This woman was probably Lu Man of the Heavenly Snake Manor, the one who abducted Qing Lin in the original story. But why was she here?
As Xiao Tian sized Lu Man up, she was also studying him. Who was this young man? At such an age, he had already reached the peak of the Dou Wang realm!
She then looked at the two women in his arms. To think one of them was Yun Yun, the Misty Cloud Sect's leader! Interesting. Then she looked at the other girl, and when she saw her eyes, she was overjoyed. These were the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils!!
Xiao Tian had also noticed the way she looked at Qing Lin. It seemed that no matter what kind of butterfly effect occurred, things that were meant to happen would still happen!
Lu Man said, "Little brother, could we discuss something?" "Not interested." Tsk, what an attitude. Did he have to be so blunt?
Xiao Tian said, "If you want to take Qing Lin away, then we'd better fight. I don't like wasting words. If you beat me, everything will be simple. If you lose, you either die or become my slave! So, are you going to fight or leave?"
Lu Man had not expected this mere peak Dou Wang youth to be so arrogant. She was, after all, an eight-star Dou Huang! Yet he looked down on her so much. While Lu Man was feeling indignant, Xiao Tian spoke again.
"Call out your companion, the Eight-Winged Black Snake, too. You alone aren't enough for me." When Yun Yun heard "Eight-Winged Black Snake," she thought of that sixth-tier magical beast! She said to Xiao Tian, "Undo my seal, and I'll help you." Xiao Tian undid Yun Yun's seal, then set her and Qing Lin down on the ground. "Just watch over Qing Lin."
He called out to Lu Man in the sky, "If you don't call your companion out, I'm making my move!" Yun Yun watched Xiao Tian fly up, feeling rather annoyed. Hmph, you bastard!
Lu Man did not summon White Fang to help her as Xiao Tian had said. Instead, she made the first move herself.
"Myriad Wood Prison!"
Flames rose from Xiao Tian's body, instantly reducing her skill to ashes. He flashed before her in an instant and threw a punch with a fierce gust of wind behind it. Thud! "Ah!"
Lu Man had not expected a youth at the peak of the Dou Wang realm to be so powerful. Not only could he suppress her skills, but he could also injure her. That strange Movement Technique was truly troublesome. Left with no choice, she used a whistling signal to summon the Eight-Winged Black Snake.
"White Fang, come help me!" The Eight-Winged Black Snake asked, "What happened to you? Why did you call for me?" It seemed to sense Qing Lin below, who possessed the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, and looked down. Wasn't that exactly the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils it needed?
Lu Man said, "Exactly. That's why I called you for help." White Fang said, "Don't tell me you can't even beat a four-star Dou Huang?" Lu Man said, "It's that brat over there!"
White Fang looked at Xiao Tian and laughed even harder. He was just a peak Dou Wang youth, yet she was no match for him?
Lu Man said, "If you're so capable, then you fight him!" Unless it experienced it for itself, how could it understand Xiao Tian's strength? She did not even believe it herself when she said it aloud!
White Fang said, "You're getting weaker and weaker. Watch me deal with him." With that, it charged at Xiao Tian, who also rushed forward to meet it.
"Raging Lion's Roar!"
White Fang paid it no mind and forcefully withstood it. Xiao Tian struck White Fang's body, while White Fang lashed Xiao Tian with its tail.
The two of them each retreated some distance. Xiao Tian said calmly, "As expected of the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor. I've taken a liking to that hide of yours. I'll slaughter you and skin you to make clothes!"
White Fang was also stunned. Although the youth's attack was powerful, its body could still withstand it. But its own attack had barely harmed him at all!
This time, White Fang believed Lu Man's words. This youth really was no simple character! It immediately said to Lu Man, "Let's attack together!"
Xiao Tian smiled. "Now, I'll let you understand something. In this world, it's not just those with higher levels who can crush others. Even those who fight above their level can do the same!"
"Blazing Flame Palm!" A giant palm of green flames blasted toward the snake and woman.
Lu Man and White Fang looked at the green flaming palm rushing toward them and did not dare to be careless. The two circulated their Dou Qi and unleashed powerful force to resist it. Boom!
Without hesitation, Xiao Tian flashed before Lu Man and engaged her in battle. Unable to evade him, Lu Man could only fight him head-on. Every blow she endured sent intense pain through her entire body. What is this youth's body made of?! Her attacks were utterly useless against Xiao Tian.
White Fang also charged in, and the three fought together. Lu Man unleashed skills while White Fang covered her, enduring Xiao Tian's strikes one after another.
Green Heavenly Flames coiled around Xiao Tian's body, and Lu Man's feeble attacks did not affect him in the slightest. Yun Yun, watching the battle in the sky from the ground, was somewhat dumbfounded! Lu Man was an eight-star Dou Huang, and the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor was comparable to a high-level Dou Huang! Yet neither of them was Xiao Tian's match?
What had this little bastard gone through over the past half year? What kind of suffering had he endured?
White Fang hissed, "This brat's body is practically comparable to a seventh-tier magical beast. His defense is nearly as strong as mine!!" Lu Man said, "The green flames on his body might be Heavenly Flames!" Both of them thought at once, How could there be such a monstrous youth?
Xiao Tian said calmly, "The game can end here. That fight just now has probably drawn quite a few people over. So!" He looked at the Eight-Winged Black Snake. "I still want to use you to make clothes. I really want to know whether you can take this move!"
A different Heavenly Flame ignited in each of his hands, one deep crimson and one green. Lu Man and White Fang were stunned when they saw the two kinds of flames emerging from Xiao Tian's hands! How could this person possess two kinds of Heavenly Flames?
White Fang was even more afraid. It clearly remembered Xiao Tian saying he would skin it and make clothes from its hide! Hiss... Terrifying. It's over, it's over!!! It roared angrily at Lu Man, "Crazy woman, how did you provoke such a monster?! This Emperor only came to look for Medusa. I didn't get to see Medusa, and now I might die here instead."
Lu Man said, "Why are you still talking nonsense? Do you think I wanted this? We can only withstand it by joining forces!! As long as we don't die, you'll still get to see Medusa!"
As Xiao Tian fused the Heavenly Flames, he said, "Medusa is in my arms right now. But first, you need to withstand my attack!" His hands slowly came together. Boom! Boom! A fire lotus formed from the two Heavenly Flames appeared in Xiao Tian's hands.
He then blasted it toward White Fang and Lu Man. "Buddha's Rage Fire Lotus!"
The woman and snake each used their ultimate skills to meet it. As the collision of energy grew increasingly violent, Lu Man increased her power output. "Break for me!" As the remaining Heavenly Flame energy swept toward them, White Fang did not hesitate to place itself in front of Lu Man.
Boom! Boom! The explosion erupted across its body. "Roar! Ahhh!!!" Lu Man said, "White Fang, are you alright??" White Fang said, "I never thought that even a trace of dispersed energy would be so damaging. Leave quickly! Otherwise, we'll both perish here."
Lu Man said, "I'm not leaving. I was the one who called you here! How could I abandon you? Besides, I doubt he's doing much better either."
After hearing Lu Man's words, Xiao Tian smiled. "That fusion just now involved only two kinds of Heavenly Flames. I merely wanted to see how strong you were and how much of my power you could withstand."
As soon as he finished speaking, three Heavenly Flames appeared before Xiao Tian. He brought his hands together, fusing the three Heavenly Flames into a Buddha's Rage Fire Lotus. With such power, even a Dou Zong expert might not be able to take it!!
A powerful and terrifying aura spread from the fire lotus. Xiao Tian said to the two of them, "I'll give you one chance to live. Become my slaves, or die now!"
Lu Man and White Fang had already felt the terrifying power radiating from the three-colored fire lotus!! They knew that even at their peak, the two of them might not be able to withstand it! Much less now.
Xiao Tian said calmly, "I don't like repeating myself a third time. Submit to me, or die!"
White Fang said, "I am willing to submit to you." In the world of magical beasts, strength was supreme. This youth was already so powerful at such a young age! He could slaughter everything while fighting above his level. If it could live, what was wrong with becoming a subordinate?
Lu Man said, "I am willing to submit to you as well."
Xiao Tian withdrew the Heavenly Flames and flew over. He said to the snake and woman, "Open your mouths." The two knew that the control was coming and that they would no longer have freedom! Xiao Tian tossed each of them a seed flame of Purple Fire.
He said calmly, "This is Purple Fire from my Heavenly Flames. You can use it in battle. Though it can only unleash one-tenth of its power, it is still stronger than any ordinary flame!"
He then placed soul marks upon both of them. The two of them were growing increasingly shocked. This youth's soul power was also so formidable!
He tossed them several pills to restore their Dou Qi. "I'll only say this once. If you intend to betray me, remember that your strength must not only surpass mine, but you must also erase the Purple Fire and soul marks. Otherwise, I'll let you experience the most interesting thing in this world." Seeing Xiao Tian's wicked smile, neither of them dared resist in the slightest.
Xiao Tian added, "If you perform well, I'll help you break through to the Dou Zong realm in a year." White Fang said, "Master, we magical beasts cannot advance without a Shape-Shifting Pill." "A seventh-tier pill will be easy for me in a year!" "Hiss..."
After subduing two Dou Huang thugs, Xiao Tian flew down and saw Yun Yun trying to run away. He decisively went over and sealed her Dou Qi again, ignoring her resentful gaze. He said to White Fang and Lu Man, "Follow me. We're going back so I can treat your injuries!"
