Chapter 1292: Chapter 0740: Hooked_2 Chapter 1292: Chapter 0740: Hooked_2 The Wolf Teeth Knives were quickly shot toward him, and Manager Chen, yet again, tried to rely on his strong control of cultivation to dodge all the Wolf Teeth Knives. However, Qi Tian was too ruthless this time, and the number of Wolf Teeth Knives he shot at once was just too many. Eventually, Manager Chen’s human abilities were limited, and he failed to dodge all the weapons as he had the previous time. In the end, several Wolf Teeth Knives struck him, and new holes were added to Manager Chen’s body.

Manager Chen let out a loud laugh, seemingly not taking the injuries on his body seriously at all. He shouted, “Qi Tian, if you’ve got the skills, then shoot even more Wolf Teeth Knives at me. I’ll make you realize that at my level of strength, a few measly Wolf Teeth Knives can’t pose any threat to me. They’re all just a mere cheep.”

A cold smile appeared on Qi Tian’s lips. Through the sensing function of the Heavenly Dao Engine on Spirit Qi, he could clearly detect that Manager Chen’s consecutive encounters with the Wolf Teeth Knives seemed harmless, but each time, to deal with the Wolf Teeth Knives, he had to release death energy, which was still a significant drain on him.

These drains had two obvious effects on Manager Chen: one was that his steps had halted, and he no longer continued moving towards the door of the Inner Underground Palace’s tomb; the other effect was a certain degree of weakening in Manager Chen’s aura. Although the degree was not large, if this continued, it was foreseeable that Manager Chen’s power could temporarily plummet to the First Level of the Nascent Soul Stage.

“Manager Chen, since you think the Wolf Teeth Knives pose no threat to you, then please be ready to meet the third wave of Wolf Teeth Knives,” Qi Tian said. “Right now, other than the Wolf Teeth Knives, I have no other methods left. Let’s just play with these together.”

As he spoke, Qi Tian pulled out a large handful of Wolf Teeth Knives, aimed at Manager Chen, and threw them directly, without any hesitation.

The colors in the remaining pair of eyes on Manager Chen’s snow-white skull changed. At that moment, he wanted to curse up a storm; he had no idea where Qi Tian got so many Wolf Teeth Knives from. If he remembered correctly, once a Wolf Teeth Knife was launched, wasn’t it supposed to be scrapped? How come Qi Tian had so many? Could it be that Qi Tian had mastered the method of manufacturing them?

If that was truly the case, then did it mean that Qi Tian might possess an endless supply of Wolf Teeth Knives? While the idea might be exaggerated, it was still possible that Qi Tian had several hundred knives. Currently, Qi Tian was only shooting a dozen or so at a time, and several hundred meant Qi Tian could use this tactic dozens of times. For Manager Chen, this was sheer torture. If this continued, Manager Chen would likely deplete all his death energy, making it impossible for him to be as relaxed as he was now.

Manager Chen couldn’t predict if Qi Tian still had other attack methods at his disposal. This little guy was like a bottomless pit. Every time he thought Qi Tian had run out of tricks, Qi Tian always surprised and frightened him with something new.

Manager Chen didn’t want to continue such a battle; it was too suffocating for him. He clearly possessed an advantage in cultivation and strength but was unable to capitalize on it. Manager Chen blamed all of this on the unfavorable environment of the Inner Underground Palace and knew he had to change this.

Manager Chen took a look at the direction of the Inner Underground Palace’s tomb door. Qi Tian’s blockage was too tight, making it impossible for him to break out in a short time. If the time stretched any longer, and his strength weakened due to Qi Tian’s harassment, he might not even have the chance to break out. So in an extremely short time, Manager Chen changed his decision, no longer considering the tomb door of the Inner Underground Palace as his primary choice for breaking through.

As Qi Tian shot out the Wolf Teeth Knives once more, Manager Chen suddenly changed his previous dodging and death energy releasing tactics. He leapt in the direction the Transporting Whirlwind was pulling him, and in almost the blink of an eye, he broke free from most of the whirlwind’s entanglement. His speed surged as he headed straight for the nearest Teleportation Array.

Qi Tian had already scouted out where the Teleportation Arrays were located within the Inner Underground Palace. He wanted to set ambushes near these arrays, but circumstances did not allow it, so he could only watch helplessly as Manager Chen rushed towards that Teleportation Array.

Fortunately, this was a scenario Qi Tian had anticipated. None of the Teleportation Arrays of the Inner Underground Palace led directly outside the Saint’s Tomb; they all corresponded to the Outer Palaces. It was precisely because Qi Tian was sure of this that he went through great pains to set up ambushes around the Teleportation Arrays of the Outer Palaces, just waiting for Manager Chen to take the bait.

Manager Chen was unaware that Qi Tian had already made preparations. Perhaps he had already guessed something. After entering the Teleportation Array, when he selected the corresponding Teleport Point, he deliberately avoided all the exposed Teleportation Arrays. Then, among the more hidden ones, he chose one closest to the tomb entrance of the Outer Palaces. After that, he activated the Teleportation Array.

A flash of white light shimmered within the Teleportation Array, and Manager Chen disappeared.

Qi Tian immediately deployed the sensing function of the Heavenly Dao Engine, locking down every corner of the Saint’s Tomb’s Inner Underground Palace and Outer Palaces firmly. In the next instant, he felt a Teleportation Array in the Outer Palaces had been triggered, standing out from the rest.

The corner of Qi Tian’s mouth curled up. He really wanted to see with his own eyes what sort of pathetic state Manager Chen would be in, but that had become impossible. After all, his speed couldn’t surpass Manager Chen’s who had used the Teleportation Array. By the time he rushed over, Manager Chen should have already been ambushed.

Manager Chen, once ambushed, would certainly be in a dire situation, but Qi Tian knew he still needed to make some preparations. He took out a handful of Wolf Teeth Knives and shot them all out once again.

These Wolf Teeth Knives didn’t fly towards a single target, but scattered based on Qi Tian’s judgment, with two to three knives aiming at each Teleportation Array within the Inner Underground Palace.

The Wolf Teeth Knives fell in a flurry, piercing into the Teleportation Arrays of the Inner Underground Palace, and directly destroying them all, leaving none usable.

Just as Qi Tian was about to nod in approval, he heard a scream from the direction of the Outer Palaces, more heartrending than the cry of a wildcat whose tail had been stepped on.

It was Manager Chen’s voice.

Qi Tian made an accurate judgment immediately. The Heavenly Dao Engine provided him with a three-dimensional holographic image, from which he could clearly see that Manager Chen’s body was stained with Millennium Corpse Water, not just in one area, but in several, covering a large extent.

A resentful cry from Manager Chen came from the Outer Palaces, “Qi Tian, Qi Tian, how could you be so ruthless? To lay an ambush with Millennium Corpse Water. Aren’t you afraid that Wanjie Commerce, learning that I’ve died at your hands, will seek revenge on you afterward?”

Qi Tian did not answer Manager Chen’s question. Instead, he manipulated nine demonic faces, glaze sand, and the Transporting Whirlwind, placing them at the tomb entrance of the Inner Underground Palace. He aimed to prevent Manager Chen from making a desperate move, surging back to the Inner Underground Palace and taking him down with him.

However, Qi Tian’s worries never came to pass. After Manager Chen was contaminated by the Millennium Corpse Water, he kept cursing with his mouth, but his hands never ceased moving. With the determination to make a quick decision, he discarded all the parts of his body stained with Millennium Corpse Water, including one of his legs and several ribs, casting them off without hesitation.

Afterward, Manager Chen activated the Teleportation Array under his feet once more. Having lost a leg, it was difficult for him to make it to the tomb entrance of the Outer Palaces, and now his only option was the Teleportation Array.
