Chapter 607: Chapter 0399: An Interview – Part 2 Chapter 607: Chapter 0399: An Interview – Part 2 Qi Tian was already familiar with the Four Symbols Array, one of his personal formations that he could execute flawlessly. He took out the array disk and the array flag to set it up. The barefoot cultivator and Chen Wenbo noticed Qi Tian landing on the ground from afar. Fearing he might use the Teleportation Array Disk to escape, they pushed their speeds to their respective limits, intending to intercept him.

About ten minutes later, the barefoot cultivator and Chen Wenbo almost reached above Qi Tian. Just as Qi Tian finished arranging the Four Symbols Array, he cast a spirit rune on the array disk, raising a brilliant Defensive Barrier that protected him.

The barefoot cultivator and Chen Wenbo flew over, and upon seeing Qi Tian hiding within the Defensive Barrier with no Teleportation Array Disk in sight, they let out a sigh of relief. Their biggest worry was that Qi Tian would use the Teleportation Array Disk to leave.

The Four Symbols Array in the Lubei County Master Mansion was initially bought at a huge cost by Chen Wenbo from Wanjie City. However, Qi Tian’s appearance in Lubei County was so abrupt, and considering the existence of the Bloodline Pear Fruit in the County Master Mansion, Chen Wenbo decided to leave the array there. At that time, he thought he could drive out Qi Tian later and regain control of Lubei County. But events developed far beyond their control, with Qi Tian taking over the Lubei County Master Mansion, the spirit stone veins, and naturally, the Four Symbols Array originally placed for the protection of the Mansion.

Seeing this Four Symbols Array reminded Chen Wenbo of all his failures, causing rage to smolder in his eyes. Qi Tian had been his nemesis. Before he met Qi Tian, he had always been carefree and never knew what failure or loss tasted like. But after his first encounter with Qi Tian, everything began to go downhill.

Back then, he led his disciple, Gao Han, to the Imperial Master Mansion intending to usurp the County Master position from Qi Tian. This provoked the Mansion Master, Xiao Xiaowu. Under Xiao Xiaowu’s deterrence, he had to agree to let Gao Han and Qi Tian decide the position through a duel. When Gao Han was defeated, Chen Wenbo tasted failure for the first time. From then on, things continued to go south for him.

All these grievances erupted in his mind. To the barefoot cultivator, Chen Wenbo said: “Master, this Four Symbols Array was left by me in Lubei County. I am familiar with its weak points. Please give me an opportunity to attack this array and capture Qi Tian.”

The barefoot cultivator nodded, saying: “You are not Qi Tian’s opponent. All you need to do is break the array. I will handle everything else.”

The barefooted cultivator’s comments stung Chen Wenbo’s pride. But he knew it was true. A lot of Gold Core cultivators had failed against Qi Tian recently, and even though he had just recently broken through to the Gold Core stage, he didn’t believe he could defeat Qi Tian.

The barefoot cultivator and Chen Wenbo came to a position directly above Qi Tian, looking down at him. Qi Tian was sitting in the Defensive Barrier created by the Four Symbols Array, unconcerned. He only glanced at the barefoot cultivator and Chen Wenbo, then ignored them.

Qi Tian’s indifference was too much for Chen Wenbo to bear. If he were still a Half-step Golden Core and an ordinary cultivator, he might just put up with it. But he had become a Gold Core cultivator, and moreover, a zombie slave due to Qi Tian. Chen Wenbo found this unbearable.

Chen Wenbo rushed down from the sky. The Defensive Barrier of the Four Symbols Array was on the ground and difficult to hit from the air. He had to land and attack from the ground.

Chen Wenbo circled the Defensive Barrier and quickly deduced its weak point. Smirking at Qi Tian who was hiding in the barrier, he said: “Qi Tian, you have been rampant these days, haven’t you? Killing many Gold Core cultivators, forcing King Zhangbei, Zhao Donghao, to abdicate, you even aimed at the Crown Prince. I have never seen anyone as arrogant as you. Today, I will show you that everyone gets what they deserve. Today is your day of retribution.”

Chen Wenbo summoned his flying sword with a spirit rune and used it to attack the weak point of the Defensive Barrier. But when his sword hit the barrier, it only produced sparks and left no signs of damage.

Chen Wenbo’s expression changed instantly. “This is impossible,” he said.

Qi Tian sneered coldly, saying, “Fool. Don’t you realize I’ve already adjusted the Four Symbols Array? With your abilities, how could you break my Four Symbols Array?”

At this point, Chen Wenbo couldn’t stand any kind of provocation, especially if it came from Qi Tian. He summoned his flying sword into his hand with a spirit rune, and shouted harshly, “Qi Tian, I don’t believe you’re that capable. I’ll try again now. Prepare yourself.”

With a flick of his flying sword, Chen Wenbo leaped forward. All his power as a Gold Core stage cultivator was imbued in this one strike, aimed straight at the weak point of the defensive barrier.

Doing so increased the power of his attack by more than twice. The flying sword hit the defensive barrier and, with a hissing sound, ripped a hole through it.

Chen Wenbo had put all his strength into that strike, and it never occurred to him that the defensive barrier could be broken so easily. He had put all his power into breaking through the barrier, and after it had been pierced, he couldn’t stop his momentum, crashing straight into the barrier.

Like a layer of paper, the defensive barrier was ruptured by Chen Wenbo who rushed inside. Behind him, the barrier instantly resealed itself, separating the inside from the limitless world outside. Inside the barrier were only two people: Chen Wenbo and Qi Tian.

As Chen Wenbo stormed into the defensive barrier, he was somewhat panicked. Qi Tian’s reputation was too formidable, after all. Gao Jinmei had even become Qi Tian’s servant, and Chen Wenbo’s abilities were far inferior to hers. In this situation, being trapped in the same space as Qi Tian was tantamount to seeking death.

But soon, Chen Wenbo thought of the defensive barrier. He hadn’t exerted much effort to break in, suggesting that this Four Symbols Array was all show and no substance. If it couldn’t even stop him, how could it stop the barefoot man outside?

“Heh heh, Qi Tian, I thought you ran so quickly for some reason. So you’re just trying to scare us with this cheap knock-off? Who are you trying to fool?” Chen Wenbo sneered.

Qi Tian smiled, saying, “Idiot, try leaving. If you can get out, then I lose and you can do whatever you want.”

Seeing Qi Tian’s confidence, Chen Wenbo became a little nervous. However, he turned to face the defensive barrier of the Four Symbols Array and thrust his flying sword forward. But the same barrier that he had easily pierced and passed through earlier was now impregnable, no matter how he wielded his sword, the barrier remained intact.

“What’s going on?”

“Nothing much. I just used a simple trick to lure you in. Chen Wenbo, let me ask you, how does it feel to be trapped in here with me? Are you scared?” Qi Tian teased maliciously.

Chen Wenbo inwardly cursed his luck, and hurriedly shouted, “Master, save me. Save me quickly!”

By now, the barefoot cultivator also began to sense that something was wrong. Although he didn’t particularly care about Chen Wenbo, this zombie servant of his was still a Gold Core Stage one, and such servant wasn’t easy to acquire in the Great Zhao Cultivation World…
