Chapter 63 Flood Encountered Fire, While Apricot Yellow Flag Showed Its Power
I was just about to warn Sun Wukong to be careful of the Universe Ring, but this Great Sage seemed to have grown a pair of eyes on his back that could sense the Universe Ring approaching. Then he shivered his body and transformed into a mosquito and became invisible to all of us. The gods were in the middle of a fierce battle with his avatars, but suddenly, the avatars disappeared altogether. They were stunned for a moment, then they raised their heads, only to see the Universe Ring coming toward them. It came forth and back like a ping pong ball, hitting on their bodies, making their cry out in pain.
“What’s going on?” No matter how powerful the Universe Ring was, it still wouldn’t be able to beat up these quasi-deities to such a state. I couldn’t help but ask.
“These quasi-deities are not gods yet, so most of them are still in their true spirit states,” Hong Hai’er explained. “Without physical bodies, they are extremely weak. The Universe Ring can even break my head, let alone these true spirits.”
“Besides, they’re going to be gods soon, so they do not want to make any mistakes at this moment. Even if they are bewitched, they still have this little desire to survive …”
“You …” With the interrupting, Nezha seemed to have regained his clarity, and his eyes turned bright from lifeless. “Are you from the outside world? Get out of here! This place is already …”
Just as we were about to ask, Nezha’s entire body suddenly shuddered, and his eyes became lifeless again. “Little thief, be careful. My Heavenly Damask is coming!”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a red damask flew into the air. Nezha held it in his hand and waved it toward the sky; then the red damask immediately covered the sky.
“What kind of magic skill is this?” Xiao Hong and I smiled at each other. We weren’t solar cells, thus what was the use of him blocking the sun? Besides, it was still early in the morning, and there was no sun.
For a moment unknown, something floated in the sky toward us. It seemed to be extremely large, but it was also extremely fast. Before we could say a word, it had already floated over. My God, it was actually a huge volume of water that even veiled the entire sky.
That was the so-called an entire sky of water. With so much water, it was enough to fill the sky. At this time Nezha said, “You have your strange Tao technique, but how can it be compared to this East Sea’s water? Since I can cause trouble in the sea, I can also borrow the water from it! ”
Jesus! Even the Stellar Transposition was useless even now! Nezha had really lost his mind. He did not care about inundating the entire Great Zhou’s territory in order just to fight with us!
Hong Hai’er pondered deeply, then his eyes suddenly lit up and shot me a glance, “Big Brother, I will fly really fast, and you’d better follow me closely.” And then he swiftly flew far away, as fast as if I’d been bitten by a dog when I was a kid. I didn’t know what was going on, but I immediately chased after him with my Wind Fire Wheels. Nezha didn’t have the Wind Fire Wheels, so even though he could fly, his speed couldn’t compare to ours. Therefore, he manipulated the sea water to turn into a water dragon following closely behind us.
Hong Hai’er flew faster and faster, straight to the sky above Jiang Zi Ya’s army, with the water dragon following behind us. At this time, Hong Hai’er was circling around and flying up, and the water dragon was also still flying around. Jiang Zi Ya who was standing on the stage looked up and felt that something was amiss, but he could not figure it out, and when the water dragon was spiraling up until its entire body was above the army, Hong Hai’er said, “It’s time!” Then a mouthful of Innate Spiritual Fire was sprayed out.
So that was his plan! I finally understood it. That was regular sea water, not like that in Avalokiteshvara’s kalasa. Thus it couldn’t extinguish Hong Hai’er’s fire!
As expected, as the fire reached the water dragon, it was as if a match touched gasoline. With a boom, the entire water dragon turned into a fire dragon, and the whole world seemed to catch fire. Luckily I had Zhang Chi Hang’s Water Sword to protect me. I could see the fire burning and not get burned. However, the fire dragon moved so fast, that it instantly burned Nezha’s Heavenly Damask as well, which made Nezha immediately fluster and blacken.
Alas:
He originally had a lotus root body with red lips and white teeth.
Now San Tan Hai Hui God was not a god anymore. (Note: Nezha proclaimed himself as San Tan Hai Hui God. San Tan refers to heaven, earth, and water. Hai Hui means as vast and deep as the sea.)
Fire and water were incompatible. After the water dragon turned into a fire dragon, it immediately lost its mana and turned into a rain of fire that rained down.
“No!” Only then did Jiang Zi Ya understand Hong Hai’er’s scheme. Once the rain of fire began to fall, the gods below would not be able to keep themselves safe. However, he did not panic either, but pulling out a small yellow flag from behind him and said, “Apricot Yellow Flag, go!”
The small flag swayed in the wind, then transformed into numerous golden light covering the soldiers and gods below. Before the rain of fire could even touch them, it was already enveloped by the golden light and floated in the air, forming a huge fireball the size of earth. The golden light wrapped around the fireball for less than a quarter of an hour, and the fire was extinguished, returning to its original form as a water ball. Then, with a shake of golden light, the water ball seemingly regained life as it flew into the distance, probably returning back to the East Sea.
All of this happened in the span of a single breath. Competition between experts was really unfathomable.
“Shit!” The Great Sage Sun returned to our side. “This bastard has the Apricot Yellow Flag that makes him resistant to all kinds of mana!”
“Hahaha!” Jiang Zi Ya’s voice sounded again, “Little friend, you only have a limited time to borrow mana. If you don’t make a decision now, you won’t be able to go back.”
I looked at Hong Hai’er and Sun Wukong. The two nodded their heads and told me, “He’s right. This time you entered here with your entire body, so you cannot stay much longer.”
What should I do? I frowned. The great army below us and the gods in the distance were drawing closer and closer to us.
“I guess that’s the only way.” Sun Wukong thought for a while, “Hold tight on me.”
We didn’t understand, but we still held onto this Great Sage tightly. Sun Wukong picked up the iron staff and chanted, “Will-following Golden-banded Staff, open!”
The iron staff released bursts of golden light that shot towards Jiang Zi Ya’s Immortal Granting Altar. It generated an incomparable aura. For a time, not a single soldier or god was able to pierce through the golden light.
“Billowing Cloud!”
The Great Sage took us and leaped up. “Hold tight!”
Damn, this speed was so fast that I didn’t even dare to say anything, because I was afraid the wind would blow my tongue out. No wonder astronauts needed weight acceleration training. With this speed, the Great Sage almost caused my blood to suffuse in my brain.
In the blink of an eye, we had arrived at the Immortal Granting Altar. Before Jiang Zi Ya could even react, Sun Wukong had already picked me up and threw me onto the List of Creations. Meanwhile, he extended his hand to catch Jiang Zi Ya with an extremely fast move.
“To shoot an enemy, shoot his horse first; to capture a group of thieves, capture the head first!”
To our surprise, he did not grab Jiang Zi Ya. It turned out to be just an illusion.
As I was thinking this, I hurriedly stretched out my hand to touch the List of Creations. But before I could touch it, I was bounced back by a yellow light.
“Hahaha!” Jiang Zi Ya laughed. “Little friend, the List of Creations is protected by my Apricot Yellow Flag. I received it from the Lord of Heaven. Your little abilities don’t deserve my look!”
“Damn, it’s Apricot Fellow Flag again!” Hong Hai’er cursed in a low voice.
At that moment I felt a wave of exhaustion and fell to my knees
