With a cold snort, Su Jinghan had come alone this time without bringing any other helpers in order not to attract attention and avoid unnecessary complications. However, he didn’t expect to be targeted; when Huoyang Palace sent so many people over at once, it was almost certain they already knew of Qi Tian’s miraculous abilities and intended to kidnap Qi Tian to serve Huoyang Palace — a scenario Su Jinghan could not accept. If he failed to complete Emperor Jianwu’s order, Emperor Jianwu would surely not let him off lightly.
Moreover, within the Imperial Family Secret Territory, the competition between the Princes was extremely fierce, all scheming to snatch various cultivation resources and talents for their own use. If Qi Tian were to be taken by Huoyang Palace, it would greatly strengthen Huoyang Palace’s power while correspondingly weakening Jianwu Palace. In the long run, Jianwu Palace’s decline would be imminent, possibly leading to its removal from the Secret Territory, an outcome with no benefits for him.
No matter what, Su Jinghan could not tolerate such a situation developing. As a decisive man, he knew from Li Mijia’s thorough preparation that there was no room for the slightest concession. Any leniency would only embolden Li Mijia and his men to seize Qi Tian; by then, it would be too late for regrets, and even summoning troops from Jianwu Palace would be futile.
In an instant, Su Jinghan made his decision. Gritting his teeth, he touched his Storage Bag, and the dust whisk in his hand disappeared, replaced by a folding fan. His eyes coldly fixed on Li Mijia, he said, “Old Li, you’re forcing my hand.”
Li Mijia’s expression turned extremely cautious. As Su Jinghan’s old rival, he was very familiar with Su Jinghan and knew that the seemingly ordinary folding fan was actually one of Su Jinghan’s most powerful assets — a Half-step Nascent Soul level weapon. Once Su Jinghan took it out, it meant he was ready to fight to the death.
As Chief Guard to Huoyang Emperor, Li Mijia also carried Half-step Nascent Soul level weapons. However, he knew that if he drew a weapon of that level to face Su Jinghan head-on at this moment, it would be a fight to the death, an outcome he did not wish to see.
Normally, competition between the Princes was fierce, but these struggles were carried out in secret, maintaining a facade of peace. Even their fights were kept under wraps, not to be laughed at by outsiders.
Nonetheless, Li Mijia realized that if he didn’t bring out his Half-step Nascent Soul level weapon now, he would certainly not withstand Su Jinghan’s assault and could easily lose his life in the process.
“Eunuch Su, please, don’t be rash. Let’s talk this through,” Li Mijia said as he drew his weapon.
“There’s nothing to talk about. Die!” Su Jinghan spoke through gritted teeth. Then he opened the folding fan in his hand, revealing a fiery red crow on the surface, surrounded by flames that exuded a terrifying aura.
Su Jinghan poured his entire True Essence into the folding fan without reservation. Instantly, flames surged from the fan, and the Fire Crow let out a piercing shriek as it burst forth, flying in front of Su Jinghan.
Pointing at Li Mijia with a chilling voice, Su Jinghan commanded, “Kill.”
Watching the Fire Crow dive towards him without hesitation, Li Mijia’s hairs stood on end, and he responded sharply, “Lack of benevolence on your part excuses my lack of righteousness. Today, I’ll take you on!”
While Su Jinghan and Li Mijia engaged in a desperate battle, the Gold Core Realm experts who had bypassed Su Jinghan to pounce on Qi Tian were now very close. Both sides were within arm’s reach, and with a simple extension of their hands, they could capture Qi Tian.
At this moment, Qi Tian was in a dire crisis. Any hint of hesitation would immediately result in his capture.
Qi Tian certainly did not want to become a pawn in someone else’s game, nor did he want to fall into the hands of Huoyang Emperor. The pressure from Emperor Jianwu was already immense, but at least with Zhao Shibo and Zhao Ninglu around, he felt some sense of safety. However, falling into Huoyang Emperor’s clutches would leave him with no leeway to resist, doomed only to be slaughtered at will.
Faced with several Gold Core Realm experts charging at him, Qi Tian did not hesitate, nor did he dare to hesitate. With a wave of his hand, he produced several Wolf Teeth Knives stored within his Wuhang Ring. In a flash of cold light in his gaze, the knives were thrown simultaneously, each precisely targetting a Gold Core Realm expert, ensuring every individual received at least one, with the unlucky even receiving two.
These Wolf Teeth Knives were amassed by Qi Tian over a period of time. He had used them once before in the desert and had conserved them since. He refrained from using them precisely to keep them for a critical moment like this.
The power of the Wolf Teeth Knives was something Qi Tian had experienced firsthand, witnessed on more than one occasion. Not just him, even Wang Fengna, the vice-leader of the Eight Pill Alliance, and Zhao Haiying of the Gold Core Stage Fifth Level had suffered greatly under the assault of the knives.
