After hearing the words of the Giant Ape King, Longma hesitated, looking at Li Xiaotian, his eyes questioning.
"They are yours to deal with. It doesn't matter if you kill them or let them go," Li Xiaotian said indifferently. He had handed the three over to Longma for disposal, wanting Longma to vent his anger. He didn't care how the other party decided.
Xing Zhan and the other looked at Longma with excited and pitiful expressions.
"Longma, I admit that I was driven by greed before and wanted to capture you, but I absolutely had no intention of harming you," Xing Zhan said quickly, his tone sincere. He continued, "Moreover, even if we had captured you, our Xing Tian Department would have treated you as a sacred beast of the tribe and worshipped you, never harboring any ill intentions!"
"Me too, Longma. The Giant Ape King is right. We don't have a deep blood feud after all. Killing me would provoke the hostility of the Western Alliance Department, which is a very unfavorable move for both you and Li Xiaotian," Du Furen also said hurriedly, a hint of humiliation flashing in the depths of her eyes. It was a great humiliation for her to bow down to a small creature she disdained. But the situation was stronger than the people, and she had to bow.
"Roar, Li Xiaotian saved me this time. I should not provoke strong enemies for him anymore," Longma said slowly, the killing intent on his body gradually receding. The Giant Ape King beside him breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled silently. This was for the best, and it wouldn't get him involved. As for the death of the Seventh Divine General, Li Xiaotian already had enmity with the Ancient God Department, so his death was only natural. Xing Zhan and Du Furen also showed expressions of surviving a disaster, finally saving their lives.
However, who would have thought that Longma, whose killing intent had completely disappeared, would suddenly let out a roar and then swallow Du Furen in one gulp.
"No!!! Little beast, you dare!!!" Du Furen immediately shouted, her eyes full of shock and resentment. Hadn't he let her go? Why did he attack again?
"Longma, no!!" The Giant Ape King beside him shouted urgently, his recently relieved heart immediately tensing up again.
"Roar!" Longma roared and, without any hesitation, swallowed Du Furen in one bite.
"Hehe, I was almost poisoned to death, and the rat's three corpses were annihilated. Someone needs to pay this debt!" Longma said with a sinister smile, his ferocity erupting. The Seventh Divine General was dead, that was his own fault for trying to kill Longma. But besides that, Longma had been poisoned and fled for thousands of miles, and his subordinate, the Rat Demon, had died without a whole body. Longma had always remembered this hatred.
Xing Zhan's face was pale, and a sense of fear instinctively arose in his heart. Du Furen had just been swallowed like this. And now, only he was left.
"As for you, scram! Considering you took a blow for me, I won't kill you." Just as Xing Zhan thought Longma would swallow him next, Longma's voice suddenly echoed in his ears. Xing Zhan quickly looked at Longma, his eyes filled with disbelief. Had the other party let him go? Had he really let him go?
"Still not leaving? Idiot!" The Giant Ape King hurriedly shouted, kicking Xing Zhan and reminding him. Xing Zhan really couldn't die. If he died, he would be finished. If he lived, two out of the four survived, and they could find an excuse to cover it up.
"Yes!! Thank you! Thank you for not killing me!" Xing Zhan came to his senses, quickly thanked him, and tentatively stood up. Finding that Li Xiaotian wasn't targeting him, he turned and fled without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, Xing Zhan's figure had disappeared from everyone's sight. He probably used all his strength for this escape speed. He was afraid that if he was a little slower, Li Xiaotian and Longma might regret it.
"Ape King, I'll leave one for you. Should the two of you be able to cover it up then?" Longma asked the Giant Ape King.
"Yes, it might be a bit troublesome, but at least there will be no risk of falling," the Giant Ape King said, smiling wryly in his heart. You killed the other one, what else could it say?
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave," the Giant Ape King thought for a moment and continued, feeling that being with Li Xiaotian was always a risk of death. Longma looked at Li Xiaotian. Seeing that Li Xiaotian didn't react, he nodded.
"Cough, cough, then I'll be leaving." The Giant Ape King said quickly and then cupped his fists at Li Xiaotian. "Li Overlord, I bid you farewell." With that, he quickly chased in the direction Xing Zhan had fled. He had to discuss with the other party how to cover up the lie and deceive outsiders.
After the Giant Ape King left, Longma opened his mouth and spat out a pile of things, which clattered. These were things from the Seventh Divine General and Du Furen. Being carried by late-stage Overlord experts, their value was likely not insignificant.
"Cough, cough, Li Xiaotian, thank you this time. These spoils of war are yours. I don't dare to keep them private." Li Xiaotian smiled upon hearing this. The most valuable were the corpses of the two late-stage Overlords, which you swallowed. Did he care about the remaining things?
"Take it if you want it, these are useless to me," Li Xiaotian said. At this moment, Qing Lin suddenly stepped forward and rummaged through the pile of objects, finding two items. One was a mirror, and the other was a jade bottle. She immediately opened the jade bottle, and instantly, a bloody scent filled with energy wafted out.
"Blood of the Ancient God?" Li Xiaotian looked over sharply, his eyes brightening slightly, and then spoke in surprise, "No, the energy is more concentrated than the Blood of the Ancient God."
"It's the essence blood of the Ancient God. A drop of essence blood is equivalent to a hundred drops of the Blood of the Ancient God," Qing Lin said slowly.
"Roar! Mine!!!" Longma roared and rushed forward with his mouth open. However, in the blink of an eye, the jade bottle was already in Li Xiaotian's hand.
"Li Xiaotian, this is mine. You just said that these spoils of war are mine!!" Longma was anxious. One hundred drops of essence blood of the Ancient God, this was a true great opportunity. If it swallowed it, its strength would likely reach the late stage of Overlord directly.
"Did I say that? What did I say just now? I forgot," Li Xiaotian said expressionlessly, then calmly put away the jade bottle.
"Roar!!! Li Xiaotian, don't go too far! We split everything in half, half of this essence blood belongs to me!" Longma roared, regretting it immensely. If it had known that the Seventh Divine General had such a precious item, it wouldn't have been so generous earlier. However, Longma's words were directly ignored by Li Xiaotian. He didn't even pay attention and instead looked at the round mirror in Qing Lin's other hand.
"This is a replica of the Heavenly Mystery Mirror, capable of breaking through all illusions. They should have used it to locate my position," Qing Lin explained proactively, her expression complicated.
"Roar! Mine!" This time, Li Xiaotian did not argue with Longma and was swallowed by it. Immediately after, Longma, without any pause, swallowed the pile of things it had previously spat out. Li Xiaotian smiled and shook his head, then looked at Qing Lin and asked, "Where are you going next? The Ancient God Department should no longer be able to accommodate you."
Qing Lin's expression was dejected, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes. She didn't know where to go either. She had never thought that this day would come. However, she knew that the Ancient God Department would definitely not let her go.
"I will continue to seek revenge until the Black Robe Alliance is destroyed!" Qing Lin said after thinking for a moment, a look of determination flashing in her eyes. She had to avenge her brother.
"Right! Revenge! Li Xiaotian, it's good that you're back. The Eastern Heavenly King of the Black Robe Alliance still owes me three drops of Ancient God's blood, no, essence blood. Help me get it back, and I'll share a drop with you!" Longma said. As soon as it mentioned the Black Robe Alliance, it remembered the drop of essence blood it had lost, feeling heartbroken.
Li Xiaotian gave Longma a sideways glance and continued to speak to Qing Lin, "Let's go meet someone first, and then you can leave." With that, without waiting for her agreement, Li Xiaotian directly wrapped Longma and Qing Lin and soared into the sky, flying in the direction he had come from.
A moment later, figures gradually began to appear around them. They were all people who had come to watch the show. Upon seeing the mess everywhere, they all gasped involuntarily. The ground around them was cracked, with lava continuously gushing out, the wind howling in the sky, and spatial fragments everywhere.
"Can anyone tell me what the final outcome was? Where are they? Did Li Xiaotian manage to save his mount?" Someone whispered, with regret and lingering fear. Regretful that they had missed this great battle, and fearful of the consequences of this battle.
"He should have saved it. After all, he is a Golden Body expert. I guess Li Xiaotian fought to a draw with the Seventh Divine General and the other two Overlords, and then saved his mount." An old man said. After all, although Golden Body experts were powerful, the Seventh Divine General and the other two were all late-stage Overlord experts. This result was him overestimating.
"Nonsense. In my opinion, the Seventh Divine General and the other two have surely perished. The terrifying aspect of a Golden Body expert is not something ordinary people can guess," someone said, their body filled with excitement. Li Xiaotian single-handedly slew three late-stage Overlords, this strength was too heaven-defying.
"Perhaps Li Xiaotian died in battle, and his mount also died. He's just someone from another region. He only dared to appear today, hiding his head and tail. How could he be a match for the three Overlords of our Barbarian Continent?" someone said sarcastically, looking down on Li Xiaotian.
"Let's go see the reactions of the other three major forces, and we'll know the outcome soon enough," someone said, not speculating randomly. The crowd discussed, and although they didn't know the outcome, seeing the scene here, the previous battle must have been magnificent.
Half a day later, when a piece of news spread throughout the entire Barbarian Continent, countless people were instantly shocked. The outposts of the Ancient God Department and the Western Alliance Department in the War Domain were successively destroyed by mysterious experts, leaving no survivors. At this moment, the entire War Domain was in an uproar. The strongholds of the Ancient God Department and the Western Alliance Department were destroyed, leaving no survivors. This was too audacious! Moreover, this also meant that the Seventh Divine General and Du Furen had perished!
