The battlefield was utterly silent, not a sound could be heard. Everyone stared at Li Xiaotian, who had just awakened, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
Li Xiaotian was still alive!
His opponent hadn't killed him!
At this moment, a chill crept into the hearts of the Xing Tian Tribe leader and others. Even with their strength, they had long forgotten what cold felt like, but now, they felt a bone-deep chill.
Li Xiaotian moved his body, looking at the many warriors of the Dragon King Hall kneeling before him. His eyes held surprise and joy.
But when he saw the injuries on their bodies, his expression instantly darkened.
"Boom!"
A terrifying killing intent shot straight into the sky, and an oppressive aura exploded across the heavens and earth.
At this moment, everyone present felt as if they were being stared down by a beast, their hearts filled with fear.
"Zhao Long, report the casualty situation!"
Li Xiaotian asked a kneeling warrior of the Dragon King Hall.
"My King!!"
Zhao Long's face lit up with excitement. He was just an ordinary warrior, yet the King knew his name.
"Reporting to my King, in this battle, our Hall had two hundred and thirty-seven combatants, one hundred and sixty-eight casualties, and sixty-six survivors!"
"We annihilated six Imperial-level martial artists and two Hegemons from the enemy!"
Zhao Long shouted loudly, his face flushed with fervor, and then added as a final remark.
"My King, we have disgraced you in this battle!"
"We beg for your forgiveness!"
"We beg for your forgiveness!!!"
On the battlefield, the warriors of the Dragon King Hall collectively roared, their voices shaking the heavens.
This scene, however, filled the surrounding onlookers with awe.
None of these Dragon King Hall members were Hegemons, yet they had killed two Hegemons. To these Hegemons, this was an impossibility.
Such a force was undoubtedly a seasoned army, kings of the battlefield!
Yet, who would have thought that with such an outstanding record, they would say they had disgraced Li Xiaotian.
This undoubtedly slapped all the present Hegemons in the face. In comparison, their own achievements were inferior to those of the Dragon King Hall members.
However, the Xing Tian Tribe leader and the others had even more grim expressions, as the deceased were all their people.
A group of ants had killed two of their Hegemons, and yet they claimed disgrace.
This was tantamount to rubbing their faces on the ground.
Simultaneously, they were filled with vigilance and unease. With so many people from the Dragon King Hall dead, Li Xiaotian would absolutely not let them off.
Thinking of this, the Xing Tian Tribe leader and the others exchanged glances, a retreat evident in their eyes.
Some Hegemons even began to quietly back away.
They were afraid.
Meanwhile, Li Xiaotian was filled with guilt, his teeth clenched tightly, his eyes burning crimson. One hundred and sixty-eight people, one hundred and sixty-eight lives!!
They had sacrificed their lives just like that, his heart ached! He hated!
He hated himself for awakening too late.
"You have not disgraced me, not at all. Every one of you is a hero!"
Li Xiaotian murmured, then slowly raised his head, looking at the Xing Tian Tribe leader and the others, his killing intent unconcealed.
"Were my fallen brothers killed by you?"
Li Xiaotian asked, suppressing his killing intent.
"Cough, cough, Li Xiaotian, this is a misunderstanding. We can compensate you."
The Xing Tian Tribe leader coughed and said, feeling a hint of annoyance that he had to be so subservient to Li Xiaotian.
"Shut up! I'm asking if you killed my brothers?!?"
Li Xiaotian roared, his terrifying killing intent bearing down on the Xing Tian Tribe leader and the others.
"Roar, Li Xiaotian, it was them who killed them. They wanted to dismember your body. I was carrying you to escape when they obstructed us. Your people intervened to help me, and they were massacred."
The Dragon Horse growled, its eyes filled with ferocity.
"Good! Good!"
Li Xiaotian nodded, then looked at the Dragon King Hall members and said.
"Exchanging two Hegemons for the lives of those brothers is too foolish. You were too stupid, you shouldn't have come to die."
"My King, we have no regrets!!!"
The Dragon King Hall members responded.
"No regrets! Well said, 'no regrets'! Very well, you watch from here, and I, your King, will avenge you and slay all enemies for our fallen brothers!"
Li Xiaotian smiled bitterly, then his eyes instantly turned pitch black, and his terrifying aura began to surge rapidly.
"Li Xiaotian, what do you intend to do? Your injuries have not healed yet. Do you truly intend to make an enemy of us for these ants? I told you, we can compensate you."
The Xing Tian Tribe leader said in a deep voice, somewhat angered. To slaughter them? To avenge those ants?
This was an insult to them!!!
"Shut up!! Did I give you permission to speak? If I want to kill you, what right do you have to negotiate with me?"
Li Xiaotian bellowed, and then his body erupted with a surge of sword intent.
He was indeed heavily injured, but he could still fight. A Demonic Sword was enough!
"Boom!"
A terrifying sword aura instantly engulfed the Xing Tian Tribe leader and the others.
"Top-grade Heavenly Soldier!!!"
The Xing Tian Tribe leader exclaimed, but then his eyes widened in horror. He hadn't expected Li Xiaotian to possess a top-grade Heavenly Soldier, let alone that Li Xiaotian would attack without a word.
"Everyone, combine your strength to resist!!!"
The Xing Tian Tribe leader shouted, his expression solemn. He couldn't withstand the power of a top-grade Heavenly Soldier.
"Rumbling!!!"
In an instant, sword energy crisscrossed through the crowd, followed by screams. Three Human Hegemons perished on the spot, and several others were injured.
But this was just the beginning. Li Xiaotian, holding his Demonic Sword, pressed his attack.
The Demonic Sword let out an excited hum, its sword aura overflowing.
"No!!! Li Xiaotian, spare me!!!"
The Undead Great Shaman shouted, his eyes filled with terror, but the next moment, he was engulfed by the terrifying sword energy.
He was dead!
Immediately after, the leader of the Western Alliance perished!
The Great Shaman of the Xing Tian Tribe perished!
No one could survive the attack of the Demonic Sword.
On the battlefield, dismembered limbs flew, and blood dyed the earth red.
Who would have imagined that the Hegemons, who were usually aloof and powerful, would be slaughtered like ants at this moment?
Screams continued to erupt. Some Hegemons, filled with fear, immediately turned to flee, but after a flash of sword energy, they perished on the spot.
Behind them, the many Hegemons of the Demon race stared in stunned silence. They had fought desperately, yet only managed to kill a few enemies?
Moreover, their own powerful individuals, the Empress and the chief of the God Devouring clan, had been ambushed and severely wounded. If Li Xiaotian hadn't awakened, they might have all perished today.
Yet, who would have thought that with Li Xiaotian's awakening, one person could slaughter their enemies to the point of them being unable to resist.
They had initially intended to assist Li Xiaotian, but seeing the situation, the enemies would be dead before they could even act.
The Dragon King Hall members beside them also roared continuously, their excitement palpable.
At this moment, the Demon race Hegemons present felt a pang of envy for these individuals.
With a leader like Li Xiaotian and brotherhood as strong as iron, who wouldn't envy them?
The Empress Tian Xiang's beautiful eyes flickered, her gaze filled with intense passion.
She was incredibly fortunate that her gamble had paid off, and Li Xiaotian's power captivated her, stirring feelings of love and admiration.
In a blink of an eye, only the Xing Tian Tribe leader remained on the field, his body mangled, his face etched with despair and terror.
"Li Xiaotian!! You cannot kill me! If you kill me, the Xing Tian Tribe will not spare you!!"
"Hum!"
A flash of sword energy streaked across, and the Xing Tian Tribe leader was dead!
Li Xiaotian was too lazy to even respond.
He killed them, and he had too many enemies to bother with the Xing Tian Tribe.
"Our King is mighty!!! Our King is mighty!!!"
The Dragon King Hall warriors cheered collectively.
They knew that as soon as Li Xiaotian awakened, all enemies would perish.
"Hum!"
Li Xiaotian waved his hand, recalling the Dragon King Hall and the Heavenly Tablet, and simultaneously collected Gu Qiankun and all the corpses on the battlefield into the Dragon King Hall.
These were all Hegemon corpses. Besides extracting the Ancient God's Blood, these corpses also held significant value and could not be wasted.
From a distance, the chief of the God Devouring clan smiled awkwardly and tossed out the high-grade Heavenly Blade.
Li Xiaotian accepted the Heavenly Blade and then approached the demons, saying.
"Thank you all."
"Haha, you are most welcome. My God Devouring clan is allied with you, so it's only right that we assist."
The chief of the God Devouring clan said with a smile.
"The Dragon Horse is a Hegemon of our Royal Court. Its affairs are our Royal Court's affairs."
Tian Xiang said, her eyes fixed on Li Xiaotian, her intentions evident to anyone with eyes.
"Roar! Li Xiaotian, you are too amazing!! You killed over a dozen Hegemons in one battle, incredible!!"
The Dragon Horse trotted over, its voice filled with excitement. It was thoroughly impressed with Li Xiaotian.
Li Xiaotian smiled, then looked at the Dragon King Hall members and asked.
"Did something happen in Da Qin?"
He had been trapped for too long. In this period, many major events must have occurred without a doubt.
Otherwise, the Dragon King Hall would not have reunited, nor would they have sought him out.
