22: Kill Liu Xi

Xiao Zhan and Gale Bi almost simultaneously sensed a powerful Aura and looked towards a spot in the sky.

A figure was seen rapidly approaching.

Looking closely, one could see a pair of broad purple wings on the person's back, accompanied by a giant blue eagle.

"A Dou Wang (Battle King) expert! Why would a Dou Wang come to Wutan City?"

Gale Bi exclaimed in shock, while Xiao Zhan frowned. This suspected Dou Wang expert seemed somewhat familiar!

After all, Xiao Zhan had been stared at for a whole hour during the coming-of-age ceremony, so it would be strange if he wasn't familiar with Xiao Lei.

But how much time had passed since then?

At most, only a few months, right? How did the four-star Dou Practitioner from back then transform into a Dou Wang?

Boom!

The figure flew in at extreme speed, landing among the crowd.

"Your Excellency! This is...?"

Gale Bi didn't recognize Xiao Lei at all, as Xiao Lei had vanished immediately after gaining notoriety in Wutan City!

"You, get out of the way first! You can die later!"

Saying this, Xiao Lei calmly walked towards Liu Xi.

When he had seen Liu Xi after his Soul Strength investigation, Xiao Lei understood everything.

"A first-grade Alchemist, where did he get such audacity!"

Liu Xi was about to retort with a taunt, but then he saw Xiao Lei's alchemist robe and the second-grade alchemist badge on his chest.

"A second-grade Alchemist!"

Seeing Xiao Lei's murderous demeanor, especially since his target was clearly himself, Liu Xi immediately screamed.

"Gale Bi, save me quickly, or you'll Face my Master's revenge!"

Hearing this, Gale Bi cursed him as a coward under his breath, but still had no choice but to gather his Dou Qi.

Alchemists are fiercely protective of their disciples. If Liu Xi's Master learned that something happened to his disciple at the Jia Lie Family, it wouldn't just be Gale Bi's problem; the entire Family would suffer.

"Your Excellency, Dou Wang, I think you should be..."

"Jia Lie Old Dog, take this punch!"

Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhan immediately reacted, quickly showing concern for Gale Bi, afraid that he hadn't eaten and was hungry.

"Xiao Zhan! You—"

Before Gale Bi could finish his sentence, Xiao Zhan had already rushed forward, his fists raining down like a storm. Gale Bi could only respond with all his might, no longer able to worry about Liu Xi's safety.

"My Master is Liu Pi, a third-grade Alchemist. I implore Senior to spare me for my Master's Face!"

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

In his eyes, Xiao Lei was a Dou Wang, and would not give any Face to his third-grade Alchemist Master.

And indeed, that was the case!

Xiao Lei raised his right hand, aimed at Liu Xi, and then activated the Suction Palm, its powerful suction immediately stopping Liu Xi's movement.

Xiao Lei was not in a hurry; instead, he slowly dragged the opponent, gradually closing the distance, like a condemned prisoner being led to the execution ground.

"Your Excellency, spare my life! Your Excellency, I am just a first-grade Alchemist. I don't know how I offended you. If my Master angered you, please go find my Master!"

Liu Xi truly couldn't think of anyone in Wutan City who would be worth a Dou Wang's attention, so he could only assume Xiao Lei was his Master's enemy.

Xiao Lei remained unmoved, continuing to output Dou Qi, while also turning his head to look at Xiao Yu, who was still stunned by Xiao Lei's powerful entrance just now.

"Was it this guy who was harassing you just now? Did he touch you? Which hand did he use? I'll cut off that hand first!"

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

"His right hand, he pointed at me with his right hand just now! Also, this person kept staring at me lewdly!"

Looking at Xiao Yu's complaining manner, Xiao Lei couldn't help but smile, then turned back to look at Liu Xi.

The other party was still struggling.

"I didn't point at her, it's a misunderstanding, Your Excellency!"

Liu Xi finally understood why Xiao Lei was attacking.

"You mean I need to find an excuse to frame you if I want to beat you? Are you worthy of that?!"

Xiao Lei sneered disdainfully, which made Liu Xi's heart sink to the bottom.

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

Thinking this, Xiao Lei stopped tormenting Liu Xi, grabbed him in his hand, and then quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly poked Liu Xi's eyes with two fingers of his left hand.

"Ah—!"

A piercing scream echoed as two hollows appeared in Liu Xi's eyes, blood continuously gushing out.

After doing all this, Xiao Lei casually threw Liu Xi, who was in his hand, onto the ground.

Of course, this wasn't him being merciful; he had already activated the Poison Vine Fire through the eyes and injected it into Liu Xi's body. The latter was not far from death, so he would let him crawl on the ground like a dead dog for a while.

"You! You wait! My Master will definitely not let you go! You..."

Liu Xi, having lost all means, could only curse verbally, but it was like the wail of a broken-backed dog.

Liu Xi's voice only lasted for a very short time, and then he could no longer speak.

Emerald green flames ignited on his body, and Liu Xi was instantly burned into a ball of fire.

"This!"

Xiao Yu was too stunned to speak by the scene before her. Xiao Lei's ruthlessness was beyond her expectation, as she usually felt Xiao Lei was extremely gentle when they interacted.

However, at this moment, her heart was filled only with exhilaration. It served Liu Xi right for daring to say such vulgar things to her just now.

"Master, can you tell what his Cultivation Realm is? Is he really a Dou Wang? But during the coming-of-age ceremony a few months ago, he was only a four-star Dou Practitioner! And that flame just now, what was that?"

Xiao Yan asked Yao Lao in his heart. Although he was somewhat surprised that Xiao Lei, who had previously not shown much prominence, so casually killed Liu Xi, he was more focused on Xiao Lei's strength.

After a long time, Yao Lao's voice appeared in Xiao Yan's ear.

"He hasn't reached Dou Wang yet. As for those wings, they should be a very rare type of flying Dou Technique. Hmm, truly good Luck!"

"Is that so! I thought so, how could anyone become a Dou Wang in just a few months!"

Xiao Yan shook his head, suddenly finding his previous guess somewhat amusing.

"But he is probably in the Dou Ling (Battle Spirit) Realm now. As for that flame, it should be a Beast Fire!"

Yao Lao's calm words fell into Xiao Yan's ears, but they were like a mountain roaring and a sea raging.

"What! A Dou Ling (Battle Spirit)! How is this possible? I've never heard of anyone being able to Cultivate to Dou Ling in such a short time. If there really was such a method, Master, you wouldn't have watched me Cultivate at such a snail's pace, would you!"

Xiao Yan was completely unable to accept it. After witnessing Xiao Lei's talent at the coming-of-age ceremony, he had worked hard to Cultivate for so long to finally reach the four-star Dou Practitioner Realm, thinking he could barely catch up to Xiao Lei. But it turned out Xiao Lei was already a Dou Ling (Battle Spirit).

What was all his hard work for then?

"The Fighting Qi Continent is vast and boundless, with countless extraordinary people and events; nothing is impossible. As far as I know, certain Medicinal Pills that overdraft life and some special Physiques can achieve this. It's just unknown what his situation is..."

"If you have the chance, you can try to get in touch with this person. If he is a Dou Ling (Battle Spirit) who didn't Breakthrough by consuming his life, it proves that he might possess a very powerful Bloodline or Physique. This person will surely become a strong expert in the future, and befriending him will only benefit us!"

"I understand, Master. But how should we befriend him, since he has even left the Family."

Xiao Yan was not at all resistant to Yao Lao's suggestion of befriending Xiao Lei. On the Fighting Qi Continent, the strong are respected, and befriending experts is a perfectly normal thing.

"Don't worry, as long as he is human, he will have needs, and he will have 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 didn't dwell on it.

Meanwhile, Xiao Lei had already headed towards the battle between Xiao Zhan and Gale Bi...
