"Bang!" Long Yi exchanged a punch with his opponent. His body was rapidly repelled by the immense force. Though outmatched, a strong fighting spirit flashed in his eyes!
"Wang! I'll handle this old man!" Long Yi roared, wanting to test if he could kill a King-level expert.
Li Xiaotian, who was about to move, smiled faintly. He glanced at Long Yi, then at Long Fifteen. Seeing the eager look on both their faces, he halted his advance.
Their current strength was comparable to his own before his breakthrough. Facing two King-level opponents who were not fighting with all their might, they had a fighting chance, so he wasn't worried.
"Ancient martial arts families, heh." Li Xiaotian chuckled. The foundation of ancient martial arts families was indeed formidable, but to him now, it was merely that!
"Boom!" Li Xiaotian charged into the battlefield. In this moment, he transformed into a god of slaughter, hunting the enemy's War Gods.
"No!" A War God screamed in terror as Li Xiaotian struck him down with a palm.
Ordinary War Gods faced Li Xiaotian with only the certainty of instant death.
Li Xiaotian moved through the battlefield like the Grim Reaper. In just a few minutes, more than a dozen War Gods fell to his hands.
At this moment, the hearts of the ancient martial arts alliance members began to panic, their expressions filled with dread. They attempted to flee, but were held back by their opponents, leaving them no chance. Some, due to their lack of will to fight, were even killed by their adversaries.
"Hahaha!! I, Long Yi, have extinguished a King-level expert!" Long Yi suddenly roared. He tore his opponent apart, splattering himself with blood.
"Long Fifteen, decapitates a King-level expert!" Long Fifteen was not to be outdone, delivering a fatal blow with his sword, instantly killing his opponent.
At this moment, most War Gods in the ancient martial arts alliance were terrified. Li Xiaotian alone had plunged them into despair, and now with two top-tier War Gods capable of killing King-level experts, their resolve immediately crumbled.
"Retreat!" Someone shouted, and immediately the ancient martial arts alliance army became disorganized, instinctively turning to flee.
"No retreat! Those who retreat die! The alliance still has strong fighters, we have not lost!" A War God from the Tian family roared, striking down an escaping martial artist with a palm. But the next moment, his body flew backward.
An Mei appeared behind him, her expression icy.
Seeing this, the ancient martial arts alliance members became even more panicked, all fleeing in a stampede.
"Kill!" Li Xiaotian roared, continuing to harvest enemy War Gods. Long Yi and Long Fifteen also moved across the battlefield, and the army pressed forward!
At this moment, the battlefield situation became one-sided. Li Xiaotian's army advanced rapidly, while the ancient martial arts alliance forces fled frantically.
"Rumble!!" A series of roaring sounds erupted as the ancient martial arts alliance forces burst out of the dust-shrouded area, revealing themselves. At this moment, the helicopter squadron in the sky opened fire.
Those who fled the fastest never imagined that after escaping what they thought was danger, they would face certain death!
At this moment, the ancient martial arts alliance forces were in complete disarray. To retreat meant facing artillery fire, and to not retreat meant being pressed by the advancing army. They had no way out.
However, the slaughter continued. The War Gods of the ancient martial arts alliance were falling rapidly. Unlike ordinary martial artists, each of them was on Li Xiaotian's kill list.
"I refuse to accept this! We, the ancient martial arts families, are the true masters of this land, yet we are being destroyed by ants like you!" A War God roared in his dying moments. Before the battle, they had all believed victory was assured.
The result, however, was this!
"Surrender! We surrender!" Someone shouted, dropping their weapons and kneeling on the ground, trembling, not wanting to die.
Seeing this, some War Gods were moved. They dropped their weapons and stopped fighting, but the next moment, they were met with killing intent from their opponents.
"Those below the War God level can surrender and live; War Gods must die!" Li Xiaotian shouted. Ordinary martial artists could be dispersed and sent to the frontier, but War Gods could not. Individually, they were too powerful, and the destructive potential of a single War God was terrifying.
"Why?! This is unfair!" Some War Gods roared, their faces filled with indignation.
"Bang!" But the next moment, he was sent flying by an opponent's punch.
"Losers have no right to speak of fairness!" His opponent sneered, continuing his assault.
A large number of enemies prostrated themselves on the ground. They surrendered, and at least they were fortunate, for they could live.
But the War Gods had no such chance. Li Xiaotian's side had suffered very few casualties among their War Gods. Thus, by now, it was almost always three or four War Gods ganging up on one opponent.
War God after War God fell. Some tried to desperately carve out a path to survival, but they were overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of their opponents, especially with powerhouses like Li Xiaotian and Long Yi roaming the battlefield, leaving them no opportunities.
Meanwhile, deep beneath the Tian family's forest, in an underground palace, many core figures of the ancient martial arts families were present, all silent.
Everyone wore a grim expression. The outcome of this war had far exceeded their expectations, and Li Xiaotian's strength had disrupted all their plans.
They all looked towards Tian Gu, who sat on the throne, their only hope being that he still had a trump card.
"Everyone, we have lost!" Tian Gu said in a low voice.
Instantly, the entire hall erupted. Some roared in anger, some wantonly smashed objects, and others unleashed curses upon Tian Gu.
"Whoosh!" Suddenly, a dark shadow zipped through the crowd. Behind him, everyone clutched their necks, a trickle of blood seeping from between their fingers.
These were those who had lost control of their emotions earlier, many of whom were at the War God level.
At this moment, silence returned to the palace, and at the same time, they were inwardly shocked. The person who had just acted was also a King-level powerhouse!
Tian Gu slowly rose, his expressionless face turned towards the crowd below, and he said in a deep voice,
"We have lost, but this is not the final end for us!"
"Father, what then? Do we also surrender?" Tian Qilin asked anxiously. He didn't want to die, nor did he want to surrender. He refused to bow meekly to Li Xiaotian.
"Lord Tianzhu, War Gods cannot live. Those below the War God level might have a chance to survive by surrendering, but what about us?" A family patriarch asked. Many present had reached the War God level, but due to their special status, they had not participated in the fighting.
Tian Gu's eyes flickered with anger and unwillingness. Decades of preparation had been destroyed in a single day, a blow that had greatly impacted him.
"Everyone, do not forget, our Tian family is the most ancient of families, and we know more truth than you," Tian Gu said calmly.
Some people present were startled by this, but most looked bewildered. However, they all knew that the Tian family was the most ancient.
Of the fifteen ancient martial arts families, some were supported by the Tian family, while others had gained cultivation techniques through fortunate encounters in their ancestral past, which led to their families' growth.
