Chapter 73: Niu Dali: This Beating Was Worth It

Outside the perimeter of the competition site, Xiong Batian paced back and forth anxiously.

He cursed under his breath, "That stupid pig, how is he taking so long? He couldn't have actually been taken care of by that brat, could he? Useless!"

His thick bear paws slapped the tree trunk beside him uneasily, shaking the leaves down with a rustle.

From afar, an enchanting figure approached with a graceful gait.

Xiong Batian looked closely and saw it was Hu Mei'er.

"How did it go?"

Xiong Batian asked in a gruff voice.

Hu Mei'er shook her head, "That stupid pig is no good; we should change to someone else."

"What?!"

Xiong Batian jumped with rage, "That piece of trash! It was just to go and provoke him, is that so hard!"

"Oh my, Brother Xiong, don't be angry."

Hu Mei'er coaxed in a sweet voice, "That brat is very strange; it's normal that the pig demon couldn't handle him. Let's just change to someone else."

Xiong Batian scratched his head in frustration, "Change to whom? Besides that stupid pig, who else is willing to do this thankless job?"

"You know, being able to compete in the Arena of the Demon Saint Mansion means that even if you lose, you can still stay in this territory for a while.

This Demon Saint Mansion has abundant Qi; finding any temporary Dongfu to stay in makes cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.

Although the Bear Spirit Pill is good, how can it compare to the comfort of staying in the Demon Saint Mansion?"

Hu Mei'er nodded, indicating she understood.

"That's true, this Demon Saint Mansion gathers all kinds of powerful figures; perhaps one could even use this opportunity to make a few powerful friends, which would make traveling the world easier in the future."

Xiong Batian frowned, "But where can we find someone now? Everyone is smart; who would want to go and throw their life away for nothing?"

Hu Mei'er smiled mysteriously, her agile body flashed to the side, revealing a tall figure behind her.

This Demon Beast had a burly build, its entire body covered in hard scales, a pair of sharp horns growing on its head, and a pair of copper-bell-like eyes flashing with a fierce light.

"This is Niu Dali."

Hu Mei'er introduced, "He is willing to go and meet that brat."

Xiong Batian looked Niu Dali up and down, a flash of surprise in his eyes, "Are you really willing to go?"

Niu Dali said in a muffled voice, "Trying won't hurt; that brat looks skinny and weak, perhaps he is fragile."

"Good! Good!"

Xiong Batian slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Brother Niu, if you and that brat are both disqualified, I will give you this Bear Spirit Pill!"

A Bear Spirit Pill, the ox demon had already known about it.

Hu Mei'er had already told him just now.

Without some benefits, he wouldn't have come over.

Niu Dali nodded and walked toward the Arena with heavy steps.

On the Arena, Zhang Yi was sleeping soundly.

Xiao Pu was curled up in his arms, her eyes darting around, watching everything nearby.

The pig demon still stood to the side, trembling with anger, yet not daring to get close to Xiao Pu.

Niu Dali walked to the edge of the Arena and looked at the snoring Zhang Yi.

He then looked at the huffing and helpless pig demon, a flash of contempt in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and stomped his foot, causing the entire Arena to vibrate.

Zhang Yi was shaken awake and opened his eyes groggily.

Seeing a huge figure standing in front of him, he couldn't help but yawn, "Who are you? Disturbing my sleep, do you know the consequences are very serious?"

Niu Dali sneered, "Brat, are you Zhang Yi?"

Zhang Yi rubbed his eyes, finally seeing Niu Dali's appearance clearly, and couldn't help but laugh, "I was wondering who it was, so it's just an ox. That's right, I am Zhang Yi. My family doesn't need any plowing done, you can go now."

Niu Dali was stunned, then realized he had been mocked.

"Cut the crap!"

Niu Dali was ashamed and angry, "I am here today to teach you a lesson!"

Zhang Yi shrugged, "Teach me a lesson? Just you? Are you even worthy?"

Niu Dali roared and swung his huge fist toward Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi dodged without panic, then kicked Niu Dali in the stomach.

Niu Dali's massive body was actually kicked back a few steps by this kick; he looked at Zhang Yi in disbelief—how could this bird have such great strength?

Zhang Yi clapped his hands, looking disdainful, "With just this bit of skill, you want to teach me a lesson? Go back and practice for a few more years!"

Niu Dali was burning with rage and charged up again.

This time he used his full strength, his fist whistling as if to tear Zhang Yi apart.

Zhang Yi still dodged easily, then punched Niu Dali in the face.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, Niu Dali's nasal bone was broken, and blood sprayed out.

Niu Dali clutched his nose and let out a scream; he never imagined that he would be defeated by this brat with one punch.

Oh well, he was here to provoke anyway.

Getting a little hurt is fine.

With such a commotion, the Great Demon over at the Demon Saint Mansion should have seen it, right?

They should be rushing over soon.

When that time comes, he would drag this bird down with him.

Once they are all disqualified from the competition, I can go find Xiong Batian to get that Bear Spirit Pill.

The ox demon thought to himself.

Sure enough.

Before long, several Great Demons from the Demon Saint Mansion guarding the edge of the Arena were attracted by the commotion here.

At this moment.

The surrounding Demon Beasts also noticed that the Great Demons from the Demon Saint Mansion had come over.

A Demon Beast hurriedly reminded them, "Oh no, don't you know that apart from the official Arena matches, fighting and causing trouble below will lead to direct disqualification, regardless of the reason or identity!"

"Why are you fighting here? If you want to fight, go up to the Arena later."

"Exactly, it's such a pity to be disqualified."

The surrounding Demon Beasts began to discuss it, one word after another.

They all felt sorry for them one after another.

Niu Dali, however, smiled triumphantly.

With bruises on his face, he thought, this is the effect I wanted.

This beating was worth it!

Just waiting for the Great Demons from the Demon Saint Mansion to come over and disqualify this stinky bird.

He even began to fantasize about the scene where, after obtaining the Bear Spirit Pill promised by Xiong Batian, his cultivation would soar, he would suppress all his rivals, and become a new star in Yao Jie.

The surrounding Demon Beasts were still chattering away, feeling sorry for their reckless behavior.

Niu Dali glanced at them triumphantly.

He thought: A bunch of fools, once I get the Bear Spirit Pill, let's see if you still dare to look down on me!

But just as several Great Demons from the Demon Saint Mansion, wearing uniform attire and looking aggressive, walked over quickly.

Zhang Yi flapped his wings twice, leaped lightly, and jumped onto an empty Arena nearby.

This Arena was a head higher than the previous one; Zhang Yi stood on it, looking down at Niu Dali, the corners of his mouth curling into a mocking arc.

At this time, Niu Dali was still pretending to be aggrieved.

The few Great Demons walked up close, "Who is causing trouble here? Don't you know that private fighting is prohibited during the competition?"

Their sharp gazes swept over the crowd and finally landed on the bruised and swollen Niu Dali.

Niu Dali was secretly happy; the opportunity had arrived!

He pointed to the place where Zhang Yi had just been and said with a mournful face, "Lord Great Demon, it's that stinky bird! He attacked me for no reason and beat me like this! You must uphold justice for me!"
