Presently, outside the flying sailboat, Demonic Birds outnumbered and outmatched the cultivators, every cultivator struggled to protect themselves. Either they fought unitedly against the enemy or each fought their own battle. At this time, if you could guarantee your survival, it was considered a win. There was no time to help others.

The cultivator could no longer hold out and thought he was doomed. He did not expect Qi Tian would come to his aid at this time. He quickly retreated to a side, taking a chance to catch his breath. “Thank you for your help, Sir. My name is Che Long’an. If I manage to survive this time, I promise to repay your help in the future.”

Qi Tian just smiled, not paying much attention to his words. He spurred the flying sword under his feet and rushed forward, blocking the way of the Demonic Bird that intended to kill Che Long’an. The Demonic Bird had a palm-sized horn on its forehead. Seeing that Qi Tian dared to block its way, it shrieked and the horn on its forehead gathered strands of lightning. In an instant, it struck towards Qi Tian.

Qi Tian gave a cold laugh and reached out to grab the incoming lightning, making it disappear. To outsiders, it looked like Qi Tian extinguished the lightning, but in reality, he actually used it as fuel for the Heavenly Dao Engine.

The Demonic Bird was a little intelligent. When it saw its strongest attack being destroyed so easily by Qi Tian, it was dreadfully terrified and turned to run. It did take advantage of the moment to react swiftly, but it had already attracted Qi Tian’s attention. He wouldn’t let it escape so easily. Qi Tian swung the Red Hoop Stick in his hand, striking the wing of the Demonic Bird. After a miserable shriek, the bird could no longer fly properly. Qi Tian spurred his flying sword to move a step forward, dealt another blow with his stick and killed the Demonic Bird directly. Afterward, Qi Tian grabbed the dead bird and put it into his Storage Bag, then flew towards the next Demonic Bird with a special bloodline.

Qi Tian possessed battle power equivalent to the Half-step Golden Core. Those Demonic Birds that he targeted were all unlucky. None of them were able to escape and were all beaten to death by his Red Hoop Stick. After that, Qi Tian focused his attention on the Half-step Golden Core Demonic Birds.

At this moment, the battle between the cultivators and Demonic Birds became more intense. The flying sailboat dispatched another group of cultivators, but there were only a few cultivators at the Half-step Golden Core stage. The vast majority were at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Despite the strength of cultivators having increased a bit due to this deployment, compared to the Demonic Birds, it was still deficient.

The captain and others on the flying sailboat became extremely anxious. They had attempted multiple times to establish contact with the Wanjie Commerce, but they didn’t know why they couldn’t get through. They were able to communicate with other flying sailboats before, but; now they could not. This situation caused the captain and others to feel like they were sinking into an abyss. They realized that a powerful presence surrounding the flying sailboat might have severed their communication. They must find a way to break this powerful presence’s blockade and send the message out; otherwise, if time dragged on a little longer, they would be completely annihilated.

Now was not the time to preserve strength. The captain made a tough call and began to gather his elite troops. Since he had to stay on the flying sailboat to command, he called his elite troops together and sent almost all of them out to try and break the enclosure and send a message to the Wanjie Commerce as soon as possible.

Qi Tian didn’t know that the communication around the flying sailboat had been cut off. He thought that the sailboat had already contacted the Wanjie Commerce and the current difficulty was temporary. If he had known, he might have been thinking of a way to escape by now.

At the moment, Qi Tian was targeting the Half-step Golden Core Demonic Birds with special bloodlines. He looked at the hundreds of Demonic Birds distributed around him. While killing the Demonic Birds rushing towards him, he was also planning the best attack strategy.

Those Half-step Golden Core Demonic Birds did not consider Qi Tian their primary target. Their first targets were those obviously at the Half-step Golden Core stage. The strategy ‘capture the leader first’, was also known to those Demonic Birds. As long as they concentrate on eliminating all the Half-step Golden Core humans, dealing with the remaining cultivators would be much easier. The elemental surprise would be child’s play.

Unintentionally, the strategy adopted by the Demonic Birds lessened the pressure on Qi Tian. It would be troublesome for him if he were to be jointly attacked by several Half-step Golden Core Demonic Birds. Some things he was not willing to reveal under these circumstances. Moreover, in the air, Demonic Birds had a clear home-field advantage. Although he could fly with his sword, compared to the naturally flying Demonic Birds, he was still at a disadvantage.

Qi Tian soon targeted a particular Demonic Bird. This Half-step Golden Core Demonic Bird was currently leading a group of Foundation Establishment Stage Demonic Birds to attack a few Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators who were battling back to back. These Foundation Establishment cultivators should have come from the same faction. Not only were their attires identical, but the cooperation was also pretty smooth. This was the fundamental reason why they could still hold onto their positions while being besieged by Demonic Birds led by the Half-step Golden Core Demonic Bird. According to the current trend, if they battled for a little longer, they would be doomed.”
