Qi Tian thought back to a few days ago when they encountered the Ink-eyed Tiger Ladybug and Zhang Lei and the others were all taken down by the Three Days Drunk by the cultivators of Zhongshan Kingdom. Qi Tian had saved them and killed all the Zhongshan cultivators, seizing their Storage Bags.

Qi Tian had sorted through those Storage Bags and even asked Zhang Lei to confirm that there was Three Days Drunk inside. Today, wouldn’t it be the perfect occasion to use the Three Days Drunk?

Qi Tian spoke in a low voice, “We wait for Jiang Pan to send the signal, then we go in. In a while, I will use the Three Days Drunk to deal with the one in the middling stages of Foundation Establishment.”

Before Qi Tian’s words fell, a muffled sound emanated from the courtyard. It seemed like the sound of a heavy object falling, accompanied by a stifled grunt, which sounded like it came from Jiang Pan. Qi Tian inwardly exclaimed, “Something happened to Jiang Pan, let’s go in quickly.”

Zhang Lei and the others heard the commotion in the yard clearly and knew something had gone wrong. They didn’t hesitate and wanted to jump over the wall to get into the yard. However, Pan Yulin said, “We can’t climb over the wall. Jiang Pan got into trouble that way. We should go in through the main gate.”

Qi Tian nodded, “Pan has a point, we’ll go in through the main gate.”

“Let me break the door.” Zhang Guangyao volunteered to stand in front of the main gate. He pulled out a Spirit Saber, and the runes on the blade were fully activated. Like a streak of stars cutting through the night sky, he slashed at the gate.

Zhang Guangyao held nothing back with this blow. In his view, even if it didn’t smash the gate to bits, it should at least make a hole. However, to his surprise, nothing happened to the gate, not even a single shake. It felt as if his saber had hacked into an incredibly rugged stone, leaving not a trace.

Such a sturdy gate surprised everyone, even Qi Tian. The Heavenly Dao Engine showed no reaction to this gate when he circled around the yard earlier. This suggested that there was no Spiritual Qi or inscriptions on it. Even seeing it with his own eyes, Qi Tian found it hard to believe that there was a gate that could withstand Zhang Guangyao’s full-strength attack.

There must be something strange about this gate. But now was not the time to figure out what the strangeness was. While his power was greater than Zhang Guangyao’s, he didn’t have much confidence that he could break through the gate in a short amount of time. However, Qi Tian had another method. He stood at the edge of the wall, took a deep breath, and punched outward.

With a bang, bricks and rocks scattered around. Qi Tian knocked a chunk of the wall out, leaving a big gap.

Qi Tian was the first to dash in through the gap in the wall, followed closely by Zhang Lei, Zhang Guangyao, and Pan Yulin. When Qi Tian rushed into the courtyard, he saw Jiang Pan lying on the ground, unconscious. A cultivator was wielding a sword, aimed at Jiang Pan’s throat, ready to strike. But at that moment, the cultivator turned in surprise to look at Qi Tian who had suddenly rushed in.

“You audacious rogue, let go of Jiang Pan,” Zhang Lei said angrily.

A sinister smile spread across the cultivator’s face. He swung the Spirit Sword in his hand at Zhang Lei, and a brilliant sword light flew out, slashing directly at her.

Zhang Lei quickly swung her sword to block, but when her Spirit Sword clashed with the sword light, she lost control and backed away. Blood welled up in her throat and she spat it out. She had been defeated with just one move.

Pan Yulin and Zhang Guangyao rushed out from behind Qi Tian and pounced on the cultivator from both sides. However, they flew back even faster than they had lunged, with the cultivator barely lifting his leg and quickly kicking both of them away.

Immediately, Zhang Lei, Pan Yulin, and Zhang Guangyao stared at the cultivator in utter shock. This person was incredibly powerful. Based on their experience, he was definitely not a fourth layer Foundation Establishment cultivator but likely in the fifth layer.

Thinking back to their previous debate about whether this person could be at the fifth or sixth layer of Foundation Establishment, Qi Tian insisted that he was at the fourth layer. Now, it was clear that this person was definitely not at the fourth layer but rather a solid fifth layer. They were already strained to deal with a fourth layer, but now they were faced with a fifth layer. They felt as though they had kicked an iron plate. This wasn’t about biting off more than they could chew anymore, but facing total annihilation without a chance of survival.

Even though Zhang Lei and the others felt somewhat desperate, they weren’t about to surrender. Resolved expressions crossed their faces as they decided to fight to the end.

Compared with Zhang Lei and the others, Qi Tian seemed much more relaxed. He had just seen that this was the Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator who had pretended to be in the Qi Cultivation stage. The Heavenly Dao Engine’s response to him was the same as during the day, with no changes. This indicated that he was really at the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment, not the fifth. In Qi Tian’s judgement, this person was different from the usual Foundation Establishment cultivators. During Qi Cultivation, his foundation was probably more solid than Zhang Lei’s and the others.

Qi Tian clasped his hands towards the cultivator, “What an honor it is to meet again.”
