Chapter 111: A Complete Falling Out

"On what grounds do you say we broke the rules? It wasn't because this bunch of stupid tigers provoked us first! If they didn't stir up trouble, would we be so bored as to go looking for a fight?"

As soon as Nudi spoke, her sharp, thin voice sounded like two pieces of glass rubbing together, making Zhang Yi's teeth ache.

"Exactly! It's just like if someone said to your face that you had bird droppings on your face; could you remain indifferent? Who could swallow this insult!"

As Nudi said this, she deliberately glanced at the Elder's forehead, where a few tiny feathers were still conspicuously stuck.

The Elder's complexion was uglier than if he had swallowed a fly.

The humiliation he least wanted to bring up was being repeatedly mentioned by this damned bird.

A surge of rage churned in his chest, like a volcano about to erupt.

Boom!

The temperature in the great hall plummeted, and a powerful pressure swept out. The Elder stood up abruptly; the teacup on the table shattered at the sound, and tea splashed everywhere.

"You few, do you really think I dare not touch you? Just now outside, I gave you some face. Now that you've entered my Demon Saint Mansion, hmph, isn't your life or death just a matter of a single word from me!"

Zhang Yi's heart skipped a beat, and a chill shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. This is bad! This old fellow is going to kill them to silence them!

He glared fiercely at Nudi and warned in a low voice: "Shut your mouth! If you spout any more nonsense, our whole family will have to be buried with you!"

Nudi, however, rolled her eyes without a care.

She had the air of "this lady fears nothing under heaven."

The Scarlet Flame Tiger on the side wore a look of schadenfreude.

He felt secretly delighted: Stupid bird, let's see where you fly to this time!

Mother Jubiao also sensed the danger.

Her Great Divine Beast Third Tier cultivation was not just for show; she keenly perceived the killing intent radiating from the Elder.

This old thing really intends to silence their whole family!

"Elder, calm your anger! It is just that the children are ignorant and offended you. We will leave right now and never dare to step foot in the Demon Saint Mansion again!"

Mother Jubiao hurriedly stepped out to smooth things over; she did not want her children to die here for no reason.

The Elder sneered: "Want to leave now? Too late! None of you will leave here alive today!"

Having said that, he flipped his palm, and a long sword flashing with cold light appeared in his hand.

The tip of the sword pointed directly at Mother Jubiao, full of killing intent.

"Old thing, do you really want to kill us all?"

Mother Jubiao roared, her feathers bristling all over, ready for battle.

"Hmph! You lowly birds, are you worthy of negotiating with me? Go to your deaths!"

The Elder let out a violent shout, and the long sword in his hand turned into a streak of light, stabbing straight at Mother Jubiao's throat.

At the critical moment, Zhang Yi lunged forward, grabbed Mother Jubiao, and barely dodged the fatal blow.

"Pfft!"

The long sword pierced Zhang Yi's shoulder, and fresh blood instantly stained his clothes red.

Zhang Yi looked at his wound in disbelief, cursing inwardly—this old thing really did attack.

"Son!"

Mother Jubiao exclaimed, supporting him with a pained heart. She stared fixedly at the Elder with sharp eyes and cursed shrilly, "You old bastard! You can even lay a hand on a child; are you even a thing!"

The Elder's face turned livid, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He had not expected this brat to actually dare to block the sword for that stupid bird.

This was simply a provocation to his authority!

The Scarlet Flame Tiger on the side saw this and immediately added fuel to the fire: "Well struck, Elder! To deal with these blind, stupid birds, you have to give them a taste of their own medicine, otherwise they'll be lawless! They dared to be so bold and reckless while still in the territory of the Demon Saint Mansion; they must be taught a lesson. Even if you killed their whole family today, it wouldn't be too much!"

As the Scarlet Flame Tiger spoke, he stepped forward and volunteered: "Elder, don't trouble yourself; let me help you solve these few nuisances!"

The Elder gave a cold hum, which counted as tacit approval.

The Scarlet Flame Tiger grinned, revealing his ghastly fangs. He had long found this Jubiao unpleasant and was taking this opportunity to exact revenge today.

He lunged at Zhang Yi, his sharp claws waving with fierce force.

Zhang Yi endured the pain and flapped his wings to resist.

But he was injured after all, his strength greatly reduced, and he soon fell into a disadvantage.

"Son, I'll help you!"

Seeing this, Mother Jubiao immediately joined the fray.

She shook her wings, and a gale howled, forcing the Scarlet Flame Tiger back a few steps.

"Mother, be careful!" Zhang Yi shouted.

Mother Jubiao and the Scarlet Flame Tiger tangled together, neither able to gain the upper hand for a moment.

Nudi the Wind God Pterosaur watched the battle from the side, her eyes darting around as if looking for an escape route.

Xiao Pu and the little Earth Dragon were trembling with fear, hugging each other tightly and hiding behind Zhang Yi.

Seeing that the Scarlet Flame Tiger was slow to take down the Jubiao family, the Elder grew impatient. He snorted coldly: "A bunch of trash! You can't even deal with a few birds!"

He waved his large hand and ordered the dozen or so Great Demons in the great hall: "All of you, attack together! Hurry up and kill these birds; I don't want to see them for another second!"

The dozen Great Demons received the order, drew their weapons one after another, and aggressively surrounded the Jubiao family.

Mother Jubiao's expression changed; she knew that they were likely doomed today.

She looked despairingly at her children behind her, her eyes filled with reluctance.

"Mother..." Zhang Yi called out weakly.

"Son, don't be afraid, Mother will protect you all!" Mother Jubiao pulled herself together, preparing to fight to the death.

Nudi's eyes rolled, and she suddenly pointed to a hidden door in the corner of the great hall and shouted: "There's a hidden door there! We might be able to escape through it!"

Mother Jubiao looked in the direction Nudi pointed and indeed saw an inconspicuous hidden door.

A glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.

More than a dozen Great Demons swarmed forward like hungry tigers pouncing on prey; Mother Jubiao was left parrying left and right, exhausted from the struggle.

She shielded Zhang Yi, Xiao Pu, and the little earth dragon, her massive wings flapping again and again to whip up gusts of wind, yet she still could not block the Great Demons' offensive.

Zhang Yi's wounds burned with pain, and fresh blood seeped out incessantly, staining half of his body red.

He watched his mother being besieged, his heart burning with anxiety, yet he could only feebly flap his wings, barely fending off the attacks of the occasional fish that slipped through the net.

"Hahaha! You flock of stupid birds, today is your death day!"

Red Flame Tiger laughed wildly on the sidelines, gloating as drool dripped down, "Especially you, you little mongrel bird; I am going to tear you into shreds and swallow you bite by bite to avenge my dead brother!"

Xiao Pu and the little earth dragon were trembling with fear, clutching each other tightly, and Xiao Pu cried out, "I'm so scared..."

The little earth dragon also began to whimper along.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you!"

Zhang Yi gritted his teeth, enduring the pain to offer comfort.

He knew that today, they were likely truly doomed.

Mother Jubiao also had several more wounds on her body, her feathers were disheveled, and her aura had become chaotic.

"Son, go quickly! Go through that secret door!" she shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Want to run? No way!"
