Chapter 139 Heavenly Soldiers and Generals may sound impressive, but most of the time they're just for show.

The Bull Demon King grew increasingly frustrated as the fight progressed. In the past, he could always overpower others with sheer force, but now, while these people were not as strong as him, they were still quite powerful, and most importantly, there were many of them!

Chenxiang attacked from the left, Aochun from the right, the old fox drew fire from the front, Dingxiang attacked from behind, and Xiaoyu roamed around, occasionally using the Heaven-Splitting Palm to strike unexpectedly, making the Bull Demon King dizzy and disoriented. By the time Liu Yanchang finally mustered up the courage to enter the fray, the once mighty Great Sage Equaling Heaven was already covered in wounds and could only gasp for breath.

In the end, the Bull Demon King died a miserable death at the hands of a group of "greenhorns." His massive body crashed to the ground, shattering a large section of the floor tiles in the Clean Altar Temple.

Shen Yi immediately collected the body and prepared to forge it into a set of armor. He even had a name in mind: "Black Rhino Armor."

.

However, before the armor could even be forged, Yang Jian finally returned with 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals.

Pigsy: ————

I'm tired. Let's destroy it!

This time, the lineup is quite impressive, far surpassing the Heavenly Court's siege of the Yang Mansion. What's even more amazing is that all the gods from back then are here, except for the Great Golden Crow.

Yang Jian: Yeah, why is the Great Golden Crow missing? It's so hard to guess. Sigh, my hands are itching. I don't even know where I lost my axe.

Yang Jian stood on a cloud, holding the Wind-Fixing Pearl. His three-pointed, double-edged sword gleamed coldly in the sunlight. His expression was majestic, and his voice boomed: "Shen Yi! Hand over the Third Holy Mother and her son, and come with me back to Heaven to be punished. I can guarantee your life!"

Behind him, Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, personally led the charge, Nezha, the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas, served as the vanguard, the Four Heavenly Kings lined up on the left and right, and the Giant Spirit God stood in front of the formation carrying a mountain-splitting axe. Behind him were densely packed heavenly soldiers and generals, their silver armor as white as snow, and their banners obscuring the sun.

"Yang Jian, enough talk, let's fight."

Shen Yi was too lazy to waste words with him. In the end, isn't the Three Realms all about strength?

In the original story, why did Yang Jian have Chen Xiang lead everyone to rebel against Heaven? On one hand, it was justifiable, and on the other hand, it was because the Jade Emperor was equally powerful. In the prequel, although the Jade Emperor could suppress Yao Ji under the mountain by throwing down a peach, Yang Jian's Axe of Hatred could kill the Ten Golden Crows and make them flee in panic, but it could not cut the chains that the Jade Emperor had set up.

You can certainly say that the Jade Emperor himself is mediocre and relies entirely on the Heavenly Laws to exert his power, but if a gun is in someone's hand, what you should be afraid of is that person, not the gun itself.

"Pretty arrogant!"

Nezha in "The Lotus Lantern" is not the female-looking, male-bodied lotus boy from the prequel. Although he also has a baby face, he is about the same height as Chenxiang, and looks like a young man who is just starting out. His personality is also like that, and he immediately stepped forward to challenge.

The one who accepted the challenge was the old fox, Pigsy: ————

I'm tired. Let's destroy it!

Although the old fox was somewhat annoyed at not being able to defeat the Bull Demon King, and since Nezha's Universe Ring was specifically designed to counter the Bull Demon King, his strength was actually inferior to the Bull Demon King's, so he also attacked without any hesitation.

Although Nezha is often jokingly referred to as the leader of the three traitors in Heaven, he is no less formidable in a real fight.

However, the old fox was no slouch either. He unleashed the first move of the Heaven-Splitting Palm, his palm wind as sharp as a knife, smashing down on Nezha with the power of splitting the heavens and earth.

Although her Heaven-Splitting Palm technique is similar to Fifth Brother's, only having the form but not the meaning, it doesn't matter. Now she's incredibly strong and can send bricks flying!

Nezha quickly parried with his spear. The Fire-Tipped Spear collided with the palm strike, producing a deafening metallic clang. The flames on the Wind-Fire Wheels were dimmed by the palm wind, and Nezha was sent flying dozens of feet before he could finally regain his footing.

"Again!"

Nezha's fighting spirit was also aroused. He was naturally warlike, and he had been bored to death in the Heavenly Court for years. He had finally met someone who could fight, so how could he let him go?

The two exchanged blows, fighting fiercely until the sky darkened. The Heaven-Splitting Palm clashed with the Universe Ring, and Foxfire with the Wind-Fire Wheel. One grew more ferocious with each fight, while the other became more courageous.

Li Jing stood on the cloud, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper. He quietly took out the exquisite pagoda, preparing to suppress the old fox when he was off guard.

Just as the pagoda made its move, a seven-colored light descended from the sky, blasting the exquisite pagoda away.

The Holy Mother of the Three Kingdoms, holding a lotus lantern, stands on the roof of the Jingtan Temple, her robes fluttering, her gaze serene and cold.

"King Li, are you planning to start a war right now?"

Li Jing glanced at the pagoda that had been blasted away, his face darkening. Then he looked at the Lotus Lantern in the hands of the Third Holy Mother, weighed the pros and cons, and silently put the pagoda back.

Just kidding, that's the Lotus Lantern. His exquisite pagoda is also a treasure, but compared to the divine artifact personally passed down by the Goddess Nuwa, it's just a little brother.

Most importantly, in a real melee, he would be the one at the biggest disadvantage. After all, although the heavenly soldiers and generals sound impressive, they are mostly just there for the atmosphere. Just look at Chenxiang, Yang Jian, Sun Wukong, and even Nezha; when they wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, they were all alone, and one person was enough to turn the Heavenly Court upside down.

However, Nezha soon discovered that although the old fox's magic power was clearly inferior to his own, his stamina seemed inexhaustible. Each of his palms was as heavy as a mountain, making Nezha's tiger's mouth numb. On the other hand, the old fox himself was not red in the face or out of breath, as if he could fight another three hundred rounds.

This is somewhat similar to Sun Wukong back then. That guy had an indestructible body, and even the Demon-Slaying Platform couldn't cut off his head.

With this thought in mind, he lost interest in continuing the fight. After all, what he wanted was a thrilling battle, not just some tedious forging.

Nezha quickly changed his mind and exchanged dozens more blows with the old fox. He deliberately exposed an opening and let the old fox strike his shoulder with a palm. Using the force, he flew backward and crashed back into the heavenly soldier formation in an exaggerated parabola, rolling three times in the clouds before coming to a stop.

"Father!"

Nezha clutched his shoulder, looking at Li Jing with a pained expression, "Your subject is injured! I can't win! Please go!"

Li Jing: ————

Could the acting be any more exaggerated?

They were evenly matched just a moment ago, and now one palm strike and he's injured?

Li Jing's face was ashen as he looked around. The Four Heavenly Kings kept their eyes down, pretending not to see anything, while the Giant Spirit God had already hidden his axe behind him. The heavenly soldiers and generals behind him all took a step back in unison.

"All troops, attack!"

Li Jing finally issued the most foolish order. There was no other way; Yang Jian was not under his command, and he might not be willing to fight. Moreover, the Four Heavenly Kings and the Giant Spirit God were not as strong as Nezha.

Therefore, the only option now is to win by sheer numbers. Although this will result in heavy casualties, he can still accept these casualties compared to a crushing defeat.

One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals surged toward the Jingtan Temple like a silver tide, and then they encountered the most bizarre battle of their lives.

Because of her extraordinary abilities and lack of outlets for power, Dingxiang, who was like a husky, was the first to rush out and punched the leader of the heavenly soldiers at the front. The heavenly soldier flew out like a kite with a broken string, knocking over more than a dozen of his colleagues along the way, creating a long gap in the silver tide.

Chenxiang followed closely behind, his heat vision sweeping across the area. However, he didn't use his full strength directly; he simply shot out like a bullet and then stopped, burning through the armor on the heavenly soldier's chest and sending him flying.

The formation was thrown into chaos, and the heavenly soldiers in the front ranks retreated in droves, colliding with those rushing up from the back.
