Getting serious? I'll beat you ‘til you can’t stop crying!
Jiang Yuqiong froze for a moment, then burst into inner laughter.
Well, well!
Getting robbed?
And by a five- or six-year-old kid no less!
The boy had struggled mightily to muster a fierce look—it was downright comical.
Trying to scare a three-year-old, huh?
He couldn't hold back a chuckle, then put on a stern face, speaking coldly.
"Dare to rob me?"
"I'll give you one chance—hand over all your treasure medicines!"
"Or I'll beat you 'til you can't stop crying!"
Jiang Yuqiong waved his fist as he spoke, far more menacing than the boy.
The a small boy visibly paused, blinking rapidly.
His mind buzzed.
This kid, a whole head shorter than him, was counter-robbing him?
That babyish voice—was it serious?
What's going on?
After a beat, he tried to look even fiercer.
"Then I'll take it myself—don't say I bullied you!"
The a small boy lunged forward, his steps bold and swift, closing in on Jiang Yuqiong in an instant.
A hand shot out, wrapped in robust spiritual energy, radiating a domineering toughness, aiming for the spirit fruit.
"He's really doing it?"
Jiang Yuqiong raised an eyebrow.
He swung a small fist, slamming it against the boy's palm.
"BOOM!"
A clash echoed, a burst of blinding light erupting between fist and palm.
Sharp energy lashed out like blades, carving a deep gash into the nearby cliff.
"Thud thud thud!"
The a small boy stumbled back seven or eight steps before steadying himself.
"Ow!"
"Your body's insane!"
He grimaced, clutching his stinging right hand.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yuqiong stood unmoved, unscathed.
The boy was floored.
"You've got some guts, huh!"
"But I only used half my strength—you're no match for me!"
"Hand over the fruit, or I'm getting serious!"
The a small boy growled menacingly again.
Jiang Yuqiong perked up instantly.
"Get serious? Great—bring it on!"
"I've never fought anyone yet—perfect chance to test you out!"
Anyone bold enough to roam this wilderness wasn't ordinary.
This a small boy, young as he was, must have solid cultivation.
A great sparring partner to gauge his own strength!
As he spoke, his blood surged, roaring like a tidal wave!
"Buzz buzz buzz…"
A ferocious aura swept out, shaking the void!
His body gleamed like divine metal, muscles taut as a primal beast, his presence overwhelming!
Loose rocks on the cliff tumbled under his pressure!
The a small boy's heart jolted.
He'd never seen such raw physical power—blood qi so fierce it resonated with the void!
Without a word, Jiang Yuqiong cracked the ground with a stomp, charging at the boy!
No need for thought—the a small boy reacted!
"BOOM!" Boundless spiritual energy erupted from him, surging outward.
The area turned into an ocean of power!
His hands formed a seal, spiritual energy morphing into a fierce tiger.
A potent divine technique!
"Tiger Slaughter Seal!"
He shouted, unleashing it!
"ROAR!"
The tiger, formed of spiritual energy, roared skyward.
Its four paws pounded the void, lunging at the tiny figure ahead.
"Not bad! But nowhere near enough!"
Jiang Yuqiong murmured.
His right hand clenched into a fist, pure physical might crashing down on the tiger phantom!
"AWOOO!"
With a wail, the tiger shattered, exploding into scattered light!
The blast tore through, whipping up a storm in the void!
Its sharp force shredded everything—grass and trees reduced to bits.
Boulders on the cliff crumbled, crashing down!
Amid the chaos, the a small boy was flung back, tumbling over a dozen zhang across the ground.
When he stopped, he'd eaten a mouthful of dirt.
"What the hell kind of body is this? Freak!"
He cursed, spitting.
He couldn't fathom a kid so much smaller having a body this monstrous—taking a divine technique head-on like it was nothing!
And still unscathed!
Now charging again like a wild bull, fist raised!
"Again!"
Jiang Yuqiong bellowed, closing in like a cicada in eight steps.
He swung!
"I don't believe I can't beat a little bean like you!"
"Nine Divine Wheels—rise!"
The a small boy yelled.
BOOM!!!
Nine massive divine wheels flared behind him!
Blazing golden light flooded the sky, bathing everything in gold!
This wilderness lay beyond the sacred artifact's reach—he could unleash his full power!
Instantly, one wheel slammed toward the charging Jiang Yuqiong!
Then the second, third, fourth…
Each wheel carried world-shattering might, grinding the void with deafening rumbles!
A blazing, earth-shaking force!
By comparison, Jiang Yuqiong seemed puny!
"Not bad at all! Still not enough!"
He chuckled.
Kicking off, he streaked forward.
A fist roared up, smashing the first wheel!
"BOOM!!!"
A thunderous crash rang out.
The wheel shot back faster, like a mountain hurtling through the sky, flattening a nearby hill into dust and debris!
"Show me your real strength! Or I'm coming for you!"
Jiang Yuqiong laughed, his youthful voice echoing.
Fearless, he hammered away, blow after blow.
Each punch sent a wheel flying!
The area shook with blasts, rocks soaring, the ground quaking!
Soon, he stood before the a small boy again.
"Is your body forged from divine iron? Monster! Freak!"
"No more, no more!"
"I'd have to pull out my trump card!"
The a small boy howled, flipping over and bolting, muttering nonstop.
He was done!
A kid that small with such a terrifying body—unthinkable!
Too strong!
No point fighting—run!
"Think you can escape?"
"I said I'd beat you 'til you can't stop crying!"
Jiang Yuqiong grinned.
With a flicker of the Art of Movement, he nabbed the boy by the collar.
One small hand clamped like iron, locking him in place.
The other rained down on his backside—smack after smack!
"For robbing me! For being naughty!"
"WAAAH! I'm sorry! Spare me!"
In the wilderness, scolding mixed with wails echoed far and wide.
Oddly, both voices were still quite youthful.
