The joint assassination attempt by two King-level killers from the Assassin Alliance on Li Xiaotian resulted in Li Xiaotian being surrounded for less than half an hour.
Both attackers were ultimately killed by Li Xiaotian's overwhelming power.
"Kill!" Li Xiaotian roared, and continued to charge towards the surrounding enemies.
As Li Xiaotian moved, all the Dragon King Hall warriors on the battlefield were instantly filled with fighting spirit. They charged towards the enemy, shouting loudly.
Their King was still fighting and charging; how could they hold their King back?
The battlefield was awash in slaughter. The Dragon King Hall forces fought with even greater frenzy, as Li Xiaotian's presence on the battlefield fueled them with endless motivation.
In contrast, the Assassin Alliance began to show signs of weakness. Their War God killers were entangled by their opponents, and the two King-level killers had already been killed by the Dragon King. Now, their side had no top-tier combat power left!
On another battlefield, flames erupted everywhere, and both sides' positions were in ruins. The Dragon King Hall's outer defenses had all turned into rubble.
The Assassin Alliance was not faring any better. As the attacking force, their defensive strength was relatively weaker, resulting in heavy losses.
Both sides had truly ignited their fury at this moment. The battle had reached this stage, and neither side had any way to retreat.
The Dragon King Hall would not and could not retreat, as their headquarters lay behind them. The Assassin Alliance members dared not retreat; if they did, the Dragon King Hall forces would pursue them until they breached their base.
Major powers outside, who had been closely following the battle, waited patiently. They could not obtain the latest news from the battlefield and could only send their scouts to investigate.
The sky gradually grew cooler. The battle had raged all night and showed no signs of ceasing.
However, under these circumstances, some top powers in the war zone were already orderly gathering their forces.
The outcome of this battle would influence their decisions.
At this moment, the brutality of the war zone was fully exposed. The loser would not only face the victor's judgment but also endure the other forces in the war zone taking advantage of the situation.
This was a tradition of the war zone.
Meanwhile, at the Assassin Alliance's main base, everyone in the meeting room stared silently at the latest situation reports from the battlefield.
Even though the individuals present were virtual images, they still exuded an oppressive and infuriating aura.
"A miscalculation! Alas!" the elder at position one sighed softly.
The others stirred slightly. They had indeed underestimated the Dragon King Hall in this counterattack. The deployed forces were insufficient to overwhelm the Dragon King Hall, and judging by the current situation, they were likely to fail.
"What should we do? Half of the Alliance's strength has already been dispatched. We never expected the Dragon King Hall's power to be greater than the thirty War God Alliance of that year," someone said, their tone filled with confusion.
"What else can we do? Are you all fools? We should dispatch more troops at this moment! Send out all our ace assassins. Only then will we have a chance to completely annihilate the Dragon King Hall!"
Number Eight immediately shouted, his voice filled with anger. He had said yesterday that half of the Alliance was no match for the Dragon King Hall. Now, a battle that had a chance of victory had been ruined by their own people.
"Send them all out? That would leave us with no defensive strength. If any of our bases are discovered, they would be annihilated. I think we should lie low and wait for another opportunity to counterattack!"
Someone immediately refuted, disagreeing with Number Eight's idea. After all, some of the Alliance's bases were crucial and required constant guarding. More importantly, if all their forces were dispatched and they failed, their Alliance would truly be finished.
"That's right, we can't send them all out. I think we should focus on developing in secret. The Dragon King Hall is currently at its peak, but it will inevitably have its downturn. Our Alliance has existed for hundreds of years; no force understands how to grow stronger in obscurity better than us!"
"I agree. I think we made a mistake from the start. We shouldn't have initiated a frontal war with the Dragon King Hall. We forgot our advantages. I believe that even if we are defeated tonight, it doesn't mean the Alliance is defeated. In future wars, we should leverage our strengths and make good use of the assassin card!"
Even now, most of those present did not believe that the defeat in tonight's battle would have any impact on the Alliance.
Or rather, the Assassin Alliance had existed for too long. The current Alliance lacked the drive of its early days and dared not take further risks.
They were only concerned with their own interests and feared the dire consequences of failure, unwilling to go all out.
"Do you think the Dragon King Hall will spare us after winning tonight? Or do you naively believe that even if we are ultimately no match for the Dragon King Hall, we can negotiate with them and continue to eke out an existence?" Number Eight sneered, his voice filled with anger.
"Number Eight, you've gone too far. Young people are too impulsive. You've inherited your father's position, but your understanding of the war zone is still nascent. We are far more familiar with it than you are. Therefore, it's best to put away your temper!"
Someone reprimanded, expressing their displeasure with Number Eight's attitude. In their opinion, Number Eight was still too young and naive. In this world, only interests were eternal. They did not believe that as long as the Alliance paid a sufficient price, the Dragon King Hall would not engage them in a death struggle.
"Enough!" The leader at position one spoke, slamming his desk heavily. Then, he looked at those around him and said in a deep voice.
"Stop arguing. The counterattack tonight was our mistake, and we all must take responsibility for it. As for Number Eight's suggestion to send reinforcements, I don't think it's necessary. If the direction is already wrong, we cannot make another mistake!"
"After tonight, all assassins will act independently. Send out the ace assassins and let them hunt. The Alliance's dignity must be defended, and the Dragon King Hall must be annihilated!"
After Number One finished speaking, everyone present fell silent. No one objected, clearly agreeing with Number One's decision.
"You will regret this! You will definitely regret it!" Number Eight gritted his teeth and said, then directly shut down his virtual image. In his opinion, even Number One's plan could not save the Alliance from its impending failure.
The Alliance's chance of victory lay tonight. If they missed this opportunity, with the remaining half of the Alliance's strength, they would be no match for the Dragon King Hall.
They had missed their only chance!
On the battlefield at this moment, everyone was in a blood frenzy. The four commanders of the Dark Night were all injured. Similarly, their enemies were also only four individuals.
Long Shiwu had a fierce wound on his face, his clothes were tattered, and his body was stained with blood.
His opponent, Sha Sheng, had his long saber broken, one arm crippled, and his breath was weak. However, his eyes were already shining with golden light, brewing his strongest attack!
