Chapter 200 - 200 0191 Cutting off Other Peoples Chances

Chapter 200: Chapter 0191: Cutting off Other People’s Chances Chapter 200: Chapter 0191: Cutting off Other People’s Chances Qi Tian has never been the type to surrender without a fight. Seeing He Xiaojian attack him first, he didn’t back down. He clenched his fist and launched a counterattack against He Xiaojian’s charging hand.

Bang…

When their fist met palm, He Xiaojian remained unmoved, while Qi Tian couldn’t withstand it and was forced to take three steps back. It was quite normal for Qi Tian, who hadn’t activated his Heavenly Dao Engine and was relying purely on his physical strength, to be unable to compete with He Xiaojian, who was at the half-step Foundation Establishment Stage. However, the fact that he only had to move back three steps set a new record in the Imperial Master Mansion.

A ruthless glint flashed in He Xiaojian’s eyes as he said, “Interesting, and you have good potential. But I’m sorry, you can’t stay here. Die.”

He Xiaojian was after all, an elite disciple of the Golden Roc Hall, and was one of the key trainees in the Imperial Master Mansion. With his insightful and discerning eyes, he recognized Qi Tian’s potential. If Qi Tian was only slightly weaker than him now, what would happen when Qi Tian grew to the half-step Foundation Establishment Stage? Wouldn’t he be able to crush him easily? Since the moment he forcibly demanded the Purple Fire Fruit and Sha Mu Thorn, they had become sworn enemies. As his enemy, it would be better to nip Qi Tian in the bud. As for whether killing Qi Tian would violate the mansion rules or invite punishment, it didn’t cross his mind. If Qi Tian truly had a Great Master’s power, why would he still be wearing the attire of a Sky Eagle Hall disciple? A person with no background and inadequate strength, his death wouldn’t make anyone stand up for him.

While contemplating, He Xiaojian launched his attack on Qi Tian with his full force, trying to kill Qi Tian with one blow. This way, he could kill Qi Tian and secure the Purple Fire Fruit and the Sha Mu Thorn before the other Golden Roc Hall disciples arrived.

Qi Tian maintained a calm demeanor. The reason he didn’t use his Heavenly Dao Engine wasn’t because of arrogance or showing off, but simply to gauge the gap between him and the Golden Roc Hall disciples. The result disappointed him. He Xiaojian’s strength wasn’t much superior to Chu Yang’s. His only advantage was that he was a bit younger than Chu Yang. If He Xiaojian and Gao Han were compared, He Xiaojian would be inferior in both age and combat ability.

Qi Tian silently shook his head, but his hands moved swiftly, activating the Heavenly Dao Engine and throwing out a punch with the newly mastered move – the Twelfth Move: Harsh Rule Fierce Tiger of the Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist.

Even though Qi Tian was not wearing the Jifeng Boxing Glove, even though he didn’t fuse his physical strength, even though he didn’t use the effect of the Fire Fist, even though the power of the Heavenly Dao Engine was greatly reduced and wasn’t even at twice its usual output, when his fist again met He Xiaojian’s palm, it still produced an astounding result.

Bang…

Like a muffled thunderclap, He Xiaojian let out a scream and was hurled backward, landing heavily on the ground and remaining motionless, like a dead dog.

Chu Yang was startled, quickly asking, “Qi Tian, you didn’t just kill He Xiaojian with a single punch, did you?”

Qi Tian glanced at the feigned-dead He Xiaojian and said, “Such garbage isn’t worth my killing intent.” Qi Tian wasn’t unaware of the principle of cutting the roots when cutting grass, but here was the entrance of the Golden Roc Hall. If he killed someone in front of passing disciples of the Golden Roc Hall, it would definitely stir up a hornet’s nest. It wasn’t worth it for a piece of trash like He Xiaojian.

“If you didn’t kill him, that’s good. Qi Tian, be assured, I will testify for you. However, my singular testimony may not be enough. Should I call for more people to come? So if anything happens, there will be more helpers.” Chu Yang suggested.

Qi Tian nodded after a short consideration. He Xiaojian’s appearance made him realize that he had overly simplified the situation. He Xiaojian’s survival till now indicated that the Golden Roc Hall fostered people like him. In this place, simple adherence to the rules was useless, “My senior brother Chu Yang, if it’s possible, please inform the hall master about what happened here.”

Chu Yang quickly took out a transmission talisman paper and sent out a message. The Sky Eagle Hall was not far from the Golden Roc Hall, and soon Luo Xia, who received the message, arrived with several people. Seeing Qi Tian safe and sound, Luo Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

“Qi Tian, you were reckless. If you need resources for cultivation, you can tell me. I can still figure out ways to gather some for you.” Luo Xia solemnly said.

“I appreciate your good intentions, Hall Master, but I prefer to solve this problem by myself. I’m sorry for troubling you.” Qi Tian sincerely responded.

“No worries. Qi Tian, I still have things to deal with and can’t stay here with you. I’ll leave two first-class deputies from our Sky Eagle Hall to maintain order in this place. Liu Wei and Yuan Jingxian, you two stay here and ensure Qi Tian’s safety. If anything happens that you can’t handle, inform me.”

The two Foundation Establishment Stage deputy attendants Luo Xia brought along hastily agreed. Although they were elderly, they were seasoned Foundation Establishment Level one cultivators. Even in the Golden Roc Hall, they had a significant say. With them around, many unnecessary problems could be avoided for Qi Tian. As for those who could pose a real threat to Qi Tian, they generally wouldn’t need herbs like the Purple Fire Fruit and the Sha Mu Thorn, so there was no special need to worry.
