Chapter 1413: Desperate Stand
After the [Medium], streaks of light接连划破天际，向这里赶来！
"Yang Jian!!"
一个身穿红色卫衣，脚踏风火轮的少年，目光落在云端之上，那正在被天神庙众神疯狂围杀的血色身影，瞳孔骤然收缩。
他低吼一声，一道金色的神圈从手腕激射而出！
The Ne Zha hurled the Qiankun Ring into the sky, forcefully dispersing the intertwined divine rays. The red figure gripped the Fire-Tip Spear and swooped down to strike at the Indian gods encircling Yang Jian!
"Dead monkey! If you'd been any slower he'd be dead!!" Nezha roared at the empty air behind him.
The moment his voice faded, hundreds of kilometers away from Chennan Pass at the edge of the clouds, a brilliant golden light extended rapidly. An instant later, an absurdly massive Ruyi Jingu Bang silhouette smashed through the mist and came crashing down toward the Indian gods near the "Void Gate"!
Unlike Nezha, who had been stationed at the neighboring [Prajna Pass], Sun Wukong had flown all the way from the war pass on Great Xia's northwest side on his Somersault Cloud. Thanks to the Cloud's unbelievably变态 speed, he had arrived almost simultaneously with the nearest Nezha.
Even though his figure remained hundreds of kilometers away, this strike had already reached the Indian gods' faces!
The Ruyi Jingu Bang was truly massive, the divine might swirling around it forcibly repelling several Indian Chief Gods. Their forms instinctively retreated to both sides, and in that brief moment, a red figure riding on fire wheels shot across the sky. The Hun Tian Ling lashed out and instantly bound a blood-soaked figure, carrying them far away!
"Yang Jian! Are you alright? Yang Jian!!" Nezha cradled the figure in his arms, crying out anxiously.
Under the siege of the Indian gods, Yang Jian's silver battle armor had long since shattered completely. His flesh was riddled with holes, transformed into a complete blood-soaked mess. Even his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade had snapped in two.
On his chest, the little black dog that had been forced back to its original form lay wounded and scarred, trying to use its own body to plug the bleeding wounds on Yang Jian. Its breathing came in ragged gasps like a bellows.
Nezha reached out to check Yang Jian's breath—faint to the extreme.
"Monkey! He's not going to make it!" Nezha turned and shouted.
Sun Wukong rode his Somersault Cloud over swiftly. Those blazing golden eyes swept over Yang Jian's body, his expression阴沉至极.
Yang Jian's injuries were truly too severe. In this situation, there was no one who could heal Yang Jian, unless they abandoned Chennan Pass entirely and rode the Somersault Cloud straight to Heavenly Court... but that was simply not realistic!
"Yang Jian! If you're still the mighty Erlang Shen, then hold on!!" Sun Wukong thundered at Yang Jian's barely conscious ear, "Great Xia hasn't won yet—this war has just begun! Are you going to desert now?! If Lin Qiye found out you died in battle, how devastated would he be?!
That kid, right now, only has you as his remaining family!!"
As Sun Wukong's words fell, Yang Jian's gradually dilating pupils faintly contracted. His breath, which had been fading, barely maintained its final thread.
"Find a place to set him down!" Sun Wukong turned to Nezha and said. In those blazing golden eyes, an unprecedented fury rose. "I'm going to teach these bastards a lesson!"
Without waiting for Nezha to say more, Sun Wukong grasped his Ruyi Jingu Bang and vanished on the spot.
The next moment, a狂暴的巨猿法相 erupted before the Indian gods in the sky above!
Nezha gritted his teeth. Carrying the dying Yang Jian in his arms, he flew toward the direction of Chennan Pass. Streaks of light接连飞驰而来 from the horizon, rushing toward the front line.
Guangchengzi, Taibo Zhenren, Emperor Fengdu... The Gods of Great Xia had set out toward here the moment the "Void Gate" began construction. But because the various war passes were located far apart, their arrival times varied. These were already the nearest Great Xia gods to Chennan Pass, while the more distant ones were still on their way.
With just this number of Great Xia gods, defeating the Temple of Brahma was impossible—they could only try to buy time...
Just as Nezha anxiously searched for a place to安置 Yang Jian, a carriage emerged穿梭于山峰之间, its clear bells ringing and quickly drawing Nezha's attention.
"It's him..." Nezha's eyes lit up.
"Leave him to this old man." Master Chen pushed open the carriage door, speaking solemnly, "Though I am no fighter, keeping him alive I can still manage..."
"Good!" Nezha毫不犹豫, passing Yang Jian directly into Master Chen's carriage. He turned and charged back toward the battlefield!
Watching Nezha's figure fade into the distance, Master Chen sighed. The carriage door closed automatically, and the carriage passed through the mountains like a phantom, disappearing without a trace.
Meanwhile,
In front of Chennan Pass.
The roaring Divine Beasts collided madly against the silver巨柱, fire and frost covering the earth. It was as if a pair of狂暴的巨手 wanted to tear open the thunder wall woven from the silver pillars.
Seven figures draped in black cloaks fluttered like falling leaves through the beast horde. A grotesque claw tore through space, slicing off more than half of one person's body, yet no blood splattered. The figure, seemingly unaware of pain, thrust a fiery sword into the back of the beast claw in return!
Bu Li's realm had already been接近Infinity接近Human Apex. After activating "Ghost God Guide," his personal strength didn't increase much. But strangely, the realms of the other six members were climbing at an alarming rate.
Bu Li's realm didn't grow much, but the combat power of the entire [Medium] squad had doubled!
Tainted blood seeped from the corner of Bu Li's pale lips. Those deep eyes precisely found gaps in the endless siege. The entire seven-person squad dispersed and regrouped with惊人的默契, like an absolutely precise machine, navigating through the beast horde with hair-raising precision.
Their presence instantly drew the attention of the vast majority of Divine Beasts.
From the very beginning, Bu Li had no intention of directly confronting the beast horde. Even with the "Ghost God Guide" activated, engaging three to four Divine Beasts simultaneously was already the [Medium]'s limit... Yet before them now was more than ten times that number.
All he could do was continuously attract these Divine Beasts' attention while using the seven thunder pillar divine artifacts to trap the remaining Divine Beasts, buying time for other Great Xia gods and Human Apex to arrive!
The实践证明, his decision was correct.
This horde capable of flattening all of Chennan Pass had been forcibly held in place by them. And because they had drawn most of the fire, the casualty count among the regular Night Watch and Great Xia military forces rushing in afterward had decreased dramatically.
"Cough cough cough..."
As time wore on, Bu Li's face grew paler and paler. The speeds of the other six black-cloaked figures gradually slowed.
BOOM—!!
A grotesque long tail slammed into the earth, the aftershock sending their forms flying. A Divine Beast tall as a mountain turned around and let out a thunderous roar at these ants.
A massive beast claw whistled down to strike. Just then, a blade of azure light descended from the heavens and slashed the beast claw clean off at mid-air!
"Commander Zuo..." Seeing the newcomer, Bu Li's lips curved into a bitter smile.
