Chapter 17 Master, I want to descend the mountain! Please, Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi, let Junior Ne
Master Yu Ding stared blankly at the figure before him, speechless for a moment.
The young man who should have been spirited and dashing in my memory now has a deeper gloom in his eyes.
"Master."
Yang Jian's voice was unusually calm.
It was so calm it was almost unnatural.
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Jade Cauldron Immortal, the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand humming.
"You just said..."
"That person... comprehended the heaven-defying spear intent?"
Master Yu Ding gazed quietly at his beloved disciple.
Looking at Yang Jian's bloodshot eyes, and at the back of his hand where the veins were bulging from gripping the hilt of his sword so tightly.
A moment later.
Master Yu Ding nodded slowly.
"Nezha witnessed it with his own eyes and experienced it firsthand."
"That intent to shoot..."
"Just like you..."
The words fell.
Yang Jian lowered his head slightly, his eyelashes trembling gently.
Deep inside my chest, something seemed to be pounding violently.
After a long silence, Yang Jian's voice was deep and muffled, yet it carried an almost stubborn force.
"Master."
"I want to go down the mountain."
Master Yu Ding lowered his head and gave him a deep look.
Then, he gently swung the whisk in his hand and softly uttered two words.
"Go."
……
At midnight, in Xiqi, dark clouds obscured the moon.
The atmosphere atop Xiqi City was so oppressive it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.
Jiang Ziya stood quietly at the edge of the city wall, his wide robe fluttering in the night wind.
He gazed at the brightly lit Shang army camp in the distance, his brow furrowed since the daytime.
Not far from him, in mid-air.
Nezha crossed his arms in front of his chest, and the Wind Fire Wheels under his feet slowly turned.
His gaze fell on the "Gu" banner fluttering wildly in the wind in the distance, and he remained silent.
A long silence followed...
Jiang Ziya turned to look at Nezha.
He hesitated for a moment, then slowly began, "Nephew Nezha..."
"Today you asked Gu Xuan if he knew Yang Jian, his junior disciple."
He paused, his gaze fixed on Nezha's profile, "In this matter..."
"But what's the explanation?"
Nezha did not reply.
He merely squinted slightly, staring intently at the Shang army camp.
A moment later.
Nezha didn't turn his head, but spoke softly.
"What does my martial uncle think..."
"How many people in this world can truly comprehend the 'Heaven-Defying Spear Intent'?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya's expression changed drastically.
"A spear intent defying the heavens?!"
"You mean... Gu Xuan used a heaven-defying spear intent today?!"
He suddenly remembered an old story that his senior brother Yu Ding had mentioned years ago.
Yang Jian had an elder brother named Yang Jiao.
To protect Yang Jian and Yang Chan, he comprehended the "Heaven-Defying Spear Intent" despite being a mere mortal. He fought fiercely against the celestial soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Court for several days before dying from exhaustion.
Could this person be a reincarnation of Gu Xuan?!
The more Jiang Ziya thought about it, the colder he felt down his back.
only……
The calamity that struck the Heavenly Court in the past was caused by a decree personally issued by the Jade Emperor.
Yang Jian's elder brother...
When both body and soul are annihilated, that's true!
How could someone be reincarnated?
Just as Jiang Ziya's mind was in turmoil.
"Whoosh—!"
A golden streak of light suddenly pierced through the sky!
Nezha's expression hardened, and he quickly raised his hand to summon the jade talisman, probing it with his divine sense.
next second.
Nezha suddenly raised his head, his eyes bursting with uncontrollable ecstatic joy.
"Second Brother..."
"It's coming!"
This barely suppressed cry of surprise echoed across the city walls.
The once lifeless city walls of Xiqi were instantly revitalized, as if injected with a powerful stimulant.
"General Yang Jian is coming?!"
"The first disciple of the third generation of the Chan Sect has emerged from seclusion?!"
"That's great! That's great!"
"General Yang Jian has mastered the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts; he will surely be able to slay that Shang army demon and avenge us!"
The Xiqi generals around him all showed excited expressions of having escaped a desperate situation.
however……
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that a turning point was coming,
Not far away, Jiang Ziya's expression suddenly became extremely stiff.
He stared intently in the direction of the Shang army camp, Nezha's words echoing in his mind.
"A similar intent with guns..."
Jiang Ziya was breathing rapidly, and a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
If this Gu Xuan...
He truly is the reincarnation of Yang Jiao!
Yang Jian's nephew descended the mountain at this critical juncture, for...
What could it be?!
Jiang Ziya turned his head stiffly.
He glanced at Nezha beside him, whose face clearly showed undisguised joy.
Considering Nezha's performance on the battlefield during the day, and the relationship between Nezha and Yang Jian—
"hiss--!"
Jiang Ziya abruptly closed his eyes, unable to bear looking any longer.
A conclusion that made his hands and feet feel cold took shape in his mind.
"No!"
"This must not be allowed to happen!"
Jiang Ziya suddenly opened his eyes, turned around and strode quickly towards the foot of the city wall.
He walked along, lowering his voice and speaking urgently and sternly.
"Someone come here!"
Several of his personal guards stepped forward, trembling with fear.
However......
Jiang Ziya's military order had not yet been issued.
"boom--!"
In the distance, towards the direction of the Shang army's camp.
A beam of azure-gold spear, carrying an extremely sharp and earth-shattering terrifying intent, soared into the sky!
"laugh!"
The sky was filled with pitch-black clouds that suddenly exploded and scattered to both sides!
The bright, clear moon cast its pale light, illuminating the blue-gold pillar of light.
"hiss……"
The people of Xiqi, who had just been feeling fortunate, suddenly trembled.
One by one, they stared blankly at the spear intent that shot straight into the sky.
The faint cry of relief that had just been uttered seemed to be abruptly severed by the spear's edge, coming to an abrupt halt.
Jiang Ziya's steps froze abruptly as he stepped down the stairs, his body completely stiffening on the spot.
He turned around and looked at the blue-gold pillar of light above the Shang army camp, his face extremely grim.
Jiang Ziya stood frozen in place...
Then a gust of biting cold wind blew and slapped his face, waking him up.
Jiang Ziya gritted his teeth, and without further hesitation, quickened his pace and rushed towards the foot of the city wall.
He grabbed the commander of his personal guards beside him and, in a hoarse voice, whispered the order.
"Quickly bring this talisman personally written by this old man and head to the Jade Pillar Cave in Zhongnan Mountain immediately!"
"Please, Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi, let Junior Nephew Lei Zhenzi come out of seclusion!"
"Hurry, at your fastest speed! It's extremely urgent!"
"No, there must be no mistake—!"
……
Meanwhile, in mid-air.
Nezha hovered in place, and even the Wind Fire Wheels beneath his feet stopped spinning.
He stared intently at the soaring azure-gold spear in the distance, motionless.
Feeling that familiar yet strange, terrifying wave that seemed to be announcing its existence to the entire world.
Nezha slowly exhaled.
He lowered his head and looked at the dimmed communication jade talisman in his palm.
Deep within his eyes surged a complex array of emotions, as turbulent as boiling seawater.
For a very long time...
Nezha slowly raised his head.
Looking at the increasingly intense blue-gold pillar of light, he murmured in a low, hoarse voice.
"In this world, there is no one else who can cultivate the Heaven-Defying Spear Intent to such a pure and indomitable degree..."
"Gu Xuan..."
"Brother Yang Jiao..."
"really……"
"Is that you?"
