In a devastated forest, the little Kui snake cried out, its body riddled with wounds. Some parts of its body revealed bare bones, and its aura was incredibly weak.
Facing the playful torment of four mid-tier powerhouses, it, a supposedly invincible first-tier creature, had no way to resist, not even a chance to escape. It could only await death.
"Roar!"
The little Kui snake shrieked, its cries filled with anger and fear. It didn't understand why these powerful beings were bullying it.
It had only wanted to find its parents, to find the human who had treated it so well. Carefully, it had avoided dangerous areas. Instead, it had been discovered by this group and attacked.
Therefore, it couldn't comprehend or understand.
Heeding Tuoba Yu's command, the four mid-tier powerhouses on the scene approached the little Kui snake.
"Whoosh!" The little Kui snake tried to escape. Its innate spiritual sense told it that something terrible was about to happen, and it would be in immense pain.
"Bang!"
One of them, seeing this, directly punched the little Kui snake, sending it flying. Then, another individual acted, grabbing the little Kui snake's tail with both hands and slamming it violently onto the ground.
"Crack!"
Another powerhouse unleashed a punch, aiming directly at the little Kui snake's vital spot.
"Hiss hiss!"
The little Kui snake let out a pained cry, its massive body twisting wildly. Its body was broken!
The smell of blood permeated the surroundings. The four individuals had completely subdued the little Kui snake.
"Hurry, skin it and bone it! I don't believe it has no kin!" Tuoba Yu shouted from the air, a flicker of wicked glee in her eyes.
Demons were inherently bloodthirsty and cruel. Seeing this scene, they naturally felt a thrill.
On the ground, the four mid-tier powerhouses made their move. One of them reached for the little Kui snake's body.
"Hiss!"
The little Kui snake, its eyes red, retaliated, opening its gaping maw to swallow the person who attacked it.
"Filthy beast, you court death!"
Someone snorted coldly and directly swung their saber.
"Aow!" A piercing scream erupted from the little Kui snake's mouth. Its two venomous fangs were severed. The pain was unbearable, causing tears to stream from its eyes.
"Skin it and bone it. Don't keep the noble lady waiting too long," someone said, taking out a long saber, preparing to peel its skin.
The little Kui snake's eyes widened in terror, its gaze flickering with pleas for mercy.
"Heh heh, this little beast can actually beg for mercy? It's just an unintelligent animal. Does it even know what begging for mercy means?" someone sneered.
Immediately, the saber flashed, and the long blade sliced towards the little Kui snake's body.
"Bang!"
Just as the long saber was about to cut through the little Kui snake's body, a golden light suddenly flew from the distance, directly knocking the saber away.
"Who is it?"
"Presumptuous!"
Instantly, everyone present became enraged, unleashing their terrifying auras.
"Get out here! Which blind fool dares to ruin this Lord's good deed!" Tuoba Yu shrieked from high above, her gaze chillingly fixed in the direction from which the golden light came.
"Crunch!"
The sound of footsteps crushing branches echoed from the forest. Li Xiaotian calmly walked out.
"Everyone, this Kui snake is my pet. You bullies my pet while I'm away. Isn't that a bit too much?"
Li Xiaotian said unhurriedly, his eyes turning cold as he saw the little Kui snake's severe condition.
He had rushed here as quickly as he could, but he was a little late, and the little one had suffered.
"Hiss hiss!" Upon seeing Li Xiaotian, the little Kui snake emitted an excited sound, its eyes filled with a plea for help and a hint of joy.
"Your pet? Heh, you say it's your pet, so it is? Who can prove it?"
After hearing Li Xiaotian's words, Tuoba Yu and the others all laughed, their eyes filled with mockery.
"A mere lowly human dares to be arrogant before this Lord. Kill him!"
Tuoba Yu sneered from the sky, her gaze indifferent. She couldn't be bothered to waste words with Li Xiaotian.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Hearing Tuoba Yu's command, two individuals on the ground instantly lunged towards Li Xiaotian.
"Rumble!" One of them had a turbulent aura that tore through space, his eyes flashing with killing intent. He was the one whose saber had been knocked away by Li Yuntian earlier.
The other was surging with vital energy, emitting a terrifying aura. A ball of dark light shot towards Li Xiaotian.
Both of them were invincible fifth-tier powerhouses, brimming with confidence in their abilities. Moreover, Li Xiaotian's aura was calm, so they didn't take him seriously at all.
After all, in the void universe, the strong did not need reasons for their actions. If this human before them were truly powerful, he would not have wasted words with them. If he wanted this Kui snake, he would have seized it.
But he didn't, so this human before them must be a weakling.
In the blink of an eye, the two reached Li Xiaotian from left and right. Their auras were terrifying, their attacks vicious, intending to shatter Li Xiaotian's body with a single blow.
"Boom!" Just then, an invisible energy suddenly erupted from Li Xiaotian's body, instantly transforming into an invisible beam that struck both of them.
"Ah!" Upon being hit by the invisible beam, both of them cried out in agony, and their bodies inexplicably began to shatter piece by piece.
Their eyes were filled with horror and disbelief; they couldn't comprehend what was happening.
"Boom!"
Then, with another deafening roar, their bodies instantly exploded, turning into a mist of blood.
For a moment, the scene fell silent. Everyone stared at Li Xiaotian with eyes full of incredulity.
"How is this possible?!" Tuoba Yu's eyes widened, filled with terror.
They had never imagined that this suddenly appearing human would be so formidable, killing two of their companions with a single move.
One must remember that the two who had just attacked were invincible fifth-tier powerhouses. While they could still recover, Li Xiaotian's move had stunned them.
"Who are you? What exactly do you want?" Tuoba Yu asked, her gaze wary. Simultaneously, the others swiftly flew into the sky, positioning themselves behind Tuoba Yu.
The strength Li Xiaotian had revealed made them feel threatened.
But who would have thought that Li Xiaotian would not respond to Tuoba Yu at all? Instead, he walked towards the little Kui snake.
The little Kui snake cried out pitifully. Looking at its injuries, Li Xiaotian's gaze grew colder.
"Presumptuous! I'm asking you a question. Why aren't you answering me?" Tuoba Yu shouted. Although Li Xiaotian was powerful, she wasn't afraid at all, for she was a demon.
And in this world, no one dared to kill her!
"Slap!"
But who would have thought that Li Xiaotian would suddenly wave his hand? A colossal palm that blotted out the sky swung towards Tuoba Yu.
"Boom!"
Instantly, half of Tuoba Yu's body was blown apart.
Witnessing this, everyone present was terrified, staring at Li Xiaotian in disbelief. Had this human gone mad? He dared to attack a demon. Wasn't he afraid of retribution later?
After all, before entering this world, the God of Fire had warned everyone not to lay hands on the noble figures of the God Realm and the twelve supreme worlds. Therefore, they simply couldn't comprehend how someone would dare to attack Tuoba Yu under such circumstances.
"Ahhh! You bastard! You deserve to die!"
Tuoba Yu roared, acting like a shrew.
"Boom!"
But in the next moment, Li Xiaotian moved. His body flashed into the sky, growing in size. This time, his target was everyone.
