smashed by the giant waves, not to mention the houses on the ground, which were powerless against the flood.
Before the waves even reached Qiantang Pass, seawater began to fall, carrying with it pebbles and small fish and shrimp, crashing against the protective array with a loud crackling sound.
Ripples appeared on the surface of the great array.
【-twenty four】
【-twenty four】
A series of prompts appeared from various parts of the great formation.
Although only Lin Xuan could see these hints, the others still noticed something was wrong.
The mere initiation caused the great formation to shake.
Can the great formation really withstand the waves?
