Chapter 224: Nezha: Leave the Killing to Me

Clearly, none of the three of them could answer Tang An's question.

It wasn't just Tang An; Sun Wukong and Yang Jian had also sensed that Tang An's origins were extraordinary.

As for Nezha... he just felt that Tang An was simply Tang An.

"Forget it, let's solve the problems of the river demon and Xishi Hollow for now."

Solve the river demon, and settle the Causality.

Solve the road at Xishi Hollow, and they would be able to continue their journey west.

Outside Qijue Mountain, on the riverbank.

Tang An's Grand Master Chair wouldn't sit steady, so she had no choice but to sit on Jiuyue's back and not get off.

"Regarding this matter, I have no special requirements for the three of you."

"There is only one goal: you must stir up all the turtle eggs in his Water Mansion for me."

"I want him to crawl out and escape on his own."

Nezha pondered for a moment and only said, "Leave it to me."

He flew directly above the water surface and unleashed the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover. Two dragons emerged simultaneously, surrounding the area from left and right, and plunged into the water with a crash.

In less than three breaths, Tang An saw bubbles rising on the surface of the water in one spot.

"Holy crap, instant cook." She could even smell the fragrance of boiled fish meat.

"Brother Nezha, that's no fun; watch me."

Sun Wukong mounted his Somersault Cloud, and in mid-air, he made his Golden Cudgel grow larger and larger, then smashed it into the water and stirred it up.

It was hard to imagine how dizzy the fish and shrimp in the water, who hadn't been touched by the Samadhi True Fire, must be feeling right now.

Tang An played a DJ version of the "Sound of the Cloud Palace" for entertainment while taking out a megaphone.

"Hoo, hoo."

After testing the sound, she shouted toward the lake, "You don't need to make a sound, and I don't care if you're home or not."

"But since you dared to scheme against me, this Water Mansion of yours will definitely not be left standing today."

"If you are hiding in the shadows, I advise you to flee early. If you are hiding in the river, then I advise you to hide a little longer."

"Because if you don't show your head, you might not necessarily die. But if you do show your head, even if Rulai himself arrives, he won't be able to save you."

Saying this, Tang An got caught up in the music and started rocking out.

The three of them were having a blast, but Yang Jian stood by Tang An's side the whole time, not making a single move.

"Hey Yang Jian, the last time we played like this, it was with the Curtain-Lifting General, right?"

"The Eight Hundred Mile Liusha River; I wonder how he's doing now, and if he still has psychological trauma?"

On the shore, in the woods.

Hearing Tang An's words, the figure hiding within clearly faltered.

Played with the Curtain-Lifting General? The Eight Hundred Mile Liusha River?

It seemed that their group really did possess extraordinary strength.

The figure seemed to have made up his mind to flee, but the moment he turned, he froze on the spot.

What did he see? To be scared like this?

He saw Xiaotian Quan squatting in front of him, licking its paws.

"Playing mind games with her, trying to pull a fast one in front of her—what were you thinking?" Xiaotian Quan asked with great composure, voicing the doubt in its heart.

The river demon tried to take advantage of a moment of inattention to escape, but Xiaotian Quan transformed into human form and knocked the snake demon unconscious with a large bone.

Then, Xiaotian Quan transformed back into a dog, bit the snake demon's clothes, and dragged him to Tang An's side.

"Caught him, Master." It stood tall and proud, waiting for Tang An's praise.

Tang An rewarded Xiaotian Quan with a bag of dog food, "Good job."

Xiaotian Quan's eyes lit up at the sight of the dog food, and it ran off biting the bag.

"So, it's a flood dragon."

Tang An rolled up her sleeves, went to the riverbank where the water was boiling, scooped up a ladle of hot water, and poured it on the river demon's face.

"Splash—"

"Pfft, pfft!!!" The river demon was scalded awake, jumping up and thrashing about.

"Smack!"

Tang An smashed a brick against the back of his head from behind.

He was out cold.

"Again." Tang An went to fetch more water and continued to pour it.

And then... continued to knock him out.

Once, twice, three times...

When the river demon stood up for the sixth time, there were already five large bumps on the back of his head.

"Hey! Hey!"

The river demon had been beaten until one eye looked left and the other looked right; his brain was almost smashed to pieces.

He clutched his head, his left foot tripping over his right as he turned to look at Tang An. As a result, his left foot tripped over his right, and he fell down.

"Take this!"

The sixth time, Tang An hit him directly on the forehead.

Poor river demon; his face was scalded cooked, and his head was covered in bloody bumps.

By the time he was scalded awake for the seventh time, he was so awake that he couldn't even stand up.

"Don't, don't hit me anymore..."

"What on earth... what on earth did I do to offend you all?"

His home was first demolished, then burned and demolished; the people he had captured were released, and as for his minor demons, they died one after another, died one after another, died one after another...

He just couldn't understand it; what kind of deep hatred or grudge was this? They hadn't even met before, and even if they were fighting over territory, there was no need to keep swinging bricks at him and beating him incessantly, right?

"Bai Susu, do you know her?" Tang An still wore a smile, but killing intent was brewing in her eyes.

This was the first time for Tang An, the first time she wanted to kill a demon.

Her hands had not yet truly been stained with blood, let alone taken a human or demon life.

Upon hearing the name Bai Susu, the river demon stood up and prepared to flee.

But could he escape?

"Get back here for Old Sun!" Sun Wukong smashed him back in front of Tang An with a single strike of his staff.

Tang An took a dagger-type magical artifact out of her Universe Bag, her hands trembling.

"You cannot."

This shout did not come from the snake demon; instead, it was Nezha who held Tang An back.

He took the dagger from Tang An's hand, "Leave the matter of killing to me."

Tang An's eyes shifted slightly, her eyelashes trembling faintly.

And the next moment, that dagger, carrying Samadhi True Fire, pierced directly through the river demon's brow.

The river demon had no time to struggle, resist, or even beg for mercy. His life and death were decided in a single thought from Nezha.

After the river demon died, Nezha retrieved the dagger, washed it clean by the river, and then returned it to Tang An.

"I know the bitterness of bearing a killing tribulation; you, too, should not have to carry such things."

Tang An took the dagger, always feeling that sometimes Nezha was just a tsundere little brat. At other times, he was full of divinity.

And a mature, steady appearance like this was truly rare.

"Have you really grown up?"

The mood Nezha had just cultivated was instantly shattered by Tang An.

His hair was practically smoking, "I grew up a long time ago!!!"

"Sss~ look at you, getting worked up again." Tang An smoothed his hair down.

"Your master is just expressing some sentiment, what are you getting so worked up about, right?"

"We need to cultivate our hearts, to be calm and composed, understand?"

"And another thing..."

Nezha looked at the incessantly chattering Tang An, his face twitching slightly as he speechlessly covered his forehead.

"Second Brother..."

Yang Jian pursed his lips, suppressing a laugh, "Huh?"

"Can you do something about her?"

"She is the master."

"But she just treats me like a child!"

"Then you should reflect on why Master doesn't treat me and Brother Monkey like children."

"Do I look that much like a child?"

"Well, not exactly, but if Master said that I and Brother Monkey were children, we certainly wouldn't get angry."

!!!

So in their hearts, they both treated him like a child?

"Ah!!!!"

"Mmph..."

Nezha's mouth was manually closed by Tang An, "Stop 'ah-ing,' it's time to call Marshal Tianpeng down to settle things."
