Chapter 403: Chapter 0292: Take Everything in One Fell Swoop_2 Chapter 403: Chapter 0292: Take Everything in One Fell Swoop_2 The three of them had never encountered such a situation before and were immediately thrown into a state of panic. However, this wasn’t Qi Tian’s first time experiencing this. Although his magic was sealed, his physical strength remained intact, and he had enough mental preparation. He promptly pulled out his Red Hoop Stick and swung it towards the heads of the three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.

Before the three could react, their heads were smashed by Qi Tian.

Killing three people without a pause, Qi Tian’s Red Hoop Stick scooped up the mud from the ground. With a flick, the mud soared towards Half-step Golden Core old man Feng.

After taking the elixir, Feng kept his eyes closed, mobilizing the True Essence within his body to speed up the digestion and absorption. He never thought that Qi Tian would suddenly go berserk and kill three of his companions. By the time he noticed something was off and opened his eyes, he saw an object flying towards him.

Faced with the unknown flying object, some might subconsciously dodge it, but others would instinctively try to catch it. Feng was the latter. Of course, there was another important reason that prompted him to do this. The mud was not simply mud but a powerful Innate Spiritual Treasure. Probably sensing something unusual about it, Feng, at this moment, was driven by greed and wanted to claim it as his own.

What Feng had forgotten was that claiming a treasure with an owner was not such an easy task. If he were at the Nascent Soul Stage, he might reduce the adverse effect to the lowest level. But he was just a Half-step Golden Core, and he caught the mud barehanded. Immediately, he felt the strong influence of the mud, and all his magic was sealed, unable to be invoked.

At this moment, Qi Tian activated the Heavenly Dao Engine and killed in the fastest speed.

The miserable Feng only regarded Qi Tian as a regular Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, totally oblivious to Qi Tian’s powerful presence. He was unaware that his magic was sealed and thought that after taking the elixir, he had mostly recovered his magic. So, he reached out to grab the Red Hoop Stick.

With a bang, the Red Hoop Stick hit Feng’s outstretched palm hard. With a crack, Feng’s palm and arm were shattered by the Red Hoop Stick.

Feng cried out in pain. Only at this moment did he realize that something was amiss. But it was too late. Qi Tian had already swung the second stroke at him.

No room to dodge or hide, the Red Hoop Stick struck his neck, breaking it. Feng was killed instantly.

With Feng’s death, the only cultivator that could threaten Qi Tian was dead. Qi Tian let out a sigh of relief. Then, holding the Red Hoop Stick, he unleashed the Eighteen Demonic Strokes and attacked the remaining Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.

Almost all of these Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators were Qi Tian’s enemies. No matter if they were captured by the Ape King Sun Xiaotian like him, once he encountered one, he would kill them without mercy.

Soon, all these cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage were killed by Qi Tian. They weren’t without a sense of danger; when they saw that things were going south, they tried to flee. However, let’s not forget that Qi Tian had the Heavenly Dao Engine which could boost his speed. Sometimes, Qi Tian would even throw out his muck, so with the combination of these measures, these people’s paths of life were thoroughly cut off, and not a single one of them managed to escape.

The palm of Qi Tian’s hand flickered with black holes as the Transporting Whirlwind flew out, sweeping away the corpses of all the cultivators he had killed and tossing them into the Heavenly Dao Engine’s storage chamber. Afterwards, without wasting a single second, Qi Tian charged towards the few houses in the quarry.

The palace’s retainers had set up some arrangements here, a few of which were quite clever, but these defensive measures required someone to control. Ironically, at this moment, these palace retainers were either off chasing the Ape King Sun Xiaotian or had been killed by Qi Tian. They could never have expected that strong palace retainers would encounter such a total annihilation. Had they known, they would have left one or two people to guard the houses, and this situation could have been avoided.

Qi Tian knew that time was of the essence. The two cultivators at the Half-step Golden Core stage, who were in the process of jointly pursuing and killing the Ape King Sun Xiaotian, could return at any time. Moreover, it was not certain that no members of other forces were watching the situation here. Once they informed their companions and came together, even though Qi Tian had strength comparable to the Half-step Golden Core, he would still be at a disadvantage. He was, after all, alone, and two fists couldn’t prevail against four hands. Furthermore, the warning of the Ape King Sun Xiaotian was an immediate concern.

Qi Tian did not search through the houses but released the Transporting Whirlwind, sweeping across all items within sight. At the same time, he activated the Heavenly Dao Engine to detect anything that might be imbued with Spirit Qi and could have been overlooked. However, Qi Tian was disappointed as the Heavenly Dao Engine did not find any of the particular stones that interested it. It was as if those stones had never been there.

Like a swarm of locusts passing through an area, Qi Tian, in a short amount of time, emptied all the valuable items in the houses. Then, without a moment’s delay, he rushed out of the house and ran towards the nearest woodland at full speed.

“It’s him, we must not let him escape.” As Qi Tian was about to rush into the woods, someone came rushing from the other side of the hill and pointed at Qi Tian, shouting.

These cultivators that burst out hastily spurred their flying swords and other flying magical tools, charging towards Qi Tian with an overwhelming momentum, intent on engulfing him.

However, Qi Tian had activated the Heavenly Dao Engine, elevating his speed to the extreme, something that these cultivators could hardly reach. Before they could catch up, they saw Qi Tian dart into the woods and disappear. When they reached the forest, Qi Tian had already vanished.

Qi Tian’s move this time was swift, precise, and ruthless, abolishing dozens of people and taking over the palace’s base in the quarry. The incident shocked the entire Yi Lian Mountain. All the major forces were extremely angry. They made a copy of Qi Tian’s image and posted it everywhere so that all cultivators in Yi Lian Mountain would know to kill him on sight if they ever came across him.

Furthermore, the major forces realized that their setup in Yi Lian Mountain was too weak. A few forces decided to withdraw their people stationed here due to their limited strength. However, most forces brought in even more people instead of withdrawing. They believed that the fierce battle in Yi Lian Mountain was due to significant benefits within the mountain. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have attracted dangerous individuals like Qi Tian and Ape King Sun Xiaotian.

These matters didn’t concern Qi Tian much. After gaining the upper hand, he planned to leave Yi Lian Mountain. He resigned himself to the fact that the special stones might no longer exist in the mountain, and staying there would not yield him anything else.

However, Qi Tian soon discovered that it was easy to get in but hard to get out. The guards at Yi Lian Mountain’s exterior had been tightened. Almost all the major forces that had set foot in Yi Lian Mountain had deployed their people to patrol the sky and various paths. There were too many of them spread out in such a wide area. Even if Qi Tian could kill a portion of them using certain methods, he still could not handle the majority. If he ended up attracting everyone’s attention, he might be able to leave Yi Lian Mountain, but it would be difficult to escape from Chi Di. Once all the cultivators in Chi Di set out, they would likely block him before he could leave Chi Di. At that point, even with wings, he would not be able to fly away.
