For some people, killing is addictive, especially now that they held a distinct advantage, clearly able to kill their opponents easily without bearing any responsibility. Their inner demons were evoked, and without any communication among themselves, they reached an unspoken agreement.

“Fellow cultivators, let’s split into two groups, one to deal with Li Zizhuo, and the other to handle the unfamiliar guy. Everyone should be careful when striking, we wouldn’t want to kill them by accident—that would take the fun out of it. Also, watch out for them crushing their Teleportation Talismans to escape. I’ve done some research on these talismans; they’re not omnipotent. I’ve created a jade talisman that counters it, which forms a ten-mile Teleportation Prohibition zone when crushed. Those who need it can come to me to get one.”

Upon hearing this, the other Nascent Soul Masters chuckled and came over, each taking a Teleportation Prohibition Talisman. Then they quickly divided themselves into groups, three heading towards Qi Tian and the other four rushing towards Li Zizhuo.

The three Nascent Soul Masters, one tall, one short, and one rather thin, coordinated with each other and had already formed a good understanding. As they rushed towards Qi Tian, they dispersed, charging in different directions. Their actions were extremely swift, fearing that any delay would allow the already alerted Qi Tian to escape, thus foiling their desire to torture him.

For Nascent Soul Masters, when unimpeded, their speed is generally quite fast. Although they were still dozens of miles away from Qi Tian, at their full speed, this distance was merely a matter of a minute or two.

In an instant, the thin Nascent Soul Master took the lead, sensing Qi Tian before his two companions arrived. A cold smile appeared on his lips as he hastened his pace, quickly closing the distance between them.

Qi Tian seemed oblivious to the Nascent Soul Master charging towards him, standing dumbly on the ground without any reaction.

This scene made the thin Nascent Soul Master feel something was amiss, but he couldn’t figure out what exactly. However, it didn’t matter that he couldn’t remember. Although he had arrived a bit earlier, his two companions were not far behind. All he needed to do was crush the Teleportation Prohibition Talisman before them, preventing Qi Tian from teleporting away. Then he could beat Qi Tian up nicely, bolstering his chances of giving him a severe thrashing. Before encountering Qi Tian, he hadn’t properly fought with any Nascent Soul Masters from Wanjie City; each time he and his companion showed up, they had scared their opponents away, fostering a pent-up frustration in him. Now, he finally had a chance to vent.

The thin Nascent Soul Master flew rapidly, and within just a dozen seconds, he had closed in to only two or three miles from Qi Tian. This distance was quite lethal for a Nascent Soul Master. Worried that Qi Tian might panic and crush the Teleportation Talisman to escape, he didn’t hesitate any longer and crushed the Teleportation Prohibition Talisman. Suddenly, a hazy radiance flew out from his palm, swiftly spreading and enveloping everything, including Qi Tian, within its light, thus establishing the prohibited teleportation zone.

Qi Tian raised an eyebrow. He glanced at the anxious Nascent Soul Master rushing towards him. Although he didn’t know what the latter had just crushed, Qi Tian knew this person was not well-intentioned and was a competitor in the battle for the secret domain’s ownership with Wanjie City. Since he was an opponent, there was no need for pleasantries.

He gave a faint smile towards the other, flipped his wrist, and a large rock appeared in his hand. As the other charged at him, Qi Tian leaped into the air, his speed instantly soaring to the extreme. He swung the large rock, smashing it hard at the other.

A scornful light flashed in the thin Nascent Soul Master’s eyes. He now realized that Qi Tian was merely a cultivator from the Gold Core Realm. For such cultivators to compete here was simply out of their league—it was like serving themselves on a platter. This made him somewhat regretful. Had he known how weak Qi Tian was, he would have joined the group attacking Li Zizhuo instead, as that opponent would have made for a more interesting fight.

Though he was filled with disdain, since the battle had begun, he might as well take this opportunity to teach Qi Tian a lesson. He had to be careful not to overdo it, as accidentally killing Qi Tian would certainly cause his companions to blame him when they arrived.

The thin Nascent Soul Master was about to reveal his magical weapon when he shockingly discovered that his arm, which he intended to use to slap his Storage Bag hanging at his waist, couldn’t complete such a simple action. It was as if it were bound by some invisible force, requiring great effort to move even slightly. Reaching for his Storage Bag was utterly impossible.

What was going on?

Just as this thought flashed through the Nascent Soul Master’s mind, he saw a black object flying towards his face. Before he could react further, Qi Tian, holding the large rock, slammed it hard against his face.

The Nascent Soul Master instantly saw darkness and lost consciousness, lying sprawled on the ground.

Looking at him, Qi Tian shook his head. This was the second Nascent Soul Master he had knocked out with a rock in a short period. He had knocked out another one before this; at least that one had managed a few moves before being knocked out, but this one hadn’t even lasted one move, leaving him without any sense of achievement.

With a wave of his hand, Qi Tian snatched the Storage Bag that hung from the unconscious Nascent Soul Master’s waist. Then, the waiting Liuli Sand released some black smoke, covering the Nascent Soul Master.

The mountaintop where Qi Tian was located was shrouded in dark, hazy greyness. The dense fog released by the Liuli Sand blended perfectly with the mountain’s backdrop, and moreover, the fog had the effect of blocking the detection of Divine Sense. The first Nascent Soul Master Qi Tian had knocked out was perfectly hidden using this technique.
