Chapter 731: Chapter 0461: Sort Out the Accounts Properly_2 Chapter 731: Chapter 0461: Sort Out the Accounts Properly_2 The short Gold Core Realm powerholder’s eyes instantly gleamed as they locked onto Qi Tian with his Divine Sense. He knew there had to be something special about Qi Tian, who had been betrayed by everyone on the ship. Even if he didn’t have the Stone Milk Liquid, he must have other valuable items. Capturing Qi Tian would definitely ensure a huge profit.

A thought occurred to Qi Tian. He tipped-toed and leaped like a frightened rabbit, rocketing three feet before diving into the thick fog outside the flying sailboat.

The short Gold Core Realm powerholder didn’t expect Qi Tian to make that move. Yet, Qi Tian’s actions only made him more certain that Qi Tian had something valuable. Without a moment’s hesitation, he went after Qi Tian, unafraid of the thick fog — he had the Thousand Miles Mirror. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to locate the flying sailboat and board it to commit robbery.

“Don’t chase me. I really don’t have any Stone Milk Liquid with me,” Qi Tian protested.

If you don’t have it, then stop and let me search you,” the short Gold Core Realm powerholder relentlessly pursued Qi Tian.

The two quickly got away from sight of the flying sailboat. Qi Tian deliberately slowed down to allow the short Gold Core Realm powerholder to keep up. As soon as they were far enough from the ship, Qi Tian suddenly halted and then, before the short Gold Core Realm powerholder could react, Qi Tian accelerated to maximum speed. In an instant, he was next to the short Gold Core Realm powerholder and jabbed a punch at him.

Qi Tian moved so swiftly that the short Gold Core Realm powerholder was entirely taken aback. By the time Qi Tian was in front of him, he couldn’t muster any reaction.

Boom…

Qi Tian’s punch landed squarely on the short Gold Core powerholder’s chest. This was Qi Tian’s first fight since breaking through to the tenth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Taking the principle of going all out even against a rabbit, Qi Tian exerted his max power and speed. He also pushed the Heavenly Dao Engine to its peak operating state, significantly magnifying the power behind his punch.

The short Gold Core Realm powerholder spat out a mouthful of blood. His bulging eyes gazed at Qi Tian, seemingly asking for an explanation, but blood immediately gushed out from his mouth. His vision darkened, and he was finished.

Qi Tian spread his hands, catching the dead body of the short Gold Core Realm powerholder. He then took the Thousand Miles Mirror from him and darted back in the direction of the flying sailboat.

After a quick clean-up, Qi Tian returned to the flying sailboat with a rather disheveled appearance— looking like he’d been chased by a mad dog for blocks.

Qi Tian had already used the Heavenly Dao Engine to determine that an intense battle was still taking place on the flying sailboat. As the short Gold Core Realm powerholder chased after Qi Tian, the tall Gold Core Realm powerholder began fighting with Wan Xiaolan. The battle, still ongoing, had the tall Gold Core Realm powerholder in the lead. Following this trend, Wan Xiaolan was sure to lose.

Qi Tian went airborne over the ship’s deck, his sudden appearance and ragged look attracted everyone’s attention. However, he didn’t stick around for long. He made a brief appearance before turning to run again.

Qi Tian’s panic-stricken actions were entirely seen by the tall Gold Core Realm powerholder. He grew suspicious of why Qi Tian would run after merely showing his face. Did Qi Tian really possess something valuable? He couldn’t figure out why Qi Tian, having already escaped the short Gold Core Realm powerholder, would return to the flying sailboat?

That question remained unanswered for the moment. One thing was for sure: he must not let Qi Tian get away. He could lose track of Qi Tian forever, reducing his chances of getting hold of Qi Tian’s prized possessions. But the flying sailboat under Wan Xiaolan’s feet offered substantial value. Should Qi Tian escape, it would be a total loss.

If he chased after Qi Tian now, using his robust power, taking down Qi Tian would be a piece of cake. Once he was done with Qi Tian, he could pursue the flying sailboat, forcing Wan Xiaolan to surrender all the Stone Milk Liquid. It was a straightforward plan.

With that in mind, the tall Gold Core Realm powerholder left Wan Xiaolan behind and leapt off the flying sailboat to chase Qi Tian. Moments later, just as he was sure he was about to capture Qi Tian, Qi Tian suddenly veered, repeated his previous trick, and rushed towards the tall Gold Core Realm powerholder, throwing a punch that blasted the tall Gold Core Realm powerholder’s heart, killing him instantly.

Qi Tian scooped up the dead body of the tall Gold Core Realm powerholder and made himself look even more disheveled. He then used the Heavenly Dao Engine’s Spirit Qi detection feature to locate the flying sailboat.

The thick fog could not impede the Heavenly Dao Engine’s detection capabilities, so Qi Tian did not worry about losing his way. Soon, Qi Tian was not far from the sailboat. But he was still outside the scope of the Thousand Miles Mirror. Any further, and he would be spotted by the sailing ship’s lookout.

After a brief halt, Qi Tian flew directly under the flying sailboat, not planning on boarding—instead, he intended to settle the score with the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators who were oblivious to his rescue, but ready to betray him.

Qi Tian had already used the Heavenly Dao Engine’s Spirit Qi detection feature to mark all cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage on the same ship. Even if they found some way to hide in the future, Qi Tian wasn’t worried about locating them. Constantly checking the images returned on the Heavenly Dao Engine, he quickly located several people on the flying sailboat.

Qi Tian hid where no one could see him at the edge of the ship. He seized the opportunity to throw out a rope-like artifact, securing the Foundation Establishment cultivator who had betrayed him first. Before anyone could react, he dragged that cultivator into the thick fog beneath the sailboat.

Qi Tian finished off the ungrateful wretch with a punch, then slipped to the other side of the sailboat as the people above looked over the edge of the ship. Once again, he threw out the rope, dragging another cultivator who had harbored animosity towards him overboard.

At this point, the remaining individuals on the sailboat were in a state of panic. Even Wan Xiaolan, who had just survived a grueling battle and had barely any spiritual power left, was extremely jittery.

If Wan Xiaolan was in full condition, he could suppress all cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage on the ship alone. But as it were, two cultivators had been dragged away, and the rest were increasingly anxious. This group of anxious Foundation Establishing cultivators was like a cluster of exposed gunpowder barrels, ready to explode at any moment. They might even do something irrational, like attack him. Given his current strength, it was difficult to withstand a joint attack from several cultivators.

Wan Xiaolan didn’t dare to stop and regain his True Essence. This journey home was fraught with surprises – who knew if there were more problems waiting for him?
