Chapter 209 The Decisive Battle Begins

In the great hall, led by the Dong family patriarch, other family heads also spoke up. They were anxious. If they didn't seize the opportunity to strengthen their families after this battle, when would they get the chance?

Tian Gu couldn't help but sneer inwardly. These were all selfish and greedy fellows, unable to hide their true colors now that there was profit to be made.

Among the fourteen families present, two sent out King-level experts. The remaining families sent people whose strength was at most comparable to Bai Tianxia and the others.

Adding the two King-level experts from the Tian family, the total number of King-level experts participating in the ambush of Li Xiaotian was four, along with ten top War Gods.

This was a formidable combination. If they were placed in a war zone, they could easily sweep away all enemies.

Yet, now they had only one objective: to kill Li Xiaotian.

"Haha, excellent, excellent! Sending these people to kill Li Xiaotian, he'll consider it worth dying for!" Tian Gu chuckled, filled with glee. The only person he feared and wanted to kill was Li Xiaotian!

Previously, due to his carelessness, he had sent his son, Tian Qilin, with the Tian Guards to kill Li Xiaotian. The mission failed, the Tian family lost six War Gods, and Tian Qilin was severely injured, bedridden for half a month, unable to even move.

As a father, he watched this with a heavy heart, wishing he could tear Li Xiaotian apart with his own hands!

"Cough, cough, Lord Tian, then how will the spoils of war be divided?" the Dong family patriarch said with a dry cough.

"Divided according to merit!" Tian Gu said indifferently. Since all families had contributed, there was no distinction. What he had said to Bai Tianxia and the others earlier was merely to provoke the other families.

"However, as a final arrangement, regardless of the merit each family accumulates in this battle, one family disciple can be sent to the Tian family to learn cultivation techniques," Tian Gu added after some thought. After all, he had to give these people some benefits.

"That's good, that's good, thank you, Lord Tian!" In the great hall, everyone responded in unison, joy evident on their faces. The Tian family's cultivation techniques were highly coveted by them.

After all, counting the late Chen Wanli, the fourteen ancient martial families had only three King-level experts in total. The Tian family alone had cultivated two, which was enough to prove the terrifying nature of the Tian family's ancient martial cultivation techniques.

"Rumble!" At night, the battle suddenly began. In the sky, countless streaks of light, like fireworks, shot towards the forest where the Tian family was located.

The forest was filled with firelight everywhere, the darkness illuminated as if by daylight.

Li Xiaotian's side launched the attack. This time, he didn't charge forward with his men, as the Tian family's location was too advantageous. If they charged, they would be fully exposed to the enemy's sight.

Explosions continued to roar. The Tian family forest, which had been as beautiful as a painted scroll, was now filled with destruction.

The Tian family was counterattacking, but their equipment was far inferior to Li Xiaotian's side, rendering it almost useless.

Li Xiaotian stood in the desert, looking calmly at the direction of the blazing firelight in the distance. Behind him was an endless army of warriors.

"Report! No signs of enemy army movement detected in the Tian family forest. One-third of the Tian family palace has been destroyed, but only a small number of enemies have been found!"

"Report! The edges of the Tian family forest are covered in flames. No enemy movement has been detected!"

"Report! Several areas suitable for enemy concealment have been found in the Tian family forest. Commander Li, requesting permission for concentrated firepower coverage?"

Reports converged around Li Xiaotian. This time, Da Qin had provided significant support to eliminate the Ancient Martial Alliance.

Ground, air, and even outer space satellite radars were employed. The Tian family forest was vast, and some of the trees were so enormous that the situation within could not be seen clearly with the naked eye. Even with artillery fire, it would take time to destroy all these trees.

Li Xiaotian narrowed his eyes. Hiding? He smiled. It didn't matter. He wasn't surprised that they had a way to deal with modern weaponry.

However, large-scale attacks with modern weaponry could still cause damage even if the enemy could hide effectively.

"Continue the attack! Tell Li Shanhai to be responsible for all long-range strikes. Do not stop until only half of the ammunition remains!"

Li Xiaotian ordered with a poker face.

The attack continued, the massive sea of fire seeming to dye the entire sky red. The terrifying heat could be felt even by Li Xiaotian's side, several kilometers away.

At the same time, this war was being broadcast live. Millions of Da Qin citizens were watching on their computers, as were some foreign powers.

"Roar! So exciting, Da Qin is mighty! What ancient martial families, what rulers of thousands of years, are fragile before Da Qin's power!" someone roared on the internet, extremely excited.

"Da Qin's progress in the last hundred years is stronger than that of several previous dynasties combined. The Ancient Martial Alliance still wants to rule us, what a dream!"

"The people of the Ancient Martial Alliance must be scared stiff right now? Dare not counterattack, haha, they excel at close combat, but we won't give them the chance for close combat, driving them mad!"

"Oh, semi-da, Da Qin's modern weapons look very powerful, but their destructive power is average. Compared to our Great Korean modern weapons, Da Qin is still far behind. If Da Qin had used our Great Korean weapons this time, the war would likely have ended by now!"

"What the heck! What's with the upstairs post? A spitting dog dares to spew nonsense on our Da Qin's network?"

"Great Han? Heh heh, the entire galaxy, the entire universe knows you are the strongest. You spew nonsense, nanbouwan!"

Discussions on the internet were heated, but people were inwardly concerned about the battle situation. While outsiders watched the spectacle, those involved in the war wore expressions of solemnity.

Da Qin's modern weaponry had been bombarding for over ten minutes, but the Ancient Martial Alliance had not yet begun to counterattack. This situation could only be explained in two ways: either the Ancient Martial Alliance had suffered heavy losses and was unable to counterattack, or they had long since hidden themselves, and the modern weaponry had not weakened their strength.

On the battlefield, the modern weaponry bombardment had ceased. Li Xiaotian's eyes gleamed with anticipation. The real war was about to begin!

"All troops advance!" Li Xiaotian roared.

"Kill!!" A tidal wave of troops surged towards the Tian family forest.

Looking down from a high altitude, one could see the white desert being swallowed by dark shadows.

Countless helicopters in the air provided cover for the ground troops, destroying any interceptors immediately upon detection.

Li Xiaotian's army was getting closer and closer to the Tian family forest!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Suddenly, the ground began to vibrate, and dust churned.

"Stop!" Li Xiaotian ordered. The army halted instantly, the sudden change putting everyone on high alert.

"Underground!" Li Xiaotian's heart tightened. He realized the key point. There were no enemies in the forest, and his army had surrounded the area. Therefore, the Ancient Martial Alliance members must be underground!
