The Outcome Between the Great Sage and Ou Ba

So now Nezha only has one path in front of Nezha: to use skill to deflect Sun Wukong's attack, which was launched against him by his own Law Artifact.

At this moment, Nezha calmed his mind and relaxed his body. Holding the Fire Arrow Spear, he stared intently at the Universe Ring that was being fired at him. When the distance reached the Fire Arrow Spear's attack range, Nezha used his gun technique again.

His movements are like a silver dragon reaching out with its claws, his spear retracts like lightning and a rainbow flying, the spear is like a giant python turning over, his actions are like lightning circling the sky, like the wind howling through jade trees, like a silver dragon overturning the seabed, like auspicious snow filling the sky.

This time, however, was completely different from the fight with Sun Wukong earlier. This time, the speed at which he drew his spear was several times faster than before. There was no other reason than the fact that the Universe Ring that Sun Wukong had dodged was so powerful and fast that even the space along the way was slightly distorted.

Nezha's Fire Arrow Spear hit the Universe Ring with precision every time. Every time the Universe Ring advanced a little closer to him, he would take a step back and then hit the Universe Ring again with another shot. Remembering this method, Nezha retreated about seventy or eighty steps before finally completely dissipating the incredibly heavy force carried by the Universe Ring's momentum.

After eliminating the momentum, Nezha finally managed to grab his Universe Ring.

On the other side, after dealing with and counterattacking the attack from the Universe Ring, Sun Wukong was immediately met with an attack from the Heaven-Chaos Sash.

Because Nezha was bound by the Universe Ring Sun Wukong unleashed, he didn't have the extra energy to manipulate the Heaven-Chaos Sash to deal with Sun Wukong. So when the Soul Ring struck, he relied entirely on his physical strength to fight. In less than two breaths, Sun Wukong had already taken the Heaven-Chaos Sash into his hands.

Then he stood there watching Nezha, retreating a good seventy or eighty steps with each thrust of his spear before finally dissipating the full force of Sun Wukong's attack with the Universe Ring.

"Ou Ba, look at you! Your Fire-Tipped Spear hit my Universe Ring I was shooting at you, and you had to take a step back. You had to take a full seventy or eighty steps back before you completely neutralized the force of my attack."

"Moreover, I easily countered your Heaven-Chaos Sash and brought it under my control."

As he spoke, Sun Wukong brandished the Hun Nezha (Heaven-Chaos Sash) in his hand at Nezha.

At this moment, the Heaven-Chaos Sash was very unwilling to be grabbed by Sun Wukong, and like a snake, it struggled uncontrollably in Sun Wukong's hand.

"Great Sage, what do you want to say?"

Nezha calmed himself down after catching the Universe Ring, then asked Sun Wukong what he wanted to say.

"Ou Ba, it seems you're no match for me. Why don't you take this opportunity to admit defeat now? I'll try to inflict some minor injuries on you so you can get away with it. What do you think of my suggestion?"

"After we've finished all this, come with me to the Water Curtain Cave in Flower-Fruit Mountain for a while, so I can properly show you some hospitality."

At this point, Sun Wukong revealed his purpose.

"Great Sage, I might agree to other things, even if you asked me to follow you in rebelling against the Jade Emperor, I might agree to that, but this is something I absolutely will not do."

"I, Ou Ba, dislike admitting defeat and refuse to submit to fate. My destiny is in my own hands, not in the heavens."

"Therefore, this battle between us must be decided. Even if I lose, I need to know where I am inferior to you."

After hearing Sun Wukong's words, Nezha immediately rejected Sun Wukong request and stated his principles firmly.

"Alright, I respect you, Ou Ba. I didn't expect you to be someone who believes in this saying too."

"Let's continue this intense battle until a winner is decided, and then we'll talk about the rest."

Upon hearing Nezha's words, Sun Wukong agreed without hesitation, because he also believed in the saying, "My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens."

If Sun Wukong hadn't traveled across mountains and rivers to leave Flower-Fruit Mountain in order to reach West Ox Hezhou and follow Mount Lingtai Fangcun Old Ancestor Bodhi to learn Immortal Method, and hadn't undergone ten years of arduous cultivation under Old Ancestor Bodhi's tutelage, he wouldn't be the Sun Wukong, Great Sage Equal to Heaven has attained immortality, possesses boundless Law Power, transcends the Three Realms, and is not within the Five Elements.

After hearing Sun Wukong say these words, Nezha didn't continue rambling and immediately showed his words through his actions.

Nezha propelled his Wind Fire Wheels to their maximum speed, brandishing his Fire Arrow Spear and charging straight at Sun Wukong. In just two breaths, he was in front of Sun Wukong. Nezha channeled all his magical Law Power, thrusting his spear straight at Sun Wukong's chest, intending to decide the outcome of their battle with this single strike. Seeing Nezha's all-out thrust, Sun Wukong dared not underestimate the power within Nezha's attack.

Sun Wukong used all his strength to lift his Jingu Bang to block Nezha's spear. As the two weapons clashed, they produced a metallic clang, and Sun Wukong successfully blocked Nezha's attack.

He then retaliated, forcefully shoving Nezha backward before thrusting his staff forward, piercing Nezha's right arm and creating a hole in Nezha.

The two fought to a draw, ending in a victory for Sun Wukong.

I lost!

"Let's go, Great Sage. What about what you said earlier about taking me to your Water Curtain Cave on Flower-Fruit Mountain to properly entertain me?"

After Nezha solemnly admitted his defeat, he quickly came to terms with it, because in his view, losing to a friend he acknowledged was not a shameful thing at all.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! I'll lead the way. Once we get to my Water Curtain Cave, I'll give you a proper welcome."

After saying these words to Nezha, Sun Wukong manipulated his Somersault Cloud and flew towards the Water Curtain Cave of Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Seeing Sun Wukong set off, Nezha quickly followed on his Wind Fire Wheels.

Sun Wukong and Nezha were extremely fast. In just over ten breaths, they arrived at the woods in front of the Water Curtain Cave on Flower-Fruit Mountain. Sun Wukong stopped there.

"Where is your territory? It's not underground, is it?"

When Nezha saw that Sun Wukong had stopped, Nezha couldn't see the banners above the Water Curtain Cave because they were blocked by the bushes. When he realized that there were no caves or similar places around him, he curiously asked Sun Wukong a question.

"How could that be? We're monkeys, not gophers. Why would we put our homes underground?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but burst into laughter as he answered Nezha.
