Chapter 643: Chapter 0417: Destroying the Royal Court (13)_2 Chapter 643: Chapter 0417: Destroying the Royal Court (13)_2 Heavenly Khan looked back at Qi Tian, hoping Qi Tian would realize the fullness of his situation. Even though Qi Tian had utilized impressively powerful tactics, hadn’t they all been staved off by his controlled power? Heavenly Khan wanted Qi Tian to see the depths of his hopelessness.

But Heavenly Khan said witnessed a horrifying sight when Qi Tian stretched out his hand and pushed against the barrier of the Floating Imprisonment Ox Array. To his disbelief, a hole large enough for someone to crawl through appeared in the seemingly impassable barrier. Then, Qi Tian bent down and crawled out, ending up between the barrier of the Floating Imprisonment Ox Array and the second layer barrier erected by the Chi Di cultivators.

“How could this be?” Heavenly Khan exclaimed, astounded.

It was not just Heavenly Khan who struggled to accept the reality. Both Wang Youjun and Jin Jin, who had followed Qi Tian through the hole, were completely stunned. They had attacked the barrier of the Floating Imprisonment Ox Array together for several days, yet had been unable to destabilize it. Right under their noses, Qi Tian created a large hole in the unbreakable barrier, allowing them a smooth escape. Now, they finally understood that Qi Tian had always been confident in his ability to destroy the barrier. Thus, even in the midst of panic they never saw any sign of harried expressions on Qi Tian’s face. Their only master knew all along that the barrier of Floating Imprisonment Ox Array wouldn’t be able to trap them.

“The two of you are still in a trance? Once we go out, I will assign you a task: kill the array masters. Understand?” Qi Tian ordered.

Wang Youjun and Jin Jin promptly nodded. Once they escaped the Floating Imprisonment Ox Array, they would need to reset their mentality and not bargain with Qi Tian. They remembered how the Chi Di cultivators had treated them when they were trapped—unforgettable, and it was time for payback.

Wang Youjun spoke first, “Master, let me handle this last barrier.”

The last barrier was weak and, at most, could block a half-step Golden Core. But Wang Youjun was a genuine Golden Core powerhouse. A few hits and the barrier would collapse; it would be easy.

Qi Tian laughed. He reached out and slapped the barrier in front of him. The barrier which could restrict a half-step Golden Core shattered instantly, collapsing within a moment.

Both Wang Youjun and Jin Jin were shocked. Qi Tian easily broke a barrier strong enough to trap a half-step Golden Core cultivator—it was petrifying.

“What are you standing around for? Why haven’t you moved?” a stern Qi Tian ordered.

It was only then that Wang Youjun and Jin Jin came to their senses. Not wasting another second, they lunged at the nearby array masters. They had been trapped in the Floating Imprisonment Ox Array for days, and now was the time to vent their frustration.

Seeing Qi Tian, Wang Youjun, and Jin Jin easily escape the trap he’d set up, Heavenly Khan was infuriated, but did not lose his rationality. Instead, he turned and ran. Qi Tian was mighty, and he realized he couldn’t face Qi Tian alone.

“Protect me, protect me,” Heavenly Khan yelled as he ran towards the formation made up of the Wolf Guards and the reserve Wolf Guards.

The Wolf Guards and the reserve guards, who were all loyal to Heavenly Khan, rushed over upon seeing him approach.

Qi Tian scoffed coldly, activating the Heavenly Dao Engine to its limits. In the blink of an eye, he reached Heavenly Khan, raised his fist, and aimed a punch at Heavenly Khan’s back.

With a thunderous bang, Qi Tian’s Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist hit Heavenly Khan like a heavy hammer, striking him in the back. Heavenly Khan spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body flew forward. At the same time, numerous runes appeared on his back. The dragon robe he was wearing was an excellent defensive magical artifact. It absorbed more than half of Qi Tian’s power; otherwise, Qi Tian’s punch could have taken Heavenly Khan’s life.

“Heavenly Khan, Heavenly Khan…” The Wolf Guards rushed to catch Heavenly Khan, shouting out.

Opening his eyes, Heavenly Khan fearfully glanced at Qi Tian and ordered, “All of you go, block Qi Tian for me.”

The Wolf Guards and substitute Wolf Guards knew that this command was a death sentence, but they bravely charged towards Qi Tian, attempting to stall the onslaught of Qi Tian, who was as fierce as a tiger descending a mountain.

Qi Tian sneered, casually pulling out his Red Hoop Stick. He executed the Eighteen Demonic Strokes as if he were playing baseball, swinging the Red Hoop Stick non-stop. Despite being trapped in the Floating Imprisonment Ox Array for several days, his state and battle power remained unaffected. With every swing, several Wolf Guards were killed or sent flying. In almost no time, he broke through the overconfident Wolf Guards.

Heavenly Khan used this brief period to swallow a pill, then mounted a flying sword, planning to escape.

How could Qi Tian let Heavenly Khan get away? He took out the bronze crane statue, placed a top-grade spirit stone on it, and then activated the statue to chase after Heavenly Khan.

Heavenly Khan’s flying sword was of good quality, but its flight speed was slower compared to Qi Tian’s bronze crane statue powered by a top-grade spirit stone. It didn’t take long for Qi Tian to catch up with Heavenly Khan.

Qi Tian twirled his Red Hoop Stick and ferociously aimed for Heavenly Khan’s back. Heavenly Khan heard the vicious wind behind him and tried to evade the blow, but Qi Tian didn’t give him a chance. At that moment, the Heavenly Dao Engine was ignited, the speed of his swing suddenly increased many times over, as swift as lightning. The Red Hoop Stick struck Heavenly Khan’s back heavily.

Heavenly Khan’s spine was instantly shattered by the Red Hoop Stick. He instantly collapsed like a noodle, and as he was standing on a flying sword, he lost control over his lower body and fell off the sword.

Qi Tian watched the scene indifferently. He simply collected the flying sword controlled by Heavenly Khan, then quietly watched as Heavenly Khan fell from a height of dozens of meters to the ground.

This fall cost Heavenly Khan half his life. Qi Tian landed on the ground, raised his Red Hoop Stick, and knocked it on Heavenly Khan’s head. Instantly, Heavenly Khan’s head exploded, sending him to his death.

Qi Tian temporarily stored Heavenly Khan’s body. Then, he flew back into the sky and headed towards the Royal Court. He hadn’t gone far before he quickly returned to the Royal Court.

Here, Deng Chuanliang was still battling Bodar Khan, while Wang Youjun and Jin Jin were slaughtering array masters. Seeing Qi Tian return with a bloody stick in his hand, Bodar Khan’s eyes instantly turned red. He knew that Heavenly Khan was most likely dead. He never would have predicted that the situation, which was originally in favor of the Chi Di cultivators, would turn out this way. The victory they had pursued at great cost was now unattainable. Worse, it seemed that their side might be obliterated. This was a result that Bodar Khan simply could not accept.

Bodar Khan’s eyes instantly turned blood red. He roared out, “You have forced me to this, don’t blame me for a fight to the death.”

First, Bodar Khan pushed Deng Chuanliang aside, then took out an array flag from his storage bag…
