My Senior Brother is Too Steady
Chapter 685 - My Father, Li Jing of Chentang Pass!

Chapter 685: My Father, Li Jing of Chentang Pass!

“Today, Li Jing’s blood is splattered everywhere. He is risking his life.”

In the backyard of the Li Residence, Li Jing’s shout came from the city wall. Little Nezha was shocked and immediately jumped up from his chair.

“Master! Someone is bullying my father!”

“Don’t be anxious.” Perfected Taiyi was still calm and composed. “Your Uncle-Master Yu Ding and Uncle-Master Huang Long are hiding around your father and protecting him. We can go out and cause trouble when we wait for the news.”

“News?” Little Nezha tilted his head. “What news?”

The Grand Unity Immortal smiled and said, “News from your... I mean, a message from an expert.”

As he spoke, Perfected Taiyi tapped his finger and a cloud mirror appeared in front of him. The situation outside the Li Residence was revealed.

The water surged, and layers of clouds filled the world. The water of the East Ocean swept all the way in a bid to pour into Chentang Pass. Soon, the dam-like city wall rushed out of the gap.

The houses in the city kept collapsing. Immortal light appeared around the Li Residence. The array formation protected a third of the city and blocked the endless seawater.

Yang Jian stood up and frowned. “If the mortals in the city are still around... will the dragon race pay with their lives?”

Perfected Taiyi shook his head and did not say anything. Little Nezha clenched his fists.

“Master, there’s a flood! It’s my favorite teahouse and bun shop. Aunt Cai’s fruit stall is affected too! Who did this!?!”

“Didn’t you kill a little dragon?”

Perfected Taiyi said calmly, “His family did it. Don’t worry. Everyone has been moved away in advance. The dragon race is so rich. After the battle, let them compensate 100 times on the spot.”

Nezha could not help but be stunned. He clenched his fists tightly.

That little dragon seemed to call himself His Highness. His Highness sounded quite powerful.

Mm...

A low horn sounded from the clouds.

The endless seawater collided with the array wall in the city, causing it to flicker.

The clouds above Chentang Pass parted. Four dragon-headed elders slowly descended on a cloud. They were the Sea Dragon Kings of the North, South, East, and West!

Li Jing narrowed his eyes slightly and said loudly, “The dragon race has flooded Chentang Pass. I will definitely report this matter to the Heavenly Courts!”

“Li Jing.” The old Dragon King slowly took a step forward and said coldly, “Do you admit that your third son killed my son, Ao Bing?”

“The dragon race only asks about the outcome, regardless of the reason?”

Li Jing took a deep breath. “That’s right. My son killed your son. As their fathers, let’s fight each other! Why did you take it out on the citizens of Chentang Pass!?!”

The Dragon Kings of the four seas were silent. Dragon heads popped out from the clouds beside them and said to Li Jing coldly, “Blame it on the fact that you’re the commander of Chentang Pass!”

“Li Jing, you have insulted the dragon race several times. This is the price!”

“Price? Hahahahaha!”

Li Jing smiled in anger. He stepped forward and walked between the sky and earth as if there was a ladder under his feet.

Under his feet was raging water, shrimp soldiers and crab generals that were beginning to appear. Above his head were endless dark clouds and azure dragons that kept surging in the dark clouds.

Humans always liked to overestimate themselves.

However, sometimes, he could not retreat or lower his head.

If he retreated, it would be too late for regrets. If he lowered his head, he would be better off dead!

The green sword in Li Jing’s hand trembled. His long hair fluttered, and his robe trembled. His eyes were filled with anger, and orange flames burned in his Dao heart.

Those who bully others will be destroyed!

“Fight!”

“Then I’ll fulfill your wish!”

An azure dragon covered in fiery red scales rushed out from the dark clouds. Its dragon claw, which was 1,000 feet in diameter, smashed towards Li Jing’s forehead. It seemed to want to push Chentang Pass into the ground!

Li Jing was not afraid at all. Even though he felt the pressure that could almost shatter his liver and gallbladder, he still waved his sword and produced sword flashes in the air.

Sword Qi crisscrossed, and sword shadows intertwined like dogs and teeth as they faced the dragon claw.

One sword illuminated the entire Shang Wu and sang the Grand Pure One!

Ding, ding, ding, ding...

The sword Qi collided with the huge dragon claw, but it only made the dragon claw tremble slightly.

The dragon head on the cloud smiled sinisterly. The claw that descended to the mortal world seemed to be about to be crushed!

Buzz!

The Dao runes exploded, and a jade-colored halo swept in all directions. The dragon claw with boundless power suddenly stopped. The violent wind that the dragon claw carried still surged downwards, but the dragon claw strangely stopped in midair.

Under the dragon claw, Li Jing was above him. The seemingly ordinary figure that was not surprising stood with his hands behind his back. The shadow of a four-legged square tripod enveloped him.

The person was Perfected Yu Ding.

Yu Ding raised his hand and pressed it down. Li Jing’s figure, which was rushing upwards, slowly landed on Chentang Pass.

Perfected Yu Ding sighed slowly and said, “The dragon race still has a way out.”

The Dragon King of the East Ocean frowned and remained silent. A dragon elder rushed out from the side and shot dozens of streams of light at Perfected Yu Ding.

Perfected Yu Ding’s sleeve trembled. The image of the huge cauldron around him soared into the sky and expanded in the wind. In the blink of an eye, it’s diameter increased to 10,000 feet and absorbed the old dragon’s attacks.

“You’re stubborn.”

Perfected Yu Ding slowly closed his eyes. Then, he suddenly opened them. His eyes were pale-white. He looked up and glared at the azure dragons that filled the sky. His figure rushed into the sky!

“Then I’ll help you gain enlightenment.”

Ah...

In the Li Residence, nine fiery azure dragons soared into the sky.

The West Ocean Dragon King and the North Ocean Dragon King moved at the same time. The moment Perfected Yu Ding crashed into the dark clouds, the hundreds of azure dragons transformed into human forms and suppressed the jade cauldron with mystical abilities and Dharma treasures.

If they fought with more people, they would suffer too much. The dragon race had fought in ancient times. How could they not understand such a simple logic?

When the two Dragon Kings waved their sleeves and fought Perfected Yu Ding, the battle today had completely erupted!

Perfected Taiyi walked over. He was dressed in a red Daoist robe. The corners of his mouth were sealed by immortal power, but he did not say a word.

There were too many experts in the dragon race. He and Yu Ding could not restrain too many of them. Even if Perfected Yu Ding did not hold back, there were too many people in the dragon race who could stop Perfected Yu Ding for a few moments.

Perfected Taiyi held the Divine Flame Shield and chased after Perfected Yu Ding. However, he was quickly surrounded by the experts of the dragon race.

Yang Jian leaped out with his spear and jumped into the sky. Without a word, he revealed the tip of his spear.

When facing the Sixth Saint, Yang Jian would even shout his name.

He did not say anything to these dragons.

The three immortals of Chan School rushed into the Dragon Array at Chentang Pass!

Li Jing gritted his teeth. A weak flame burned on his forehead. His body turned into a white light and rushed into the sky. His gaze was fixed on the Dragon King of the East Ocean!

The Dragon King of the East Ocean suddenly attacked when he saw that. He pressed down with his palm. Dozens of water pillars exploded in the city. They each turned into huge blue palms and smashed them at Li Jing.

The sword in Li Jing’s hand flashed wildly. Sword Qi flashed and his figure rushed left and right. However, due to his cultivation level, he was hit by the water pillar that surrounded him. He spat out blood and was slapped back onto the roof of a tall building in the city, creating a deep hole.

“Husband...”

In the distant mountains outside the city, Lady Yin almost fainted. The paper effigy beside her used his immortal power to stop her from rushing over.

The Dragon King of the East Ocean lowered his eyes and hesitated. However, he raised his palm again.

“Don’t hurt my father!”

With the childish exclamation, a stream of light rushed out of the Li Residence’s array formation and streaked above the Pool Kingdom, turning into a young child.

The Heavenly Silk of Confusion danced continuously behind him. The spear in his hand was wrapped in flames, and the Wind-Fire Wheels under his feet whistled. The Universe Ring that was rapidly circling around him left behind afterimages!

Two nodes lit up on the bracelet on his left wrist.

Two balls of flames were reflected in Nezha’s eyes. He floated above the hole in the roof of the tall building and took a deep breath.

The Dragon King’s palm had already landed again. This time, it condensed into a green dragon claw. Although it was only hundreds of feet in diameter, there were black clouds surrounding the dragon claw.

The Dao runes were about to tear Nezha’s essence soul apart.

Nezha roared as the third node on his wrist lit up.

Tap.

That was the sound of someone gently pressing on his shoulder.

Nezha was ultimately a child. At that moment, he turned his head in shock. His attention was easily diverted. It was as if the power of his essence soul was comparable to a Golden Immortal, but he was still not good at immortal senses.

“Father...”

Nezha shouted in a daze. He looked at the familiar figure who was holding him down but looking up at the sky.

He subconsciously raised his hand to grab it, but Li Jing, who was wrapped in flames, was already running at a rather fast speed. Nezha could only extend his hand towards his father’s back.

Something seemed to be moving in his Dao heart.

“Nezha, you have to be diligent when cultivating and studying. Don’t be so lazy!”

“The treasure is meant for you to protect yourself, not for you to play tricks on others! If you use this treasure to play tricks on others again, I will take care of it for you. I have to go and argue with your master!”

“My son, Nezha, I can only teach you the principles of being a human. I can’t walk this life for you.”

“Don’t waste your talent, but don’t give yourself too much pressure. You were just born and you’re not even in your first month. Why should I tell you that...? You live your life for yourself. Don’t tire yourself out. As long as I’m still alive, you don’t have to live for any mission or expectations.”

A huge dragon claw slapped down.

Nezha did not know why he had all kinds of emotions. All kinds of emotions seemed to be his, but they also did not seem to belong to him.

Li Jing raised his head and roared. Layers of power of Essence Soul appeared on the sword in his hand. His entire body was wrapped in golden light. It was the light of his essence soul burning violently.

The troops of Chentang Pass, Li Jing, are here!

The sword rises to become an immortal, and I will ascend to the heavens!

“Ah!”

Amidst the angry roar, sword light surged. However, facing the dragon claw, it was like a candle in the heavy rain that was about to be extinguished.

In the sky, Perfected Yu Ding and Perfected Taiyi, who were fighting the dragons, suddenly turned around!

When Yang Jian saw that something was amiss, he hurriedly opened the divine eye on his forehead. A beam of divine light rushed towards the claw mark that the East Ocean Dragon King had made!

“Universe Ring!”

An exclamation that was full of endless anger suddenly came from behind Nezha!

The flow of time seemed to have slowed down for a moment. A beam of golden light flashed, and Li Jing’s figure flew out strangely. When he focused, he realized that it was the Cosmic Trap that had captured Li Jing’s figure and pulled him far to the left.

The Golden Roc, who was hiding in the dark, heaved a sigh of relief. He, who had not received the voice transmission, was just short of rushing out to save someone.

Even if he was punished by his teacher later, he could not watch such a man be killed by the Dragon King.

At this moment!

Above Chentang Pass, a long spear flew into the sky like an arrow shot from a bow. The flames on it exploded again and again. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a thousand feet in diameter and shattered the phantom dragon claw!

The shattered flames fell like rain, and the world suddenly darkened.

“You want to kill my father?”

The East Ocean Dragon King frowned and looked down.

There, Little Nezha closed his eyes. A young man wrapped in black aura appeared behind him. The young man opened his eyes and looked up at the sky. His voice sounded.

“Hmph!”

The Dragon King snorted coldly. Two old dragons walked forward from the side. One of them held a sword and the other held a spear. Their gazes were fixed on Nezha’s figure.

Nezha suddenly raised his hands and pointed his sword. His body was wrapped in flames. The figure behind him and the small body closed their eyes and spoke at the same time. Their voices gradually merged.

“There is a Dao source. The Dharma gives birth to the image. Two is one, and the True Spirit exists.”

The young phantom transformed into wisps of black gas and entered Nezha’s body. Nezha’s figure slowly grew. His short shirt was torn, and his two hair bags were untied by themselves, turning into fiery red long hair.

He raised his hand and the Fire-Pointed Spear flew over. With a soft clang, he grabbed it.

His shoulders trembled slightly, and four arms appeared behind him. He held the Cosmic Ring, the Heavenly Silk of Chaos, the Yin-Yang Sword, and the golden brick!

Magi battle technique, Fire God Dharma Body.

“Ling Zhuzi...”

Perfected Taiyi shouted with a trembling voice.

“Master.” The young Nezha looked up at the Dragon King of the East Ocean. “I, Nezha, was born at Chentang Pass. I’m a human and my murderous aura has tainted my essence soul. If I completely lose control today, Master, please suppress me. I will die without regrets.”

The Wind-Fire Wheel let out an ear-piercing whistle. The flames around Nezha kept gathering. He seemed to be stepping on the bowstring and pressing it again and again!

The old dragon with the spear whispered, “Nezha! As long as you commit suicide here today, we can spare your family’s lives.”

“Suicide?”

Nezha sneered and pointed his spear at the sky. “Even if I’m killed by you today, I’ll kill you. My father said that a real man should punish the strong and help the weak! Today, the dragon race destroyed my Chentang Pass. We will fight to the death and see who is stronger! My father is Li Jing, the commander of Chentang Pass! Wind-Fire Wheel! Quick—”

...

...

That day, a sun hung above Chentang Pass.

That day, the three bracelets that had been on Nezha’s wrist for a long time quietly shattered.

The flames shone brightly, and water filled the sky.

The azure dragon continued to roar. The figure circling in the sky waved his spear. Wisps of murderous aura surrounded him, but his eyes remained clear.

However, he was ultimately outnumbered.

When the dragon blood splattered across the marsh, a few figures were trapped near the Li Residence’s array formation. The dragon-headed elders surrounded them.

Perfected Yu Ding activated his immortal power and tried his best to hold on. Blood seeped out of the corners of Perfected Taiyi’s mouth. Yang Jian’s armor was shattered. His majestic body was covered in wounds, but he was still helping his master support the barrier.

Nezha was almost exhausted. At that moment, he knelt on the water surface wrapped in immortal power with his spear. He kept trying to stand up, but his body kept trembling.

Li Jing was extremely weak at that moment. The price of burning his essence soul was extremely difficult for him to even move a finger.

“Nezha...”

Li Jing called softly.

Nezha smiled bitterly and muttered, “I was rash. I caused a calamity for Chentang Pass.”

“Are you that young man?” Li Jing asked in a trembling voice.

Nezha shook his head gently. “I’m your third son, Nezha.”

“Ah, at the end of the day, I’m just useless.” Li Jing took a deep breath and said feebly, “However, remember, you didn’t cause trouble. It’s just that justice and morality come a little late. Things in the world would often be like that. Don’t be angry or indignant because of this. If you want to walk the right path, you have to have a clear conscience...”

He supported himself with the broken sword and slowly sat up. He called Perfected Taiyi softly. The Taiyi suddenly attacked and pointed at Nezha’s extremely weak essence soul.

Li Jing smiled at Nezha. His body was wrapped in the last immortal power and slowly floated up.

In the sky, the Dragon King of the East Ocean raised his hand and gestured. The streams of light that filled the sky temporarily stopped and stared at Li Jing’s figure.

Li Jing flew out of Perfected Yu Ding’s barrier and stood upright with the broken sword in hand.

“Today, I, Li Jing, am willing to use my life to repay the Third Prince of the East Ocean Dragon Palace.”

A dragon elder whispered, “Do you know your crime?”

Li Jing turned to look at Nezha, whose eyes were wide open. He said calmly, “I’m just paying with my life. What crime? The Dragon Palace is not a human emperor or the Heavenly Courts. Why should you convict me, Li Jing?”

The leader of the dragons cursed, “You don’t know how to repent! Kill them all!”

Li Jing gripped his sword hilt tightly and glared at the hundreds of dragon-headed elders in the sky. His body trembled slightly...

“Alright, I!”

At this moment!

Before Li Jing could say the word “admit”, a cold snort sounded from the sky. The sky that was originally filled with dark clouds suddenly shone with a ray of sunlight.

A white-haired old Daoist priest sat cross-legged in the clouds and slowly descended.

He held a horsetail whisk in his hand and a small pagoda floated on his shoulder. There was a Yin-Yang Taiji Painting circling behind him. He was originally kind-looking, but now, his expression was cold.

The mysterious Dao runes circulated and the dragons instantly stopped talking.

That gaze swept across, and no one present could look at him.

With a sweep of the horsetail whisk in his hand, the dark clouds that filled the sky were suddenly illuminated by golden beams of light. The golden beams of light connected the sky and the ground. Dense and orderly golden-armored Heavenly Soldiers flew out from within.

Screech...

The eagle’s cry was a little ear-piercing. At the corner of the city wall of Chentang Pass, a Golden Roc spread its wings and instantly appeared in midair, blocking in front of Li Jing.

Perfected Yu Ding shook his head slightly. He held the small tripod and stood up again.

Not far away, dozens of streams of light flew from the west. The first person was Guang Chengzi, the middle-aged immortal of the Jade Void Palace who had attacked the Golden Bell.

Behind him, Perfected Huang Long, who had a complicated expression, Chi Jingzi, who was burning with anger, Yun Zhongzi, Wen Shu, and Samantabhadra...

The disciples of the Saints and the experts of Chan School.

Li Changshou looked at the people from Chan School and then at the old men with dragon heads below. His horsetail whisk swept over again. Waves exploded above the East Ocean, forming azure dragons that were wrapped in the rich power of the Heavenly Dao, sealing the dragon race’s retreat.

His indifferent voice spread everywhere, but he asked the dragon, “Who was the one who said that he was guilty just now?”
