After transmigrating into the body of the Jade Rat Spirit, I became Nezha's adopted sister.

Nezha's previously languid expression vanished instantly, and a sharp glint flashed in his beautiful phoenix eyes.

He stared at the black, one-horned python, especially at the dark gold horn on its forehead, and frowned.

"Its aura is very mixed." He looked at Bai Yeying and said quickly, "This python demon has its eyes on Tang Sanzang and wants to force a breakthrough by devouring him."

Before the words were even finished, the black, one-horned python below had already launched its attack!

It opened its mouth wide, spewed venom, and rushed straight towards Gao Laozhuang!

The venom clearly has corrosive and hypnotic effects; wherever it passes, vegetation withers and turns black instantly, and even rocks are eroded into pits.

Even if ordinary people in the village are only touched at the edge, they will immediately become dazed and collapse to the ground.

"How dare you, you fiend!" Sun Wukong roared, and his golden cudgel instantly swelled, transforming into a golden barrier that blocked most of the venom from entering the manor. However, the venom was endless, constantly corroding the golden barrier and emitting a sizzling sound.

Pigsy didn't care about anything else. He brandished his rake, creating a gust of wind in an attempt to disperse some of the venom, but to little avail.

"Brother Monkey! This poisonous gas is evil! It specifically corrupts the spiritual light of magical treasures! My rake is almost useless!" Pigsy hurriedly said to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong also noticed that the poisonous gas was not only powerful, but also seemed to be able to disturb the soul, making him somewhat agitated. He maintained the barrier while urgently thinking of a countermeasure.

Seeing this, the black python let out a triumphant hiss, and with a sudden sway of its body, it crushed towards Gao Laozhuang! The dark golden light at the tip of its single horn grew stronger and stronger, clearly brewing an even stronger attack!

Just as Gao Village was about to be reduced to ruins by the giant python's crushing force and poisonous gas, Tang Sanzang was in imminent danger!

On the hillside, Bai Yeying watched this scene with a hint of nervousness. She instinctively looked at Nezha: "Third Prince, we..."

Before she could finish speaking, a red figure flashed beside her!

Nezha is no longer in the same place.

The next instant, a streak of crimson light, with astonishing speed, struck the giant python that was crushing down at its vital spot!

With a loud bang, there was no earth-shattering explosion, only a loud bang.

The python's scale-covered body, upon touching the crimson light, shattered like butter scalded by a red-hot iron, its scales breaking apart and blood and flesh flying everywhere!

"Hissing~~~"

The black python let out a painful hiss, its massive body arched violently, and then, as if its bones had been removed, it crashed down onto a small hill beside it!

"Boom!" The earth shook violently, and dust billowed into the sky.

The crimson light retreated immediately after the attack, hovering lightly in mid-air, revealing its form.

Nezha rode on his Wind-Fire Wheels, holding his Fire-Tipped Spear in one hand, the tip pointing diagonally downwards, a wisp of black smoke rising from the spearhead. His head was tilted to the side, the red mark on his forehead standing out starkly against the backdrop of the billowing smoke and black poisonous gas.

The young man's phoenix eyes swept indifferently over the black python writhing in agony below, smashing the small hill into a mess. He then glanced at the golden barrier in front of Gao Village, and at Sun Wukong and Zhu Ganglie behind it, who looked astonished.

Then, he looked away, as if he had simply swatted away an annoying fly.

Inside and outside Gao Village, all was deathly silent.

Only the painful hiss of the black python and the rumbling sound of it rolling and crushing trees and rocks broke the silence.

Sun Wukong's golden eyes widened as he looked at the gruesome giant python, then at the imposing young man in red robes and silver armor in the air. He scratched his ear, and after a long pause, finally managed to stammer, "Nezha?"

Pigsy's mouth gaped open, and he almost dropped his rake: "The...the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas?!"

On the hillside, Bai Yeying watched the stunning and violent attack, and the indifferent look on the boy's face as if he were just passing by and casually offering a hand. Her heart pounded wildly.

So handsome...so handsome!

Although I already knew he was amazing, I was still shocked every time I saw him in person.

She quickly ran out of her hiding place, looked up at Nezha in the sky, her eyes shining like stars.

Nezha sensed her gaze, lowered his eyes, and met her gaze for a moment.

There seemed to be a smile in his phoenix eyes. After a moment, he shifted his gaze to the black python struggling to get up below.

A huge, bloody hole was torn open at the python's seventh inch, almost revealing broken bones inside. Blood gushed out, staining the ground beneath it dark red.

Its vertical pupils were filled with horror, pain, and resentment as it stared intently at Nezha in the air.

"Who are you?!" the giant python hissed, its voice trembling with pain.

"Noisy." Nezha uttered only one word, flipped his wrist, raised the Fire-Tipped Spear, and aimed the tip at the giant python's head.

There were no superfluous words, nor any flashy moves. Only crimson-gold light began to gather at the tip of the spear.

Despair finally appeared in the giant python's eyes. It wanted to escape, but its severely injured body wouldn't obey its commands. It wanted to beg for mercy, but locked in by the crimson-gold light, it couldn't even utter a sound.

Just as Nezha was about to make his move and finally finish off this audacious python demon...

"Third Prince, wait!" A slightly anxious voice came from below.

Sun Wukong somersaulted to Nezha's side, a smirk on his face: "This snake deserves to die, but I, Old Sun, am escorting my master westward, and I'm short of someone to carry the load... uh, no, I mean, this monster is quite powerful, it would be a waste to kill it. How about I, Old Sun, subdue it and let it atone for its sins by escorting my master all the way?"

Pigsy, dragging his rake, flew up and nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, the Third Prince killed it like an ant. But Heaven cherishes life, and this monster's cultivation to this point is no easy feat. If it could convert to Buddhism and escort the pilgrims on their journey to the West, it would be a meritorious deed!"

Nezha paused, his hand holding the gun still, and glanced sideways at Sun Wukong, his phoenix eyes devoid of emotion: "You want to capture it?"

"Hehe, let's give it a try." Sun Wukong rubbed his hands together. "If it doesn't obey, then we can kill it later."

Nezha glanced at the giant python below, which was barely breathing but still staring at them with venom, then looked at Sun Wukong and remained silent for a moment.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, the crimson-gold light on the Fire-Tipped Spear suddenly receded.

"Whatever." He uttered those two words, then looked away from the python demon, his fiery wheels spinning beneath his feet as he prepared to leave.

"Thank you, Third Prince!" Sun Wukong quickly clasped his hands in thanks.

Pigsy quickly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much, Third Prince, for your kindness!"

Nezha ignored them, his figure transforming into a streak of red light as he descended toward the hillside where Bai Yeying was.

Bai Yeying was looking up, watching Nezha fly back. The afterglow of the setting sun bathed him in a warm gold, his red robes fluttering, his figure upright, like a war god stepping out of a painting.

Her heart skipped a beat again, much to her dismay.

Nezha landed in front of her, and the Universe Ring spontaneously wrapped around her waist. He looked down at her and saw that her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were shining as she looked at him...

He looked away, his tone unchanged: "Have you seen enough? Let's go."

"Mmm!" Bai Yeying nodded vigorously, her eyebrows curving into a smile.
