The palace was filled with a terrifying aura. Li Xiaotian stared at Huang Wudi and the others with anger in his eyes, his killing intent fully unleashed.
At this moment, Huang Wudi and the others stood in the center of the grand hall, their auras bursting forth. There were nine of them. Although they were all at the peak of the Emperor stage, each one exuded a presence no weaker than that of a overlord.
"Heh heh, just a brat, killing someone right in front of us, do they think we're decoration?"
Huo Tongzi said with a mocking tone, then continued.
"This fellow Daoist merely said a few words, and you want to kill him? Heh heh, even if you are an overlord-level expert, isn't this too arrogant?"
"Hmph, overlord? So what if I'm an overlord? It's not like I haven't killed one before! Showing off in front of various factions, attacking and killing someone if words don't match, Li Xiaotian, do you want to become an enemy of the world? Do you not put anyone present in your eyes?"
Huang Wudi spoke, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
"That's right, Li Xiaotian. Don't forget that anyone present today is countless times older than you and can be considered your elder. Setting aside the matter of killing someone for their words, acting so disrespectfully in front of so many elders, is this how your Great Qin treats guests?!"
Shen Wuji's face was filled with coldness. He valued respecting teachers and elders the most, and he also valued etiquette. Li Xiaotian's arrogance made him very displeased!
"Li Xiaotian, I advise you not to threaten us. So what if we protect this person?"
Another elder spoke, his expression condescending, and then continued.
"Since we are all here today, we will not allow you to be presumptuous. Ancient people, you cannot kill any of them!"
Huang Wudi and the others expressed their stances, confronting Li Xiaotian head-on.
In reality, it wasn't that they had any particular relationship with the middle-aged man, but rather they had intended to find trouble with Li Xiaotian from the start.
Furthermore, in their eyes, Li Xiaotian's casual killing of people in front of so many of them was simply too audacious.
One must understand that they were all from ancient times, and Li Xiaotian constantly opposed their ancient factions, destroying ancient sects at every turn. This was undoubtedly a provocation to the ancient powers.
"Heh, a bunch of old fossils. I respect you for your age and call you seniors, but you've truly become self-important?"
Li Xiaotian sneered, his face growing colder. He narrowed his eyes and continued.
"Doesn't the ancient era revere strength above all else? I am an overlord, who gives you the audacity to defy an overlord?!! I am determined to kill this person today!"
"Boom!"
As soon as the words fell, Li Xiaotian directly threw a punch at Huang Wudi and the others. Instantly, a giant black fist appeared out of thin air, charging towards Huang Wudi and the others.
"Presumptuous!!!"
"Arrogant!!"
"Bold! Li Xiaotian, you are seeking death!"
"Today, we will let you witness the true terror of ancient people!"
In an instant, Huang Wudi and the others were furious. They were all prodigies from their respective eras in ancient times, respected by all. Today, for a junior like Li Xiaotian to dare to punch them was undoubtedly an insult to them!
"Boom boom boom!!!"
In an instant, Huang Wudi and the others attacked. Terrifying auras erupted, and the entire grand hall seemed to be caught in a storm, shaking violently.
Although they were at the peak of the Emperor stage, their strength could not be measured by their realm alone. One must know that four of the nine of them had personally slain overlord-level experts.
"Boom!"
A roar echoed in the grand hall, and terrifying shockwaves swept through the surroundings. The other people in the hall had already retreated when Li Xiaotian made his move, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.
Huang Wudi and the others, after deflecting Li Xiaotian's punch, couldn't help but feel their expressions change slightly. Li Xiaotian's strength had somewhat surpassed their initial estimations.
A descendant from a later generation, breaking through to overlord in just three years. Such speed and combat power truly shocked them.
However, it was merely shock. These old fellows had faced Heavenly-level experts before. Would they be afraid of an overlord?
"Swoosh!"
After throwing a punch, Li Xiaotian's body instantly disappeared from its original spot. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Huang Wudi and the others. Then, a mass of black mist erupted from his body, enveloping the entire palace.
"Tricks!"
Huo Tongzi sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. The next moment, his body was enveloped by a blue flame, which then spread out in all directions.
But, the next moment, his expression changed drastically, and he looked incredulous. Because after his flames dispersed, upon contact with the black mist, they were vanishing at a visible rate.
"This is impossible!!"
Huo Tongzi roared. His innate primordial flame could burn all things, yet Li Xiaotian's black mist was actually devouring his flames.
"Boom!"
Just as Huo Tongzi was in shock, a fist instantly appeared before his eyes.
Seeing this, Huo Tongzi quickly reacted, roaring loudly as he slapped forward with both hands covered in flames.
"Bang!"
Huo Tongzi was sent flying back, and his hands were in severe pain. What a powerful physique! Huo Tongzi exclaimed inwardly!
But in the next moment, a red light flashed in Huo Tongzi's eyes, and just as he was about to counterattack, Li Xiaotian had already disappeared.
"Boom!"
Immediately after, a roar erupted from another location, and a white light flashed.
"Everyone, be careful. Li Xiaotian cultivates the Demon Lord's techniques. This demon mist can devour any energy!"
It was Huang Wudi's voice. Some of the people present lived in an era before the Demon Lord, so they didn't recognize Li Xiaotian's demon mist. That was why Huang Wudi had spoken out to remind them.
Hearing Huang Wudi's reminder, everyone's hearts tightened. Devouring any energy? No wonder Li Xiaotian was so arrogant!
"Hmph! Li Xiaotian, as an overlord, being so sneaky, are you afraid? If you have the guts, fight me openly!"
Someone roared. Since energy couldn't be used, they could only resort to physical combat. Some of them had weaker physiques to begin with, making this situation very disadvantageous for them.
"Hum!"
Suddenly, the demon mist in the grand hall dispersed, and Li Xiaotian reappeared before everyone.
"Hmph, fine. I will make you all accept defeat!"
Li Xiaotian snorted coldly, and then he slashed out with his saber!
"Hum!"
The saber appeared, and an intense killing intent filled everyone's hearts, sending chills down their spines.
"Invincible Saber Technique! It's the Ancient family's Invincible Saber Technique, Heaven Severing!"
Someone recognized Li Xiaotian's saber technique and immediately cried out a warning, filled with shock.
One had to know that any inheritance from the ancient Invincible family was never passed down. But for Li Xiaotian, a descendant from a later generation, to be able to use Heaven Severing was truly astonishing to them.
The saber cut through the air. Although it was just a single saber, everyone felt as though this strike was aimed directly at them.
Li Xiaotian sneered. After breaking through to the overlord stage, he finally understood the true power of the Thirteen Forms of Heaven Severing. The higher his realm, the more he could unleash the full might of the Heaven Severing Saber Technique.
