The entire mansion was filled with the sound of explosions. Jiang Tai was saved by Man Zhong, who suddenly appeared.
"Uncle Man!" Jiang Tai called out in surprise.
Kicking away the giant snake, Man Zhong turned to look at Jiang Tai, "Xiao Tai, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Uncle Man. Is this a monster?"
With Man Zhong there, Jiang Tai was no longer afraid, but rather curious.
"Indeed, this is a monster at the Demon Essence stage, capable of speaking human language, just one step away from forming a core and transforming!" Man Zhong explained with a smile.
Not far away, the giant snake coiled up again, its tongue flicking out, making hissing sounds, and its sinister eyes fixed on Man Zhong.
Man Zhong smiled coldly, not paying much attention to the giant snake, but looking in another direction of the mansion.
"Boom!"
A series of explosions came from there, and dust rose all around.
"Big Brother!" Man Zhong called out.
"I'm fine, I can handle a monster at the Demon Essence stage. Take care of yourself!" A middle-aged man's voice came from the distant smoke.
Man Zhong nodded and then looked back at the giant snake.
Taking advantage of this moment, the snake's tail quietly swung towards Man Zhong. The massive tail swung out, causing a sonic boom, and before it even reached, the shockwave had already scattered all the rocks around Man Zhong.
Facing the overhead tail, Man Zhong smiled coldly and extended his hands.
"Boom!"
His hands, glowing with a golden light, caught the fierce snake tail, then suddenly hugged it. Man Zhong's face twisted, and he roared.
"Up!"
"Boom!"
Holding the snake tail, he swung it around.
"Ah!"
The giant snake let out a惨叫, but its entire body was lifted, as if Man Zhong was using it like a giant whip, spinning it quickly and forming three circles.
"Ah!"
The giant snake screamed, but Man Zhong's speed increased, even creating a whirlwind that rose into the sky, sweeping up all the dust and smoke.
"Put me down!" the giant snake screamed.
Man Zhong ignored it and continued to swing the super giant whip.
"Ah!" "Ah!" ...
The giant snake's screams echoed in all directions.
The battle nearby in the mansion suddenly stopped.
Many servants of the mansion stared with their mouths open at the sight of Second Master Man swinging the monster. Indeed, he was still the great demon of the world from ten years ago!
Even a three-zhang-tall wolf monster nearby stopped fighting, staring with wide eyes at the giant snake's helpless struggle.
"Roar!"
The wolf monster abandoned its opponent and quickly rushed to aid the giant snake.
"Hmph!"
Man Zhong snorted, and the giant whip in his hand swung towards the jumping giant wolf, as if striking it with a single whip.
"No!" the giant wolf cried out in shock.
"Boom!"
The wolf and the snake collided, and the giant wolf was thrown away.
"Boom!"
The giant wolf crashed into a pile of ruins.
Jiang Tai sat on the ground, his mouth wide open, watching the scene: "Is this the rhythm of a Saiyan?"
Although he knew that cultivation would make one very powerful, he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated. A ten-story-high giant snake, actually being swung around so easily by Uncle Man?
Jiang Tai's heart beat faster, and his desire for cultivation grew intensely.
The sound of the snake being swung around instantly alarmed all the monsters in the city.
On the street, Zong Li suddenly saw the nearly lifeless giant snake being swung around, his brows furrowed: "Encountered an expert?"
With a step, Zong Li's figure flickered towards the mansion.
"Whoosh!"
Zong Li instantly appeared on the roof of an intact building in the mansion.
The eagle in the cage behind Man Zhong suddenly narrowed its eyes and looked at Zong Li.
"Boom!"
Man Zhong swung the giant snake, but it was caught by a black-robed figure on the opposite side.
"Left Guardian, save me!" the giant snake weakly called out to the black-robed figure.
"Hmph! No one can save you!" Man Zhong snorted. The golden light in his hands instantly shone.
"You dare!" the black-robed figure coldly said.
"Boom!"
The black-robed figure was ultimately too late, and the giant snake was explosively severed in half, blood splattering everywhere.
Zong Li, standing far away, raised his hand, and the splattering blood was instantly deflected.
The Left Guardian instantly appeared in front of Man Zhong, striking him with a palm.
"Boom!"
Palm against palm, a loud explosion echoed like thunder, reverberating through the night sky.
Jiang Tai quickly retreated.
The eagle stood in the cage behind Man Zhong, and Zong Li stood on the roof, watching coldly.
Golden light rippled around Man Zhong and the Left Guardian, their palms locked in a stalemate.
"Core Formation stage?" the Left Guardian asked in surprise.
"Are you the Left Guardian of the Taihao Mountain monsters? Why did you invade my Wanqiu and cause chaos in my mansion?" Man Zhong said coldly.
"Do we need to report to you? You killed my subordinate, now give me your life!" the Left Guardian said fiercely.
As they struck palms, the black robe was blown open, revealing a face covered in snake scales, the Left Guardian's face twisted as he stared at Man Zhong.
"Hmph, you're still lacking!" Man Zhong's eyes turned cold.
Suddenly, the golden light in Man Zhong's palm turned purple, and a massive explosion of purple light burst out.
"Boom!"
The Left Guardian was blasted back, instantly shattering a large area of buildings.
"Uncle Man!" Jiang Tai called out excitedly.
In the distance, amidst a pile of ruins, the Left Guardian slowly climbed out.
"Speak, why did you come to my Wanqiu?" Man Zhong stepped forward, his intimidating aura released, his eyes cold.
The Left Guardian's face was cold, his fists clenched, as if ready to attack again. Suddenly, a voice sounded.
"Cough, you're no match for him, step back!" Zong Li stepped forward with a grim face.
"Your Majesty!" the Left Guardian looked back at the white-robed monster king behind him.
"Zong Li?" Man Zhong's brows raised from a distance.
Zong Li, with silver hair and a spotless white robe, stepped forward, looking around with disgust and waved his hand.
"Whoosh!"
The dust around them instantly dissipated.
"Second son of the Man family? After ten years, your cultivation has almost caught up to your father!" Zong Li said with a cold gaze.
The Left Guardian stood respectfully behind Zong Li.
Man Zhong's face also turned serious.
"Zong Li, you invaded Wanqiu at night and caused chaos in the Great Chen. Are you not afraid that the Chen royal family will destroy the Taihao Mountain monsters?" Man Zhong said solemnly.
"Ha ha ha, destroy the Taihao Mountain monsters?" Zong Li's gaze grew colder.
"Xiao Tai, quickly retreat!" Man Zhong whispered.
"Okay!" Jiang Tai nodded and quickly retreated.
Jiang Tai understood that staying would only be a burden.
Zong Li suddenly laughed coldly: "Is it because of this little brat? Unfortunately, you can't protect him."
"Xiao Tai, wait!" Man Zhong suddenly called out.
Then, Man Zhong narrowed his eyes and looked at Zong Li: "You came to Wanqiu to snatch children?"
"Ten years ago, it was rumored that the second son of the Man family was exceptionally intelligent. I didn't expect you to guess it. But even if you guessed, it's useless. Your family has a grudge against me. Today, I'll use your head to settle the score!" Zong Li said coldly.
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a white light suddenly transformed into a fierce mountain goat, its horns charging straight at Man Zhong. A fierce killing intent surged, and the night sky was instantly illuminated by the white light of the goat.
The goat's shadow charged forward, and Jiang Tai was blown to the ground by a strong wind.
Man Zhong roared, pushing out his palms, which glowed with golden light, suddenly transforming into a golden dragon's head.
"Roar!"
The dragon roared and charged at the goat's shadow.
"Boom!"
The dragon and the goat collided, and the entire Wanqiu heard the explosion, the shockwave leveling all the buildings around.
The dragon and the goat's shadows had fierce expressions, colliding with each other.
"Dragon form? Man Zhong, you've truly met a benefactor, who even taught you the dragon form secret technique. Even the Chen royal family doesn't have anyone who knows it!" Zong Li's eyes narrowed.
Man Zhong's face showed difficulty.
"Unfortunately, your cultivation is insufficient, and you haven't fully mastered the dragon form. In consideration of the royal family who taught you the dragon form secret technique, I can spare your life, but the child behind you, I must take." Zong Li said solemnly.
Clearly, the benefactor who taught Man Zhong the dragon form, even if Zong Li didn't know who it was, still made him wary.
"Ha ha, don't even think about it!" Man Zhong shouted.
As he spoke, the golden dragon suddenly turned into a purple dragon, emitting a fierce aura.
"Roar!"
The purple dragon roared, and a powerful force erupted.
"Huh?" Zong Li's eyes widened.
In the courtyard, purple and white light exploded.
"Boom!"
The goat and the purple dragon's shadows exploded.
Man Zhong took three steps back before stopping, a look of surprise in his eyes.
"Core Formation stage? You can actually threaten me? No wonder it's the dragon form secret technique, but you're still no match for me!" Zong Li's face twisted.
As he spoke, he suddenly opened his mouth, and a black smoke spewed out, accompanied by a black, massive chain.
"Roar!"
The black chain suddenly transformed into a black dragon, charging at Man Zhong. A thick aura of evil surged, and Man Zhong's face changed, wanting to dodge, but Jiang Tai was right behind him, so he had to block.
Pushing out his hands, another purple dragon's shadow charged out.
"Roar!"
The two dragons roared.
"Boom!"
The two dragon heads collided, the purple dragon being a shadow, while the black dragon seemed solid, instantly shattering the purple dragon, and the powerful force struck Man Zhong's palms.
"Boom!"
Man Zhong was thrown back by the black dragon, unable to resist.
"Spit!" In mid-air, Man Zhong spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Uncle Man!" Jiang Tai called out anxiously.
"Such a powerful treasure!" a sudden voice sounded behind Man Zhong.
It was the eagle Jiang Tai had bought, suddenly emitting a brilliant golden light, instantly vaporizing the birdcage. Spreading its wings, one wing suddenly attached to Man Zhong's back, stopping his backward momentum. A powerful force surged into his body, and Man Zhong's palms instantly burst with boundless power.
"Boom!"
"Spit!"
After spitting out another mouthful of blood, the black dragon was pushed back.
"Roar!"
The black dragon flew back, circling around Zong Li, a thick aura of evil sweeping in all directions.
Zong Li's figure paused, his brows furrowed as he looked at the eagle that suddenly attacked.
"Spit!" Man Zhong narrowly escaped, coughing violently.
He looked back at the golden eagle in surprise. Even Jiang Tai was shocked. Wasn't this the eagle he just bought? How did it turn into a monster?
"Thank you, Senior, for your help!" Man Zhong said immediately.
The eagle hovered in mid-air without flapping its wings, strangely floating, looking at Man Zhong and Jiang Tai.
"A few days ago, I was severely injured, and you bought me, saving my life. This time, I'll repay you!" the eagle said solemnly.
On the opposite side, Zong Li's pupils suddenly constricted, and his face showed a look of joy.
An eagle? Severely injured? Crossing the tribulation? Wasn't this the one he had been looking for?
"Left Guardian, notify all the monsters, come here and capture the eagle monster with me!" Zong Li laughed loudly.
"Yes!"
The Left Guardian spat out a green light, then shouted: "The king's order, all monsters, put everything aside and come here!"
A loud shout echoed throughout Wanqiu.
"Roar!" "Roar!" ...
From all directions in Wanqiu, the roars of monsters echoed.
"Boom!"
Almost all the monsters quickly rushed here.
The eagle's eyes narrowed: "Greedy creature! Since you know me, do you think you can capture me?"
"Cough, indeed, my cultivation is still a step below yours, but you just crossed the tribulation a few days ago, and you can't possibly recover. Besides, I have the Black Gold Divine Chain. This time, you can't escape. I was originally planning to capture three thousand children, but now I have this unexpected gain. It's fate!" Zong Li said with a cold smile.
"Roar!"
The black dragon roared, its face twisted, staring at the two humans and the monster.
Monsters from all over the city rushed to the Man mansion, and human experts from all over the city also rushed to the Man mansion.
A large number of experts quickly gathered.
"I'll handle this, you two quickly leave!" the eagle flapped its wings, a gust of wind sending Jiang Tai and Man Zhong flying out of the courtyard.
"Take care, Senior!" Man Zhong held Jiang Tai in mid-air.
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew from a distance, and just as Jiang Tai was flying, he was blown back.
"Ah!" Jiang Tai fell to the ground in shock.
Man Zhong's face changed.
"Roar!" A white tiger suddenly blocked Man Zhong's path, a strong wind blowing, staring at Man Zhong.
"Get out of the way!" Man Zhong struck out.
"Chirp!"
A bird's cry sounded from behind, attacking Man Zhong.
"Boom!" Man Zhong hastily defended, his figure instantly falling to the ground.
On the other side, the eagle suddenly flapped its wings, and a hundred golden beams quickly shot towards Zong Li.
"Roar!"
The black dragon roared, opening its mouth to suck in the hundred golden beams, then quickly charged at the eagle.
"Such a powerful treasure?" the eagle looked at the black dragon in surprise.
The eagle's claws collided with the black dragon.
"Boom!"
A collision, and a thick black aura swept in all directions.
"Bad, you quickly leave, I'll take this little brat and fly away, quickly!" the eagle's face changed as it called out.
"Okay!" Man Zhong responded.
"Want to escape? Four Great Guardians, Four Symbols Formation!" Zong Li shouted.
"Yes!" they all responded.
The Left Guardian suddenly transformed into a huge green snake, holding a bone covered in runes in its mouth, coiling on the east side of the courtyard.
A purple sparrow, a white tiger, and a giant turtle, each holding a rune bone in their mouths, stood on the south, west, and north sides of the courtyard.
"Buzz!"
The four rune bones emitted a yellowish light, instantly forming a barrier, enveloping the courtyard.
The green snake, purple sparrow, white tiger, and giant turtle each occupied a position, stabilizing the barrier.
"What?" Man Zhong's face stiffened outside the barrier.
The barrier enveloped Jiang Tai, the
