"Boom!"
With a thunderous sound, Xue Qi's body was directly struck by Li Xiaotian's cleave, and at the same time, behind him, his body was pierced by Caesar's gun.
"Ah!!!"
Xue Qi screamed, his expression contorted in ferocity. Facing the combined assault of Li Xiaotian and Caesar, he was no match for them.
"Kill!"
Li Xiaotian and Caesar exerted their strength simultaneously, instantly splitting Xue Qi's body apart, with severed limbs scattering in all directions.
"He's dead!"
Caesar breathed a sigh of relief at the sight. But who would have thought that Li Xiaotian would still swing his long saber, slashing towards Xue Qi's severed limbs.
"This." Caesar frowned slightly but didn't intervene. After all, Xue Qi had massacred several villages, and dying like this was too lenient a punishment for him.
However, immediately after, his eyes widened. Because as Li Xiaotian's long saber was about to approach a severed limb of Xue Qi, the limb in mid-air suddenly turned into a mass of blood and instantly dodged Li Xiaotian's attack.
"Not dead?! How is this possible?"
Caesar was shocked. His body had been pulverized by the combined efforts of himself and Li Xiaotian, yet the opponent was not dead?
"Damn it!!! You've angered me, Li Xiaotian! As a blood descendant of the Sea of Blood, you not only betrayed the Master but also oppose him! You know that blood descendants cannot be killed! Your actions are undoubtedly provoking me!"
Xue Qi's figure reappeared, as if he had never been injured, though his aura was slightly weaker.
He glared at Li Xiaotian with a ferocious expression, his eyes filled with hatred.
"You will regret this! You will pay for your stupidity! Today's humiliation, I will wash away with the lives of an entire city!"
Seeing Xue Qi revived before him, Caesar, who was standing beside them, was already stunned on the spot. The scene before him was far beyond his imagination.
But Li Xiaotian's gaze remained cold as he charged directly at Xue Qi, unleashing another saber strike.
"Li Xiaotian, how dare you!!! You can't kill me, so why court death? Don't you know that every time you kill me, you will pay a hundred times, a thousand times the price!!"
Xue Qi roared at the sight, his face contorted, but he did not dare to meet Li Xiaotian's attack head-on. After all, each revival weakened his strength.
"Can't die? Heh, it seems that old fellow from the Sea of Blood has done a lot of brainwashing on you, ignorant ones!"
Li Xiaotian sneered. The Sea of Blood cultivation technique only possessed powerful recovery abilities, and because the Sea of Blood was rootless and source-less, it could not be extinguished. However, those who cultivated the Sea of Blood technique did not possess such trump cards.
Killing him a few more times would suffice!
"Boom!" Xue Qi was struck again, his body almost splitting apart, but soon, blood surged throughout his body, forcing his form back together. However, this time, his aura was even weaker.
"What do you mean? Brainwashing? The Master is a supreme being, and its cultivation technique is the greatest in this world. When it says we cannot die, we cannot die!"
Xue Qi roared, but his eyes flickered with uncertainty. He could feel his strength diminishing. If this continued, would he really die?
No! He couldn't die! He wouldn't die! It was just a weakening of his strength. At worst, he would absorb more human blood to recover later.
And now, the most important thing was to escape. Only by escaping would he have a chance!
However, before he could react further, Li Xiaotian's attack arrived again.
One saber! Two sabers! Three sabers!
Each strike heavily injured Xue Qi, forcing him to use his blood to recover. In just a few breaths, all the blood he had absorbed in the past few days was depleted, and he even suffered a significant deficit, having used his very essence.
"Aaaahhhh!!!! Li Xiaotian, you deserve to die!!!"
Xue Qi roared, his expression filled with grief and indignation. As his strength waned, his resistance against Li Xiaotian weakened, and he no longer even had a chance to escape.
Moreover, the precision with which his opponent landed each blow was just right, leaving him critically injured and forcing his innate cultivation technique to activate without his control to recover, thus continuously weakening him.
He had been at the peak of the Emperor rank earlier, but now, he had fallen to the middle stage of the Emperor rank. How much blood would he need to absorb to recover from this? By then, the strength of other blood descendants would have far surpassed him.
"Stop! Stop it! Li Xiaotian, what do you want?"
Xue Qi panicked, his heart filled with fear. He couldn't bear to imagine that if Li Xiaotian continued to target him like this, he might eventually fall to the King rank, or even the Soldier rank?
"I said you deserve to die, so you must die!"
Li Xiaotian's voice was ice-cold as he reached out to seize Xue Qi, sealing him with energy to prevent his escape.
"Damn it! Let me go! Li Xiaotian, it's useless, you can't kill me! Let me go, and today, I'll pretend nothing happened!"
Xue Qi's face was somber, his eyes filled with hatred. He swore that if he ever escaped, he would launch a frenzied retaliation against Li Xiaotian, making him pay for his actions today!
"Hmph!"
Li Xiaotian snorted, sealing Xue Qi and rendering him immobile, even unable to speak.
The sealed Xue Qi floated motionlessly in the air like a puppet, unable to break free from Li Xiaotian's seal no matter how hard he struggled.
"What... what is going on? Can he really not be killed?"
It was only now that Caesar snapped back to his senses. Seeing Xue Qi sealed by Li Xiaotian, he was filled with shock. If he couldn't be killed, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he pleased in the future? Not to mention the Sea of Blood that covered the entire combat zone; if it breached the zone, wouldn't Earth face its doom?
Thinking of this, Caesar's face turned pale, and his heart was filled with dread.
"No one is truly immortal. His recovery ability is simply terrifying. As long as your attack power surpasses his recovery ability, you can instantly kill him! However, within the same tier, it is indeed rare for someone to be able to kill him, unless there are special means."
Li Xiaotian said indifferently. Having cultivated the Sea of Blood technique, he knew the terrifying aspects of it better than anyone.
But even the most monstrous recovery ability was futile in the face of absolute strength. Just like Xue Qi before them, while difficult to kill for them, facing a Hegemon-level expert, perhaps a casual strike from them could obliterate him.
Of course, Li Xiaotian also had other means to deal with Xue Qi, which was his Demonic Devouring Art. The opponent only devoured blood, while he could devour anything.
It was just that with Caesar present, Li Xiaotian refrained from devouring Xue Qi.
"Attack power must be strong to kill the opponent."
Caesar muttered to himself, his complexion regaining its color. He too possessed ultimate moves that enhanced his attack power. Thinking of Xue Qi's strength, if he were to encounter him, he was confident he could deal with the opponent.
At this moment, the villagers in the mountain village saw Xue Qi sealed by Li Xiaotian. They all shakily stood up, their faces filled with apprehension as they looked towards Li Xiaotian.
"You are safe now. It would be best for you to move into the city in the future; it is safer there than outside."
Li Xiaotian spoke to the villagers, his expression complex. Truth be told, he was the one who had brought this upon them.
