The barefoot man, his right hand raised high, concentrated a boundless black light in his palm and unleashed a lightning palm strike. A column of black light shot from his hand, carrying a terrifying energy that violently slammed into the defensive barrier.

It was far from a full-power strike. However, even at seventy percent, his strike possessed enough force to fell a Gold Core First Level cultivator from his feet. Much to the barefoot man’s astonishment, the Four Symbols Array’s defensive barrier didn’t yield an inch.

What?

The barefoot man widened his eyes in shock. Although he wasn’t an Array Master, he was familiar with the Four Symbols Array. According to typical circumstances, his palm strike should have shattered the defensive barrier of the array. Yet, why hadn’t it exhibited any sign of impact at all?

Even Chen Wenbo hadn’t expected this. When the barefoot man launched that blow, he thought he was saved. But unexpectedly ended up with such a result. The barefoot man’s strike had no effect.

Qi Tian gave a cold smile. He had thoroughly comprehended the Four Symbols Array in this period. It was evident from how he had just used the Four Symbols Array as bait to lure Chen Wenbo into the array’s defensive barrier. As for the Four Symbols Array being able to block the barefoot man’s attack, it was within Qi Tian’s expectations. He had not only changed the structure of the array but had also power-loaded it with numerous top-grade spirit stones. Otherwise, how could the Four Symbols Array withstand the barefoot man’s attack?

“Chen Wenbo, you have committed heinous crimes, repeatedly targeting the Imperial Master Mansion and particularly me. Today’s the day I settle this with you.”

“Wait, Qi Tian, you need to hear my explanation.” Chen Wenbo, sensing the gravity of the situation, attempted to stall Qi Tian with words.

Qi Tian wasn’t one to engage in small talk with his enemies. He lunged forward, drew his Red Hoop Stick, and smashed it towards Chen Wenbo. Chen Wenbo hastily blocked with his sword, but it was too light and of mediocre quality. Furthermore, his strength fell far behind Qi Tian’s. His block was ineffective. His sword-wielding hand was pulverized by the Red Hoop Stick.

Following that, Qi Tian swung his stick again, hitting Chen Wenbo squarely on the head. His skull shattered, sending a spray of black blood flying everywhere. Chen Wenbo dropped dead in an instant.

As the barefoot man was preparing his second strike, he suddenly saw Qi Tian kill Chen Wenbo effortlessly, which infuriated him. “Qi Tian, you dare to kill Chen Wenbo. Do you realize how much time it takes me to secure a Gold Core Stage zombie slave? You dare to kill him, and you will replace him as my zombie slave. Not just you, but also your subordinates and the entire Imperial Master Mansion, I won’t let any of you off.”

Qi Tian calmly said: “Try it then.”

The barefoot man roared, and his body rapidly swelled. His skin turning to black, his face taking on a sinister aspect, and his eyes becoming blood-red. In just a few seconds, there wasn’t a hint of his human form left. His body had grown so massive that his clothes were tattered. Despite his clothes looking old and worn, Qi Tian got an intimidating vibe from him.

The barefoot man emitted a sky-high aura. Boundless black clouds swirled around him, demonstrating a monstrous ferocity. His balled-up fists, spread-opened arms, and head raised in a heaven-shattering roar.

Even cloaked in the Four Symbols Array’s defensive barrier, Qi Tian couldn’t help but pale.

Drought Ancient, he is a Drought Ancient!

The Drought Ancient is hailed as the ancestor of all zombies. While the barefoot man couldn’t possibly be the ancestor of all zombies, he seemed to possess the bloodline of the Drought Ancient. He had probably activated his Drought Ancient bloodline, thus revealing his original form. Without the constraints of a human form, his combat power was bound to increase exponentially.

The barefoot man was initially more powerful than Qi Tian. With his transformation, his strength would increase enormously, widening the gap between them. This battle was not going to be easy.

After declaring his return to the heaven and earth, the barefoot man turned his attention back to the Four Symbols Array. An evil grin crept up on his face as he looked at Qi Tian, like he was nothing more than an insignificant ant. He raised his hand once more, the infinite black light concentrating into his fist. In a blink, his fist seemed to turn into a black hole, swallowing everything in its view.

“Qi Tian, I hope you won’t disappoint me.” The barefoot man’s voice boomed like thunder rolling in the heavens.

Boom…

The barefoot man’s punch landed on the Four Symbols Array’s defensive barrier. The barrier, which had emerged unscathed from the barefoot man’s previous at seventy percent strength, now shattered in an instant and couldn’t hold up for even a second.

The punch’s momentum didn’t diminish after shattering the array, and it continued towards Qi Tian, who saw the danger and had already jumped onto the back of his immortal crane statue. The moment the barrier broke, he flew away riding the crane statue.

The barefoot man punched out again. His fist glowed with a black shimmer, and countess runes swirled around it. He showed no mercy with this punch, which had an earth-shattering force.
