"Damn you! Li Xiaotian, I'll kill you!"
The long-haired elder yelled, being toyed with by a King-level expert like this would anger anyone, no matter how good their temper.
"Rumble!" Two Emperor-level powerhouses unleashed their terrifying auras. They accelerated instantly, and the distance between them and Li Xiaotian was rapidly shrinking.
Li Xiaotian's brows furrowed. He had to find a way to deal with these two, otherwise, if this continued, more Emperor-level experts would detect the commotion.
"Buzz!" The Heavenly Tablet rumbled, flashing with light.
"You're forcing my hand! Let's all die together!" Li Xiaotian shouted. The fluctuations from the Heavenly Tablet grew increasingly intense, as if it were about to self-detonate at any moment.
"Damn it!" The long-haired elder cursed, quickly retreating with his companion. This Li Xiaotian had gone mad!
"Whoosh!" Seeing this, Li Xiaotian swiftly recalled the Heavenly Tablet and fled again. At this moment, his blood boiled, and his speed reached its limit.
"I'll go to hell for this!!" The long-haired elder and his companion couldn't help but curse profusely. They had never been toyed with like this before.
"Li Xiaotian, don't push us. At worst, we'll abandon the Heavenly Tablet but still kill you and destroy your Dragon King Hall!"
The long-haired elder roared, his eyes bloodshot. They were truly enraged.
Emperor-level experts were not to be provoked!
Even in ancient times, when powerhouses were everywhere, Emperor-level experts were considered strong and respected. Never had a weakling dared to provoke a strong expert like this.
The two parties chased each other through the forest. Before long, Li Xiaotian spotted Long Yi and the others who had left earlier.
Seeing Long Yi and the others, Li Xiaotian's heart sank.
Because above Long Yi and his group, an Emperor-level expert was floating in the air.
"King! Brother!" Long Yi and the others shouted upon seeing Li Xiaotian, their faces filled with apology. They had traveled as fast as they could, but unexpectedly, they had also encountered an Emperor-level expert.
At this moment, the two Emperor-level experts pursuing Li Xiaotian also stopped, a cold smile in their eyes.
"Li Xiaotian, you can't escape this time!"
"Two Elders!" The Emperor-level expert above Long Yi spoke. He was a middle-aged man, allied with the long-haired elder.
From the beginning, the long-haired elder and his two companions had no intention of letting any of Li Xiaotian's people go.
When they had let Long Yi and the others leave, they were not worried at all, because their people were waiting ahead.
Li Xiaotian's expression turned grim. He stopped, the Heavenly Tablet shrinking and held in his hand. This time, he couldn't escape.
They were still an hour's journey from their destination. For them to survive this hour safely, the difficulty was immense, and hope was practically nil.
Li Xiaotian stood his ground, looking at the middle-aged man blocking their path ahead, and then at the two Emperor-level experts relentlessly pursuing him from behind. His face was a picture of distress.
"Run! Li Xiaotian, aren't you good at running? Hurry up and run! If you run, we'll kill all your people! Heh heh!"
The long-haired elder sneered, his expression full of disdain.
"Li, hand over the stone tablet, and we'll give you a complete corpse!" Elder Qi said mockingly.
Li Xiaotian tightly gripped the Heavenly Tablet and spoke.
"Let them go, and I'll keep my word this time!"
"Heh, do you have the qualifications to negotiate?"
From behind, the middle-aged Emperor-level expert spoke with a cold laugh. With a casual wave of his hand, a massive palm appeared above Long Yi and the others, seemingly ready to descend at any moment.
"Hurry and hand over the Heavenly Tablet, or I'll kill a few people for fun first!" the middle-aged Emperor-level expert said coldly.
Li Xiaotian's eyes flashed with ferocity. He had no choice.
"Fine, since you're forcing me, don't blame me!"
Li Xiaotian gritted his teeth and threw the Heavenly Tablet towards the sky.
The three Emperor-level experts from the Desolate Palace all made their move to seize it.
"Long Yi, no matter what happens, keep running!"
Li Xiaotian shouted, then with a thought, the Heavenly Tablet flying towards the sky instantly enlarged, emitting a blinding light.
"The Heavenly Tablet is here! Anyone who wants it, come and get it!"
Li Xiaotian yelled with all his might. Since escape was difficult, he decided to make the situation even worse, attracting other Emperor-level experts. Then, with chaotic battles everywhere, he might find a sliver of hope!
"Insolent!"
"Li Xiaotian, you deserve to die!" The three Emperor-level powerhouses from the Desolate Palace were shocked. They had been so cautious, not intending to kill immediately, precisely to avoid being discovered. But now, Li Xiaotian was completely unpredictable, exposing their location himself.
Instantly, waves of energy echoed from the distance.
Seeing this, the three, while snatching the Heavenly Tablet, viciously attacked Li Xiaotian and his group.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three giant palms descended.
"Run! Don't look back!" Li Xiaotian roared, unleashing a powerful aura from his body as he met them head-on.
"Run!" Long Yi gritted his teeth, leading his people to flee desperately.
"Rumble!" With a colossal palm strike, Li Xiaotian's body was smashed into the ground, creating a large crater. Meanwhile, more than a dozen of Long Yi's group, who couldn't escape in time, were killed on the spot.
"Cough! Cough!" Li Xiaotian forcefully got up. Seeing this, his eyes turned red. He had tried his best to protect his people, yet people still died.
"Run! Live!" Li Xiaotian shouted!
"Run? Huang Sheng, go and kill them!" The long-haired elder, holding the stone tablet with one hand in the sky, commanded the middle-aged Emperor-level expert.
In the distance, four streaks of light were rapidly approaching. They had been discovered.
"Whoosh!" The middle-aged Emperor-level expert, Huang Sheng, flew towards Long Yi and the others. Li Xiaotian gritted his teeth and lifted a large boulder, throwing it at him.
"Boom!" The boulder was casually shattered by Huang Sheng, who was getting closer and closer to Long Yi and his group.
"How dare you!" Li Xiaotian roared, accelerating and charging towards Huang Sheng, but he was still a step too late.
"You guys escape!" In Long Yi's team, a commander led over a dozen people, turning their backs and charging towards Huang Sheng without hesitation. They intended to buy Long Yi and the others a chance to escape with their lives.
"Run! All of you, run with all your might!" Long Yi gritted his teeth and yelled, his eyes already red. He wanted to fight, but he knew that their group was no match for the enemy. If they were even a step slower, they might all be annihilated.
"Boom!" Huang Sheng's palm strike killed the obstructing individuals, only momentarily slowing his speed.
"Ahhh! I'll kill you!!" Li Xiaotian roared. By this time, he had arrived and was desperately charging towards Huang Sheng.
"Ant!" Huang Sheng snorted coldly and swung a palm, preparing to kill Li Xiaotian.
But unexpectedly, Li Xiaotian let out a furious roar, his blood boiling. The blood of the fallen Dragon King Hall members, which had spilled onto the ground, all flew towards his body.
At this moment, to enhance his strength and to buy time for Long Yi and the others to escape, Li Xiaotian had activated the Blood Sea cultivation technique!
