Chapter 84

On the top of Mount Muyun, ancient trees formed a forest. Under a lush, large tree, a white figure stood, gazing at the vast, boundless Beihai Sea, a hint of coldness on his lips, and a look of arrogance and self-confidence in his eyes.

Tomorrow was the day of the decisive battle, and Yang Zhen was finally going to face the top experts in the current Three Realms. Every time he thought about it, he always felt an inexplicable excitement.

Yang Zhen thought about all his previous battles. His opponents were either too weak, or he relied on the Three Pure Fires to win. Although he had mostly won in his past battles, he never felt much sense of achievement after defeating his enemies. Perhaps deep down, Yang Zhen also hoped that one day he could defeat his opponents with his weapon skills.

Early the next morning, Yang Zhen flew to the island where the Jiaowang and others were with Li Jing and others. After arriving at the unnamed island, someone went to challenge them. Soon, the Bull Demon King, the Jiaowang, and the other four great demon kings flew out from the cave and stood in the air, facing Yang Zhen and his group.

Looking at the four people opposite, Yang Zhen suddenly thought of a question. He flew to the side of the Beihai Dragon King and asked, "Dragon King, do you know why the Jiaowang suddenly turned against you? Weren't you two always on good terms? Why this time..."

"Alas!" The Beihai Dragon King sighed and said, "I don't know either. Perhaps the Jiaowang has some misunderstanding about us."

Yang Zhen nodded upon hearing this and did not ask further. Since the Beihai Dragon King did not know the reason, the problem was likely with the Jiaowang. However, since they were now opponents, everything would be settled after subduing the other side.

As the two sides of the battle, Yang Zhen's side included Yang Zhen, Yang Jian, Nezha, Li Jing, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Four Sea Dragon Kings, and twenty-four of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, a total of thirty-six deities. This force was extremely powerful, and in the current Three Realms, no other force could match them except for the Buddhist and Taoist sects and the demon race.

However, the demon race was now a scattered group, no longer a significant force.

On the other side, although there were only four people, as the great sages of the demon race, each of them was exceptionally powerful. Although Yang Zhen's side had a numerical advantage, they were weaker in the number of 'Golden Immortals.'

"Ox Demon King, we meet again." As the main character of this battle, although Yang Zhen's position was not high, he clearly had the right to speak first.

Seeing Yang Zhen again, the Ox Demon King's eyes narrowed, and a fierce aura emanated from his body, clearly thinking of something unpleasant.

After being defeated by Yang Zhen last time, the Ox Demon King had originally wanted to gather his brothers to take revenge on Yang Zhen, but he was stopped by Sun Wukong. However, he never expected that after more than three hundred years, the two of them would have another chance to face each other. The Ox Demon King had been looking forward to this opportunity to avenge his past defeat for a long time.

"Yes, it's been about three hundred years," the Ox Demon King said coldly.

Yang Zhen smiled and said, "Now that we are on different sides, it seems we are destined to be enemies."

"Hmph!" The Ox Demon King snorted and said angrily, "This time, I will tear you to pieces!"

Yang Zhen tilted his head and smiled, "Come on!"

Before the Ox Demon King could speak, Yang Zhen transformed into a white light and charged forward. In mid-air, he summoned the Qingming Sword, performed a few sword techniques, and thrust it at the Ox Demon King.

"Huh!?" Just halfway through his flight, a white figure blocked Yang Zhen's path. It was Yang Jian. Yang Zhen laughed lightly and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"Leave this one to me!" Yang Jian said.

It turned out that in the previous major battles, Yang Jian had always fought the Ox Demon King. Yang Jian was also a battle maniac, and it was rare for him to find an opponent who could match him. He naturally wanted to determine who was superior to the Ox Demon King. However, their cultivation and strength were almost equal, and every time they fought, Yang Jian could only gain a slight advantage. Before they could reach a conclusion, the others on their side would be unable to continue, and Li Jing would have to call off the battle, leaving Yang Jian unsatisfied.

This time, Yang Jian had already planned to lure the Ox Demon King to a distant place and fight until a conclusion was reached before returning.

Before Yang Zhen could say anything, Yang Jian leaped into the air above the Ox Demon King and swung his three-pronged spear at him, shouting, "Ox Demon King, we must determine a winner today."

Although the Ox Demon King very much wanted to fight Yang Zhen and avenge his past defeat, he could not ignore Yang Jian's formidable strength. Since Yang Jian had already attacked, the Ox Demon King had no choice but to focus on him.

"Anyway, they're both surnamed Yang. Killing either one is fine!" the Ox Demon King thought to himself.

As soon as Yang Jian engaged the Ox Demon King, Nezha used his spear to challenge the Monkey King and flew away.

Since losing to Sun Wukong at Huaguo Mountain, Nezha had never had a good impression of the monkey. In this battle at Beihai, he naturally would not let the opportunity pass, so every time the Heavenly Court fought the four demons, Nezha would choose the Monkey King to fight, seemingly harboring a grudge against the monkey.

Looking at the remaining Lion Demon King and Jiaowang, Yang Zhen thought, "This time, I'll start by comparing weapon skills with him. If I can't win, I'll use the Three Pure Fires next time."

To avoid letting the opponent know he had information about the Jiaowang, Yang Zhen directly charged at the two demons, wanting to see who would face him.

Sure enough, due to his fear of Yang Zhen's Three Pure Fires, the Jiaowang did not wait for Yang Zhen to choose his opponent and immediately took out his Soul-Splitting Spear to attack Yang Zhen.

In mid-air, the sword and spear clashed hundreds of times in an instant. The Qingming Sword and the Soul-Splitting Spear were both top-tier weapons, and the intense collision of these two supreme divine weapons created a dazzling display of sword and spear energy, making the sky colorful and beautiful. However, beneath this stunning beauty, there was also a hidden danger of death.

After the final clash, the Jiaowang remained unmoved, while Yang Zhen was pushed back a hundred meters by the Jiaowang's force.

Although Yang Zhen was not injured, it was clear that he was no match for the Jiaowang. Seeing this, Li Jing and the others, who were watching from a distance, wanted to come to his aid but were stopped by Kuimulang. Looking at the puzzled crowd, Kuimulang explained, "Don't worry, Brother Yang still has many tricks up his sleeve. Even if he is at a disadvantage, he won't be defeated so quickly."

Although the Jiaowang had learned a bit about Yang Zhen from the Ox Demon King, from their recent confrontation, Yang Zhen was not his match. Moreover, the Jiaowang was confident that he had a way to deal with the Three Pure Fires, so he put aside his wariness of Yang Zhen.

The Jiaowang believed that he could defeat or even kill Yang Zhen within a quarter of an hour.

But how could Yang Zhen be so simple? He laughed lightly, and a golden light flashed around him as he used the 'Heavenly Deity Protection' skill. The level 5 'Heavenly Deity Protection' could increase a character's attack by 60% and their maximum health by 60% for 30 minutes.

This greatly enhanced Yang Zhen's strength.
