Master Ju and the others had a high regard for Qi Tian. By using the Array, they trapped themselves and Qi Tian in the same circle, and to express their determination to fight to the death, the two Gold Core powerhouses who set up the array even destroyed their Array Flags as soon as the defensive barrier sprang up. The Array that trapped them was extremely sturdy, and even without relying on the Array Flag for support, it would take a long time to break through it. In their view, without the Array Flag, Qi Tian will not be able to break the array, he can only do a deathmatch with them in the defensive barrier until they kill him.

Even if Qi Tian manages to defy all odds and kills all three of them, with the defensive barrier in place, they can trap him inside the barrier for a long time, making it easier for the Chi Di cultivators to mobilize more manpower to destroy Qi Tian.

Of course, no one really took this “what-if” seriously. Qi Tian, who was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, was, in their eyes, not a threat. They could do whatever Qi Tian could, and do it better and more splendidly too. Besides, they had a huge gap in cultivation stage and numbers. No matter how many reasons they came up with, they believed they wouldn’t die at Qi Tian’s hands, let alone be wiped out entirely. This was completely absurd.

Frankly, the intelligence from the Chi Di cultivators was a bit outdated. If they knew that Qi Tian had killed several Gold Core powerhouses in Lubei County, they wouldn’t have had such ideas. Unfortunately, their spies lurking inside the borders of Great Zhao didn’t relay back the news about Qi Tian’s killing spree. Qi Tian’s antics in Lubei County were contained within a small circle. Imperial Master Mansion was vigilant against the spies from Chi Di, having killed many of them already. Of all the master mansions, Imperial Master Mansion handled this the best. The Crown Prince, who had lost a number of Gold Core external supporters, was too ashamed to share this information. Additionally, Chi Di’s intelligence on Great Zhao was primarily focused on the imperial court and border regions, areas apart from the Imperial Master Mansion and Qi Tian’s County Master Mansion, hence it was unsurprising that they were uninformed on this.

Master Ju and the others completely surrounded Qi Tian, taking out their best weapons. This time, they didn’t plan on holding back, intending to go all out to kill Qi Tian.

Although Qi Tian looked calm on the surface, he was highly alert. This was his first time facing three Gold Core powerhouses, especially Master Ju, who was at the Second Level of the Gold Core Stage. The pressure that the trio put on Qi Tian was immense. But Qi Tian didn’t retreat. He was prepared for this when he left with Gao Jinmei. This was the most dangerous situation that he had anticipated. He had only one way to break the stalemate — go all-in.

While Master Ju and the others were drawing their weapons, Qi Tian also drew out his Red Hoop Stick. With a loud shout, he charged towards Master Ju, who was within arm’s reach.

The Gold Core powerhouse to the left of Master Ju was quick to respond. The moment Qi Tian made his move, he threw a rope towards Qi Tian. Like a flexible snake, it instantly wrapped itself around Qi Tian’s waist. Its speed, simply gave no room for escape.

In the eyes of a commoner, Qi Tian had only two options at this point: to ignore the incoming rope and continue attacking, or to confront the pursuer and unravel the rope.

This wasn’t just an ordinary rope; it was extremely precious and durable. Ever since its owner acquired it, it was used sparingly and always managed to capture his adversaries. Every time, the owner reused the same technique to trap his enemies with the rope.

This time, he was again planning to ensnare Qi Tian with the rope.

Qi Tian reacted swiftly. Before even reaching Master Ju, he sensed the incoming rope. He quickly reached out to grab it, unaware that the rope, or rather, its owner, was controlling it from afar.

Just when the rope was about to get snared by Qi Tian’s hand, it suddenly curved. Initially, the rope was intended to ensnare Qi Tian, but instead locked on to Qi Tian’s wrist. Seeing its rapid growth, Qi Tian knew he wouldn’t have long before he couldn’t dodge it anymore.

In all honesty, Qi Tian had no intention of dodging. When the rope skirted past his hand, he was mentally prepared. He grabbed the rope, now coiled around his wrist, tightly to prevent it from slithering further up. If it wrapped him entirely, it would surely not be amusing.

Qi Tian had a firm grip. Once he had seized the rope, it stopped moving, as if it were a venomous snake that had been defanged and basically dead.
