Gu Qing and the others' reactions caught Li Xiaotian by surprise. He could sense that part of their anger stemmed from the Great Han Dynasty's brazen actions in Yan Province, but more so because Kong Wenbin was in Shen City!
It seemed that Gu Zhi Village was not only terrifying in strength but also highly valued protection of their own.
Li Xiaotian mused, this meant he could finally rest easy about the safety of his wife and daughter in the future.
"All those who wish to go, follow our young friend Li. Although Wenbin is a modern person, he is a descendant of the Invincible. Our Invincible family may have fallen, but we will never allow anyone to bully us!"
Just then, an ancient voice echoed in everyone's ears. It was Gu Wentian, his tone placid, yet it instilled an inexplicable sense of confidence.
"When you go, don't shame our village. Annihilate those barbarians, and that so-called 'Imperial Dynasty' too, just get rid of them while you're at it!"
Gu Wentian's voice rang out again, filled with dominance.
Li Xiaotian was immediately filled with joy. Of course, he didn't pay much attention to the people of the Great Han Dynasty.
But the willingness of Gu Zhi Village to intervene meant that he could simultaneously destroy the Great Han Dynasty and also showcase the relationship between Da Qin and Gu Zhi Village to all the forces in Yan Province.
This way, Da Qin's unification of Yan Province in the future would be much more stable.
"Father, rest assured, this time we will definitely destroy the Great Han Dynasty! For the glory of the Yang Invincible family!"
Gu Qing exclaimed excitedly. With Gu Wentian's support, they had no more reservations.
"Old Ancestor Wentian, rest assured. We will never disgrace the village, nor the identity of descendants of the Invincible!"
"Indeed, even if not for anything else, just for Wenbin, we will not spare those barbarians this time!"
In an instant, several elders in the room spoke up, each filled with righteous anger.
Including Gu Qing, there were six elders present. Each of them was at the peak of the Emperor realm, and with their Invincible bloodline, they dared to fight even against Overlord-level powerhouses!
"Seniors, there is no time to delay. Let us depart immediately. Wenbin is the only one guarding Shen City, and I fear that any delay might lead to unforeseen circumstances."
Li Xiaotian spoke, a hint of worry in his heart. After all, besides himself, Da Qin currently only had fifteen Dark Plums and two late-stage Emperor realm experts, with the rest yet to break through.
And Kong Wenbin was only at the mid-stage of the Emperor realm. Although he possessed a Heavenly Soldier and the Invincible bloodline, which could make him equivalent to a late-stage Emperor realm expert, the enemies were too numerous. He feared unforeseen events. Once Long Shiwu and the others couldn't provide timely support, Kong Wenbin would be in danger.
"Yes, let's go, we depart now!"
Gu Qing also realized the gravity of the situation and immediately spoke.
In an instant, Li Xiaotian and the others ascended, disappearing into the night sky in the blink of an eye.
Some powerhouses in Gu Zhi Village, who were a step slower and wanted to pursue, were held back.
Concurrently, outside Shen City, the battle had already reached its climax.
When Da Qin's reinforcements arrived at Shen City, half of the city walls were already destroyed. Kong Wenbin was severely wounded, struggling to stay alive, and the warriors of the War Department had suffered over half their casualties.
The enemy was too strong. Just three individuals attacking had caused such terrifying destruction, nearly annihilating Shen City.
If it weren't for the intervention of powerful experts from the Kaoshan Sect, which previously occupied Shen City, Shen City might have already been a dead city by the time Long Shiwu and the others arrived.
Even so, the casualties were still heavy. The Kaoshan Sect had lost three Emperor realm experts, and the majority of their disciples were dead. Currently, only two Emperor realm experts were struggling to hold on.
Therefore, when Long Shiwu and the others arrived, they were instantly enraged, charging fiercely at the Great Han Dynasty's forces.
On the battlefield, Long Shiwu and the others attacked with frenzied ferocity, with all two hundred and more Dragon God Mechs unleashed.
Their opponents, however, numbered only eleven from the Great Han Dynasty!
Yet, even with this advantage, Da Qin could only fight them to a draw, as those eleven were simply too powerful.
Especially two of them, who were at the peak of the Emperor realm, seemed to sweep across the entire battlefield. A single strike from them could cripple a Dragon God Mech.
"Kill!!! Fight to the death!!!"
Long Shiwu roared, his eyes bloodshot. They could not retreat in this battle; they had to hold on until Li Xiaotian arrived.
Of course, they couldn't retreat either; to retreat meant death!
The Great Han Dynasty had come for revenge, and they would certainly not let them go!
Thinking of this, Long Shiwu and the others from Da Qin were filled with anxiety. Once the energy of the Mech Legion was depleted, Da Qin would face a one-sided slaughter!
All of them were going to die here!
"Heh heh, mere ants, overestimating yourselves, daring to obstruct us?"
An elder from the Great Han sneered, his tone full of disdain.
Even now, none of their eleven had sustained any injuries, while on the contrary, Da Qin's forces had suffered more than half their casualties.
"Do you still wish to struggle in your death throes?! Why not kneel and surrender! Worship us, and we may spare you!"
"Indeed, let the Qin Lord personally admit guilt to us and represent Da Qin in surrendering to our Great Han Dynasty. Only then can our Great Han's wrath be appeased!"
"Too weak! Ants, all ants! I simply cannot comprehend how Da Qin, with its current strength, dares to kill our Crown Prince?! To destroy the people of our Great Han Dynasty?"
An elder punched through a Dragon God Mech, his eyes filled with indifference and arrogance.
"You speak utter nonsense! What does our Da Qin not dare to do? Your Korean nation has been a vassal of our Da Qin since ancient times. Our Da Qin is your master! What fault is there when a master disciplines a servant?!"
Long Shiwu cursed vehemently, filled with indignation. The Great Han? Pfft! A mere speck of land, daring to call itself an Imperial Dynasty? Daring to demand Da Qin's surrender?!
Were they even worthy?!
Never mind that Li Xiaotian had already broken through to Overlord; even before that, Da Qin would never surrender to any force, let alone a Korean nation that was looked down upon by all Da Qin people.
"When our King arrives, you will all perish!!! Your Great Han Dynasty will also be reduced to ashes!"
"Indeed, even the Desolate Hall did not force Da Qin to surrender. How can you, a mere Korean nation, expect Da Qin to submit? Today, even if we fight to the death, we will never bow and beg for mercy from you!"
The people of Da Qin cursed one after another. Although Da Qin was at a disadvantage now, and they would surely die once the energy of the Dragon God Mechs was depleted, not a single person felt fear, nor would any of them retreat or entertain thoughts of surrender.
It was simply because the Great Han Dynasty was not worthy!
The people of Da Qin, from the bottom of their hearts, looked down on the Great Han. To summarize it with a popular saying circulating on Da Qin's internet: "Just a bunch of Koreans, what are they bragging about?!"
"Presumptuous!!!"
"Audacious!!!"
"You deserve to die!!!"
The eleven elders of the Great Han Dynasty were instantly enraged upon hearing this, their faces turning red with anger.
The words spoken by Da Qin's people had wounded their pride.
"Kill! Slaughter all these ants, leave none alive!!! And Li Xiaotian, if he dares to come to his death today, capture him alive and bring him back to the Imperial Dynasty to be dealt with publicly before the world!!!"
The leading elder roared. They were furious!
"Great Han Dynasty, how dare you! Provoke my Da Qin, and you shall be annihilated as a nation!!!"
As soon as the elder finished speaking, a loud shout suddenly came from the distant sky, and a figure rapidly shot towards the battlefield.
