Kill Liu Xi

Xiao Zhan and Jia Liebi felt a powerful aura almost simultaneously, and both looked toward a spot in the sky.

A figure was seen approaching rapidly.

Looking closely, one could see a pair of broad purple wings on the man's back, with a giant Blue Eagle following beside him.

"A Dou King expert! How could a Dou King come to Wutan City?"

Jia Liebi exclaimed in shock, while Xiao Zhan frowned; the suspected Dou King before him seemed somewhat familiar!

After all, having been stared at for a full hour during the Coming-of-Age Ceremony, it would be strange if Xiao Zhan were not familiar with Xiao Lei.

But how much time had passed since then?

At most a few months, so how did the original four-star Dou Practitioner transform into a Dou King overnight!

BOOM!

The figure flew in at high speed and landed amidst the crowd.

"This lord! This is...?"

Jia Liebi did not recognize Xiao Lei at all; after all, Xiao Lei had disappeared immediately after becoming famous in Wutan City once!

"Get lost to the side! You can die later!"

Saying this, Xiao Lei calmly strode toward Liu Xi.

After his soul power probed and he saw Liu Xi earlier, Xiao Lei had understood everything.

"A first-grade alchemist, where did you get the nerve!"

Liu Xi was just about to retort and mock him back, but he caught sight of Xiao Lei's alchemist robes and the second-grade alchemist badge on his chest.

"A second-grade alchemist!"

Seeing Xiao Lei's murderous demeanor, especially since the other party's target was clearly himself, Liu Xi hurriedly shouted.

"Jia Liebi, save me quickly, or else just wait for my teacher's retaliation!"

Hearing this, Jia Liebi cursed him for a coward under his breath, but he still had to muster his Dou Qi.

Alchemists were all protective of their own; if Liu Xi's teacher found out that the latter had met with trouble at the Jia Lie clan, it wouldn't just be a matter for him, Jia Liebi, alone—the entire clan would suffer.

"Your Excellency Dou King, I think you must be..."

"Old dog Jia Lie, eat my fist!"

Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhan reacted immediately and hurriedly showed concern for Jia Liebi, fearing that the other party hadn't eaten and was hungry.

"Xiao Zhan! You—"

Before Jia Liebi could finish his sentence, Xiao Zhan had already rushed before him, his fists raining down like raindrops. Jia Liebi had no choice but to respond with all his might, no longer able to care about Liu Xi's safety.

"My teacher is Liu Pi, a third-grade alchemist. I implore you, senior, to spare me for the sake of my teacher!"

Although he said this, Liu Xi's feet did not stop for a moment; instead, he hurriedly tried to flee.

In his eyes, Xiao Lei was a Dou King and would never give face to his third-grade alchemist teacher.

The facts were naturally as he thought!

Xiao Lei raised his right hand toward Liu Xi, and then activated the Sucking Palm; the powerful suction force immediately halted Liu Xi's figure.

Xiao Lei was not in a hurry, but instead dragged the other party closer bit by bit, as if leading a death-row prisoner to the execution ground.

"Spare me, my lord! My lord, I am just a first-grade alchemist. I don't know how I offended you. If it was my teacher who provoked you, please go find my teacher!"

In Wutan City, Liu Xi really couldn't think of anyone worth a Dou King taking action, so he could only associate Xiao Lei with his teacher's enemies.

Xiao Lei remained unmoved, continuing to output Dou Qi, while turning his head to look at Xiao Yu, who was still shocked by Xiao Lei's imposing entrance.

"Was it this guy who harassed you earlier? Did he lay a hand on you? Whichever hand he used, I'll chop that hand off first!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu finally came back to her senses. She hurriedly put away the long whip in her hand and, like a child who had found a backer, crossed her arms over her chest and hummed softly.

"The right hand. He pointed at me with his right hand just now, and also, this person has been staring at me lecherously the whole time!"

Watching Xiao Yu's act of complaining, Xiao Lei couldn't help but smile, then turned to look at Liu Xi again.

The other party was still struggling.

"I didn't point at her, I'm being wronged, my lord!"

Liu Xi finally realized who Xiao Lei was taking action for.

"You mean to say that if I want to beat you, I need to find a reason to frame you? Are you worthy!"

Xiao Lei smiled disdainfully, which caused Liu Xi's heart to sink to the bottom.

"Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er let you live until tonight because they have concerns, but I don't!"

Thinking this, Xiao Lei stopped torturing Liu Xi, grabbed him by the hand, and then thrust his left-hand fingers quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly into Liu Xi's eyes.

"Ah—!"

Following a sky-piercing scream, two holes appeared in Liu Xi's eyes, and blood flowed out incessantly.

After finishing all this, Xiao Lei tossed the Liu Xi in his hand onto the ground casually.

Of course, this was not him showing mercy; he had long since channeled Poison Vine Fire through his eyes into Liu Xi's body. The latter was not far from death, so he might as well let him crawl on the ground like a dying dog for a while.

"You! Just you wait! My master will never let you off! You..."

Having lost all his means, Liu Xi could only curse with his mouth, his words sounding like the wailing of a broken-backed dog.

Liu Xi's voice lasted only a short time before he could no longer speak.

Emerald-green flames ignited upon his body, and Liu Xi was instantly consumed, turning into a ball of fire.

"This!"

Xiao Yu was so shocked by the scene before her that she could not speak. Xiao Lei's ruthlessness exceeded her expectations; after all, in her daily interactions with him, she had always felt Xiao Lei was extremely kind.

However, deep down, she felt nothing but satisfaction. It served Liu Xi right for daring to spout such filth at her earlier.

"Teacher, can you tell what his cultivation level is? Could he really be a Dou King? But at the Coming-of-Age Ceremony a few months ago, he was only a four-star Dou Practitioner! And that flame from just now, what was that?"

Xiao Yan asked Yao Lao in his heart. Although he was surprised that Xiao Lei, who had never shown off in the past, had killed Liu Xi so casually, he was more concerned with Xiao Lei's strength.

After a long while, Yao Lao's voice finally reached Xiao Yan's ears.

"He has not yet reached the Dou King realm. As for those wings, they should be some kind of extremely rare flight Dou Technique. Hmm, he truly has great fortune!"

"Is that so! I thought as much; how could anyone possibly become a Dou King in just a few months!"

Xiao Yan shook his head, suddenly feeling that his previous guess was somewhat laughable.

"But he is likely at the Dou Ling realm now. As for that flame, it should be a type of Beast Fire!"

Yao Lao's calm words fell into Xiao Yan's ears like a mountain collapsing or a tsunami crashing.

"What! Dou Ling! How is this possible? I have never heard of anyone being able to cultivate to the Dou Ling realm in such a short time. If such a method truly existed, Teacher, you wouldn't have just watched me cultivate at this snail's pace!"

Xiao Yan found it completely unacceptable. Since witnessing Xiao Lei's talent at the Coming-of-Age Ceremony, he had worked hard for so long just to reach the four-star Dou Practitioner realm, thinking he might finally be catching up to Xiao Lei. As it turned out, Xiao Lei was already a Dou Ling.

Then what had all his hard work amounted to?

"The Dou Qi Continent is vast and boundless, with countless strange people and events. Nothing is impossible. As far as I know, certain pills that overdraw one's life force and some special constitutions can achieve this, though I do not know what his situation is..."

"If you have the chance, you can try to make contact with this person. If he did not reach the Dou Ling realm by exhausting his life force, it proves he may possess some extremely powerful bloodline or constitution. This person will surely become a powerhouse in the future; befriending him will only benefit us!"

"I understand, Teacher. But how should we befriend him? After all, he has even severed ties with the clan."

Xiao Yan did not resist the idea of befriending Xiao Lei as suggested by Yao Lao. On the Dou Qi Continent, where the strong were respected, befriending the powerful was the most natural thing in the world.

"Rest assured, as long as one is human, one has needs and desires. You don't need to worry about this; this master knows what he wants!"

Yao Lao's words were extremely confident, and Xiao Yan did not dwell on it further.

At this moment, Xiao Lei was already heading toward the battlefield between Xiao Zhan and Jia Liebi...
