Witch Lie made his move, and many were waiting to see the show, to witness Li Xiaotian's discomfiture, to see him kneel and confess.
Li Xiaotian's reaction was indeed beyond everyone's expectations. Facing an attack from a Hegemon-level expert, he dared to resist.
Boom boom boom!!!
A blinding saber light flashed across heaven and earth, striking the giant hand in the air.
Simultaneously, countless streams of flame surged towards the giant hand in the sky, emitting roars and filling the sky with fire.
Seeing this, all the awakened warriors were stunned. Such terrifying power from modern weaponry was unimaginable before.
"Hiss! He blocked it!!!"
Someone exclaimed. In the sky, the colossal hand that blotted out the sun had vanished. Li Xiaotian had blocked Witch Lie's attack.
Although Li Xiaotian not only blocked it himself but also deployed the Dragon God mecha and modern weaponry, he had still managed to block it. That was an attack from a Hegemon!
"No wonder Li Xiaotian is so arrogant. Is the power of Da Qin already this strong? However, this level of strength is still far from enough to deal with a Hegemon!"
At Witch Lie's side, his expression was slightly awkward, yet filled with anger. His first move had been blocked by Li Xiaotian, which made him lose face.
"Hmph! That was merely a casual strike from this Alliance Leader. Li Xiaotian, is this your trump card? If this is all you have, then you have no chance of turning the tables!"
Witch Lie sneered, his face full of mockery. Just as he was about to attack again, Li Xiaotian suddenly moved. He bowed sideways, half-bent, and then said,
"Grandma, please excuse me."
Everyone present was bewildered by Li Xiaotian's actions, looking at his side with confusion. There was no one there.
But then, everyone's expression changed drastically, and they couldn't help but gasp. Suddenly, an old woman appeared beside Li Xiaotian.
No, she had been there all along, but no one had noticed her before. This was too bizarre. In front of so many Emperor-level experts, an old woman appeared silently, shocking them.
Witch Lie was even more terrified, as even he hadn't noticed how she appeared. He was a Hegemon-level expert, invincible below the Heavenly rank.
"Little Li, I should have made my move long ago. He's just a junior who just broke through to Hegemon, and you, you brat, made me wait so long."
Yue E grumbled discontentedly. Her voice was soft, but everyone present could hear it.
"Please forgive me, Grandma. Your junior merely wanted to test the gap between himself and a Hegemon-level expert. I've made you work hard."
Li Xiaotian said humbly.
"Fine, I won't argue with you. What do you say? Should I kill him alone, or kill all of your Emperor-level experts?"
Yue E asked, glancing at Witch Lie with a casual demeanor.
"Grandma, just kill him. No need to trouble you with the others."
Li Xiaotian replied.
The conversation between the two fell on the ears of those around them like a bolt from the blue, causing immense shock.
They looked at the old woman beside Li Xiaotian, their faces filled with shock and curiosity. What was her strength? A Hegemon-level expert, how could she be treated like a child in her words?
Killing a Hegemon or wiping out all Emperor-level experts! Such words were spoken so casually, it was imaginable how impactful it was on the hearts of those around them.
Witch Lie stood frozen on the spot, unable to react for a long time. He looked at Yue E in disbelief. He couldn't sense any aura from her; she seemed like an ordinary person, but the more she was like that, the more uneasy he felt.
Especially her words just now, spoken so casually, filled him with both fear and anger.
"Who are you? This is a private matter between my Western Border Alliance and Da Qin. It would be best if you do not interfere."
Witch Lie probed cautiously, his body tensed. If the other party's strength was comparable to his, he would have the confidence to fight. If the other party was much stronger, he would flee immediately.
He cared nothing for the dignity of an expert. Once his life was at stake, he would disregard everything. In his eyes, his life was paramount.
"Am I someone your kind of dog can question?"
Yue E coldly glanced at Witch Lie and spoke unhurriedly.
When Witch Lie met Yue E's gaze, he immediately felt a strong sense of crisis and, without hesitation, turned to flee.
"Hmph! Did I let you go?"
Seeing this, Yue E snorted and casually reached out. In an instant, both she and Witch Lie vanished from their positions.
The battlefield fell into silence. Two living people, two Hegemon-level experts, had abruptly disappeared before their eyes.
At this moment, everyone felt a chill. What had just happened was too bizarre, as if the two had never appeared at all.
Countless eyes now focused on Li Xiaotian, their expressions complex. It turned out that all along, Li Xiaotian's confidence had been immense. With such a trump card, it was no wonder he dared to provoke a Hegemon.
"A Hegemon! Besides the three known Hegemon-level sects, Witch Lie is the fourth Hegemon. I didn't expect Li Xiaotian to know a mysterious Hegemon-level expert."
Someone couldn't help but sigh. Hegemon-level experts were rarely encountered in normal times, yet today they had met two.
"It seems we can no longer underestimate Da Qin. I didn't expect Da Qin to have such a powerful expert behind them!"
"Li Xiaotian is also someone not to be provoked in the future. Whether we can defeat him or not is another matter, but even if we could, the Hegemon behind him would not stand by idly."
The surrounding experts discussed in low voices. Amidst the crowd, Liu Neng's expression was particularly grim. He had thought Li Xiaotian was doomed, so he had jumped out to utter a harsh threat. But who would have thought that Li Xiaotian would be unharmed and have a Hegemon-level backer!
"Kill!!!"
Just as everyone's attention was focused on the two Hegemon-level experts, Li Xiaotian gave an order, and the Da Qin army launched an offensive.
Instantly, dense streams of modern weaponry shot towards the Western Border Alliance army, their roars echoing through heaven and earth.
The Western Border Alliance, still reeling from the sudden disappearance of their alliance leader, was caught off guard. Many soldiers were unable to defend themselves and were engulfed in the artillery fire.
"Kill!!! Those of the Western Border Alliance, kill without mercy!!!"
Li Xiaotian roared, his killing intent surging. He felt as if his brother Long Yi was fighting alongside him.
The battlefield immediately descended into chaos, with sounds of fighting and artillery fire incessantly. The higher the morale of the Western Border Alliance had been before, the greater their panic was now.
