Half of the carp in the lake was eaten by Li Xiaotian in one go, and the other half was stored away, intending to supplement the health of his wife and daughter when he returned to Jiuzhou.
After all, top-tier ingredients of invulnerable level were rare and hard to come by.
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight filtered through the gaps between the towering ancient trees in the forest, and the entire forest seemed to come alive, brimming with vitality.
Li Xiaotian carefully navigated through the forest. He had been in this world for a full day, but he hadn't seen a single person, which made him a little displeased.
Hmm?
Suddenly, Li Yuntian's eyes sharpened. His divine sense detected a trace of combat aura about ten miles away. A smile curved his lips, and he charged directly towards the direction of the combat aura.
A few minutes later, Li Xiaotian finally arrived at the scene, but he was a step too late. The combat aura had long since dissipated. His face showed disappointment, but immediately, his expression changed slightly.
Before him was the scene of a great battle. The surroundings were filled with broken and cracked trees and stones. However, on the branch of an ancient tree that required ten people to encircle, a skeleton still clinging to traces of flesh and blood was hanging. The skeleton dripped with fresh blood and swayed back and forth in the wind. Dafeng Novel Network
Li Xiaotian's eyes flickered as he sensed the aura emanating from the skeleton. It was at the third stage of invincibility, having perished not long ago. More importantly, this invincible being had been brutally murdered.
Its flesh and blood had been scraped off entirely, and finally, its consciousness had been extinguished.
"Such vicious methods."
Li Xiaotian narrowed his eyes. An invincible powerhouse being tortured to death was unheard of.
He concealed his aura and cautiously searched the vicinity. The combat aura had only recently vanished, meaning the being that had tortured its prey had not yet left. And his appearance now meant he was likely being targeted by that entity.
Li Xiaotian searched the area meticulously, looking for the hidden being. He felt no fear; he wanted to find the culprit and understand why they would torture an invincible expert to death.
"Hmm? Someone!"
Li Xiaotian stopped abruptly. He saw a figure hanging from an ancient tree ahead. It was a human, looking disheveled, with blood continuously dripping, and his aura was weak.
At this moment, the man also spotted Li Xiaotian and immediately looked excited, his expression pleading.
"Fellow Daoist, save me! There is a demon powerhouse here who specializes in hunting and torturing us for amusement. Please save me, and I will reward you handsomely!"
"A demon powerhouse, then why didn't he kill you? What exactly happened just now?"
Li Xiaotian asked, his gaze calm as he swaggered towards the man.
"I don't know. He was hunting us. That skeleton you saw was one of my kin. We were exploring this area when he suddenly appeared and attacked us."
The man said, his face filled with grief and indignation.
"We were no match for him. He was too strong. But he was like a madman. He didn't spare us even when we knelt and begged for mercy."
"He tortured my kin to death in front of me. He was going to kill me too, but he must have sensed your arrival, so he disappeared immediately."
"Fellow Daoist, quickly save me. Let's leave this place together. He might be lurking in the shadows, ready to ambush you at any moment."
"If you save me, I know a place with a fortuitous encounter. I can take you there."
The man's tone was urgent, and he kept glancing around, seemingly fearful that the demon powerhouse he spoke of would suddenly emerge.
Li Xiaotian stopped when he was ten paces away from the man and looked at him, speaking mockingly.
"You say that the demon powerhouse let you go because I arrived, and now he might be lurking in the shadows, preparing to ambush me? Then wouldn't the best course of action for me be to leave immediately, rather than waste time here with you?"
"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean? You can't leave! Please save me! Don't abandon me!" Hearing this, the man immediately became anxious, his eyes pleading.
But Li Xiaotian's eyes were cold and filled with mockery.
"Whoosh!"
Instantly, Li Xiaotian moved, striking first. He unleashed his full power, his speed like lightning, and a terrifying aura emanated from him as he punched towards the man.
"Bang!"
However, unexpectedly, the man hanging on the ancient tree violently broke free from his restraints, his body instantly retreated, dodging Li Xiaotian's attack. Then, he stabilized himself, grinned, and actively charged towards Li Xiaotian.
"Hum!"
A sword light flashed. The man produced a long sword and stabbed towards Li Xiaotian's neck with a peculiar trajectory.
"Heh heh, this prey of mine is interesting. It actually discovered my disguise." The man sneered, his tone dismissive.
With a loud "Bang!", Li Xiaotian directly used his fist to blast away the man's sword.
He remained silent, his speed so great that it left an afterimage in his place. He continued to unleash punches rapidly.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three consecutive punches. When the man caught the first punch, his expression was still disdainful. But as the second and third punches landed, his face gradually turned grim, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
"Immortal Body! You possess the Immortal Body!"
The man was immensely shocked but his expression quickly turned excited, and a soaring aura of ferocity erupted from him.
"Haha, if I can torture you to death, I imagine the feeling would be incredibly enjoyable."
Immediately, the man was enveloped in demonic flames, and his entire form transformed. He became a two-headed, three-zhang tall being.
Li Xiaotian's heart tightened. A fifth-stage invulnerable expert, and a two-headed demon from the demon race at that. No wonder he enjoyed torturing his prey.
The two-headed demons of the demon race were rumored to increase their strength through fear. They tortured their enemies precisely to instill fear.
"Boom!"
The two exchanged a punch. The two-headed demon staggered back several steps, while Li Xiaotian remained unmoved.
Following that, Li Xiaotian attacked again. This time, he no longer held back. His fists shattered space as they struck, and his divine sense also invaded the two-headed demon's Great Dao space.
"Bang!"
With a loud crash, the two-headed demon was sent flying backward. Simultaneously, his eyes showed shock, and a terrifying pressure suddenly burst forth from his body, forcing out Li Xiaotian's divine sense.
"Good, very good. It's been a long time since I've encountered an opponent who could put me at a disadvantage. Human, to show my appreciation for you, I've decided to collect you, keep you in my pet cage, and torment you daily!"
The two-headed demon said coldly, his eyes chillingly terrifying.
"Noisy!"
Li Xiaotian roared, his gaze disdainful. If not for the treasure on the demon that suppressed divine sense, he would have killed him just now.
"Boom!"
Instantly, Li Xiaotian's body transformed into a three-zhang form. The surging vital energy diffused around his body, and his aura grew stronger and stronger.
"Kill!"
Li Xiaotian roared and threw another punch. The two-headed demon, now prepared, charged towards Li Xiaotian with his fist enveloped in flames.
"Bang!"
With a resounding crash, the two-headed demon's fist instantly exploded. Following that, Li Xiaotian utilized the ability of his Blood Sea clone, controlling the demon's blood to continuously surge out.
"Damn it! Bastard! What kind of technique is this?! Blood race?" The two-headed demon was greatly alarmed and also incredibly enraged. He had prepared for this, yet his fist was shattered by the opponent. This was simply a humiliation!
Moreover, he was a demon, a supreme being of the demon race, while the being before him was merely a weak human, and his cultivation realm was even lower than his. Yet, his strength surpassed his own. How could he accept this?
After all, under normal circumstances, beings from their divine realm were superior to the trash races from the outer realms.
"You've angered me! You've angered me!"
The two-headed demon roared, killing intent burning in his eyes. He used a secret technique, his aura surging once more, and he was about to attack Li Xiaotian again.
"Explode!" Li Xiaotian shouted. Instantly, the two-headed demon felt a sense of crisis, and then he felt the blood within his body generate terrifying energy fluctuations.
With a deafening "Rumble!", the two-headed demon's body instantly exploded amidst an expression of disbelief.
"Ahhh! You scoundrel! Human, you are courting death! You are provoking the great demon race!"
The two-headed demon's body instantly recovered. He was filled with murderous intent, and the rage in his heart distorted his expression into a grimace.
To be so utterly defeated by a mere trash race, how could he possibly tolerate this?
