Listening to the black giant’s words, Li Xiaotian did not answer him directly, but instead looked at Qinglin.
At this moment, Qinglin’s murderous intent was boiling, completely different from her previous appearance. The energy around her body fluctuated violently, and she was ready to attack the black-clothed giant at any moment.
"You want revenge on the Black-Clothed Alliance, but they have four overlords. Do you think your current strength is enough? So, your promise to return my life after getting revenge is just nonsense, or, you just want an excuse to survive, and you never took your promise to heart."
Li Xiaotian said to Qinglin unhurriedly, his tone laced with mockery.
This black-clothed giant was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Black-Clothed Alliance, a late-stage overlord. This meant that the other three Heavenly Kings were as strong as him, or even stronger.
For Qinglin, an early-stage overlord, to deal with the Black-Clothed Alliance, which was guarded by four overlords, seemed rather overestimating herself.
"I have my own ways to deal with them! Originally, my plan was not to encounter a Heavenly King of the Black-Clothed Alliance so soon!"
Qinglin said with a cold face and a hint of resentment in her tone. According to her plan, she would kill the people of the Black-Clothed Alliance and then retreat, proceeding cautiously.
However, due to Li Xiaotian's appearance, she had lost her chance to escape, leading to the arrival of a Heavenly King of the Black-Clothed Alliance.
"I don't have the leisure to wait that long. By the time you get your revenge, it might be decades later."
Li Xiaotian sneered and continued speaking.
"How about I help you kill him, and in exchange, you answer my question."
"I apologize! I cannot say. Those from the Black-Clothed Alliance must die! You don't need to make a move against him; I can kill him!"
Qinglin refused without a second thought, absolutely unwilling to reveal information about the ancient divine department to Li Xiaotian. Then, filled with killing intent, she looked at the black-clothed giant.
"Presumptuous!!! Do you think this Heavenly King doesn't exist? You're discussing killing me right in front of me. Who gave you the confidence?! Arrogant!!!"
At this moment, the black-clothed giant roared, his murderous aura surging. He was a late-stage overlord, a Heavenly King of the Black-Clothed Alliance.
But who would have thought that these two in front of him were discussing killing him right in front of him? This was an insult! A provocation!
Boom!
As soon as the words fell, the black-clothed giant's aura surged rapidly. He could no longer tolerate such an insult!
He grabbed the lightning that filled the sky with one hand and threw it towards Qinglin. The terrifying ball of lightning writhed menacingly in the sky, destroying everything in its path.
Immediately after, the black giant took a step forward and threw a punch at Li Xiaotian.
He hadn't used his full strength with the previous punch, but this time was different. He wanted to make these two ignorant frogs in a well understand the terrifying consequences of provoking a top-tier expert.
Rumbling!!!
The giant fist blotted out the sun, shattering layers of space. Countless towering trees in the forest were instantly annihilated.
"The lightning power here is reduced by thirty percent! This lightning poses no threat to me!"
Facing the terrifying ball of lightning, Qinglin showed no fear. She forced out a mouthful of fresh blood, then formed hand seals, and ripples spread out.
The ball of lightning suddenly lost its previous momentum. Its form remained unchanged, but the threat it posed was greatly diminished.
Moreover, the space around the ball of lightning had been shattered by a terrifying force, creating spatial fragments. But now, its power was no longer sufficient to break through space.
Then, Qinglin actually took the initiative to step forward, entering the ball of lightning and being enveloped by dense lightning.
However, she was completely unharmed, bathed in endless lightning, as if the lightning had been summoned by her.
At the same time, Li Xiaotian, witnessing Qinglin's actions, couldn't help but feel admiration. To be honest, he felt a bit envious.
"Seeking death!!! You dare to be distracted at this moment! Damnable!!!"
The black-clothed giant roared. His fist was about to hit Li Xiaotian, but the person in front of him hadn't moved at all, making no attempt to resist or dodge. He was actually distracted, concerned about the woman.
This undoubtedly made him even more furious. To be ignored, to be treated with such disregard for his attack, was more infuriating to him than a direct insult.
"Die!!!"
The black-clothed giant roared, his fist only a meter away from Li Xiaotian. Even before the punch landed, the terrifying fist wind caused the ground around Li Xiaotian to crack, and space to distort.
"You insist on sending yourself to your death when I don't want to bother with you."
Li Xiaotian said calmly, a hint of annoyance in his voice. Then, he slowly raised his hand and grabbed the fist that was larger than his own body.
"Foolish!"
Seeing Li Xiaotian's action, the black-clothed giant burst into laughter, enraged. He had thought the opponent had some backing earlier, but now it seemed he was just an idiot.
To respond to his full-power strike in such a manner, wasn't this seeking death?
"Heh heh, it's a good end for a fool like you to die at this King's hands."
The black-clothed giant sneered, as if he had already seen his opponent's body explode from his punch.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, terrifying energy instantly engulfed Li Xiaotian. But at the same time, the black-clothed giant's expression froze.
Because he discovered that his opponent had indeed blocked his punch so casually, preventing it from advancing even an inch!
In the blink of an eye, Li Xiaotian's figure reappeared. He was still standing in his original spot, his right hand open and pressed against the black-clothed giant's fist, as if he were casually leaning against a wall to rest, his demeanor relaxed.
"This! This is impossible!!!"
The black-clothed giant exclaimed, his face filled with horror. He exerted force with both legs, trying to make his fist advance further.
But no matter how hard he tried, even if his feet gouged a groove in the ground, his fist still couldn't move forward.
The opponent's hand pressed against his fist felt like a mosquito bite, yet such a small gesture had managed to block his punch.
How could this be possible? This defied all logic!
"Damn it! Die for me!! I don't believe it!!!"
The black-clothed giant roared, his expression contorted with ferocity, and he continued to exert force, refusing to believe what he was seeing.
He was a late-stage overlord, his ancient divine body stretching for hundreds of feet. In the Savage Continent, he was at least partially invincible.
But now, his attack had been casually blocked by a single palm from someone. If the opponent had also transformed into his ancient divine body, he might have accepted the outcome.
But under these circumstances, he could not accept it. Why?!
"Have you run out of strength? If you have, then it's my turn to act."
At this moment, Li Xiaotian's head poked out from beside the black-clothed giant's fist. It was unavoidable, as the opponent's fist was too large, and he was currently in his ordinary human form.
"Presumptuous!!! You are arrogant!!!"
Seeing this, the black-clothed giant became even more enraged. To dare to taunt him during their fight? The opponent clearly didn't take him seriously.
Li Xiaotian ignored the black giant any further. Instead, he clenched his left fist, raised it, and threw a punch.
Instantly, the black-clothed giant's expression changed. It transformed into shock, then terror, then disbelief.
Only one thought remained in his mind.
This is impossible!
