Chapter 1270: Chapter 0730: It Will Be The Death of Her_2 Chapter 1270: Chapter 0730: It Will Be The Death of Her_2 As for the Wolf Teeth Knife, it was left behind during the chase, due to the Rescue Jade Talisman and the Transporting Whirlwind. Since it had not managed to catch up from the beginning, there was no point in expecting anything later.

This outcome made Qi Tian sigh. Was he going to face endless pursuits from Wanjie Commerce hereafter?

Despite his resignation, Qi Tian still needed to focus on resolving the problems in front of him. Putting others aside, he had to deal with Wang Fengna first, and then Manager Chen. Regardless of the future, he needed to settle the scores with those who had tricked him more than once. He wanted to alleviate the frustration and dissatisfaction in his heart.

When Wang Fengna emerged from the Saint’s Tomb just now, she had thrown out over a dozen items, among which, besides two Rescue Jade Talismans, the rest were all to enhance her personal defense. These were divided into two parts: one was a Defensive Array, and the other, draped over her body, was a set of armor with astonishing defensive power. From this armor, Qi Tian sensed the presence of a Nascent Soul Stage aura.

Qi Tian remembered clearly that when he entered the central area, he had encountered Wang Fengna, who had no aura of a Nascent Soul Stage Magic Weapon on her. This armor did not exist back then, and its sudden appearance meant that Wang Fengna had been extremely lucky during her exploration of the Saint’s Tomb and had made a remarkable discovery.

The Defensive Array that Wang Fengna had just set up had not reached the Nascent Soul level, but it was above the Half-step Nascent Soul level. In the entire Imperial Family Secret Territory, it was considered top quality. As for its origin, Qi Tian could not be certain, but there was a seventy to eighty percent chance that the origin of this Defensive Array was the same as that of the armor.

Wang Fengna watched with wide eyes as her sent Rescue Jade Talisman disappeared, having set up her Array and donned her armor. The unease in her heart instantly vanished like smoke. She expanded her Divine Sense, eyes shining as she looked in Qi Tian’s direction.

“Who goes there, you sneak thief hiding in the dark, afraid to show your face? If you have the guts, come out so I can see just who thinks they’re so holy.”

Wang Fengna was very confident, and her expression and tone betrayed no sign of panic or tension to others.

Qi Tian no longer continued to hide his presence; he stood up from his hiding spot and looked straight at Wang Fengna, saying, “Vice Alliance Leader Wang, we meet again.”

Wang Fengna glanced at Qi Tian and immediately recognized him. She said, “Aren’t you the kid who entered the core area with the Princes? How come you’re here? Where are the others?”

Manager Chen had set up a tight perimeter around the Saint’s Tomb, and Wang Fengna didn’t believe Qi Tian could have gotten through these defenses to this place on his own. He must have had help, and it must be quite powerful, with a significant number of people. She needed to understand this to prepare for the upcoming battle.

Qi Tian smiled and said, “Vice Alliance Leader Wang, it seems I have to disappoint you. I don’t have any helpers; I made it here on my own.”

Wang Fengna snorted coldly and said, “Don’t spout nonsense to me. Do you think I would believe you? With your abilities, how could you have possibly arrived here safe and sound? You definitely have helpers; you were thrown out as bait by them, like a fisherman’s lure. It looks tempting, but once swallowed, it’s bad news. Don’t bother covering for your accomplices, you can’t fool me. You’d better signal for them to come out. I might let bygones be bygones for them, but if you persist in your folly, don’t blame me for not being polite.”

Wang Fengna spoke with an air of arrogance, which had always been her style. Even before she entered the Imperial Family Secret Territory, she was just as unlikeable.

Qi Tian didn’t want to explain anything to Wang Fengna, nor did he want to waste his time on her. He said, “That’s just the way it is, and I can’t be bothered to waste words with you. Vice Alliance Master Wang, I know it hasn’t been easy for you to cultivate up to this day. I can give you a chance, as long as you sign a Servant Pact and acknowledge me as your master, I can let you off and allow you to become my servant. I won’t kill you.”

Wang Fengna seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, throwinng back her head in laughter, she said, “You must be out of your mind to joke about such a thing with me. It seems you have grown tired of living. Since that’s the case, I’ll just chop off your head, and if you still have such demands then, you can mention them to me, and I might consider it.”

Wang Fengna wasn’t just talking big; she took action too. She released a flying sword, stood in place without moving, and simply tossed the sword into the air and pinched a spirit rune, controlling the flying sword as it slashed towards Qi Tian.

Wang Fengna’s move was very clever, ensuring her safety while allowing her to exert significant combat power. However, she overlooked one detail: Qi Tian would never just stand there and allow her flying sword to attack him.

During his exploration of the Saint’s Tomb, Qi Tian’s gains were substantial, absolutely incomparable to the measly rewards Wang Fengna had obtained. If he chose to, he had plenty of ways to break her flying sword and leave her without any opportunity.

Qi Tian didn’t waste any time, nor did he use his gains from the Saint’s Tomb; although valuable, he had merely stored them in the Heavenly Dao Engine’s storage chamber and hadn’t refined them, making it difficult to fully unleash their combat potential.

Qi Tian resorted to the simplest and most brute-force method, waving his hand to release all nine ghost faces in his possession. With a mere pointing gesture at Wang Fengna, he didn’t even need to speak; the nine ghost faces, understanding his intent, some pounced towards the flying sword, some towards the Defensive Array, and others directly towards Wang Fengna herself.

Ghost faces and Transporting Whirlwind were different entities; aside from Qi Tian, no one else, by any means, could even hope to see the Transporting Whirlwind. Ghost faces, on the other hand, although initially invisible to Wang Fengna, had suddenly appeared and ferociously lunged at her.

Wang Fengna had seen her fair share of battles; in the Saint’s Tomb, she was almost always at the forefront, fighting against various beings and paying a hefty price. Yet she dared swear to the heavens, never had she encountered an enemy as sinisterly perilous as this.

More than half of the nine ghost faces were at the Nascent Soul Stage, and they were terrifying. Even facing just one of them, Wang Fengna felt no confidence, let alone now that so many had suddenly appeared, it was almost the end of her line.

At that moment, what Wang Fengna wanted most was to turn and run, but that was just a fleeting thought, she dared not turn it into action. If she ran away now, death would be the only outcome awaiting her, there would not be a second option. However, if she could remain in place, relying on the Defensive Array she had set up and her Nascent Soul Stage armor, she might be possible to withstand this deadly threat.

If she could hold on, waiting for Manager Chen in the Saint’s Tomb to swallow the Pill Spirit and digest the recent chances, then Manager Chen might advance to the Nascent Soul level, at which point he could come to her aid as a true Master of the Nascent Soul and, with some luck, completely annihilate the nine ghost faces.

Wang Fengna had been optimistically estimating this scenario all along. She was not unaware of the grave danger posed by the nine ghost faces; even describing it as a narrow escape from death was already exceedingly hopeful.
