The battle instantly escalated to a fierce intensity. Li Xiaotian moved like a tiger passing through, unstoppable wherever he went.
Next was Long Yi, who charged forward like a maddened beast.
Inside the manor, Old Master Zhao watched this scene, his heart growing cold. He couldn't help but ask Zhao Tiancheng beside him,
“When will War God Long Batian arrive? I didn't expect this bastard Li Xiaotian to be so formidable, and the people he brought are also not weak.”
Zhao Tiancheng’s face was pale. In just a short while, over a hundred people had fallen in the courtyard, their fates unknown. Li Xiaotian and his group were unharmed, and they seemed to be getting stronger as the fight went on.
“The Li family just called, saying they've notified the War God. He should be here soon,”
Zhao Tiancheng replied. He then looked at the situation in the courtyard and said with some worry,
“With our five hundred men, we should be able to take down Li Xiaotian and his group, right?”
No one answered his question. Old Master Zhao remained silent, staring intently at Li Xiaotian in the crowd. As if recalling something, he quickly ordered Zhao Tiancheng behind him,
“Send someone to bring that unfilial daughter and her child here! I don't believe Li Xiaotian can continue fighting like this when facing his wife and daughter!”
Zhao Tiancheng’s eyes lit up at this. He immediately entered the rear courtyard.
At this moment in the courtyard, the guards from various families were intimidated by Li Xiaotian and his group. Ten men were taking on over five hundred, and more than a hundred had already been taken down.
At this moment, many guards flinched and dared not face Li Xiaotian and his men directly.
“Kill them all! Whoever kills one of them, our Zhao family will reward them five million!” Old Master Zhao shouted, his anxiety rising. He couldn’t believe that Li Xiaotian could still suppress their Zhao family tonight as he had in the past.
“Kill! Let’s fight them to the death, we have more men, we can outlast them!” a guard shouted, stimulated by the five million reward from Old Master Zhao.
Suddenly, the dense crowd surrounded Li Xiaotian and his group again.
“Hmph! Overestimating yourselves!” Li Xiaotian sneered. He looked at Old Master Zhao in the distance, felling those blocking his path as he advanced towards him.
Old Master Zhao’s face turned pale as he saw this. As Li Xiaotian got closer, he was about to turn and retreat when his eyes caught Zhao Tiancheng bringing Ye Qingmei and her daughter, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Li Xiaotian, kneel down! Otherwise, I’ll make sure you’re separated from your wife and children!” Old Master Zhao said with a cold smile, pointing at Ye Qingmei and her daughter who were being escorted over.
“Xiaotian, hurry, hurry and leave!” Ye Qingmei, covered in wounds, and Tiantian, hiding fearfully in her arms, cried out.
“Ah!” Li Xiaotian’s eyes instantly turned red upon seeing this, and a boundless, terrifying aura of malevolence erupted from him.
“Kneel! Otherwise, your daughter dies immediately!” Old Master Zhao threatened.
Li Xiaotian’s breathing grew heavy. He glared fiercely at Old Master Zhao, then looked at Ye Qingmei and her daughter with remorse.
“Daddy, come and save Mommy and me, Tiantian is scared,呜呜.” Tiantian cried out from within Ye Qingmei’s embrace.
Seeing this, Li Xiaotian’s heart felt as if it were being pierced by needles.
Long Yi and the others were even more enraged, their eyes turning red. When had their Dragon King Hall ever been subjected to such coercion?
“Have you considered the consequences of doing this?” Li Xiaotian slowly raised his head, staring intently at Old Master Zhao.
“Presumptuous! I told you to kneel, and you dare to question me?” Old Master Zhao roared, inwardly sneering. He knew that threatening Li Xiaotian with his wife and daughter was definitely an effective method.
Li Xiaotian trembled, suppressing the killing intent in his heart. He glanced at Old Master Zhao, then at Ye Qingmei and her daughter being held in the distance, planning his next move.
At the same time, Long Yi and the others surrounded Li Xiaotian, all looking at Old Master Zhao with anger.
“Heh, Li Xiaotian, aren’t you going to kneel? Do you really want to see your daughter die before your eyes?” Zhao Tiancheng, holding a dagger and gesturing around Ye Qingmei and her daughter, said with a cold laugh from a distance.
Li Xiaotian suddenly looked at Zhao Tiancheng, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He roared,
“Long Yi!!”
Upon hearing this, Long Yi and the others gathered around Li Xiaotian. Then, the few of them quickly formed a circle, lifted Li Xiaotian together, and with a “whoosh,” hurled him forward.
This series of actions took less than a second. Before the Zhao family and the surrounding guards could react, they saw Li Xiaotian flying high into the air, charging towards Zhao Tiancheng.
“Quick, quick, quick!! Stop him!!” Zhao Tiancheng’s face turned pale.
“Stop him! Kill that unfilial daughter and her child, and protect the family head!!” Old Master Zhao also panicked, shouting with all his might.
But, it was too late.
“Bang!” Li Xiaotian landed in front of Zhao Tiancheng. With a few kicks, he sent the intervening guards flying, stood beside Ye Qingmei and her daughter, and then grabbed Zhao Tiancheng’s neck with one hand, lifting him high.
“You were threatening me with my daughter’s life just now?” Li Xiaotian’s voice was filled with rage as he tightly gripped Zhao Tiancheng.
“Cough, cough! You. Let go of me!! Let me go!!” Zhao Tiancheng struggled to speak, his face turning red.
“Li Xiaotian! You are courting death! Release our Zhao family head immediately! Otherwise, none of you will leave here alive tonight!” Old Master Zhao roared, his face flushed with shame. The Zhao family head had been captured by Li Xiaotian, a humiliation like never before. He shouted at the guards beside him.
“Hurry and charge over, rescue Tiancheng! Kill Li Xiaotian, kill his entire family!!”
But in the next moment, Old Master Zhao’s voice was choked in his throat. His finger trembled as he pointed at Li Xiaotian, his face filled with disbelief.
Because just moments ago, Li Xiaotian had tightened his grip, directly snapping Zhao Tiancheng’s neck. Zhao Tiancheng was dead!
“You! You killed him? How dare you kill him?!” Old Master Zhao roared, his face crimson. The head of his Zhao family had been killed by Li Xiaotian! In the courtyard of his own Zhao family!
“Long Yi, clear the way!” Li Xiaotian glanced coldly at Old Master Zhao and then instructed Long Yi. If it weren’t for Uncle Fu’s instructions, he would have wiped out the entire Zhao family tonight.
“Yes! King!” Long Yi shouted, feeling relieved. The madam and the little princess were safe, and that was the most important thing.
Li Xiaotian gently picked up Ye Qingmei, who was extremely weak. Tiantian had also fallen asleep after her father arrived. Both mother and daughter had been severely frightened this night.
“Xiaotian, and Aunt Fang.” Ye Qingmei said weakly.
“Don’t worry, I’m here. You don’t need to worry about anything,” Li Xiaotian said in a gentle voice.
