In various places of Yanzhou, many people felt a bead of sweat trickle down their backs as they watched Li Xiaotian heavily injured.
The opponent was too strong. Even though Li Xiaotian had improved rapidly and his strength reached the intermediate Heavenly level after devouring the Wuyun Old Ancestor, he was powerless to change the situation.
"It's time to end this!"
Huang Mang's face was icy cold.
Ten people sealed off the surroundings, encircling Li Xiaotian.
At this moment, Li Xiaotian's aura was less than half of what it was before. Not to mention the combined efforts of ten people, he might not be able to withstand a full-power strike from any single Heavenly level expert.
"Die!"
Everyone attacked again.
This time, barring any accidents, Li Xiaotian was certain to die!
"Come out!"
Just then, Li Xiaotian let out a sudden roar, and a beam of light he flung from his hand instantly landed on the Shenzong Old Ancestor.
In the blink of an eye, Shenzong Old Ancestor was enveloped by a mass of illusory gas.
"What is this? Damned!"
Shenzong Old Ancestor roared, feeling his body begin to disobey his commands.
"Come out!"
Li Xiaotian roared again, throwing a golden talisman towards Huang Mang and another Desolate Hall expert.
"Buzz!"
Instantly, the talisman burned, and the two were engulfed in a sea of lightning.
"Hmph! A Golden Talisman from the Dao Sect, a full-power strike from a Heavenly level expert. Li Xiaotian, is this your trump card?"
Huang Mang coldly snorted, dealing with the sea of lightning with his companion.
In the blink of an eye, three Heavenly level experts were entangled by Li Xiaotian's trump cards.
One was the full-power strike of a Shishen Clan Heavenly level expert, capable of taking over the target's body; the other was a Golden Talisman from the Dao Sect, setting up a lightning sea formation to trap the two.
However, this only temporarily trapped Huang Mang and the other two. They were all Heavenly level experts, and facing such methods, they could at most be held for a few moments.
"Go!"
Li Xiaotian did not stop, throwing out his trump cards one after another.
A full moon enveloped three opponents, a small sword erupted with ten thousand feet of sword energy, locking onto one person, and a golden Buddha statue trapped two others.
These were all preparations Li Xiaotian had made in recent days.
They were trump cards borrowed from the Deshen Clan, the Buddha Prefecture of the Dao Sect, and others.
However, each could only be used once.
Simultaneously trapping nine people, only one remained.
Huo Tongzi!
A murderous glint flashed in Li Xiaotian's eyes. He instantly charged towards Huo Tongzi, his long saber growing several times in size, terrifying killing intent permeating the entire world.
"Save me!"
Huo Tongzi shouted, his face filled with terror.
"Damned!"
"How dare you!"
Huang Mang and the others roared in anger, channeling all their strength to break free from the various means holding them, trying to rescue.
But Li Xiaotian had foreseen everything. He only needed a moment, an opportunity to strike, and he could kill one person.
Originally, his target was Jin Lian, but he lacked confidence, so he could only choose Huo Tongzi.
"Die!"
Li Xiaotian roared, his long saber slashing down.
"Buzz!"
At this very moment, a terrifying majesty descended. Li Xiaotian felt his entire body explode, as if he were on the verge of death.
"Scram!"
Li Xiaotian roared.
The Master of the Desolate Hall had made his move.
As expected, with that person present, no matter how much effort he put in, no matter how many opportunities he seized to strike, he could not succeed.
A hint of unwillingness flashed across Li Xiaotian's face. Was there truly no chance at all?
"Old man, you dare to bully my Yue Family's son-in-law? You have quite the nerve!"
Just then, the sky instantly darkened, a bright moon appeared in the sky, and a seductive figure descended from it.
At the same time, the oppressive force enveloping Li Xiaotian instantly dissipated.
"Kill!"
Li Xiaotian's heart rejoiced upon seeing this and he slashed his saber at Huo Tongzi.
"No!!!"
Huo Tongzi shouted, his voice filled with unwillingness and fear.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, Huo Tongzi exploded.
All of this happened in an instant, from the Master of the Desolate Hall making his move, to Yue Zunzhě descending, and Huo Tongzi being killed.
This series of changes occurred in mere moments.
By the time everyone reacted, Huo Tongzi was already dead.
For a moment, the entire world fell silent.
No one had expected that in such a difficult situation, Li Xiaotian would manage to kill an opponent.
Furthermore, Yue Zunzhě's intervention surprised everyone.
"Presumptuous!"
Instantly, the Master of the Desolate Hall and the others were enraged.
A terrifying figure directly emerged from the Desolate Hall, and the entire world seemed to tremble.
"Yue Zunzhě, what are you doing? Does the Ancient Village wish to be annihilated?"
The Master of the Desolate Hall was furious.
"A group of them shamelessly bullied my Yue Family's son-in-law, and I tolerated it. But you, you shameless old man, dare to bully him as well? Do you think my Yue Family has no one?"
Yue Zunzhě's tone was icy cold as he stood opposite the Master of the Desolate Hall.
"Hmph! Kill him!"
The Master of the Desolate Hall snorted coldly, instantly dispelling all of Li Xiaotian's trump cards for Huang Mang and the others.
Instantly, Huang Mang and the other nine fiercely charged towards Li Xiaotian, their killing intent boiling.
