Chapter 12 Shiji Emerges from the Mountain
Just then, a deafening roar suddenly came from afar, its sound like rolling thunder that instantly spread throughout the entire valley, as if it would shake the heavens and earth to the point of collapse.
"Oh no! Shi Ji is about to emerge from the pass!"
With this exclamation, a cloud of dust fell from the entrance of the White Bone Cave, and the tightly closed stone door began to slowly move, about to open completely.
Xiao Yangjiao was extremely anxious. She turned her head to look at Nezha, who was still frolicking in the sky, and shouted at the top of her lungs:
"Nezha, run! It'll be too late if you don't run now!"
This Shi Ji is no pushover. She was formed from the stone that Nuwa used to mend the sky. She has powerful regenerative abilities and her cultivation has reached the level of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and Five Qi Converging at the Origin, making her comparable to the Twelve Golden Immortals!
Although Nezha possessed countless magical treasures, he was still young and his skills were limited, making him no match for Shiji.
In an attempt to buy time, Xiao Yangjiao anxiously looked around. As far as she could see, the Skull Mountain was covered with nothing but white bones and cold, hard stones.
She gritted her teeth, used all her strength to lift a huge rock, and rushed towards the entrance of the Bone Cave, trying to use the boulder to block the door from opening.
"Ok?"
A clear, questioning voice came from the eerie cave of bones.
The sound was like a cold wind blowing by, making Xiao Yangjiao feel a chill run down her spine, and her scalp felt like it was about to explode!
We absolutely must not let Shiji come out! Just thinking about Shiji Niangniang's hideous and terrifying face, dressed like a lizard, only increased Xiao Yangjiao's fear.
So she moved the stones even faster.
"Little sister, what kind of game are you playing here, stacking stones?"
Upon hearing Yang Jiao's call, Nezha leaped down from the clouds and came to her side.
Watching Xiao Yangjiao frantically carrying a large rock and rushing towards the cave entrance, Nezha looked bewildered, clearly not understanding what was happening.
I don't understand, but I respect it.
While asking her questions, he thoughtfully used his fire-tipped spear to pick up a few large stones for her.
"Why didn't you leave?" she asked, taking the stone with a look of surprise.
Didn't I tell him to run away? Why is this child so disobedient?
Nezha blinked his innocent big eyes.
"I've been waiting for this rocky cliff for days. Now that she's finally showing herself, how can I leave?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yangjiao became extremely anxious, and fine beads of sweat even appeared on her forehead. She quickly said:
“You killed her servant boy. Once Shiji comes out, the first thing she will do is avenge Biyun. With your abilities, you are no match for her at all!”
Having said that, she pressed her hand firmly against the cave entrance, clearly feeling the violent vibrations emanating from within. Judging by this, if Shi Ji couldn't open the cave door, she would probably have to use her magic to force it open!
"I can't beat her?"
Nezha didn't take it seriously, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
He gently pinched the hem of his shirt and tenderly wiped the sweat from Xiao Yangjiao's forehead, then said dismissively:
"Several children have gone missing down this mountain. I have been secretly following Biyun for a long time and finally discovered that these children have been kidnapped to Skull Mountain and offered to Shiji as food. If such a scourge cannot be eliminated, it will surely destroy my heart for cultivation."
To attain enlightenment through murder?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yangjiao was stunned and asked, "Who taught you that?"
“My master,” Nezha answered without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yangjiao fell silent.
Taiyi Zhenren was known for his fierce protectiveness of his own. He treated Nezha as the apple of his eye, a precious gem, and cherished him dearly.
Seeing the little girl's confused and bewildered expression, Nezha didn't care at all. Instead, he puffed out his chest and said proudly:
“Master said that if I encounter anyone who disturbs my cultivation, I can kill them directly! Moreover, Master also said that these people are killed because it is their destiny to suffer this calamity, and they have no one to blame but themselves. If I really encounter a powerful guy that I can't kill, it doesn't matter. At worst, I can run back to the Golden Light Cave on Qianyuan Mountain to ask Master for help, and Master will definitely take action to solve it for me.”
After saying that, Nezha even gestured with his chin towards Xiao Yangjiao.
……
Previously, Xiao Yangjiao had always thought that Nezha's lawless, reckless, and reckless personality was forced upon him by Li Jing, but now she understands.
It's all because of Taiyi Zhenren's indulgence!
"Shi Baonan!"
Nezha didn't understand, so he curiously leaned closer and asked, "What does that mean?"
"Forget about that now, go find your master!"
As soon as Xiao Yangjiao finished speaking, she felt the stone under her palm become scorching hot. Just as she pulled her hand away, she heard a faint cracking sound of stone breaking.
Before she could react, Nezha picked her up with one hand and flew straight away for more than ten meters.
After a loud bang.
Yang Jiao looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the place where the two had stood had been leveled, and the piled-up boulders had been shattered.
From the deep cave, a figure flew out like lightning. Dressed in a black divine robe with wide sleeves, her slender waist was so delicate that it could be encircled with one hand, and her fair skin made her stand in mid-air like a ghost.
"Is this Lady Shiji?! She wasn't this beautiful in the animated film."
If this person hadn't come from the White Bone Cave, Xiao Yangjiao would have found it hard to reconcile the image of the languid, aloof beauty in front of her with the image of a lizard stuck in her hair.
"Hide here!"
After Nezha settled her in a secluded place, he leaped into the air and looked down at the people in front of the White Bone Cave.
Peeping at Nezha from the side, Xiao Yangjiao only saw Shi Ji lazily glance at Nezha in the air. The next second, her gaze fell on Bi Yun, who was pierced by a sharp arrow and pinned to the stone wall by the cave entrance. Her originally cold eyes were instantly filled with murderous intent when she looked at Nezha again.
Xiao Yangjiao immediately sensed something was wrong and shouted towards Nezha, who seemed unconcerned in the sky:
"Nezha, danger!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a dazzling blue light suddenly shot out from Shi Ji's sleeve, like a blue snake winding and coiling in the air, and instantly pounced towards Nezha at an astonishing speed.
Just as the azure light was about to touch Nezha, it suddenly transformed into an incomparably sharp sword.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Nezha dared not be negligent in the slightest. He nimbly sidestepped and barely avoided the fierce Tai'a sword. Then, he waved his hand and summoned the magic weapon in his hand.
In an instant, light shone brightly, and the Qiankun Ring, like a blazing fire wheel, appeared out of nowhere, carrying a fierce momentum as it roared toward Lady Shiji.
However, the Qiankun Ring, which was usually incredibly powerful and invincible, seemed to have lost its former might at this moment. It was as if it had crashed into an indestructible wall of copper and iron, and it fell helplessly to the ground some distance away from Lady Shiji.
It was utterly impossible to cause even the slightest harm to Lady Shiji.
"How could this be?" Nezha stared at the magical artifact, which looked like an ordinary iron ring, and looked at Shiji in disbelief.
"Humph."
Shi Ji glanced coldly at the Qiankun Ring.
"A disciple of the Taiyi Zhenren?"
As a disciple of the Jie Sect, she should, in principle, address Taiyi Zhenren as her senior brother. Yet, his disciples had come to her door and killed her attendant. She could not swallow this insult.
"Since you know my master, why don't you quickly confess your crimes and submit to execution?"
Right now, Nezha had already gripped the Fire-Tipped Spear in his hand. As he spoke, he subtly moved closer to Xiao Yangjiao, thinking to himself that he was not afraid of her with his own skills, but that little sister was different. Shi Ji could kill her with a single finger.
"You arrogant and ignorant monster! You dare to speak so arrogantly without even addressing me as 'senior'! Today, I will cleanse your unruly master of this place!"
Before she finished speaking, Shi Ji's figure blurred, transforming into a dazzling light that shot straight into the sky. In her hand, she gripped the incomparably sharp Tai'a sword and fiercely stabbed it towards Nezha.
Nezha, not to be outdone, brandished his Fire-Tipped Spear and charged forward.
In an instant, swords flashed and spears clashed, the sounds of weapons clashing were deafening, sparks flew everywhere, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze in the tension.
"It's over, how could Nezha possibly be a match for Lady Shiji!"
