Chapter 272 Who said I wanted to kill your parents?

"Wow!"

The underwater monsters, who were tightly bound by the monster-suppressing chains, all raised their heads and looked towards the direction of Chentang Pass with burning eyes.

To be more precise, their sight penetrated through layers of magma and reached the distant blue sky and white clouds.

Imprisoned in this underwater purgatory, they endured the pain of burning flames every day, their bodies were streaked with blood from the chains, and even their breathing seemed to be hot like flames.

There was eternal oppression all around them, with only the faint light occasionally shining through their heads reminding them of the existence of the outside world.

Losing freedom is undoubtedly the greatest torture for these intelligent monsters.

To practice Taoism, the first steps are "awakening the spirit" and "fasting".

Their wisdom has long surpassed "instinct" and they no longer need to rely on devouring blood to maintain their lives. On the contrary, if they devour blood, they need to expel the foul air in their bodies every day, otherwise their cultivation will stagnate or even regress.

Ordinary monsters who cannot control their "appetite" need to put in a hundred times more effort than usual, and it is extremely difficult for them to break through to the "immortal" realm.

The cultivation of the demon race depends on the spiritual energy provided by heaven and earth, but here, the spiritual energy seems to be isolated. Their cultivation is getting weaker and weaker, and their bodies are getting weaker and weaker.

"It's Daoist Master Shen's request for help..."

In the underwater purgatory, chains rang, and Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, grabbed the cold chains wrapped around his dragon body and swam his graceful body, glancing at the monsters under his command.

Some of the surrounding demons looked up at the sky with dull eyes. Some bowed their heads and shed tears with despair. Others gnashed their teeth with flames of unwillingness burning in their eyes.

Their expressions vary, but they all reveal their desire for freedom.

Trapped in the underwater purgatory for a thousand years, the three sea dragon kings were imprisoned, but they still retained the dignity and privileges of the dragon clan. They were able to leave the purgatory occasionally and go out to the outside world, and even knew everything about the Lingzhu Magic Pill.

Ao Run's heart was slightly moved: a mere mortal is not worth the three of them personally taking action. Since my eldest brother tacitly agreed to my assistance to Shen Gongbao, perhaps this can help the generals escape from this purgatory temporarily.

If you don’t use your rights, they will expire and become invalid!
"General Octopus, Commander Shark!" She spoke in a cold voice, her eyes sweeping over the two burly sea generals not far away.

"The general is here!"

General Octopus was wearing heavy armor, with eight tentacles entwined on the ground. He lowered his head slightly, and his tentacles trembled gently, revealing his inner excitement and respect.

The Shark Leader was tall, with skin as hard as iron, exposed fangs, and a fierce light flashing in his eyes. He clasped his hands together, and his sturdy arms were muscular.

"I'll leave these mortals to you to deal with." Ao Run said calmly.

The octopus general's tentacles curled up slightly, and he whispered, "I will obey your orders and will live up to your trust."

The shark leader grinned, revealing a row of sharp teeth, and said grimly: "Finally, I have a chance to stretch my muscles!"

Ao Run frowned and continued, "Send out the entire army, surround them but don't kill them."

"The whole army?"

The Shark Commander was stunned. He picked up his worn-out Fang Tian Hua Ji and stepped forward to challenge the enemy. "Your Majesty, why do you need to mobilize so many troops for a mere Chen Tang Pass? I only need to lead a team of elite soldiers to conquer the city within three hours and take the head of the Chen Tang Pass commander and present it to Your Majesty!"

There was a hint of disdain in his tone.

Chentang Pass is just a tiny place and is not worth mentioning at all.

They were a demon army that could compete with the Heavenly Court. When did they fall to the point where they had to act so cautiously? You know, any one of them going ashore would be enough to make the mortal army feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

If Li Jing, the general of Chentang Pass, and his personal guards were not there, he could break into the city with just a shark and a halberd.

General Octopus' eyes rolled, his tentacles swayed gently, and he thought to himself: This is a rare opportunity to "get some fresh air", how can I let this guy Shark steal the limelight?

He immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am a humble general, but I can conquer the city and kill its leader in just one hour!"

“Ouch! You?!” The Shark Commander’s expression changed. He turned to face Ao Run and said with a fist: “My lord, I only need half an hour! If I fail, I will accept military punishment!”

The octopus general was not willing to be outdone. He swung his tentacles violently and raised his voice by an octave: "A quarter of an hour! It only takes a quarter of an hour!"

The Shark Commander was so angry that he smashed the ground with his halberd, causing the ground to tremble slightly. "One stick of incense! I can break the city in one stick of incense! You fellow, stop messing around!"

"Three breaths!"

"Why don't you go to heaven?! Are you deliberately going against me?! Recognize my halberd!"

The shark commander was furious and rushed forward to fight with the octopus general, and both sides started to hack and chop at each other.

"enough!"

Ao Run finally couldn't help but scold, glanced at the two generals who were arguing, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Then he gave a suggestion.

"All of you should help Master Shen capture Chentang Pass, and then leave a group of soldiers to follow his orders. Remember, you cannot leave the East China Sea."

General Octopus and the Shark Commander stopped immediately, but looked confused, not understanding what was going on. "My Lord, what do you mean?"

Ao Run looked unhappy and didn't want to explain: "How stupid."

Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, laughed and said:
"There are only a hundred thousand soldiers stationed at Chentang Pass, but there are a million elite demons in the Undersea Purgatory, and all of them have cultivation. With your flesh and blood alone, you can withstand the scorching molten lava and the sea pressure of this deep sea. The bows and crossbows of the mortal army cannot penetrate the defense at all."

"This battle is just a formality. You don't have to take it too seriously."

"After you capture Chentang Pass, you can arrange the rest of your time as you wish. You can go fishing in the sea, or take a good rest, bask in the sun, and look at the blue sky and white clouds. Do you understand?"

"As for which unlucky guy is the one left behind at Chentang Pass, you can decide by guessing through rock-paper-scissors."

General Octopus and Shark Commander looked at each other, suddenly realized what was going on, and bowed at the same time.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The octopus and the shark led a large army of sea creatures and surged out from the "space crack". They surrounded Chentang Pass in an instant and formed a confrontation with the defenders in the city.

War is about to break out.

Ao Run slowly swam out of the space crack, stopped beside Shen Gongbao, and asked in a low voice: "Master Shen, what's the situation? Is there any news about my nephew?"

Shen Gongbao stood with his hands behind his back and shook his head slightly: "It is not clear at the moment. Chentang Pass has been prepared for a long time. I, my senior brother Taiyi Zhenren and Li Jing have joined forces, plus these mortal armies, I dare not act rashly."

He had already determined in his heart that Ao Bing was in great danger.

The power of the calamity sent down by the Heavenly Lord is so strong that even a "Golden Immortal" would have difficulty resisting it. Moreover, once someone else intervenes in the calamity, the power of the thunder and lightning will instantly double.

The calamity of cultivation can only be borne alone, not to mention that the devil pill is not tolerated by heaven and earth.

And his foolish disciple Ao Bing actually rashly entered the heavenly tribulation... Even if he had the cultivation of a Golden Immortal, he would be wiped out in an instant if he rashly entered. That's why he returned to the Dragon Clan to seek help.

After this back and forth, the heavenly calamity had dissipated, and he could no longer sense the dragon aura on Ao Bing.

On the wall of Chentang Pass, Li Jing looked solemn and whispered to himself: "Dragon King of the Dragon Clan..."

He had guarded Chentang Pass for many years and was well aware of the innate power of the dragon race. He knew that it was not appropriate to start a war at this time. So, he used his magic power and shouted loudly:
"Dragon King! Ao Bing is not dead!"

Ao Run was surprised when he heard this and looked at Li Jing: "Really?"

A female general beside Li Jing, holding a long sword, pointed at Chentang Pass and said loudly:

"It's absolutely true! Taiyi Immortal is currently rebuilding Ao Bing's body! Lord Dragon King, please wait for a stick of incense. We will return an intact Ao Bing to the Dragon Clan!"

Ao Run's soul swept through Chentang Pass, but she did not sense the aura of "nephew Ao Bing". She looked up at the pale blue circular light curtain slowly rising from Chentang Pass, and frowned slightly: "Immortal barrier?"

She moved and swam towards the barrier. No matter what, she had to ensure her nephew's safety first.

Seeing this, Shen Gongbao, Li Jing and Madam Yin followed closely behind.

In the light blue light curtain, a seven-colored lotus in the water tightly wrapped a red light ball, and above the lotus was a crystal water ball. In the water ball, a handsome young man with dragon horns on his head was closing his eyes and regulating his breathing, with a faint light emanating from his body.

On the shore, a Taoist priest with a round figure, a fat head and big ears sat cross-legged, holding a whisk, concentrating on protecting the Dharma. This person was Taiyi Zhenren. Although he was wearing a Taoist robe, he looked like a Buddha, which was very different from ordinary Taoist priests.

At this moment, the young man with dragon horns seemed to sense something and opened his eyes. He looked up and saw a blue real dragon swimming towards him. Behind it were Shen Gongbao, Li Jing and Madam Yin.

"Master, Auntie!" The young man's voice was filled with excitement and joy.

"Ao Bing!!"

Ao Run's heart finally settled down when she saw this. She swam closer slowly, and her dragon claws gently touched the light blue light curtain.

The mighty aura of the heavenly calamity swept all the way from Chentang Pass to the purgatory deep in the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, shaking the heaven and earth. Under such a mighty power, Ao Bing was able to escape death...

It is worthy of being the destiny of the dragon clan!
"It's okay."

Shen Gongbao was delighted to see that Ao Bing was safe and sound, and the Dragon King Ning Xunqiu's firm words flashed through his mind: Among the forty-nine heavenly evolutions, one is human escape.

"Junior brother, hehe, it was me who saved your disciple..."

Taiyi Zhenren was still sitting cross-legged, with his whisk resting lightly on his arm, his stout body as steady as a mountain. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at Ao Run and Shen Gongbao, with a simple smile on his face, but a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Taiyi Zhenren knew clearly that his junior fellow disciple Shen Gongbao's cultivation level was just about the same as his. Even if he used all his strength, he would not be able to break through the "barrier beast" in the Yuxu Palace's treasury in a short time.

But the "Dragon King of the West Sea" next to him is different.

The dragon race is gifted with extraordinary talents. A dragon of the same level can fight one against three Golden Immortals who have no magic weapons. This is something that humans and other races cannot match.

The human race is good at magic and magic weapons, but not good at strength!

After the Dragon King exhaled, this "barrier beast" could only last for three seconds at most.

"Oh... my disciple is not dead, so the person next to him must be Nezha."

Shen Gongbao narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze wandering between Nezha and Taiyi Zhenren in the seven-colored lotus, feeling jealous, as such treasures were among the best in the "Yuxu Treasure House", and Taiyi's contribution was far less than his, yet he could use them at will.

Master, you are biased.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he saw Nezha's red again, and a hint of scarlet appeared in the depths of his eyes.

kill.

kill.

A nameless anger rose in his heart.

Li Jing stood aside, noticing that the atmosphere was not right, and bowed, "Master Shen, Lord Dragon King, now that Ao Bing is safe, can we withdraw our troops?"

"Retreat, retreat, withdraw..." Shen Gongbao raised the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard this.

"Master Taoist is so righteous!" Li Jing and Madam Yin relaxed their expressions and saluted with fists clasped.

"retreat?"

Shen Gongbao showed a meaningful smile. He looked down at Nezha below, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Li, Li Jing, since you already know the plan between me and the dragon clan, I can't let you stay!"

Ao Bing's face changed drastically, and he shouted hurriedly: "Master, Aunt, Master Taiyi has rebuilt my body. Let's withdraw our troops and let this matter end here."

Shen Gongbao sneered: "Forget it? They know something they shouldn't know, they must die today!"

He turned to look at Ao Run, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "Lord Dragon King, the one in the seven-colored lotus should be Nezha. As long as we get rid of Nezha and slaughter Chentangguan, no one will know about my relationship with the dragon clan!"

"Don't miss this opportunity!"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Gongbao suddenly raised the Thunder Whip in his hand and smashed it towards the barrier with one whip after another. The barrier shook and flashed under the fierce attack.

"stop!"

Upon seeing this, Li Jing and Madam Yin's faces suddenly changed, and they both rushed forward with swords in hand to stop Shen Gongbao.

boom!
Ao Run weighed the pros and cons in his mind, suddenly opened his dragon mouth, and exhaled a blue breath like a raging wave straight into the barrier. The barrier trembled violently and the light quickly dimmed.

After three breaths, the barrier finally couldn't hold on and shattered with a snap!
The blue breath continued to move forward, heading straight for Nezha who had just formed in the center of the lotus.

Ao Bing's face changed drastically when he saw this, and he suddenly stood up and rushed out of the water ball that wrapped him. His newly reshaped body was not yet completely stable, but he stood in front of Nezha without hesitation, forcibly withstanding the blue breath.

bump!
However, the backlash from the collision between the two was too strong. Cracks began to appear on his body and his flesh could collapse at any time.

"Their plot is so fast..."

At this moment, Ning Xunqiu suddenly opened his eyes, and words began to slowly appear in the copy of Tianyan Book "The Magic Pill Nezha: I am the Dragon King of the East China Sea" in his soul.

His soul left his body and left the Dinghai Divine Soldiers, and sensed the breath of "little sister".

Rumble!
In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, wind and clouds gathered, and a boundless pressure descended from the sky, covering the entire place.

"this!"

Taoist Taiyi was horrified, and he and Li Jing and Madam Yin were unable to move. They looked terrified and looked towards where Ao Bing was.

A man with snow-white hair, dragon horns on his head, and dragon-scale armor appeared in front of Nezha and Ao Bing. The breath of the Dragon King of the West Sea dissipated like smoke in his hands.

Ao Bing looked at the tall and broad figure in front of him, and suddenly felt a sense of reliance in his heart. His tense nerves relaxed a little, and he called softly, "Father!"

Ning Xunqiu turned around and looked at Ao Bing. Seeing that his body had been mostly broken, he frowned slightly.

"It's okay."

He raised his hand, and a stream of light flew out from his palm. The soft light enveloped Ao Bing, fixing his crumbling body, and the cracks gradually stopped spreading.

Afterwards, he swept his eyes over Taiyi Zhenren, Li Jing, and Madam Yin, and then glanced coldly at Shen Gongbao and Ao Run beside him, his expression intimidating without even being angry.

"Do you realize your mistake?"

Nezha's heart tightened as he felt the pressure emanating from Ning Xunqiu, which was as suffocating as facing a heavenly calamity.

"Dragon King, I won't let you kill my parents!!"

He roared angrily and forcibly broke the seven-colored lotus. His small body flashed and he opened his arms without hesitation, blocking Li Jing and Madam Yin. He raised his head and looked at Ning Xunqiu nervously.

Ning Xunqiu was slightly startled when he heard this, then he smiled gently and said calmly:

"Who said they were going to kill your parents?"

"what?!"
