Chapter 266 Curing the Weak Water 3
"I can see that you're not truly my enemy, so why won't you let me go?"
The flowing water blocked everyone's view. Surrounded by water, Yang Jiao listened to Ruoshui expose his tricks without the slightest panic.
"I just feel a connection with you, and I'm wondering if you'd like to come with me?"
"Go with you?" Ruoshui sneered. "Don't try to fool me. Tianpeng can't fool me, and you certainly can't. Let me descend to the mortal realm!"
Yang Jiao casually deflected Ruoshui's attack, gazing at Tianpeng lost in the Milky Way in the distance, and asked with a smile, "So, you're taking Tianpeng with you?"
"He promised me that he would give up everything, stop caring about right and wrong in the three realms, and be with me."
"Did he agree to your request, or did you mislead him?"
A seasoned veteran at cutting people's hearts, Yang Jiao didn't care about Ruoshui's feelings at all and continued, "If Tianpeng really agrees, you won't be able to say that he lied to you."
"Shut up!"
Several streams of weak water surged towards Yang Jiao at the same time, but Yang Jiao easily deflected them and said, "You're the same. Your heart is so firm in the mortal realm, so why did you bring along a fickle Tianpeng? Isn't that just adding a burden for nothing?"
"What do you know? Tianpeng is the only one who's willing to talk to me!"
"He's in charge of guarding the Milky Way, it would be strange if he didn't accompany me."
"Get out of my way!"
Unwilling to say more to him, Ruoshui was determined to leave.
"This isn't a question of whether I'll give way or not," Yang Jiao sighed. "With such a good whetstone as you, Third Sister should have grown up by now."
Ruoshui ignored him, knowing she couldn't win, and withdrew most of her water flow, leaving only a small stream to deal with Yang Jiao. She knew anyway that while he was unpleasant to talk to, he was quite good at shirking his responsibilities.
"Why are you still running away? It's rare for us to be destined to meet, and you don't even cherish it."
Yang Jiao sighed, while Ao Bing remained silent. "Anyone we've met along the way has been unlucky, hasn't they? What's so special about them?"
He even asked why they ran away. Doesn't he realize how hurtful his words were?
Not far away, in the battle with the Weak Water, Yang Chan completely mastered the Lotus Lantern. The light from the lantern shone brightly, keeping most of the Weak Water outside the light barrier.
"Ruoshui," Yang Chan called out to Ruoshui, "I can feel your gentleness and kindness. How can you bear to devour those innocent lives?"
The Weak Water took human form: "I don't want to hurt anyone, but I never want to go back."
Yang Chan blinked. Perhaps because she possessed the Lotus Lantern, she was more able to perceive other people's emotions. She sensed boundless loneliness from Ruoshui's words.
At this moment, she felt as if she had become one with the Weak Water, having shared its millennia of silent solitude. She wanted to give the Weak Water strength and support.
When she opened her eyes, Ruoshui seemed to have returned to the past. It was as if there was someone who had supported and accompanied her through millions of years. So when she looked at Yang Chan again, her gaze softened considerably.
"Weak Water, I can understand you, but you cannot descend to the mortal realm. If you devour those lives, you will not be happy; you will only feel more pain!"
"Ruoshui, go back. I can come and keep you company. I can bring other people to keep you company. You won't be lonely anymore."
Looking into Yang Chan's earnest eyes, Ruoshui was somewhat moved.
At this moment, the Great Golden Crow arrived from behind and, taking advantage of the Weak Water's unpreparedness, pulled Tianpeng out of the Milky Way.
Sensing all this, Ruoshui suddenly turned around, and the golden wheel of the Great Golden Crow was pointed at her: "Ruoshui, go back. Tianpeng will not go with you!"
"No!"
Ruoshui was enraged again. She turned to look at Yang Chan with a determined gaze, "I must leave. I don't want to stay here and wait for someone else to be with me!"
After saying that, Ruoshui ignored Yang Chan's persuasion and did not want to get entangled with them endlessly. It split into many streams and rushed off in all directions.
"Weak Water!"
Yang Chan was too late to stop it, and no matter how reluctant she was, she could only activate the power of the Lotus Lantern: "I'm sorry, Ruoshui, for the sake of peace in the human world, I cannot let you go down."
Water flows downhill, but the bright light of the Lotus Lantern blocked the force of the water, forcing the Weak Water to flow back to Heaven.
Seeing that Ruoshui was forced to retreat by the Lotus Lantern, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and escorted Yang Chan slowly back to the Heavenly Court.
"The South Heavenly Gate is just ahead."
Gazing at the faintly visible plaque in the distance, Yang Jian spoke up. At this moment, they couldn't help their third sister; they could only watch as she single-handedly resisted the Weak Water.
At this moment, Nezha leaped out from the South Heavenly Gate and shouted at them, "The dam of the Heavenly River has been repaired! Quickly send the Weak Water back!"
Upon hearing this, the Great Golden Crow's expression eased slightly: "Once you enter the Southern Heavenly Gate, the Weak Water will be trapped."
Knowing her predicament, Ruoshui intensified her divine power to resist the Lotus Lantern.
Having only recently acquired the Lotus Lantern, Yang Chan's magical power was insufficient, and she showed obvious signs of fatigue.
Yang Chan momentarily lost her focus, then steeled herself and truly transformed into two halves of Weak Water. She left most of her power to defend against the Lotus Lantern's attack, while the other half transformed into an extremely fine stream, which slipped away and quickly rushed down to the lower realm.
"ah……"
"Third Sister!"
Yang Chan lost her balance, and Yang Jian quickly stepped forward to support her. Yang Chan anxiously said, "I'll stay here, Big Brother, Second Brother, you must go after them!"
Yao Ji also spoke up decisively: "I'll stay with Third Sister, you all go quickly."
The Great Golden Crow nodded in agreement: "I'll stay here too."
"good."
Yang Jian agreed and, together with Yang Jiao, chased after them to the lower realm. Nezha followed closely behind, calling out, "Wait for me, I'm coming too!"
In order to embrace freedom, they lost most of their power. But the Weak Water fell even faster, and before they could catch up, it had already rushed to the lower realm.
Of course, Ruoshui was subtly persuaded by Yang Chan, and in order to reduce the damage and also to avoid being tracked, she ran towards the sea.
The seawater surged instantly, and both the underwater palace and the coastal buildings were impacted by the giant waves.
"Ao Bing, it's time for you to shine. Go!"
As Yang Jiao spoke softly, Ao Bing in his hand instantly transformed into his true form in mid-air, letting out a dragon roar as he plunged into the water to save people.
Upon seeing the familiar place where the Weak Water had struck, Nezha's expression changed drastically: "It's Chen Tang Pass!"
Even if he no longer wanted to acknowledge Li Jing, he couldn't ignore the people of Chentang Pass. In the past, he was willing to pull out Ao Bing's dragon tendons for the sake of the people; now, he would naturally do everything in his power to save them.
"Erlang, Nezha, you take the people to rescue the people, I'm going to find Ruoshui!"
"Okay, be careful, brother."
Yang Jian nodded and rushed with Nezha toward the people who were drowning in the water.
Yu Ding Zhenren and Yang Tianyou arrived with Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, Xiao Tianquan, Shan Jun, Hu Wu, and Hu Mei to rescue people. Even the Three-Headed Flood Dragon transformed into its true form, surging through the water like Ao Bing to save the people.
Not only them, but Ao Bing also roared to the sky, using the dragon clan's unique method of sound transmission to call upon his fellow clansmen.
Soon, dragons from the East Sea, West Sea, and other regions arrived and began the rescue. White dragons, gold dragons, black dragons, and even pink dragons thrashed about in the waves. Whether they were civilians or little spirits who had fallen into the water, they were all rescued one by one.
