Chapter 485 - 485 0337 Is There Anyone Else Planning to

Chapter 485: Chapter 0337: Is There Anyone Else Planning to Reason with Me? – Part 2 Chapter 485: Chapter 0337: Is There Anyone Else Planning to Reason with Me? – Part 2 In other places, Qi Tian dared not make assumptions, but in the Cultivation World of Great Zhao, if he saw someone controlling a flying sword, there was a seventy percent chance that the person was from the Guardian National Master Manor. The chance of error was less than thirty percent.

“What is your relationship with the Guardian National Master Manor?” asked Qi Tian.

“Young lad, considering you know about the Guardian National Master Manor, I’ll admit you’re not completely stupid. If you know what’s good for you, leave right away. Say another word and believe me or not, I’ll capture you. I’ll wreck your Dantian and make you, just like those mud-legged peasants, do hard labor,” the sword-controlling cultivator immediately switched his demeanor and began to directly threaten him.

Qi Tian sneered. Sitting on Hu Niu’s back, he directly aimed at the man in the sky and threw a punch. The eleventh move of the Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist, Nine Gates Tiger Leopard. Qi Tian didn’t even activate the Heavenly Dao Engine. A punch-shaped shadow flew out from his fist, instantly transformed into several tigers and leopards, and fiercely charged towards the man in the sky.

The sword-controlling cultivator didn’t expect that Qi Tian would take action as soon as he said. He was too late to evade. Although he could control his sword, his actual cultivation level wasn’t high, only at the initial stage of Qi Cultivation. Compared to Qi Tian, who had killed several hundreds of those at the half-step Golden Core, he was far inferior.

Bang… Qi Tian’s projected punch heavily fell on the body of the sword-controlling cultivator. The man screamed miserably and flew off of his sword, heavily falling to the ground. Fortunately, he wasn’t too high from the ground, about three meters; thus, he didn’t die from the fall. However, he couldn’t avoid fracturing several bones. This was Qi Tian being merciful by not using full power. Otherwise, even without using the Heavenly Dao Engine, Qi Tian could blast this impudent guy away with a single punch.

Without needing Qi Tian’s command, Hu Niu walked towards the man who had fallen from his flying sword. Her paw, which was as large as a basin, stepped on his chest. The man opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Answer my question,” Qi Tian coldly stared at him.

“You’re dead meat.” Unexpectedly, this guy was a tough nut to crack or didn’t believe that Qi Tian could shake his backing power. Not only did he not answer Qi Tian’s question, but he also took out a whistle, placed it in his mouth, and blew it. Instantly, a not very loud but extremely penetrative whistle sound flew out from the whistle.

“No regard for his life.”

Hu Niu’s paw suddenly pressed down hard, immediately crushing the chest of this ignorant guy. The rib cage turned into fragments, and his internal organs were all ruined.

Although this guy had been killed, the whistle had already been sounded. There were more than twenty people in charge of supervising the villagers in the mine. There were several cultivators similar to that sword-controlling cultivator. There were two others who could fly, and they both flew up and rushed towards Qi Tian. The rest, who couldn’t fly, also showed their skills and rushed towards Qi Tian.

Qi Tian stroked Hu Niu’s head and said, “I’ll leave it to you. Just don’t kill them, everything else is up to you.” After giving his command, Qi Tian somersaulted down from Hu Niu’s back.

Hu Niu had been itching for a fight for a long time. She hadn’t fought in a very long time. Qi Tian’s strength was increasing too fast, and she couldn’t keep up anymore. Every time she followed Qi Tian, she was restricted to being a mount, having nothing else to do, or was put into the Spirit Beast Bracelet for protection by Qi Tian. The several ignorant idiots they encountered this time were still in the Qi Cultivation Period, not enough to give her a fair fight, but they could at least help her stretch her muscles.

Seeing two cultivators flying over, Hu Niu bowed, oriented herself, and vigorously kicked the ground with her back legs. The entire Golden Flur Tiger shot up into the air. Tiger beasts were naturally excellent at leaping. Hu Niu, a Foundation Establishment Stage Golden Flur tiger, had even stronger jumping ability. With just a light leap, she jumped more than ten feet high, directly attacking one of the cultivators.

The two front paws of the Golden Flur Tiger opened wide, instantly embracing the cultivator down from his flying sword. The other cultivator was frightened and quickly controlled his flying sword to escape in another direction. However, he was too close to his partner, and Hu Niu’s tail swung over like a steel whip, hitting his flying sword. Bang, the sword was whipped away, and losing support from under his feet, he screamed and fell down from the sky.

Hu Niu dropped to the ground, herding the two unfortunate cultivators towards each other. Then she ran to Qi Tian’s side, nuzzling her fluffy head against his hand. Qi Tian pointed at several cultivators who had recently arrived, saying, “I’m giving them to you as well.”

With a roar, Hu Niu threw herself at the cultivators. They turned and fled in fright, but they could not outrun Hu Niu. Moreover, their mounts were so terrified of Hu Niu that they fell to the ground, paralyzed, defying all attempts at goading or beating to move.

It only took a few moments for these haughty cultivators, who used to ride roughshod over common folks, to become captives of Qi Tian. He pointed to a distant castle and instructed Hu Niu, “Go there, haul all those cultivators you find there. Show no mercy to anyone who dares to resist.”

Hu Niu nodded her head and ran towards the castle.

Qi Tian stared icily at the injured cultivators captured by Hu Niu and said, “Now I’ll give you a chance: answer my questions, and perhaps I’ll consider sparing your lives. Otherwise, you’re all as good as dead.”

“Sir, are you aware of the gravity of your actions? All of Great Zhao will hunt you down,” a cultivator cried out.

Qi Tian scoffed, “Oh, so you know that Great Zhao has laws? Then what about your pillaging, the mass enslavement, and the countless villagers harmed or killed? How should you be held accountable?”

“They’re nothing but ants. If they die, they die. Besides, we didn’t capture them for personal gain. We did it for a greater purpose. Once accomplished, it’ll benefit Great Zhao and these ants,” the cultivator defended.

“Nonsense. So, your ‘greater purpose’ is built upon the corpses of these common folks? If you simply hired the locals, gave them some wages, even below market rates, and allowed them to seek treatment, I wouldn’t care about your business. Yet look at what you did: you treat these people like beasts of burden, worse, without a penny of wage or care about their wellbeing. You can’t even guarantee them a simple meal. And you want me to believe you’re doing this for some grand cause? Don’t give me that. Just tell me, which faction do you belong to? What is your purpose here?” Qi Tian asked coldly.

The cultivator tried to sway Qi Tian again, “Sir, please reconsider. Is it worth offending us for these peasants?”

Qi Tian waved his hand, crushing the man’s head with a punch. Blood splattered all over the other cultivators. The timid ones were so scared they wet themselves.

“Does anyone else want to argue with me? No worries, I can give them a chance,” Qi Tian said coldly.

The remaining cultivators realized that Qi Tian was adamant about opposing them. Threatening him with the Guardian National Master Manor would be futile.

A sensible cultivator hastily said, “Please spare us, Sir. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. We promise to tell everything we know.”

“Good. Let’s start with your identities,” instructed Qi Tian.

The clever cultivator did not waste any time and began to recount everything in detail, as instructed by Qi Tian.
