Chapter Twenty-Six: The Crisis (Part II)
The battlefield is far away in Nantianmen, how to go this thousands of miles?
I remembered the Pegasus and quickly whistled, and after a few seconds, she actually flew over, a blue slick that broke through the sky.
"It's a battlefield that hasn't been seen in a long time." Seeing this tragic scene, Pegasus raised his horse's hooves and neighed excitedly.
I gently dragged Otaki onto the horse, and then rode up to hold him.
"Drive!" I patted her.
"Wait a minute! My son! "The Emperor suddenly stopped me, and then threw his sword to me." Take my sword and order all the Heavenly Soldiers and Dragon Palace soldiers to resist the frenzy of the Heavenly River, and never let it flow into the human world again. ”
When I took this sword, I realized that it was terrifyingly heavy, and I realized that it was cold and piercing. "This?"
"Also, when I met the gods in Heaven, I ordered them to rush here and help me repair the embankment."
"I ...... I'm just a mortal. ”
The Emperor of Heaven sighed, "Although you are only a mortal, you are more responsible than many high-ranking gods, you are my heir, seeing you with a sword in hand is like seeing me, the heavenly court is in great trouble, but they don't know at all, you don't have to be polite to them, just order them directly, if anyone disobeys the order, he will definitely ask for sin." ”
I was still a little hesitant, worried about whether I could control those gods, Ao Long gently grabbed me, and said slowly. "Brother Xian, don't think about it, since the Emperor of Heaven has entrusted you with a heavy task, whether you are a mortal or a god, you should spare no effort to complete it," Ao Long coughed with pain in every word, making me really unable to hesitate anymore.
"Good! Let's go. I patted Pegasus on the slender neck.
Tenma flew off the ground with me and Otaki. Like a wisp of green smoke drifting into the night.
The smoke of gunpowder in the south, the torrent in the north, the heavenly court at this moment no longer has the delicacy of yesterday, it is like a wasteland.
At this moment, the downtown area has suffered the baptism of Tianhe water, the water has accumulated to the knee position, a vast sea, yesterday's wine flag lanterns are floating on the water at this moment, and the noisy scene is no longer there. The pouring of the heavenly river disrupted the night of the celestial gods' revelry, and they all complained and wailed below, some naked looking for their clothes, some drunk in the river and laughing, and the palace ladies were frightened and leaned against the walls, hiding their faces and weeping.
"Brother Xian, quickly order these people to repair the embankment, otherwise the water will get bigger and bigger." Ao Long kept reminding me.
At this moment, in this condescending sky, my heart has no confidence, and I said to Ao Long nervously. "Brother Ao, I was in the Lingxiao Hall that day, and many gods wanted to kill me."
"Don't be afraid." Ao Long comforted me with a weak tone. "You are no longer just an ordinary mortal now, with this sword, you are the incarnation of the Emperor of Heaven."
The gods below finally saw me, and saw the sword in my hand. For a time, all eyes widened.
"It's that mortal! Kill him! "Such intimidation keeps coming from the ground.
I raised my sword, mustered up courage, and shouted to them. "The Heavenly Emperor's sword is here, order you to go to Tianhe quickly, and those who violate the order will be severely punished!"
Hearing this, the gods began to look at each other and look directly at each other. I could vaguely hear them talking. "Chi You Sword! This is indeed the sword of the Emperor of Heaven, how could it be in his hands. "Is this kid really a close confidant of the Emperor of Heaven? Otherwise, how could he be allowed to stay in the Lingxiao Hall that day. ”
I tried to explain why, but Ao Long hurriedly stopped me. "It's useless to talk too much, they will believe such a short order, let's go quickly."
We continued to fly south, through a messy downtown area, to the back of the dormitory, which was supposed to be a place for the gods to rest and live, but at the moment it was very noisy, and there was a lot of scolding, and many exquisite decorations and furniture were floating on the water, and the gods were swimming in the water, snatching the belongings that had fallen into the water, and it seemed that their home had been completely washed away.
"What's going on? Why did the Tianhe River burst its embankment again? ”
"Those people who manage Tianhe are really waste, they can't take care of Tianhe, pity my newly decorated home!"
I don't have the slightest mercy for them, the South Heavenly Gate is fighting endlessly at the moment, the heavenly river in the north has been broken, but they are still here, as if nothing has happened, only care about their own little interests.
"Listen to you, the gods, put down all your belongings and go to the heavenly river to repair the embankment, and those who violate the order will be punished." I raised my sword and shouted.
In fact, the Emperor of Heaven did not say that those who violated the order would be beheaded, but when I saw their strange appearance that they had nothing to do with themselves, my anger and blood surged, so I deliberately said that the punishment was heavier.
When these gods heard this, their expressions were almost exactly the same as those in the downtown area just now, and they were stunned for a moment, and then they began to talk to each other.
"This kid is holding the sword of the Emperor of Heaven, it seems that this is the order of the Emperor of Heaven!"
"Let's not pick up our own treasures here, if we really disobey the order of the Emperor of Heaven because of this, it is really worth the loss to be cut off."
"Hurry, hurry! Let's go to Tianhe! ”
Eventually, the gods were in a commotion like ants, and swam north one after another.
I didn't have time to celebrate, so I continued to ride the Pegasus to the south, when the water of the Celestial River had begun to pour into the Qianchao District, and if we did not stop it between its flow to the cracks in the Nantianmen, the consequences would be unimaginable, and even a small amount of the Celestial River would become a torrential rain for several days.
The river is eroding the towering palaces in the former dynasty area little by little, and the explosion just now has caused a huge crack to appear on the central axis of the entire heavenly court, this crack is particularly terrifying to observe in the sky above the former dynasty area, the thirty-six heavenly palaces of the heavenly realm, and the seventy-two treasure halls, at this moment, they are actually connected by this shocking crack, and it seems that if it is slightly pressed again, the entire heavenly court will be broken in two. Fortunately, most of the palaces here are on the towering pedestal, and the water does not rush into the palace, plus at this point in time, the former dynasty area can be said to be uninhabited, so we gave up here, and quickly flew over the former dynasty area and went straight to the Nantianmen.
We need to make sure that we are faster than the current.
The closer you get to the southernmost point, the clearer the shouts and artillery fire become. Under the fierce confrontation between the two armies, not only Nantianmen, but even the first palace in the north of Nantianmen, the Reception Hall, has been reduced to ruins at this moment. Smoke poured from the glass wreckage, and the floor was littered with crumbling ruins.
Pegasus slowly descended to the open space leading to the Dragon Pavilion on the south side of the South Heavenly Gate, not daring to trample on the opposite side too hard, because the ground was full of jagged cracks, and it could fall at any time.
The soldiers of Ryugu were preparing to fire a new round of water cannons, but through the thick smoke screen, they seemed to see that it was me and Ao Taki who were carrying the heavenly horses.
"Look! It's the boss. The soldiers of the Dragon Palace suddenly cheered. The colt rescued the boss. ”
"Brother!" Yuluo saw Ao Long, her eyes finally became gentle, and she hurriedly ran over to pick up Ao Long.
"You fool." Ao Long gently stroked Yuluo's cheek and did not blame her for it.
Seeing that his brother had finally returned, Yuluo's previous anger had subsided by half, and he was no longer so hysterical, just silently hugging Ao Long and crying.
"Brothers of the Dragon Palace, I don't have time to explain now, cough-cough-cough." Ao Long spoke intermittently, "As the Dragon King, I ask you to set up a shield array to surround the huge crack in the South Heavenly Gate. Ao Long took a deep breath and said this sentence tremblingly.
"Why! Brother. "The rain falls a little puzzled." We're at war with Heaven right now, what's the use of encircling that rift? ”
Ao Long didn't say anything, he was seriously injured now, and he probably didn't have the extra strength to explain anything.
The soldiers of the Dragon Palace will obey Yuluo's orders when they don't have Aolong, and at this moment Ao Long reappeared, they naturally had to take the Dragon King's instructions as the standard, they didn't hesitate, the fish demon left the bow and arrow in his hand, the crab demon also threw away the axe, and all the soldiers gathered together and raised those shields together. This is really a well-trained army, and without a moment's pause, it switches to another formation.
Seeing this scene, the heavenly soldiers led by Zhu Rong stood in place at a loss, and also stopped attacking.
I jumped off the Pegasus, took the Emperor's sword, and ran towards the Heavenly Soldiers.
"Mortal, why do you hold the Heavenly Emperor's sword in your hand?" Zhu Rong put away the strong flames on his body and transformed into a human form, which really surprised me, the shocking fire god figure just now turned out to be a red-haired woman, with a beautiful face, only a red rose-textured cloak on her body, only a thin gauze scarf on her chest and waist, wheat-colored skin looming through the tulle, and many strange tattoos engraved on her wrists, which had an exotic style.
"Zhurong Heavenly God, I don't have time to explain, seeing the sword is like seeing the Emperor of Heaven, please do what I say."
Zhu Rong didn't say anything more, just stood quietly in place.
"Please order the Heavenly Soldiers to stop attacking the Dragon Palace, and also set up a shield array like those Dragon Palace soldiers, and encircle the rift of the South Heavenly Gate with them."
Hearing these words, those sweaty, disgraced heavenly soldiers shouted and cursed one after another. "They have hurt us so badly, how can we stand with them."
Yuluo, who was far behind, was shocked to hear my words. "Brother, what is the husband doing, how dare he order the heavenly soldiers."
Zhu Rong looked at me with angry eyes, I knew that she was playing with me, and if I flinched in the slightest during this period, she would not take this order, but I persevered, and I looked at her firmly, with an unquestioning look, until she spoke.
"Do as this mortal says." Zhu Rong waved his hand and commanded the heavenly soldiers behind him, these heavenly soldiers moved quickly, although they were very puzzled, but they quickly set up a formation and stood with those Dragon Palace soldiers.
This is the last hope!
"Zhu Rong Heavenly God, please stand with me at the back of the South Heavenly Gate, so as not to be knocked down by the waves."
"What do you mean?" She looked at me with some confusion.
I seemed to have heard the sound of the heavenly river coming, and knowing that I didn't have time to explain to her, I grabbed her hand in a hurry and pulled her to the open space to the south. Her hands were hot, far hotter than human body temperatures, and there was a tingling sensation after scratching for a long time.
"You ......" Zhu Rong was frightened by my move, but still said indifferently. Right and believe in you for once"
As soon as I walked to the southernmost side, the turbulent Tianhe River hit me head-on. The Receiving Hall was the first palace north of the South Heavenly Gate, it was relatively low in itself, and it did not have a towering pedestal like the Lingxiao Palace, and it was half covered by the river in an instant, and it was not until this moment that these soldiers knew why they were erecting high walls.
"We must block this most violent wave of water, if such a large amount of heavenly river water flows into the mortal world, the consequences will be unimaginable." Ao Long pleaded.
Although the soldiers came from different regions, they knew the seriousness of the matter in their hearts at this time, and they grabbed each other and folded their shields into a small mountain.
"Listen to the rain, this is not for the heavenly court, this is for ourselves, and you must use the greatest mana to block the river with those soldiers in a while."
At this time, Yuluo had regained her senses, and she would not ignore her brother's words, she transformed into the form I saw at the bottom of the West Lake, and flew into the sky.
The water of the heavenly river has invaded and is close at hand. Whether the mortal world can escape this catastrophe or not depends on this move.
The "giant beast" that had been restrained for a long time became hungry at this moment, and rushed straight towards the shield array, hitting it headlong with an earth-shattering bang, and I felt like my ears were about to be punctured.
This powerful momentum sent several soldiers directly into the bottomless abyss under the breach, but fortunately the first wave of impact was disintegrated. It's just that the strength of this river is far more than that, and the shield block blocks the river, but it makes the subsequent torrent turn into a stormy wave, and the second wave of impact is even more violent.
I saw that the faces of those soldiers were bruised, as if they were using their last strength, just a few people were rushed down, these soldiers also learned their lessons, they clung to each other tighter, at this time they didn't care whether it was a god or a demon, whether it was a heavenly court or a dragon palace, everyone was connected into a tight fortress.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The huge wave of water shook the entire shield array back and forth, and it looked like it was about to fall into the breach.
The rain fell and jumped into the river, and began to stir vigorously on the surface of the water, in order to dissolve its power, her figure in a clear river like a blue lotus, blue and deep.
Zhu Rong, the god of fire beside me, also turned into her original form, and a huge flame was formed on her body, and she stretched out her hands and began to use the flames to scorch the river water that gushed out from the gap in the shield, and the river water was directly evaporated into smoke when it was exposed to the heat.
Everyone managed to keep the flood beast out of the crack, and only a small remnant of it fell by accident, but this was completely acceptable.
After the second wave of the flood failed, it was deflated and no longer had strength, but it was the power generated by the concerted efforts of countless people that it began to flow back and slowly flow north.
