Li Guanyi, clad in a fiery red phoenix battle robe, exuded a heroic aura and unparalleled beauty, a formidable female Martial Emperor.
She alone held the three thousand powerhouses of the Dragon King's Hall in check, preventing them from making any rash moves, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
Even Ye Tian, the Dragon King, known for his arrogance, held Li Guanyi in deep awe!
This was the frontier's female Martial Emperor, the foremost female war god of the Li family, guarding the border of the Dragon Country.
Li Guanyi and Li Xingye shared the same surname, Li. Could there be a connection between them?
"Brother Xingye, we meet again. You've grown even more handsome!"
Li Guanyi ignored Ye Tian and smiled charmingly at Li Xingye, saying.
"Sister Guan Guan, why are you here?"
Li Xingye glanced at the stunning Li Guanyi, feeling a bit of a headache.
Li Guanyi must be a sister from his own clan. Their ancestors were from the same family eight hundred years ago, all descendants of the Tang imperial family.
However, Li Guanyi was the eldest daughter of the main Li lineage, of noble status.
While Li Xingye was merely an unknown youngster from a collateral branch of the Li family.
Five years ago, during the clan genealogy revision, Li Xingye accompanied his parents to the main Li family and had met Li Guanyi once.
Li Guanyi had not looked down on Li Xingye because he was from a collateral branch, but instead showed him great favor and care.
After five years apart, Li Guanyi had become even more captivating, and had also grown into a female Martial Emperor.
"Sister is here to avenge you!"
"A mere first-rate influential family dares to kill someone from my Li family."
Li Guanyi's anger flared, and her gaze swept over Bai Bingyue, causing her to feel a stinging sensation as if being scorched by flames.
Clearly, Li Guanyi considered the Li family members in Ningjiang City as part of the Li clan.
"I can avenge this myself!"
Li Xingye said, giving Li Guanyi a grateful look.
Although he was a member of a collateral branch of the Li family, after nearly a thousand years of development, the Li clan members numbered in the tens of thousands.
It could be said that the current Li clan was one of the top three super-families in the Dragon Country.
Li Guanyi still remembered him, and had rushed from the frontier to Jiangcheng to avenge him. Li Xingye was still grateful.
However, he wanted to avenge this himself.
"I'm sorry, Brother Xingye, for arriving late!"
"For three years, Sister was fighting enemies at the frontier and only recently received the news."
Li Guanyi said apologetically.
Upon learning that the Li family in Jiangcheng had been wiped out, Li Xingye had been thrown into the river, and Li Xingcai had been kept like a pig, she had been furious. She had immediately crossed thousands of miles from the frontier and rushed to Ningjiang City.
Seeing that Li Xingye and his sister were still alive, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Li Xingye, you... you're from the thousand-year-old Li family!"
Bai Bingyue exclaimed in shock upon learning of Li Xingye's identity.
Even if Li Xingye was merely a member of a collateral branch of the ancient Li clan, the Bai family, a first-rate influential family, could not afford to offend him.
Her forcing Li Xingye to become a live-in son-in-law for the Bai family was simply a joke.
"Bai Bingyue, even the mightiest deity coming here today cannot save you!"
"And that Dragon King Ye Tian is no exception!"
Li Xingye walked step by step towards Bai Bingyue, not even glancing at Ye Tian.
"The woman whom I, Ye Tian, the Dragon King, protect, no one can harm her even a single hair."
Ye Tian said with a smirk, shielding Bai Bingyue tightly.
If Bai Bingyue died, his mission would be a complete failure.
"The Four Dragon King Envoys, stop Li Xingye and kill him."
Ye Tian commanded the White Dragon Envoy, Black Dragon Envoy, Azure Dragon Envoy, and Golden Dragon Envoy.
"Yes, Dragon King!"
The White Dragon, Black Dragon, Azure Dragon, and Golden Dragon Envoys received the Dragon King's order and encircled Li Xingye from the four cardinal directions to attack him.
"How dare you lay a hand on my Brother Xingye, you're courting death!"
Li Guanyi was furious.
"Swish!"
Li Guanyi drew her Sword of Slaughtering the Dao. A sky-shattering sword energy shot upwards, filled with murderous intent.
With a flash of sword light, the Four Dragon King Envoys were all bisected, instantly killed!
"Sword of Slaughtering the Dao!"
"Run!"
Ye Tian turned pale with fright.
Seeing that the female Martial Emperor had even brought the terrifying weapon, the Sword of Slaughtering the Dao, he hurriedly fled with Bai Bingyue.
The female Martial Emperor Li Guanyi, wielding the Sword of Slaughtering the Dao, was not an opponent even for his senior sister.
"Everyone from the Dragon King's Hall, stop them!"
As Ye Tian fled, he did not forget to command his subordinates.
Instantly, three thousand strongmen from the Dragon King's Hall surged towards Li Xingye.
"Brother Xingye, you go pursue them."
"These trash from the Dragon King's Hall are for Sister to handle."
Li Guanyi said with a smile to Li Xingye, regarding the three thousand strongmen of the Dragon King's Hall as mere ants.
"Mm."
Li Xingye nodded slightly and pursued Bai Bingyue and Ye Tian.
Three thousand strongmen from the Dragon King's Hall swarmed from all directions, blocking Li Xingye's path.
These strongmen of the Dragon King's Hall were not rabble; each was a seasoned and powerful warrior.
"Riiip!"
A dazzling sword light tore through the air.
Li Guanyi unleashed the Sword of Slaughtering the Dao, tearing space itself, with chaotic winds raging.
With just one sword, over a thousand strongmen from the Dragon King's Hall perished.
"Uh... Sister Guan Guan is a bit too fierce!"
Li Xingye glanced back at Li Guanyi and continued his pursuit of Bai Bingyue.
His figure flickered, and as if stars shifted, he instantly appeared in front of Bai Bingyue and Ye Tian.
"Li Xingye, how... how did you get in front of us?"
Ye Tian was shocked, not expecting Li Xingye's speed to be so astonishing.
Moreover, the three thousand strongmen from the Dragon King's Hall could not even hold Li Guanyi back for a moment, and more than half had already been slain.
"I told you, not even the mightiest deity can save Bai Bingyue."
Li Xingye said coldly.
"Li Xingye, you are seeking death!"
"Taste my Ice Soul Divine Needle!"
Ye Tian's face contorted with killing intent, and he suddenly threw a tiny golden needle at Li Xingye.
This was his unique skill.
Under a surprise attack, almost no one could withstand his Ice Soul Divine Needle.
However, a delicate flying knife appeared in Li Xingye's hand.
"Whoosh!"
The flying knife shot through the air, directly deflecting the golden needle.
Then, the flying knife, its momentum unabated, transformed into the most beautiful blade light in existence, instantly piercing Ye Tian's forehead.
"Flying knife!"
"This... this is... the legendary unerring flying knife!"
Ye Tian's eyes widened in disbelief, dying with his eyes open.
He never imagined that after regaining his Dragon King status, and before he could make a name for himself and shake the world, he would die by Li Xingye's flying knife.
"Heh heh... a mere tiny golden needle, how can it compare to my Li Xingye's flying knife?"
Li Xingye scoffed.
Then, he casually picked up Ye Tian's golden needle.
It had to be said that this Dragon King Ye Tian was a super nouveau riche, possessing many treasures.
Besides the golden needle for healing and treating injuries, Li Xingye also took Ye Tian's Black Dragon Card.
This was an anonymous black card, containing immeasurable wealth.
The key was that anyone who possessed this Black Dragon Card could spend as they pleased.
