Chapter 275: Chapter 0228: Like an Egg Hitting a Stone_2 Chapter 275: Chapter 0228: Like an Egg Hitting a Stone_2 The cultivator from Zhongshan Kingdom walked over and untied the pouch at his waist, setting free Hu Niu. Hu Niu laid on the ground, unmoving, like a dead cat.

The same cultivator from Zhongshan Kingdom strode over to another, and after exchanging a few words, the latter suddenly slapped the former. He then gestured towards the meandering footpath and roared, and two cultivators immediately charged towards the footpath.

Qi Tian felt a sense of dread, knowing if he did not act now, the opportunity to rescue Hu Niu and Pan Yulin would be lost. He could not afford to wait any longer or continue watching to gather more favourable information.

Qi Tian activated the Galloping Skill on his Wuhang Ring in a heartbeat, and charged towards the group of cultivators like the wind.

Soon, someone noticed him. The cultivator who was smacking people shouted curses, and the two who had been on the move charged towards Qi Tian.

Qi Tian noticed that all the cultivators in Zhongshan Kingdom attire shared one thing in common – their high speed. If Qi Tian did not possess the Galloping Skill inscribed on the Wuhang Ring, he would have likely perished today and wasted his endeavour.

Using the incredible speed of the Galloping Skill, reaching up to fifty meters per second, Qi Tian managed to dart past the two cultivators before they blocked his path. He broke through their defence and charged towards the cultivator who had been striking others.

A cruel smirk appeared on the face of the striking cultivator. He pulled out a spear from his waist and jabbed it towards Qi Tian.

Qi Tian felt the shadow of death loom over him, and goosebumps erupted over his skin. With a flick of his hand, he threw the Explosive Thunder Talisman he had prepared in advance.

This talisman contained the equivalent of twenty to thirty spiritual stones worth of energy. The moment the talisman was activated, the contained energy erupted.

With a crack, the Explosive Thunder Talisman transformed into a series of rampant lightning bolts, weaving a thunder electrified net that spanned several meters, rampantly assaulting the area it enveloped.

The formidable power of the Explosive Thunder Talisman was undeniable, and Qi Tian threw it with exceptionally good timing. Almost instantly, the striking cultivator from Zhongshan Kingdom suffered a significant loss, with the surrounding cultivators sharing his fate. Pan Yulin, Jiang Pan, and Zhang Guangyao who were tossed onto the ground were also within the range of the lightning net, but since they lay low on the ground, they weren’t the primary targets of the Explosive Thunder Talisman.

The lightning came and went quickly, lasting no more than five seconds. But for talismans like the Explosive Thunder Talisman, the longer the attack duration, the more powerful it becomes. Apart from the two cultivators who blocked Qi Tian, the rest suffered quite a blow.

Qi Tian patted his waist and instantly retrieved the Red Hoop Stick, he then wielded this spirit treasure and charged towards the cultivators who had been affected by the lightning.

The slapping cultivator was furious. The majority of the Explosive Thunder Talisman’s attack was directed at him. The brief encounter was potent enough to wound him significantly. Despite being injured, he felt that Qi Tian, who was newly at the Foundation Establishment Stage, was not to be taken lightly, he bellowed and thrust his spear again towards Qi Tian.

This time, he intended to strike with malice. No longer intending to go easy, he was determined to take Qi Tian down.

Qi Tian did not recoil. Wielding the Red Hoop Stick, he engaged in a fierce battle with the slapping cultivator.

The Red Hoop Stick and the Long Spear were both long weapons, and their grades were comparable — both were Spirit Treasures. They clashed many times, but neither could best the other.

The assaulting cultivator was so furious that he was screaming. had he not been injured, he could have dealt with Qi Tian effortlessly, but now he had sustained injuries and his strength had significantly weakened. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such a hard time dealing with Qi Tian. He roared, ordering the other cultivators from Zhongshan Kingdom not to interfere, as he intended to take down Qi Tian personally.

Once the assaulting cultivator gave his orders, the other cultivators from Zhongshan Kingdom didn’t dare to disobey. They could only stand on the sidelines without lending help.

Qi Tian knew that opportunities were rare. If the other cultivators came to their senses and joined forces with the assaulting cultivator, they would definitely defeat him, leaving him no chance.

With this realization, Qi Tian wouldn’t dare hold back. He whispered an incantation in his heart to activate the Heavenly Dao Engine. Then, his strength and speed escalated to an entirely new level within a very short period.

His greatest reliance was the Heavenly Dao Engine, which at this moment gave Qi Tian unprecedented confidence. He brandished the Red Hoop Stick and performed the Eighteen Demonic Strokes with growing vigor. Surprisingly, he began to suppress the assaulting cultivator. Despite the cultivator’s deep foundation and considerable power loss during the previous fight with Qi Tian, it would not be easy to defeat him quickly.

Qi Tian knew that he would lose if the fight continued in this manner. He must take down this high-ranking cultivator in a short period, even if it meant killing him.

Qi Tian increased the output power of The Heavenly Dao Engine to triple its original level. This immediately increased the speed of his True Essence consumption. He wouldn’t last much longer under such high-intensity combat.

A murderous look flashed in Qi Tian’s eyes, and then he swung the Red Hoop Stick down on the assaulting cultivator.

The assaulting cultivator raised his Long Spear to block it, but he had no idea that in that instant, the strength Qi Tian exerted had suddenly increased by tens of thousands of pounds. This excessive increase in power was far beyond the cultivator’s anticipation.

When the Red Hoop Stick collided with the Long Spear, the assaulting cultivator realized he was in trouble. But it was too late. There was a crack, and the arms holding the Long Spear were broken. The Long Spear lost its support and quickly fell, followed by the Red Hoop Stick that struck heavily on the man’s head.

While cultivators were more resilient than ordinary people, there was a limit to it. The force of tens of thousands of pounds from the Red Hoop Stick was unbearable, even if one had a steel skull. Moreover, the assaulting cultivator was a mortal with a flesh body. His skull was instantly smashed into pieces, killing him on the spot.

Without any hesitation, Qi Tian, after killing the strongest cultivator from Zhongshan Kingdom, pounced on the other cultivators.

Seeing that Qi Tian had killed their boss, the remaining cultivators from Zhongshan Kingdom showed expressions of grief, rage, and fear. They charged at Qi Tian while screaming madly, appearing more hysterical than if their parents had been killed.

Most people would have turned and fled in such a situation, but Qi Tian was not afraid at all. He had already killed several cultivators of Foundation Establishment initial stage, and there was no psychological burden on him.

With the Heavenly Dao Engine still activated, Qi Tian’s strength and speed were unmatched. The Zhongshan Kingdom cultivators had no remarkable abilities, so in the face of Qi Tian, who was employing the Heavenly Dao Engine, they were like eggs crashing against a rock. It didn’t take long before all of them fell under Qi Tian’s stick.

Looking at the dead bodies on the ground, Qi Tian let out a sigh of relief. He quickly checked on Hu Niu, Jiang Pan, Pan Yulin, and Zhang Guangyao, and was relieved once again when he found that they were okay.
