Chapter 113 The East China Sea Tremors
Lin Xuan kept his eyes on Ao Bing. He wasn't worried that Ao Bing would escape. The instance had already been opened, and this was a special scene.
As a boss, Ao Bing cannot leave easily.
Or rather, even if he wanted to leave, Lin Xuan would receive a notification and prepare in advance.
He saw Ao Bing's eyes constantly changing color, with red light appearing repeatedly, eventually gaining the upper hand.
Lin Xuan felt uneasy. Was this what was called the will of Heaven?
In the game, when a character dies, that's it; when a boss dies, all that happens is that it drops equipment.
Lin Xuan was just a player, so he wasn't saddened by this; on the contrary, he was happy to see it happen.
But at this moment, he is not just a simple player.
What if one day he is also targeted by fate and pushed into a deadly situation, and he is misled by fate, and has a chance to escape but insists on dying?
Lin Xuan remained silent, which was quite unusual. Nezha frowned and approached, landing next to Lin Xuan's head, and asked in a low voice:
"Hey, what happened to you? Did Ao Bing's claw attack cause you internal injuries?"
Hearing the concern in Nezha's tone, Lin Xuan regained his composure and said:
"I'm fine, I just feel that Ao Bing is acting a bit strange."
"Something's not right?" Nezha turned around in confusion and stared at Ao Bing for a long time.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with him."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan looked at Ao Bing's eyes carefully again, but said nothing more.
The red light in Ao Bing's eyes was very obvious and completely different from that of other dragons.
Anyone who isn't blind can see the problem.
But Nezha wouldn't lie to himself about something like this.
It is clear that fate is not only deceiving Ao Bing, but probably everyone present has been affected.
Ao Bing advanced and retreated erratically, gritting his teeth, while Lin Xuan and Nezha whispered among themselves.
For a moment, the sky fell into an eerie stillness.
However, things have already gotten out of hand in places further away.
Everyone pointed at Lin Xuan, exclaiming in amazement.
"I never imagined this black dragon truly possessed such formidable strength; no wonder it dared to boast so arrogantly earlier!"
They no longer dare to call Lin Xuan a dragon, but instead use a more respectful title.
The mountain gods and local deities all smiled bitterly, unsure of what to say.
Lin Xuan, if you have such ability, why didn't you show it just now? Instead, you had to put on an act, pretending that you had to exert a lot of effort to break through the giant wave.
This is outrageous!
Several mountain gods and local deities were even more frightened afterward.
Their territory was not far from Hangzhou. When they received the order from the Heavenly Court, they immediately set off to search for Lin Xuan.
At the time, they didn't think it was that dangerous; they just regarded Lin Xuan as an ordinary monster. But now, thinking back...
The immortals shuddered, secretly relieved.
Fortunately, I didn't actually encounter Lin Xuan back then, otherwise I wouldn't even know how I died!
Although they held divine positions, their strength was quite ordinary, and they were no match for Lin Xuan in his current state.
At some point, the two immortals dressed as Taoist priests descended to the ground and mingled into Chentang Pass.
The array at Chentang Pass had long been broken and could no longer serve any purpose, allowing them to easily infiltrate.
The two walked up to the city wall, getting closer to Lin Xuan and seeing more details.
"This Lin Xuan is definitely not right! His strength has suddenly increased dramatically, not because he took some kind of elixir!" the tall cultivator exclaimed.
They were initially surprised, but quickly came to their senses and realized that Lin Xuan was probably just lucky to have obtained a magic pill from somewhere.
Although in the human world, such pills that can boost a person's level by dozens of levels in one go are extremely rare and only exist in legends.
But they came from the Heavenly Court, and although their status was low, they had seen the world.
In the Heavenly Court, such elixirs are very precious, but they are not entirely nonexistent.
However, upon closer inspection, they discovered that they had guessed wrong. Lin Xuan's aura was very stable, completely different from his state after taking the pill.
"Could it be that he actually possesses such strength, and what happened just now was merely a disguise? But that doesn't make sense!"
The two men frowned, their expressions troubled, their hands clasped together, their hearts pounding with anxiety.
They searched the city of Hangzhou, tracing Lin Xuan's footsteps and visiting the places he had stayed.
In their eyes, this dragon was indeed a bit strange, but it could be explained by the fact that its bloodline was slightly stronger.
Its power to control water far surpasses that of ordinary dragons.
Fahai underestimated his opponent and was knocked away by Lin Xuan, falling into Leifeng Pagoda, where he was never able to rise again.
They had been watching from the shadows when Lin Xuan broke through the waves, confirming their suspicions once again.
Lin Xuan's magical power is nothing special and not worth worrying about at all.
If Lin Xuan managed to fool them twice in a row, that would be even more terrifying.
After all... who can guarantee that Lin Xuan has already shown his full strength? What if he still has a trump card up his sleeve?
The two immortals were unsure of what to do and remained silent for a long time.
In the sky, Lin Xuan composed himself and stopped caring about Ao Bing's condition.
In the future, this so-called divine will may become a great threat, but at least for now, divine will is still on my side.
If Ao Bing were to regain his composure and become determined to escape, Lin Xuan would find the situation truly troublesome.
His strength relies entirely on the proverb "Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake." Once he leaves the Chen Tang Pass area, he will immediately revert to his original form.
Even with Nezha's protection, preventing Ao Bing from killing them, they would have no chance to kill Ao Bing again.
Lin Xuan said to Nezha:
"Let's join forces and kill Ao Bing first, then we'll split the spoils."
Nezha was very excited upon hearing this, rubbing his hands together and asking, "How will we divide it equally?"
After asking that question, he suddenly became wary again, staring at Lin Xuan.
"You're not thinking of taking a bite first again, are you? Let me tell you, you won't fool me a second time!"
Lin Xuan chuckled inwardly; Nezha wasn't stupid after all.
He calmly replied, "Don't worry, when have I ever lied to you? Didn't I compensate you for eating that dragon last time?"
Nezha was still skeptical: "Then how do you plan to divide it?"
Lin Xuan deliberately took deep breaths.
"Ao Bing's body still belongs to me... Nezha, don't be impatient, I only want his corpse."
"He is the crown prince of the Dragon King of the East Sea, and he has many magical treasures. I don't want any of them; they are all yours."
Lin Xuan was not speaking carelessly.
The Nezha Conquers the Dragon King dungeon is extremely popular, with countless guides available. Lin Xuan is very clear about what equipment Ao Bing will drop after his death.
These equipment require extremely high levels.
Lin Xuan can indeed use them now, but once he exits his current state, these magical treasures will become mere decorative items that are good to look at but useless.
He will only have the opportunity to use it after a long time, once he has leveled up his character.
Since that's the case, why not just hand it over to Nezha and do him a favor?
Nezha was somewhat skeptical: "Lin Xuan, are you really that kind? Does Ao Bing really have a lot of treasures on him?"
Lin Xuan waved his claws.
"Nezha, we're sworn brothers, how could I betray you?"
Nezha didn't believe it at first, but after staring into Lin Xuan's eyes for a long time, he couldn't tell that Lin Xuan was lying to him, so he nodded.
"That's true! The first time he tricked me, we weren't even sworn brothers yet."
Nezha laughed and nodded, saying, "Then it's settled. You can have the little dragon's body, and I only want the magic weapon."
When Lin Xuan and Nezha were talking, they did not pressure Ao Bing. They talked freely, oblivious to others.
Ao Bing's eyes were already bloodshot, and upon hearing this, he became even more furious and sneered.
I'm still alive and well, and these two guys are already dividing up my inheritance? That's outrageous!
Ao Bing roared, his body flashing with light, his aura suddenly intensified, and his health bar began to recover rapidly.
The health I lost during the fight with Nezha was restored to full in a very short time.
Lin Xuan was not surprised; this was Ao Bing's second stage.
A boss of this level is not easy to kill. If you try to take advantage of a low-health boss, you will definitely suffer a great loss.
Ao Bing's "Berserk" state has changed, with attack increased by 100% and defense reduced to 0.
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and warned Nezha, "Be careful, this guy's going to risk his life."
Upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, Nezha was not afraid at all; instead, he clapped his hands with a smile.
"That's perfect! I hadn't had enough fun yet!"
It has been more than half a day since Nezha started playing in the water at the beach.
As dusk settled and the sun began to set, it cast long shadows on the ground.
On the other side of the sky, the moonlight could already be seen.
The news spread quickly, and many dragon kings in the vicinity had already heard that the boy who caused trouble in the sea had a helper by his side, namely Lin Xuan.
They were both shocked and furious, wishing they could escape immediately, fearing that Lin Xuan would also come looking for them and devour them.
But they soon received news that the Third Prince had come in person, and they were relieved.
"The arrival of the Third Prince has brought dawn to the East Sea! How could a mere Lin Xuan possibly be a match for the Third Prince?"
Reassured, they crossed many seas to watch the spectacle from afar.
Several of the dragon kings had a very good relationship with the eldest prince Ao Bing, and they were worried that Ao Bing would take the opportunity to kill Lin Xuan and silence him by killing the dragons.
They informed Ao Jia of the news.
Upon hearing the news, Ao Jia leaped three feet, his eyes flashing with anger. Although he had not been corrupted by the will of heaven, he was not much better off.
"Alright, Ao Bing really slipped up!"
"Ever since Lin Xuan killed my river god, he's been hiding. How come he suddenly appeared as soon as Ao Bing made his move?"
"There must be a connection between them!"
Upon hearing Ao Jia's words, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals beside him looked conflicted, unsure of what to say.
They heard it clearly: Ao Bing had rushed there because he had obtained Lin Xuan's whereabouts.
Their own eldest son is completely distorting the truth.
After much deliberation, they were unwilling to risk any trouble, so they all lowered their heads and remained silent, pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Seeing that his subordinates remained silent, Ao Jia became even more pleased, thinking he had spoken correctly, and said smugly:
"Let's go, let's set off for Chentang Pass."
"If Ao Bing really tries to silence him, I'll catch him red-handed and see what he has to say then!"
At Ao Jia's command, the old tortoise immediately changed course, carrying the Dragon Palace towards the shore.
They braved the winds and waves along the way, causing quite a stir.
The alarmed sea creatures searched around for news and soon learned of the changes at Chentang Pass.
"Did the Third Prince block Lin Xuan's way?"
"And even the Crown Prince went? We have to go and join the fun!"
In an instant, the entire East China Sea was abuzz with activity.
Countless dragon kings set off with their families and subordinates, as if to attend a grand gathering.
The Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea also received the news.
He sat upright on the dragon throne, and although he wanted to watch, he thought about it again and again and decided to suppress the thought.
"Recently, the murderous intent in the world has become increasingly apparent. It seems that a great calamity has already begun. If I approach the land, I might also be drawn into it."
"Anyway, Lin Xuan's strength is weak, and I haven't heard of any powerful figures near Chen Tang Pass..."
Ao Guang felt relieved and sat comfortably on the dragon throne.
