With an earth-shaking boom!!, the enormous stone fist slammed into the red dragon cultivator, instantly shattering his protective barrier and blasting him skyward. His armor caved in under the impact, countless streaks of red light scattered in every direction, and his entire body went flying...
"Aaargh!"
"Pfft!" The red dragon cultivator screamed and spewed dragon blood everywhere, staining the sky crimson... Only one thought remained in his mind. What was happening? There was another Mighty One Stage cultivator?!
But that was also his final thought...
Then!
"Rumble!!!" The enormous fist that had sent the red dragon cultivator flying surged skyward amid violent tremors. Suddenly, its fingers spread like an unfurling net, instantly enveloping him...
Suddenly!
With an earth-shaking boom!!, the red-lit hand clenched fiercely, catching the red dragon cultivator in its grip. Orange light erupted, and blood and flesh sprayed everywhere. The red dragon cultivator, along with his nascent soul and primordial spirit, was crushed to pieces...
Meanwhile!
Of the cultivators fleeing in the other three directions, Li Xiaoya's main body personally killed two. The last met the same fate as the red dragon cultivator leading them: a single blow from the enormous stone fist smashed him to pieces, leaving not even bones behind...
Naturally, Li Xiaoya had planned all of this long beforehand...
In fact.
Li Xiaoya had arrived a little earlier than these dragon cultivators. Though they had done everything they could to conceal and disguise themselves, how could they escape his divine sense and keen eyes? He had soon located them...
These dragon cultivators were cunning fellows, too. First, they had sent someone out alone to investigate the situation. When they attacked, they had even taken on the appearance of human cultivators, while leaving others in ambush, ready to provide support or report back at any moment...
