In but a brief moment, Qi Tian had eliminated Zhu Haijun and quickly set his sights on Liao Chongru beside him. The female cultivator only now registered what was happening, unable to fathom how brutal Qi Tian could be. In such a short span of time, he had beaten Zhu Haijun into a state of oblivion, and now he was targeting her.

Liao Chongru dared not be careless. She quickly rallied and moved to strike first, hoping to attack as a form of defence, intending not to follow Zhu Haijun’s footsteps.

Liao Chongru’s weapon was a set of flying swords. With a pinch of the spirit rune, seven flying swords flews out from her sleeves, all identical in size and style, with no discernible differences.

Liao Chongru’s delicate hands danced, sending out one spirit rune after another. The seven flying swords moved fluidly with the runes, locking onto seven vital points on Qi Tian’s body. If the flying swords struck these points, death was certain.

Qi Tian was expressionless, pushing his Heavenly Dao Engine to its limit, quickly depleting the fuel in the fuel tank. Facing the seven flying swords lunging towards him, he didn’t dodge or duck but waved the Red Hoop Stick in his hand, striking out at each sword.

With a few loud bangs, four of the seven flying swords were knocked flying by the Red Hoop Stick swung by Qi Tian, while the remaining three missed him due to his speed, skimming past his body.

The seven flying swords were the only line of defense between Qi Tian and Liao Chongru. Now that they had failed to stop Qi Tian, there was nothing standing between them.

Seeing the murderous look in Qi Tian’s eyes, Liao Chongru shivered and quickly called out, “Sir Chen, come and save me!”

Liao Chongru had made up her mind that if Chen Yanting came to her rescue, she would seize the opportunity to run away. She was terrified of Qi Tian and just wanted to escape far away. But with Qi Tian’s gaze fixed on her, she had no chance to flee. She knew she wasn’t much stronger than Zhu Haijun, who fell so quickly into Qi Tian’s hands. If Qi Tian should get close, she feared she would meet the same fate as Zhu Haijun.

“Alright, Sir Liao, I’ll save you,” shouted the cultivator at the Gold Core Realm Third Level, Chen Yanting. Just as Liao Chongru was about to seize the opportunity to escape, he pivoted and flew towards Red Sand City. “Hold on, I’m going to get reinforcements for you!”

Chen Yanting was not a fool. He had no close ties with Liao Chongru, so why should he simply trust her? At this time, saving himself was the most important thing.

Once Chen Yanting left, Liao Chongru was left alone to face Qi Tian, and she felt a chill down her spine. Three of them together couldn’t handle Qi Tian; she could certainly not handle him alone.

Seeing Qi Tian’s Red Hoop Stick about to strike, Liao Chongru, in desperation, blurted out, “Qi Tian, I surrender! Please don’t kill me.”

Qi Tian said, “Don’t play tricks with me at this moment.”

“I wouldn’t dare,” Liao Chongru hurriedly said.

Qi Tian said, “If you truly wish to surrender, then, open up your spirit. Allow me to imprint the Slave Mark in your Sea of Consciousness.”

Although Liao Chongru was extremely unwilling, in comparison to death, she wanted to live instead. She recognized that Qi Tian wasn’t in the mood to negotiate with her. Otherwise, she should be bargaining for her own rights at this moment. Now, all she could do was to open her spirit and let Qi Tian imprint his Slave Mark. As for whether the conditions were harsh, it would entirely depend on Qi Tian’s will.

Qi Tian didn’t create the Slave Mark on the spot but immediately imprinted a previously prepared mark onto Liao Chongru’s Sea of Consciousness. These Slave Marks were mass produced before, identical to the ones he’d imprinted onto Gao Jinmei and the others. These required only a hundred years of servitude and could be removed automatically after that.

Once the Slave Mark was imprinted, less than a minute had passed. Qi Tian pointed in Prince Zhao’s direction, and commanded, “Now you go assist Prince Zhao and hold off that Gold Core Stage 4th Level fellow.”

Much as she resisted facing Zhao Haiying, Liao Chongru had to comply and act on Qi Tian’s orders.

Seeing Liao Chongru rushing to assist Prince Zhao, Qi Tian breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his attention to the other cultivator at the Gold Core Stage 4th Level on the field. In this one battle, he had eliminated over ten cultivators at the Gold Core Realm, the strongest of whom were three at Gold Core Stage 4th Level. One attacked Prince Zhao, one went after Gao Jinmei, and the last was acting as a backstop.

A backstop, in many ways, was akin to being a substitute. Should any point in the battlefield turn unfavorable, he would have to rush forward and assist. However, this cultivator at the Gold Core Stage 4th Level, Cui Yifan, had not been fulfilling his duties of backstop.

The role of a backstop typically came with the least credit. If he had been a cultivator at the First Level of the Gold Core Realm and drew this assignment, he might bite the bullet and accept it. But he was one of the top three strongest Gold Core Realm cultivators in the group. There was no reason why the other two got to gain major credit, and he was left to play a shrimp’s role as a backstop.

Cui Yifan was extremely disgruntled. He spent most of his time as a backstop focused on how to gain credit. His main focus was on Prince Zhao – the most valuable target.
