“What in the blazes is this? Boy, are you trying to pull a fast one on me by pretending I haven’t seen the world?”
As Li Xiaotian arrived, the Demon Lord’s roar echoed in his mind, filled with disbelief.
“This is clearly a demonic beast! And a hybrid at that, I don’t know what breed!”
The Demon Lord added again.
At this moment, Li Xiaotian was also stunned and had no time to respond to the Demon Lord. If he hadn’t seen a Dragon Horse before, he would have thought the same as the Demon Lord.
Before him was a black creature, constantly rumbling, darting around everywhere, and letting out occasional cries of surprise.
Indeed, it was a Dragon Horse! It was just that it had been shining with golden light before, and now it was pitch black. Although its appearance hadn’t changed, it had turned black.
“Roar!!! Human, you’ve come at the right time. What kind of cursed place is this? What are you planning by tricking me into coming here?”
The Dragon Horse felt extremely uncomfortable all over, as if being gnawed by a thousand insects, with black wisps emanating from its body.
It had been constantly devouring the energy of this place, and as it did, it had become like this.
When it saw Li Xiaotian appear before it, it immediately became furious. It kicked out with its hoof, believing that its current state was all caused by this human before him.
But who would have thought that as the Dragon Horse lunged forward, imagining it would stomp the detestable human under its hoof, the human before it casually raised his hand to block.
“Bang!”
Instantly, the Dragon Horse felt as if it had stepped on an incredibly hard stone, its hooves unable to advance even an inch. A terrifying power then directly rebounded from Li Xiaotian’s arm.
“Roar!!!”
The Dragon Horse let out a pained cry, its expression as if it had seen a ghost, and was sent flying backward.
“Damn it!! What’s going on?? Why has your strength increased so much?”
The Dragon Horse roared, its eyes filled with disbelief. It had seen Li Xiaotian’s strength before. Although it wasn’t a Hegemon-level beast, it couldn’t have been so easy for the opponent to deal with its kick, let alone injure it in return.
Li Xiaotian clenched his fist, feeling a surge of excitement. His Golden Body was even stronger than he had imagined. The Dragon Horse’s previous attacks felt like tickles.
“What’s wrong with you? Why have you turned black?”
Li Xiaotian asked, filled with curiosity.
“Roar! You scoundrel! I am cultivating a divine technique, this isn’t black, it’s the highest form of gold!”
The Dragon Horse roared and lunged again, emitting a dragon’s roar. A giant black dragon’s head instantly appeared in the void, lunging to devour Li Xiaotian.
Buzz!
Seeing this, a hint of mockery flashed in Li Xiaotian’s eyes. His body flashed with golden light, and he unleashed a punch.
“Roar!!!”
The Dragon Horse let out a scream of agony. The summoned dragon’s head instantly shattered into pieces. At the same time, its body flew out like a kite with a broken string, and several of its bones were broken.
“How is this possible?!!!”
The Dragon Horse’s eyes were filled with shock. Its full-power attack had still been easily neutralized by the human before it.
“Golden Body!!!”
Suddenly, it thought of the golden light that had flashed on Li Xiaotian’s body earlier, and its eyes widened in disbelief.
“You are a Golden Body expert!!! No, you forged a Golden Body here!!”
The Dragon Horse shouted, its heart filled with immense shock. It knew that this human hadn’t been a Golden Body expert outside.
Thinking of this, the Dragon Horse lunged forward again, opening its massive mouth to swallow Li Xiaotian.
Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Li Xiaotian’s eyes. His fist flashed with golden light, and he spoke.
“If you wish to die, then I shall oblige!”
Upon hearing Li Xiaotian’s words, the Dragon Horse stopped abruptly, standing not far away and staring at Li Xiaotian with a look of bewilderment.
This time, it saw clearly. It was indeed a Golden Body!
This human before him had forged a Golden Body here! How was this possible? How had he managed to do it?!!
“Tell me, what’s going on with you? Are you not a Dragon Horse at all?”
Li Xiaotian asked.
“Nonsense! I am a Dragon Horse! Unique in all of heaven and earth!!!”
The Dragon Horse’s eyes blazed with anger upon hearing this. Just as it was about to unleash its fury, it saw Li Xiaotian flex his fist and immediately backed down.
“You tell me first, are you a Golden Body? How did you achieve it?”
The Dragon Horse asked, racking its brain and unable to comprehend how one could forge a Golden Body in such a short time. It was simply impossible.
“Yes, it’s a Golden Body. As for how I achieved it, it was by chance.”
Li Xiaotian said unhurriedly. Then, with a thought, his entire body flashed with golden light, the dazzling golden light pushing back the surrounding darkness.
“It really is a Golden Body!!!”
The Dragon Horse’s eyes narrowed sharply, its face blank with shock. It was truly a Golden Body! An invincible Golden Body physique!
“Roar!”
Thinking of this, the Dragon Horse let out a surprised cry and attacked with lightning speed, instantly appearing before Li Xiaotian. Then, it opened its mouth and bit down on Li Xiaotian’s arm.
“CRUNCH!!!”
Sparks flew. The Dragon Horse let out a scream of pain, several of its dragon teeth breaking off in its mouth.
At this moment, Li Xiaotian had also recovered his senses, his heart filled with alarm. The Dragon Horse’s speed earlier was too fast, so much so that he hadn’t even had time to react.
“You are courting death!”
Li Xiaotian’s expression turned grim, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes. If it weren’t for his Golden Body, his arm would have been gone in that instant.
The Dragon Horse’s heart immediately turned cold. It moved with extreme speed, instantly creating distance between itself and Li Xiaotian, then quickly spoke.
“Human, don’t misunderstand. I was merely testing if your Golden Body was real.”
After speaking, the Dragon Horse slurped its lips, filled with regret. It had acted impulsively earlier, and several of its dragon teeth had broken off, now causing it severe pain.
“Tsk tsk, this is indeed a Dragon Horse, boy. Take it in. If it refuses, then slay it!”
The Demon Lord said. He had recognized the Dragon Horse’s identity when it unleashed its speed earlier.
Li Xiaotian ignored the Demon Lord, but the Dragon Horse was now filled with terror, its dragon scales standing on end as it stared intently at Li Xiaotian.
“What was that just now?? Human, what are you hiding within your body? It means me harm!”
The Dragon Horse growled, in a defensive stance.
“Eh? This beast can sense me?”
The Demon Lord exclaimed in surprise. Li Xiaotian also looked surprised and then turned to the Dragon Horse, saying.
“You can detect the anomaly within me?”
“Of course! I am a Dragon Horse, an exotic beast of heaven and earth. My spiritual senses are exceptionally keen. I can detect any ill intentions towards me! Human, you have a great evil hidden within your body, and it harbors malicious intent towards me!”
The Dragon Horse spoke, its expression arrogant. Being unique in all of heaven and earth was not just a mere claim. It felt two intentions from the human before it: one filled with immense malice and power towards it, and another that was also not benevolent, wanting to ride it.
Clearly, the one wanting to ride it was the human before him. But this was not malice, after all, many wanted to ride it, its noble bloodline made everyone desire it as a mount.
This was why it hadn’t fled immediately. If the human before it also harbored malice, it wouldn’t have stayed here now.
“Boy, this beast cannot be kept. Kill it. Eating it is safer than subduing it.”
The Demon Lord spoke, his tone wary. He had been hidden within Li Xiaotian’s body and had never been discovered before. He never expected that a foolish horse, not even a Hegemon, could so easily detect his presence.
“Roar!!! Here it comes again!!! Human! It wants to eat me! Damn it! I am a Dragon Horse! No matter what existence it is, they always think of subduing me, not eating me!”
The Dragon Horse roared, somewhat fearful, slowly retreating. As soon as the human before it harbored any ill intent, it prepared to flee.
