Gao Jinmei stood between Qi Tian and the female cultivator, her eyes full of hostility and wariness. Gao Jinmei had always known that she wasn’t the strongest person under this sky. When she was in Wanjie City, there were Nascent Soul Masters above her and numerous Gold Core Realm practitioners of the same level below her. As a mere cultivator at the third level of the Gold Core Realm, she was hardly noteworthy. Upon arriving in Great Zhao Nation, she hadn’t had a chance to do anything before encountering Qi Tian, her nemesis. She was ruthlessly humbled by him before she could show off her prowess.

However, Gao Jinmei did not degrade herself because of these events. She was quite self-aware. With her abilities, she could easily defeat ordinary cultivators at the third level of the Gold Core Realm. As an assassin, she had killed more than one cultivator at the Gold Core Realm third level. When facing cultivators of the same realm and level, she had considerable psychological advantages. But this time, facing the same-sex cultivator, for the first time, Gao Jinmei was unsure. But as Qi Tian’s Immortal Slave, even though she felt a lot of unease, she still chose to stand up and confront the female cultivator on behalf of Qi Tian.

The female cultivator glanced at Gao Jinmei with disdain in her eyes. She said, “Step aside, you’re no match for me.”

Gao Jinmei’s pride was provoked. She couldn’t stand the female cultivator’s contemptuous gaze and disdain. They were both women and both at the third level of the Gold Core Realm, so why was she looked down upon?

Gao Jinmei held her dagger tightly, her eyes filled with a strong fighting spirit. She said, “Whether I am a match for you or not can only be determined through a fight. Come on, let me teach you a lesson.”

Without waiting for the female cultivator’s response, Gao Jinmei launched herself at her opponent with extreme speed.

The female cultivator claimed to not regard Gao Jinmei as a threat, but when Gao Jinmei lunged at her, she didn’t dare to completely ignore Gao Jinmei’s attack after all. This was an experienced assassin—perhaps Gao Jinmei wasn’t as strong as her, but their power difference wasn’t overwhelming. If given the opportunity, Gao Jinmei could pose a significant threat to her.

The female cultivator reeled in most of her attention, also holding a dagger in her hand, as she engaged in a battle with Gao Jinmei.

Both of them were speed-based fighters, their movements fast and agile to the point of being dizzying. Often, in just the blink of an eye, their daggers would collide dozens of times. It was almost inhuman.

Jin Jin got up from the ground, clutching his thigh, kicked painfully by Qi Tian. He went over to Qi Tian’s side, watching the two fighting female cultivators. “Master,” he said, “should we help Gao Jinmei? Her situation doesn’t seem great.”

Qi Tian coolly replied, “You want to help? Go ahead.”

Jin Jin quickly shook his head. Although he could see that Gao Jinmei wasn’t gaining the upper hand in the battle, he wasn’t capable of intervening in the fight between the two women. On the one hand, both women were at a higher realm and had more strength than he did. On the other hand, the women’s speed was too fast, and he wouldn’t be able to keep up. If he tried to help, there was no guarantee that he’d be assisting Gao Jinmei, rather than hindering her.

“Master, you are the most capable,” Jin Jin hurriedly said. “I can’t do it, but you certainly can.”

Qi Tian responded, “No hurry, let’s watch a bit longer.”

It wasn’t that Qi Tian didn’t want to help Gao Jinmei, but rather he thought this battle was not only dangerous for her, but also a rare opportunity. If she hadn’t met this female cultivator, Gao Jinmei might still be unaware that such formidable cultivators existed at the Gold Core Realm third level. And, equally important, like her they were female cultivators and speed-based warriors wielding daggers. This was like a gift from God to Gao Jinmei. As long as she wasn’t a fool, she would realize just how valuable this opportunity was. As long as she could endure, she would reap significant benefits.

Of course, Qi Tian was closely observing the battle between the two women. This was a precious opportunity indeed, but he couldn’t allow Gao Jinmei’s chance to learn to become a death sentence. He had to prevent things from going horribly awry.

In the blink of an eye, the two female cultivators had exchanged dozens of moves. Gao Jinmei was doing her best. Clearly, she didn’t dare to let her guard down. She unleashed her bottom-of-the-box techniques and lifesaving measures without a thought to conserving them. However, as the fight went on, she began to fall behind the rhythm of the female cultivator. Her breathing became disordered, she was increasingly on the defensive, and even her movements began to go awry. It seemed that she would suffer a major setback within a few moves.

“Enough, Gao Jinmei, your training goal has been achieved. Quickly end the combat and withdraw.” Qi Tian reminded aloud.

Gao Jinmei wanted to retreat, but the female cultivator’s attack became more intense, seemingly intent on keeping her there. Gao Jinmei dared not withdraw. At this time, the female cultivator’s attack was at its sharpest. If she retreated now, serious injury would be the best scenario. Worst case scenario, she would lose her life.
