Li Xiaotian sneered as he watched the dozen or so Beast Emperors attacking him.
An encirclement? It was a good opportunity to test the Dragon King Hall's defenses!
"Roar!" Led by the Flood Dragon, the attacks of over ten Beast Emperors rained down. Seeing that Li Xiaotian didn't flee, their eyes were filled with coldness and disdain.
With so many Emperor-level attacks, no one below the Heaven level dared to face them head-on.
"Buzz!" Suddenly, just as the Flood Dragon and the other Beast Emperors' attacks were about to land on Li Xiaotian, a black mist erupted from his body. Immediately, the Dragon King Hall appeared, blocking the attacks from the Flood Dragon and the other Beast Emperors, only to be instantly retracted by Li Xiaotian.
It flashed and disappeared, its speed so immense that the Flood Dragon and the other Beast Emperors couldn't react.
"What?!?! This is impossible!!" the Flood Dragon roared, its eyes filled with disbelief. The other Beast Emperors were also stunned; their attacks had been instantly neutralized by Li Xiaotian.
In the distance, those who had been observing Li Xiaotian's battle were all filled with shock. They had expected Li Xiaotian to dodge the attacks of over ten Beast Emperors, but they never imagined he would neutralize them in such an incredible way.
"How did he do that?" Jian Lin asked, utterly perplexed.
"With the Heavenly Stele in his hand, could it be the Heavenly Stele?" someone whispered among Liu Neng and the others in the distance.
"No! In ancient times, no one could comprehend such a method from the Heavenly Stele! It must be that black mist. Li Xiaotian definitely possesses other treasures! Don't forget where he came from!"
The Old Ancestor of the Tian family roared. They all knew that Li Xiaotian had entered a barrier created by a Heaven-level expert.
"First the Heavenly Stele, then such a defensive treasure, Li Xiaotian's luck is too good! Moreover, his strength has already reached the mid-Emperor level!"
Someone murmured enviously. Li Xiaotian, a young man in his twenties, was considered an ant in their eyes, yet he made these old fossils feel inferior.
Meanwhile, Li Xiaotian, after neutralizing the Flood Dragon's attack, instantly sent out the Heavenly Stele to intercept a Beast Emperor before quickly rushing forward.
"Roar!" It was a Giant Bat Beast Emperor, immense in size, with a pair of wings that blotted out the sky. It fiercely resisted Li Xiaotian's attack.
But it was only at the mid-Emperor level, not even as strong as the first Giant Wolf Li Xiaotian had killed.
"Die!" Li Xiaotian unleashed a punch, striking directly at the Giant Bat Beast Emperor's abdomen, shattering its heart.
"Bang!" A spray of blood erupted from the Giant Bat Beast Emperor's abdomen, and it plummeted to the ground!
Another Beast Emperor dead! This was the second Beast Emperor Li Xiaotian had killed since his appearance!
"Roar! Damn you! Human, we will kill you!" the Flood Dragon roared, its eyes bloodshot. Its body began to grow wildly. Li Xiaotian had killed two of their Beast Emperors in succession, which had undoubtedly ignited the fury of all the Beast Emperors.
At this moment, almost all the Beast Emperors on the battlefield charged towards Li Xiaotian.
A fighting spirit flashed in Li Xiaotian's eyes. He had cultivated in the Demon Lord's barrier for so long, and he had never truly tested his combat power. Now that he was out, he wanted to fight to his heart's content.
In the distance, Liu Neng and the others were all deeply shocked, especially the Emperor-level cultivators below the mid-Emperor level. Their expressions changed.
Li Xiaotian had consecutively killed two Beast Emperors in seconds, which meant he also possessed the strength to kill them in seconds. Unbeknownst to them, Li Xiaotian's strength had already become so formidable.
"The Heavenly Stele! It must be the Heavenly Stele! Only the Heavenly Stele could allow him to cultivate so quickly!" the Old Ancestor of the Tian family gritted his teeth, a flicker of apprehension and killing intent in his eyes. Li Xiaotian made him feel a sense of crisis. After all, his Tian family had a deep-seated feud with Li Xiaotian.
"Hiss! Look at Li Xiaotian's subordinates, they also seem different from ordinary cultivators!"
Someone exclaimed, pointing at the battlefield below. Behind the warriors of the Dragon King Hall, mountains of corpses and seas of blood were piled high, with countless demonic beasts slain. The casualties of the Dragon King Hall seemed to be minimal, with hardly any significant changes.
They moved with perfect coordination, as if they had rehearsed, pushing forward step by step, eliminating every demonic beast that stood in their way.
"What did Li Xiaotian and his group encounter in the past six months? Did they obtain an incredible opportunity? This is too terrifying!"
Someone whispered, their eyes filled with envy and apprehension at the twenty thousand King-level cultivators, all of whom were top-tier among the King level.
"So many demonic beasts have died." someone said, their tone full of envy.
Many had died? Everyone was startled, but then they came to their senses. Yes, so many demonic beasts had died, and quite a few Beast Emperors among them.
At this moment, everyone's eyes turned red with avarice, their breathing growing rapid. After all, demonic beasts were treasures from head to toe. Their blood could enhance physique, their bones could be used to forge weapons, and their flesh and blood were the best energy food.
And at this moment, the battlefield was covered in piles of demonic beast corpses. There were also some rare demonic beasts, whose entire bodies were extremely precious.
At this moment, Liu Neng and the others were green with envy. Before, they were envious of Li Xiaotian because he had the Heavenly Stele. Now, they were envious of the demonic beast corpses because these could be directly utilized. In ancient times, demonic beasts liked to devour humans, and humans also preferred hunting demonic beasts!
Unfortunately, they could only be envious, as they had cut off their own retreat from the very beginning.
"Die!" In the air, Li Xiaotian killed another Beast Emperor, directly crushing it with the Heavenly Stele. This was the third Beast Emperor he had killed.
At this moment, even if Liu Neng and the others had been unwilling to accept Li Xiaotian's progress before, they could only now tacitly acknowledge his strength.
Killing three Beast Emperors in succession, although they were all early and mid-Emperor level, they were still considered strong among the awakened Emperor level.
The Flood Dragon and the other Beast Emperors were driven mad, burning their energy recklessly and attacking Li Xiaotian ferociously.
They had held the advantage and thought they could destroy the capital of Daqin today, but who could have imagined that the appearance of Li Xiaotian would completely reverse the tide of battle?
"Roar! Attack the human city! Leave this human to me!"
The Flood Dragon roared. It had a clear view of the situation. With so many Beast Emperors on its side, all tied down by Li Xiaotian alone, and the opponent possessing terrifying defensive means, prolonging this entanglement was extremely disadvantageous to them.
Following the Flood Dragon's command, the Beast Emperors in the sky turned their directions and charged towards the city walls.
"Damn it!" Jian Lin and the others' faces changed drastically upon seeing this. They had been hoping Li Xiaotian could keep these Beast Emperors occupied for a little longer, but they never expected the Flood Dragon to react so quickly.
"Stop them!" Jian Lin roared.
At the same time, the demonic beasts on the ground launched another assault, but the people of the Dragon King Hall had already passed through the beast horde and were now standing with their backs to the city wall, intercepting the beast tide.
"Kill!!!" Long Yi roared. The twenty thousand soldiers of the Dragon King Hall, moving in unison, engaged in frenzied slaughter, preventing the beast tide from advancing.
"Roar!" A Beast Emperor noticed this scene and directly charged towards the ground.
Although Li Xiaotian's appearance had disrupted the demonic beasts' offensive, there were simply too many of them. The once favorable situation was once again turning against the humans.
However, at this moment, Li Xiaotian and Jian Lin and the others were all entangled by their opponents, unable to spare their hands to assist in the ground battle.
"Buzz!" Just then, a world-shattering sword cry resounded through the sky.
