The onlookers, having seen all of Long Batian’s subordinates fall, were initially shocked. But upon hearing Long Batian declare he would act personally, their expressions became excited.
With the War God making a move, Li Xiaotian and his men wouldn’t even have a chance to resist!
“Haha, with the War God taking action, Li Xiaotian, you can be proud to die at his hands.” Li Weihai laughed heartily.
“Indeed, with the War God himself intervening, Li Xiaotian has no chance to fight back. This is a case of good triumphing over evil! Li Xiaotian’s reckless behavior is his just desserts!”
“Li Xiaotian, you still have a chance to kowtow and beg for forgiveness. Perhaps the War God will be pleased and let you live a little longer, haha.” Old Master Zhao roared with laughter. Since Long Batian was acting personally, there was no need to speculate about the outcome; it was a foregone conclusion.
“That’s right! Li Xiaotian, all of you should kneel and beg for mercy now. Perhaps the War God will show leniency and merely cripple your limbs, allowing you to continue living!”
Li Xiaotian regarded those speaking with a cold gaze, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. He turned to Long Batian, his tone dismissive, “Have you thought it through? If you make a move, there’s no turning back.”
After all, Long Batian was the War God of the Great Qin Empire and a subordinate of Li Shanhai. If Li Xiaotian were to kill him casually, while Li Shanhai wouldn’t dare to object, he had always been respectful. Killing his subordinate would be a loss of face.
“What? Are you scared?” Long Batian scoffed, looking at Li Xiaotian as if he were already dead. He walked towards Li Xiaotian, saying, “It’s a pity it’s too late. You’ve successfully angered me. If I want to kill you, you must die. Tonight, no one can save you, no matter who comes!”
*Boom!!* As soon as the words fell, an astonishing aura erupted from Long Batian. In the eyes of everyone present, Long Batian now resembled a colossal giant, with his hands supporting the heavens and his feet planted firmly on the ground, radiating an oppressive presence.
This was the strength of a War God!
“Die!” Long Batian snarled, instantly lunging at Li Xiaotian. He moved so fast that the onlookers could only perceive a blur of black.
The entire venue, all the people, watched this scene with excitement, as if they could already foresee the next moment: Li Xiaotian kneeling and begging for mercy!
At this instant, members of the Li, Zhao, Zhang, and other families who had enmity with Li Xiaotian laughed with glee, their laughter unrestrained and triumphant, a feeling of immense satisfaction washing over them.
Li Xiaotian stared coldly at the rapidly approaching Long Batian, his mockery deepening. As Long Batian’s fist was about to strike him, Li Xiaotian suddenly lifted his leg and kicked Long Batian directly in the chest.
*“Bang!”* With a thunderous impact, Long Batian was sent flying backward, his face filled with shock and disbelief.
*“Boom!”* Long Batian crashed through a cluster of tables and chairs, then involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood. At this moment, he panicked!
The venue fell silent once more, everyone staring blankly at the unfolding scene. Some even rubbed their eyes multiple times in disbelief.
War God Long Batian had been kicked flying by Li Xiaotian with a single kick?!!
How was this possible?
After all, Long Batian was the newly appointed War God of the Great Qin Empire, possessing terrifying strength. Yet now, he had been sent flying by Li Xiaotian’s kick! And he had even coughed up blood!
The War God… defeated?
“No!! This isn’t real! This isn’t real!” Old Master Zhao collapsed on the spot. If Long Batian was defeated, wouldn’t their Zhao family be finished?
“Batian, my War God husband! How could you be defeated?” Lin Chu’s face turned pale, her body trembling. Her idol, her spiritual pillar, had actually been defeated?
Even Long Batian himself looked incredulous. He had never lost since joining the War Department! But now, he had been defeated by a single kick!
“Pah! War God? What a joke! Look at how arrogant you were before. If my elder brother hadn’t forbidden me from acting, I would have finished you with a single punch!” Long Yi said disdainfully.
“How is this possible? I don’t believe it! I refuse to believe it!!” Long Batian roared frantically, his eyes bloodshot, glaring intently at Li Xiaotian. Tonight was supposed to be his stage, his moment to shine, but now he had become Li Xiaotian’s foil, a mere laughingstock.
“I’ve trampled more ants like you than I can count, eighty if not a hundred!” Li Xiaotian said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, the onlookers held their breath, a cold sweat breaking out on their backs. How could a War God be described in such terms by Li Xiaotian? Trampled eighty if not a hundred? When did War Gods become so weak?
Most of the people present felt as though they were dreaming. Especially the younger generation who had Long Batian as their role model; their faith had just collapsed.
There were also some women whose eyes turned red. Their idol, the man of their dreams, had been so easily defeated!
“Arghhh!! I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! I’m going to kill you!!” Long Batian surged to his feet and charged at Li Xiaotian again. He could not accept the previous outcome! He was a War God, a true powerhouse; he would not allow himself to fail!
But what happened next completely shocked everyone present.
As Long Batian charged towards Li Xiaotian, Long Yi suddenly blocked their path. Long Batian intended to punch him to death, but to his surprise, Long Yi was faster. He extended a hand and fiercely struck Long Batian’s face.
*“Slap!”* Long Batian’s teeth shattered, and his body spun in mid-air before being thrown to the side!
*“Hiss!”* Countless people gasped in unison. While Li Xiaotian’s kick had shocked them earlier, they never imagined that even one of Li Xiaotian’s subordinates could so easily defeat the War God.
What did this imply? It implied that Li Xiaotian and his subordinates were all War Gods!
“If you don’t believe it, what else can you do? You piece of trash. My elder brother could have killed you with a single kick, but he didn’t. Not only are you ungrateful, but you still want to challenge my elder brother again? Are you worthy of that?” Long Yi sneered.
Long Batian struggled to rise, his face filled with despair. Being casually defeated by two people in succession had completely shattered his confidence.
Meanwhile, the Li and Zhao families, among others, turned pale. They had never anticipated such an outcome. The Long Batian, whom they had believed would guarantee victory, had been defeated so utterly after making his move?
They could not accept such a result.
Li Weihai narrowed his eyes. Li Xiaotian’s strength was truly astounding. If he were determined to destroy their Li family, it would be a grave concern.
“Li Xiaotian, your death date has arrived! Even if you are a War God, so what? For injuring our Great Qin’s War God in the capital, you deserve death! The War Department will not forgive you! Great Qin will not forgive you either! You wounded our hero, on what grounds?” Zhao Lu suddenly shouted from the crowd, her eyes filled with malice.
