“No! I cannot die! I am the Crown Prince of Great Han, you cannot kill me!!! Li Xiaotian, Lord Dragon King, please spare my life. My ancestor is a Hegemon-level expert. If you let me live, I will definitely persuade him to help your Great Qin overcome this tribulation!”
Park Banseong said in panic, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He was afraid, he didn't want to die!
“Tribulation, hmph!”
Li Xiaotian chuckled upon hearing this. It seemed the news of his serious injuries had spread far, even reaching remote places like the Small Han Kingdom, with people wanting to get involved.
“Be more careful in your next life, don't be so arrogant, or you will die,”
Li Xiaotian said, then stomped his foot. A surge of power entered Park Banseong's body, instantly shattering his internal organs.
Park Banseong didn't even have time to scream, his pupils dilated, his expression filled with unwillingness and terror.
He was dead!
At this moment, the rest of the Great Han Dynasty's people had already been killed. The entire city gate area instantly became deathly silent.
The representative of a power, annihilated just like that!
Although the Great Han Dynasty had acted disrespectfully first, Li Xiaotian’s method of dealing with them was somewhat excessive.
“Next time you encounter such people, no warning needed. Kill them all without mercy!”
Li Xiaotian instructed the guard captain at the city gate, then turned and left.
A few breaths later, the city gate returned to normal. Those experts who had been secretly observing the situation were still deeply unsettled.
“It has been confirmed that Li Xiaotian is seriously injured, and the injuries are very severe. He probably doesn’t have much combat power left. Everyone saw the previous battles. If he were at his peak, given his personality, he wouldn’t have avoided a fight!”
An expert analyzed. Li Xiaotian first killed three Emperor-level martial artists and then vomited blood. Later, he dodged Manager Jin’s attacks, and finally, shamelessly joined forces with other Emperor-level experts to kill Manager Jin.
From these changes, it could be seen that Li Xiaotian's strength had declined significantly. He could barely cope with a late-stage Emperor-level expert.
“He killed everyone from the Great Han Dynasty, likely to show us. Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, hehe. But he hasn’t thought it through. He is no longer the person he used to be. No matter how he tries to deter us now, he cannot shake our resolve to destroy him!”
“Indeed, now we just need to wait and see which power will make the first move. As soon as someone tests Li Xiaotian again and confirms he is crippled, all the powers will move to destroy him!”
“What a pity, such a monstrous talent is falling like this. But it’s his own doing. Who made him so envied?”
In the capital city, countless experts were secretly in motion. Li Xiaotian entered the Qin Palace, so the consciousness of numerous strong individuals lingered outside the Qin Palace.
At first, everyone was apprehensive, and no expert's consciousness entered the Qin Palace.
But after one expert’s consciousness cautiously probed the Qin Palace, the Emperor-level experts from various factions no longer concealed themselves, and their consciousnesses arrogantly swept through the Qin Palace.
Li Xiaotian, however, showed no reaction to this.
On this day, another roar of the Qin Emperor echoed from the Qin Palace. This time, the Qin Emperor was even more furious than before.
The consciousnesses of countless experts immediately converged there. At this time, the various powers were already unrestrained, treating the Qin Palace like a public space with no secrets.
“Hmm! This is news from the Sword Pavilion and the Dao Sect. The Endless Desert and the Southern Sea Demon Clans have rioted. The experts from both sects have been dispatched to suppress the demon clans and cannot send anyone to guard the capital!”
An expert murmured, his tone filled with excitement. The Qin Emperor was actually seeking help from the Sword Pavilion and the Dao Sect. What did this signify? It signified that Li Xiaotian was finished! He feared that Great Qin would fall into chaos, hence the plea for help!
“Heh heh, this is heaven’s will to destroy him, Li Xiaotian, and to destroy Great Qin!”
An expert laughed. In his eyes, Great Qin was now like a weak woman, defenseless against a pack of wolves.
“Li Xiaotian’s palace has always been shrouded by formations, making it impossible to see clearly inside. However, servants have been seen carrying out blood-stained clothes daily. It seems Li Xiaotian is truly at the end of his rope.”
“Everyone, what are you waiting for? Make your move now, while Great Qin has no reinforcements. This is the best opportunity!”
An expert incited, hoping a faction would strike first and break the stalemate.
However, the various factions remained hidden, and none were willing to make a move.
They were all waiting!
Because they still felt that, given Li Xiaotian’s personality, he would definitely have left a contingency plan. The first faction to act would definitely suffer greatly.
However, another action from the capital city that afternoon instantly stirred the hearts of the experts from various factions.
That afternoon, an order was issued from the Qin Palace, mobilizing the army to guard the Qin Palace. Simultaneously, the Emperor-level experts who were still recuperating were awakened and summoned to gather at the Qin Palace.
This action by the Qin Palace undoubtedly told the outsiders that Li Xiaotian was nearing his end, or that his injuries had reached a critical stage, and no one was allowed to disturb him at this time.
“The capital city will be under curfew tonight. No one is allowed to go out. Those who violate this will be killed without mercy!!!”
As dusk fell, a voice suddenly emanated from the Qin Palace, reaching every corner of the city. At the same time, the armies stationed outside the city entered and sealed off every street and alley.
All these actions gave a sense of extreme tension, as if tonight was crucial for Great Qin.
“What happened? Is Li Xiaotian dying? Or has he found a way to heal his injuries? Why is Great Qin suddenly so tense?”
An expert asked in confusion. Great Qin’s reaction was too abnormal, making people suspicious.
“We can’t wait any longer. Even if Li Xiaotian recovers from his injuries, he won’t have the strength to defy fate. Too many people want to kill him. Even in his prime, he couldn’t withstand so many powerful individuals.”
The number of Emperor-level experts residing in the capital city was already unknown. Hundreds of expert consciousnesses were probing the Qin Palace daily, and the actual number was definitely greater than this.
“Make your move. The one who kills Li Xiaotian first has the greatest chance of obtaining the Heavenly Tablet!”
Countless experts were communicating in secret. Many factions had already formed alliances, agreeing to act together. As for some powerful sects, they didn't seek allies, only waiting for the opportune moment!
The sky gradually darkened, and ordinary people in the capital city hurried home. Even though they knew nothing, they could all feel that something big was about to happen tonight.
When the sky was completely dark, the entire capital city was silent, without a sound.
Armies were stationed on every street and alley in the capital. At this moment, they were all on high alert, their minds taut.
The silence continued until midnight. The entire capital city was quiet, filled with a sense of oppression.
“Pat. Pat.”
Suddenly, footsteps echoed on the silent street, like a stone dropped into a calm lake, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.
