We bear people have power

Guan Bo was already planning to flatten this thousand-mile-long thorny ridge in one fell swoop, since there were no other living beings in this desolate place anyway. The thousand-mile-long thorny ridge was rarely visited by humans and almost devoid of life.

With such a large target, Guan Bo could use it to test the maximum power of the evolved Ruyi Divine Weapon.

However, the heavens were not on their side, or rather, the heavenly "palace" was not cooperating. Thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals descended to earth, and the clouds they formed completely obscured the area around the ancient temple.

Guan Bo looked up at the sky and saw a golden-armored general holding a crescent-shaped broadsword, pointing at Guan Bo and cursing.

"Who is this guy?" Guan Bo asked Ling Xiu.

Of the three, only this little girl had lived in the Heavenly Court for a period of time. If she didn't know her, Guan Bo naturally wouldn't know her either.

"I don't know her," Lingxiu said, shaking her head.

At this moment, Yingcao spoke up, saying, "It seems to be the Winged Fire Serpent King Jiao."

Although Yingcao was in the underworld, she was being groomed by Cui Yu as a potential judge and had some knowledge of the gods in the Heavenly Court, which was more than that of Lingxiu, a girl who spent her days as a hooligan.

The Winged Fire Serpent is one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, a subordinate of the Fire God. Just now, Guan Bo's hammer blow inflicted heavy casualties on the Fire Gods, and the heavenly soldiers and generals who fled back reported to their superiors.

The star serpent Yi Huoshe then led more troops down to earth to capture Guan Bo, who dared to oppose the Heavenly Court.

However, the Winged Fire Serpent made a mistake. He thought Guan Bo was just an ordinary demon king he occasionally encountered, someone he could easily capture with a single move. Therefore, upon meeting him, he launched into a fierce attack, making quite a scene.

However, he hadn't expected that Guan Bo's patience was unusually poor today. Before Winged Fire Serpent could even finish his cursing, Guan Bo attacked directly.

The blazing golden seal slammed down on the group of heavenly soldiers and generals without mercy, aiming to kill them instantly.

Winged Fire Serpent didn't expect Guan Bo to start fighting so directly, and feeling a little embarrassed, he wanted to show off his might in front of his subordinates and make a name for himself again.

Therefore, the winged fire serpent faced the blazing golden seal descending from the sky without dodging or avoiding it.

As it flew, it laughed loudly, "Playing with fire in front of this god, you're truly courting death!"

With a flick of his longsword, the winged fire serpent unleashed a whirlwind of magical power that swept towards the blazing golden seal. Guan Bo immediately sensed that the evil god fire, the Tushita fire, and the Asura fire on the seal were being drawn away by the whirlwind, completely out of control.

The Winged Fire Serpent's face was full of smugness; he had the right to be arrogant, as his fire control technique was arguably the best below even the Fire Virtue Star Lord. Despite the high quality of the three flames, Guan Bo couldn't control them at all, instead using them to his advantage.

The three flames were drawn away by the whirlwind and coiled around the winged fire serpent's longsword. The next moment, the blade's sharp edge would make Guan Bo reap what he sowed and taste the power of these three flames.

Having only drawn half of the flame, the Winged Fire Serpent widened its eyes and shouted, "What? There's another golden seal?!"

Guan Bo: "..."

Yingcao and Lingxiu: "..."

Heavenly soldiers and generals: "..."

Zhou Gu: "If I don't say something soon, it will become just padding the word count."

Everyone was completely bewildered. It turned out that the Winged Fire Serpent had mistaken that huge lump in the sky for a pure fire spell. It's understandable, given the Winged Fire Serpent's position; looking up at the sky, it could only have seen a mixture of three types of flames.

He could draw away the Flaming Winged Fire Serpent, but he was powerless against this enormous golden seal. Moreover, he had charged too fast in his attempt to establish his authority, and now he didn't even have time to dodge.

"This is the first time I've ever seen someone stupidly confront the Ruyi Divine Weapon head-on. Are your family members aware of your recklessness?" Guan Bo laughed, urging his magic power to send the Blazing Golden Seal crashing down at an even faster speed.

The Winged Fire Serpent only had time to swing its longsword before the three flames transformed into three giant serpents, which intertwined and crashed into the golden seal.

Unfortunately, these three flames originated from the Ruyi Divine Weapon, and the treasure was constantly being tempered by them. Therefore, the three fire snakes were instantly crushed and could not even withstand the pressure for a moment.

Then, the golden seal pressed down on the tip of the winged fire serpent's blade.

Like the previous three fire serpents, they were shattered by the golden seal in a single encounter.

The Winged Fire Serpent coughed up a mouthful of blood; the recoil had severely injured it. But Guan Bo showed no mercy. The golden seal fell, knocking the Winged Fire Serpent down from the clouds and suppressing it in the thorn bushes below.

However, the Winged Fire Serpent's forced show of force did have a tiny bit of effect, namely, giving its subordinates enough time to dodge. Therefore, Guan Bo's move only suppressed the Winged Fire Serpent, while the remaining thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals remained unharmed.

However, with their own leaders suppressed, the remaining soldiers lost their leader and were left with no clear plan of whether to fight or flee.

Guan Bo could sense that the winged fire serpent trapped underneath was still alive, but it was probably severely injured. He didn't necessarily intend to kill them all, but if the Heavenly Court wanted to fight, he would never back down.

Now that they have intimidated the other side, Guan Bo will not cause too much trouble with the Heavenly Court for Nezha's sake.

The Ruyi Divine Weapon transformed into a purple-gold sphere and flew back to Guan Bo's side. A large, square pit appeared on the Thorn Ridge, and in the middle of the pit, a human figure, its body torn to pieces, was pressed into the ground, looking quite miserable.

Seeing this, the heavenly soldiers and generals finally reacted and sent more than a dozen to rescue the Winged Fire Serpent.

Guan Bo didn't stop them, but said to them, "You probably wouldn't believe me even if I told you, but every time it was your Heavenly Court people who struck first. If you want to settle scores again, I, Guan Bo of Fangcun Mountain, am waiting."

Fearing that these people might not understand who he was dealing with, Guan Bo even mentioned his own sect.

Hearing this, Yingcao chimed in, "And me too! If you dare to utter another word, I'll have my brother, the Great God Nezha of the Three Altars and Seas, come and beat you up!"

Yingcao, not to be outdone, retorted, "Then let's add me too, my master is Cui Yu, the judge of the underworld."

These names sound intimidating: Fangcun Mountain is the master's school of the Monkey King; Nezha is a powerful second-generation immortal who is also famous for his fighting prowess; and the last one, Judge Cui Yu, is probably more famous than the previous two.

After all, mortals may not know the Great Sage Equaling Heaven or the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas, but they will know that there is a judge in the underworld who can decide life and death.

Having just been rescued by his subordinates and slowly regaining consciousness, the Winged Fire Serpent fainted again upon hearing these words, and it's estimated that he won't wake up anytime soon.

There's no other way. Given the current situation, waking up would mean taking the blame, so it's better to just cover it up for now.

The heavenly soldiers and generals, surrounding the winged fire serpent, fled once again, covered in dust and grime.

Guan Bo watched the direction they fled in and muttered, "Won't these cowards come back to cause trouble later?"

Zhou Gu witnessed everything that happened, his legs trembling. It hadn't been long since he'd seen the panda spirit, and now it had such a terrifying backer, while these two little girls had become these frightening second-generation immortals. Zhou Gu couldn't have been more regretful.

They should have stuck to Guan Bo from the start, instead of being opportunists.

However, it seems not too late now. Zhou Gu fawned over Guan Bo and said, "Great Immortal, I have a plan to break the protective formation of this Thorn Ridge."
