Chapter 102: Eat Up, It's Still Steaming
Having dealt with the Red Flame Tiger, the group continued forward.
They hadn't walked far before they encountered several more Demon Beasts blocking the path.
Although these Demon Beasts were not as strong as the Red Flame Tiger, each one was fierce and menacing, blocking the way and clamoring to prevent Zhang Yi and the others from passing.
However, these Demon Beasts were ultimately dealt with easily by Nudi, just like the Red Flame Tiger.
Along the way, various Demon Beasts jumped out one after another to block them, as if they had agreed upon it beforehand; it was practically a farce specifically arranged for them.
Their reasoning was also almost identical: the Lingfu was reserved for the winners of the Arena competition, and those who hadn't won the competition were not qualified to enter.
Faced with the obstruction of these Demon Beasts, Zhang Yi's attitude remained consistent: if you aren't convinced, then fight!
Nudi was like a silent guardian; each time, before she made a move, Zhang Yi would first provoke the opponent with words, and once they were enraged and ready to attack, Nudi would strike, cleanly and efficiently dealing with them.
This coordination of "one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop" made Zhang Yi feel incredibly satisfied.
As more and more Demon Beasts were defeated by Nudi, the remaining Demon Beasts began to realize that this group was not to be trifled with.
The group marched forward imposingly, and to their surprise, a crowd of Demon Beasts followed behind to watch the spectacle.
These fellows hid sneakily behind bushes and rocks, peeking out like a group of cowardly rats.
Zhang Yi chuckled to himself; these guys really had a lot of curiosity.
After walking for a short while, the towering gate of the Lingfu appeared before everyone's eyes.
The two massive vermilion gates were carved with intricate patterns, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
On both sides of the gate stood two tall stone statues, looking majestic and awe-inspiring as they guarded this sacred area.
The Demon Beasts following behind suddenly erupted into an uproar, with whispers rising one after another.
"Are they really going to the Lingfu?"
"Are they crazy? Without the permission of the Demon Saint Mansion, who would dare to enter?"
"Now we're in for a good show; let's wait for them to be blasted out by the barrier!"
Zhang Yi heard these discussions clearly; the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a cunning smile.
He deliberately lifted one foot and took a step inside the Lingfu gate, then quickly pulled it back, as if testing something.
The Demon Beasts behind him immediately became nervous, each one stretching their necks and widening their eyes, afraid of missing any detail.
Zhang Yi looked back and discovered that the Red Flame Tiger, which had been slapped away by Nudi earlier, was also hiding in the crowd, looking at him with a face full of schadenfreude.
"Yo, isn't this Brother Tiger?"
Zhang Yi pointed at the Red Flame Tiger and said with a smile, "What was it you said just now? Can you repeat it? I'm getting old, and my memory isn't very good."
Being pointed at by Zhang Yi, the Red Flame Tiger instantly became the focus of all the Demon Beasts.
It cleared its throat unnaturally, stiffened its neck, and said, "Kid, don't be arrogant! I advise you to leave here quickly; without the key to the Demon Saint Mansion, it is impossible to enter! The consequence of forcing your way in will only be to be beaten into a sieve by the barrier set up by the Demon Saint Mansion!"
Zhang Yi feigned a sudden realization: "Oh, you're talking about that. However, before I go in, was there something even more important that you said?"
The Red Flame Tiger was certain Zhang Yi couldn't get in, so its courage grew a bit, and it blurted out, "I said if you can enter the Lingfu, I'll stand on my head and eat shit!"
The surrounding Demon Beasts burst into loud laughter, their gazes toward Zhang Yi filled with mockery and disdain.
Zhang Yi was not annoyed; he still looked at the Red Flame Tiger with a smile and said slowly, "Good, I've remembered it. I hope Brother Tiger keeps his word when the time comes."
Having said that, he turned around, winked at Nudi, and whispered, "It seems someone wants to perform acrobatics; should we cheer him on?"
Nudi nodded expressionlessly, a hint of imperceptible amusement flashing in her eyes.
Zhang Yi took a deep breath, then suddenly lifted his foot and strode into the Lingfu gate.
The surrounding Demon Beasts held their breath, staring intently at Zhang Yi, waiting to see him get blasted away by the barrier.
However, to everyone's surprise, Zhang Yi walked into the Lingfu gate without any obstruction, not triggering any barrier at all!
"This... how is this possible?!"
"How did he get in?"
"Could it be that he can enter even without a key?"
The Demon Beasts were in an uproar, unable to believe their eyes.
The Red Flame Tiger was even more dumbfounded, its jaw nearly hitting the ground.
It rubbed its eyes and confirmed it again; Zhang Yi had indeed walked into the Lingfu gate, and he was completely unharmed!
"I... I..."
The Red Flame Tiger stammered, unable to speak, its face turning shades of green and white.
Zhang Yi stood inside the Lingfu gate, looked back at the stunned Red Flame Tiger, and said with a smile, "Brother Tiger, it seems your performance time has arrived."
The Red Flame Tiger's face turned livid, but not daring to go back on its word, it could only bite the bullet and say, "I... I..."
It hemmed and hawed for a long time, but in the end, it still couldn't say the words "stand on my head and eat shit."
Zhang Yi looked at Nudi with a mischievous grin and winked, saying, "Lady Nudi, look at how troubled this Red Flame Tiger is; shouldn't we help it out?"
Nudi glanced at him coldly, her tone carrying a hint of disdain: "Help it? How? Are you going to demonstrate it yourself?"
Zhang Yi nodded solemnly: "Helping others is the duty of a cultivator like us, and furthermore, helping someone fulfill a promise is an act of boundless merit!"
Nudi rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Stop spouting this nonsense to me; I think you just want to watch the show."
Zhang Yi didn't refute her, just chuckled, then feigned mystery as he rubbed his stomach; then, in full view of everyone, he actually raised his tail...
The surrounding Demon Beasts were stunned; what kind of move was this?
Could it be that this kid had some special fetish?
They saw the tip of Zhang Yi's tail tremble slightly, and then, with a soft "pfft" sound, a steaming pile of bird droppings landed on the ground.
The scene was extremely awkward for a moment, and the air was filled with an indescribable smell.
The Red Flame Tiger's expression was even more spectacular, going from shock to disgust, then to anger, and finally turning into deep despair.
Zhang Yi, however, acted as if nothing had happened, pointed at the bird droppings on the ground, and said to the Red Flame Tiger with a smile, "Brother Tiger, come on, you can start now; it's fresh and still steaming."
The Red Flame Tiger felt like dying at this moment; it never imagined that it would end up in such a predicament.
If I had known, I wouldn't have had such a loose tongue.
Now look at this, I'm riding a tiger and can't get off.
Should I actually eat this shit or not?
The surrounding Demon Beasts were stunned for a moment, then erupted into deafening roars of laughter.
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter, this kid is too vicious!"
