Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 528 The Porridge is Waiting for You
Porridge to fill the Dragon Palace of the East Sea?!
What a joke!
The dragon whiskers beneath Ao Guang's golden crown stood on end in his rage!
Having lived for thousands of years, how could it have ever seen such an arrogant mortal?

"Insects! Do you know how vast the East Sea is? There's a limit to boasting!" The dragon's roar shook the clouds, and the Xuanbing Arrow that Ao Guang had condensed at the tip of his claws suddenly shot out!

The sea froze instantly where the arrow passed, but then mysteriously hovered three inches in front of Fang Yu's brow.

The tip of the ice arrow cracked and split, eventually exploding into a shower of ice crystals!
Nezha's eyes widened: "Holy crap! Your protective aura is almost as strong as the Nine Dragons Cover!"

Fang Yu brushed the ice shards off his shoulder, his pupils shimmering with pale golden ripples.

As strength increases, the defensive effect of Divine Blessing and Obstacle Avoidance also becomes stronger.

Ao Guang squinted at Fang Yu, genuinely puzzled as to when Chen Tang Pass had acquired a helper.

"Old mudfish, scared?" Nezha suddenly jumped onto Fang Yu's shoulder, his Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) slapping the sea surface provocatively. "Want me to show you how to roast a dragon claw?"

Ao Guang, however, did not retaliate. Its cold gaze swept back and forth between the two of them, and suddenly it whipped its tail, creating towering waves: "I will make you both pay the price another day!"

Nezha put his hands on his hips and said, "Hehe, why did you run away?"

“It’s not just that,” Fang Yu pointed ahead, “that guy is escaping too.”

Nezha looked into the distance and saw that the dog demon was about to swim out of sight. He immediately panicked, "Dog demon! Don't even think about escaping!"

The Dog Demon King frantically paddled in the water, the sea behind him churning like a boiling pot by Nezha. As it fled, it turned back and roared, "Little brat! My brother, the Crow Demon King, is currently wreaking havoc in Chen Tang Pass! It's too much trouble for you to kill me, you'd better hurry back to help!" Blood spurted from its fangs. "Spare my life, and I will repay you handsomely in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Nezha paused, and the Hun Tian Ling's pursuit speed slowed down slightly.

The dog demon king was secretly delighted and was about to take the opportunity to dive into the deep sea when he suddenly heard a sneer from the shore.

"The Crow Demon King?" Fang Yu stood on the crest of a wave, hands behind his back. "You mean that guy who scatters into crows to escape when he gets hit? I just passed by the mass grave in the west of the city and roasted more than two thousand of them. They should be called charcoal-roasted crows now. It's a pity I didn't kill them, otherwise I would have buried you two brothers together."

The dog demon king's paddling paws suddenly froze, and icy seawater suddenly rushed into his nostrils.

"No, impossible!" Upon hearing that Brother Crow had been driven away, the Dog Demon King was momentarily distracted. Suddenly! It felt something tug at its foot, and when it turned around, its blood turned cold! It was the Chaos Ribbon that had wrapped around its hind leg!
Nezha descended from the sky on his Wind Fire Wheels, a red ribbon wrapped three times around his neck: "You bastard! You tried to fool me, didn't you?!"

The boy kicked the dog demon king in the lower back, and the sound of bones breaking was clearly audible.

"Spare me! I'll give you my demon core!" The dog demon king howled in agony, but Nezha had already swung his arm and flung it towards the rocks!

The sharp reef covered with oysters pierced through the demon's body in an instant, and the Hun Tian Ling twisted around it!
"Click!"

Amidst the rain of blood, only pieces of flesh remained, falling into the sea.

"cruel."

Fang Yu made his assessment, but then heard Nezha say, "I am the Demon Orb!"

On the city wall of Chentang Pass, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the mottled bricks and stones, casting a warm orange-red hue. Soldiers leaned against the battlements in twos and threes, and finally, long-lost relaxed smiles appeared on their faces.

The battlefield below the city has been mostly cleared away, with only a few wisps of demonic energy remaining, drifting in the wind.

Li Jing and Yin Shiniang stood at the city gate, their armor stained with blood and dust, clearly having just gone through a fierce battle.

Yin Shiniang's long hair was a little messy, and the stray hairs on her forehead were stuck to her cheeks with sweat. She was wiping the stains on the sword blade with her sleeve when she suddenly heard a familiar footstep behind her.

"Nezha!" Yin Shiniang turned around abruptly and saw Nezha and Fang Yu walking side by side. Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

She rushed forward in three strides and pulled Nezha into her arms with such force that she almost crushed him into her bones.

"You child! Where did you run off to?! Do you know how worried your mother was?!" Nezha was almost suffocating from being choked. He struggled to peek out from Yin Shiniang's embrace. Just as he was about to explain, he received a sharp rap on the head.

"Ouch!" He clutched his head, his eyes wide with grievance. "Mom! Why did you hit me!"

"Hit you? I'd like to beat you up!" Yin Shiniang's eyes were slightly red, and her voice trembled with lingering fear. "The barrier beast said you suddenly disappeared. I thought you had been captured by a monster!"

Nezha pouted, about to retort, when Fang Yu spoke up at the right moment: "Madam, actually we discovered that the crow demon had taken advantage of the chaos to kidnap a mother and daughter. Nezha chased after them to rescue them, which is why we were delayed."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Fang Yu and Nezha.

"The barrier beast says you vanished into thin air, what's going on?"

Fang Yu remained calm and cupped his hands, saying, "Reporting to the General, this is just a small spell of mine that allows for short-distance teleportation. The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't have time to explain. Please forgive me."

Li Jing stared at Fang Yu for a moment, seemingly trying to discern something from his face, but in the end he just sighed and didn't ask any more questions.

After all, Fang Yu's performance today was remarkable. If it weren't for his help, the losses to Chentang Pass would have been incalculable.

As night fell, a bonfire was lit in the open space in the center of the city.

Soldiers and civilians sat together, sharing food and drinks, their laughter echoing in the night breeze.

Nezha sat on a rock in the corner, holding a skewer of roasted meat in his hand, but he didn't eat it for a long time.

He secretly glanced up and found that many people were quietly observing him, their eyes no longer filled with fear or disgust, but with a hint of gratitude and admiration.

This feeling made him a little uncomfortable, and his cheeks felt slightly hot.

"What, not used to being stared at?" Fang Yu sat down next to him without him noticing, holding a bowl of hot soup.

Nezha lowered his head, wiped his eyes haphazardly with his sleeve, and muttered, "Who, who's not used to it! I was just bothered by the smoke!"

Fang Yu smiled and didn't expose him. "You did a good job today, eliminating the Dog Demon King."

Nezha snorted, but couldn't help but smile. "Of course, I am Nezha!"

The crackling of the distant campfire illuminated Nezha's profile, making the tears in his eyes sparkle.

He took a deep breath and suddenly felt that the long-standing pent-up frustration in his chest seemed to dissipate considerably.

Perhaps, the feeling of protecting others isn't so bad.

But, stories are never that smooth sailing.

Shen Gongbao stood on the reef in the East China Sea, his fingertips forming a hand seal, and seven copper coins floated in an array, each coin wrapped with a wisp of black mist.

"Your Highness, Ao Bing"

"This Chen Tang Pass, you ...

Ao Bing cupped his hands in greeting: "I understand, Master. There's no need to say anything more."

Shen Gongbao grinned, as if he could already see the scene of ice crystals freezing Chen Tang Pass!

But what he didn't know was...
The porridge is waiting.
