Chapter 1354 - 1354 0771 The Immortal Director Mu_2

Chapter 1354: Chapter 0771: The Immortal Director Mu_2 Chapter 1354: Chapter 0771: The Immortal Director Mu_2 The tone of the tomb owner sounded quite normal; by hearing his voice alone, one might think he was sincerely uttering these words, but Qi Tian did not believe a single punctuation mark of his speech. There was deep animosity and great resentment between him and the tomb owner. Now, the tomb owner was at least a fusion of three entities; one was the tomb owner himself, another was Manager Chen, and the third was a living corpse. Without exception, all three had their plans spoiled by Qi Tian.

The entire Saint’s Tomb had been overrun by Qi Tian, and it was under his assault that the tomb owner was forced to merge with the living corpse. How could he not harbor hatred towards Qi Tian?

Manager Chen was the highest representative sent by Wanjie Commerce to the Imperial Family Secret Territory. His future was promising and bright. Shortly after encountering Qi Tian, Manager Chen obtained the opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul Master. However, due to Qi Tian, this chance was ruined, and Manager Chen, too, was forced to merge with the living corpse. His hatred for Qi Tian was perhaps so deep that even all the rivers and lakes combined could not wash it away.

The situation of the living corpse was very similar; his Saint’s Tomb was wiped out by Qi Tian as well. After merging with Manager Chen, he was beaten by Qi Tian without the strength to fight back. His body was swept away by the Heavenly Dao Engine to be used as fuel, his heart absorbed by a black heart as nourishment, and in the end, only his head remained, suppressed in the storage room of the Heavenly Dao Engine, unable to move. Having been humiliated by Qi Tian to such an extent, how could he be willing to give up?

Now that these three had merged, they spoke through the mouth of the tomb owner, expressing the desire to reconcile with Qi Tian and no longer hold onto past grudges. Just how gullible did they think Qi Tian was to take their words seriously?

However, since the tomb owner had already put forth his conditions, it was unquestionable that Qi Tian had to respond in some way. Although the tomb owner could not see him, Qi Tian could clearly see every move of the tomb owner. The tomb owner was restoring his magical power by self-mutilation, devouring his own fingers, and Qi Tian saw the entire process crystal clear. With restored magical power, the tomb owner would be capable of posing a threat to him, and Qi Tian was considering how to deplete the tomb owner’s hardly recovered magical power again. In short, he absolutely could not allow the tomb owner to escape.

Qi Tian did not dare to underestimate the tomb owner. Since the tomb owner dared to devour his own finger, he might be cruel enough to swallow his entire arm if pushed, since a living corpse, as long as it draws breath, can possibly find a way to keep living. If he swallowed his arm, his magical power might be restored to its peak, potentially allowing him to kill Qi Tian. This possibility was something Qi Tian could not afford to ignore.

Of course, it was impossible for Qi Tian to rashly speak out. A master like the tomb owner would surely be highly skilled in discerning sounds and directions. If Qi Tian dared to make the slightest noise, he might reveal his location. Once the tomb owner knew his position, he could strike instantly, killing Qi Tian on the spot.

All of these were matters that required Qi Tian’s careful attention; the slightest oversight could result in him falling into the tomb owner’s hands.

Qi Tian immediately issued an order to the Liuli Sand to create noises, imitating human voices to confuse the tomb owner.

After receiving Qi Tian’s command, the Liuli Sand acted without delay, summoning several grains of yellow sand and instructing them to vibrate in a special manner per Qi Tian’s instructions to simulate human voices.

Just as Qi Tian expected, as soon as the grains of yellow sand mimicked human voices, the tomb owner immediately swung his flying sword towards the void, slashing through the air. In an instant, several beams of sword light flew out from the flying sword, completing an extreme leap in midair, and struck precisely on the grains of yellow sand, each about the size of a grain of rice. Despite their size, the sword light accurately severed each grain in half.

When the sword light slashed through the yellow sand and gravel, the tomb’s master knew he had been duped by Qi Tian. Without a word, he swung his flying sword and chopped off another of his fingers, tossing it into his mouth. He began to use the Essence Blood on the finger to restore his own magic power.

Qi Tian broke out in a cold sweat. While he was secretly relieved that he had not been tempted by the conditions the tomb’s master had proposed, he also soberly realized that he absolutely could not afford to give the tomb’s master any more time. The longer the delay, the more advantageous it was for the tomb’s master.

Qi Tian immediately ordered the Transporting Whirlwind to once again sweep up stones and hurl them at the tomb’s master. Just now, the tomb’s master had slashed all the stones in two with a single strike of his sword — an indisputable display of power. However, this all hinged on his possession of magical power. The few strikes he had made at the yellow sand and gravel had already exhausted the magic power he had managed to recover. And now, having just swallowed his second finger, his magic power would not return so quickly.

Using the last bit of magic power he had left, the tomb’s master dodged left and right, hoping to avoid the incoming stones. It had to be said that his level of cultivation was extremely profound. Even though his level had been lowered a bit after merging back with the undead and Manager Chen, it was still far beyond Qi Tian’s imagination. Relying on this tiny bit of remaining magic power, the tomb’s master managed to avoid every single stone hurled at him by the Transporting Whirlwind.

Before long, the second finger he had swallowed began to take effect. His qi and blood transformed swiftly into magic power. Once again, a trace of magic power flowed through the empty meridians of the tomb’s master. Without any hesitation, he mobilized this newly generated power, waving his flying sword and chopping at the approaching stones. Just as before, all the stones were split in two, without exception. This was the strength of the tomb’s master.

This time, Qi Tian did not dare give the tomb’s master any chance to pause. He gave a deadly order, demanding that the Liuli Sand and Ghost Face, regardless of any casualties, launch a relentless assault with the Transporting Whirlwind on the tomb’s master. They absolutely could not afford to give the tomb’s master a chance to catch his breath, especially not allowing him to swallow another finger.

Upon receiving Qi Tian’s command, Liuli Sand, Ghost Face, and the Transporting Whirlwind surged forward, mounting an all-out attack on the tomb’s master. Realizing he was about to face significant trouble, the tomb’s master made a move that Qi Tian had not anticipated at all. His mouth moved a few times, and he actually bit off his own tongue, chewed it, and swallowed it down. At the same time, his hand kept swinging the flying sword, posing a substantial threat to Liuli Sand and Ghost Face, preventing them from getting close.

Qi Tian felt he was on the verge of insanity. He truly could not comprehend some of the methods employed by the undead – they were ready to resort to any means, imaginable or not, to survive, without any reservations. Dealing with such people was full of surprises and placed immense pressure on Qi Tian.

If the tomb’s master could bite off his tongue and swallow it, what would stop him from biting off his lips next, or his nose, consuming his body bit by bit in order to restore his magic power and continue the fight?

Such a tomb’s master was terrifying. Qi Tian absolutely could not dare give him even the slightest chance. Once again, he issued a stern death order, demanding that Liuli Sand and Ghost Face, at all costs and regardless of casualties, capture the tomb’s master.

Beyond that, Qi Tian also summoned the black heart skilled in psychic attacks from the storage chamber of the Heavenly Dao Engine, joining the siege against the tomb’s master.
