Chapter 142 Tension
In the sky, three forces confronted each other, with Lin Xuan being the weakest.
Although there were many black snake clones around him, their strength was very weak.
Even if infused with magic, he would be no match for any of the Dragon Kings, let alone be an enemy of Ao Guang.
With a casual flick of his claw, Ao Guang could shatter a black snake clone.
Moreover, as Lin Xuan continued to release his magical power, his own aura began to become unstable.
Ao Guang glanced at Lin Xuan, suddenly realizing something, and sneered:
"Lin Xuan, you have exhausted your magic power by summoning so many clones in order to use the clone technique."
"I don't know what you're thinking. Do you really believe that having these clones will make you stronger than me?"
Having said that, Ao Guang turned to look at the other Dragon Kings and continued:
"Even when the weak gather together, they are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs, not worth mentioning!"
These words had a double meaning, and the Dragon Kings were enraged upon hearing them. They brandished their claws and bared their fangs, as if they were about to join forces to defeat Ao Guang at any moment.
However, Ao Guang remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged, and he gave a quiet, cold laugh.
After several dozen breaths, the Dragon Kings made thunder but no rain, and they really did not launch an attack.
The heavenly soldiers watching from afar shook their heads and laughed, half disappointed and half mocking.
"These dragon kings are indeed cowards; there's no good show to watch today!"
In their eyes, only the great battle between the Dragon Kings had any suspense.
As for Lin Xuan...
Regardless of whether Ao Guang wins or the other dragon kings gain the upper hand, Lin Xuan's fate is sealed.
He has absolutely no chance of winning.
At this moment, Nezha's voice suddenly rang out.
When Lin Xuangang appeared, Nezha was overjoyed and very excited.
As expected, his newly sworn brother did not run away; he reappeared at the crucial moment, which was very kind of him.
But he now recognizes the situation and feels that Lin Xuan's appearance is nothing more than a moth drawn to a flame.
Not only will it not change the situation, but it will also cause him to get himself into trouble for nothing.
Nezha said, "You old immortal in heaven, you just promised me that if I was willing to die, you would spare the others."
"My older brother should be included too!"
Upon hearing this, Venus immediately nodded. At this moment, he was already unable to contain himself and wished he could personally send Nezha on his way.
If he weren't worried about getting involved in the karma and incurring Nezha's wrath, he really would have taken action.
When Nezha laid out his conditions, Taibai Jinxing hurriedly said, "You're willing to commit suicide as long as Lin Xuan survives?"
Nezha glanced back at Chen Tang Pass, then looked at Lin Xuan, a hint of reluctance flashing in his small eyes, before firmly saying:
"Of course!"
Venus was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted:
"Ao Guang, and all you Dragon Kings, stop right now!"
"I have already promised Nezha, and I cannot go back on my word. If you kill Lin Xuan, you will bring shame upon me!"
His tone was harsh and unusually grating.
Not only did he speak, but he also waved his whisk and, without any visible magical power, he conjured a bell-shaped magic weapon.
The small bell glowed with a golden luster. It was small, only the size of a palm, but once it appeared, it grew larger in the wind, reaching a length and width of ten feet.
Immediately afterwards, the golden bell flew to the top of Lin Xuan's head, showering down light in the shape of armor, protecting Lin Xuan beneath it.
All of this happened very quickly. Before Ao Guang could react, Lin Xuan was already enveloped in golden light.
Seeing this, Ao Guang was both anxious and angry. He didn't care about causing trouble for the dragon kings, and he forgot about hierarchy. He roared at Taibai Jinxing:
"Venus, what exactly do you mean by this?"
"Clearly, Lin Xuan is the real culprit..."
Venus narrowed his eyes, interrupting him, and said coldly:
"Ao Guang, what do you mean by this? Are you accusing me?"
Upon hearing this, Ao Guang felt a chill run through his body and dared not roar again. Even though he had transformed back into his true form, one could still see embarrassment and confusion in his dragon head.
Why exactly did Venus protect Lin Xuan?
Is it really for a vague and unrealistic promise?
Not only Ao Guang, but everyone was curious and couldn't understand why Venus was acting this way.
Could it be that Nezha had a grudge against him in a past life? That's why he so wanted to see Nezha commit suicide?
But that doesn't make sense!
If you really have a grudge, shouldn't you kill your enemy yourself to feel better?
Only the all-seeing and all-hearing eyes nodded in agreement. It matched up again!
We had long suspected that Venus would try to save Lin Xuan's life, and now it seems that it was indeed true!
But how did Venus know that Nezha would be willing to sacrifice himself?
"This old sage is indeed a master of disguise; we must not underestimate him in the future!"
They exchanged a glance and made a mental note of it.
Seeing that Ao Guang had stopped talking, Venus nodded and said meaningfully:
"Dragon King of the East Sea, do not forget what we just said."
After offering a reminder, he looked at Nezha again.
"Nezha, I have already saved Lin Xuan's life. What else do you have to say?"
Nezha took a deep breath and was about to speak when he suddenly heard Lin Xuan speak.
"Venus, when did I ever need your protection?"
Lin Xuan leaped out of the water, leaving only the tip of his tail in the water, his body upright, like an ancient pine tree.
This statement is utterly treasonous. In everyone's eyes, Lin Xuan's survival is entirely due to Taibai Jinxing's inexplicable persistence.
In this situation, Lin Xuan still dared to speak rudely to Taibai Jinxing; he was simply courting death!
Even the all-seeing eye and the all-hearing ear showed surprise, staring at Lin Xuan, wondering what was going on.
But soon their eyes widened.
What happened next was something they couldn't understand.
Lin Xuan closed his eyes, seemingly giving up the fight, while the black snake clones scattered about like headless flies.
Many of the clones simply rushed into the ranks of the Dragon Kings.
The Dragon Kings were not afraid when they saw this.
These clones are too weak; even if a sneak attack is launched, it is difficult to truly injure them.
Moreover, the Dragon Kings had already made preparations to fight the enemy, so their clones posed even less of a threat.
They were simply curious and didn't know what Lin Xuan was going to do, so they didn't attack the clone and waited.
Lin Xuan twitched the corners of his mouth, a smile appearing on his face. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly froze, and he was shocked.
In the darkness, he felt a gaze upon him, as if something was watching him.
Lin Xuan was shocked and thought to himself, "What's going on?"
"Could it be that my repeated exploits of bugs, involving the layering of several historical allusions, have attracted the attention of some powerful figure?"
In the game, when players see someone exploiting a bug, they can immediately understand the underlying principle. Even if they don't know exactly how the bug is exploited, they know the general process.
Besides the players, the bosses and NPCs with higher intelligence levels can also detect something is wrong and know that this is not the player's original strength.
Some specific NPC characters will even actively seek out players, trying to explore the source of this power.
Of course, these settings in the game are only to increase immersion.
Even if players patiently explain to NPCs how to exploit bugs, and even if the NPCs are very intelligent, they still won't be able to learn it.
But Lin Xuan already knew that this was not a simple game world.
"Last time I used the power of historical allusions twice in a row to stack buffs, I felt something was wrong."
"Now it seems this wasn't an illusion, but something real! I used this power too much, and sure enough, I was being watched!"
"But who exactly are they? Are they some kind of powerful beings, or just saints who only appear in background settings?"
Lin Xuan's forehead was covered in sweat; he was somewhat nervous, but not flustered.
