Chapter 831: Chapter 0511: Wolf Teeth Knife_2 Chapter 831: Chapter 0511: Wolf Teeth Knife_2 The runes on the shield-shaped magical artifact flickered, with spirit force showing a violent and chaotic state. Zhao Haiying silently cursed his bad luck; just as he was about to control his defensive magical artifact, boosting its defense, there was a loud boom, and his defensive magical artifact completely shattered, leaving no chance for him to react.
Before Zhao Haiying could catch his breath, he saw that on that mountain peak, lights flickered again, but this time it wasn’t just one spot—three spots lit up simultaneously.
Zhao Haiying, having just clashed with these lights, knew their ferocity. Not daring to go head-to-head with them again, he shouted, “Master, Liao Chongru, dodge quickly!” while driving his flying sword at top speed to evade.
But the speed of the lights was simply too fast, and they seemed to have a locking feature. Though Liao Chongru had reacted and summoned her defensive magical artifact, her response was a fraction too slow. Before she could maximize the power of her defensive magical artifact, a light flew toward her, smashing the artifact into pieces. With its speed only slightly diminished, it struck Liao Chongru, piercing through her shoulder blade. Blood spurted as she wobbled in the air and tumbled headlong from her flying sword. They were over a hundred meters in the air—a height from which a fall to the ground would mean certain death or severe injury for Liao Chongru.
As Liao Chongru was hit by the light, two more beams each targeted Qi Tian and Zhao Haiying.
Zhao Haiying was in a particularly sorry state. After being ambushed by the first beam of light, his defensive magical artifact had been damaged. Though he still had other artifacts, they were not very powerful. If a stronger artifact couldn’t hold up, the weaker ones stood no chance. Instead of using another defensive artifact, he urged his flying sword, desperately changing direction, hoping to shake off the pursuing light.
However, the light seemed to have eyes, clingingly following Zhao Haiying no matter how he altered his course. Despite pushing his flying sword to ultimate speed, the distance between him and the light was rapidly closing. If he couldn’t come up with a solution, he would likely not escape and would be struck by the light.
Qi Tian was also targeted by a light. Among the three that had risen at the same time, one was aimed at him. Qi Tian had always kept the Heavenly Dao Engine active. He had actually detected the first light with the engine, but the light’s speed was so fast that he didn’t have time to react before it shot towards Zhao Haiying. It was lucky Zhao Haiying was quick to react and block it, otherwise, the consequences would’ve been unpredictable.
With the perception capability of the Heavenly Dao Engine on Spirit Qi, Qi Tian had clearly seen what this approaching light actually was. It looked like a treasure fashioned from a fang of some Spirit Beast, about the size of a sniper rifle bullet, pure white, and engraved with numerous runes. Qi Tian hadn’t seen such a treasure before, but he had read about something similar in the texts left by Master Ming Ren. This kind of treasure was actually a one-time use magical device, aiming for extreme speed and lethality. Furthermore, its usage threshold was incredibly low, allowing even cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage to wield it. One consolation was that this device was quite difficult to make, with a high threshold for creation. Otherwise, if such devices became common in the Cultivation World, the consequences would be severe.
Now that he knew what it was, it was much easier for Qi Tian to deal with it. Of course, that was relative to Qi Tian. Anyone else wouldn’t dare be so assured in their judgment.
Qi Tian and Zhao Haiying were different; he didn’t dodge, nor was he like Liao Chongru who, before she could even react, was struck by the Wolf Teeth Knife. With a wave of his hand, several Transporting Whirlwinds shot out from his palm, directly heading toward the incoming Wolf Teeth Knife.
The Wolf Teeth Knife was fast, but the Transporting Whirlwinds were even faster. In the blink of an eye, they entwined around the knife. Spinning wildly like a spider spinning its web, they wrapped around the Wolf Teeth Knife in just a second or two. The notorious Wolf Teeth Knife thus lost its threat to Qi Tian, whose palm now bore a black hole that sent the knife and the tangled whirlwinds into the storage chamber of the Heavenly Dao Engine.
Just as Qi Tian was about to go to Liao Chongru’s rescue, three beams of light flashed again on the mountain peak, and three more Wolf Teeth Knives flew out. This time, all three were targeting Qi Tian alone.
Qi Tian snorted coldly. These speed-based magical artifacts didn’t have much effect on him, especially since the individual Wolf Teeth Knives were so small, and with no one controlling them, the Transporting Whirlwind of the Heavenly Dao Engine was the perfect countermeasure against such artifacts.
Qi Tian waved his hand again, and several more Transporting Whirlwinds flew out from his palm. One or two whirlwinds entwined each knife before they could hit him, reducing their speed and threat until it was negligible. Afterwards, they too were stored in the Heavenly Dao Engine’s storage chamber, to be used as fuel or whatever else, depending on their luck.
After dealing with these three Wolf Teeth Knives, no more lights flickered on the mountain peak. Such a Wolf Teeth Knife was quite valuable; perhaps not enough to exchange for a Howling Spirit Sword, but for a Gold Core Thunder Talisman, definitely. In total, seven knives had appeared here, far exceeding the expected number. If there had been any more, it would have been truly against the heavenly order.
Qi Tian gazed deeply towards the direction of the mountain peak. He knew that if he pursued at full speed right now, he might have a chance to catch the person who launched the knives. However, seeing Liao Chongru lying on the ground, her condition unknown, and Zhao Haiying being pursued by a knife, looking utterly embarrassed, he knew he couldn’t leave. He first flicked his hand, releasing several Transporting Whirlwinds towards the Wolf Teeth Knife chasing Zhao Haiying. Then, he no longer concerned himself with that knife, for the whirlwinds were enough to ensure Zhao Haiying’s safety.
Qi Tian flew directly towards Liao Chongru. She had fallen from a height of over a hundred meters straight down to the ground, and Qi Tian was genuinely concerned for her safety. If Liao Chongru really did die here, she would probably be the most aggrieved cultivator to die at the Gold Core Realm.
Soon, Qi Tian reached Liao Chongru’s side. Fortunately, her life force was strong. As she fell from the sky, she broke several branches which, along with the various defense talismans and robes she wore, mitigated the impact. Thus, when she hit the ground, she only broke a few bones. Despite the severe injuries, there was no immediate threat to her life.
Qi Tian quickly took out some healing pills and fed them to Liao Chongru. The pills he had bought for a hefty price in Wanjie City were extremely effective. Upon ingestion, Liao Chongru’s broken bones regenerated and reconnected, but since the wounds had only just healed, she could not withstand much external force. That meant her combat capabilities were significantly reduced for the time being, and Qi Tian couldn’t count on her help, at least not right away.
Liao Chongru felt a mixture of embarrassment, guilt, and gratitude. She had always considered herself highly skilled. Even though she had been captured by Qi Tian before, and her cultivation level and strength were not as high as Zhao Haiying’s, she had always prided herself on being one of the top three among Qi Tian’s subordinates at the Gold Core Realm.
