"Presumptuous!"
"Audacious! Li Xiaotian, do you truly believe that your late-stage Emperor-level strength and a Heavenly Soldier make you invincible?"
The three from the Beast Taming Sect were instantly enraged upon hearing Li Xiaotian's words, their faces turning grim.
They understood Da Qin's stance on reclaiming lost territories: either the resurgent forces surrendered, or they left Da Qin.
What they hadn't expected was Li Xiaotian's intention to annihilate their entire sect, which filled them with anger and shock.
Why was Li Xiaotian treating their Beast Taming Sect differently?
Li Xiaotian's aura was icy cold. He looked at the three Emperor-level experts from the Beast Taming Sect and then spoke in a chilling voice.
"The Beast Taming Sect breeds demonic beasts and feeds them the humans of Zheng City, treating the people of Da Qin as ants. If you are not exterminated, how can we do justice to those Da Qin people who perished in the bellies of those beasts?"
"Hmph! Just a bunch of ants. Li Xiaotian, don't be a sentimental woman. Use the lives of these ants to make our Beast Taming Sect strong. In future decisive battles, our Beast Taming Sect will kill even more demonic beasts. This is the general trend. Li Xiaotian, if you want to destroy our Beast Taming Sect, your meager forces are likely insufficient!"
Someone sneered. It was the Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect, also at the late-stage Emperor-level. His eyes were icy, and with a wave of his hand, a thunderous roar echoed from behind him in Zheng City.
"Kill!"
The gates of Zheng City opened, and a thousand demonic beasts surged out. Simultaneously, all the Emperor-level experts of the Beast Taming Sect mobilized.
In an instant, eight figures, exuding terrifying auras, floated above Li Xiaotian's position: five Human Emperor-level experts and three Beast Emperors.
On the ground, a thousand demonic beasts roared, each carrying a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, their killing intent palpable.
"Li Xiaotian, if you retreat now, there is still a chance for survival. Our Beast Taming Sect can overlook your previous reckless words!"
The Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect spoke, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
Li Xiaotian had only brought ten thousand troops. Although the numbers were significant, their Beast Taming Sect disciples and demonic beasts fought in coordination, with one person and one beast capable of holding off over ten humans. Moreover, they had eight Emperor-level experts to Li Xiaotian's three.
Even if Li Xiaotian was powerful, what of it? If they joined forces, Li Xiaotian could not overcome them!
Li Xiaotian chuckled, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. He had expected the Beast Taming Sect to defend Zheng City and engage them, but he hadn't anticipated their arrogance in coming out to fight.
Li Xiaotian glanced at the ten thousand soldiers behind him, among whom were two thousand Demon Soldier warriors.
"Brothers, charge! Leave no one alive!"
"Kill!" Ten thousand soldiers roared, brimming with fighting spirit, their eyes filled with intense killing intent.
"You court death!" The Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect's eyes flashed with anger. A powerful aura erupted from him, and he, along with the five Emperor-level experts, instantly charged towards Li Xiaotian.
Concurrently, the remaining two Beast Emperors advanced towards Li Xiaotian's other two Emperor-level experts.
On the ground, the forces of both sides clashed directly, and the slaughter instantly commenced.
"Roar!"
"Kill!" The heavens and earth were filled with the sounds of combat and the roars of demonic beasts.
High above, Li Xiaotian looked at the six figures surrounding him, a grin on his face as a long saber appeared in his hand.
"Die!" The six Emperor-level experts of the Beast Taming Sect attacked simultaneously, unleashing fierce techniques. They knew Li Xiaotian was terrifyingly powerful, so they held nothing back.
"A mere jumping clown." Li Xiaotian sneered. The long saber hummed, emitting a blinding light as it was instantly swung.
"Boom!" A massive roar erupted, and a terrifying wave of energy dispersed.
"Damn it!" The Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect's expression changed slightly, a sense of shock welling up within him. Li Xiaotian had blocked their attack with a single saber strike, and not even at a disadvantage.
"Whoosh!" Instantly, Li Xiaotian moved, saber in hand, directly towards a Beast Emperor.
"Not good!" The faces of the Beast Taming Sect members changed drastically. Li Xiaotian's reaction was too swift; they all moved to intercept him.
"Aow!" A mournful cry echoed as Li Xiaotian directly cleaved a Beast Emperor with his saber.
"Boom!" The Beast Emperor's body instantly exploded, dying on the spot, with others unable to reach in time for rescue.
"Damn it! Li Xiaotian, you court death!!!" The Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect roared, his heart trembling. Li Xiaotian's strength had grown even greater, killing a Beast Emperor with a single strike.
"Killing you is as easy as flipping my hand." Li Xiaotian sneered. His cultivation had never stopped. Without absolute certainty of victory, how could Da Qin choose to wage war at this time?
"Kill!" Li Xiaotian roared, his eyes bloodshot. The Beast Taming Sect, in order to breed demonic beasts, fed them humans. Zheng City had millions of people before, but now there were less than a million.
In just half a year, Zheng City's population had decreased by eighty percent, which filled him with rage and killing intent.
And there were many such cities within Da Qin. He only regretted his own slow actions and the slow pace of his strength improvement.
Da Qin could tolerate some resurgent forces, but for forces like the Beast Taming Sect, Da Qin's stance was only one: annihilation!
"Bang!" Another Emperor-level expert was instantly killed by Li Xiaotian's saber. Upon witnessing this, the Beast Taming Sect members began to feel fear. Li Xiaotian's strength was too terrifying.
"Gather together!" The Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect roared, his eyes bloodshot. He refused to believe that his sect, which had survived the ancient wars, would be destroyed in this era by a Da Qin he had once looked down upon.
He could not accept this!
"Kill!" The Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect roared, burning his internal energy, fighting desperately.
Li Xiaotian directly met the onslaught head-on, his saber humming, and simultaneously, the Heavenly Tablet within him stirred.
"Bang!" The Heavenly Tablet suddenly flew out, directly crushing one person. Following that, Li Xiaotian's saber flashed, slashing towards another.
"Ah!!! No!!!" Someone cried out in disbelief, but was instantly cut in half by the saber.
In mere moments, only three Emperor-level experts remained on the battlefield.
At this moment, the Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect felt a chill in his heart. He regretted not requesting reinforcements earlier due to underestimating Li Xiaotian.
Now, their entire sect's power was no match for Li Xiaotian alone, filling his heart with dread.
Meanwhile, on the ground battlefield, the Demon Soldiers were in the vanguard, followed by ordinary martial artists. All of them were bloodthirsty, giving the impression that they themselves were demonic beasts, while the demonic beast army of the Beast Taming Sect seemed like domesticated animals, unable to resist.
It was important to note that Da Qin's warriors had experienced battles with the demonic beasts of Wan Shou Mountain, and the wars they had endured were several times more terrifying than the current conflict.
"Li Xiaotian! Do you truly intend to show no mercy? Our Beast Taming Sect also participated in the ancient wars and contributed to humanity. The Beast Taming Sect can submit to Da Qin!"
The Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect roared, his heart in a panic. Only now did he realize that Da Qin had, without anyone noticing, grown into a colossal power.
