The master and servant, Tian Qilin and Ah San, were in an alley. When they heard the shouts from the Dragon Palace Hotel, a flicker of joy crossed Tian Qilin's eyes.
“Tian Wei has made a move! Haha, it seems Li Xiaotian is desperate. It’s a pity that before Tian Wei, only true powerhouses are worthy of blocking them. As for these ordinary martial artists, no matter how many there are, they are useless!”
“Young Master, if Li Xiaotian has an accident, the Dragon King’s Hall will surely blockade the surroundings. Why don’t I, your old servant, escort you away first? After Tian Wei catches Li Xiaotian, they can follow up.”
Ah San said, perhaps due to his intuition as a strong practitioner, he suddenly had a bad feeling after the voice came from the Dragon Palace Hotel.
“What are you afraid of? Don’t forget you are also a War God! Even if Li Xiaotian’s War Gods are all dispatched, what if his men discover me? Can these ants of theirs stop you?”
Tian Qilin reprimanded him, showing some displeasure, as he couldn’t wait to see Li Xiaotian’s miserable state!
Ah San couldn’t help but smile wryly. Suddenly, his heart tightened, and he felt a very dangerous sensation. He quickly scanned his surroundings.
Above their heads, Li Xiaotian descended from the sky, his palms striking towards Ah San. The latter was also a strong practitioner. Once he dealt with him, he could easily swat Tian Qilin to death.
“Damn it! Young Master, retreat!!” Ah San roared, grabbing Tian Qilin and pulling him back forcefully. At the same time, he threw a punch, meeting Li Xiaotian.
"Bang!"
"Crack!" The impact of Li Xiaotian's descent and his immense power caused Ah San's arm to explode instantly.
“Damn it!!” Ah San groaned in pain, but his eyes gleamed fiercely as he protected Tian Qilin and continued to retreat.
He had no time to think too much at the moment; his only thought was to protect Tian Qilin and escape, even at the cost of his own life.
“Li Xiaotian!! It’s you! How is this possible?! How can you be here?” Tian Qilin finally came back to his senses, his face filled with disbelief. He subconsciously looked at the Dragon Palace Hotel, then at Li Xiaotian, completely unable to comprehend how Li Xiaotian could be here when the five War Gods of Tian Wei were supposed to be occupied with him.
“Heh heh, the Tian family is too weak. I killed them casually. With such strength, they dare to be called royalty? Just trash!” Li Xiaotian taunted.
“Damn you! How dare you! The Tian family is not to be insulted!” Tian Qilin was immediately enraged. What he cared about was the dignity of the Tian family, and he completely forgot about why Li Xiaotian would be here.
“Retreat! Young Master!” Ah San roared, because Li Xiaotian was moving, and his speed was incredibly fast. If his arm hadn’t been crippled by Li Xiaotian’s sneak attack, he wouldn’t have feared the opponent. But now, he was solely focused on protecting Tian Qilin and escaping.
Ah San endured the pain and threw another punch, attempting to force Li Xiaotian back.
But Li Xiaotian pressed forward aggressively, taking Ah San’s punch and continuing his attack.
"Bang!" Ah San took another palm strike from Li Xiaotian and spat out blood.
“This… this… Ah San, what is going on with you, this servant?” Tian Qilin was stunned, filled with fear. Ah San was no match for Li Xiaotian, and if this continued, he would eventually be captured by Li Xiaotian.
“Young Master, don’t mind me, hurry and go! Your old servant will hold him off!” Ah San roared, lunging at Li Xiaotian. Li Xiaotian struck out with a palm, but the former endured the attack and charged forward.
“Is it worth exchanging your life for him to die a little later?” Li Xiaotian sneered, inwardly surprised by Ah San’s ferocity. Tian Qilin didn't treat him like a human at all, yet he was still fighting to the death to protect him. This made Li Xiaotian somewhat perplexed.
“Ah San! I order you to hold him off! Use your life to hold him off!” At this moment, Tian Qilin’s voice finally came through. He had already fled far away.
A hint of desolation flashed in Ah San’s eyes, but it was quickly replaced by ferocity as he stared intently at Li Xiaotian.
Li Xiaotian smiled. If the other party wanted to die, then he would send him on his way.
"Bang!" Ah San took another palm strike, but he didn't retreat, still gritting his teeth and attacking.
A killing intent flashed in Li Xiaotian's eyes, and he struck out with another palm.
This time, Ah San’s body flew backward, blood trickling from his mouth, and his aura rapidly declining.
Originally, even with one arm crippled, he still had the strength to fight Li Xiaotian. However, doing so would likely implicate Tian Qilin.
Therefore, he ignored everything else and focused solely on stopping Li Xiaotian.
Seeing Ah San motionless on the ground, Li Xiaotian prepared to pursue Tian Qilin. The latter’s strength was mediocre; even if he fled with all his might, he had only covered a few hundred meters in this short time.
“Young Master! Go!!” Suddenly, just as Li Xiaotian leaped over Ah San, the latter struggled and grabbed Li Xiaotian’s leg.
Li Xiaotian’s eyes flashed with anger at the sight.
"Slap!" He struck out with a palm, causing Ah San to spit blood, but he refused to let go.
“Let go!” Li Xiaotian said, feeling a bit of respect for the man’s spirit.
Ah San remained silent, unmoving.
“Heh heh, he can’t escape. He doesn’t even have the strength of a General. Do you think he can get away?” Li Xiaotian sneered, conjuring a dagger in his hand. He then channeled his true qi and threw it towards the fleeing Tian Qilin in the distance.
“No!!” Ah San roared, his face filled with rage, and he glared defiantly at Li Xiaotian.
In the distance, Tian Qilin let out a pained cry and fell directly to the ground.
“Ah San!! You damn dog servant! I told you to hold Li Xiaotian off! Use your life to hold him off! You deserve to die! You useless wretch, to let him wound me!”
From a distance, Tian Qilin’s furious scolding could be heard. Li Xiaotian looked down at Ah San. The latter had fought desperately to protect Tian Qilin, only to be met with his master’s reprimand. Li Xiaotian wondered if Ah San felt it was worth it.
“You! Despicable! A War God using a hidden weapon to sneak attack my young master!” Ah San gritted out.
Li Xiaotian shook his head speechlessly. Despicable? Having grown up in the war zone, he considered using any means necessary to kill an opponent perfectly normal.
“Slap!” Li Xiaotian struck Ah San on the head. The latter died instantly. Initially, he had intended to spare Ah San, considering his devotion to his master. But now, alas, the pitiable often had their hateful aspects.
With Ah San dead, Li Xiaotian leisurely walked towards Tian Qilin. The dagger from earlier had surprisingly not killed the man, which was unexpected for Li Xiaotian, as he rarely missed his targets.
“Li Xiaotian!! Don’t come any closer! Don’t come any closer! I am the young master of the Tian family! If anything happens to me, the Tian family will never forgive you!” Tian Qilin’s voice was filled with terror as he crawled forward to escape, his heart brimming with humiliation and fear. Li Xiaotian’s previous strike had hit him directly in the buttocks, causing unbearable pain. His legs were crippled, and he couldn't get up.
Li Xiaotian approached Tian Qilin with a cold smile. Who would have thought that on their first meeting, Tian Qilin had stood above them and casually threatened Li Xiaotian and the others to kneel for their lives, but now, the former was in such a sorry state.
Just as Li Xiaotian was about fifty meters away from Tian Qilin, he suddenly stopped, his gaze shifting forward with vigilance.
