Having managed to lure Zhong Weixi over and seizing the opportunity to give him a fierce stab, how could Qi Tian let Zhong Weixi escape easily? He still hoped to extract some information from Zhong Weixi.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qi Tian waved his hand and released the crane bronze statue. He placed a small piece of top-grade spirit stone shard on the crane bronze statue, then jumped onto its back. Instantly, the crane bronze statue, carrying him, chased after Zhong Weixi, who had already fled four to five hundred meters away.

Powered by the raging surge of Spirit Qi from the top-grade spirit stone, the crane bronze statue’s speed reached its limit. It didn’t take long before he spotted the figure of Zhong Weixi.

“Zhong Weixi, stop running, you can’t escape.”

Zhong Weixi looked back at Qi Tian with resentment in his heart. The Wolf Teeth Knife was still stuck in his right chest, and he dared not even pull it out. Once he did, he wouldn’t be able to move for a while. But if he didn’t, the knife, penetrating deep into his body, would block his meridians; his Spirit Force wouldn’t be able to circulate smoothly. Even if he used secret techniques, he couldn’t achieve maximum speed.

As a powerhouse at the peak of the Gold Core Realm Fifth Level, Zhong Weixi wouldn’t surrender without a fight. Gritting his teeth, he took out a jade talisman and hurled it behind him. Being an external Gold Core member of the Eight Pill Alliance, he wasn’t short of these kinds of single-use items. He possessed a considerable number of talismans, each with formidable power, and they didn’t require much Spirit Force to activate. Even severely wounded, he could use them with ease. However, he didn’t release many jade talismans at once, partly because it was hard to control the attack direction with too many at once, and partly because he didn’t feel the need to waste so many on a petty thief like Qi Tian. A single powerful talisman was enough.

Qi Tian had been on guard for such a move. If he could purchase powerful Gold Core Thunder Talismans from the Eight Pill Alliance, there was no reason Zhong Weixi wouldn’t have them. Moreover, in chasing Zhong Weixi this time and to prevent accidents, he had kept the Heavenly Dao Engine activated at all times. Using the Heavenly Dao Engine’s ability to sense Spirit Qi, he continually scanned his surroundings for safety.

Seeing Zhong Weixi, as expected, use a talisman, Qi Tian felt a momentary relief before becoming tense again. According to the image fed back by the Heavenly Dao Engine, Zhong Weixi was indeed serious this time. While he had thrown only one talisman, its power was significant, and unlike the single-function attack talisman Gold Core Thunder Talisman that Qi Tian was very familiar with, it was a different kind he had never seen before. Furthermore, the feedback from the Heavenly Dao Engine assured Qi Tian that the talisman’s attack power was no less than that of the Gold Core Realm Fifth Level.

Such formidable attack power made Qi Tian frown involuntarily. He had just managed to inflict a severe wound on Zhong Weixi and had yet to harvest the spoils of war when Zhong Weixi brought him an attack of Gold Core Realm Fifth Level power. He had to be careful in response. Fortunately, such talismans were single-use, and as long as he could withstand the initial burst, the situation would be easier to handle afterwards.

Qi Tian hurriedly urged the crane bronze statue to speed up. He intended to try and get ahead of the talisman’s explosion, possibly avoiding the Gold Core Realm Fifth Level attack altogether.

But soon, Qi Tian realized that his plan was overly optimistic. Zhong Weixi’s combat experience was incredibly rich; his timing was exceptionally precise. When the talisman exploded, it perfectly enveloped the area directly in front of Qi Tian.

A net interwoven with thunder and fire appeared in the sky, falling over Qi Tian like a fisherman’s net. The coverage was wide, and the speed was swift, leaving no room for Qi Tian to dodge.

A gleam of light flashed in Qi Tian’s eyes as he watched the thunder and fire fill the sky. With a wave of his right hand, multiple Transporting Whirlwinds flew out of his palm and rolled towards the thunder-fire net. The net was exceptionally sturdy, not easily destroyed, but the Heavenly Dao Engine’s Transporting Whirlwinds were not ordinary objects. As the net almost entangled Qi Tian, the whirlwinds tore a gap wide enough for a person to pass through it.

Qi Tian, pushing the crane bronze statue, saw the wings fold in as it carried him through the gap, narrowly escaping the enveloping thunder-fire net.

After escaping from the thunder-fire net, the distance between Qi Tian and Zhong Weixi narrowed significantly. Qi Tian didn’t dare give Zhong Weixi any more chances. He took out a crossbow he had prepared earlier, already loaded with a re-energized Wolf Teeth Knife. Aiming at Zhong Weixi, Qi Tian steadily pulled the crossbow’s trigger.

With a whoosh, the Wolf Teeth Knife soared through the air. Zhong Weixi, however, was prepared and dodged at the last moment, narrowly avoiding the knife’s strike. Qi Tian, anticipating this, took another pre-strung crossbow from his Storage Bag, equipped with another Wolf Teeth Knife. During his time on the Refining God Sect’s island, he had obtained three crossbows designed to launch Wolf Teeth Knives, and for dealing with Zhong Weixi, he utilized them all.

Zhong Weixi had not anticipated a consecutive attack from Qi Tian. Furthermore, being severely injured, both his speed and agility were significantly compromised, and he tragically failed to dodge the second incoming Wolf Teeth Knife.
