Sun Wukong heard Nezha's voice transmission. Though he was skeptical, Nezha's tone was certain, and since he had never held much affection for Li Jing anyway, he decided to play along.
Sun Wukong let out an angry roar. Demonic aura surged skyward around him, while the Golden Cudgel in his hand erupted with unprecedented, dazzling radiance, as though he had poured all his mana into it. A terrifying wave of energy swept outward!
"Nezha, take a strike from Old Sun!" His voice boomed like thunder as the Golden Cudgel transformed into a massive shadow of a staff that tore through the heavens, crashing down with world-destroying force.
The power of this strike was several times greater than when he had fought Jin Zha and Mu Zha! Seeing this, Nezha thought, Good, monkey. Keep it up. Li Jing, you're out of luck.
With that thought, the Wind Fire Wheels beneath Nezha's feet suddenly burst with blazing divine light!
"Whoosh—!"
At the critical moment, his figure instantly shifted sideways at a speed almost like teleportation through space, skillfully escaping the core area covered by the staff's shadow!
But this left Li Jing, who was desperately retreating, in a miserable spot!

"What?!" Li Jing's pupils contracted sharply. He only had time to push the Exquisite Pagoda's radiance to its limit.
"Boom—!!!"
The massive staff shadow struck the light curtain cast down by the Exquisite Pagoda head-on!
The Pagoda shook violently and let out a pained cry under the unbearable strain. Its brilliant light curtain shattered inch by inch like glass! The remaining terrifying force pierced through the curtain and smashed viciously into Li Jing's chest!
"Puh—!"
