Chapter 516 The Secret of the Sea of Blood

Li Wenbo shouted, his eyes streaming with bloody tears, his expression towards Li Xiaotian filled with hatred. He hated, he was unwilling!

To avenge, he had squandered his family fortune. To avenge, he was willing to be seduced by the sea of blood, and finally even became a slave to the sea of blood, no longer human.

The world believed that becoming a blood descendant meant one's heart was devoted to evil, that they were demons who had betrayed humanity. But he, Li Wenbo, was different. In his heart, he still belonged to humanity.

Before the world changed, the people he killed, whose hands hadn't been stained with human blood? In the end, he was killed by Li Xiaotian. His consciousness blurred, and when he woke up again, he had already been transformed by the sea of blood. What could he do?

If he had a choice, he would rather not be resurrected than become a slave to the sea of blood.

But since he had come back to life, the search for Li Xiaotian to exact revenge still had to be carried out. For revenge, he had killed many innocent people and gradually fell into depravity, but his heart remained clear.

From the very beginning, he had decided that after killing Li Xiaotian, he would atone with his own death!

But now, after truly clashing with Li Xiaotian, he realized how far he was from the opponent. Moreover, with what Li Xiaotian was currently doing, if he killed the opponent, what would be the outcome for modern humanity?

He understood the situations in other countries. The strong were respected, and ordinary people had no dignity at all. Only Da Qin was different!

Because of Li Xiaotian, ordinary people in Da Qin had freedom, and they didn't have to worry about dying at any moment! All of this was because of Li Xiaotian!

If Li Xiaotian died, Da Qin would probably be like other countries, wouldn't it?

Li Wenbo thought, feeling a little dejected. He might not be able to get revenge. Not being able to defeat him was one aspect, and another was that he himself did not wish to see Li Xiaotian die.

Li Xiaotian's brow furrowed. At this moment, Li Wenbo gave him a very strange feeling; the opponent seemed full of hesitation.

"Heh, Li Xiaotian, if my father and grandfather hadn't been foolish enough to kill your parents, do you know how powerful the Li family would be now?"

Li Wenbo said with a smile, then suddenly stopped his attack. Li Xiaotian had already swung his saber and couldn't retract it in time, so he could only watch as his saber cleaved into Li Wenbo's chest.

Li Wenbo smiled wryly, did not use his blood to recover, and continued to speak.

"In that case, perhaps the two of us would be very good brothers. I would manage the internal affairs, and you would handle the external. The Li family would be the undisputed number one aristocratic family in Da Qin!"

"What do you want to say? It's a pity there are no 'ifs.' Do you know what it feels like for a ten-year-old child to watch their parents die before their eyes? Do you know how a child survives in a war zone full of bad people?"

Li Xiaotian sheathed his saber and stood still, speaking with a blank expression.

"There are no 'ifs' or 'regrets' in this world. I never regret destroying the Li family!"

"I know. If you regretted it, you wouldn't be Li Xiaotian, nor the Dragon King, and you certainly wouldn't have led Da Qin to rise in this chaotic era."

Li Wenbo spoke unhurriedly, glanced at the surroundings, took a deep breath, and sighed.

"In the end, I'm not as good as you. Heh, what Blood God Physique, what nonsense! I just wanted revenge, I didn't intend to kill indiscriminately."

"Hmph! You regret it? Tens of thousands of people in Linhai City died because of you. Isn't it too late to regret it now?"

Li Xiaotian snorted coldly. He could feel that Li Wenbo had changed, but what of it? The opponent would still die!

"I just wanted revenge. My home is gone, my family is dead, I just wanted revenge!"

Li Wenbo said, his tone somewhat dejected, but then he thought of something and smiled.

"Fortunately, although I'm not your match, your future days won't be easy. You'll be misunderstood by the world, becoming the executioner in everyone's eyes. Heh heh, this can be considered my revenge. If I can't kill you, making you feel disgusted for a while is also good."

Li Xiaotian's eyes flashed. He knew what the other party was talking about. The truth of his slaughter of civilians in Linhai City had surely spread, but the outside world didn't know the reasons. His title as an executioner was cemented.

"Sea of Blood, heh heh, Li Xiaotian, do you know the true origin of the Sea of Blood? Do you know where the deepest part of the Sea of Blood leads? Humanity has a great enemy! Or rather, our world has a great enemy! The demon race and those enemies are not worth mentioning!"

Li Wenbo's eyes suddenly flickered, his expression becoming ferocious. After being transformed by the sea of blood, he had been fortunate enough to go to the deepest part once. That time, he had seen something that had shocked him to this day.

"I've had such a guess. What? You know? You want to tell me the truth?"

Li Xiaotian's heart stirred. He had wandered in the sea of blood before and had personally witnessed the Tongtian Sword Master, along with several supreme powerhouses, deterring the sea of blood. At that time, he knew that the existence of the sea of blood was even more dangerous than the existence of the demon race.

One must know that the changes in heaven and earth today all began with the unsealing of the sea of blood. This indicated that the ancient human powerhouses had paid a great price to seal the sea of blood, likely using certain changes to the entire world as a seal.

"Heh heh, no, no, no, I certainly know the truth, but why should I tell you? You are my enemy!"

Li Wenbo laughed. He was going to die anyway, so he wouldn't consider what the future world would become.

Li Xiaotian narrowed his eyes slightly and saw no reason to say more. Li Wenbo was resolved to die, and the opponent was clearly trying to disgust him before his death.

As for the secrets of the sea of blood, perhaps the other party really knew, but if he didn't say it, his curiosity would be useless.

Sensing Li Xiaotian's killing intent, Li Wenbo glanced at him and then spoke.

"Come on! Li Xiaotian, kill me with your strongest move. But I won't not resist. To kill me, you still need to have that strength!"

"Boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Wenbo's aura instantly surged. He burned all the blood within his body, and his combat power increased madly.

"Kill!"

Li Wenbo roared and threw a punch. All his strength was concentrated in his fist. The terrifying fluctuation even caused ripples in the surrounding space.

"Crack! Crack!"

With a deafening sound, space shattered. Space fragments instantly filled the area around his fist.

"Rumble!"

Then, Li Wenbo's fist pierced through these space fragments and struck towards Li Xiaotian.

Li Xiaotian's eyes flashed. The saber in his hand emitted a piercing hum, and all the energy within his body was channeled into the long saber.

"Heaven Slash!"

Li Xiaotian roared and swung his saber. The sky was instantly covered by red and dazzling saber light. All eyes could only see two brilliant orbs of light in the sky.

"Boom!"

With a world-shattering roar, the sky seemed to split open. A grotesque crack appeared in the air, stretching for dozens of miles.

Immediately after, a terrifying airflow erupted from the crack, sweeping across the entire land. The entire Linhai City was affected, and many tall buildings collapsed directly from the airflow.
