Long Xiaotian

Long Xiaotian, the Patriarch of the Taiji Sect, is the main antagonist during Xie Yan's quest in the world of Qun Xiong.

Plot
Long Xiaotian was once Xie Yan's most trusted friend. Together, they founded the Taiji Sect. However, Long Xiaotian was conspiring against Xie Yan and eventually, with the help of Xie Yan's wife Hua Nongyue, he poisoned his best friend and imprisoned him in his own dungeon for five years. After usurping Xie Yan's position as the Patriarch of the Taiji Sect, Long Xiaotian slaughtered thousands of people in his lust for power, while torturing Xie Yan in the dungeon. After consolidating his power, Long Xiaotian visits Xie Yan in the dungeon, where he gloats about stealing Xie Yan's wife and possessions, and killing Hong Tongtian, the head of the Five Peaks of Heaven and Earth. He had used Xie Yan's jade pendant to create the Boundless Gold Body technique and had stolen Xie Yan's Demonic Cultivation Sword, which could easily penetrate even the most robust of defensive techniques. With the ultimate offence and defence in his possession, Long Xiaotian boasts of his invincibility and plans to establish his supremacy before murdering Xie Yan.

A few hours later, Xie Yan (after transmigration) escapes the prison. He sends the demonic practitioner, Wang Ding against Long Xiaotian to test the latter's abilities. After watching Long Xiaotian kill Wang Ding, Xie Yan escapes and spends the next few days cultivating his Finger Of Flowery Swords, which far surpasses all the martial arts of Qun Xiong.

Long Xiaotian succeeds in slaying the other martial artists of the Five Peaks and presumptuously proclaims himself as the world's greatest martial artist. Moments later, Xie Yan arrives and challenges Long Xiaotian to a duel. As the battle rages between the two men, Long Xiaotian begins to panic when his abilities are no match for Xie Yan's Finger Of Flowery Swords. After shattering the Demonic Cultivation Sword, Xie Yan demolishes the Five Peaks mountain and hacks off Long Xiaotian's right arm. Long Xiaotian begs Xie Yan to spare him, only to be decapitated. Xie Yan reclaims his jade pendant and merges it with his system. In the wake of the incident, Xie Yan purges Long Xiaotian's followers and becomes renowned as the world's greatest martial artist. After killing Long Xiaotian, Xie Yan murders his treacherous wife, Hua Nongyue along with hundreds of martial artists, completing his quest.

Trivia

 * His surname, Long means "dragon", and his name, Xiaotian means "Roaring Heavens". It is a pun on Long Aotian, a cliché name for an overbearing protagonist.
