As it turned out, Qi Tian’s concerns were not unfounded. He was now hiding in the dense fog, controlling the Transporting Whirlwind, which was bound to cause him some trouble. He had to carefully prevent the Transporting Whirlwind from sucking away the fog as energy. In addition, he had to accurately judge the direction of the flying swords that Zhao Deyi might control to attack him, and then use the Transporting Whirlwind to entangle the swords.

Zhao Deyi didn’t give Qi Tian much time. His determination to kill Qi Tian had always been unwavering from the beginning, and he naturally wouldn’t allocate time for Qi Tian to think about how to counter him. Under his control, the flying swords struck frequently like venomous snakes that had found their prey. Based on his intuitive judgment, every angle chosen by the swords was extremely tricky and precise, always posing a great danger to Qi Tian. If it weren’t for Qi Tian possessing the Heavenly Dao Engine, which could sense Spirit Qi and allow him to timely and accurately grasp the direction of the sword attacks and adjust his position accordingly, he would have been pierced like a sieve by now. Even if he had nine lives like a cat, he would have been long dead.

Qi Tian dared not hesitate any longer. Even with the miracle item like the Heavenly Dao Engine, he couldn’t guarantee that he would always be lucky enough to dodge the attacks. In the battle with Zhao Deyi, the initiative had always been in Zhao’s hands. Being the attacker, Zhao launched frequent strikes, giving no respite, while Qi Tian could only defend. The saying went, “A prolonged defense surely leads to defeat.” If he couldn’t reverse this situation and continued to remain on the defensive, he would sooner or later be stabbed by a flying sword. Once injured, his reaction speed would inevitably decline drastically. By then, it would be impossible to continue contending with Zhao Deyi as he was doing now.

Qi Tian’s palm opened to a black void, and he summoned all the Transporting Whirlwinds from the storage chamber of the Heavenly Dao Engine. He scattered them around himself to provide the necessary protection while also attempting to block Zhao Deyi’s flying swords.

Zhao Deyi’s intuition was extremely sharp. As soon as Qi Tian summoned the Transporting Whirlwinds, Zhao felt an uncontrollable change occurring within the dense fog that severed his Divine Sense, a change that was distinctly unfavorable to him.

Zhao Deyi discerned that if he allowed this change to continue, the tide of battle might also turn against him. He had to maintain the battlefield at a level that was to his advantage before the situation completely reversed.

Zhao opened his mouth and spat out a Banana Fan. With a pinch of a Spirit Rune, the Banana Fan grew large with the wind, instantly becoming the size of a table. Zhao raised the Banana Fan and fanned viciously towards Qi Tian’s location.

This Banana Fan was no ordinary item. Like the flying sword that had caused Qi Tian so much trouble, Zhao had obtained it after successfully undergoing tribulation, grabbing it from the air. Both were Nascent Soul Level divine treasures and, in fact, among the finest of the Nascent Soul artifacts.

The Banana Fan had no other function. Its sole purpose, when wielded, was to create wind. However, this was no ordinary wind. Each gust created by the Banana Fan possessed enough power to shake a Nascent Soul Master. If a Master was unprepared, they would at the very least stagger back several steps, or at worst, be blown away. It was incredibly formidable.

One can imagine that if even a Nascent Soul Master could be affected, what would be the consequences for other things caught in this wind?

Zhao Deyi intended to use this feature of the Banana Fan to generate a wind to blow away the dense fog enveloping Qi Tian, exposing him completely. Of course, if he could simultaneously fan Qi Tian about like a rolling calabash on the ground, unable to even stand, reducing him to rolling on the floor, that would naturally be ideal. Without a fight, he would be able to easily capture Qi Tian.

As the gale approached, Qi Tian instantly sensed something was amiss. The power contained in the wind was too overpowering for him to withstand alone.

Qi Tian hastily instructed, and the Lustrous Sand ceased spewing the dense fog. This fog was not ordinary; it could be recycled and used over and over, but it depleted with each use. If Zhao Deyi managed to fan it all away, it would become impossible for the Lustrous Sand to create more in the future.

The wind was extremely fast, closing in within the blink of an eye. Upon contact with the fierce gale, the dense fog surrounding Qi Tian immediately dispersed, blowing away without resistance.

Qi Tian, standing within the fog, was also ravaged by the gale. Though he rooted his feet to the spot and his hands clutched the Yonghe Stick, which he had driven into the ground, he stood immovable like a nail, regardless of the raging wind. Of course, that was just the outward appearance for others to see. Qi Tian was able to remain unmoved not only due to his own efforts but also thanks to the function of the Transporting Whirlwinds, which stood in front of him and absorbed the majority of the gale, treating it as a foreign energy and channeling it to the Heavenly Dao Engine’s storage chamber for conversion.
