Chapter 57: Stealing a

Out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Yi caught a glimpse of a black shadow, its speed astonishingly fast, aiming straight for the Storage Bag at Xiao Pu's waist.

This Xiao Pu was still busy fawning over Hu Mei'er, completely unaware of the impending danger.

Zhang Yi cursed "idiot" to himself, but his feet didn't hesitate; he violently yanked Xiao Pu behind him while simultaneously kicking toward the black shadow.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, the black shadow was kicked away by Zhang Yi, crashing into a pillar of the Arena and letting out a squeaky shriek.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a small rat demon with a shifty, thief-like appearance and a pointed snout, currently clutching its stomach and rolling on the ground in agony.

"Ouch, my old waist! Which blind fool dares to kick your Grandpa Rat!"

The rat demon clamored, but dared not stand up, its beady green eyes darting around, clearly looking for a chance to escape.

Zhang Yi sneered and stepped on the rat demon's long, thin tail with one claw.

"Want to run? Did you ask me first?"

The rat demon struggled desperately in the air, kicking its limbs wildly, but it could not break free from Zhang Yi's iron-pincer-like claw.

"Spare me, Great Master! Spare me! This little one had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai and offended you; I beg you to show mercy and let this little one live!"

"Enough nonsense! Speak, who sent you?"

Zhang Yi glared coldly at the other party.

The rat demon stammered, refusing to open its mouth.

A cold glint flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes, "Not talking? Then don't blame me for being impolite!"

The claw stepping on the rat demon's tail immediately began to apply pressure.

The rat demon instantly let out a shrill, miserable scream.

"I'll talk! I'll talk! It was the Fox Clan Saintess, it was Hu Mei'er who ordered me to come!"

The rat demon was scared out of its wits and spilled everything like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.

"She told me to steal... steal this young master's Storage Bag, and then..."

Zhang Yi's gaze sharpened as he looked at Hu Mei'er.

This vixen, she really was up to no good!

Seeing her conspiracy exposed, Hu Mei'er stopped putting on an act, her originally charming face now full of ferocity.

"You little bastard, you actually dare to ruin my good deed!"

"You call this low-life tactic a 'good deed'?"

Zhang Yi scoffed in disdain.

Hu Mei'er's face turned livid, a fierce light flickering in her eyes.

"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! Since you are looking for death, don't blame me for being impolite!"

She formed seals with both hands and chanted, and several black shadows emerged from behind her, transforming into several burly Fox Clan guards who surrounded Zhang Yi.

Seeing this, Long Ge could no longer bother with fawning over Hu Mei'er; he hurriedly blocked the path in front of Zhang Yi and Xiao Pu, striking a combat stance.

"Want to touch my brother? Ask me if I agree first!"

"Overestimating yourself!"

Hu Mei'er sneered, and with a command, the several Fox Clan guards attacked Zhang Yi and Long Ge simultaneously.

For a moment, the scene at the entrance of the Demon Saint Mansion was in complete chaos.

Protected behind Long Ge, Zhang Yi and Xiao Pu watched the fierce battle before them, both feeling somewhat nervous.

Although Zhang Yi appeared calm on the surface, he was secretly vigilant in his heart.

These Fox Clan guards were not weak, and their coordination was seamless; they were clearly specially trained.

Although Long Ge was powerful, fighting many alone, he was gradually finding it strenuous.

"Xiao Pu, hide further away!"

Zhang Yi said in a low voice.

Although Xiao Pu was somewhat reluctant, he knew that staying here would only be a burden, so he nodded and hid to the side.

Zhang Yi took a deep breath, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

It was time to show his true technique!

He no longer hid his strength; the Devouring System within his body operated frantically, and a powerful force surged through him.

His figure flashed as he joined the fray, throwing a punch that sent one of the Fox Clan guards flying.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Zhang Yi's claws flew, every strike ruthless.

When it came to close-quarters combat, the Fox Clan guards before him were no match for him at all, and they were knocked to the ground one after another.

Seeing this, Hu Mei'er's expression changed drastically, a trace of terror flashing in her eyes.

Originally, she thought the Pterosaur was already the ceiling of combat power among these fellows, never expecting that this strange bird beside him was also hiding its true depth.

Not to mention Ju Niao Mu Qin and Nudi, who had not made a move from the very beginning.

At this moment, Hu Mei'er had long since lost her previous composure, and a trace of imperceptible panic appeared between her brows.

Seeing that she was outmatched, she turned to leave.

However, just as she turned, her path was blocked by Zhang Yi.

"You come when you want and leave when you want? Are all the people of your Fox Clan this rude?!"

A cold glint flickered in Zhang Yi's eyes; he had already made up his mind to teach this Hu Mei'er a lesson.

However, before he could make a move, he suddenly felt a powerful aura coming from afar.

This aura was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived before Zhang Yi and the others.

"Stop!"

The moment the voice rang out, the surrounding demons' breathing instantly hitched.

Zhang Yi looked in the direction of the voice.

He saw a Great Demon wearing a golden long robe and a purple-gold crown descending from the sky.

His face was cold and stern, imposing without anger; a pair of sharp eyes swept over the crowd, and a powerful aura rushed toward them, making people afraid to look directly at him.

"What is going on?"

The middle-aged Great Demon spoke in a deep voice.

Seeing the newcomer, Hu Mei'er acted as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Lord Demon Saint, this fellow committed violence in public and injured my guards; I beg you, my Lord, to uphold justice for me!"

Zhang Yi cursed "bad luck" in his heart; this Hu Mei'er really knew how to trim her sails to the wind.

Just as he was calculating how to deal with the current situation.

At this moment, the Demon Saint suddenly looked toward Zhang Yi's side: "What is your name? Why are you causing trouble in front of the Demon Saint Mansion?"

Zhang Yi rolled his eyes, and a plan came to mind.

He deliberately put on a look of grievance: "Reporting to Lord Demon Saint, this one is nameless, just a tiny bird demon within your jurisdiction!"

"This Fox Clan woman is unreasonable and attacked us for no reason, so this one was forced to fight back; I beg Lord Demon Saint to investigate clearly!"

"A nameless bird demon?"

Hearing this, the Demon Saint could not help but frown.

A nameless little demon, capable of defeating the personal guards of the Fox Clan Shengnyu?

What a joke!

However, he was a Demon Saint after all; his experience and discernment were absolutely top-tier.

Jinwu, Earth Dragon, Wind God Pterosaur—to be able to assemble such a lineup, if one said there was no background behind him, he would not believe it even if beaten to death.

It was just that since the other party did not want to say, the Demon Saint did not intend to probe further.

The Demon Saint looked Zhang Yi up and down; this kid really did not look like an ordinary little demon, his whole body exuding an indescribable domineering aura.

Moreover, those golden eyes inexplicably made him feel a trace of heart palpitations.

Seeing that the Demon Saint did not seem to intend to continue probing.

At this time, Hu Mei'er on the side became anxious.

"Lord Demon Saint, you must uphold justice for me!"

Seeing that Hu Mei'er was so lacking in tact.

The Demon Saint could not help but frown slightly, but hindered by the other party's status, if he did not do something, it would really be a bit unjustifiable.

Thinking of this, the Demon Saint pondered for a moment before speaking: "Come, take them all down first and keep them under strict guard!"
