A figure suddenly appeared before Li Xiaotian, a middle-aged man in ancient attire, standing before Tian Qilin.
"Third Uncle! Third Uncle! Save me! Save me!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Tian Qilin's heart filled with excitement. However, a flash of hatred crossed his eyes, and he immediately spoke.
"Third Uncle, kill Li Xiaotian! I want him to kneel before me and confess his crimes!"
Tian Qilin's Third Uncle remained silent, instead staring intently at Li Xiaotian, his body tensed.
Li Xiaotian's expression turned solemn. The opponent was a formidable expert, feeling considerably more powerful than Bai Tian.
"The Tian family, huh? Sending out six War Gods in one night. Truly worthy of royalty, with such deep reserves," Li Xiaotian remarked calmly, advancing unhurriedly.
Seeing this, Tian Qilin's Third Uncle grabbed Tian Qilin and hoisted him onto his shoulder. He then cast a cold glance at Li Xiaotian and said in a chilling voice.
"Li Xiaotian, you're lucky tonight. You won't be so fortunate next time. The might of the Tian family is more terrifying than you can imagine. Hmph!"
With that, he retreated rapidly into the darkness with Tian Qilin. Tian Qilin's voice echoed from a distance.
"No! Third Uncle, I'm not leaving! Go and kill Li Xiaotian, kill him!!"
Seeing this, Tian Qilin's Third Uncle knocked him unconscious with a palm strike, filled with anger. Li Xiaotian had annihilated six War Gods. While his own strength was not weak, if he were to engage and fail, who would protect his foolish nephew during his escape?
Li Xiaotian stood his ground, his eyes filled with seriousness. Although he hadn't made a move, he knew that if the opponent wished to leave, he couldn't stop them.
"Is this the power of ancient martial arts?" Li Xiaotian murmured, feeling a hint of danger from the other party.
Furthermore, the War Gods of ancient martial arts families were somewhat more powerful than those he had encountered in the war zones.
"Ancient martial arts!" Li Xiaotian's eyes flickered, as if he had discovered a new continent, his heart filled with excitement. This was a path to becoming stronger. He intended to collect all the cultivation techniques of these ancient martial arts families to strengthen himself and the Dragon King Hall!
Upon returning to the Dragon Palace Hotel, the corpses had already been cleared, and the room was cleaned. However, the damaged walls and doors would take time to repair.
Li Xiaotian didn't pay much attention to it. He changed rooms and meticulously reviewed his conflict with the ancient martial arts families.
The ancient martial arts families had begun their counterattack, but Li Xiaotian was not overly concerned. He had long ago given the Bai family's palm techniques to his subordinate War Gods for their cultivation.
Therefore, when encountering ordinary experts from the ancient martial arts families, his people were more than capable.
It was important to note that his side's advantage was that they were already War God experts, possessing a foundation, allowing them to cultivate true qi at a faster pace and achieve greater strength!
The War Gods of the ancient martial arts families accumulated their strength through true qi. While their power was considerable, compared to the people of the Dragon King Hall, they were still at a disadvantage.
After all, every War God in the Dragon King Hall had been forged through combat, possessing ample battle experience.
This was evident from the assassination he had faced that night. The five Tian family assassin War Gods, though seemingly powerful, had rather rigid attacks and their coordination was inferior to the ordinary members of his subordinate Dark Division.
Under similar conditions, his Dark Division members could likely toy with the assassins from that night to death.
The night passed in the blink of an eye. During this night, there were no less than a hundred clashes between the two forces, with casualties on both sides.
However, Li Xiaotian's side sustained fewer losses. Some of his people, even when ambushed by the ancient martial arts families, managed to kill their opponents and complete their missions.
That night, not a single War God expert from Li Xiaotian's side died, nor were any injured. On the side of the ancient martial arts families, three War Gods perished.
It could be said that the Tian family and other families suffered heavy losses that night.
Helpless, several major families urgently recalled their members stationed abroad. They finally understood that in such battles, they were no match for the Dragon King Hall.
Early in the morning, Li Shanhai rushed to the Dragon Palace Hotel, his expression grave.
"The Tian family sent people to assassinate you last night?" Li Shanhai asked urgently.
"Yes, six War Gods came, and I killed them all. Finally, another powerful individual arrived, but I didn't engage him," Li Xiaotian stated calmly, his demeanor serene.
However, in Li Shanhai's ears, it was as if a colossal wave of shock had been stirred within him. Six War Gods! All killed!
After all, they were from the Tian family, their strength undoubtedly superior to ordinary War Gods. Yet, Li Xiaotian had killed them all without sustaining any injuries!
Li Shanhai took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil within him. But he also felt a sense of relief, realizing he had found an excellent helper!
"This morning, the Tian family suddenly convened all the ancient martial arts families. They must be preparing for a full-scale counterattack!" Li Shanhai said with a grave tone. He had rushed over immediately after receiving this news. His original intention was to deal with each family one by one, but he hadn't expected them to unite so soon, which made the situation much more complicated.
The combined strength of over a dozen ancient martial arts families was formidable in terms of their number of experts. Mishandling this could lead to disastrous consequences!
"Counterattack? Heh, no, I won't give them a chance to counterattack! The more people they have, the longer they will simply delay their demise," Li Xiaotian replied plainly. His people had experienced more large-scale battles than meals, while how many major wars had these secluded ancient martial arts families participated in over the years?
"What do you plan to do? Is there anything you need me to do?" Li Shanhai asked.
"Send me the Red Dragon. Also, I've dispatched half of the Dragon King Hall's personnel. The war zones might be in danger. Send people to guard the Dragon King Hall for me; I need my rear secure!"
Li Xiaotian stated that he still had opponents in the war zones, including the remnants of the Assassin Alliance and a mysterious force that had been constantly obstructing him from the shadows. If they were to cause trouble at this time, he would have to return to the war zones to suppress them.
"No problem!" Li Shanhai readily agreed. At worst, he could dispatch several large armies from the military. If Li Xiaotian could eliminate the ancient martial arts alliance, it would be a great service to Qin.
Li Xiaotian's people began to return successively. All surviving members of various families who were outside were quickly withdrawn; they were afraid and no longer wished to continue losing lives.
Even the formidable Tian family was in emergency evacuation. Moreover, the Tian family convened an alliance meeting, clearly intending to consolidate their strength to deal with Li Xiaotian.
Li Xiaotian's eyes flickered. While the Tian family had summoned all the major families, people from those families would not be able to reach the Tian family today. The furthest ones would need at least two days.
For him, two days were enough to accomplish many things. Since he would eventually face a life-or-death struggle with the ancient martial arts alliance, it would be better to strike first and eliminate some enemies.
Furthermore, for him, the inherited martial arts of those ancient martial arts families were crucial factors in rapidly improving the strength of his side. He did not want to miss this opportunity!
