Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Ziya’s Death, Yin Shang Victorious

The Dragon Binding Rope definitely can’t compare to the Binding Immortal Rope now, but it still has some effect. A golden chain trapped the two front legs of the giant wild boar and tightened, causing Zhu Zizhen to lose his support. Using this advantage, Yin Shou managed to pivot and smashed Zhu Zizhen onto the ground.

The beastly nature of Zhu Zizhen was fully triggered, his eyes blood-red as he opened his massive jaws, a powerful suction enveloping Yin Shou.

Yin Shou was quite a fierce person too; though low on stamina and mana, he showed no fear and instead charged directly towards Zhu Zizhen with the suction.

Draining all his spiritual power, the spearhead of the Dragon-breaking Spear transformed into a drill, spinning at high speed. Using the inertia of his charge, Yin Shou drove it with all his might into the foul mouth of the giant boar.

Fortunately, Nezha didn’t cut corners; the spinning spearhead pierced through the inner wall of the mouth and directly entered the brain of the pig. The deafening wail resonating through Chaoge instantly bombarded Yin Shou’s eardrums. He held tightly onto the long spear, stirring it desperately, and after a moment, the great demon with true immortal cultivation lay motionless.

Yin Shou was also in terrible shape, with more than half of his armor shattered, and covered in some inexplicable slime. He pried open the wild boar’s mouth with one hand and crawled out, barely leaning on the long spear to stand up. Making a gesture of embracing the sky, he then collapsed.

The remaining demons watched Nezha blocking their way, staring as Zhu Zizhen died before their eyes.

Nezha, expressionless, said, "Having signed the life-and-death pact, life and death are determined by fate, and perhaps there will be another day to meet."

The remaining three demons felt Nezha’s implication was to send them to reincarnation too, making them even angrier.

Nezha stood up and took Yin Shou back, and Jiang Ziya conscientiously flew towards the arena, ashamed to hide behind the two young girls. On the opposite side, Chang Hao took the field.

Since coming to Chaoge, Old Jiang had learned some immortal law but his combat power was just so-so. The only thing worth mentioning was a few escape techniques. As he came up, he pulled out a long stick and swung it, creating multiple shadows.

Chang Hao’s eyes were already red; the Dragon Beating Stick is useless against this snake. He opened his mouth to spew a green poisonous mist and then transformed into his true form to pounce on Jiang Ziya. The beast’s ferocity was fully displayed.

Although vigilant, Jiang Ziya immediately held his breath and erected a spiritual power shield. Unfortunately, a white snake tail swept through, shattering the spiritual power shield. Quick to react, Jiang Ziya tunneled into the ground, but had already inhaled some of the poison. On the arena, dark green poison mist roiled as a giant white snake kept pounding the ground with its tail.

Old Jiang’s situation was dire—his mana was running low due to the toxin. He jumped out just to surrender: "I..."

Kang chi!

Jaws of the snake bit down.

Jiang Ziya, dead!

Nezha watched the scene, not intervening, having said that life and death are decreed by destiny, he wouldn’t contradict himself.

Ignoring the poison mist, he lightly approached. The giant serpent’s vertical pupils watched Nezha warily as if ready to attack at any moment. Nezha naturally was unafraid; should it dare to attack, countering would be justified.

"Daoist friend Chang Hao, how about we exchange Zhu Zizhen’s corpse for Jiang Ziya’s?"

Chang Hao agreed without even thinking.

The two completed the exchange. Nezha placed Jiang Ziya’s divine soul and body in a Jade Bottle, intending to return it to Yun Zhongzi. They had some camaraderie, and he couldn’t just watch him turn into snake dung.

Chang Hao showed no intention of leaving the arena. Huang Feihu was ready, but Nezha stopped him. Ever since visiting the Yuxu Palace, Huang Feihu often sent over heavenly materials and treasures and assisted with miscellaneous matters, forming some friendship.

Jiang Ziya wasn’t going to die. If Huang Feihu went up, not seeing his eldest son was one matter, the second son might just be gone completely.

Nezha reached into his sleeve and took out a red bead, indeed the Dog Treasure from his bag.

He handed it to Daji, who took it somewhat disdainfully, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and wore it, flying towards the arena.

Having killed Jiang Ziya, Chang Hao felt there should be no experts left behind. Seeing the opponent was a fair lady, he had no tender feelings, spewing a jet of poisonous mist and rushed forward.

Daji didn’t think much, taking out a festive-looking Red Embroidered Ball and threw it at the giant serpent.

Bang!

The giant serpent turned into a giant snake sauce.

Chang Hao dead!

Nezha was shocked looking at the Red Embroidered Ball in Daji’s hand; he hadn’t given her this? His teacher certainly had no qualms about borrowing things out.

Daji waved, cherishingly retrieving the Red Embroidered Ball. How could Nezha ask her to throw the tripod; it wasn’t something a lady should throw.

She didn’t particularly like fighting; having won, she directly stepped down, casting a proud glance at Deng Chanyu.

Deng Chanyu was also a battle-hungry individual; taking the Dog Treasure, she eagerly jumped onto the arena.

Wu Long sighed with relief and fear simultaneously, fearing this girl would pull out a Red Embroidered Ball. Seeing Deng Chanyu take out a pair of dual knives, he sighed with relief.

Also spewing poisonous mist, he revealed his true form. Unfortunately, it was useless against the Dog Treasure’s antidote.

Expecting the tough carapace, but slices of ancient blade light transformed him into three segments.

A centipede dies yet lingers, the giant centipede’s head turned to bite Deng Chanyu, but she split it in two with a slash.

Wu Long dead!

Back in the day, Nuwa used these dual knives to slice from Buzhou Mountain to the west, so Wu Long met his end appropriately.

Deng Chanyu checked the blade, finding not a speck of blood, the ancient and understated design caught her fancy.

Nezha had become numb. His teacher was truly kind to him.

Lastly, Yang Xian appeared sorrowful, feeling like a lamb headed to slaughter. Yet with his brothers either dead or caught, could he run away?

The outcome was evident; he fared worse than Wu Long, enduring only two slashes before becoming the team’s hot pot ingredient for the evening.

Yin Shang wins!

Yin Shou was seriously injured for the second time.

Huang Feihu hadn’t even entered the arena but got dragged along, so the cleanup task fell to him.

Nezha led the group back to the mansion to eat hotpot; the freshly cut mutton should not go to waste.

During the meal, Nezha, Yu Yuan, Yun Zhongzi, Daji, and Deng Chanyu sang while eating hotpot, creating a great atmosphere.

Nezha took out the Jade Bottle containing Jiang Ziya’s body from his sleeve, apologetically saying, "This is Brother Ziya’s body. During the battle, he couldn’t defeat the snake demon and sacrificed for Great Shang."

Yun Zhongzi accepted the Jade Bottle without much care. Although Jiang Ziya was called Little Junior Brother, there was really no emotional bond. Yet he knew about the investiture affairs. After a meal and drinks, Yun Zhongzi bid farewell with ’Ultraman’ Yang Ren.

The two had gotten along well, having a teacher-student and friendship-like relationship. As Yun Zhongzi was leaving, he whispered, "Junior Brother, you are straightforward and values emotion, but remember not to get too involved with the Jie Sect."

Nezha solemnly nodded. The Jie Sect disciples were of varying quality, mostly man-eating demons. To play with them would be ridiculous. Should they encounter him one day, he certainly wouldn’t spare Yu Yuan’s reputation, and would resolutely send them to the Investiture of the Gods for a 996-style blessing.
