Qi Yinglong was filled with dread and regret. If he had known this would be the outcome, he would never have obeyed Tian Qilin's command to mobilize the army, not even at the cost of his life.
"Slap!" Li Shanhai slapped him again, gritting his teeth.
"You scoundrel! As the commander of the Great Qin army, you failed to adhere to Great Qin's regulations and easily followed someone else's orders. Are you a dog? Do you have any brains at all? Anyone can command you? What use is a commander like you to Great Qin!"
Li Shanhai did not lower his voice, so everyone around heard his words.
In the distance, Tian Qilin's face turned red upon hearing this, but he merely paused before leaving in anger.
Li Shanhai, good! I've noted you down!
Qi Yinglong knelt on the ground, begging for mercy. He knew he was finished. His position as commander of the Capital Army was gone, and he wasn't even sure if he would survive.
Just as Tian Qilin and the others were getting further away, Li Xiaotian spoke with a somber face.
"Tian family, this matter is not over today. The people of Dragon King Hall will not die in vain. Tian Qilin, I've noted you down. Be careful in the future!"
Those accompanying Tian Qilin were about to get angry, but Tian Qilin stopped them. He looked back at Li Xiaotian, his eyes filled with disdain.
"Just you? Dragon King Hall? Heh, if you wish to die, the Tian family welcomes it anytime. This world is far bigger than you can imagine!"
With that, he left quickly with his entourage.
Li Xiaotian's eyes were filled with killing intent as he stared intently at Tian Qilin's receding back. This time, he had been careless and let Long San die in vain, but he would soon avenge Long San!
"Let's go!" Li Xiaotian said coldly, leading his subordinates to prepare to leave.
"Mr. Li, this matter was my oversight. I was set up," Li Shanhai said quickly, looking apologetic. He then glanced sharply at Qi Yinglong, who was kneeling on the ground, and directly struck him with his palm.
"Bang!" Qi Yinglong died instantly before he could even cry out.
"Mr. Li, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. For the upcoming actions, you will take the lead. I guarantee you that such a thing will never happen again!"
Li Shanhai said with sincerity, feeling immense guilt. However, to deal with the Ancient Martial Alliance, he needed Li Xiaotian's support. The Ancient Martial Alliance had too many powerful individuals. Although Great Qin had a considerable number of War Gods, he was unsure how many of them belonged to the Ancient Martial Alliance, so he could only place his hope on the War Gods of Dragon King Hall.
Furthermore, every War God of Dragon King Hall was exceptionally powerful, far exceeding ordinary War Gods. With them, he dared to confront the Ancient Martial Alliance.
Li Xiaotian glanced at him, his expressionless. Although he knew Li Shanhai was innocent, his brother had died due to the other's carelessness.
"Whether it was intentional or unintentional, you have achieved your goal. From now on, I, Li Xiaotian, will not rest until the Undying Ancient Martial Alliance is annihilated!"
Li Xiaotian said coldly. His brother could not have died in vain. Even if he were alone, he would make the Ancient Martial Alliance pay a heavy price!
The battle on East Mountain ended in a way no one expected. The four great families were not destroyed, nor was Li Xiaotian's Dragon King Hall.
However, it left everyone in a state of shock that lingered. After all, Li Xiaotian's side had nearly wiped out the four great families. If not for the intervention of the Capital Army, all members of the four great families would likely have perished.
What shocked everyone even more was the Capital Army's intervention and the appearance of the Tian family. Only then did those ordinary noble families realize the true first noble family of Great Qin, the true imperial family of Great Qin!
A single Tian Qilin could easily command the commander of the Capital Army. One should know that Qi Yinglong's status was considered high in Great Qin, a figure many noble families aspired to, yet this important figure acted like a subservient servant before Tian Qilin.
But in the end, the various noble families became increasingly curious about the Ancient Martial Alliance, and they eagerly anticipated the future conflict between Li Xiaotian and the Ancient Martial Alliance.
Dragon King Hall, the premier force in the war zone, and the Great Qin Ancient Martial Alliance – who among the two was stronger?
At the Dragon Palace Hotel, Li Xiaotian held a yellowed book, his eyes shimmering with brilliance.
Bai Family Palm Technique
This was the martial art passed down by the Bai family. Bai Tianxia had brought the strong members of the Bai family to the capital. Only two War Gods guarded the Bai family old residence. After the Dark Division members infiltrated, they easily annihilated the Bai family.
And the Bai Family Palm Technique was the most significant gain after the annihilation of the Bai family!
Li Xiaotian sneered. Although he didn't wipe out the members of the four great families today, he had destroyed the Bai family old residence himself!
He really wanted to know what Bai Tianxia's expression would be upon learning that his family had been destroyed. And the other three families, and Tian Qilin!
This is just the beginning! Li Xiaotian murmured. If you provoke me, you must be prepared for my fierce retaliation!
Putting aside these thoughts, Li Xiaotian looked at the Bai Family Palm Technique in his hand. He had personally experienced Bai Tianxia's combat prowess. The old man, who was over a hundred years old, was by no means weaker than him, clearly due to this palm technique.
Li Xiaotian was not stubborn. He never let go of anything useful from his enemies.
Flipping through the book, Li Xiaotian carefully read its contents and could not help but marvel at the wisdom of the ancients.
True Qi!
It turned out that the main source of Bai Tianxia's strength was True Qi. Although his body was old, the older he got, the more abundant his True Qi became, and thus, his strength increased.
Li Xiaotian's eyes flickered. With his current strength, if he practiced the Bai Family Palm Technique, his power would likely increase further.
War God. To date, War God is the highest peak recognized globally for individual martial prowess. Li Xiaotian's current strength is that of a peak War God.
If he cultivated the Bai Family Palm Technique, his strength might surpass that of a War God, beyond the War God realm! A gleam flashed in Li Xiaotian's eyes.
At the same time, Bai Tianxia, along with the remaining members of the Bai family, bid farewell to Tian Qilin and, with dejected spirits, prepared to return to the Bai family old residence.
Bai Tianxia looked back at his followers, his heart filled with sorrow. He had thought that this expedition would easily eliminate Li Xiaotian and defend the Bai family's dignity.
Instead, they were almost annihilated. If the Tian family had not intervened, they might not have had a chance to return.
"Li Xiaotian!" Bai Tianxia growled through gritted teeth. This time, his son and grandson were dead. This was a blood feud that had to be avenged!
"Patriarch, although we lost this time, the Bai family's foundation is still intact. Li Xiaotian won't be able to be arrogant for long!" one of the Bai family War Gods said.
"Yes! The Bai family's foundation is still intact. We were careless this time, but next time, we will never give Li Xiaotian a chance to turn the tables!" someone said, their face full of hatred.
Bai Tianxia took a deep breath and nodded.
"This time, Li Xiaotian has completely offended us four great families and the Tian family. Young Master Tian said before leaving that in three days, our families should gather our forces to seek revenge! To defend the dignity of the ancient martial families! At that time, Li Xiaotian must die! Li Shanhai must also die!"
