Chapter 521: Chapter 0355 You Are Just A Waste (New Book Cultivation and Wealth Seeks Collection)_2 Chapter 521: Chapter 0355 You Are Just A Waste (New Book Cultivation and Wealth Seeks Collection)_2 Gai Xudong won a battle, invigorated with a momentum spilling over like a rainbow. On his flying sword dripped the warm, fresh blood of Wen Jian, casting brilliant light into the surroundings. It was shockingly brilliant, as blinding as it was striking. At the same time, his followers, without any command, charged at Luo Xia and Hao Wenxi, aiming to prevent them from rescuing Wen Jian.

The Great Elder’s eyes were bloodshot with fury. He roared, “Gai Xudong, if you dare harm Wen Jian, I will haunt you even in death.”

But why would Gai Xudong take a warning from the Great Elder seriously? Having been through countless battles in his life, if anyone could ward him off with mere threats, why would he still be a cultivator? Under his control, the flying sword did not slow down, and went straight for Wen Jian’s Dantian.

Wen Jian was seriously injured, his movements severely impaired. Luo Xia and Hao Wenxi were held back and couldn’t arrive in time for the rescue. As the Dantian was about to be pierced, Wen Jian’s situation would become extremely grim. If he managed to survive, he wouldn’t be much different from a disabled man.

Desperation flashed in Wen Jian’s eyes. Ignoring everything, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the piercing flying sword. The sword was sharp beyond comparison, and with limited achievements in body cultivation, Wen Jian couldn’t block it with his bare hands. Despite his efforts, the sword still moved forward, piercing toward his Dantian. Blood seeped out from between his clenched fingers. The sound of the sword cutting his bones could even be heard.

“Wen Jian, stop struggling, the more you struggle, the more painful it gets,” Gai Xudong said, sneering as he fended off the attacks from the Great Elder and Xiao Ge.

The Great Elder’s eyes were blazing. It had been a long time since he and Gai Xudong had crossed swords. He originally thought that the gap between them was the same as before, but he had underestimated. The gap had grown. Like now, Gai Xudong was managing to fight three opponents simultaneously. To an extent, it was understandable. When he first fought Gai Xudong, they were both at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. Now Gai Xudong was at the Half-step Golden Core stage, and he was still at Foundation Establishment. Same goes for Xiao Ge, who was also at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.

“Chen Chen, none of you can save Wen Jian today. The Imperial Master Mansion is doomed to decline. Not only will you never have a second Golden Core cultivator, even a half-step Golden Core, you will not have a chance. Wen Jian dared to ascend to half-step Golden Core. He deserves to die,” Gai Xudong sneered.

“Die!” Seeing that the flying sword was about to pierce his Dantian, and everything would be too late by then, Wen Jian let out a roar, forcibly compressing the True Essence in his Dantian, and then suddenly released it all at once.

With a thunderous boom, Wen Jian’s Dantian exploded. The entire body’s True Essence was discharged in that instant, destroying Wen Jian’s Dantian, sacrificing more than half his life. The flying sword, heading straight toward Wen Jian’s Dantian, bore the brunt of the force. Immediately, the sword sported several notches.

Without his Dantian, Wen Jian could no longer hold onto the flying sword, and it slipped from his grasp.

Gai Xudong looked at his devastated sword with more grief than if he had lost his own parents. This was a top-quality flying sword that cost him a tremendous price to obtain. It was one of the better swords in the Guardian National Master Manor. He never expected Wen Jian to ruin it. This was absolutely unforgivable.

“Wen Jian, I’m going to kill you, kill you!” Gai Xudong roared.

The Great Elder threw himself at Gai Xudong recklessly. “Xiao Ge, I’ll hold Gai Xudong off. You take Wen Jian to the County Master Mansion quickly. Now, only Qi Tian can save us.”

“Great Elder, what about you?” Xiao Ge knew what could possibly happen if the Great Elder fought Gai Xudong alone.

“Never mind me, quickly take Wen Jian to Qi Tian.” The Great Elder shouted, “Luo Xia, Hao Wenxi, you two withdraw as well.”

To hold off Gai Xudong, the Great Elder was prepared to give up his own life. He started to burn his life force, unleashing forbidden techniques that raised his combat power enough to hold Gai Xudong back. “Go, hurry up.”

Xiao Ge no longer dared to waste time. Otherwise, the Elder’s life would be wasted in vain. He lifted up Wen Jian’s battered body and ran towards the County Master Mansion.

“Qi Tian, Qi Tian, save us.” Xiao Ge, Luo Xia, and Hao Wenxi screamed with desperation.

Qi Tian was currently receiving a report from Pan Yulin that a spiritual stone vein had been found in Lubei County. This was absolutely no trivial matter; even if the spiritual stone vein was entirely composed of low-grade spirit stones, it would still be an enormous fortune. Qi Tian needed to investigate this thoroughly and then decide what measures to take to control it. On one hand, Qi Tian himself needed cultivation resources for his cultivation, on the other hand, he had so many subordinates to support, so he couldn’t do without low-grade spirit stones.

Just as this was happening, Qi Tian faintly heard cries for help from Xiao Ge and his companions. Springing to his feet, Qi Tian said, “Something’s wrong. Pan Yulin, maintain control over the County Master Mansion. Wu Tao, Zhang Lei, you two, come with me.”

After swiftly giving instructions, Qi Tian, leading Wu Tao and Zhang Lei, dashed out of the County Master Mansion in the direction of the cries and rushed north of the county city.

Just outside the county city, Qi Tian saw Xiao Ge carrying a blood-soaked Wen Jian as they desperately fled. Luo Xia and Hao Wenxi were trying their hardest to fend off the enemies’ attacks.

“How audacious!” Qi Tian’s face darkened instantly. “Wu Tao, Zhang Lei, you two approach and support them. I will deal with the enemy.”

With a wave of his hand, Qi Tian released the Crane Bronze Statue and leapt onto its back. Guided by his thoughts, he charged forward.

Qi Tian had already embedded a middle-grade spirit stone into the Crane Bronze Statue in advance. The statue could be activated at any time and moved extremely fast. Almost instantly, he reached the cultivators who were chasing after Luo Xia and the rest.

Without giving them any warning, Qi Tian swept across with his Red Hoop Stick. His staff skill may appear unremarkable, yet it was tremendously powerful. The cultivators tried to block his attack, but failed to resist the primal might of his Red Hoop Stick. Like rotten watermelons, they were smashed open one by one by Qi Tian’s stick in no time.

“Qi Tian, quickly go save the Great Elder!” Luo Xia yelled before Qi Tian could turn around.

It was then that Qi Tian realized that the Great Elder Chen Chen was missing. He had a good impression of Great Elder Chen Chen. Although in Great Elder Chen Chen’s eyes, Wen Jian was more important than him, he still treated him well, regarding him as a pillar of Imperial Master Mansion’s future—yet one who would always stand behind Wen Jian.

Qi Tian directed the Crane Bronze Statue to continue flying northward. In less than a few seconds, he saw a shocking scene.

Great Elder Chen Chen was being stepped on by Gai Xudong as though he was a dead dog, appearing completely powerless to resist. “Chen Chen, you’ve made no progress all these years, what does that indicate? It means you’re simply a waste. Wastes in the world only waste food. What use can you be to me?”

As Gai Xudong spoke, he raised his flying sword high and swung it down towards Great Elder Chen Chen’s neck.

“Die.” Qi Tian aimed at Gai Xudong and hurled his Red Hoop Stick.

When Gai Xudong felt the fierce wind brought by the Red Hoop Stick, he hastily looked up to see what was coming, just to witness the Red Hoop Stick hurtling towards him. It was too late for him to dodge now, all he could do was change the course of his flying sword to counter the incoming stick.

Boom…

Gai Xudong felt as if his flying sword had not hit a stick, but a mountain. He couldn’t control his flying sword anymore, and with a snap of his wrist, his hand numbed and his sword slipped from his grasp.

“Qi Tian? How did you become so powerful?”

“You don’t need to know, all you need to know is that I, your lord, killed you.” Qi Tian was already flying toward him on the Crane Bronze Statue. Leaping off, he directed a punch of the Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist at Gai Xudong’s body.
