Zhao Qian didn’t stop there. She tiptoed and, like a pigeon returning to its nest, transformed into a gust of wind, diving into Qi Tian’s embrace. As she ran, she cooed, “Husband, I feel so cold, hug me quickly.”

A gleam of sharpness flashed across the corner of Qi Tian’s eyes as he loudly reprimanded, “You really don’t shed tears until you see the coffin, do you?”

Just as Zhao Qian was about to throw herself onto him, Qi Tian swiftly kicked out, striking Zhao Qian’s body hard and causing her chest to cave in.

Zhao Qian flew backward, slamming into the wall and sliding to the floor. She spat out blood, but didn’t die immediately. With innocent eyes, she looked at Qi Tian and said, “Husband, why are you so heartless?”

“Still deluded at this point. You really are persistent.”

Qi Tian looked at Zhao Qian coldly. With a flick of his wrist, the Wolf Teeth Knife he had repaired shot out, striking right at Zhao Qian’s heart. With eyes filled with disappointment, Zhao Qian gazed at Qi Tian and said, “Husband, your heart is truly cruel.”

Qi Tian paid no further attention to Zhao Qian, simply awaiting the illusion to dissipate. He thought that since Zhao Qian was likely the core of this illusion, now that he had eliminated this core, the illusion should also disappear. However, much to Qi Tian’s surprise, even though Zhao Qian lay on the ground, the illusion didn’t vanish. He remained in the bridal chamber, causing a momentary daze in his mind. He wondered if he had made a mistake in his judgment? Had he really killed his own bride?

But Qi Tian quickly shook off this moment of confusion. He coldly looked at the Zhao Qian lying on the ground, curious to see what other tricks she might pull. At that moment, someone banged on the bridal chamber’s door, shouting, “Qi Tian, come out quickly, His Imperial Majesty has come in person, you and the bride should quickly come out to meet His Majesty.”

The person outside knocked several times, and finding no response from inside, suddenly yelled, “Why is there a smell of blood? Has something happened? Qi Tian, quickly open the door, open the door.”

The door to the bridal chamber was soon broken down, and Mansion Master Xiao Xiaowu along with the Emperor of Great Zhao Nation, accompanied by a group of people, barged in. They were shocked and appalled to see Zhao Qian, killed by Qi Tian, lying on the ground.

Xiao Xiaowu, unable to believe his eyes, murmured, “What’s going on here? Can anyone tell me what happened?”

The Emperor’s face was somewhat blurred, unclear as to what he actually looked like. Pointing at Qi Tian, he angrily exclaimed, “Qi Tian, you have such audacity! I bestowed Princess Zhao Qian to you in marriage, yet you’re so treacherous. On the very first day of your wedding, you killed the Princess. I really misjudged you. Guards, what are you waiting for? Arrest Qi Tian at once!”

A group of people pounced toward Qi Tian. They appeared fierce and aggressive, determined not to give up until they had apprehended Qi Tian.

At this moment, Qi Tian finally confirmed something—the illusion enveloping him didn’t have Zhao Qian as its core, but rather the Emperor himself. He casually pulled out the Yonghe Stick, knocking away one after another of the attackers flying toward him. Then, he rushed headlong toward the Emperor.

The Emperor’s face turned to fright, and he loudly screamed, “Protect me, protect me!”

More and more people surged forward, but none stood a chance against Qi Tian. Not a single one could withstand his blow. Yet, although weak, their numbers were overwhelming. After one group was downed, another wave rushed in, endless as if there would be no end.

The Emperor stood outside the crowd, watching everything with a cold and mocking smirk on his lips, as if watching a monkey being toyed with.

Qi Tian sensed that something was amiss. He noticed that those who had initially rushed at him had clear features, but as more came, their faces became increasingly vague, evolving to the point where they had no facial features at all, and yet they still lunged at Qi Tian. When knocked down by Qi Tian, instead of turning into corpses, they dissipated into wisps of smoke, then reformed and continued their relentless attack. It wasn’t just them—even the Zhao Qian he had killed had already vanished, turned into some unknown form, persistently charging at him.

Qi Tian naturally wouldn’t let this situation continue. Since merely using the Yonghe Stick couldn’t kill them off for good, he had to alter his strategy slightly. As he continued to wield the Yonghe Stick, fending off these incessant attackers, he summoned the Transporting Whirlwind. The moment they were hit by the Yonghe Stick, before they could turn into smoke, the Transporting Whirlwind swept them away, depositing them into the storage chamber of the Heavenly Dao Engine, swiftly converting them into fuel.

With this tactic, the number of attackers plunging at Qi Tian sharply decreased within a short time. What was a hundred strong soon dwindled to only a few dozen, then diminished further to just a handful.

Observing from afar, the Emperor realized something was wrong and hastily ordered a halt to the attacks on Qi Tian, turning to leave.
