"Discovered?" Xiao Long gnced outside the cave.

  As far as he khe Bck Spine Snake was sidered a delicacy among the lower csses, especially the young ones, whose tender meat could fetch a huaels of silver each when sold to hotels.

  Their demon cores, however, were worth five huaels apiece! Selling them to sects could even earn tribution points, making them quite valuable.

  Boom!

  After a loud crash, dust filled the air as the cave colpsed, allowing sunlight to pour in. Two brothers beside him were shtehey scattered in all dires until Xiao Long ordered them to calm down.

  Outside, a burly man with a thied a lean, monkey-like youth with sinister eyes were drooling as they stared at them. The two wore crimson robes adorned with fire cloud patterns, suggesting they were from a minor sect.

  Behind them y the massive corpse of a bake. Seeing the cold body, a surge of inexplicable grief and anger welled up in Xiao Long's heart.

  The two brothers beside him also gazed red-eyed at the se ahead. Xiao Long immediately uood that the giant Bck Spine Snake was their mother.

  To be ho, whether a snake lived or died had nothing to do with Xiao Long, but having been reborn in this body, he ied its bloodline aions. Seeing their mother killed by humans, an untrolble rage rose within him!

  He wahese two dead!

  "Today’s luck is good, sughtered a third-tier Bck Spine Snake and caught a of little ones!"

  "Yeah, the little ones be killed and stewed, the big one be carried back for sale, worth quite a bit."

  The two ughed heartily, already senteng Xiao Long and the others to death.

  Hiss!

  The two brothers charged first, but before they got close, the burly mahem flying with a burst of red energy, crashing into the stone wall and leaving them dazed and fused.

  "Haha! Two first-tier demos trying to resist, truly c death!"

  "Beasts are beasts, don’t know their own strength." The two ughed heartily.

  "Bastards! C death!" Witnessing the se, Xiao Long's eyes nearly burst, veins ready to explode.

  Perhaps influenced by the emotions of the demos, Xiao Lo even ahan when he was ambushed by the Red Lotus Martial Emperor!

  Without hesitation, Xiao Long coiled and sprang like a rubber band, shooting out with the speed of an arrow. Before the two could react, a bck shadow fshed before their eyes.

  "What?!" The two were shocked.

  Smack! Smack!!

  With two crisp sounds, Xiao Long's tail whipped fiercely across the monkey-like youth's face, then rebouo strike the burly man as well.

  In an instant, two red welts appeared on their faces, burning with pain.

  "Beast, seekih!"

  After being spped, the two were both shocked and angry, simultaneously drawing the swords from their waists, ready to hack Xiao Long to pieces.

  Xiao Long, less than three days old and tempered by the Azure Dragon Tome, was only half a meter long. As the two sshed at him, Xiao Long dodged like a loa water, slipping right uhe monkey youth's pants.

  "Ahhh! It went into my pants!" The monkey youth screamed in terror, stomping his feet to shake Xiao Long out.

  Xiao Long, ed by rage, slithered upward and bit him without hesitation.

  "Ahhhhh!"

  The monkey youth let out a pig-like scream, his crotstantly turning blood-red. He clutched his crotd fell to the ground, curling up like a shrimp.

  Xiao Long then climbed to his ned bit it off, causing the monkey youth to die instantly.

  "Monkey! Wake up!" The burly man shook him twice, only to see bubbles gurgling from his throat, eyes rolled back, dead as could be.

  "Ah! Beast! I’ll kill you!"

  The burly man roared in anger, wielding his longsword, his wrist trembling as fiery spiritual qi erupted, c Xiao Long with a shower of sword light.

  "Star Point Sword Teique!"

  Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish...

  tless sword flowers shot out, turning the ground into a beehive. However, Xiao Long seemed to have predicted the sword's trajectory, weaving through the sword light without being hit once.

  With his keen eyes, Xiao Long saw this trashy martial art as nothing more than child's py.

  The burly man was beyond shocked, his mouth agape, eyes wide as he shouted, "Monster! Monster!"

  "Ahhh!" The burly man turo flee, but Xiao Long fshed forward, mimig a move from a true dragon's battle teique, "Divine Dragon Tail Whip," striking the man's legs.

  With a "crack," the burly man's leg bones shattered, and he fell ft on his back. In the moment, Xiao Long bit through his neck.

  Even ih, the ma muttering "monster," making Xiao Long sneer in disdain.

  Truth be told, these two were both at the third level of the Body Refining Realm, equivalent to third-tier demos. With his Star Point Sword Teique, ordinary third-tier demos were no match for him, yet they were killed by Xiao Long, a mere first-tier demo at the bottom of the food . They probably died with regrets.

  Human cultivation levels, from low to high, are divided into: Body Refining Realm, Qi densing Realm, Ihree Stages, Emperor Realm, Sn Realm, Saint Realm, Martial Emperor.

  These seven major realms correspond to demo levels: Demo, Demon General, Demon King, Demon Monarch, Demon Sn, Demon Saint, Demon Emperor.

  Each major realm is divided into ten minor levels. Human divisions are more plex, while demos range from first to tenth tier, simple and straightforward, deeply ingrained in the heart.

  The advantage of demos lies in their powerful physical bodies, but their fw is equally obvious: their prehension is far inferior to humans. Usually, human geniuses defeat demos across levels, with no cases of demos defeating humans across levels. Of course, Xiao Long is an exception, no wohe man was scared half to death.

  ["You have killed a level 3 wild monster, gaining 150 experience points! (50% bonus for challenging higher levels)"]

  ["You have killed a level 3 wild monster, gaining 150 experience points! (50% bonus for challenging higher levels)"]

  ["Ding! gratutions, you have successfully leveled up to level 2! Would you like to activate the Stro Demo System?"]

  After killing the two humans, Xiao Long was about to che his brothers when strange voices suddenly echoed in his mind.

  Immediately, two buttons appeared in Xiao Long's mind: "Yes" and "No."

  Xiao Long was stunned for about five seds, then roared in anger, "Who the hell is messing around in my body, show yourself to this emperor!"

  ["Would you like to activate the Stro Demo System?"]

  "Get lost! What kind of bullshit system, I don't uand, speak human nguage!" Xiao Long cursed angrily.

  The sudden voi his mi Xiao Long both shocked and angry. Being reborn as a snake was bad enough, but now there seemed to be something strange mixed into the snake's mind.

  ["The system will automatically choose for you in ten seds."]

  ["Ten, ni..."]

  Uo bear it, Xiao Long shouted, "No, no! I choose NO!"
