As Li Xiaotian's words fell, the numerous subordinates behind Wang Longtao were enraged, their killing intent surging.
"How dare you!"
"Presumptuous!"
"Facing imminent death, you still speak such arrogant words! Now, kneel and confess!"
Wang Longtao's face turned ashen, his fists clenched tightly. He couldn't comprehend who was backing Li Xiaotian and his group. He had personally come here, yet they remained so audacious. Did they truly believe he, Wang Longtao, was easy to provoke?
Wang Longtao raised his right hand, and the Wang family members lining the entire street instantly fell silent. He spoke with a chilling tone.
"Li Xiaotian, I don't care who supports you, nor do I wish to know their identities. Challenging my Wang family in Jiangcheng means your inevitable downfall!"
"Do you know? I just came from the City Lord's Mansion. As I arrived here, all networks in Jiangcheng were shut down."
"Meaning, from this moment on, the outside world will know nothing of what happens in Jiangcheng!"
Wang Longtao grinned, his expression utterly ferocious.
"Do you know what fear is? Now, fear has arrived!"
"Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
Wang Longtao waved his hand as if commanding an army of thousands, his aura like a surging tide. He could already envision that within ten minutes, the scene would be littered with corpses!
This was the consequence of angering him!
At Wang Longtao's command, shouts erupted throughout the street. The Wang family members revealed their weapons and charged towards the Ye family's entrance.
Facing nearly a thousand Wang family members, Li Xiaotian and his group appeared incredibly weak, as if a single charge could make them vanish.
"Kill!" the war cries sounded, and all the Wang family members moved.
Li Xiaotian stood calmly in place, his gaze fixed solely on Wang Longtao, completely unconcerned by the reaction of the Wang family forces.
He waved his hand casually, and twenty-odd figures behind him instantly surged forward.
Just as the Wang family members believed these twenty-odd figures were rushing to their deaths, a scene that shocked them all unfolded.
Long Yi and the others moved like war machines. Wherever they passed, those who stood in their way fell to the ground. Many couldn't even discern how Long Yi and his companions attacked.
In mere moments, over a hundred Wang family members had fallen, their fates uncertain!
But once the battle began, it was beyond anyone's control.
Long Yi and the others fought with bloodshot eyes, recalling the scene of Li Xiaotian weeping on the battlefield, the tragic cries of Ye Qingmei in the underground room, and the miserable fate of the young Wang girl.
A wild killing intent surged within each of them.
They would avenge their King!
"This... This..." Wang Longtao remained rooted to the spot, but his expression had completely changed. He stared blankly at the scene before him, unable to believe his eyes.
They were all powerhouses! Li Xiaotian's men were all powerhouses! Even the guards at the entrance were powerhouses!
How was this possible?!!
Wang Longtao was utterly stunned. The scene unfolding before him was nothing like what he had imagined.
"Heh heh, don't be afraid! You'll be the last to die!" Long Yi suddenly appeared before Wang Longtao. As Wang Longtao prepared to counterattack, Long Yi spoke a single sentence before charging back into the fray.
Wang Longtao swayed. Though he hadn't directly clashed with Long Yi, based on the aura the latter exuded, he knew he was no match for him!
"Patriarch of the Wang family? King of Jiangcheng? You dare to call yourself King? A mere ant!" Long Twelve swept past Wang Longtao, his tone laced with mockery.
"Hmph! If it weren't for the need to keep you people alive for my Wang to vent his anger, I could have wiped out your Wang family single-handedly last night!" Long Qi cursed. He desperately wanted to punch Wang Longtao to death, but he knew Li Xiaotian harbored a stronger desire to kill Wang Longtao than anyone else, so he restrained himself!
Wang Longtao gasped for breath, his legs feeling weak, unsteady. The scene before him was too unbelievable.
He pinched himself fiercely. This wasn't a dream! This was real!
"Big Brother! What should we do? These people are no simple matter!" From a distance, Wang Dongyang shouted, his face filled with terror. He had initially thought this battle would be a mere exercise, but who would have expected this.
"Bang!" Before Wang Dongyang could finish his thought, he was casually dispatched by Long Eighteen, never regaining his senses even in death!
"Retreat! Quick, retreat! Fall back to the Wang family!" Wang Longtao finally regained his senses and immediately roared. At this point, only half of their Wang family forces remained!
In mere moments, half of their Wang family members were dead or injured. This was utterly inconceivable!
The Wang family forces had long lost any will to fight. Hearing Wang Longtao's command, they all turned and fled.
"Today, no one leaves! Regardless of whether you are innocent or not, since you are here, you must pay the price!" Li Xiaotian's voice was icy.
Outside the street, a dark, dense crowd had already appeared. They were the soldiers of the Dragon King Hall!
"Kill!" All the soldiers of the Dragon King Hall roared in unison, their killing intent piercing the heavens like a surging flood, instantly overwhelming all those who blocked their path.
Wang Longtao's forehead broke out in a cold sweat, his expression one of utter disbelief. Just fifteen minutes ago, he had been commanding an army of thousands with great pride. Now, all his former swagger was gone.
He quickly looked at Li Xiaotian and shouted.
"Li Xiaotian! This is a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! Stop this at once!" Da Feng Novel Network
"A misunderstanding? No, this is not a misunderstanding! Your Wang family brought this upon yourselves!" Li Xiaotian sneered, walking leisurely towards Wang Longtao.
Wang Longtao hastily retreated, his face contorted in fear.
"Li Xiaotian, listen to me. My Wang family has no intention of being your enemy. All of this is the fault of my wayward son. Kill him! Kill him! And our Wang family will retreat immediately!"
Li Xiaotian offered no reply. He had tolerated the mistreatment of his wife and daughter, refraining from destroying Jiangcheng. The Wang family was doomed from the moment Wang Xing dared to attempt to dig out his daughter's heart!
Meanwhile, Wang Xing, who was hanging at the gate, stared blankly, believing he was dreaming, unable to comprehend that the scene before him was real.
"Li Xiaotian, do you truly want a fight to the death? Show some restraint, don't push me too far!"
Seeing that Li Xiaotian remained unresponsive, Wang Longtao became desperate and decided to throw caution to the wind.
"Fight to the death? Heh heh, Wang Longtao, you overestimate yourself. If even one of my men from the Dragon King Hall dies while I destroy your Wang family, then I'll consider myself defeated!"
Li Xiaotian's tone was dismissive. The Dragon King Hall battling the Jiangcheng Wang family was like using a dragon-slaying sword to kill an ant.
"Li Xiaotian! Don't force me! This is Qin Nation! I still have the Jiangcheng City Lord behind me! And the Yang family of Jiangnan! Are you truly not afraid of repercussions for acting so recklessly?"
Wang Longtao roared, desperately trying to recall his trump cards, hoping to deter Li Xiaotian.
"Repercussions for me?" A flicker of anger flashed in Li Xiaotian's eyes. He considered himself to be quite restrained this time. He couldn't believe anyone in Qin Nation would dare to hold a grudge against him for this. He let out a great roar.
"Governor of Jiangnan, where are you? Get out here!"
As Li Xiaotian roared, a figure emerged rapidly from a nearby building. This was Governor Jiang Hai of Jiangnan.
In fact, Li Shanhai was also in that building. They had remained there precisely to prevent anyone from the City Lord's Mansion from making a rash move.
Their objective was simple: to allow Li Xiaotian to fully unleash his fury without any interference.
In reality, Li Shanhai and the others had already prepared to sacrifice all the aristocratic families of Jiangcheng.
Li Xiaotian destroying only the Wang family was, in their eyes, an excellent outcome.
"Governor Jiang Hai of Jiangnan pays his respects to the Dragon King!" Jiang Hai said respectfully, standing behind Li Xiaotian.
Wang Longtao's eyes widened, filled with terror and disbelief as he watched the scene. The words he wanted to utter remained stuck in his throat.
Jiang Hai! Governor Jiang Hai of Jiangnan! The true authority of the five provinces of Jiangnan! Even the head of the Yang family of Jiangnan, his greatest reliance, treated Jiang Hai with utmost respect.
And now, the Governor of Jiangnan, whom he considered insurmountable, was behaving like a subordinate towards Li Xiaotian.
This... this was simply unbelievable to him!
This cannot be real! Wang Longtao's mind frantically denied it.
Li Xiaotian didn't even spare Jiang Hai a glance, his voice low and menacing.
"He claims someone in Qin Nation can deal with me. I am avenging my wife and daughter. Do you have any objections?"
"We dare not! Dragon King, you jest. No one in Qin Nation has any objections! Everything you do is as it should be."
Jiang Hai replied, his heart trembling, mentally cursing Wang Longtao's foolishness. Who in Qin Nation dared to deal with Li Xiaotian? The armies of the Dragon King Hall were waiting at the borders of Qin Nation. Were the Qin high officials insane to provoke Li Xiaotian at this juncture?
"Then tell me, should I have destroyed the Wang family?"
Li Xiaotian continued his questioning, his gaze falling on Wang Longtao. Did you not have your trump cards? Did you not threaten me not to push you?
Heh heh, Li Xiaotian sneered inwardly. He intended to force Wang Longtao's hand, to make him utterly disheartened, to make him regret giving birth to Wang Xing!
No matter what trump cards you possess or how powerful your backers are.
Li Xiaotian couldn't be bothered to know. He would simply use the most straightforward method to shatter all of Wang Longtao's self-righteous trump cards and backers in one fell swoop!
"You should have! Even if the Dragon King hadn't acted, I, Jiang Hai, would have destroyed the Wang family myself!"
Jiang Hai responded.
"Haha, good!"
Li Xiaotian laughed heartily, then ignored Jiang Hai and strode towards Wang Longtao.
At this moment, all the Wang family members on the street had fallen. Long Yi and the others surrounded Wang Longtao, blocking his retreat.
"Thud!" Wang Longtao directly knelt on the ground, his entire body trembling. Just how terrifying an enemy had their Wang family provoked?
Even the Governor of Jiangnan trembled as he answered Li Xiaotian's questions.
If Wang Longtao had known Li Xiaotian's background was so formidable, he should have shot Wang Xing's seed against the wall years ago.
At this moment, the person Wang Longtao hated the most was not Li Xiaotian, but his own son, Wang Xing.
If not for Wang Xing, he would never have provoked such a terrifying existence as Li Xiaotian.
"Now, what other trump cards do you have?"
Li Xiaotian's voice echoed in Wang Longtao's ears, like the voice of a demon.
