Killing Intent Unleashed, Powerful Reinforcements Descend

Just as Elder Li Tianji prepared to sacrifice himself to cover the rear and fight for a sliver of survival for the younger generation, the system prompt suddenly rang out in Li Xuansheng's mind like heavenly music:

[Ding! Detected that the host has encountered a fatal crisis. Emergency choice mission triggered!]

[Choice One: Escape successfully. Lead more than half the members away from the battlefield. Reward: 50 Summoning Points, one random Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.]

[Choice Two: Resist successfully. Repel the Qiu Family's offensive and force them to abandon the pursuit. Reward: 100 Summoning Points, one Level 95–98 Summoning Card.]

[Choice Three: Kill successfully. Leave behind at least one Super Douluo or an equivalent core combatant. Reward: 200 Summoning Points, one Level 99 Limit Douluo Summoning Card.]

The rewards increased with each choice, and naturally, so did the difficulty. Simply escaping might still be possible with their trump cards and Elder Dongyue Qingxuan's desperate protection. But resisting, let alone killing? To anyone else, that would have been nothing more than a madman's dream.

Yet a trace of determination and ruthlessness flashed through Li Xuansheng's eyes. Since the Qiu Family had already harbored murderous intent, if they merely fled in disgrace this time, their enemies would only become more relentless next time! Only by hurting them—perhaps even tearing off a piece of their flesh—could they make them wary and buy the family more time!

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Xuansheng immediately communicated with the system. "Use the Level 97–98 Summoning Card!"

[Ding! Level 97–98 Summoning Card used successfully! Beginning random summon...]

[Summoning...]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Successfully summoned a Level 98 assault-type Super Douluo—Long Tianwu!]

Almost the moment the system prompt ended, Li Xuansheng continued issuing orders. "Use another 150 Summoning Points for a Summoning Points summon—Li Changlong!"

[Ding! Consumed 150 Summoning Points. Successfully summoned Level 92 Titled Douluo—Li Changlong!]

[Current remaining Summoning Points: 350.]

"System, add the Li Bloodline to Long Tianwu and Li Changlong and rationalize their identities! Set it as follows: the two of them are Li Family members who traveled abroad in their early years in search of breakthroughs. Now that their cultivation has greatly advanced, they happened to pass by, sensed their clansmen's danger, and came to help!"

[Ding! Consumed 100 Summoning Points for Long Tianwu (Li Tianwu) and 50 Summoning Points for Li Changlong (Li Changlong). Identity rationalization complete! Bloodline successfully added!]

[Current remaining Summoning Points: 200.]

All of this sounded lengthy, but in truth, it was completed within a single thought of Li Xuansheng's.

Just as the killing intent in Qiu Qiansha's eyes surged and he prepared to give the order—

"Qiu, you old bastard, do you think the Li Family has no one left?!"

A clear, resounding howl came from the distant horizon like a dragon's roar. The sound waves rolled forth, shaking the valley until echoes rang without end! Along with that cry came a vast, razor-sharp sword intent, terrifying enough to seem capable of tearing apart the heavens, sweeping in like a storm!

The next moment, a figure streaked across the sky like a meteor and crashed down before Li Xuansheng and the others. The newcomer was a man who appeared to be only around thirty, yet his brows carried an unquestionable authority and the calm steadiness of one who had weathered countless years. He wore a simple azure robe, but invisible sword qi seemed to surround him, slicing the air until it gave off faint hissing sounds. Nine soul rings rose beneath his feet—two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red. The bewitching red ninth soul ring proclaimed his terrifying strength as a Level 98 Super Douluo!

He was Long Tianwu. He came from the War God Hall of Douluo Continent and had once held the esteemed position of Second War God, bearing the title Emperor Sword! He had devoted his entire life to the sword, his swordsmanship reaching the divine. With the Emperor Sword in hand, he had challenged powerful experts across the land and achieved brilliant results. Later, he retired in pursuit of a higher realm of swordsmanship. Now, arranged by the system, he had returned under the identity of a secluded Li Family expert.

"Tianwu... are you Brother Tianwu?!" Elder Li Tianji froze at first, then seemed to recall some long-buried family secret. Unbelievable ecstasy instantly erupted across his face!

Li Tianwu slightly turned his head and nodded at Li Tianji and Li Xuansheng. His gaze softened for a moment. "Tianji, and Young Master Xuansheng, it has been a long time. Let me deal with these petty fools first."

His gaze shifted toward Qiu Qiansha, and his eyes instantly turned cold and sharp. "Qiu Qiansha, if you wish to touch members of my Li Family, have you asked the Emperor Sword in my hand?"

Qiu Qiansha's expression became incomparably ugly. He had never imagined that the Li Family had concealed such a powerful sword Douluo! Moreover, the other party also possessed a hundred-thousand-year soul ring! Although his own level was one higher, he had suffered internal injuries. Facing a swordmaster of the same tier who was in peak condition and possessed such overwhelming offensive power, he no longer had any certainty of victory.

Yet before he could recover from the shock Long Tianwu had brought—

"Roar—!"

Another earthshaking beast roar rang out, but this roar did not come from a soul beast. Instead, it carried an ancient, savage, tyrannical aura! A massive figure burst from the forest on the other side like a cannonball and slammed heavily into the ground, kicking up dust that filled the sky.

As the dust dispersed, it revealed an old man with a burly, iron-tower-like frame. His beard and hair were completely white, but his complexion was ruddy. His tiger-like eyes radiated majesty even without anger, and his knotted muscles brimmed with explosive power. Nine soul rings shone around him as well—two yellow, two purple, and five black. The formidable aura of a Level 92 powerhouse erupted without restraint. Under Martial Soul Possession, his hands transformed into sharp claws covered in dark golden scales, emitting a chillingly ferocious aura.

He was Li Changlong. He came from Shrek Academy and had once served as the commander of Shrek Academy's Beast King Battalion, bearing the title Beast King! He had spent his life dealing with soul beasts. Fierce and domineering by nature, his fighting style was broad and forceful, and he excelled at close-quarters combat. The system had likewise established him as a powerful Li Family branch member who had gone out to train in his early years.

"Hahahaha! How could such a lively scene be missing this old man?" Li Changlong's voice boomed like a great bell. His gaze swept across the Qiu Family members, filled with undisguised fighting spirit and contempt. "A pack of worthless trash dares to surround and kill members of my Li Family? Who gave you the nerve?!"

He grinned at Li Xuansheng and Li Tianji, then clasped his fists. "Li Changlong greets the Young Master and Elder Tianji! I have returned from my travels just in time!"

Li Tianji was so excited that he could no longer speak. The joy of surviving a desperate situation filled his chest. Though Li Xuansheng knew the truth, he cooperatively revealed a delighted expression. "The return of you two seniors is truly Heaven's blessing upon the Li Family!"

The expressions of the Qiu Family members had already turned ugly beyond compare.

Qiu Qiansha stared fixedly at Li Tianwu and Li Changlong, his heart filled with uncertainty. Since when had the Li Family gained these two unfamiliar Titled Douluo? And both were so formidable! One was a Level 98 sword Douluo, while the other was a Level 92 assault-type beast martial soul Douluo... The situation that had been securely within his grasp had been reversed in an instant!

"Attack!" Qiu Qiansha was a true ruthless hero. He knew they could not delay. Since they had already formed a deadly enmity, they had to seize the moment when the enemy reinforcements had only just arrived and had yet to gain a firm footing, then crush them with thunderous force! His body flashed, wrapped in towering black radiance, and he went straight for Dongyue Qingxuan, the greatest threat to him!

At the same time, he shouted sharply, "Qian Lie, you and Old Ten—the Level 95 Super Douluo—hold back Li Tianwu! Qian Jiu and Yu Qi, deal with Li Tianji and Li Changlong! The rest of you, take down the Li Family juniors. Kill without mercy!"

Several Titled Douluo moved at the command, each pouncing toward their targets. Meanwhile, several Soul Douluo and Soul Sages charged toward the younger generation led by Li Xuansheng with savage killing intent, like ravenous wolves!

Dongyue Qingxuan and Qiu Qiansha instantly clashed. Black radiance collided with azure light, erupting in a world-shaking roar.

Li Tianji roared, his Sky Phoenix Halberd blazing with towering flames as he charged toward a Titled Douluo.

Li Changlong laughed wildly and fearlessly took the initiative to charge at a Titled Douluo. His Darkgolden Claw tore through the air!

Facing the powerful enemies surging toward them like a tide, Li Xuansheng's gaze was icy. The Divine Phoenix Halberd lay across his chest, Azure Luan Wings already spread behind him as golden-red flames began to rise. Li Xuanbei, Dongyue Ling, Dongyue Xuejian, and the others at his side also released their martial souls, ready to fight to the death.

In the midst of battle, Li Tianwu slashed out with a sword, directly cutting down several Soul Sages and Soul Douluo. The remaining Soul Douluo were filled with terror, yet they no longer dared to move.
