Chapter 028: The Ancient Li Clan!

In the distance, two strange beasts tread through the air. Where they passed, the space was covered with densely packed cracks visible to the naked eye. Their vast might seemed to make even heaven and earth mere ornaments.

The golden beast in front was covered in golden scales, with two golden horns on its head that gleamed brightly. Its tail resembled a dragon's tail, burning like golden flames. A faint golden glow continuously rose into the air. This beast could tread through the air, showing its formidable power.

Standing on the back of the golden beast was a young man of twenty-one or twenty-two, dressed in white robes, very handsome. He exuded a startling sharp aura, like a sharp sword cutting through the air. Yet he gave off a feeling of arrogance.

Beside the golden beast was a snow-white beast with a single horn on its head, as crystalline as jade. Its entire body shimmered with a holy light, giving an exceptionally sacred feeling.

Sitting upright on the back of the unicorn beast was a girl of sixteen or seventeen. Her skin was delicate, like凝脂美玉. Beneath her willow-leaf brows, her autumn-water eyes held a hint of divine charm. She was indescribably beautiful, with a waist so slender it seemed a hand could encircle it. This girl was extremely noble, but gave a feeling of being unapproachable.

"Unicorn, Golden Flame Divine Beast—could they be the holy sons of the Li Clan?" The white-robed man gasped. These two beasts were immensely powerful; one of their feet could easily crush him into a meat patty.

"This is Li Xuan and Li Qingxue, holy son and holy daughter of the Li Clan, terrifyingly powerful!" The black-robed man's eyes showed shock. His gaze swept across the air repeatedly as he pondered what they were doing here.

The ancient families, passed down from antiquity, had deep foundations, no weaker than the Qingyang Empire. In the Eastern Continent, they were top-tier forces, no weaker than any super sect. Holy son-level figures could rival the princes of the Qingyang Empire.

The Li Clan was one of the stronger ancient families, with peerless experts guarding the clan.

"It's actually the two of them." The white-robed man's face changed greatly. Then his gaze shifted to the two beasts, and he said in a low voice, "Should we report to the Great Chief? Why would the Li Clan come to our territory?"

Suddenly, the young man sitting on the Golden Flame Divine Beast showed a hint of disdain on his face. His gaze instantly swept over the three examiners, like a peerless sword, with a sharp aura flowing in his eyes.

"Pfft..." The white-robed man's face suddenly flushed. After a few breaths, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning pale.

"Such a vicious heart!" The black-robed man was greatly alarmed. At the same time, a jade talisman appeared in his hand. As soon as it touched the air, it sent out a faint, barely noticeable ripple and vanished without a trace.

Everything Li Xuan did nearby was fully observed by the noble girl. When she saw the white-robed man spit blood, her fair face showed no change, as if it were only natural.

"Hmph, still daring to call for help? I'll kill you!" A chill flashed in Li Xuan's eyes. Suddenly, several soaring sword intents appeared above his head, piercing through countless spaces, with an icy coldness surging.

"Li Xuan, we have matters to attend to. There's no need to clash with these people. Just teach them a lesson." Li Qingxue parted her red lips slightly, smoothed a few strands of hair on her shoulder, and said indifferently.

Li Xuan paused briefly, then looked at Li Qingxue's graceful and slender figure. A flicker of heat flashed in his eyes, and he immediately put on a refined demeanor, smiling, "Alright, Qingxue, I'll listen to you and not bother with these lowly people."

Although they were from the same clan, marriage was not prohibited.

"Mm." Li Qingxue nodded slightly, ignoring Li Xuan's admiring look. She stood proudly like a lotus unstained by mud, as if overlooking all beings.

This aloof appearance only deepened the heat in Li Xuan's eyes. He stared blankly at her captivating eyes, his heart burning hotter, and a strong desire to possess her surged within him.

"Bang, bang..."

The two beasts tread through the air, drawing the gaze of everyone in Kuangyun City.

Horrified, they watched the space shatter. The two beasts trampled the void like gods, their aura overwhelming. A flicker of fervor appeared in the eyes of everyone in Kuangyun City.

"What kind of beasts are these, able to tread through the air?" An old man on the verge of death exclaimed in terror.

"Who knows? These two beasts are so mighty, they can rival War King experts."

Most people whispered, their eyes burning with excitement. The early ranks on the continent were: Blood Refining, Martial Artist, Mystic Passage, Rebirth, War King.

Beasts that could rival the War King realm were called spirit beasts. When a third-rank凶兽 advanced, it gained a trace of intelligence. Such spirit beasts had terrifying combat power; one stomp could destroy Kuangyun City.

"Roar!" The Golden Flame Divine Beast seemed displeased with the people watching below. Its two crossed golden horns emitted dazzling light. At the same time, a vast aura burst forth, and scorching waves of fire rose into the air, causing space to warp violently.

Endless pressure descended instantly, and a killing aura made everyone tremble with fear.

Yang Tian was recovering his blood energy when this killing aura shook his mind. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked around the void. When he saw the two beasts...

"Golden Flame Divine Beast, Unicorn, the ancient Li Clan!" A deep roar exploded in his heart. Yang Tian's face instantly turned grim, and a bone-chilling murderous intent seeped out.

"A mere barbaric land, yet you dare to covet my mount? You deserve death." With a cold laugh, Li Xuan patted the head of the Golden Flame Divine Beast.

"Roar, roar!..." The Golden Horn Divine Beast roared, shaking heaven and earth. Its domineering pressure spread, enough to stabilize mountains and shake the world!

"Thud, thud..." Countless people knelt, their bodies trembling, panic flashing in their eyes.

"Damn it." Sensing a force locking onto him, Yang Tian felt a surge of ferocity. Hatred flickered in his eyes, and a mad killing intent spread through his body.

"Who is this? So arrogant!" Taking a deep breath, Kuang Lang and Hua Die struggled to withstand the pressure. They exchanged glances, shock in their eyes.

"Bastard, too reckless, looking down on everyone. Is he worthy of being a member of an ancient family? He's a disgrace!" The black-robed man clenched his fists, a deep sense of helplessness rising. Li Xuan was arrogant and domineering, with exceptional talent, renowned across the Eastern Continent, and intolerant of any offense.

"Enough! Do you want to alarm the experts of the Qingyang Empire? Stop now!" Seeing Li Xuan's overbearing attitude, Li Qingxue frowned slightly and scolded him.

"Heh, just joking with them. Qingxue, don't be angry." With an awkward smile, Li Xuan quickly patted the Golden Flame Divine Beast, and the pressure in the air receded completely.

Just then, Li Xuan felt an uncomfortable sensation, as if someone was staring at him. He looked down and saw a ragged youth.

"Damn, I've been discovered." Yang Tian's heart shook, and an unprecedented crisis descended. He quickly turned to look at Lin Yuan, and a faint voice sounded: "Father, no matter what happens, don't make a sound. I'll handle it. Don't say anything."

"What's going on?" Seeing Yang Tian's serious expression, Lin Yuan's arms trembled slightly. He had never seen Yang Tian like this, which showed that even Yang Tian was unsure of handling what was to come.

"You, raise your head." A cold shout resounded through heaven and earth. Li Xuan sensed hostility from the youth, and his face darkened.

Seeing that Li Xuan's target was Yang Tian, the three examiners in the distance turned grim.

"Brother, think of something fast. Yang Tian can't be harmed, or our trip will be for nothing." The white-robed man said in a low voice, seeing Li Xuan fix on Yang Tian.

At just sixteen, in this barbaric land, he could kill a half-step Martial Artist. With such talent, if he later received the Qingyang Empire's perfect training system, he would surely become a great figure. The white-robed man couldn't bear to see Yang Tian fall.

"Don't panic. The Great Chief will arrive soon. We can't do anything, so let's wait and see." The black-robed man exhaled a few deep breaths and said solemnly.

Hearing this, Yang Tian took a deep breath and slowly raised his head.

A slightly immature face appeared in Li Xuan's eyes. A sense of familiarity arose. He thought for a moment, and his expression instantly became extremely interesting.

Compared to Li Xuan's expression, Li Qingxue's fair and moving face showed shock. Beneath that shock, a trace of subtle panic bloomed on her exquisite face.
