Chapter 54 -0054: Defeat Five People

Just as Li Xiong, Zhou Haomin, and others harbored their own thoughts, Qi Tian’s fist, wrapped in flames, has already struck hard on Li Xiong’s Stone Spirit Light shield.

Crack…

What broke was not Qi Tian’s arm, but Li Xiong’s human-grade top-grade Spirit Military shield, which cost tens of thousands of taels of silver and was custom-made. The Stone Spirit Light shield shattered like a mirror being smashed, splintering into pieces in an instant.

Hiding behind the shield, Li Xiong was in a bad state. He was sent flying directly, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. His internal organs were bleeding out due to Qi Tian’s punch.

“How is this possible?” Wei Shengnan, the deputy chief of the Green Water Temple, stood up in shock. He knew perfectly how powerful Li Xiong’s Stone Spirit Light shield was and how astonishing Li Xiong’s talent in strength was. In his opinion, among the cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Stage, only top cultivators like Han Chengnuo at the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation Stage could break through Li Xiong’s defense with their fists alone, without relying on other means. Yet Qi Tian, who is only at the Second Level of Qi Cultivation, how could he deliver such a punch that set souls trembling.

“The power of seven tigers! No doubt, this punch definitely had the power of seven tigers. Master Han, your National Master Manor has really kept a low profile.” Bai Yuqian of the Snow Sect had a gloomy face. She suddenly realized that they had underestimated the strength of the National Master Manor. With the emergence of a dark horse like Qi Tian, the upcoming preliminary competition would be challenging. Their people had to take every step with caution to potentially turn defeat into victory.

Han Chengnuo laughed out loud. He had felt frustrated from the start of the preliminary competition. He didn’t expect Qi Tian to deliver such a powerful punch. It was refreshing and extremely satisfying.

Inside the arena, after Qi Tian’s punch blew up the Stone Spirit Light shield and sent Li Xiong flying, Zhou Haomin and the other two changed their expressions. Their previously relaxed pace had become slower for some, while others had sped up. Those who slowed down lost their confidence in defeating Qi Tian and felt approaching him was akin to courting death. Whereas those who sped up hoped that everyone could unite, step forward together, and kill Qi Tian with a flurry of chaotic punches.

As a result, Zhou Haomin ended up at the forefront. With a human-grade middle-grade Spirit Sword in his hand, he stabbed towards Qi Tian. At this time, the nearest person to him was still four or five steps away, and the person farthest away was as far as seven or eight steps away.

Qi Tian did not shut down the Heavenly Dao Engine. This time, he used most of its multiplying effect on his footwork. The speed of the Chasing Wind Step increased to almost twenty meters. With a slide step, he not only dodged Zhou Haomin’s sword but also moved under Zhou Haomin’s armpit. He smashed into Zhou Haomin with his back and sent the delicate Zhou Haomin flying.

Zhou Haomin also spat out a mouthful of blood. At this moment, she felt like Qi Tian was an animal. He not only smashed her body to the point it was nearly falling apart, but it also seemed like her soul was knocked out by Qi Tian.

In pain, she couldn’t hold the Spirit Sword in her hand, and it slipped out.

Qi Tian reached out his hand to grab the Spirit Sword. As soon as he channeled the True Essence into the Spirit Sword, the Spirit Sword emitted a dazzling brilliance.

Spirit Military cannot be imprinted with personal marks. Anyone who holds it can use it normally.

Originally, the two male cultivators following Zhou Haomin did not expect Qi Tian to be so powerful, who had effortlessly taken down both Li Xiong and Zhou Haomin. Both were somewhat alarmed, dared not to besiege Qi Tian anymore, and turned to run in the attempt to widen the gap first.

Qi Tian flicked the Spirit Sword, stepped on the ground for three consecutive steps, used the sword like a whip, and snapped at the cultivator nearest to him.

The cultivator screamed and was whipped away, falling to the ground and groaning in pain.

Qi Tian continued to chase after the other cultivator. Just when he was about to catch up, he suddenly felt a whooshing wind coming from behind. Before he could turn his head to see what was happening, something struck him hard from the back.

Qi Tian could not stop and rushed forward for two steps. He then turned around and saw it was a large stone weighing two to three hundred pounds that hit him. You can imagine how terrifying its power would be with such weight and its superfast speed.

Qi Tian couldn’t help but feel relieved. Fortunately, he had bought a top-notch human grade middle-grade Spirit Military inner armor to wear, otherwise, he would have suffered badly from just that hit.

Qi Tian turned to the man who had claimed to rest on the sidelines from the beginning. At this time, he was the only one who could have executed such a tactic.

The man sneered continuously. In his hand were several paper talismans. When Qi Tian looked over, he directly threw the talismans into the air and formed several gestures.

Suddenly, these talismans turned into several boulder-sized stones, whistling towards Qi Tian as if they were launched by a catapult.

Qi Tian narrowed his eyes and watched the flying stones. After judging their landing point, he gathered wind under his feet, activated the Heavenly Dao Engine-enhanced Chasing Wind Step, and easily dodged the stones. Without stopping, Qi Tian rushed towards the man.

The smirk on the man’s face grew stronger. He reached into his coat and pulled out a foot-long, earthy yellow staff. He waved it in the air between him and Qi Tian, and a thick wall of earth immediately appeared.

“Qi Tian, don’t think that because you have a bit of strength, you can stop me from obtaining the qualification to participate in the County Master selection battle. Today, I, Lu Caihui, will let you see the power of the top-grade Human Grade spirit tool that I commissioned for a hundred thousand taels of silver.”

As Lu Caihui spoke, he waved his staff continuously, erecting four earth walls in a row, trapping Qi Tian in the middle. He then shouted at the last remaining cultivator, “Zhang Guangyao, don’t just stand there, hurry up.”

Just as the cultivator was about to attack Qi Tian who was surrounded by the earth walls, Qi Tian had already punched a hole through the earth wall and continued running towards Lu Caihui.

Seeing this, Zhang Guangyao hastily stopped and turned around to run again.

The cold light in Lu Caihui’s eyes flickered as he waved his staff, placing ten earth walls between him and Qi Tian. “Qi Tian, you’re pretty capable, huh? If you can break all ten walls at once, I’ll admit defeat.”

When Qi Tian broke the four walls surrounding him earlier, he found that these earth walls were rather solid. However, they could only withstand about a thousand pounds of force – with his current strength, breaking ten walls wasn’t a challenge. But doing so would take some time.

Qi Tian had no intention of following Lu Caihui’s pace. He leaped onto the first wall and then bounced from one wall to the next. Like a cat, he quickly jumped towards Lu Caihui.

Lu Caihui was preparing a new spell. Judging from his incantations and the waving of his staff, it was likely a powerful spell.

Qi Tian gave his Spirit Sword a shake, lept down from the wall, and stabbed straight towards Lu Caihui.

Lu Caihui never expected Qi Tian to break his ten Earth Wall Skills this way. He had already recited half of his spell and didn’t have the time to switch to a different spell. He had to forcibly stop reciting the current one. As a result, his True Essence reversed and the consolidated Spirit Qi dissipated, causing backlash. He spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the ground.

Qi Tian walked over and picked up Lu Caihui’s top-notch human-grade staff. “You tried to sneak attack me with a spell, nearly causing me to get injured. Consider this staff as compensation for my mental damage. As for the rest, I won’t hold you accountable.”

Lu Caihui lay on the ground, pointing at Qi Tian without being able to utter a word. The backlash had left him so depleted that he couldn’t even speak.

“Perfect!” Han Chengnuo, sitting high on the VIP stand, clapped excitedly. “This is what I expect of someone from the National Master Manor—quick to settle debts of gratitude and grievance, never letting them extend overnight.”

Chen Gang, who sat next to him, and was from the same faction as Lu Caihui, looked gloomily. The staff was something his Qi Feng Pavilion got customized for Lu Caihui for thirty thousand tales of silver. How could he possibly be okay with Qi Tian just taking it away? But at this moment, arguing with Han Chengnuo was unrealistic.

Qi Tian put the staff into his pocket and then turned to face the last opponent, saying, “Do you want to surrender now, or should I make you surrender?”

The man didn’t dare to get any closer to Qi Tian. Initially, he wanted to resort to talismans or spells to tackle Qi Tian, just like Lu Caihui did. However, now he was the only one left on the field. Without anyone holding Qi Tian back, and given that casting spells takes time, Qi Tian would have enough time to knock him down with a punch.

“I surrender.”

Qi Tian nodded, turned around, and walked towards the VIP stage. He saluted those on the stage and said, “Lord, Qi Tian is honored to be the champion of this County Master selection pre-qualification.”

“Excellent, you’ve done well. Liang Xiaolong, come here, take Qi Tian to the Returning Nest Palace to receive his reward. Give Qi Tian his deserved reward first. Then don’t let Qi Tian leave. Take him to Huangque Hall, I have something to discuss with him later.” Han Chengnuo carried a triumphant air, and was very satisfied with Qi Tian.

Liang Xiaolong could finally breathe. It cost him no small effort to convince Cheng Qing and the others to participate in the County Master selection pre-qualification. As for Qi Tian, he was brought only due to an impulse of appreciating his talent. He didn’t expect Qi Tian to achieve much. He never expected that Cheng Qing and his comrades in arms would suffer a complete defeat; and in the end, it was Qi Tian who saved the day, defeating Zhou Haomin, Li Xiong, and Lu Caihui among others. He secretly celebrated that he had asked Qi Tian to come along yesterday. Otherwise, the Imperial Master Mansion would have suffered a great loss today, and as the steward responsible for this matter, he would have been in trouble as well.
