Chapter 10

"Boom!"

A loud noise came from the direction of the Man residence. The black dragon let out a deafening roar, rising into the sky and quickly flying out of the city.

A golden light shot up, as the eagle followed the black dragon, dashing out.

In the distance, Man Zhongtian and Man Zhong were still quite far away.

"Oh no, something's wrong at the Man residence!" Man Zhong suddenly exclaimed.

He had come here to gather reinforcements, hoping the eagle would protect Jiang Tai for a while. But now that the eagle had flown away, what would happen to Jiang Tai?

"Father, quickly, go save Little Tai!" Man Zhong shouted anxiously.

Man Zhongtian's face turned serious, knowing the situation was urgent, but they were still quite far away.

With no choice, Man Zhongtian could only advance with all his might.

"Boom!"

Man Zhongtian quickly rushed towards the Man residence—

The demons were in chaos, and a fierce battle was raging between the people and the demons at the Man residence. The center, however, was the calmest.

The demons also knew of Zong Li's grudge, so none of them dared to interfere in the conflict between Zong Li and Jiang Tai.

Zong Li was covered in blood, but his eyes gleamed with a predatory excitement.

"Brat, no one has ever dared to humiliate me like this. You're the first. How do you want to die, huh?" Zong Li said with a sinister look.

As he spoke, Zong Li slowly stood up, his eyes cold and predatory.

Jiang Tai, with his back to Zong Li, did not flee at that moment. He knew that even if he tried to escape, he wouldn't get far. He had to face death to survive.

Zong Li's hatred had to be vented, and he was thinking about how to kill the brat to satisfy his anger.

No matter what, he had to catch him first.

He extended his hand, generating a suction force to grab Jiang Tai.

Jiang Tai suddenly felt the suction force and burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, Zong Li!"

With a loud shout, Jiang Tai suddenly turned around.

His laughter was so sharp that even amidst the numerous battles, it was extremely loud.

The powerful fighters in the surrounding battles were suddenly stunned. What was going on?

Some of the powerful fighters who were not involved in the battle, like Chen Yi and Chen Jiu, also looked at the soon-to-die Jiang Tai in shock.

"Sister, what's wrong with that brat? What kind of expression is that? Is he possessed by a ghost?" Chen Jiu exclaimed.

Curiosity filled the surroundings.

Jiang Tai's sudden turn also made Zong Li, who was about to attack, pause slightly.

The scene was extremely bizarre. How could a two-year-old child have such a sinister expression?

Seeing Zong Li pause, Jiang Tai was relieved. Wei Xiaobao's 'Big Laugh Distracting Technique' was indeed a necessary opening move for deception.

"Brat?" Zong Li's eyelids twitched slightly, and he said coldly.

A chill swept over him, but Jiang Tai could not retreat. He took a step towards Zong Li.

This step made the surrounding people even more shocked.

"Is that brat looking for death? He's walking towards Zong Li?"

"Is he not afraid of death?"

"Is he crazy?"

...

Zong Li's eyes were filled with intense confusion. His mind had not yet fully recovered from the earlier shock. Seeing Jiang Tai face him now, he tried to suppress the shock in his heart.

"Hmph, are you out of your mind? Even so, you will die!" Zong Li said with a cold tone.

"Out of my mind? Hahahaha, Zong Li, you really don't recognize me? I told you I would come back. Our grudge is not settled yet!" Jiang Tai took another step forward, his face twisted with hatred.

This was not the expression a two-year-old child should have, and the tone was also wrong.

Many people far away couldn't hear what Jiang Tai said clearly, but his sinister face frightened many.

"What's going on?"

"Is that brat possessed by a ghost?"

"Is he familiar with Zong Li?"

...

If it were before coming to Wanqiu, Zong Li's mind wouldn't have hesitated, but the earlier shock made him extremely sensitive. The child in front of him was too strange.

At this moment, Jiang Tai took another step forward, a cold smile on his face.

"Who are you?" Zong Li's eyes flickered with uncertainty.

Jiang Tai was tense, hoping Zong Li would ask who he was. It was good that he did.

"Hahahaha, who am I? You really have a bad memory, don't you? You've been living so well. Back then, I couldn't destroy you, but now I'm back. Where will you run this time?" Jiang Tai said with a cold tone.

A sinister and cold expression on a child's face was truly terrifying.

Zong Li's mind was already shaken, and now he was even more sensitive. Countless memories flashed through his mind, trying to find a memory that matched the current scene.

"Who are you really?" Zong Li took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

Jiang Tai saw that Zong Li was about to lose it. He had to deceive him. Who was he pretending to be? He didn't know.

"I come from the State of Chu. Have you forgotten?" Jiang Tai said coldly.

This area belonged to the Chu alliance. There must be someone who had a grudge against Zong Li nearby, right? No matter who it was! To be safe, Jiang Tai didn't mention a distant place.

"Chu? Chu?" Zong Li quickly recalled.

Jiang Tai looked at Zong Li coldly, but his feet didn't stop. He took another step, as if to increase the pressure on Zong Li.

"Is it you?" Zong Li suddenly exclaimed, a hint of panic appearing in his eyes.

He recognized him? Jiang Tai was overjoyed.

"Wu Zixu, are you Wu Zixu? Have you come to take revenge on me?" Zong Li exclaimed, his nerves taut.

Wu Zixu?

Many powerful fighters far away looked at Jiang Tai in confusion.

"Is Wu Zixu reincarnated?"

"That's not right. Wu Zixu didn't die; he's in the State of Wu!"

"Is that brat Wu Zixu? Could it be that he used some secret method to take over the brat's consciousness?"

...

The surroundings were filled with surprise.

Jiang Tai was shocked. Wu Zixu? He seemed to have a vague memory from his previous life. Yes, Wu Zixu, a Chu native, whose clan was exterminated by the Chu king, fled to the State of Wu, and his hair turned white overnight to escape the search. He was a historical figure.

Does Zong Li have a grudge against Wu Zixu?

Although he was surprised, he had to continue the deception.

"You finally recognized me! I have a long memory, don't you remember?" Jiang Tai said coldly.

"That's not right. How could you be Wu Zixu?" Zong Li suddenly became more lucid.

"Of course, this is not my true form. I didn't expect you to enter Wanqiu tonight. Hmph, but no matter where you run, you will die!" Jiang Tai said dryly, but he was worried. Was he running out of ideas?

Zong Li suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

"Yes, this can't be your true form. You used a great divine thought to possess this child. Where is your true form? Where is it?" Zong Li exclaimed in fear.

Jiang Tai was taken aback. Did Zong Li figure it out on his own? Not bad, thinking on his feet!

Many powerful fighters far away were shocked.

Those with good hearing were shocked by the brat's identity, while those with weaker hearing were shocked by the current situation.

"Sister, what did that brat say? I can't hear it. How did it turn into this? He's walking towards Zong Li, and Zong Li looks terrified!" Chen Jiu scratched his head, making it look like a chicken's nest.

He couldn't understand what was happening.

This was a heaven-defying moment. In a blink, a little rabbit turned into a big wolf?

Chen Yi stared at Jiang Tai, his brows deeply furrowed, silent.

"Where is your true form?" Zong Li, whose mind was still shaken, thought of a terrifying possibility and exclaimed.

Jiang Tai's face was cold, but he was anxious. Where? How would he know? He didn't even know the geography around Wanqiu.

"Where? Haven't you already guessed? Hmm?" Jiang Tai continued, trying to bluff.

"Taohu Mountain, you went to Taohu Mountain. How is my wife? How is she?" Zong Li exclaimed, thinking on his feet.

Jiang Tai sighed in relief. Zong Li thought Wu Zixu had invaded his stronghold?

"Hahahaha, what do you think?" Jiang Tai suddenly laughed loudly.

Zong Li felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar: "What do you think?"

If Zong Li's mind hadn't been shaken, he wouldn't have been led by Jiang Tai's words. Of course, Jiang Tai's tone also affected the numerous powerful fighters around, after all, a two-year-old child was too strange.

Zong Li's face showed fear, and he thought of a terrifying scene.

"You can't kill her. Her father is the Green Robe Ancestor. You can't kill her!" Zong Li exclaimed in fear.

Who is the Green Robe Ancestor? Jiang Tai was confused, but his expression didn't change.

"Green Robe Ancestor? Hahahaha, do you think I'm afraid of him?" Jiang Tai said coldly.

"Yes, you have the support of the State of Wu. You can't be afraid of the Green Robe Ancestor. But, no, Wu Zixu, it was my fault back then. I shouldn't have coveted the Chu reward to hunt you down. But, there were many who hunted you. Why did you single me out? Why?" Zong Li said with a mix of sorrow and anger.

"Single you out? Hmph, you're wrong. Besides you, I will take revenge on each one of them!" Jiang Tai said coldly.

Zong Li shuddered again.

Jiang Tai took another step forward, and Zong Li took a step back.

The powerful fighters far away, who couldn't hear the conversation, were about to break down. This situation was wrong. Has the world changed?

"If you kill my wife, even if you don't kill me, the Green Robe Ancestor will destroy me!" Zong Li's face showed fear, and it gradually twisted.

As if he was ready to die with Zong Li.

Jiang Tai read the situation and immediately said, "She's not dead yet!"

These words instantly dispelled Zong Li's thoughts of mutual destruction.

"Wu Zixu, it was my fault back then. I'm willing to make amends. Please, let me and my wife go!" Zong Li said with a tragic expression.

As he spoke, Zong Li knelt on one knee. At the same time, he clenched his fists. If 'Wu Zixu' didn't agree, he would die with him.

Chen Jiu's hair was pulled out in clumps.

Kneeling? Zong Li actually knelt? The world is too crazy!

Even the battles around gradually weakened. The scene at the center of the demons was too bizarre. How did it come to this?

Jiang Tai saw Zong Li's clenched fists and instantly understood his thoughts.

"Compensation? I'll see what you can offer!" Jiang Tai said coldly.

At this, Zong Li's heart felt like a roller coaster. Could he not die?

"Taohu Mountain has a great secret...!" Zong Li immediately said.

At this moment, Man Zhongtian and Man Zhong, who were anxious and panicked, also arrived nearby. Man Zhongtian flew into the air, heading straight for the center.

"Little Tai, you must be okay!" Man Zhong kept praying.

But as he prayed, he noticed something was wrong.

What was happening at the center? Little Tai was standing there unharmed, while Zong Li was covered in blood, kneeling in front of Little Tai?

Man Zhong's eyes nearly popped out. What the—!

"Taohu Mountain's secret?" Jiang Tai asked in confusion.

At this moment, a loud shout came from the sky.

"Zong Li, how dare you cause trouble at my Man residence?" a loud shout echoed.

A powerful force descended from the sky, heading straight for Zong Li.

Zong Li's face changed suddenly, and he looked up. But the force came too quickly. Zong Li's mind was still shaken, and he was severely injured. How could he resist?

"Boom!"

The ground in the center shook violently.

"Thud!"

Jiang Tai was also thrown to the ground by the shock.

"Residents of Wanqiu, capture the demons!" a loud shout came from the center.

"Yes!" numerous people who recognized the voice immediately shouted.

"Boom!"

The battles around resumed, and those who had been watching from the sidelines also joined the battlefield.

In an instant, the ground shook, and sand and stones flew.

"Man Zhongtian!" Zong Li shouted in anger from the center.

Jiang Tai quickly got up.

"Whoosh!" A figure suddenly appeared beside Jiang Tai.

"Little Tai, are you okay?" Man Zhong appeared, surprised.

"Uncle Man, I'm fine!" Jiang Tai was also overjoyed.

Uncle Man was back, and he was finally safe.

"Rumble!"

The surroundings were in chaos, and the Man residence was reduced to ruins.

Jiang Tai hid beside Man Zhong and immediately looked at Zong Li.

An old man stepped forward, stepping on the injured Zong Li.

"Man Zhongtian, you take advantage of my weakness, Man Zhongtian!" Zong Li shouted in anger.

"Hahahaha, taking advantage of your weakness? Are you even human? Zong Li, although we are both at the Earth Ascension stage, are you my match? Besides, you are severely injured now!" Man Zhongtian laughed loudly.

As he stepped forward, countless golden lights emanated from his feet, pinning Zong Li down.

Zong Li panted heavily, his face showing great sorrow. This night did not go well.

"Is this the Jiang Tai you mentioned?" Man Zhongtian looked at Jiang Tai.

Jiang Tai looked at Man Zhongtian curiously.

"Zong Li, why did you kneel before a child?" Man Zhongtian looked at Zong Li curiously.

Zong Li gritted his teeth, his face twisted, unwilling to answer.

"Little Tai, what happened just now? Why did Zong Li kneel before you?" Man Zhong asked curiously.

Man Zhongtian also looked at Jiang Tai.

Jiang Tai looked at Zong Li, took a deep breath, and said, "It was close just now. He wanted to kill me. I saw no way to escape, so I tried to deceive him. In the end, he scared himself!"

"What?" Zong Li, who was being stepped on, suddenly widened his eyes.

"Thud!"

Far away, many powerful fighters, upon hearing Jiang Tai's words, suddenly trembled, and some were heavily injured by their opponents, spitting out blood.

But even with their injuries, they seemed to not care, their eyes wide open, looking at the brat in the center.

"Is that brat lying?"

"Is he deceiving Zong Li?"

"Is Zong Li being deceived?"

...

In the chaos, the noise was deafening. Not only was Zong Li deceived, but almost everyone was deceived. What the—, this brat!

Zong Li was stunned for a moment.

Deceived?

Deceived by this brat!

"Thud!"

Zong Li spat out a mouthful of blood, his body wilting.

"All demons, flee on your own!" Zong Li finally shouted, fainting.

Whether from his injuries or from anger, he was deceived by a child. Is this brat my nemesis?

"Lord!" the surrounding demons shouted in sorrow.

"Follow the Lord's order, quickly return to Taohu Mountain to report to the Queen. With the Queen and the Green Robe Ancestor's support, the State of Chen won't dare to harm the Lord. Go!" the left guardian shouted.

"Boom!"

The surrounding demons quickly broke through.

At this moment, Man Zhong's older brother, Man Bo, also arrived.

Man Bo looked at Jiang Tai with a strange expression, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Man Bo, what are you doing?" Man Zhongtian said sternly.

Man Bo hesitated for a moment and recounted everything.

Man Zhong was speechless, looking at Jiang Tai with extreme exaggeration, as if he had just met him.

Man Zhongtian was also surprised and then burst into laughter: "To show weakness when you are strong, to show humility when you are proud, to take advantage when the enemy is in chaos, to avoid when the enemy is strong, to provoke when the enemy is angry, to tire when the enemy is at ease, to attack when the enemy is unprepared, to surprise when the enemy is not expecting it. This child is a natural military strategist! Good!"
