Chapter 669 Fiery Weapons Unleashed

In a short while, the leader of the Xingtian Department and others had each seized a treasure.

The leader of the Xingtian Department obtained the Heavenly Tablet, Empress Tianxiang acquired the Dragon King Hall, and the Patriarch of the God-Devouring Clan took the Supreme Heavenly Blade of Gu Qiankun.

Only the Dead Spirit Great Shaman was less fortunate, obtaining Gu Qiankun's corpse. His expression was somewhat grim.

As previously agreed, Li Xiaotian's and Gu Qiankun's corpses were to be divided equally in the end.

Therefore, the corpse he acquired was essentially a fruitless effort, and compared to the other three, he was the most pitiable.

"Heh heh."

The Patriarch of the God-Devouring Clan chuckled, remaining silent. However, anyone hearing it would feel that he was gloating.

Besides the Dead Spirit Great Shaman, the other three proceeded to refine the treasures they had seized.

No one noticed a flicker of surprise in Empress Tianxiang's eyes, but it vanished as quickly as it appeared, and she soon concealed it.

"Tianxiang, have your subordinates hand over Li Xiaotian's corpse, otherwise, do not blame me for being ruthless!"

A moment later, the leader of the Xingtian Department said to Tianxiang in a somber tone.

In the distance, the Dragon Horse had not escaped. It was besieged by five overlords, its aura locked, making it impossible to use its speed.

It was already severely injured and its aura was weak, but it still attempted to flee.

"Heh heh, why is Leader Xing in such a hurry? Why not divide Gu Qiankun's corpse first, and then consider Li Xiaotian's."

Empress Tianxiang smiled and said, standing on the Dragon King Hall. Simultaneously, a long tail shot out, coiling around the Dragon Horse that was being besieged, and then throwing it among the overlords of the Demon Clan.

"Keep an eye on it, don't let it cause more trouble."

"Tianxiang, what do you mean? Does your Demon Clan intend to hoard Li Xiaotian's corpse?"

The leader of the Xingtian Department's expression turned cold. He took a step forward, and the giant axe in his hand emitted a powerful aura of malevolence.

On the surface, Tianxiang appeared to be having the Demon Clan overlords guard the Dragon Horse to prevent it from escaping, but in reality, she was clearly saving the Dragon Horse.

If Tianxiang hadn't intervened, the Dragon Horse would not have lasted long under the siege of the Xingtian Department's overlords.

"What does Leader Xing mean? How could my Demon Clan dare to hoard Li Xiaotian's corpse?"

Tianxiang looked innocent, but her heart was filled with cold laughter and mockery.

"Hmph! Then make it hand over Li Xiaotian!"

The leader of the Xingtian Department snorted coldly.

"Why is Leader Xing in such a hurry? Gu Qiankun's corpse hasn't been divided yet?"

"Heh heh, that's right, let's divide Gu Qiankun's corpse first."

Beside them, the Patriarch of the God-Devouring Clan stepped next to Tianxiang and said with a smile.

Seeing this, the leader of the Xingtian Department narrowed his eyes, and a terrifying killing intent was vaguely brewing.

Anyone could tell that these two intended to hoard Li Xiaotian's corpse.

"Heh heh, the corpse I worked so hard to snatch, why should it be divided first? Instead, regarding Li Xiaotian's golden body, I think it's best to divide it first. Otherwise, if we delay too long, unforeseen circumstances might arise."

The Dead Spirit Great Shaman said with a sinister smile, but his heart was filled with rage.

He was the one who suffered the most loss, yet before Gu Qiankun's corpse had even warmed up, it was to be divided. How could he be content?

Therefore, seeing Tianxiang and the Patriarch of the God-Devouring Clan subtly escalating into conflict with the leader of the Xingtian Department, he was eager to add fuel to the fire.

The leader of the Xingtian Department glanced at the Dead Spirit, then looked at Tianxiang and the other two, his eyes flashing with undisguised killing intent. He took another step forward.

"Hand over Li Xiaotian, or do not blame me for turning hostile!"

"Heh heh."

His response was a light laugh from Tianxiang.

"Hmph! You court death!"

The leader of the Xingtian Department snorted coldly and swung his giant axe directly, shouting loudly.

"Xingtian Department, kill all the demons and seize Li Xiaotian's corpse! Dead Spirit, make your move! Kill these two, and the Heavenly Tablet and the palace will be one for each of us, and the rest will be divided equally!"

"Today, we will slaughter all the demons!!!"

War instantly broke out. The leader of the Xingtian Department pressed Tianxiang, his giant axe constantly swinging, unleashing terrifying attacks.

Meanwhile, the Dead Spirit Great Shaman also let out a cold laugh and charged towards the Patriarch of the God-Devouring Clan.

The number of Human Clan overlords present was twice that of the Demon Clan, so their chances of victory were very high.

The battlefield immediately descended into chaos. Human Clan overlords besieged Demon Clan overlords, with almost every demon being attacked by two people.

Moreover, the Dragon Horse was in the most dangerous situation, with almost every Human Clan overlord seeking opportunities to attack it.

The other demons, though willing to help, were entangled by others and could not disengage.

"Roar!!!"

The Dragon Horse roared, its body covered in wounds, yet it still protected Li Xiaotian's body, preventing it from being harmed.

At the same time, not far from the battlefield, a team was also rapidly approaching. Their strength varied, with some at the Emperor level and some at the King level, but no overlords.

"What's going on?"

The people from the Dragon King Hall were astonished to see the human and demon clans fighting amongst themselves.

"That's the Dragon King Hall!! The King's palace!"

Someone with keen eyes spotted the palace beneath Tianxiang's feet.

"The King!!! I see the King! He's on that Dragon Horse! Oh no, the King is in danger!!"

Someone shouted, their voice filled with anxiety.

"Brothers, kill! Help that Dragon Horse!"

Someone shouted, and all the more than one hundred people charged forward.

This scene had long been observed by the many overlords present. When they saw that the strongest among these people was only at the late Emperor level, a look of disdain flashed in their eyes.

"Mere ants, daring to snatch food from a tiger's mouth?"

An overlord scoffed and casually threw a punch.

"Kill!!!"

Among the people of the Dragon King Hall, several Emperor level cultivators stepped out voluntarily, joining forces to resist the attack.

"Hmph, ants, do you qualify to participate in an overlord's battle? Scram!!!"

An overlord snorted coldly, his voice shaking the heavens and earth, impacting the warriors of the Dragon King Hall.

In an instant, many King level cultivators were severely injured.

Their eyes were filled with anger and anxiety. The enemies were too strong, and they could not help at all.

"Warm weapons, bring out the rocket launchers!!!"

Someone's eyes suddenly lit up, and they shouted urgently.

Immediately, everyone was alerted. They had brought plenty of ammunition specifically in case of emergencies.

As they spoke, rocket launchers were hoisted onto their shoulders.

The overlords from Manzhou were somewhat surprised by this scene. Most of Manzhou had been sealed before.

Furthermore, located in the Arctic region, the number of modern humans living there was very small, and there were no militarily powerful nations.

After the ancient people of Manzhou revived, they massacred all those people and did not encounter any resistance, thus they had not seen many thermal weapons.

However, they did not take it seriously. What impact could a group of ants have on them?

At this moment, three overlords were closely pursuing the Dragon Horse, with one of them blocking its path. The hundred-zhang tall physique was about to grab the Dragon Horse.

"Brothers! Aim for that giant, fire!!!"

A warrior from the Dragon King Hall shouted. Instantly, over a hundred rocket launchers were all fired, and countless streams of light flew towards the giant blocking the Dragon Horse.

"What is this thing? Damn it!"

The giant's expression was one of surprise, as he sensed a hint of danger. But before he could finish speaking, countless shells struck his body.

"Rumble!!!"

His hundred-zhang tall body was instantly engulfed by artillery fire, and the Dragon King Hall people did not stop at one shot; the second salvo followed closely.

The immense roaring sound resounded through the heavens and earth. At this moment, the attention of all the overlords present was drawn.

"Who are they? They are not from Manzhou!"

An overlord's tone was filled with killing intent.

"They came for Li Xiaotian!"

"I know, they are Li Xiaotian's subordinates. Back then, the Fire Child from Yanzhou mentioned that Li Xiaotian had his own force called the Dragon King Hall, all of whom were assembled from mere ants of the modern world."

In an instant, countless gazes turned towards the group from the Dragon King Hall.

The Dragon Horse also looked surprised, somewhat bewildered. It had never heard Li Xiaotian mention these things.

The humans were not strong, but each of them possessed surging fighting spirit, fearless of death. Knowing they would die, they still intervened in a battle of this magnitude.

So many fierce individuals, and Li Xiaotian was their leader?

The Dragon Horse was somewhat skeptical.

However, it had to admit that these people from the Dragon King Hall had saved it, allowing it to escape once more.

"Ahhhh!!! Ants! Ants!! You have angered me!!!"

The overlord enveloped in flames roared, his heart filled with humiliation and rage.

He had actually been injured by a group of ants. Those strange weapons, though not severely injuring him, had caused him to be engulfed in flames in front of so many powerful beings and allowed the Dragon Horse to escape, filling him with shame.

"Die!! Ants!"

The hundred-zhang giant directly disengaged from the battlefield and strode towards the people of the Dragon King Hall.
