"Insolence! Long Shi Wu, by what right does your Dragon King Hall obstruct us? We are leaving the city to seek aid for your King, to help him kill the Blood Child. If you hinder us, delaying the opportune moment, can you bear the responsibility?"
The one-armed elder reprimanded sternly, his heart filled with fury. If Li Xiao Tian hadn't injured him, why would he have paid any heed to the formidable Long Shi Wu? To be threatened by a junior at the late stage of the Emperor realm made him feel utterly disgraced! Now, with him leading others to depart, and the other still forcing their way, how could he possibly tolerate it?
"Indeed, Long Shi Wu, move aside quickly and don't delay matters of great importance. Can't you see your King is already losing to the Blood Child? By obstructing us, you are allowing your King to die!"
Someone in the crowd, anxious, shouted loudly. He saw Li Xiao Tian retreating step by step in the sky, fearing that Li Xiao Tian would not be able to hold on the next moment and be killed by the Blood Child, leaving them no chance to escape.
"You people of the later generations of humanity have no idea of the Blood Child's terror. You took it upon yourselves to seal Linhai City, intending to kill the Blood Child single-handedly, which is nothing short of playing with fire!"
"Our departure is to find ways to mend your flaws, to seek out human experts and jointly eliminate the Blood Child. That is the most important thing. Long Shi Wu, do not let your stubbornness harm humanity!"
The crowd spoke one after another, each reprimanding with an unfriendly attitude. Some even prepared to force their way out of the city at any moment.
"Om!"
Seeing this, Long Shi Wu’s body suddenly erupted with astonishing sword intent. He stared coldly at the crowd before him and then spoke.
"Anyone who wishes to die, try leaving the city! Also, my King will not be defeated! My King's decisions do not require your concern!"
"Damn it! Foolish!!! Do you know the consequences of your actions? If the Blood Child escapes and wreaks havoc, your Dragon King Hall will be the sinner of humanity!!!"
The one-armed elder roared, his face contorted in rage, and then addressed the crowd behind him.
"Everyone, the people of Dragon King Hall are obstinate. We cannot stand idly by. For the sake of humanity, we must leave the city now!"
"Yes! Leave the city! I want to see who dares to stop us?"
"Although we were injured by Li Xiao Tian, for humanity, even if we have to risk our lives, we must leave the city!"
"Leave the city! Let's break out together! Without Li Xiao Tian, who in Dragon King Hall can stop us?"
The crowd shouted, each erupting with aura, pressing towards Long Shi Wu.
"Om!"
Suddenly, a dark light flashed in the sky. The leading one-armed elder immediately cried out in pain as his other arm was also severed, blood flowing freely. This sudden strike stunned everyone; they hadn't even realized how the elder's arm was broken.
"A bunch of good-for-nothings. Long Shi Wu, why waste time with them? Just kill them!"
An Mei appeared beside Long Shi Wu, her face cold. It was she who had made the move.
"How dare you look down on my King, thinking he's no match for Li Wen Bo? I think you old geezers are just in a hurry to escape."
On the other side, Long Shi Ba of the Dragon King Hall, wielding a giant axe, flew over leisurely. He glanced at the one-armed elder and the others, then continued speaking.
"Come on! Try to break through, and see if I dare to annihilate you! Damn it, instead of staying properly in the city, you insist on jumping out to cause trouble. You're asking for death!"
"You! Do you know what you are doing?!"
The one-armed elder roared, his eyes filled with hatred. Both his arms were broken! If he hadn't been injured, would he be in such a sorry state?
"We are not escaping; we simply wish to seek strong reinforcements to help your Dragon King Hall solve this mess."
Someone said quietly, daring not to be too presumptuous. After all, the three present were all powerful cultivators at the late stage of the Emperor realm, strong and decisive. If it were only Long Shi Wu, they might have dared to try, but now it was different. Other strong individuals from the Dragon King Hall had already arrived, making it difficult to break out of the city.
"Hmph! Does our Dragon King Hall need help from you useless individuals? If our King wanted help, couldn't he invite helpers?"
An Mei snorted coldly. If Li Xiao Tian were to invite help, he could easily bring in at least four Overlord-level cultivators, and wouldn't need these people to do so.
"Get lost! If you dare to cause trouble again, believe it or not, I'll destroy you all!"
Long Shi Ba shouted loudly, exuding killing intent, his gaze fixed on the one-armed elder and the others. The one-armed elder opened his mouth, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes. He looked at the crowd behind him, seeing their fear, and was furious. Alone, he was outmatched. If he wanted to force his way out, the people behind him had already lost their courage!
"Why aren't you getting lost?!"
An Mei continued to scold, her dagger moving rapidly, ready to strike at any moment.
"Let's go! I hope you know what you are doing."
The one-armed elder gritted his teeth and led his group back into the city, but his heart was already filled with extreme rage. At this moment, he even wished that the Blood Child would kill Li Xiao Tian, and then slaughter everyone in the Dragon King Hall.
From behind, a fierce glint flashed in An Mei's eyes. How could she not detect the one-armed elder's emotional fluctuations?
"Om!"
A dark light flashed by and shot towards the one-armed elder. The one-armed elder instantly felt the danger. He let out a long cry, evading An Mei's dagger, and at the same time, he looked on in disbelief. He hadn't expected An Mei to attack him. He had already brought his people back to the city, so why would she want to kill him?
"Om!"
Seeing this, Long Shi Wu also swung his sword. Since they were going to kill him, they wouldn't give the one-armed elder any chance.
"Save me, everyone!!! The Dragon King Hall wants to annihilate us all!!"
The one-armed elder shouted, his heart filled with fear. By now, Long Shi Ba's axe had also arrived. He could still resist An Mei's attack alone, but with the three of them joining forces, he was sure to die.
"Boom!"
As soon as the one-armed elder finished speaking, his body instantly exploded, dying on the spot. The people around him hadn't even had time to react.
"Hmph! My King spared your lives. Don't be ungrateful. From now on, whoever dares to cause trouble will suffer the same fate!"
An Mei snorted coldly, her killing intent enveloping the crowd. Hearing this, those people felt a chill in their hearts. Their initial anger, ignited by the death of the one-armed elder, dissipated instantly. They feared death!
On the ground, the ancient powerhouses who had remained motionless shook their heads. The one-armed elder was bent on seeking death, and such an outcome was inevitable. All this that happened on the ground took only a few breaths. Li Xiao Tian and Li Wen Bo, high up in the sky, had noticed this scene.
"Heh heh! Li Xiao Tian, did you see that? Even if you kill me today, these people probably won't remember your kindness!"
Li Wen Bo said mockingly, then continued.
"Why don't you pledge allegiance to me and become my servant? I might consider sparing your life."
"Heh, you should consider your own situation, Li Wen Bo. I thought your strength this time would surprise me, but now, I am very disappointed! If these are all the methods you have, then you can go and die!"
Li Xiao Tian spoke unhurriedly, then his eyes flashed with sharp light, and the Devouring Demonic Qi within his body surged out instantly.
