Chapter 570: Chapter 0380: Rift Chapter 570: Chapter 0380: Rift Chapter 0380 The Crack

The pretend Mansion Master is stronger than Meng Fandong. After enduring Qi Tian’s initial storm-like attack, the pretend Mansion Master drew out his weapon, a knife – a top-grade earth-level treasure. The blade was crimson red, as if forged from fresh blood.

“Qi Tian, you are audacious to rise against your betters. Let’s see how I behead you.” Even at this moment, the fake Mansion Master still didn’t forget to play his role.

Qi Tian didn’t argue with the fake Mansion Master, for it was pointless. Moreover, anything he said now was futile. Even if Luo Xia and Hao Wenxi, who were outside the Defensive Barrier, had never seen the real Mansion Master, Xiao Xiaowu, use this kind of blood knife, they would still believe that the fake Mansion Master was Xiao Xiaowu. They could even come up with all kinds of reasons to justify it. At this moment, there was only one way to prove Qi Tian’s claims. That was to kill the fake Mansion Master. By searching his storage bag, it would be very easy to reveal his true identity.

Qi Tian took out his Red Hoop Stick, initiated the Heavenly Dao Engine to its fullest, and charged towards the fake Mansion Master in a fury.

The fake Mansion Master sneered. “A mere eight-layer Foundation Establishment dares to strike at me. You truly don’t know the meaning of death.”

The fake Mansion Master charged with his knife in hand, and a fierce battle ensued between him and Qi Tian in the County Master Mansion. Neither of the two held back, all their ultimate moves were put into play. Especially Qi Tian, who unprecedentedly ignited the Heavenly Dao Engine to its limit. By converting the accumulated fuel at an observable rate into Qi Tian’s extraordinary power, both his speed and strength achieved their greatest possible enhancements.

At first, the fake Mansion Master held his own against Qi Tian. After all, he was a Gold Core cultivator with a prolonged breath and a robust True Essence that the peak of Foundation Establishment couldn’t be compared with. However, as the battle dragged on, he began to falter.

Qi Tian had built a solid foundation during the Qi Cultivation Period. His True Essence and physique were much stronger than other cultivators at the same stage. This was the reason he could combat a Gold Core cultivator. However, Qi Tian also had the Heavenly Dao Engine to enhance his combat power, and it kept continuously replenishing his True Essence and physical strength when needed.

This allowed Qi Tian to match up to the fake Mansion Master in terms of combat power and even exceed him in terms of endurance.

After an extended high-intensity battle, the fake Mansion Master began to weaken. He felt more drained than when he was surrounded and attacked by two or three cultivators of his own level. He cursed Qi Tian for his inhuman endurance. He knew that if the battle continued in this vein, he might not be able to hold out. He attempted to break through the Four Symbols Array Defensive Barrier during the fight. However, Qi Tian didn’t give him any opportunity. Moreover, the barrier was powerful. The aftereffect of their battle had hit against the barrier several times, but the barrier remained solid. Even given the chance, he could not break it in a short time.

Out of desperation, the fake Mansion Master aimed at disciples of the Imperial Master Mansion like Luo Xia. While fiercely resisting Qi Tian’s attack, he shouted, “You useless fools, why don’t you break the barrier and come to save me?”

Blood almost gushed out from Luo Xia, Hao Wenxi, and three elders’ eyes as they relentlessly launched desperate attacks against Lu Jingfei and others, trying to drive them away from the Defensive Barrier. However, Lu Jingfei and the others had received strict orders from Qi Tian—they must not retreat. These were the ones who had pledged allegiance to Qi Tian. And Qi Tian had favored them when distributing the spoils of war after he killed Meng Fandong. The equipment they had received was now playing its role. Furthermore, there were three of them against Luo Xia’s two Pseudo Core cultivators. The few other elders were not worth mentioning.

However, this situation would not last long. The elders of the Imperial Master Mansion were probably on their way. Once they arrived, things would get complicated.

There needs to be a swift resolution.

A fierce glint flashed in Qi Tian’s eyes. A few Thunder Talismans appeared in his hand as he patted his storage bag. He threw them vehemently at the fake Mansion Master. All of these Thunder Talismans were spoils from Qi Tian’s battles. Each of them was invaluable and posed a significant threat to Gold Core cultivators. At this moment, they all burst out, leaving the fake Mansion Master, who was at the center of the explosion, in a tight spot.

Cashing in on this opportunity, Qi Tian raised his Red Hoop Stick high and swung it down at the fake Mansion Master.

The fake Mansion Master had to fend off the Thunder Talismans while also defending against Qi Tian’s attack. Consequently, he was spread too thin and exposed a gap. Qi Tian seized this opportunity and landed a fierce blow on the fake Mansion Master’s back.

The fake Mansion Master spat out a mouthful of blood, and several of his bones were cracked. His combat power dropped after the injury. He was initially only on par with Qi Tian, and now he fell into a passive state. Soon, he was unable to hold on and was repeatedly hit by Qi Tian, finally collapsing on the ground, unable to move.
