Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology - Chapter 459
Chapter 459
The prison van moved slowly forward in the night, its wheels rolling over gravel, making a low creaking sound. Chen Tianjun was locked tightly in the prison van, his hands bound with iron chains, and a sneer still hung on the corners of his mouth.
Nezha walked beside the prisoner's car, occasionally glancing at Chen Tianjun with a hint of mockery in his eyes:"It has come to this, and you are still laughing? It seems that you are really not afraid of death."
Chen Tianjun hummed softly, his voice hoarse:
"Death? Do you think heaven is the end? I'm waiting to see you regret it."
Yang Jian was walking in front. When he heard what Chen Tianjun said, he tilted his head slightly. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice:
"Arrogant people will eventually suffer the consequences."
Sun Wukong didn't care at all. He carried the golden hoop on his shoulder, walked briskly, hummed a little tune, and turned back to shout to Nezha from time to time:"Little Nezha, stop talking to that guy and hurry up and catch up. We still have to go back to heaven to claim our credit!"
Nezha curled his lips, ignored Chen Tianjun, walked quickly to Sun Wukong's side, and whispered:"This guy is full of tricks. I always feel that he has a backup plan. We should not take it lightly."
Sun Wukong grinned and patted Nezha on the shoulder:
"Don't worry, with me here, he won't be able to cause any trouble."
Li Jing walked in front, the long sword in his hand drooping slightly, and the rune light on the sword had completely dimmed.
His eyes were as sharp as torches, and he was always alert to the movements around him.
The group crossed the valley and entered a dense forest. The forest was filled with fog and the moonlight was blocked by layers of leaves, making it extremely dim.
Nezha frowned and reminded in a low voice:
"This forest is filled with gloomy energy. Be careful of scams."
Li Jing nodded and waved his hand, signaling the heavenly soldiers to slow down and remain alert.
Suddenly, there was a slight noise in the woods, as if something was moving quickly.
Sun Wukong's ears twitched, and he swung his golden hoop suddenly, pointing directly in the direction where the sound came from:"Who? Get out!"
Yang Jian's Heavenly Eye instantly opened, his gaze was as sharp as lightning, penetrating the mist and locking onto a shadow, his voice was low:
"Sure enough, there is someone."
Nezha held the broken spear tightly, the flame on the tip of the spear flickered slightly, and he stared at the shadow sharply:
"Is it a monster or an accomplice of Chen Tianjun?"
I saw a black shadow rushing out from the woods and heading straight for the prison van, its target was Chen Tianjun!
Li Jing reacted extremely quickly. He swung his sword violently, and the sword light was like a rainbow, hitting the black shadow directly.
The black shadow was forced back by the sword light and let out a low roar.
"Protect the prison van!"
Li Jing shouted loudly, and the heavenly soldiers quickly surrounded the prison car, pointing their spears at the black shadow.
Yang Jian's figure flashed in an instant, and the three-pointed, double-edged sword turned into a silver light and slashed directly towards the black shadow.
The black shadow let out a scream and instantly turned into black gas and dissipated.
"Humph, they are just minor characters."
Sun Wukong said disdainfully, turning the golden cudgel lightly in his hand with a hint of relief in his eyes.
At this moment, a low laugh suddenly sounded in the woods. The sound was eerie and echoed throughout the forest.
"Hahahaha... Is this all the people in Heaven are capable of?"
Li Jing frowned, looked around, and said in a low and powerful voice:"Who is it? Why is he hiding himself and not daring to show himself?"
The laughter stopped abruptly, replaced by a low humming sound, and a strong evil aura filled the air.
A cold light flashed in Yang Jian's eyes, and his tone was stern:
"Oh no, it's a demon king level monster, everyone be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fog in the forest suddenly condensed and transformed into a huge black shadow, rushing straight towards the four people!
Nezha swung his broken spear violently, and the flame at the tip of the spear rushed straight towards the black shadow like a fire dragon.
Sun Wukong's golden cudgel also smashed out suddenly, with golden light like a dragon, colliding with the black shadow, making a deafening explosion.
Li Jing swung his sword again, the sword light was like a rainbow, and it went straight to the core of the black shadow.
Yang Jian's three-pointed, double-edged sword turned into a ray of silver light, the blade flashing coldly, and hit the black shadow's weakness directly.
The attacks of the four people hit the black shadow at the same time. The black shadow let out a shrill scream and instantly turned into black gas and dissipated.
The fog in the forest also dissipated, the moonlight shone again, and the surroundings returned to calm.
Li Jing retracted his sword, looked around sternly, and said in a low voice:"Chen Tianjun's accomplices are indeed not simple. No wonder he is so fearless."
Sun Wukong put away his golden cudgel and grinned:"No matter how many tricks they have, they can't escape our control."
Nezha held the broken spear tightly, the flame on the tip of the spear flickered slightly, and there was a hint of determination in his eyes:"Hurry back to heaven, there is no time to delay."
The group continued to move forward, passing through the dense forest, and finally arrived at the entrance to the heavenly palace.
The heavenly soldiers escorted Chen Tianjun into the heavenly palace, and Li Jing and four others followed closely behind.
The golden light from heaven shone down on the four people, making them look particularly sacred.
Sun Wukong sat on a high throne, looking at Li Jing below with a sharp gaze, and spoke in a majestic voice:"Li Jing, you have made great contributions by capturing Chen Tianjun this time. Do you want any reward?"
Li Jing stepped forward and bowed respectfully:"Reporting to the Great Sage, subduing demons and monsters is my duty, and I do not ask for any reward."
Sun Wukong nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes:"Lord Li is indeed indifferent to fame and gain. If that is the case, I will record your merit and reward you in the future."
Li Jing nodded in response and stepped aside.
At this time, Yang Jian stood up and bowed:"Great Sage, Chen Tianjun and his accomplices are still causing chaos outside. I request that you continue to track them down and completely eliminate the remaining accomplices."
Sun Wukong hesitated for a moment and nodded:
"Approved. You are fully responsible for this matter."
Yang Jian took the order and stepped aside.
Nezha also took a step forward, speaking in a firm tone:
"Monkey, I am also willing to go with Yang Jian to completely eliminate the remaining followers of Chen Tianjun."
Sun Wukong smiled and nodded:
"Okay, it's allowed."
Li Jing stood aside, looking at everyone with a calm expression:"Chen Tianjun's accomplices should not be underestimated. You must be careful on this trip."
Yang Jian nodded, his voice low:"Don't worry, General. We will act with caution."
Nezha patted his chest, full of confidence:
"With Yang Jian and I here, shouldn't it be easy to capture those demons and monsters?"
Sun Wukong laughed, twirled the golden cudgel in his hand, and had a hint of ridicule in his eyes:"Little Nezha, don't just brag, be careful of capsizing in the ditch."
Nezha curled his lips, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes:
"Monkey, just wait and see my show!"
Yang Jian shook his head slightly, his eyes still stern:"Okay, let's set off immediately without further delay."
After saying this, he turned around and strode towards the gate of heaven. Nezha followed closely behind him, carrying the broken spear on his shoulder and walking briskly.
Li Jing watched the two of them leave, with a trace of relief in his eyes, and turned to Sun Wukong and bowed:"Great Sage, if you have no other instructions, I will take my leave now."
Sun Wukong waved his hand and said in a relaxed tone:
"Go ahead, go. I'll tell you if there's anything else." Li Jing nodded, turned and left the hall. His sword drooped slightly, and the runes on the sword had completely dimmed.
At the same time, Nezha and Yang Jian had stepped out of heaven, standing above the clouds, overlooking the mountains and rivers of the mortal world.
Nezha stretched himself, with a hint of excitement in his tone:"Yang Jian, where shall we go first?"
Yang Jian's eyes were deep, and his Heavenly Eyes quietly opened, scanning every corner of the mortal world:"The remnants of Chen Tianjun are hiding very deeply. We need to start from their stronghold."
After saying that, he reached out and took out a parchment scroll from his arms. After unfolding it, he saw a map of the mortal world densely drawn on it.
Nezha came over, his eyes lit up:"Is this Chen Tianjun's map?"
Yang Jian nodded, and slid his finger gently across the map, finally stopping at a hidden valley:"According to the map, this should be another secret base of theirs."
Nezha's eyes flashed with excitement, and he swung the broken spear, the flame on the tip of the spear flickering slightly:"What are you waiting for? Let's go there!"
Yang Jian put away the map and said calmly:"Don't be reckless. Chen Tianjun's accomplices are full of tricks. We must act carefully."
Nezha curled his lips, with a hint of impatience in his eyes:
"Yang Jian, you are just too cautious. With me here, won't those monsters be easily captured?"
Yang Jian shook his head slightly, his tone low:"Caution is the boat."
After saying that, he flashed and turned into a ray of silver light, heading straight for the hidden valley.
Seeing this, Nezha hurried to follow, with the broken spear flying beside him and flames cutting through the sky.
The two of them sped along, and after a while they arrived above the valley.
The valley was filled with fog and a gloomy atmosphere, as if countless evil spirits were hiding there.
Yang Jian stood on the cloud, his eyes swept across the valley, his brows slightly furrowed:
"This place is extremely evil, it seems that the remnants of Chen Tianjun are indeed active here."
Nezha held the broken spear tightly, his eyes sharp:"Then what are we waiting for? Just charge in!"
Yang Jian reached out to stop him, speaking calmly:
"Don't be reckless. We need to find out the situation in the valley first."
Nezha's eyes flashed with impatience, but he finally nodded in agreement:"Okay, it's up to you."
After that, the two of them quietly landed at the entrance of the valley, hid behind a huge rock, and carefully observed the movements in the valley.
The valley was completely silent, save for the rustling of dead leaves in the wind, which seemed to conceal some kind of danger.
Yang Jian's eyes flickered slightly, his gaze piercing through the mist, and suddenly, his eyes fixed:"There is a sentry ahead."
Nezha followed his gaze and saw a monster in black standing under a dead tree, looking around vigilantly.
Nezha's eyes flashed with excitement, and he whispered:
"Let me deal with him."
Yang Jian nodded, his voice low:"Be careful, don't alert the snake."
Nezha grinned, and his figure flashed, approaching the monster like a ghost.
Before the monster could react, Nezha's broken spear had already stabbed out, and the flames at the tip of the spear instantly engulfed the monster.
The monster let out a low scream and then turned into black gas and dissipated.
Yang Jian stepped forward, frowning slightly:
"It seems that there are many monsters in this valley. We must be careful."
Nezha put away the broken spear, with a hint of disdain in his eyes:"These monsters are nothing but this, they are not even a single blow."
Yang Jian shook his head slightly, his tone still calm:"Don't underestimate the enemy. Chen Tianjun's accomplices are definitely not ordinary people."
The two continued to go deeper into the valley, and the fog around them became thicker and thicker, as if hindering their progress.
Suddenly, a low roar came from the front, as if countless monsters were gathering.
Yang Jian's Heavenly Eye suddenly lit up, his gaze penetrated the mist, and his expression changed slightly:"No, we are surrounded."
Nezha gripped the broken spear tightly, the flame on the tip of the spear suddenly surged, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes:"That's perfect. I was just worried about having no place to practice!"
Nezha rushed into the valley first, waving the broken spear in his hand like a dragon. Flames swept out from the tip of the spear, instantly driving back several monsters that pounced on him.
The monster was engulfed by the flames, let out a sharp roar, and then turned into black smoke and dissipated.
The fog in the valley quickly dissipated under the scorching flames, revealing more monsters. Their ferocious faces looked even more terrifying under the firelight.
A hint of coldness flashed in Nezha's eyes, but he continued to move forward without stopping.
His movements were swift and precise, and every time he fired a shot, a monster would fall down.
"These guys are nothing but that!"
Nezha snorted, with a hint of disdain in his tone.
He glanced sideways and saw Yang Jian following closely behind him.
Yang Jian held a three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand, and the blade flashed a cold light in the mist.
His steps were steady and his eyes were as sharp as lightning. He quickly locked onto several monsters that were trying to attack from the side.
The blade swung out suddenly, accurately cutting off the monster's head. Black blood gushed out, and a pungent fishy smell filled the air.
Yang Jian's movements were clean and neat, without any unnecessary frills, as if every swing of the sword was intended to be the most deadly killing move.
"Watch out on the right side!"
Yang Jian shouted in a low voice, reminding Nezha to be careful.
Upon hearing this, Nezha suddenly swept the broken spear to the right, and the flames instantly burned a monster that pounced from the darkness to ashes.
He turned his head and glanced at Yang Jian, with a smile on his face:"Thank you for reminding."
Yang Jian nodded slightly, his eyes still stern:"There are more monsters here than expected, don't take it lightly."
Nezha did not respond, but swung the broken spear faster. The flames shuttled through the valley like a dragon, repelling the monsters in front of him one after another.
Yang Jian followed closely behind, his three-pointed, double-edged sword weaving through the group of monsters like a silver snake, taking the life of a monster with every swing of the sword.
The two went deep into the valley and defeated several groups of monsters.
The corpses of the monsters were piled up on both sides of the valley, black blood seeped into the ground, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The flames and the sword light intertwined, illuminating the entire valley like day.
"These monsters seem to be trying to stop us."
Yang Jian frowned slightly, and swung the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand violently, splitting a monster that tried to pounce and bite him into two halves.
His movements were still steady, but there was a hint of solemnity in his tone.
"Who cares? Anyone who stands in the way must die!"
Nezha sneered, thrust out with the broken spear, and the flames instantly engulfed the monster blocking the way ahead.
His eyes were full of fighting spirit and his steps did not pause at all.
The terrain of the valley gradually became narrower and the fog became thicker, as if deliberately hindering their progress.
Although Nezha's fire could dispel some of the fog, new fog would soon come in, as if it could never be completely cleared away.
"The valley bottom is just ahead."
