Li Bing’s heart burned with rage. He never expected that Li Xiaotian, knowing full well his Heavenly Army was returning, would dare to kill his men and Li Chaoyue at this very moment.
The audacity was beyond comprehension!
He had dispatched people to seal off all city exits specifically to prevent Li Xiaotian from escaping, yet the man hadn’t fled. Instead, he continued to provoke the Li family!
He was furious! He wanted to kill! Disregarding the elder’s orders, he now only wanted to find Li Xiaotian and torture him to death!
Just then, a figure dashed out from a nearby corner. He was a member of the Heavenly Army, lurking in the vicinity to gather intelligence. When Li Chaoyue had engaged Li Xiaotian’s men earlier, he had intended to join the fight, but the battle ended before he could make a move, so he had remained in hiding.
“Heavenly King! Your subordinate has already informed the brethren lurking nearby of Li Xiaotian’s group’s whereabouts, and we have just received the location where Li Xiaotian is hiding.”
Li Bing’s eyes flashed, and a sinister smile spread across his face.
“Good! Good! Finally caught this bastard!”
“Lead the way! Today, I will kill this bastard!”
“Yes!”
Li Bing and his entourage set off in a grand procession, and as they advanced, more people joined their ranks.
In just over ten minutes, Li Bing’s convoy had grown to hundreds of vehicles, with over five hundred people.
Along the way, they followed Li Xiaotian’s return route, disregarding all traffic rules. Even vehicles blocking their path were brutally shoved aside.
Countless passersby scattered, and no one dared to step forward to stop them.
It wasn’t until they spotted the four large signs of the Dragon Palace Hotel that an elder appeared at the forefront of the convoy, attempting to block their path.
“Ram them!” Li Bing commanded his subordinates without even looking.
But as soon as he spoke, figures surged from the surrounding buildings and alleyways.
Li Bing’s eyes widened sharply. Those blocking their path were wearing the uniforms of the Great Qin War Department!
“Stop! Stop immediately!!” Li Bing roared. He was a shrewd man; he could act with impunity in the capital, but he could not offend the War Department, the symbol of Great Qin’s military might.
Li Bing then looked directly at the elder blocking their path. Upon seeing the elder’s face, his own expression filled with shock, for the person blocking them was none other than Li Shanhai, the First Commander of the War Department!
“Get out of the car!” Li Bing gritted his teeth and said. His father had already informed him about Li Shanhai’s protection of Li Xiaotian.
However, today, his nephew had been killed by Li Xiaotian, and his own subordinates had also been killed. If he didn't seek justice today, his brethren following him would be disheartened.
“Li Shanhai, I hope you don’t force my hand!” Li Bing muttered inwardly. If Li Shanhai insisted on obstructing him, he would have to turn hostile, for this grievance had to be avenged today!
Li Shanhai, his face grim, watched Li Bing approach as he stepped out of his car. Suppressing his anger, he spoke in a deep voice.
“Li Bing, take your men and retreat!”
Upon hearing this, Li Bing’s expression flickered with ferocity. Retreat? Impossible!
“Elder Li, do you know what happened today? Li Xiaotian killed my nephew’s subordinates, and I must kill him today!” Li Bing said through gritted teeth.
“Presumptuous! Did you not understand what I said? I don’t care what happened today, but I now order you to retreat!” Li Shanhai roared, his heart filled with extreme anger.
He had already received intelligence about Li Bing’s rampage along the way. Since when had the capital of Great Qin become so chaotic?
If he hadn't known that Li Xiaotian was going to settle accounts with the Li family personally, he would have already led his men to wipe out the Li family’s Heavenly Army.
“Retreat!!” Behind Li Shanhai, hundreds of War Department soldiers exuded fierce killing intent, staring intently at Li Bing and his men, ready to act at any moment.
Seeing this, Li Bing felt utterly stifled. He was the Heavenly King of the Heavenly Army, a regional overlord of the war zone, a War God! Yet Li Shanhai treated him like this, which was an insult!
“Li! Shan! Hai!” Li Bing gritted his teeth and continued.
“Do you know what you are doing? Are you sure you want to oppose my Heavenly Army for the sake of a Li Xiaotian? Have you thought about the consequences the Great Qin War Department will face in the war zone in the future?”
“Presumptuous! How dare you threaten me?” Li Shanhai’s face instantly turned red with anger. It was one thing to have been servile to Li Xiaotian in the past few days due to his power, but who was Li Bing to threaten him?
“Boom!” Li Shanhai instantly lunged at Li Bing, unleashing a terrifying aura.
Seeing this, Li Bing’s eyes flickered with disdain. He was wary of Li Shanhai because of his position as Commander of the War Department.
Did this seventy-year-old geezer dare to attack him, a War God?
“Hmph! Overestimating yourself!” Li Bing sneered. It was good, he would take this opportunity to teach the old man a lesson.
With this thought, Li Bing unleashed his terrifying aura, waiting for Li Shanhai to make his move.
“Boom!” The moment they clashed, Li Bing’s expression drastically changed.
Before Li Bing could react, Li Shanhai threw another punch at Li Bing’s chest. Li Bing was sent flying backward, coughing up blood, his face filled with shock.
Li Shanhai was also a War God! And his strength surpassed his own!!
“Heavenly King!!” The Heavenly Army soldiers who had accompanied Li Bing saw Li Bing being sent flying by Li Shanhai, and their expressions instantly turned furious.
Insult the King, show no mercy!
Boom boom boom!!
The more than five hundred Heavenly Army soldiers instantly erupted with powerful auras, each exuding fierce killing intent.
However, unexpectedly, the War Department soldiers opposite them were faster. All the War Department soldiers advanced, and countless firearms were brought into their hands.
If the Heavenly Army dared to make a move, they would annihilate their entire force!
“Cough, cough, cough, stop! Everyone, stop!” Li Bing quickly roared, getting up. If Li Shanhai were just an ordinary old man, he wouldn't have minded falling out with the War Department.
But now, he didn’t dare to confront the War Department. Li Shanhai was a War God, stronger than him, and capable of killing him.
As for the War Department soldiers, each of them was armed with firearms, and his own men were no match for them.
“Elder Li, Li Bing admits his guilt. I was rash just now.” Li Bing rushed to Li Shanhai’s side and spoke quickly.
“Hmph! If you don’t want to die, get out!” Li Shanhai glanced at Li Bing, then turned to leave, adding as he did.
“Everything you’ve damaged along the way, and everyone you’ve injured, you will pay double compensation!”
Li Bing’s expression kept changing. Although he felt wronged, he had no choice but to nod.
“Yes, Elder Li!”
Li Shanhai left, and the surrounding War Department soldiers quickly retreated back into the alleyways or buildings. In an instant, no one blocked Li Bing’s path anymore, and the Dragon Palace Hotel was right before him.
But! He didn’t dare to proceed further!
