Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1214 1189: Ye Chen Lends a Hand

Witnessing the Peace Talisman being shattered by Nezha, Ye Chen promptly pursued.

He understood Nezha was his client, and his demise would mean forfeiting the system's reward.

However, Nezha's pace was exceptionally swift, rendering Ye Chen's electric bike utterly incapable of keeping up.

His heart was filled with earnest hope that no harm would befall Nezha, not only for his own benefit but also for the young demigod's well-being.

After all, Ye Chen harbored a deep sense of pity for this child, who had endured relentless public condemnation since birth, bearing immense mental burdens at such a tender age.

Arriving at the Li Residence, Nezha discovered his parents locked in a desperate struggle against his companion, the Little White Dragon Ao Bing.

Previously, Nezha had consistently regarded Ao Bing as a steadfast friend, even making a special trip to the seaside to extend an invitation to his birthday celebration.

Yet, in an unexpected turn of events, former comrades-in-arms found themselves in opposition. This conflict stemmed primarily from Ao Bing bearing the hopes of the entire Dragon Clan; only by vanquishing Nezha, born from the Demon Pill, could the Dragons escape eternal imprisonment within the sea, a seemingly unending purgatory.

The parents of Li Jing, being mere mortals, were utterly outmatched against the Spirit Pearl reincarnation, the Little White Dragon Ao Bing. Compounding their disadvantage, Ao Bing was clad in the Dragon Armor bestowed by the Dragon Race, rendering him impervious to any weapon's strike or breach.

Upon observing his parents on the precipice of defeat at the hands of his dear friend, the Little White Dragon Ao Bing, Nezha remained silent no longer. Wielding the Heaven-Confusing Silk and the Fire-tipped Spear, he engaged Ao Bing, thereby safeguarding his father and mother.

After ensuring the safety of the two individuals closest to his heart, he ascended once more to the heavens to continue his confrontation with Ao Bing.

Elsewhere, Taoyi Immortal was immersed in a fierce combat with Shen Gongbao, their battle raging intermittently above ground and beneath the earth.

A sense of profound satisfaction washed over Taoyi Immortal as he observed his beloved disciple return to intervene.

He recognized that Nezha had finally achieved genuine enlightenment. But what true import did this realization hold on a day marked by the Celestial Thunder Tribulation?

Escape was an impossibility for Nezha, a fact that left Taoyi Immortal with a pang of deep regret.

Li Jing, upon learning of Nezha's defiance in shattering the talisman, was filled with sorrow. He felt the crushing weight of paternal powerlessness, unable even to rescue his own son.

Nezha, keenly aware of his dwindling time, and facing the imminent peril to the populace of Chentang Pass at the hands of the Little White Dragon Ao Bing, resolved to protect them.

In doing so, he would achieve a measure of peace, free from any lingering regrets.

Furthermore, recognizing the profound love extended to him by his parents and his mentor, Nezha made the decision to depart from this world, enveloped by their affection.

Despite the animosity and rejection from the people of Chentang Pass, these three souls continued to cherish him.

As the Little White Dragon Ao Bing relentlessly intensified the descent of the colossal iceberg, Nezha mustered all his might to resist its crushing force. In this critical moment, his form began to expand, transcending his childlike appearance.

Li Jing and his wife watched with expressions etched with dire worry, their voices choked with emotion as they cried out their son's name.

"Nezha, Nezha."

After all, Ao Bing was a reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl, blessed with formidable magical prowess and guided by the esteemed Shen Gongbao as his mentor.

Despite Nezha's valiant struggle against him, he still managed a smile and addressed his parents, proclaiming, "My destiny is my own to command, not dictated by the heavens; whether I am a demon or an immortal, the choice is mine."

Li Jing and his wife perceived a profound transformation in their son, recognizing he had truly matured and gained wisdom. His words were intended to offer them solace.

The couple clung to each other, tears streaming down their faces, acutely aware that the impending loss of their son was inevitable.

At this critical juncture, Ye Chen arrived at breakneck speed, navigating the thoroughfares on his electric bike.

Gazing upon the battlefield, he resolved to render his assistance.

Ye Chen typically maintained a detached stance from mundane affairs, but the present circumstances compelled him to act; the fate of his client directly impacted his own.

Having parked his electric bike securely, he soared into the sky.

Amidst the chaos, this unexpected arrival went unnoticed. Meanwhile, Li Jing and his wife offered fervent prayers, yearning for Nezha's deliverance from the impending catastrophe.

Ao Bing, weary of prolonging the confrontation with Nezha, decided to expedite the conclusion by invoking the Celestial Thunder Tribulation.

Concurrently, he channeled his formidable mana to relentlessly augment the downward pressure exerted by the iceberg.

Nezha acutely felt the escalating burden from above. Gritting his teeth, he pushed upwards with even greater exertion.

He understood that failure to withstand this immense pressure would doom the inhabitants of Chentang Pass and his beloved parents.

These were the very people his parents had striven to protect, and as their son, Nezha felt an unshakeable duty to aid them in this endeavor.

Moreover, with his cherished parents positioned below, how could he possibly falter?

Nezha felt an agonizing sensation, as if his very arms were on the verge of being pulverized.

It was at this precise moment that he beheld that familiar countenance once more.

"Big brother, what brings you here?" Nezha managed to utter with great difficulty.

Ye Chen offered a reassuring smile and replied, "Naturally, I am here to assist you. Hold on just a little longer, and I shall deal with Ao Bing."

With his words delivered, Ye Chen ascended rapidly towards the heavens.

With a furious glare directed at Ao Bing, Ye Chen commanded, "Cease this at once, or you shall face retribution."

However, Ao Bing, solely focused on the mission bestowed by the Dragon Race, was utterly deaf to Ye Chen's words.

"Mind your own affairs," Ao Bing retorted, launching an assault towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen mused that things had escalated to a fight so quickly; if that was the case, he would show no restraint.

"Obstinate and foolish," Ye Chen bellowed, his fist hurtling towards Ao Bing's face.

Clad in the Ten Thousand Dragon Armor, which rendered him impervious to all weaponry, Ao Bing felt no apprehension towards Ye Chen's impending strike.

He made no move to defend, a smug smile gracing his lips.

Ye Chen inwardly anticipated the moment this conceited fellow would realize the punch's true might.

As predicted, Ao Bing was sent hurtling backward like a sack of sand struck by the blow.

He crashed onto the ground, his expression a mask of disbelief as he watched Ye Chen advance.

It was utterly contrary to his expectations; with the Ten Thousand Dragon Armor, he shouldn't have been knocked down, but rather the attacker should have been repelled.

Suddenly, Nezha felt the oppressive weight above him significantly lessen; he cast his gaze downward, witnessing Ao Bing already prone on the earth.

Seizing this opportune moment, Nezha utilized his flames to melt the colossal iceberg, and consequently, rain commenced to pour from the heavens.

With the immediate conflict resolved, Nezha finally exhaled a breath of profound relief.

Just then, he detected the distant voice of his mentor.

"Disciple, hasten to my aid!"

Nezha turned his eyes towards the source of the sound, spotting Taoyi Immortal in front and Shen Gongbao in pursuit.

Due to his considerable girth, Taoyi Immortal struggled to maintain a proper running pace, narrowly avoiding Shen Gongbao's attacks on several occasions.

Nezha swiftly moved to intervene, harboring a strong desire to administer a stern lesson to the malevolent Shen Gongbao.

Taoyi Immortal, having clearly observed Ye Chen's confrontation with Ao Bing, inquired of Nezha, "Who is that individual clad in yellow robes?"

"He informed me that he is a delivery man."

Taoyi Immortal fell into contemplation upon hearing this, eventually shaking his head as he could not recall any immortal by that description.

However, the present circumstances did not lend themselves to pondering such matters; the paramount concern was to swiftly subdue Shen Gongbao.

Ye Chen, looking down at Ao Bing sprawled on the ground, inquired, "You were once close companions; why are you acting in this manner?"

"I am the reincarnation of the Demon Pill, and he is the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl. Heaven has decreed Nezha's demise; my actions are merely the execution of Heaven's will," Ao Bing declared with an air of righteousness.
