Tongtian's Kid Sure Had Guts

The Nine Dragon Incense Chariot hovered in midair.

Haotian sat high upon the chariot, releasing the full force of his Quasi-Saint Peak pressure. The clouds churned around him.

Xiruan tilted her head, the huge Milk Bottle pointed straight at Haotian.

She stretched out a chubby little paw and beckoned to the Heavenly Emperor sitting high above her.

"Leave the chariot, hand over the peaches, and write my Daddy an IOU saying the debt's settled."

Her childish voice rang out across the entire South Heaven Gate.

"Otherwise, I'll knock your head until it rings like that guy who was fluffing cotton just now."

She pointed at Mo Lihai, still stuck in a pillar nearby and unable to pry himself free.

Haotian laughed.

He laughed in sheer fury.

Ever since Dao Ancestor Hongjun had preached at Zixiao Palace and personally appointed him ruler of the Heavenly Court, governing the Three Realms and Six Paths, who had dared speak to him like this—aside from those few Sages seated high in the clouds?

Forget some little girl who'd appeared from who-knows-where. Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches had shown him respect during the Wu-Yao War.

"Tongtian's kid sure has guts."

Haotian's voice boomed in everyone's ears, frigid to the bone.

"Tongtian failed to teach you properly and let you run wild. Today, I shall discipline you in his stead."

He clenched his right hand in midair.

A golden divine sword appeared from nowhere, its blade engraved with the sun, moon, and stars.

The Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure—the Haotian Sword. Its ringing echoed through the Thirty-Three Heavens.

It was made for slaughter and gathered the Heavenly Court's Fortune. One strike could sever the Three Flowers above a Great Luo Golden Immortal's head.

"Kneel!"

The Haotian Sword pointed straight at Xiruan. He didn't use his full strength.

After all, she was a Sage's descendant. If he really killed her and that madman Tongtian came storming into the Heavenly Court with the Four Swords of Immortal Execution, it would be a headache.

All he needed to do was sever the girl's arms and legs, cripple her cultivation, and hang her at the South Heaven Gate as a warning.

The golden sword qi turned into a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon. With a sharpness that could tear through the void, it roared toward the tiny red figure.

Xiruan wrinkled her nose.

This nasty village bully was fighting dirty—he'd actually sent a dog to bite her!

"Option three!"

Xiruan didn't hesitate for a second.

"You dare send a dog to bite me? I'll beat you until your own mother doesn't recognize you!"

Before her words had even faded, an ancient white light began to flow across the big Milk Bottle in her hands.

A power that belonged neither to the Heavenly Dao, the Primeval World, nor even Chaos erupted.

Xiruan darted forward instead of retreating, charging straight into the golden dragon of sword qi.

"Suicidal."

Haotian's expression didn't change.

To meet the Haotian Sword's qi with her bare body?

Even if an Ancestral Witch came back to life, they wouldn't be so reckless.

The next instant.

"Clang!!!"

A deafening crash shook the entire Heavenly Court once again!

The Thirty-Six Palaces and Seventy-Two Halls trembled violently.

The composure on Haotian's face froze.

The golden dragon of sword qi, powerful enough to annihilate a Da Luo Golden Immortal, shattered the instant it touched the Milk Bottle!

The tiny red figure didn't even slow down. She smashed through the sword qi and arrived before the dragon chariot in an instant.

So fast?!

Haotian's heart raced. Instinctively, he tried to retreat.

But he was too slow.

The Milk Bottle grew rapidly in his field of vision, blotting out the sun, moon, and stars.

"Tell your mom to stop sending dogs!"

A dull thud rang out.

The Milk Bottle struck Haotian squarely in the face.

Time seemed to stop for a brief moment.

In the distance, Taibai Jinxing had just arrived. The Whisk in his hand fell straight to the ground.

The various Great Beings lurking in the shadows and spying with their Divine Sense all drew in a sharp breath.

Haotian felt as if ten thousand giant bells were ringing inside his skull. Golden stars swam before his eyes, and agony spread through his body.

Then an incredible force hit him, and that damn Milk Bottle knocked him right off the dragon chariot.

The mighty ruler of the Three Realms traced an utterly pathetic arc through the air.

Crash!

Haotian slammed into the plaza before Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

The indestructible Mystic Jade cratered beneath him, leaving a human-shaped hole ten zhang across. Shattered stone flew everywhere as dust billowed into the air.

"Oops, sorry~. Baby's hand slipped."

Xiruan floated down onto the dragon chariot and sat where the Jade Emperor had just been sitting.

She even gave the Milk Bottle a disgusted shake, as if something filthy had gotten on it.

Looking down at the figure in the crater, she pouted.

"That village bully looked so sturdy. How come he's so bad at taking a beating? He's not even as hard as the rock by my house."

"Impudent monster!!"

A furious roar rose from the crater.

A streak of golden light shot skyward as Haotian soared into the air, his hair disheveled.

He looked nothing like a dignified Heavenly Emperor now.

His crown had slipped to the back of his head, and his dragon robe was torn. Most striking of all was his bruised, swollen face, puffed up like a ripe peach until his eyes were reduced to slits.

Humiliation.

That brat had dragged the Heavenly Court's dignity through the dirt!

"Haotian Mirror! Come forth!"

Haotian had completely lost his mind.

He formed a hand seal, and an ancient bronze mirror flew out from between his brows, hovering above his head.

Its surface was a haze of Chaos, yet seemed to contain all things.

This was the Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure personally bestowed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun. It could survey the Thirty-Three Heavens above and probe the Nine Nether Yellow Springs below. It could even freeze time and space, strip away the Three Flowers above one's head, and dissolve the Five Qi in one's chest!

"Freeze for me!"

Haotian gave a sharp shout.

The Haotian Mirror turned, and a beam of divine light poured down, instantly enveloping Xiruan.

Xiruan felt as though she'd fallen into a swamp. Even lifting her hand took a great deal of effort.

"Hmph! Scared now?"

Haotian's face, healed with divine power, twisted viciously.

"This is the Haotian Mirror! Even your father Tongtian would think twice before facing it! Today, I'll—"

"A mirror?"

Xiruan blinked her big eyes at the glowing bronze mirror above her.

Suddenly, she remembered accidentally breaking the neighbor's window once. Daddy had paid a lot of money to replace it, then spanked her little bottom.

She bit her little finger.

This village bully had already wrecked my house and wants to take me away, too.

So breaking one piece of his glass shouldn't be a big deal, right?

"Stupid mirror! Take a look at that ugly face of yours!"

Xiruan took a deep breath. The drop of Pangu's Essence Blood she'd just swallowed boiled within her.

"Break!"

She gave a sharp cry.

The divine light, powerful enough to freeze a Great Luo Golden Immortal, was forced apart by her tiny body.

She gripped the Milk Bottle with both hands and took a batter's stance.

She wound up.

Twisted her waist.

Swung!

Her target—the Haotian Mirror hovering in midair!

"How dare you!!" Haotian cried out in terror.

Too late.

The Chaos Baby Bottle crackled with electricity as it struck the Haotian Mirror with pinpoint accuracy.

"Crack!"

The crisp sound of breaking rang out all the more sharply in the silent Heavenly Court.

A fine fracture appeared across the mirror's surface—the Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure said to be indestructible, able to withstand even a Sage's attack.

Then came a second crack, then a third...

Haotian's eyes widened in disbelief.

Crash!

The Haotian Mirror exploded.

It became countless scraps of broken bronze and iron, clattering to the ground.
