Chapter 345: Revenge, from morning to night
Chapter 345: Revenge, from morning to night
Outside the arena, the gods and generals watching this scene felt their scalps tingling.
Little Nezha's cute appearance is very deceptive. Outsiders may not know this, but the war gods in heaven have personal experience of how cruel he is.
Among the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, more than 99,990 of them had either been directly beaten by it or had witnessed its brutal side when it went berserk.
Now it is like a real child, being hung up and spanked by adults. This is the first time in the world, a rare thing that has never happened before and will never happen again.
"Too brutal, too cruel! Good fight (whispering)"
"Junior Brother Wen has inherited his father's style. As expected, like father, like son! His use of the Dragon Whip is exactly the same as that of Wen Tianzun back then. It really makes me miss the heroic figure of Uncle Wen back then!"
"Is it okay to humiliate the prince of the heavenly kingdom in public like this?"
"What's wrong with that? They are all children of the rich and powerful. The rich and powerful beat the poor and powerful. There is nothing new under the sun."
"Alas, General Nezha, why did he provoke that vicious demon? Poof, he has hit a wall this time."
"It wasn't General Nezha who took the initiative to provoke. It was Wen who picked a fight. This is called karma. It's all caused by karma, hehe."
Wen Rui has many acquaintances in Heaven, but that doesn’t mean he has a good reputation.
Those he was familiar with were all immortal officials above the rank of Heavenly Lord and Star Lord.
In the heavenly palace, the vast majority of immortals are made up of thousands of minor gods and fairies.
Among the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, many heroic souls of soldiers from the Western Zhou Dynasty who died on the battlefield were summoned to ascend to heaven and be granted immortal certificates. These heavenly soldiers also recognized Wen Rui, but regarded him as an enemy.
Even many of the heavenly soldiers turned into fallen heroic spirits because of Wen Rui's vicious scheme, and they all had some deep hatred against him to some extent.
Unfortunately, Nezha’s reputation is not very good.
Nezha is mentally immature, arrogant, and has superior fighting skills. He can easily hurt others without realizing it.
But this naughty kid has a strong background, so even if he causes trouble and offends others, the soldiers and generals dare not say anything.
When these two spoiled and powerful young men with bad reputations started fighting, the crowd of heavenly soldiers who were watching saw that evil would be punished by evil, and they were so happy to see their misfortune.
There was a lot of noise on the viewing platform of the arena. A group of people rushed to the Xianwu Hall. Several personal soldiers pushed aside the crowded crowd and opened a passage. Li Jing walked over quickly with a grim face.
When Li Jing arrived in front of the ring, he saw his eldest son being hung up and beaten by Wen Rui, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Nezha was also a tough guy. His butt was beaten so hard that white juice was oozing out. The skin there was almost mashed into lotus paste, but he gritted his teeth and refused to admit defeat or beg for mercy.
The child had been stubborn since he was young. He struggled desperately, trying to break free from the octopus's tentacles, thinking only about how to turn defeat into victory.
Nezha looked like he was beaten badly, but in fact he only suffered some minor injuries. The recovery ability of the Lotus Holy Body was amazing. Even if Wen Rui cut off his entire butt and took it home to make soup, it would grow back the next day.
If Wen Rui really wanted to kill Nezha, it would not be an easy task. Beheading and digging out the heart would be fatal injuries to ordinary gods.
For Nezha, the immortal lotus will come to life when it comes into contact with water, so it is just a small matter of soaking in the pond for a few more days to recuperate.
Wen Rui was not in a hurry. He had ascended to become a god and had unlimited energy and physical strength. He could beat the child in cloudy and rainy days. He had nothing to do anyway. Nezha refused to admit defeat, so he just continued to fight.
Li Jing couldn't bear to watch it any longer. He was of course aware of his eldest son's ability and knew very well that Nezha had not been defeated. If he continued to beat him, that stubborn child would easily hold on for eight or ten years.
But, at the same time, it is also inappropriate.
In public, the prince of heaven was humiliated like this. It was not Nezha's butt that was hit, but the face of Li Tianwang!
Li Jing arrived in front of the arena, and as soon as he thought about it, the teleportation mechanism of the small world in the arena was immediately activated. The two people in the arena were instantly teleported out and appeared outside the arena.
Nezha was teleported to Li Jing's side, and Wen Rui was teleported to the other side.
The Xianwu Palace is under the jurisdiction of the Yunlou Palace, and the Yunlou Palace is under the jurisdiction of Li Jing. The authority of this small world of the Xianwu Arena is completely controlled by Li Tianwang.
If the winner is not decided, Li Jing can also force the fight to end and teleport the people in the small world out. Nezha was hit on the head, but he escaped by teleporting. Without thinking, he raised his gun and rushed towards Wen Rui.
The latter narrowed his eyes slightly, stood with his hands behind his back, motionless, as if waiting for it to shoot him to death.
"How dare you, you bastard! Stop it now!"
Before Wen Rui could move, Li Jing moved first. He flew forward with a fierce look on his face, grabbed the Fire Spear with his pagoda-holding hand, and stopped the ashamed and furious Nezha.
Nezha then regained his consciousness and realized that if he stabbed out with the spear, he would be committing a big taboo and would fall right into Wen Rui's trap.
Knowing that this was impossible, Nezha said unwillingly, "Father, Wen used a shady trick. I cannot swallow this anger!"
"Get out!"
Li Jing glared at it and shouted at it to retreat, then took a step forward and came in front of Wen Rui, suppressing his anger.
Facing Wen Rui, Li Jing had to lower his posture and clasped his fists in an awkward military salute: "Emperor Wen, you are now the emperor, but you still hold on to the old grudges from hundreds of years ago. You have repeatedly made things difficult for my father and me, and you have no tolerance for others. Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the Jade Emperor and accuse you of bullying your colleagues?"
There is not much difference in official rank between the Heavenly King and the Great Emperor, but the Great Emperor is still half a level higher than the Heavenly King.
A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death. Even if he is only half a level higher, even if Li Jing is furious and wants to kill Wen Rui on the spot, he still has to show due respect.
"Li Tianwang, where did you start?" Wen Rui said innocently, "You know me. I always take revenge on the same day. How could I bear a grudge?"
Pointing at Nezha who was sulking with his hands covering his butt, Wen Rui raised an eyebrow and said, "I beat you at Lishan that time because you were disrespectful to the Holy Mother of Lishan. Today I beat your son to teach him a lesson for his inappropriate words and deeds and his disrespect for his elders."
When Wen Rui spoke openly about the events at Lishan, Li Jing's face became even gloomier.
He spent a lot of effort and privately approached the fairies who had beaten him one by one, saying all kinds of soft and hard words and promising countless benefits, before he calmed down the public opinion storm and buried this scandal.
"Oh, Emperor Wen is beating both father and son. It turns out that he even beat His Majesty the Heavenly King before."
"Tsk tsk, it fits my stereotype of him. This guy will take revenge and has a bad temper from morning to night."
"Don't mention it. It brings back some very bad memories for me. That's how he retaliated and killed me and my comrades. We died so miserably..."
……
A few words of conversation caused the heavenly soldiers to whisper again.
"Wen Rui, let's not beat around the bush. I know you have a big prejudice against our Li family, but now is the time to let bygones be bygones. Five hundred years have passed, and you and I are ministers in the same court. Can't we put aside our past grudges and reconcile with our Li family?"
Li Jing spoke word by word with a serious and earnest expression, and made a formal negotiation to Wen Rui very solemnly.
These words seemed to be a sign of submission and peace, but in fact they were also sharp - if Wen Rui continued to refuse to give in and bullied the Li family too much, the Li family would be forced to fight back.
Wen Rui also stopped smiling and said seriously, "I understand. Your Li family has made great achievements in the Heavenly Palace. You are now doing well as an official and living a good life. The Jade Emperor and Buddha are protecting you. You don't need a friend like me."
"Now you come to me and say: 'Emperor Wen, please put aside the past grudges and make peace.'"
"But you and your son have no respect for me at all. You don't consider me a friend."
At this point, Wen Rui's eyes became sharp, his expression was sinister and fierce, and his tone became quite threatening:
"What have I done to make you disrespect me so much? You are not even willing to call me brother, and your son is not willing to call me uncle."
"If you think you can still get my tolerance with this attitude, then go and complain to the Jade Emperor, but I'm going to say this first."
"Even the Jade Emperor can't keep you! I said so!"
