Li Bing and his Heavenly Army warriors had arrived with great fanfare, only to depart in disgrace.
He hadn't even managed to see Li Xiaotian's face, and in the end, he was injured by Li Shanhai, an utterly humiliating experience.
At the Dragon Palace Hotel, Li Xiaotian stood by the window, watching Li Bing and his entourage depart, a glint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Behind him, Long Yi grinned and spoke.
"Big Brother, Li Shanhai is also a War God! He seems quite powerful."
"As the top commander of the War Department, Li Shanhai wouldn't be able to command the entire department if his own strength was insufficient. Remember, the number of War Gods in the War Department isn't small."
Li Xiaotian said calmly, unsurprised that Li Shanhai was a War God.
Long Yi's eyes flickered, and he continued.
"Big Brother, can you see Li Shanhai's strength clearly? I feel that the few moves he used to discipline Li Bing just now, the damage he unleashed, I'm no match for him."
Li Xiaotian chuckled. "When Li Shanhai became a War God, we were all still young. He hasn't made a move for over a decade since he became the top commander of the War Department."
"It seems that his strength hasn't decreased at all over these past ten years, and has instead become even greater."
"Then, Big Brother, between you and Li Shanhai, who is stronger?" Long Yi's eyes sparkled with excitement. One was their King, a new generation War God powerhouse, and the other was an elder War God. If these two were to clash, it would surely be a visual feast.
Li Xiaotian glanced at Long Yi, gazing at the alley where Li Shanhai had disappeared, his tone casual.
"We'll only know for sure after a fight."
Long Yi pouted, somewhat dissatisfied with Li Xiaotian's answer.
"What? Feeling itchy?" Li Xiaotian shot him a look.
"No, nothing of the sort." Long Yi quickly waved his hands.
Li Xiaotian shook his head, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. There were too many people from the War Department outside the Dragon Palace Hotel. He believed that the individuals Li Shanhai had revealed while intercepting Li Bing were only a small portion.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaotian smiled and shook his head. It seemed his actions this time had made the Da Qin high command nervous again.
However, even so, he still had to destroy the Li family. He didn't want to wait any longer for this revenge.
"Pass down the order, we can begin the operation," Li Xiaotian commanded.
"Yes, Big Brother!" Long Yi immediately responded, his spirit soaring, a strong killing intent in his eyes.
At the same time, at the old Li family residence, Li Bing returned in a fury. The Li family had already learned of Li Chaoyue's demise at the hands of Li Xiaotian.
"Second Brother, what happened? Where is Li Xiaotian? Where is that beast?" Li Zhi, seeing Li Bing returning empty-handed, immediately grew anxious. His son was dead, and upon hearing that Li Bing had found Li Xiaotian's hiding place, he had expected Li Bing to bring Li Xiaotian back.
"Big Brother!" Li Bing opened his mouth, unsure of what to say. After all, with his return, the Li family's martial power could be considered extremely strong. Yet, under such circumstances, Li Chaoyue had still been killed by someone, which left him feeling very uncomfortable.
"It was Li Shanhai. He intercepted me with people from the War Department, and he's also a War God, with strength superior to mine!" Li Bing gritted out.
"Li Shanhai!!" Li Zhi's eyes immediately turned red. He was filled with immense pain. His son was dead, and his brother went for revenge, only to be stopped by Li Shanhai.
"Argh! Li Shanhai! Li Xiaotian!!" Li Zhi roared.
"Li Shanhai has been protecting Li Xiaotian. He has made up his mind to be an enemy of my Li family! Damnable!" Li Weihai said with a gloomy expression.
