Heavenly Dao Engine
Chapter 755 - 755 0473 You Wish_2

Chapter 755: Chapter 0473: You Wish_2 Chapter 755: Chapter 0473: You Wish_2 Qi Tian’s expression changed slightly but his speed remained unaffected. After circumventing the long spear, he had already shortened the distance between him and Huang Zixing to a manageable range. The Red Hoop Stick in his hands swept out; the domineering power traveled through the stick, as if space itself would be shattered by the impact.

Huang Zixing was horrified. He had not expected Qi Tian’s power to be so formidable, far exceeding his imagination. He had no time to think, let alone retract his spear to block Qi Tian. He could only activate his body techniques, trying to evade. At the same time, he activated all his protective talismans and soft armor, hoping to withstand Qi Tian’s attack and buy him some time. He didn’t need much, just one or two seconds would be enough for him to gain the upper hand on Qi Tian. By then, the attacks of both Meng Jianhao and Wu Shenglian should arrive. At that time, with the combined power of the three, they would definitely capture Qi Tian.

Everything that Huang Zixing could think of, Qi Tian would certainly anticipate. He would not give Huang Zixing any chance. He adjusted the ratio of speed and strength amplification of the Heavenly Dao Engine in an instant, directly boosting his power significantly. Under the augmentation of the Heavenly Dao Engine, the already mighty Red Hoop Stick became like a boulder rolling down a hill – the longer it lasted, the more unstoppable it was.

Huang Zixing was wealthy but even the finest protective talismans and soft armor he possessed were not enough. They could usually withstand the attacks of a cultivator at the Gold Core Stage 4th Level with no problem. Unfortunately, this time he had encountered Qi Tian, who was outclassing everyone else.

With this strike, it was as if Qi Tian was hitting a thick piece of cardboard with a stick. While there was some resistance, it was nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot – laughably insignificant.

Huang Zixing’s protective talismans shattered, the runes activated by his soft armor also broke one by one. In an instant, the Red Hoop Stick broke through all the barriers and landed a heavy blow on Huang Zixing’s body.

Huang Zixing spurted out a mouthful of blood. More than half of the ribs on his left chest were broken, and some fragments had pierced his heart and lungs. This serious injury caused Huang Zixing’s combat power to plummet, losing at least seventy percent of it.

Qi Tian did not show any mercy to Huang Zixing. He hadn’t forgotten Meng Jianhao and Wu Shenglian were hot on his tail. He lunged forward, grabbed the wounded Huang Zixing, swung around, and threw Huang Zixing into the air. With perfect precision, Huang Zixing slammed into the Dark Light. Immediately, Huang Zixing let out a shriek, as numerous ghost-like creatures flew out from the Dark Light. Their faces were red and their fangs sharp, they were only palm-sized, but the scent of fresh blood on Huang Zixing was like a banquet for these famished monsters, they began to bite and gnaw at him.

Meng Jianhao hadn’t expected Qi Tian to employ such a maneuver. He quickly raised his staff, preparing to command the restless Yin Ghosts to let go of Huang Zixing, since Qi Tian was their real target.

But Meng Jianhao forgot that his staff was just a tool, using secret spells to communicate with the Yin Ghost Realm. While he could control the Yin Ghosts in theory, in reality, he could only borrow their services. Whether the loaned Yin Ghosts would obey him was another matter. Especially now that Huang Zixing was severely injured and bled profusely. To these Yin Ghosts, Huang Zixing, a cultivator at the Gold Core Realm Third Level, was the perfect blood meal. Even if Meng Jianhao used secret spells to command them, and even if they couldn’t resist Meng Jianhao’s ultimate command, they could still suck more blood from Huang Zixing before accepting Meng Jianhao’s orders.

Therefore, these greedy Yin Ghosts delayed for a while, sucking more blood from Huang Zixing before reluctantly letting him go.

The delay of the Yin Ghosts may have only been a matter of seconds, but for Qi Tian, this bit of time was enough for him to take action. Qi Tian had already pounced at Wu Shenglian like a tiger rushing out of a cage.

Wu Shenglian had not expected Huang Zixing, who had boasted immensely, to falter so quickly against Qi Tian. She even more so hadn’t expected Qi Tian’s reaction to be so swift, using Huang Zixing as a cannonball to counter Meng Jianhao’s technique. Everything happened too fast for her, she hadn’t even fully extended her umbrella. Qi Tian had not only taken down one of them, but he was also now lunging at her.

Wu Shenglian was scared of being punished by Qi Tian. She was already uneasy around him, and now, she found out that Qi Tian was not going to attack Meng Jianhao, but had instead charged at her. She immediately turned and ran. At this time, self-preservation was her top priority, the rest was nonsense.

How could Qi Tian let Wu Shenglian escape just like that? Although she didn’t pose much of a threat to him, if Wu Shenglian disturbed him when he was fighting Meng Jianhao, it would still be annoying to him.

Qi Tian switched the Heavenly Dao Engine to full speed mode and chased after Wu Shenglian with might and main.

Wu Shenglian was terrified. She wasn’t sure whether Qi Tian would let her go this time, she shouted while running, “Qi Tian, you should pursue the actual culprit. Go after Meng Jianhao, not me.”

Qi Tian sneered, “Don’t worry, none of you will escape. I’ll deal with you first, then her.”

Wu Shenglian really didn’t want to fight one-on-one with Qi Tian again. Even if Qi Tian attacked her first, Meng Jianhao would definitely come after him for revenge. She didn’t want to die or be seriously injured at Qi Tian’s hands. She was not willing to become a stepping stone for Meng Jianhao. Helping him as long as she had the upper hand was tolerable, but was now the right time to offer help? A small misstep could lead to death and her life was too precious to sacrifice for Meng Jianhao.

“Qi Tian, as long as you stop chasing me, I’m willing to withdraw from the fight right now,” Wu Shenglian laid out her conditions.

Qi Tian snorted coldly, “Just withdraw from the fight? You wish! If you want me to let you go, not only do you need to withdraw from the fight, but also hand over your Parasol as collateral. Maybe I’ll be in a good mood when the battle is over, and I might give it back.”

Wu Shenglian, chased by Qi Tian like a fleeing rabbit, dared not haggle. Without any hesitation, she took out her parasol and tossed it towards Qi Tian without even looking back.

Qi Tian effortlessly caught it. Without even inspecting it, he was sure that Wu Shenglian hadn’t deceived him and had indeed given him her beloved parasol.

Qi Tian casually pocketed the parasol and stopped chasing Wu Shenglian. He turned his body to face Meng Jianhao.

At this time, Meng Jianhao finally managed to get the Yin Ghosts back in line, concealing them again within the Dark Light. Though as they had already been exposed once, hiding again had lost its element of surprise. Compelling the Yin Ghosts to remain constantly exposed was no solution as they continuously needed the nourishment of dark energy. The Yin Ghosts could stray from the Dark Light for a bit, but any substantial length of time makes them irritable and disobedient. If their exposure dragged on for too long, they would start to die. Lending so many Yin Ghosts from the Yin Ghost Realm would then be impossible for Meng Jianhao. After all, borrowing troops was not as simple as bargaining. It required a lot of cultivation resources, and he would not be able to assemble a second batch.
