Chapter 659 Mysterious Shadow

The Fire Child's explanation did not convince Gu Qiankun and the others. They all glared at the Fire Child with cold eyes. If Li Xiaotian had not yet been dealt with, they would have attacked the Fire Child on the spot.

The Fire Child clearly understood this. After speaking, he quickly shut his mouth, frantically thinking about how to escape later.

At the same time, he couldn't help but glare resentfully at Li Xiaotian. If the latter hadn't suddenly brought him up, how would Gu Qiankun and the others have noticed him?

Furthermore, the powerful figures from Manzhou who were sealing the perimeter were also implicitly locking their auras onto the Fire Child, clearly preventing his escape.

Li Xiaotian stood on the Dragon King Hall, with the Sky Tablet, three zhang high, floating behind him. A devouring force appeared, consuming the bloodstains on the Sky Tablet.

Had the patriarch of the God Devourer clan come to the War Domain?

Li Xiaotian wondered, feeling a surge of anger. They had agreed to cooperate, but the other party had not appeared until now, which greatly annoyed him.

"Everyone, it's time to end this. We can't drag it out any longer!"

Gu Qiankun suddenly spoke, holding his long saber, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"The previous division remains unchanged. The Sky Tablet will be controlled by our tribes in rotation. As for that palace, whoever seizes it will have it, but they must compensate the others!"

The Death Spirit Great Shaman spoke, his gaze fixated on Li Xiaotian with fiery intensity.

At this point, they had no choice but to fight with all their might. The gains far outweighed the risks, making it incredibly enticing.

"Good!"

Gu Qiankun pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"The Xing Tian Tribe has no objections."

The leader of the Xing Tian Tribe also spoke.

"The Demon Clan has no objections!"

Empress Tian Xiang said with a smile.

They discussed the division of Li Xiaotian's possessions in front of him, clearly believing that Li Xiaotian could no longer cause any significant trouble.

"Hmph!"

Li Xiaotian merely snorted, remaining silent, but secretly communicated with the Demonic Sword within his body.

His trump cards were not limited to this!

To kill him? At least half of Manzhou's overlords would have to perish!!

"Dragon Horse, find a chance to escape quickly later. Don't worry about me!"

Li Xiaotian transmitted his thoughts to the Dragon Horse, cautioning it. If he were to perish, the Dragon Horse would surely be in danger.

"Roar!"

The Dragon Horse let out a low growl, not responding. With its strength, if it transmitted its thoughts, everyone present would capture them.

It was filled with anxiety and anger, but it knew it could not change anything. Staying here would only implicate Li Xiaotian.

"Kill!!!"

Unexpectedly, before Gu Qiankun and the others could make a move, Li Xiaotian attacked first.

He didn't target Gu Qiankun, but instead locked onto the weakest among Gu Qiankun's seven subordinates.

At this point, if he wanted to turn the tide, he could only unleash a killing spree, striking fear and dread into the hearts of these Manzhou powerhouses!

Then, even if Gu Qiankun didn't spare him, others would have to weigh whether to continue troubling him!

But Gu Qiankun and the others were prepared. The seven of them attacked almost simultaneously, their terrifying assaults engulfing Li Xiaotian.

Li Xiaotian roared, his Dragon King Hall defending, controlling the Sky Tablet to charge forward. Even if he had to endure damage, he would kill another person!

"Rumble!!!"

Terrifying fluctuations erupted once more. Li Xiaotian's golden body radiated brilliance. He was going all out.

"Bang!"

Li Xiaotian took a punch from Gu Qiankun, followed by a saber strike.

But fortunately, Li Xiaotian reacted quickly, hastily channeling the defenses of the Dragon King Hall.

"Boom!"

Li Xiaotian grunted, a glint flashing in his eyes, a hint of rage.

However, he also felt a slight sense of relief in his heart.

Gu Qiankun's attacks were weakening with each blow.

It was clear that Gu Qiankun was forcefully driving the high-grade celestial weapon, which explained the decreasing power of his attacks.

After all, high-grade celestial weapons consumed a tremendous amount of energy. With Gu Qiankun's current strength, he couldn't continuously unleash its full power.

"Heh heh, old man, you're finished!!"

Li Xiaotian roared, his tone mocking. He didn't linger in his exchange with Gu Qiankun but continued to advance towards his initial target!

That was a top-tier overlord dressed in purple. Aside from the one Li Xiaotian had previously crushed with the Sky Tablet, he was the weakest of the seven.

"Damn it! Help me!!!"

The purple-clad figure yelled.

"Stop him!"

Gu Qiankun and the others shouted, their attacks increasing in ferocity to impede Li Xiaotian.

They couldn't afford to lose another person.

"Buzz!"

Gu Qiankun, wielding his long saber, unleashed a massive saber shadow that seemed to cleave the heavens and earth. Terrifying killing intent instantly locked onto Li Xiaotian.

Simultaneously, the leader of the Xing Tian Tribe roared, producing a colossal stone axe. He carved a huge spatial rift and sent it hurtling towards Li Xiaotian.

On the other side, the Death Spirit Great Shaman chanted an incantation, and obscure, ancient voices echoed through the heavens and earth. Black mist descended, and a devilish shadow brandished a scythe within the fog, targeting Li Xiaotian.

Behind Empress Tian Xiang, the phantom of a colossal Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox appeared. Six tails simultaneously lashed out, striking at Li Xiaotian like tentacles.

These four powerhouses unleashed devastating attacks, all focused on Li Xiaotian.

A sense of impending death washed over Li Xiaotian.

If he continued his assault on the purple-clad figure, he would inevitably endure the combined attacks of the four. However, if he turned to defend himself, he would lose the opportunity to severely injure or kill the purple-clad figure.

"Damn it!"

A trace of crimson flashed in Li Xiaotian's eyes as he rapidly considered his options. Should he resort to using the Demonic Sword now?

If he did, all his trump cards would be exposed, leaving him with only the Reversal Demonic Art.

But at this juncture, the Reversal Demonic Art would hardly make a difference.

"I'll risk it!"

Li Xiaotian hardened his heart, activating the Demonic Sword within his body. He was determined to kill the purple-clad figure!!!

"Heh heh heh!!!"

Just as Li Xiaotian was about to activate the Demonic Sword, a cold, eerie breeze suddenly swept across the battlefield.

Instantly, a strange and sinister sound echoed in everyone's ears, followed by a chilling sensation that gripped their hearts.

In unison, everyone's expression changed.

At their level of power, how could ordinary wind affect them?

This wind was not normal!

"Overlord Li, do what you must. Leave the rest to this old man."

An aged voice arose beside Li Xiaotian's ear.

Immediately after, he felt a foreign presence behind him.

At this moment, in the eyes of Gu Qiankun and the others, a black shadow materialized out of thin air behind Li Xiaotian.

"Damn it! Who is it?!"

"You court death!!"

"Which overlord dares?!"

Gu Qiankun and the others' faces changed drastically, and shouts of anger erupted.

Because the suddenly appearing black shadow was also a top-tier overlord, and what surprised them even more was that this person's aura was completely unfamiliar; they had never encountered him before.

At the same time, they were filled with rage. All the forces of Manzhou had joined forces to hunt Li Xiaotian. Who dared to actively assist Li Xiaotian at this moment?

This was an act of defiance against Manzhou! Who would dare?!

"Kill!!!"

A loud shout rang out, and Li Xiaotian attacked.

His eyes instantly turned black. The Reversal Demonic Art!

He first unleashed the Sky Tablet, then followed up with dozens of consecutive punches, all aimed at the purple-clad figure.

"No!!! Save me!!!"

The purple-clad figure roared, his voice heart-wrenching and filled with terror.

"Rumble!!!"

But at this moment, Gu Qiankun and the others had no opportunity to intervene, as all their attacks were blocked by the black shadow behind Li Xiaotian.

They could only watch this scene unfold.

"Aaaargh!!! Damn it!!! Who are you?!"

Gu Qiankun roared at the heavens, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at the black shadow. Who was this person? How dared he help Li Xiaotian?

How could he?!

"All powerhouses of Manzhou, assisting Li Xiaotian is an act of hostility towards Manzhou. You have great audacity!!"

The Death Spirit Great Shaman roared, his voice filled with immense anger.

"Do you not fear clan annihilation? Intervening in this battle, have you considered the consequences?! Hmph?!"

The leader of the Xing Tian Tribe questioned with a stern face.

"Boom!!"

With a deafening crash, the purple-clad figure was consumed by Li Xiaotian's attacks, his body exploding on the spot.

Another top-tier overlord had fallen!

"Haha!"

Li Xiaotian let out a hearty laugh, then abruptly opened his mouth, devouring the flesh and blood of the purple-clad figure.

The purple-clad figure was a body cultivator and could refine Ancient God's Blood. However, Li Xiaotian had no time to refine it now, so he had to forcefully devour it.

Meanwhile, Gu Qiankun and the others watched this scene with bloodshot eyes, their gazes filled with killing intent and fury.

However, the person they most wanted to kill at this moment was not Li Xiaotian, but the black shadow.

It was precisely because of the shadow's sudden appearance that the purple-clad figure had perished.

"Who are you!!!"

Gu Qiankun asked again, his expression incredibly cold.
