Just as Huo Yunbiao opened his mouth to bite at Li Qingping, Li Qingping had just completed the last motion of the Spirit Rune. A beam of golden light suddenly shot out from his eyes, he flicked his wrist, and released the Spirit Rune. A crisp dragon chant emanated from behind him, where his Destiny Flying Sword was hidden. At that moment, the Destiny Flying Sword, heeding Li Qingping’s summons, began to stir restlessly, ready to unsheath and eliminate Qi Tian, this thorn in his side.

However, what Li Qingping had never expected occurred. Normally, upon his summons, his Destiny Flying Sword would strike immediately, the whole process smooth and uninterrupted. But this time, an accident occurred. It was as if his Destiny Flying Sword had encountered some obstacle, and was restrained behind his back. Though it stirred restlessly, it could never fly out. At that moment, his Destiny Flying Sword was like a trapped beast, struggling in vain to break free from its bonds, stuck in place with little room to maneuver, let alone fly out to attack the enemy.

No matter what, Li Qingping could not understand why this was happening. Was it a mistake in his execution of the Spirit Rune due to nervousness, resulting in an insufficient completion of the Spirit Rune, which led to the inability to wield his flying sword? However, this thought seemed utterly ridiculous. He had performed the Spirit Rune for his Destiny Flying Sword countless times, nearly ten thousand times, and had mastered it so thoroughly that he could perform it with his eyes closed. Moreover, it wasn’t that his Destiny Flying Sword couldn’t move; rather, its range of movement was severely limited, making it unable to strike down foes.

There was only one explanation: after he successfully wielded his Destiny Flying Sword, there was some presence that he couldn’t detect, helping Qi Tian to restrain his Destiny Flying Sword, rendering him unable to command it to fight for him.

This speculation was incredibly absurd. No matter what, Li Qingping was unwilling to believe that Qi Tian held control over such an entity. He would rather believe there had been a fault when he executed the Spirit Rune. In a split second, he intended to perform the Spirit Rune again, but by that time, it was already too late. Huo Yunbiao had already opened his gaping mouth and bitten down.

Just now, Li Qingping, relying on his protective shield, had focused all his spirit on wielding his Destiny Flying Sword, without preparing a backup plan. By the time he thought to react differently, it was already somewhat late.

Even though Li Qingping was a distinguished master at the peak of the Second Level of the Nascent Soul Stage, when facing Huo Yunbiao, who possessed the same level of cultivation and strength, all this could no longer be his reliance, nor offer him any help.

Li Qingping didn’t even manage to dodge Huo Yunbiao’s bite. His big head was directly swallowed into Huo Yunbiao’s mouth.

With one bite from Huo Yunbiao, his sharp teeth nearly pierced Li Qingping’s tender neck, about to sever his head. At that moment, Qi Tian timely issued a command to stop, preventing Huo Yunbiao from biting off Li Qingping’s head. Instead, Huo Yunbiao kept Li Qingping’s head in his mouth, leaving his neck caught between Huo Yunbiao’s rows of sharp teeth, bitten yet unbitten.

Li Qingping’s soul nearly flew out of his body. For over a hundred years, he hadn’t felt such danger that death was only a wall away. Despite his myriad of methods, because his head was still in Huo Yunbiao’s mouth, he was utterly unable to utilize them. He didn’t even dare to make any slight movement, fearing that his own struggles might lead him to accidentally knock his neck against Huo Yunbiao’s sharp teeth, potentially causing Huo Yunbiao to bite his head off—wouldn’t that be a wrongful death?

Qi Tian chuckled. He had never considered Li Qingping a serious threat. Since following Huo Yunbiao into this cave, he had been carefully strategizing. He had devised a complete plan just to witness this moment. He had not expected his plan to be executed so perfectly and to achieve the result he most desired: controlling the life of Li Qingping, a tyrant dominating his own realm. Now, with just a thought, he could decide Li Qingping’s life or death.

With victory in front of his eyes, Qi Tian did not get carried away. He had already used the Heavenly Dao Engine’s Spirit Qi sensing function to thoroughly investigate Li Qingping himself, clearly knowing what treasures Li Qingping possessed and where each was hidden. First, with a wave of his hand, the Destiny Flying Sword, which Li Qingping couldn’t even summon with his Spirit Rune for an attack, flew up from behind Li Qingping and landed in Qi Tian’s hand.

Though Li Qingping’s head was still in the jaws of Huo Yunbiao, the connection between him and his Destiny Flying Sword had not been severed. He could clearly sense how easily Qi Tian summoned his sword away. Desperately, he tried to use the connection between them to restrict the movement of the Destiny Flying Sword, to stop it from obeying Qi Tian’s commands and falling under his control. What made Li Qingping want to vomit blood was that although the Destiny Flying Sword received his orders and tried to execute them, it was to no avail.

The Destiny Flying Sword was like a captured criminal, whose unwillingness and struggles were utterly futile, only to be escorted helplessly by the constable onto the execution cart.

Following the Destiny Flying Sword, there were other treasures on Li Qingping’s body, not to mention the Storage Ring, which included items Li Qingping used for protection. Qi Tian did not hold back at all, stripping everything from Li Qingping’s body, leaving him nothing.

Feeling the treasures being taken one by one, Li Qingping wanted to cry but had no tears. He had never suffered such humiliation. He began to protest from within the jaws.

“Qi Tian…”

As soon as he opened his mouth, the foul smell from Huo Yunbiao’s breath rushed towards his face and nose, almost making him gag, especially when Huo Yunbiao breathed, some spit would come out. When Li Qingping opened his mouth to speak, these droplets would directly splash into his mouth, a taste so uniquely awful, no one knew better than Li Qingping himself.

Though Huo Yunbiao holding Li Qingping in his mouth seemed fierce, in reality, it was a burdensome task for Huo Yunbiao. Not to mention holding Li Qingping’s head in his mouth, such a pose was extremely uncomfortable for Huo Yunbiao. Just the itching sensation caused by Li Qingping’s hair and beard against the inner walls of Huo Yunbiao’s mouth made him want to clench his jaws shut several times. However, considering the consequences of such an action, Huo Yunbiao could only endure patiently.
