"Heh heh heh." Li Xiaotian let out a strange laugh, then his gaze fell upon the black-robed elder and the others. His expression remained unchanged, as if they were already dead.
As each person was subjected to his gaze, they couldn't help but tremble inwardly, instinctively averting their eyes from Li Xiaotian.
The black-robed elder tightly gripped the long sword in his hand, a sense of humiliation swelling within him. Any one of them, in terms of age, likely had a fraction of the years Li Xiaotian had lived, yet now, they were all being suppressed by Li Xiaotian, even harboring fear.
"Now, it's your turn." Li Xiaotian's somber voice echoed, and in the next instant, everyone present felt a chill that pierced their very minds.
"Stay together! I refuse to believe you, Li Xiaotian, truly possess the power to annihilate us all!"
The black-robed elder gritted his teeth. He was wary of Li Xiaotian at this moment, but that did not mean he would cower before him. This was an instinctual judgment.
An old powerhouse who had lived from ancient times naturally possessed his own pride. He was unwilling, unwilling to be suppressed in such a manner by Li Xiaotian, who had only recently broken through to the late stage of the Emperor Realm.
Furthermore, they still had over a dozen Emperor Realm experts present, meaning they still had a chance to turn the tide.
"Do not scatter! Follow closely behind me, and then you simply attack!"
The black-robed elder declared, his eyes flashing with ferocity.
"Buzz!" As soon as his words fell, Li Xiaotian moved. The moment his blade was drawn, endless black mist surged outwards.
"Kill!!!" The black-robed elder roared, a sky-piercing sword energy shooting towards the heavens, then slashing towards Li Xiaotian.
Simultaneously, the other Emperor Realm martial artists also let out roars, unleashing their attacks. The sky was filled with the flashing of various lights, and the sound of explosions was incessant.
"Hmph!" Li Xiaotian watched as the attacks, each emanating a terrifying aura, surged towards him. He curved his lips slightly, and then, his body moved horizontally in an instant, his drawn blade slashing towards the black-robed elder's flank.
"You!!! Damn it!!!" The black-robed elder's eyes widened in an instant, filled with fury and savagery. Li Xiaotian had actually dodged!
Because Li Xiaotian had always confronted them head-on before, and his perceived madness had led them to believe that Li Xiaotian’s next offensive would be a frontal assault, with the primary target being one of the two late-stage Emperor Realm experts.
Thus, the black-robed elder and the other late-stage Emperor Realm expert had positioned themselves at the forefront, with the remaining Emperor Realm experts behind them.
But who would have thought Li Xiaotian would dodge, and this time, his chosen target was those below the late-stage Emperor Realm.
"Boom!" As the blade light flashed, two ordinary Emperor Realm martial artists were instantly annihilated by the blade light. They didn't even know what had happened before they died in confusion.
"Damn you! Li Xiaotian, you deserve to die!!!"
The black-robed elder roared, his eyes bloodshot, but Li Xiaotian had no time to pay him any mind.
Li Xiaotian's figure vanished once more, the endless black mist rapidly expanding. The corpses of the two Emperor Realm experts who had just died were instantly swallowed by the black mist.
"I said, you all must die! Not just you, but all enemies who dare to invade tonight shall perish!"
Li Xiaotian said coldly. Long Yi was dead, many others were dead. If he didn't kill all these enemies tonight, how could he face those who had died?
"Ah!" A scream rang out. One Emperor Realm expert, caught by Li Xiaotian's attention, was directly sliced in half at the waist.
At this moment, the late-stage Emperor Realm martial artists began to panic.
"Elder, what should we do? Should we flee? Or quickly seek reinforcements from the sect!"
Someone said nervously, their face deathly pale. These people couldn't even track Li Xiaotian's movements.
"Do not panic! Do not fall into his trap. He is not our match, otherwise, he wouldn't be ambushing us like this!"
The black-robed elder said with a cold face. He exchanged a smile with the other late-stage Emperor Realm expert beside him, and the two of them jointly attacked Li Xiaotian.
But this time, Li Xiaotian did not dodge. Instead, he raised his blade with both hands, and the black mist in the surrounding sky surged madly towards the long saber.
"Buzz!" Another slash was made, and all the black mist in the sky dissipated. They were all absorbed into this single strike.
The complexions of the black-robed elder and the other two turned terrifyingly grim, their faces drained of all color, because Li Xiaotian’s blade grew more powerful with each strike.
The attacks of the two were instantly neutralized by Li Xiaotian's blade, and the blade light continued its path, swiftly cutting towards the two.
"Damn it!" The black-robed elder roared. At this moment, neither he nor his companion hesitated. They dodged directly to the left and right.
And behind them were all the ordinary Emperor Realm experts, their faces filled with disbelief. They never imagined that the two late-stage Emperor Realm powerhouses, one of whom possessed a heavenly weapon, would actually dodge at this moment.
"Rumble!"
With a deafening roar, black gas instantly engulfed all the Emperor Realm experts in front of them.
Screams continued to erupt, and blood rain fell like water. However, before it could descend for long, it was devoured by the thin black gas surrounding it.
Within the black mist, figures struggled, trying to escape, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not break free, only letting out desperate screams.
Witnessing this scene, the black-robed elder and the other late-stage Emperor Realm expert felt their scalps go numb, their hearts filled with a chilling sensation. At the same time, a memory from ancient times began to resurface.
This scene, they had seen it before.
In ancient times, there was a powerful expert who, while facing encirclement by numerous warriors of the same level, grew stronger with each battle, ultimately annihilating everyone with a single strike.
That expert was the Demon Lord!
At this moment, the two lost all thoughts and turned to flee towards the distance.
Li Xiaotian had somehow obtained the Demon Lord's inheritance!!
Such a Li Xiaotian was beyond their match!
"Can you escape?" Li Xiaotian's voice was icy. Then, a faint streak of light shot out from within him.
In the blink of an eye, the black-robed elder and his companion froze in mid-air, their faces filled with terror.
And at this moment, the life force within them was rapidly disappearing. They were dead.
A faint breeze blew, and the bodies of the black-robed elder and his companion vanished instantly. They had been completely devoured by that streak of light the moment it flashed; what people saw now were merely afterimages of their bodies.
This was because the speed of that streak of light was so immense that many people couldn't even discern what it was.
"Ugh!" Li Xiaotian grunted, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. Within his body, the Demon Blade vibrated excitedly, conveying a sense of immense satisfaction.
At this moment, the long saber had returned to Li Xiaotian's hand. In the sky, no one remained except for Li Xiaotian.
All the Emperor Realm experts who had invaded tonight had been killed by Li Xiaotian.
The battlefield fell into a profound silence at this moment. Everyone stood frozen in place. Li Xiaotian, from his appearance to this point, had not even spent half an hour to turn the tide of the battle.
