Outside of his unsightly appearance, the main issue was the Gold Core Thunder Talisman that Qi Tian had thrown had severely tricked Zhao Haiying. He was hit consecutively by seven or eight attacks equal to a full-powered strike from a fourth level Gold Core Realm cultivator. Not only did his armor and protective talismans get smashed and shattered, thunderous energy had heavily damaged his body, leading to numerous injuries in his meridians. Even his Dantian had been invaded, and a wisp of thunderous energy had entered his Qi Sea, posing an extremely serious threat to his Gold Core.

As a result, Zhao Haiying’s strength had greatly declined. In an instant, Zhao Haiying estimated that his strength had been reduced by at least thirty percent. This was a grave loss as he no longer had the strength of a fifth level Gold Core Realm cultivator. Furthermore, because of the existence of that wisp of thunderous energy in his Dantian, he wasn’t even sure if he could muster the strength of a third level Gold Core Realm cultivator.

With Zhao Haiying’s strength declining, Qi Tian was not going to be lenient. He consumed a Bloodburst Pill and used a Gold Core Thunder Talisman, paying a heavy price, just for this moment. He pushed his speed to the maximum, swung his Red Hoop Stick and aimed a strike towards Zhao Haiying’s head.

Zhao Haiying quickly moved to dodge. Relying on his old skills, he could have confidently dodged this strike. However, he had forgotten, he was no longer at his peak state and his body couldn’t keep up with his thoughts, resulting in him not fully dodge the attack.

Boom! Qi Tian’s Red Hoop Stick heavily struck Zhao Haiying’s shoulder. With the sound of a crack, Zhao Haiying’s shoulder blade was completely shattered.

With a miserable scream, Zhao Haiying did not dare to linger any longer. While swallowing a medicinal pill, he turned around and ran away.

Qi Tian had finally gained an advantage and was not going to let Zhao Haiying escape so easily. With one stride, covering dozens of feet in distance, he caught up to Zhao Haiying and struck him with his stick again. This time, Zhao Haiying failed to dodge and was hit squarely on his back, sending him sprawling onto the ground.

After struggling a bit, Zhao Haiying, lay motionless on the ground.

Qi Tian pulled out a rope specifically made to bind Gold Core Realm experts. He quickly secured Zhao Haiying and, just to be safe, summoned Hu Niu from her beast ring to stand guard over Zhao Haiying.

Hu Niu lowered her head, chomped onto the rope tied around Zhao Haiying, lifted him, and began dragging him towards the direction of the Northern Expedition Army. Not long after, she arrived at the Northern Expedition Army’s camp where numerous civilian and military officials recognized Hu Niu. Marquis Ma immediately commanded a group of people to come over and surround Hu Niu for her protection. Hu Niu let go of Zhao Haiying and sat down, resting her rear on Zhao Haiying’s back.

Zhao Haiying, severely injured, had been defeated by Qi Tian and now, to add insult to injury, was being humiliated by a beast. He felt a surge of anger and darkness descended upon his vision as he passed out.

Qi Tian didn’t have much time left. He pushed his speed to its limits, rushing towards the other Gold Core Realm experts. He wanted to eliminate as many Gold Core Realm experts as he could before the effects of the Bloodburst Pill wore off.

Actually, at this moment, Qi Tian didn’t even need to move. He had previously injured Zhu Haijun, a third-level Gold Core Realm expert; had taken Liao Chongru of the same realm as his servant; scared off Chen Yanting who was also at the third level; outright destroyed the head of Cui Yifan, a fourth-level realm expert, frightening Sun Xiang, another fourth-level cultivator, into submission; and most impressively, he caught Zhao Haiying, who was at the fifth level of Gold Core Realm. Qi Tian’s ferocity terrified all the other Gold Core Realm experts present. Even though they knew he had consumed a pill to attain this level of strength, they didn’t dare to fight qi Tian while the effects of the medication still lingered, as he seemed invincible during this time. Even once the effects wore off and Qi Tian regained his normal strength, would anyone dare to fight Sun Xiang who now stood as the second strongest after Qi Tian?

Those who had cultivated to the Gold Core Realm were all clever and wouldn’t do something rash at this time. As Qi Tian began binding Zhao Haiying with a rope, some Gold Core Realm experts began to look for opportunities to escape. By the time Qi Tian handed Zhao Haiying over to Hu Niu, four or five Gold Core Realm experts had already left the battlefield, while several others also reacted and prepared to flee.

Qi Tian couldn’t possibly chase all the Gold Core Realm experts by himself. He had to choose his targets wisely. His selected target was a third-level Gold Core Realm cultivator who may have been too self-confident, or too unwilling to give up the success within his grasp. When Qi Tian targeted him, he was still chasing and attacking Wang Youjun.

Wang Youjun was a warrior that Qi Tian had subdued in Chi Di. At the time of subjugation, Qi Tian did not demand Wang Youjun to hand over the various treasures he carried. As a result, he found himself under the attack of two Gold Core Realm experts during the current battle. One of them was a third-level cultivator. Wang Youjun had used all his means to tie them down and to save his own life. Consequently, one of his treasures attracted the attention of Qian Menchao of the third level of Gold Core Realm who demanded it. Obviously it was impossible for Wang Youjun to give up his life-saving means. This angered Qian Menchao, resulting in him persistently targeting Wang Youjun.
