Chapter 8

Manchong rushed straight to the Chen family ancestral temple. Along the way, more and more powerful figures headed towards the Man residence, but Manchong knew that these people could not break through the barrier.

The barrier was too formidable; his full-strength attack could only create a tiny ripple.

"I hope that eagle demon can hold on a bit longer!" Manchong anxiously continued his run.

Rumble!

Outside the barrier, small-scale battles were taking place, and more and more powerful figures gathered. The surroundings were brightly lit, and countless powerful figures stared at the sudden barrier.

In the crowd, Chen Yi and his sister Chen Jiu were among them.

"Ha ha ha, that little bastard is sealed inside the barrier, he's doomed. What about Manchong? Has he been killed yet?" Chen Jiu said excitedly.

"Shut up!" Chen Yi said coldly.

Chen Yi's gaze swept around, his eyes showing a hint of anxiety.

Around them, apart from the people of the Man residence, the supreme experts of Wanqiu also arrived, all staring at the center.

The demons guarded outside the barrier, with the four guardians maintaining the Four Symbols Barrier!

Inside the barrier.

Little Jiang Tai ran behind the eagle. The eagle spread its wings, and a golden light burst forth. In the golden light, it seemed as if there were countless demonic heads, forming a mighty force that pressed down on Zong Li.

"What a powerful eagle demon! This force completely suppresses Zong Li. Could it already be at the Martial Ancestor realm?" the crowd outside the barrier exclaimed.

"Martial Ancestor? There isn't one in the entire Great Chen Kingdom, right?"

"Martial Ancestor?"

...

...

...

The powerful figures outside the barrier looked at the eagle in surprise.

The fierce aura, even when exerted while injured, was not something Zong Li could resist. Fortunately, Zong Li had the Black Gold Divine Lock, with a black dragon blocking the front, enduring the immense force.

"Roar!"

The black dragon unleashed its fierce aura, Zong Li's face flushed red, and he looked at the eagle with surprise and then a fierce excitement: "Good, good, if I swallow you, my cultivation will surely make a great breakthrough. Then, even if I go to the Chen family ancestral temple, I will have no fear, ha ha ha ha!"

"Go!"

"Roar!"

With a loud shout, the black dragon charged forward, resisting the eagle's aura.

"Tiny light, daring to compete with the sun and moon?" the eagle said coldly.

As he spoke, he opened his mouth and spat out a golden light, which turned out to be a golden knife without a handle. The golden knife, once released, emitted countless sword auras, accompanied by sword qi, slashing towards the black dragon.

"Boom!"

The dragon and the knife collided.

The ground around them suddenly shook, and the entire barrier trembled.

The countless sword auras headed towards Zong Li. The black dragon's tail swung, creating a black light halo that dissipated the sword auras.

The dragon's head could not advance any further, its mouth holding the golden knife. The golden knife's killing aura was too intense, as if countless small sword auras were slicing the black dragon to pieces.

However, the black dragon, transformed from the Black Gold Divine Lock, was an ancient artifact with an incredibly sturdy physical body. Even so, a large amount of sword auras still rushed towards Zong Li.

"Roar!" Zong Li roared, his face flushing red again, and he fully activated the black dragon.

"Boom!"

The black dragon emitted a dazzling black light, suddenly suppressing the golden knife's aura.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Zong Li coughed under the full force.

On the opposite side, the eagle also seemed to be using full strength, the golden knife trembling, but unable to advance any further.

"Cough, cough, cough!" The eagle also suddenly coughed.

The two powerful figures were in a deadlock, both seemingly at their limits.

The countless powerful figures outside all showed a look of shock. Although separated by a barrier, they could still feel the destructive aura inside.

The eagle and Zong Li, their eyes bloodshot, neither giving in, their fierce battle showing their ruthless nature.

"Cough, cough, you just passed the lightning tribulation, the lightning energy in your body hasn't dissipated yet. If we continue, the lightning energy will enter your heart, destroying your foundation, ha ha ha ha!" Zong Li said with a fierce smile.

Although he couldn't defeat the eagle, if he persisted, Zong Li had a good chance of winning.

"Cough, cough, I do have lightning energy in my body, but you're not much better, are you? Seeing you coughing, you must have been injured by demonic energy. Who will live and who will die is still uncertain!" the eagle also said with a fierce smile.

"Rumble!"

The two powerful figures activated their magical treasures, emitting a series of booms, fully engaging in the battle without being distracted by the outside world.

Even without more fighting, the onlookers outside showed a look of excitement. This level of battle was rarely seen.

The people outside stopped fighting the demon beasts and merely watched.

Everything seemed calm, except for Jiang Tai behind the eagle.

Is the eagle about to lose?

Regardless of whether Zong Li would capture the child, if not for the eagle's protection, the mere aftereffects of the battle would have already crushed him to pieces.

Sit and wait for death?

But what could he do? At two years old, he only had a physical body and a small mosquito avatar. Jiang Tai felt lost, but sitting and waiting for death was not his style.

Looking at the fiercely smiling Zong Li, Jiang Tai swallowed a mouthful of fear: "Gulp!"

"Elder Eagle, if I interfere with Zong Li, do you have a chance of winning?" Jiang Tai asked.

"Oh? Yes!" the eagle said in surprise.

Although he had known Jiang Tai's early wisdom for a few days, he hadn't expected him to be so smart. Was he really only two years old?

"Then please, Elder Eagle, control the surrounding aftereffects. I will go and interfere with Zong Li. If anything happens, please save me!" Jiang Tai said politely.

Now his life depended on the eagle, so Jiang Tai was extremely polite.

"Alright! Cough, cough!" the eagle responded.

Of course, the eagle didn't have high hopes for Jiang Tai, as he was too young, really too young.

"Ha ha ha, cough, cough, little brat, you also want to interfere with me? With your strength? My physical body is invulnerable to blades and bullets. With your little strength, you want to die?" Zong Li said disdainfully.

"Boom!"

The eagle exerted his strength, restraining the surrounding aftereffects.

Jiang Tai quickly walked over.

Looking at the fierce Zong Li, Jiang Tai did not show fear but slowly walked to the side of the ruined courtyard.

At the edge of the ruins, there was a chair he had used before.

Jiang Tai struggled to drag the chair closer to Zong Li.

At two years old, his strength was too weak, and moving a chair was extremely difficult. He moved it bit by bit, sweat appearing on his forehead.

Outside the barrier, the powerful figures watching finally noticed this little one.

"What is that little one doing?"

"Seems to be moving a chair?"

"Is that little brat also trying to join in?"

"Ha ha ha, that little brat is really funny. What is he moving the chair for? To give Zong Li a seat?"

...

...

...

Outside the barrier, the crowd was in a buzz, but Jiang Tai couldn't hear them, moving the chair bit by bit to Zong Li's side.

The eagle showed confusion, and Zong Li also frowned, not understanding what the little one was doing.

All eyes were on little Jiang Tai.

Jiang Tai found a brick in the ruins, placed it on the chair with great effort, and then, under everyone's puzzled gaze, climbed onto the chair.

He took a deep breath, shakily picked up the brick, and aimed it at Zong Li's face.

Aiming at Zong Li's face?

Everyone seemed to freeze.

"What is that little one doing?"

"What is he doing?"

...

...

...

Many people seemed to guess what was happening, but they stared in disbelief.

Zong Li also seemed to guess Jiang Tai's intention, his face turning dark, and his eyes widening, trying to scare Jiang Tai away.

But how could Jiang Tai be scared away? Retreat meant death, and he couldn't afford to retreat.

The brick aimed at Zong Li's face.

"Smack!"

The brick hit Zong Li's face hard.

The faces of the 3,000 demon beasts turned dark, and they froze.

The countless powerful figures outside opened their mouths in shock.

"What is that little brat doing?"

"He is hitting Zong Li's face?"

"He is using a brick to hit a Ground Ascension realm expert's face?"

"Who is this demonic child?"

"Whose naughty child is this?"

...

...

...

The powerful figures outside all showed a look of shock and then burst into a commotion.

Zong Li, the demon king of Mount Taihao, a supreme Ground Ascension realm expert, was incredibly powerful. Mount Taihao was part of the Chen Kingdom, but Zong Li led a group of demons to dominate the mountain, leaving the Chen royal family helpless, showing his formidable strength.

But this demon king, with his boundless ferocity, was now being hit in the face by a two-year-old child?

"Cough, cough, cough!" Zong Li coughed violently, showing how intense the humiliation was.

"Little brat, you are dead!" Zong Li said with a look of shame and anger.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

...

...

...

Jiang Tai didn't stop, continuously hitting Zong Li's face with the brick.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

...

...

...

Zong Li coughed repeatedly, his strength becoming unstable. The black dragon's advantage gradually disappeared.

Zong Li hated this little brat to death, but he couldn't spare a hand while fighting the eagle.

"Little brat, I will slice you to pieces!" Zong Li said coldly.

The eagle, although initially shocked, then burst into laughter: "Cough, cough, ha ha ha, good, little brat, you did well. I will protect you, continue!"

Jiang Tai kept hitting Zong Li's face with the brick.

The powerful figures outside were completely stunned.

This naughty child was too fierce.

"Whose naughty child is this?"

"What? Only two years old?"

In the distance, Chen Jiu's eyes widened: "This, this little bastard, am I seeing things? Sister, he is hitting Zong Li's face?"

Chen Yi ignored her.

The newly arrived powerful figures were even more stunned by the scene. What was happening? Was Zong Li performing a street act by getting hit in the face?

After hitting for a while, Jiang Tai was also tired.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Cough, cough!"

"Cough!"

...

...

...

If looks could kill, Jiang Tai would have been killed by Zong Li many times over. Zong Li's coughing became more intense, and his disadvantage became more obvious. If he continued to cough, he would be killed by the eagle's golden knife.

Taking a deep breath, Zong Li suppressed his anger, no longer looking at the little brat, and focused on the eagle.

His strength stabilized, and the black dragon once again suppressed the golden knife.

Jiang Tai hit for a while, but it was useless, his brows furrowing, realizing that Zong Li had become numb.

"Thick-skinned!" Jiang Tai said, throwing away the brick.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Zong Li was again shaken by the anger.

This naughty child must be killed.

But with a powerful enemy in front of him, he couldn't afford to be distracted. Just as he trembled, a sword aura had already torn his sleeve.

Zong Li stared at the eagle, trying to ignore Jiang Tai.

Jiang Tai was anxious.

What to do now?

Suddenly, Jiang Tai remembered that when Zong Li saw the messy courtyard, he showed disgust.

Jiang Tai's expression changed, looking at Zong Li in surprise: "You, are you a Virgo?"

"Cough, cough!" Zong Li coughed again.

Damn, why is this naughty child so infuriating? Virgo? Your whole family is Virgo.

Zong Li's nerves couldn't keep up with the naughty child's pace.

Jiang Tai didn't care if Zong Li understood, quickly jumping off the chair, and running to a pile of ruins.

If before, the crowd wouldn't have paid attention to this naughty child, but after the brick hit, no one underestimated him.

Watching the naughty child rush into the ruins, he searched for a while and found a broken bowl.

"Broken bowl?" Chen Jiu said in confusion outside the barrier.

The surrounding powerful figures also frowned. The brick couldn't do anything to Zong Li, so what use would a broken bowl be?

Even Zong Li's eyes caught the naughty child's actions, not knowing what he was doing.

Jiang Tai slowly walked to the other end of the ruins, where the huge demon snake, shattered by Manchong, had left a pool of blood and broken remains.

The naughty child used the broken bowl to scoop up a bowl of sticky substance from the demon snake's remains.

"What is that?"

"Snake blood, brain, venom, excrement?"

...

...

...

The powerful figures outside quickly interpreted the bowl of colorful sticky substance. Even through the barrier, it seemed to emit a foul smell, making them feel nauseous from a distance.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Zong Li seemed to guess what was happening, coughing violently.

The naughty child happily scooped up the sticky substance, climbed back onto the chair, and aimed the bowl at Zong Li's face.

At this moment, outside the barrier, it was so quiet that a pin could be heard. All the powerful figures stared with wide eyes, their hearts filled with shock, looking at the bowl of foul-smelling sticky substance.

"Can't be?"

"Is this naughty child really going to do that?"

"Is this going to be a shocking move?"

...

...

...

Outside, it was quiet. Inside, the eagle also stared with wide eyes. This naughty child was too...

"Cough, cough, cough!" Zong Li coughed violently.

His scalp tingled.

Zong Li had a cleanliness obsession, loving cleanliness even after becoming a demon. Even a speck of dust on his body would make him uncomfortable, but now...

"Little brat, stop, if you dare, if you dare to touch me, I... ah!"

Zong Li screamed in the middle of his sentence.

The naughty child had already poured the bowl of foul-smelling sticky substance onto Zong Li's face.

His face was covered in colorful filth. Zong Li's image was completely ruined!

"Boom!"

Outside the barrier, the powerful figures erupted. The bowl of sticky substance was like a spark that ignited a barrel of oil, and everyone burst into a commotion.

Zong Li trembled, almost collapsing, and the force he was exerting became unstable, about to collapse.

"I will kill you... uh!"

As Zong Li roared, the naughty child used the small bowl to scrape the sticky substance into his mouth.

The sticky substance was scraped into Zong Li's mouth?

"Ah~!"

The sound of collapse tore through the night sky of Wanqiu.

Zong Li went mad!
