As Yun Dandan unleashed her power this time, the prosperous capital was razed to the ground. A large number of heavenly soldiers perished on the spot, their bodies transforming into meteors and plummeting from the sky.
The Linglong Pagoda shattered, and Li Jing was caught in the backlash. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.
Nezha, who had fallen to the ground, also had his legs and feet broken. He looked at the fragments of the Hun Tian Ling and Qian Kun Quan scattering from the sky in despair, trembling, "How could this be..."
He had not expected that the demoness, with just one burst of power, would annihilate nearly half of their forces and destroy three divine artifacts!
The Qian Kun Quan and Hun Tian Ling were his most cherished divine artifacts, as integral to him as his own flesh and blood. Now that they were destroyed... his heart bled!
As the bloody radiance in the sky dispersed, Yun Dandan stood alone in the void. The other wing on her back had also transformed into a blood-red giant hand, surging with boundless blood energy.
A terrifying aura, ruling the world!
Rumble!
Thunder struck from the dark red sky to the earth, carving out one massive crater after another in the ruins of the capital.
The surviving cultivators in the capital watched Yun Dandan, who stood in the air, with terror in their eyes. They all knelt on the ground, their faces drained of all hope.
No one could have imagined that such a monster existed in this world, one that even the gods in the heavens could not subdue!
Yun Dandan looked indifferently at the remaining soldiers in the sky. The two giant hands behind her immediately grew a thousand times larger, reaching for the heavenly soldiers and generals within the clouds, absorbing them as her own energy.
Yun Dandan's aura surged once more, and her speed in slaughtering the heavenly soldiers and generals grew faster and faster!
"Stop it!!!" Nezha roared from the pit, his eyes filled with despair and sorrow.
His limbs were broken, and his internal organs had been shattered by the previous impact. His spiritual power was completely depleted, and he could no longer move.
Now, all he could do was roar in vain.
Ye You, watching the tragic scene in the sky from not far away, saw a flicker of compassion in her eyes. She asked Ye Ling, "Brother, are we still going to stand by and do nothing? They came to help the mortal realm deal with the demon disaster, after all. Isn't it a bit wrong for us to just watch from the sidelines..."
Yun Dandan's outburst had completely destroyed the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers. Now, the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers were defenseless, only fit to be slaughtered.
The longer they watched, the more heavenly soldiers died.
However, Ye Ling did not answer Ye You. He merely stared silently at Yun Dandan, as if contemplating something.
"Brother!!!" Ye You called out again when Ye Ling did not respond, "If you're not helping, then I'll go myself!"
Ye You's call attracted Nezha's attention.
Seeing Ye Ling present, Nezha's despairing eyes suddenly lit up with hope. He quickly shouted, "Your Majesty, please help us!"
Unfortunately, Ye Ling still did not respond.
Seeing that Ye Ling was ignoring him, Nezha froze, unable to understand why.
Ye You glanced at Nezha with some anxiety and persuaded Ye Ling, "Brother, they've already asked for our help. Are we really not going to help?"
Ye Ling said, "Wait a little longer."
Ye You anxiously replied, "By then, all the heavenly soldiers will be dead!"
Ye Ling continued to watch Yun Dandan slaughtering in the sky, saying, "No, the time is not yet right."
Seeing that Ye Ling had no intention of intervening, Ye You stomped her foot in annoyance and said, "Alas! I don't know what it is you're trying to do!"
Although Ye You did not understand why her brother was doing this and desperately wanted to intervene, she also understood her brother's personality and knew that he would not stand by and watch people die for no reason.
Ye Ling must have been planning something, so she dared not act directly and disrupt her brother's plan.
Unable to act, Ye You glanced at Nezha's despairing eyes nearby. Feeling unable to bear it, she said to Ye Ling again, "Brother, since the time is not right, it should be fine for me to save Nezha, right?"
Ye Ling nodded, "Mm."
With Ye Ling's permission, Ye You no longer hesitated. She immediately rushed to Nezha's side, fed him healing pills, and simultaneously channeled spiritual energy into him to repair his injuries.
Receiving the treatment, Nezha could move slightly and managed to stand up. He bowed to Ye You in gratitude, "Thank you, heroic maiden, for saving me. The battle is urgent now, please, heroic maiden and Your Majesty, lend us your strength."
Ye You said with a troubled expression, "I want to help you too, but my brother won't let me act."
Hearing Ye You's words, Nezha's eyes filled with anxiety. He quickly asked, "Have we offended Your Majesty in some way that makes him unwilling to help? If we have offended you, Nezha is willing to apologize and beg Your Majesty to take action!"
Ye You waved her hand, "No, no, no! You misunderstand. This has nothing to do with you. It's my brother who has his own plans."
Nezha anxiously asked, "How can this be? This demon is causing havoc in the world. Once it gains power, it will bring a world-ending crisis to the mortal realm. What is Your Majesty planning that is more important than the lives of all beings in this world?"
Ye You said, "I don't know either, but I understand my brother. Since he doesn't plan to intervene, no matter how much you beg him, it's useless. You're still injured, so rest for now."
Nezha said angrily, "My many comrades are being slaughtered. How can I live on here?"
As he spoke, Nezha realized he had become agitated. He quickly apologized to Ye You, "I'm sorry, I got a bit carried away, and I wasn't targeting you."
Ye You said, "I know, you don't need to worry about it."
Nezha looked deeply at Ye Ling nearby, then cupped his fists to Ye You, "Regardless, Nezha thanks the heroic maiden for saving me. If there is a day in the future, Nezha will repay your kindness tenfold!"
With that, Nezha swallowed another pill, forcibly summoned a surge of spiritual energy, recalled his Fire-Tipped Spear, stepped onto the Wind-Fire Wheels, and flew towards the sky.
"Hey, hey! Don't go! It's dangerous!"
Seeing Nezha heading back into the slaughter, Ye You tried to stop him. However, Nezha's mind was made up, and in an instant, he charged into the clouds, leaving only his retreating back for Ye You to see.
Seeing Nezha truly rush back to fight Yun Dandan, Ye You anxiously said to Ye Ling, "Brother, Nezha has gone back to his death again. Aren't you going to save him?"
Although Ye You and Nezha had no particular friendship, she had grown up listening to the myths and legends of Nezha. She naturally had a good impression of this heavenly god and did not want to see Nezha go to his death.
Unfortunately, Ye Ling still did not reply.
Seeing that Ye Ling remained unmoved, Ye You became even more anxious, "No, I can't just watch him go to his death. I have to intervene!"
Chii!
Just as Ye You was about to make a move, a cage of demonic energy rose around her, trapping her.
Seeing that Ye Ling had even imprisoned her, Ye You asked in confusion, "Brother, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Ye Ling said, "Xiao You, this matter is of great importance and does not allow for your recklessness!"
"But!!!"
Boom!!!
Ye You wanted to argue further, but she heard a loud noise from the sky. She looked up and saw Nezha, who had transformed into his three-headed, six-armed form, colliding with Yun Dandan. Terrifying spiritual energy swept in all directions.
Unfortunately, Nezha's strength was far inferior to Yun Dandan's, and he was already severely injured. In this collision, he was immediately torn in half by Yun Dandan, his blood splashing across the sky!
Yun Dandan, having torn Nezha's body in half, became even more frenzied!
