"Hmph! A beast is still a beast, daring to be defiant even when facing death!"
The Seventh Divine General, noticing the dragon horse's abnormality, couldn't help but let out a cold snort, a flicker of disdain in his eyes.
Xing Zhan and Madam Du also looked on with contempt; this foolish horse had gone insane.
But in the next moment, the expressions of all three changed drastically. They turned around in shock and looked into the distance.
"This is impossible!"
"He actually came!!!"
"Damn it!"
Their faces contorted as a tremendously powerful aura emanated from afar. Even though they could see nothing in their vision, the sheer might of that presence sent tremors through their hearts, even instilling a hint of fear.
Li Xiaotian had arrived!
"Roar! Hahaha, you three idiots, prepare to die!"
The dragon horse roared. It had never anticipated Li Xiaotian's arrival with such eagerness, but at this moment, it wished Li Xiaotian would appear before them immediately.
"Seeking death, I'll kill you first!"
The Seventh Divine General snorted coldly upon hearing this, a fierce killing intent flashing in his eyes as he thrust his spear towards the dragon horse.
Xing Zhan and Madam Du, seeing this, did not intervene. Their expressions, however, were grim. With Li Xiaotian's arrival, their own survival was uncertain. If the Seventh Divine General wanted to kill the dragon horse, they had no capacity to interfere.
"Roar! You fool!"
The dragon horse was instantly startled. At this point, why wasn't the opponent fleeing instead of trying to kill it?
Did they not know Li Xiaotian was coming? If they didn't escape, they were surely doomed.
Of course, even escaping was futile.
The dragon horse roared, running with all its might to evade the Seventh Divine General's spear.
Hope seemed within reach. It would be too unfair, too humiliating to die now.
It refused to accept this fate!
"Buzz!"
The spear pierced through space, its bone-chilling killing intent surging towards the dragon horse.
Knowing Li Xiaotian had arrived, the Seventh Divine General was certain of his own demise. He intended to take someone down with him before he died.
"Roar! Dammit!"
As the spear drew closer, the dragon horse roared in panic.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, with a deafening sound, the dragon horse felt no pain. The Seventh Divine General's spear had been blocked!
A figure appeared before the dragon horse, catching the spear with one hand.
The terrifying power contained within the spear was instantly suppressed, and it remained motionless in mid-air.
The arrival was none other than Li Xiaotian!
"Boom!"
Instantly, Li Xiaotian's body exuded a fearsome aura. The spear in his hand was then directly crushed by him.
A Celestial-grade weapon, shattered just like that!
For a moment, the Seventh Divine General and the other two stood frozen, their eyes filled with shock and dread.
The dragon horse, meanwhile, roared with excitement.
"Roar! I knew you would come!! Li Xiaotian, kill them all! I want revenge, revenge!!"
Recalling its desperate escape, its humiliating flight, and the tragic fate of the rat demon, the dragon horse was overwhelmed with sorrow. It roared and bellowed.
"Li! Xiaotian!"
The Seventh Divine General spoke in a deep voice, his eyes filled with apprehension and solemnity, though a fleeting glint of fighting spirit could be seen in their depths.
Xing Zhan and the other two tensed up, instinctively clustering around the Seventh Divine General.
"Weren't you supposed to be attending to important matters? How did you end up like this?"
Li Xiaotian spoke to the dragon horse unhurriedly, completely ignoring the three figures behind him as if he hadn't even seen them.
"Cough, cough, I was too rash this time."
The dragon horse replied, its tone somewhat dejected, before collapsing onto the ground.
The poison had spread throughout its body; it was a miracle it had held on this long.
"Don't mind me, kill them! Avenge me, and I will willingly be your mount from now on!"
The dragon horse spoke weakly, its voice urgent. It feared the Seventh Divine General and the other two would escape.
"I'll kill them later. They can't escape."
Li Xiaotian's voice was calm. He then crouched down, placing a hand on the dragon horse's body and circulating his devouring power to absorb the poison within.
"Damn it, no! This is potent poison, you'll be poisoned too! Don't mind me!"
The dragon horse exclaimed urgently, its eyes filled with anxiety.
Li Xiaotian did not respond, continuing his absorption.
Not only could his devouring power consume all things, but he had just emerged from a plague-stricken area, his body already impervious to all poisons. The dragon horse's toxins were nothing to him.
"Li Xiaotian!!! Come and fight!!!"
At this moment, seeing Li Xiaotian completely disregard them, the Seventh Divine General was instantly enraged. This was an insult, a dismissal!
Xing Zhan and Madam Du also looked displeased. After all, they were overlords, and Li Xiaotian's disregard was deeply insulting.
However, they dared not provoke Li Xiaotian as the Seventh Divine General did; they were genuinely afraid of death.
"Shut up! Can't you see I'm busy? Why are you barking aimlessly?"
Li Xiaotian reprimanded, not even turning his head, as if scolding a stray dog barking by the roadside.
"Ahhh! Li Xiaotian, you're seeking death!!!"
The Seventh Divine General's face flushed crimson. He was a Divine General of the Ancient God Tribe, a genius of the tribe, and had never been so ignored and insulted.
"Kill!"
The Seventh Divine General roared, instantly transforming into his Ancient God form and unleashing a punch towards Li Xiaotian.
"Seventh Brother!"
Qing Lin cried out, her eyes filled with anxiety. She knew this action was tantamount to seeking death.
As the Seventh Divine General's fist was about to strike, Li Xiaotian, who was healing the dragon horse, casually swung his left hand backward.
"Boom!"
Instantly, a terrifying energy erupted, and the Seventh Divine General's massive body was forced back. He retreated hundreds of meters before managing to stabilize himself.
Witnessing this, Xing Zhan and Madam Du, who had been harboring ill intentions, immediately became docile, their faces pale.
Li Xiaotian was too powerful; even the three of them combined were no match for him.
"Mere ants!"
Li Xiaotian muttered. Though his voice was low, everyone present could hear it.
"Ahhh! Li Xiaotian!! Fight me honorably!"
The Seventh Divine General roared, his eyes blazing. He knew he was doomed, but he wanted to die like a warrior, not be so miserably ignored and insulted.
Meanwhile, Li Xiaotian had finished absorbing the poison from the dragon horse. As for its injuries, they would not heal anytime soon.
Li Xiaotian slowly stood up and then turned to face the Seventh Divine General and the other two.
At this moment, the Seventh Divine General was charging forward. Seeing Li Xiaotian turn around, he abruptly stopped and shouted.
"Li Xiaotian, reveal your Ancient God form, and let us fight a righteous battle!"
However, Li Xiaotian paid him no mind. He looked at the three of them with a calm expression and then spoke.
"You have considerable courage. Knowing the dragon horse follows me, you still dared to attack it. Do you desire death so much?"
As he spoke, Li Xiaotian's voice grew colder, and his expression became grim.
"Boom!"
Instantly, a terrifying killing intent swept across heaven and earth. The entire sky seemed to darken, with ominous clouds gathering.
"Come and fight!"
The Seventh Divine General roared, showing no fear, his fighting spirit burning even brighter.
But Xing Zhan and the other two were different. They were not part of the Ancient God Tribe. Although various factions in Manzhou had joined forces to kill Li Xiaotian, they were from the War Domain. Even if they bowed to Li Xiaotian, the outside world would not know.
"Li Xiaotian, this is a misunderstanding. I had no intention of killing the dragon horse; I wanted to capture it and make it the divine beast of my Xing Tian Tribe."
Xing Zhan spoke quickly, not wanting to die.
Li Xiaotian smiled, glanced at the three of them, and then said coldly.
"It makes no difference. Regardless of your intentions, you wish to die, and I shall grant you your wish."
With that, Li Xiaotian unleashed a punch.
