"Hmm?"
On the mountaintop of the Dark Cloud Sect, Patriarch Dark Cloud's eyes flashed with a cold glint as he saw the golden light rushing towards him.
With him present, there were still those who weren't afraid of death and were barging in?
"Hmph!"
Immediately, Patriarch Dark Cloud let out a cold snort, his terrifying pressure locking onto the golden light in the sky.
At that very moment, a figure flew out from the golden light, and a phantom of a long saber instantly appeared in the sky.
Li Xiaotian had made his move. He knew that in front of a Heavenly-tier expert, there was no chance for a surprise attack. Therefore, he could only strike when he was as close as possible to the opponent.
"Buzz!"
The long saber slashed through the sky, and the wind roared. Terrifying energy fluctuations swept through the surroundings, striking towards Patriarch Dark Cloud.
"Presumptuous!"
Patriarch Dark Cloud was furious. His eyes were filled with rage. How dare a mere Royal-tier ant attack him? He was courting death.
With a casual grab, the saber phantom in the sky instantly shattered.
But at that moment, Li Xiaotian suddenly accelerated, unleashing his full strength. His body grew, and he punched towards Patriarch Dark Cloud.
"Damn it, Li Xiaotian, it's you!!"
Patriarch Dark Cloud's eyes immediately turned red upon seeing this. But then, his expression changed drastically, a flicker of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"You, you've broken through to Heavenly-tier? How is this possible?!"
But the response he received was Li Xiaotian's fist.
"Courting death! I have emerged into the world, and you not only fail to flee for your life but also dare to provoke me. Hmph! You've only just broken through to Heavenly-tier, who gave you the courage?"
Patriarch Dark Cloud sneered, his face filled with killing intent. Without a second thought, he reached out to grab Li Xiaotian.
In his eyes, even if Li Xiaotian had broken through to Heavenly-tier, he was just a slightly stronger ant.
The gap between early Heavenly-tier and mid-Heavenly-tier was enormous, let alone him being a seasoned expert. Li Xiaotian's attack on him was no different from seeking death.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, the mountain peaks and trees within a ten-mile radius were instantly destroyed by the terrifying energy wave.
Following that, Patriarch Dark Cloud let out an incredulous cry.
"This is impossible!!"
Patriarch Dark Cloud roared, his eyes filled with shock. He looked at his right hand, which had just blocked Li Xiaotian's punch, his face filled with terror.
His right hand was trembling slightly, with several cracks, and blood was flowing.
He was actually injured!
Injured by an ant he had never taken seriously!
"Boom!"
Li Xiaotian threw another punch. His time was extremely tight, and he had to end the battle in a very short period.
Otherwise, if it dragged on, other Heavenly-tier experts might discover the commotion here, and then he would be in danger.
"Courting death! You're only relying on your physical strength. Do you think you're my match?"
Patriarch Dark Cloud roared. The sky was filled with dark clouds, and a towering black palm descended from the sky, slapping towards Li Xiaotian.
"Buzz!"
Li Xiaotian quickly summoned the Dragon King Hall to block the giant hand in the sky, while his fist rapidly approached Patriarch Dark Cloud.
"Top-grade Heavenly Soldier! Damn it!"
Patriarch Dark Cloud stared at the Dragon King Hall, a flicker of heat in his eyes, but then his expression changed slightly because Li Xiaotian's fist had arrived.
"Rumble!"
With another loud boom, Patriarch Dark Cloud was forced to retreat uncontrollably. His face was filled with shock, and at the same time, he was immensely angry.
He hadn't gained the upper hand in the first exchange because he was careless. But in this exchange, he had clearly heightened his vigilance, so why was it still like this?
He was just an ant, and after such a short time apart, the opponent had become so strong?
No! This isn't real!
He couldn't accept this fact, nor could he accept such humiliation.
"Die! For me!"
Patriarch Dark Cloud roared, his expression ferocious. A long sword instantly appeared in his hand and stabbed towards Li Xiaotian.
Mid-grade Heavenly Soldier!
And as the sword was thrust out, the surrounding world was enveloped by dark clouds, making everything invisible.
Li Xiaotian's eyes flickered at the sight. The long saber in his hand reappeared, and he slashed out with all his might.
Mid-grade Heavenly Soldier, he had one too!
At the same time, the long saber was accompanied by a devouring force, and wherever it passed, the dark clouds were devoured.
"Rumble!"
With a loud boom, Li Xiaotian grunted, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. His body was enveloped by a dark cloud, exuding a decaying aura.
On the other side, Patriarch Dark Cloud retreated again. At this moment, his eyes were filled with astonishment.
Although he was very reluctant to admit it, he knew that Li Xiaotian's strength was already on par with his.
Of course, what made him even more envious was that Li Xiaotian actually possessed two Heavenly Soldiers, one mid-grade and one top-grade.
This made him angry and even more envious.
As a mid-Heavenly-tier expert, his strongest weapon was only a mid-grade Heavenly Soldier.
Why did this descendant ant possess two Heavenly Soldiers? And one of them was a top-grade Heavenly Soldier that even Heavenly-tier experts coveted.
"Die! Li Xiaotian, today I will surely kill you to avenge my sect and seize everything you have."
Patriarch Dark Cloud roared, his expression frenzied, his long hair flying.
"Boom boom boom!"
The two fought fiercely, stirring the entire world into turmoil. Everything within a ten-mile radius was being destroyed and shattered.
Li Xiaotian's face was grim, and blood spilled from his mouth. He also had many wounds on his body.
He had overestimated his own strength, or rather, he had underestimated the Heavenly-tier experts of this world.
Patriarch Dark Cloud's strength was only considered average among Heavenly-tier experts, yet he couldn't defeat him in a short time.
However, Li Xiaotian had no intention of retreating at this moment; he still had a trump card.
That was the Demonic Sword. After breaking through to Heavenly-tier, he could barely unleash the power of the Demonic Sword.
But he only had one chance. Otherwise, with Patriarch Dark Cloud's strength, if he dodged it, he would have no chance for a surprise attack.
Moreover, if Patriarch Dark Cloud directly fled, his situation would become even more dangerous.
At this moment, Patriarch Dark Cloud's face was grim, and his eyes were filled with apprehension.
Li Xiaotian's strength shocked him. Now, he had to treat him seriously and had no intention of underestimating him.
Of course, he was not afraid in his heart. Although he hadn't fully recovered, he was at least in an invincible position. On the other hand, Li Xiaotian, if he were even slightly careless, could be turned over in one move by him, or even be killed.
"Dark Cloud Three Curses, Soul Seize, Body Curse, Life Snatch!"
Patriarch Dark Cloud growled, and then he quickly formed hand seals, chanting ancient incantations.
At this moment, Li Xiaotian's body suddenly stiffened. He felt unbearable pain all over his body, and his consciousness felt like it was about to fall asleep.
"Buzz!"
Just then, Patriarch Dark Cloud's eyes flashed, and the long sword in his hand thrust out, directly aiming for Li Xiaotian's face.
And Li Xiaotian, seeing this, could not stop it in time because his body was currently resisting his will.
"Break!"
Li Xiaotian let out a great roar, and his body and consciousness instantly recovered, but it was too late. Although his body was stopped for a second, this second had made him miss the opportunity to strike.
