"With my three souls scattered and seven spirits dispersed, I was fortunate to be reborn from lotus root as an immortal. Nezha, Marshal of the Central Altar, greets you, fellow Daoist."
The young woman sat cross-legged on a lotus platform, her red sash transforming into ribbons that spiraled around her arms. Though she smiled, the pressure she exuded was truly terrifying.
"Nezha? What are you doing here?"
Mo Shuying was a little confused. Nezha, as a Deity's Servant, why was he here? Wasn't this the World Realm?
"It is fate. The Deity has descended, and this is where I was born and nurtured. However, your arrival has made things somewhat… incomplete."
Nezha looked at his hand. Having been born from the lotus earlier than planned, it affected him in various ways.
"Ah, in that case, I apologize for my intrusion."
Mo Shuying frowned and clasped his hands in apology. Despite his words, Mo Shuying didn't let down his guard in the slightest. And then,
"No need for apologies. You're about to die, slain by my Universe Ring. I won't bother arguing with a dying man. Go!"
Nezha suddenly raised his hand, still smiling! A golden ring on his wrist shot out rapidly! It transformed into a golden blade in mid-air, flying towards Mo Shuying's neck!
"Fall!"
Mo Shuying had been on guard and reacted instantly!
The Elemental Demonic Sword in the air unleashed its long-accumulated power! A terrifying Aether Light shot towards Nezha! It was like a blooming chrysanthemum, enveloping the entire lotus pond!
"Rise!"
Nezha lifted a finger, and the originally palm-sized golden brick expanded to the size of a city gate, blocking the incoming light in front of him.
At the same time, Mo Shuying also clashed with the golden ring. Mo Shuying punched the golden ring, knocking it away, but he frowned slightly as a scratch appeared on his fist.
"What a sharp weapon. This must be the Universe Ring, right? Why does it have a blade?"
Mo Shuying was speechless. This Magic Modification was too extreme; it was like a hula hoop turned into a flying guillotine.
The first exchange between the two ended with Mo Shuying sustaining a minor injury. Although it healed in a few seconds, Nezha seemed completely unharmed.
Besides the lotus pond being sliced into countless fragments by the Aether Light, with its water flowing out, Nezha and his lotus platform in the very center were completely untouched.
"Explode!"
Since they were already fighting, there was no need to hold back. Mo Shuying immediately detonated Judas' Kiss, and instantly, two columns of fire shot skyward! The violent explosion engulfed everything.
"There's no way you can block this now!"
Mo Shuying watched the flames. Even the peaks of the immortal mountains were affected, partly collapsing. Luckily, he was far away, otherwise he would have definitely been caught in the blast.
"Whoosh!"
However, as Mo Shuying observed, a fiery light shot out of the explosion! It was a fireball! The fireball flew towards him at extreme speed!
"Bring it on!"
Mo Shuying didn't retreat again in the face of the attack. Switching to the Heracles Class Card, Mo Shuying's muscles bulged! An Axe-Sword appeared in his hand, and he unleashed a strike!
"Boom!!"
The fireball and the Axe-Sword collided in mid-air, instantly sending flames flying. As the flames dissipated, Nezha appeared, holding a golden spear.
Nezha stood on his Wind-Fire Wheels, holding the Fire-Tipped Spear, with the Universe-Mixing Sash wrapped around him. After feeling Mo Shuying's strength, he realized he wasn't Mo Shuying's match in terms of raw power. So, the tip of his spear began moving up and down, avoiding a direct confrontation with the Axe-Sword, as the fiery spear tip continuously thrust at Mo Shuying's body.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"
Each spear thrust resulted in a burst of flames, yet it couldn't break through Mo Shuying's defense.
He was too tough! Furthermore, Nezha wasn't a strength-based Deity's Servant, so fighting against Mo Shuying's thick hide was difficult.
Fortunately, Nezha's defense was also good.
When Mo Shuying brandished his sword, it was blocked by the Universe-Mixing Sash as soon as it got close. Though it looked like just a ribbon, it could counter strength with softness, rendering immense power useless. When the Axe-Sword struck the Universe-Mixing Sash, the force couldn't be transferred to Nezha's body at all; it was all dissipated.
The two exchanged more than a dozen blows, then each retreated, facing each other eye to eye. It was hard to tell who had the upper hand, and for a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"What do you eat, you person? How can you be so tough!"
Nezha cursed angrily, holding his spear.
Mo Shuying smiled. He wasn't afraid of anyone in a war of words.
"A man, of course, has to be tough enough!"
Mo Shuying dispelled the Axe-Sword and flexed the muscles on his arm.
"Hmph, if I can't beat you, then I'll just capture you! Don't think that just because you're strong and tough, I have no way to deal with you! Go!"
Saying that, Nezha reached out and yanked the Universe-Mixing Sash! The red sash flew out, like a red spirit snake, flying towards Mo Shuying, ready to bind him and counter his strength with softness!
But Mo Shuying had already made up his mind. He tapped his toes and flew backward. The Universe-Mixing Sash followed, quickly completely detaching from Nezha's body.
When the Universe-Mixing Sash completely left Nezha, Mo Shuying knew his chance had come!
"Take this!"
A golden light flashed! In Nezha's astonished eyes, Mo Shuying appeared before him! He had used Flash! Mo Shuying threw a punch! It glowed with dazzling light!
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
Nezha took a punch and crashed straight into the mountainside from the air, knocking over many trees and rocks. Mo Shuying followed close behind. This fight! A good punch truly was the most satisfying!
"Overwhelming Might!"
Mo Shuying lunged at Nezha, who was lying amidst the rubble! Unexpectedly, a golden brick the size of a door flew out, blocking Mo Shuying's path.
"Break!"
*Boom!*
Mo Shuying threw a punch without hesitation, sending the massive golden brick hurtling towards Nezha.
The huge golden brick was about to crush Nezha, but it rapidly shrunk until it was a normal size and landed beside Nezha's head. By then, Nezha had already raised their hands! The Universe Ring was in their right hand and the Red Embroidered Ball in their left. Both Noble Phantasms flew out simultaneously, forcing Mo Shuying to retreat!
Mo Shuying stepped back to dodge, but the sudden whooshing sound by his ear made him inwardly curse, This isn't good!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The Universe-Mixing Sash had turned back and, taking advantage of Mo Shuying's retreat, wrapped directly around his left arm, then quickly began to coil around his entire body!
"Got you!!"
Nezha had already gotten up, holding the Fire-Tipped Spear, and soared into the sky. Flames rose from beneath them, and the person and spear merged, transforming into a large flaming spear!
"Earth-Soaring Spirit Flight! Fire-Tipped Spear!"
Nezha unleashed their powerful offensive Noble Phantasm. This anti-army level Noble Phantasm, carrying a sky full of flames, charged towards Mo Shuying.
Mo Shuying watched the approaching flames and tried to struggle, but found the Universe-Mixing Sash was bound too tightly. He couldn't break free quickly. With this Noble Phantasm restraining him, even Go Wherever You Want was useless.
If he couldn't dodge, he could only take the hit head-on.
Mo Shuying suddenly straightened his back and chest, waiting for Nezha's attack without dodging or flinching.
Nezha felt a flicker of doubt seeing this, but it was too late to wonder if Mo Shuying was bluffing! They mustered all their strength! The spear descended!
*Boom!*
Brilliant flames exploded in the mountains! A vast cloud of fire and the resulting shockwave instantly incinerated most of the vegetation in the mountains.
