In Yang Chen's Great Dao space, facing Yang Chen's divine sense, Li Xiaotian expressed his sincere gratitude.
He meant it. Yang Chen had truly been good to him, helping him evade the pursuit of Tuoba Tao and others, and before that, providing him with many good things.
People as selfless as this were extremely rare in this era, so Li Xiaotian decided to send the other party directly to his demise.
"You! Me? What's going on?" Yang Chen was stunned, his mind unable to comprehend. He was confused. The person they had been relentlessly chasing was hiding in his Great Dao space. This was utterly baffling to him.
But then, Yang Chen's expression changed drastically, as he detected a peculiar medicinal fragrance from Li Xiaotian, a fragrance he himself was very familiar with, having ingested it earlier.
"You! You! What did you do?!" Yang Chen roared, his face pale with fury. He had a terrible thought, one he dared not admit.
It was too absurd, too humiliating.
"Bang!"
However, Li Xiaotian had no time for further discourse. He directly used a punch to obliterate Yang Chen's divine sense.
Poor Yang Chen, he never understood what happened until his death.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, Yang Xuan was beaming with excitement, unable to contain himself.
"Brother, from this day forward, the family will be proud of you!"
Yang Xuan said, looking expectantly at Yang Chen. His breakthrough was an overwhelming surprise. The frustrations he had harbored for days vanished instantly.
"Brother, wake up! Go fight! Show them your current strength. I believe that even though you've just broken through, your power will surpass some of us among the eight of us!"
Yang Xuan continued speaking, his heart filled with elation.
"Brother?"
But the next moment, Yang Xuan's eyes were filled with confusion. He suddenly couldn't sense his brother's soul. Had he… died?
Yang Xuan shook his head. This was impossible. His brother was standing right before him; how could he be dead?
However, why was his aura rapidly declining?
"Brother, what are you doing? Are you consolidating your realm?" Yang Xuan asked, preparing to go forward and check on Yang Chen's condition.
"Boom!"
Instantly, Yang Chen's body exploded, and Li Xiaotian appeared out of nowhere.
"Bang!"
Li Xiaotian directly punched Yang Xuan, killing intent blazing in his eyes.
"You trash, how dare you hide a spatial ring from me!" Li Xiaotian roared, his divine sense instantly locking onto the sole spatial ring within Yang Xuan's body, and with a swift move, he snatched it away.
"What, what is this? Where is my brother? Scoundrel, why are you here?" Yang Xuan was stunned, completely unprepared for Li Xiaotian's attack, his mind momentarily blank.
Where did his brother go?
Why did this human suddenly appear?
He was bewildered, a vague suspicion dawning in his mind, but he dared not believe it.
Until Li Xiaotian let out a satisfied burp, a familiar herbal scent wafting from him, and instantly, Yang Xuan froze on the spot, rigid.
"Boom!"
Immediately, a terrifying aura erupted from Yang Xuan. His eyes turned blood red, his mind overwhelmed by killing intent and rage.
"Ahhhh! Bastard! You deserve to die! It was you! You were the one who caused this! Where is my brother? You killed my brother!"
Yang Xuan roared. He understood now, he was clear-headed. The medicinal herbs he had given Yang Chen earlier had been consumed by this shameless human!
The opponent had been hiding within his brother's body all along!
"Scoundrel! Go to hell!" Yang Xuan bellowed, his eyes crimson with hatred and killing intent.
He hated it. His heart ached. That feeling was more unbearable than death.
His brother was gone!
His brother's breakthrough had been a complete illusion, orchestrated by this trash of a human. Furthermore, the three treasures he had prepared for his brother had all fallen into this human's belly.
It felt like being cuckolded, like discovering the child you'd raised for decades wasn't your own.
"Pfft!" Dafeng Novel Network
Yang Xuan spat blood in his fury. He could not accept this reality.
"Your brother is a good person, selfless, and willing to sacrifice for others," Li Xiaotian said, uninterested in engaging with Yang Xuan. He looked at the Sun Bird beneath his feet, instantly slashing off its wing and then fleeing into the distance.
The Sun Bird cried out in pain, disbelief, and then fury.
All of this happened in an instant. Li Xiaotian's appearance and escape were so swift that no one present had time to react.
At this very moment, apart from Yang Xuan and the Sun Bird, who were the closest, everyone else had yet to grasp what had transpired.
They looked at the scene unfolding on the Sun Bird's back, their minds filled with question marks. Who could explain what was happening?
Why had that damned human appeared from Yang Chen's body?
Had the opponent been hiding in Yang Chen's body all along?
Gradually, they began to understand, and their anger erupted, their auras trembling. They had been played for fools by this human!
"Bastard!"
"Shame!"
"Damn it!"
Tuoba Tao and the others roared, immediately abandoning the two Kui Snakes and giving chase to Li Xiaotian.
Shame, what a disgrace!
It was too humiliating!
This human had been hidden amongst them all along, stealing their exotic fruits, causing them to bear the wrath of the Kui Snakes, only for it to turn out that the opponent was completely unharmed and had even used this time to recover from his injuries and break through.
This was treating them like idiots!
If this were to spread, their group would likely become the laughingstock of the entire Western Domain!
