He muttered to himself, his tone tinged with surprise, yet also subtly revealing a hint of interest.
"Interesting. I'd like to see how much this monkey is capable of, and whether his apprentice can defeat me."
Yang Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sharp as an eagle's, staring at the majestic demon monkey in front of him!
[But at that moment, the once calm sky suddenly changed dramatically. Thick, inky clouds rapidly gathered, layer upon layer pressing down on the earth, as if to devour the entire world.]
[Accompanied by the deep, thunderous roar of war drums, Yang Jian, clad in armor and wielding a three-pointed, double-edged sword, stood atop the clouds.]
Behind him, celestial soldiers, clad in impeccable golden armor, stood ready with their spears, their tips gleaming coldly against the backdrop of dark clouds, resembling a steel forest.
The blood-red clouds, like a thick fog, obscured the sky and earth, and the overwhelming pressure was suffocating.
Erlang Shen Yang Jian's gaze was like lightning as he looked down at Chen Xiang, his eyes revealing an unwavering determination and ruthlessness, as if any force that stood in his way would be mercilessly crushed.
"You have defied the Heavenly Court, your sins are grave, I will never forgive you!"
Facing Erlang Shen's imposing presence, Chenxiang showed no fear: "Uncle, you harmed my mother and so many innocent people. Today, I'm here to fight you to the death!"
Yang Jian wielded a three-pointed, double-edged sword, while Chen Xiang brandished a mountain-splitting axe. The two fought on a narrow bridge, their weapons flashing beneath them, above a raging lake of fire.
[Chenxiang was outmatched in close combat and nearly fell into the fiery lake to be burned to death. Fortunately, the White Dragon Horse came to his rescue, allowing Chenxiang to escape danger and continue fighting Yang Jian on equal terms!]
...
All the immortals in the heavens were worried for Chenxiang as he repeatedly fell into a disadvantageous position.
"Chenxiang's skills are still inferior to Yang Jian's."
"The strength of the number one war god in the Three Realms is not just for show!"
"Yes, I really don't know how he defeated Yang Jian. After all, Yang Jian not only achieved physical immortality and was incredibly strong in close combat, but also had countless magical treasures and other spells at his disposal."
It is important to know that Yang Jian is not only skilled in close combat, but also possesses a variety of magical treasures, such as the Howling Celestial Dog, which can launch attacks unexpectedly, and the mysterious Heavenly Eye, which can perceive the opponent's weaknesses and hidden methods.
Not to mention the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, the Map of Mountains and Rivers, the Mountain-Driving Whip, the Golden Bow and Silver Bullets, and countless other techniques!
The immortals were very curious about this.
...
The story of the Lotus Lantern has been passed down through the world, at the mouth of the Guanjiang River.
Yang Jian held his wine cup, hesitating to drink: "Chenxiang's strength seems a bit lacking."
His gaze was fixed on the weaker Chenxiang, his mind churning with doubt, and he unconsciously fell into deep thought...
He simply couldn't understand how Chenxiang, with the strength he was displaying at that moment, could defeat him.
At this moment, Nezha's little head peeked over, and seeing Yang Jian's conflicted expression, he couldn't help but laugh:
"Hey, Yang Jian, don't underestimate me. Didn't you cause a ruckus in Heaven back then, giving the Jade Emperor a real headache?"
Nezha crossed his arms and wore a teasing smile.
Seeing that Yang Jian was still deep in thought, Nezha continued:
"Your nephew may only be slightly inferior in close combat, but he might be more powerful than you in other magical weapons and spells."
As Nezha spoke, he gently nudged Yang Jian with his elbow.
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian paused slightly, then nodded thoughtfully.
Perhaps, Chenxiang also possesses hidden strengths unknown to others, or perhaps it was through some special opportunity that he was able to overcome himself.
With this thought, Yang Jian's doubts seemed to be resolved somewhat. He looked at Chen Xiang again, his eyes filled with scrutiny and contemplation.
...
The world of the Lotus Lantern, Mount Hua.
Chenxiang and the Third Holy Mother stood side by side, witnessing Yang Jian's fierce attacks, which were like a storm.
Everyone wore solemn expressions, their hearts churning with turmoil.
Chenxiang's eyes widened, filled with shock and tension.
He knew that Erlang Shen Yang Jian was renowned, but he never expected that witnessing his power would be so breathtaking.
In that brief exchange just now, I was almost killed by Yang Jian's attack!
At this moment, Chenxiang couldn't help but marvel, "Uncle is so powerful!"
His tone conveyed both awe of Yang Jian's formidable strength and a hint of resentment.
The Holy Mother of the Third also looked surprised, a hint of worry flashing in her beautiful eyes.
She knew how powerful Yang Jian was, and she also knew that Chen Xiang would ultimately win.
Seeing Chenxiang's difficult situation in front of Yang Jian, as a mother, she felt heartache and worry.
She softly echoed, "Yes, Second Brother's strength is unfathomable."
The Third Holy Mother's voice trembled slightly, as if she had not yet recovered from the powerful aura that Yang Jian had just displayed.
"Mother, don't be afraid, I will definitely win in the end!" Chenxiang said firmly.
Despite knowing that Yang Jian was incredibly powerful, their eyes still showed determination!
...
"Where did you learn your kung fu?" Yang Jian asked.
"My master is Sun Wukong!" Chenxiang replied proudly.
"Sun Wukong?" Yang Jian continued, "No matter how powerful you are, you can't escape my Heaven-Sweeping Cloak!"
Yang Jian waved his hand, unleashing the Sky-Sweeping Cloak; in an instant, the world changed color.
The once blood-red sky was instantly shrouded in darkness, and the billowing cloak, like a vast black ocean, swept in, engulfing everything!
Its sheer scale and power were so terrifying that even the sky seemed to lose its color!
A sense of overwhelming pressure washed over Chenxiang.
...
All the immortals stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief and astonishment.
They knew Yang Jian's methods inside and out, but they had never seen such a strange and powerful treasure before.
"The Sky-Waving Cloak, what kind of magical artifact is that?"
"The magic weapon used by Erlang Shen must be extraordinary! It is definitely a top-tier magic artifact that we have never seen before!"
"I have never heard of Yang Jian using such a treasure before. He has kept it hidden so well."
The immortals gasped in amazement, staring intently at the cloak that seemed to blot out the sky, filled with curiosity about the origin of this mysterious magical artifact.
I want to witness the power of this magical artifact!
...
The world of Journey to the West, Flower and Fruit Mountain.
Sun Wukong was watching intently as Yang Jian unleashed his Heaven-Sweeping Cloak in the sky.
He couldn't help but scratch his head, his monkey eyes full of doubt and contemplation, muttering, "Back when he fought me, why didn't I ever see him use this Sky-Sweeping Cloak?"
Sun Wukong recalled his past battle with Yang Jian, in which the two fought fiercely and were evenly matched. Yang Jian used almost all his skills, but never managed to bring out this magic weapon.
His eyes darted around, as if he had just realized something. He slapped his thigh and exclaimed in sudden realization, "I get it! This must be the ultimate magic weapon! The most treasured artifact I've ever seen before!"
In Sun Wukong's view, given Yang Jian's personality, he would never easily reveal this trump card unless absolutely necessary.
This Sky-Waving Cloak is clearly not comparable to ordinary magical treasures.
Presumably, when Yang Jian fought against him back then, he hadn't reached the point of desperation, or he was worried about revealing this magic weapon too early and letting others know its secrets.
Now, facing Chenxiang, perhaps realizing the difficulty of the situation, he has resorted to this ultimate weapon in order to achieve a quick victory.
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong felt relieved.
He then continued reading.
I'm planning to see how Chenxiang deciphered the Heaven-Waving Cloak, Erlang Shen's Law of Heaven and Earth, and the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts!
...
[94] The first person in Heaven to release the sea! Sun Wukong mocks! Howling Celestial Dog howls! Nezha is dumbfounded! Yang Jian blushes!
The story of the Lotus Lantern has been passed down through the world, at the mouth of the Guanjiang River.
Nezha and the Meishan brothers watched Yang Jian unleash his "Sky-Waving Cloak" with great curiosity.
Nezha blinked his bright eyes and asked first, "Second brother, where did you get this Sky-Waving Cloak? I've never seen you use it before!"
The Meishan brothers nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with anticipation as they awaited Yang Jian's reply.
"Yes, brother, what exactly happened?"
"Did you secretly get your hands on some kind of magic weapon without our knowledge?!"
Yang Jian frowned, lost in deep thought.
He frantically searched his memory, but couldn't recall when he had acquired this magical artifact.
