Chapter 822 The Strange Tales of the Headless Li Jing

The sky, shrouded in dark clouds, suddenly erupted with a thunderous roar. The sound and light effects caused almost every unit in the entire Xiaoxitian area to instinctively look up at the sky.

The dark clouds illuminated by lightning were like a giant curtain covering the sky, presenting the scene of Nezha beheading Li Jing in its entirety to everyone's eyes.

Regardless of who ultimately struck, Nezha did indeed chop off that head!
What followed was Nezha's unprecedentedly joyful triple laughter.

All three heads were laughing involuntarily, and for some unknown reason, the magical power fluctuations on Nezha's body were visibly breaking through their original limits!

Perhaps this is what is meant by having a clear mind; even just cutting off a meal replacement was enough to strongly release Nezha's suppressed emotions.

But at this stage, only Nezha can laugh. The large number of Yin soldiers and generals surrounding Li Jing, who couldn't stop Nezha in the slightest, were completely stunned.

Their commander was actually forcibly beheaded!
Interestingly, the celestial soldiers and generals who were slower and had not yet reached the dark clouds stopped their charge after a brief moment of stunned silence, and began to whisper among themselves in small groups.

Clearly, the main themes revolve around Li Jing, and some small groups have even started betting on when the Third Prince will kill his own commander.

Li Jing, who was still waiting in the world of Journey to the West, couldn't help but shiver.

Back to Nezha, his two heads were laughing, but the remaining head was looking sharply at the falling head of the substitute meal. Li Jing's eyes on the head were already bloodshot.

Whether in the original Journey to the West or in the world of Black Mythology, beheading is not a fatal injury.

Look at Lingji Bodhisattva of Huangfengling. His head has been refined into a magic weapon by others, yet he can still wander around headless and continue to spread Shaanxi storytelling.

Of course, there are some rules and regulations involved.

For example, Huli, who became a grass god, could still jump around after his head was cut off, but this was only for a limited time. Once his head was far away from his body for a long time, he would eventually die.

For a normal humanoid creature, losing a head is almost equivalent to a fatal blow that ignores the health bar. For Li Jing, it was just a minor fatal wound. The price he paid was only a significant drop in his health bar, and he was still quite far from dying.

Simply place your head roughly against the neck, apply some saliva, and it will recover on its own in no time.

However, the unfilial son he was facing at this moment was a rare and unique existence in the Journey to the West world, who had truly died twice and lived three times!
He had already noticed that Li Jing, after his head and body were separated, exhibited a certain peculiarity.

With his brain working three times faster, Nezha's laughter abruptly stopped as he unleashed his third pair of arms, hurling the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) downwards and enveloping Li Jing's head as he fell off the chariot.

At the same time, the Wind and Fire Wheels beneath his feet were propelled forward, and his body plummeted at high speed like a rocket. With Li Jing's headless body making a "Don't go, Ziwei" meme-like gesture, he broke through the encirclement of the Yin soldiers and generals!

Li Jing is indeed not dead, but if nothing unexpected happens, his position as commander of the Black Heavenly Court military region will inevitably be taken away.

Because offending the Heavenly Court is a more intolerable mistake than dying on the battlefield!

If Li Jing had simply died at the hands of Nezha and Cheng Tian, ​​that would have been fine, but since he didn't die, he has to take the blame.

Nezha didn't think that far ahead, but Li Jing immediately foresaw his own future.

As an entity within the Heavenly Court and a former beneficiary, Li Jing probably understands the cannibalistic nature of the gods here—a blatant case of the strong preying on the weak—better than most other deities.

Having had his head taken by his unfilial son, he was destined never to return to the Black Heavenly Court.

This is not just a matter of losing face for the Heavenly Court and being stripped of his position; it is also a matter of how this weakened, headless lion will inevitably be devoured by the jackals around him! Now, Li Jing only has two choices left!

Taking advantage of the lingering power, he drove his ghostly soldiers and generals to charge into the enemy camp and snatch back his own head.

Or... simply run away and hide somewhere in the lower realm, like the Bodhisattva Lingji, barely clinging to life.

This is undoubtedly a difficult choice, but it is also a necessary one.

As long as Li Jing wants to live and doesn't want to be devoured by those gods in heaven, he has no choice but to choose one of two options.

"Heh~ You even got to pick one~"

But the moment the headless Li Jing had this thought, a voice forcefully entered his mental world.

"Get out! Get out of my mind!"

In an instant, Li Jing knew that the source of the voice was the sorcerer himself who had manipulated him to throw away the Linglong Pagoda and complete the act of self-destruction.

That is, Cheng Tian.

"Do you even have a brain? Why are you telling me to get out of your head?"

Cheng Tian's disdainful expression materialized into a physical form, making Li Jing grit his teeth... Oh, he's headless now.

"Fine, I'm not going to let you run away anyway, so I'll let you make the most of your remaining strength."

The moment Cheng Tian finished speaking, Li Jing was forcibly switched to a third-person perspective for the third time. Because of this perspective, his irregular, yet already roasted, severed neck became even more clearly visible.

Cheng Tian manipulated the headless Li Jing to raise a token in his hand, which was proof of his identity as the commander of the Black Heavenly Court.

Cheng Tian used the token to send a distress message to the Black Heavenly Court.

"Giant Spirit God! Four Heavenly Kings! Descend to the mortal realm at once!"

After sending the message, Cheng Tian repeated the process by throwing the sign again. Then, he controlled the headless Li Jing to drive the pitch-black chariot and launch a death charge against the three-way allied forces.

No one likes their teammates lining up to feed kills, but just as no one would refuse their enemies lining up to feed kills.

Cheng Tian knew he couldn't wipe out the Black Heavenly Court in one fell swoop, but taking advantage of everyone's peak combat strength, using war to sustain war, and maximizing the erosion and elimination of the Black forces' living strength, would lay a more solid foundation for swallowing up the Black forces' strength in the future.

Perhaps because everyone's attention was drawn to Nezha, even after becoming the headless knight, Cheng Tian guessed that Black Li Jing still didn't truly understand what kind of enemy he was facing.

Not long after, Li Jing, who was waiting in the Journey to the West: The Legend of the Monkey King, suddenly opened his eyes because his entry slot had suddenly lit up.

What he didn't know was that when a space capable of accommodating Li Jing became available, it also meant that the data of another Li Jing had been weakened to the point where it could be overwritten, replaced, or even permanently deleted...
