After the people from the Desolate Hall fled the battlefield, Li Xiaotian and the others were pushed into a desperate situation. Now, they could only fight to the death, and only then might they have a slim chance of survival.
However, the two overlords of the Demon Race, along with numerous Beast Emperors, possessed strength far exceeding that of Da Qin. The two overlords alone were enough to annihilate Li Xiaotian and his companions.
"Let's go all out! Fight to the death!!!"
Someone shouted with a look of determination, their entire being filled with fighting spirit.
"Hum!"
The sword in Jian Lin's hand hummed, and he exuded a sharp, bone-chilling sword intent.
Li Xiaotian's eyes were pitch black, having fully descended into demonic conquest. His aura continued to strengthen, and he was prepared for a fight to the death.
The others also adjusted their states; at this moment, they had nowhere left to retreat.
"Heh heh, mere ants, daring to block us?"
The Black Dragon sneered, its tone filled with disdain, yet its eyes flickered furtively over Li Xiaotian and the others.
It was imperative to find the human possessing the divine artifact and devour him first. Otherwise, once Silver Wolf discovered the artifact, it wouldn't be able to keep it for itself.
"What a pity, the Lord of the First Hall actually fled the battlefield. Heh heh, human overlords are also nothing special!"
Silver Wolf sneered. Even it was surprised. Although, after its attack, the opponent's strength was no match for it and Black Dragon, the fact that they fled without even attempting to resist left it somewhat astonished.
It had never encountered a human overlord so afraid of death.
"Hmph! That is merely the action of an individual and does not represent humanity! Silver Wolf, do not seize this opportunity to insult humanity. If our Sword Pavilion's Master and the Dao Sect's Leader were here, would you dare appear?"
Jian Lin bellowed, his expression grim. Although he was furious about the Desolate Lord's escape, he could not tolerate Silver Wolf insulting humanity in front of him.
"That's right! Don't forget who forced back your Three Overlords of Myriad Beast Mountain last time! Back then, only two of our human overlords appeared!"
Someone spoke with a mocking tone, showing no fear even when facing overlords, knowing that even if they begged for mercy now, the opponents would not spare them.
"Presumptuous!!! A bunch of ants, daring to talk back to this Emperor?"
Silver Wolf roared upon hearing this and unleashed a giant claw strike.
"Kill!!! Slaughter all humans! This battle, the Demon Race emerges victorious!"
The Black Dragon also roared, opening its massive maw and charging towards Li Xiaotian and the others. It didn't know who possessed the divine artifact but had a slight impression that it was among Li Xiaotian, Jian Lin, and a few others.
Instantly, Li Xiaotian and the others felt a suffocating sense of fear, as if they were mere straw in a raging storm, on the verge of annihilation at any moment.
"Kill!!!"
Li Xiaotian roared, slashing with his saber. Endless black mist surged from his body. This time, he was cautious and did not use the Demonic Sword, not out of fear of exposure, but waiting for an opportunity, a chance for a killing blow.
"Use your body as a sword, strike!"
Jian Lin shouted, his entire being as sharp as an unsheathed divine weapon.
"Myriad Life Grows!"
Zhen Wu, the Dao Son of the Dao Sect, formed hand seals, and thick vines shot up from the ground like arrows.
"Holy Light!"
Saintess Selena, her expression divine, waved her scepter, unleashing a beam of holy light.
Dozens of human Royal level cultivators resisted the attacks of Silver Wolf and Black Dragon. In an instant, the entire battlefield was filled with terrifying fluctuations. The combined power of so many strong individuals was no weaker than that of the two overlords.
"Boom!!!"
A deafening roar was followed by continuous rumbling, and terrifying shockwaves swept in all directions.
Where they clashed, a clearing instantly appeared, and Li Xiaotian and the others were all sent flying. Many spat blood, their breaths weak.
"Not bad, you ants actually managed to block the attacks of this Emperor and Black Dragon Emperor together. However, it is still like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Today, no human can save you!"
Silver Wolf sneered. The combined attack of these ants before had only caused its claws a slight sting, not even damaging a single hair on its body.
"Roar!"
On the other side, the Black Dragon attacked again. This time, its speed was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it had swallowed a human Royal level cultivator.
"Heh heh, tastes good."
The Black Dragon spoke with a chuckle.
"Damn it!!!"
Seeing this, Li Xiaotian and the others' eyes turned red. These were their comrades who had fought alongside them just moments ago, and now they were being devoured alive by the Black Dragon.
"Kill!!! Let's risk it! What are overlords? I don't believe the gap between peak Royal and Overlord is a chasm!"
Jian Lin roared, charging at the Black Dragon without a second thought. The aura emanating from him grew stronger, more terrifying than before, as he burned his own life to enhance his combat power!
Meanwhile, Li Xiaotian desperately circulated the Demonic Devouring Art, absorbing the remains of surrounding demonic beasts to rapidly increase his strength, and then charged forward again with his saber.
"Heh heh, I just love food that comes to my doorstep."
Silver Wolf sneered, its body transforming into an afterimage. It reappeared behind a human Royal level cultivator, cleaving its body with a claw before devouring it.
"Damn it!!! How detestable!!! Beast! Beast!!!"
Someone roared, their face contorted in rage, attacking frantically.
At this moment, Li Xiaotian and the others had gone berserk. They attacked desperately, attempting to hinder the Black Dragon and Silver Wolf, but it was all in vain, as their strength was too inferior for the two overlords.
"Ah!!!"
A scream echoed as another person was devoured alive by the Black Dragon.
"Kill!!!"
Li Xiaotian, with bloodshot eyes, slashed at the Black Dragon, but with a flick of its tail, it sent Li Xiaotian flying.
"Pfft!"
Li Xiaotian spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if all his bones were broken, the pain unbearable.
"Master!!! Demon Lord!!! Old man!!! Have you thought of a solution? If you don't, I'm revealing the Demonic Sword!"
Li Xiaotian roared in his mind, his eyes red and teeth clenched. Watching one comrade after another fall, those who had fought alongside him, filled his heart with agony.
"Stinky brat! You dare threaten this seat when asking for its help?"
The Demon Lord scolded, also feeling very annoyed. If you can't beat those two little beasts, why are you taking it out on me?
"Hurry up and say it! Master!!! If there's no way, I'm going all out! We can't afford to lose any more lives!"
Li Xiaotian replied, and then lunged forward again. This time, the Demonic Sword within him was restless, ready to strike at any moment.
"Yes! But the consequences will be severe! Stinky brat, you better think it through. This method is merely a conjecture of this seat, and I have never tried it."
The Demon Lord spoke, its tone somewhat serious.
"Say it quickly! No matter what the method is, as long as it can kill these two beasts!"
Li Xiaotian's heart leaped with joy. He no longer cared about the consequences; as long as they could overcome this crisis, he could accept any severe repercussions.
