Chapter 979: Chapter 0585: Kidnapping in the Street 2_2 Chapter 979: Chapter 0585: Kidnapping in the Street 2_2 Qi Tian was now using a Wolf Teeth Knife that, although not the original, was a product he restored from others’ used knives. In terms of power, it was no less threatening than any other Wolf Teeth Knife; one slip, and it could claim your life.

Those Gold Core Realm experts were also very familiar with the Wolf Teeth Knife.

In the Imperial Family Secret Territory, it was well known that the Wolf Teeth Knife was incredibly powerful, and everyone wanted to have a few on hand. However, only a very few truly possessed them and could carry them around—most of these knives were concentrated in the hands of the royal family, either belonging to its members or trusted external personnel serving the royal family, yet lacking the qualifications to own a Wolf Teeth Knife.

Seeing the Wolf Teeth Knife charging straight towards them, these Gold Core experts all broke out in cold sweat, their souls nearly departing their bodies with fear.

At this moment, the thought of capturing Qi Tian was the furthest thing from their minds, as their entire focus shifted to how to save their own lives.

They stopped the charge towards Qi Tian, forcefully halted their own movements, and began to run in the opposite direction of the Wolf Teeth Knife, desperate to avoid even a scratch from it.

The biggest threats of the Wolf Teeth Knife were its speed and sharpness. The speed, in particular, made these Gold Core Realm experts dread it the most. The knives were so fast that they left almost no time for reaction. A moment’s hesitation, and the Wolf Teeth Knife would strike, piercing a hole through their bodies.

If the speed of the Wolf Teeth Knife could be just a bit slower, giving them time to react, then the threat wouldn’t be so great. They wouldn’t have been so fearful and restricted in their movements.

On the other side, Su Jinghan’s greatest worry was that while he would be occupied with Li Mijia, Qi Tian might get captured, which would make all his efforts in vain. Seeing Qi Tian pull out so many Wolf Teeth Knives and drive away those Gold Core Realm experts who tried to capture him, Su Jinghan was overjoyed.

While controlling the Fire Crow to fight with Li Mijia, he shouted, “Qi Tian, hurry up! Don’t linger here, rush towards Jianwu Street! Once you reach Jianwu Street, head straight for Jianwu Palace, there will be someone to meet you there.”

At this time, people in Jianwu Palace had already heard the commotion, but for unknown reasons, no one from Jianwu Palace had come to assist. Not only were they not sending support, but they hadn’t even sent a scout. Perhaps Jianwu Palace had faith in Su Jinghan’s strength, or perhaps it was for another reason.

Qi Tian did not dare hesitate. After using the Wolf Teeth Knives to fend off those Gold Core Realm experts, he didn’t need a reminder from Su Jinghan and ran towards Jianwu Street with all his might, faster than a rabbit.

In the blink of an eye, Qi Tian reached the end of the street, seeing that one more step would take him onto Jianwu Street.

Li Mijia had thought that inviting Qi Tian to Huoyang Palace was a sure thing, but was met with unexpected complications. First, Su Jinghan, wielding a Half-step Nascent Soul level weapon, fought desperately against him. Then Qi Tian surprised him by producing so many Wolf Teeth Knives, forcing back all his subordinates. With these unforeseen developments piling up, Li Mijia was anxious that he would fail the task given by the Huoyang Emperor, and he was equally fearful of the Emperor’s punishment, just as Su Jinghan dreaded Emperor Jianwu’s.

With a ferocious expression, Li Mijia was at this point heedless of everything else. He countered the raven manipulated by Su Jinghan with his weapon, and to help his weapon last a bit longer, he spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood onto it. Instantly, his weapon shone brightly and its power surged, stopping the Fire Crow’s advance.

Li Mijia turned and pounced towards Qi Tian, his figure as fast as a specter, even quicker than Qi Tian. His movement technique was far more sophisticated than Qi Tian’s, and his cultivation realm was also much higher. Moreover, Qi Tian was not currently using the acceleration feature of the Heavenly Dao Engine but was relying solely on his own strength to run.

Qi Tian acted this way out of necessity, as there were far too many formidable beings on the streets. A single carelessness could reveal his secrets, and the consequences of such exposure would be far worse than being taken to the Huoyang Palace by force. Thus, he had to hide it as long as possible and couldn’t reveal it until the last moment.

Seeing that Li Mijia was about to pounce on him, Qi Tian gritted his teeth and touched the Wuhang Ring, producing a Gold Core Thunder Talisman in his hand. When he was in Wanjie City, he had purchased quite a few Gold Core Thunder Talismans at the Eight Pill Alliance, but among these Gold Core Thunder Talismans, the number that could truly threaten Li Mijia was very few, merely a handful. Each time one was used, there would be one less. However, at this moment, it seemed like there was no choice but to use one.

But just as Qi Tian was channeling his True Essence into the Gold Core Thunder Talisman, a figure approached, seemingly slow but actually fast, and declared loudly, “The Prince commands everyone to stop.”

In Eastern Capital City, six Princes resided. Normally, none would obey the others, and no one could command another. Generally, each Prince would have stable control over people of their own lineage, but they had very limited control over those who belonged to other Princes. They could issue orders for small matters, but for significant issues, they were virtually unable to mobilize anyone.

It was exactly like that at this moment; the person who had suddenly rushed over commanded everyone to stop, but the bloodthirsty crowd didn’t listen to a word he said.

However, the figure snorted coldly and said, “Your guts have really grown fat, to dare disobey the words of my Prince. Fine, very well, then don’t blame me for being ruthless. From now on, whoever doesn’t stop, I’ll strike. I won’t answer for their death. Don’t blame me.”

The words of that man were chilling to the bone, making people shudder uncontrollably upon hearing them.

Among them, Qi Tian reacted the quickest. As soon as the emerging figure made his threatening statement, he immediately stopped, without a moment’s hesitation.

Qi Tian acted this way because he recognized who the man was.

This was no ordinary man. Just a few days before, Qi Tian had witnessed his formidable abilities; even Wang Fengna, the deputy leader of the Eight Pill Alliance and at the peak of the Gold Core Realm Seventh Level, had suffered a great loss at his hand. Qi Tian didn’t believe he was more powerful than Wang Fengna.

Although Qi Tian had stopped, Li Mijia did not; he continued to hurtle towards Qi Tian at extreme speed, intending to capture Qi Tian before the others could react and thereby carry out the task assigned by the Huoyang Emperor.

Seeing that Li Mijia had disregarded his command, the newcomer snorted coldly, his face darkened, and launched a palm strike at Li Mijia from midair. A giant hand appeared out of the void, carrying with it the power of destruction, and ferociously struck down towards Li Mijia.

Li Mijia was unable to stop his momentum and collided head-on with the giant palm.

The man’s seemingly casual palm strike bore immense power; even with half-step Nascent Soul level protective gear, Li Mijia was sent flying after the collision with the palm imprint in the air.

Thanks to the protection of his half-step Nascent Soul level gear, Li Mijia wasn’t injured. But still, he rolled several times on the ground, in an extremely sorry state.

Li Mijia got up from the ground, glaring at the man who had slapped him away, and huffed, “Commander Yang, what exactly are you trying to do?”

The newcomer was indeed Yang Yongqi, the Commander of the Guards of Chaoyang Palace. He saw Li Mijia’s rage but didn’t care in the least and said indifferently, “The Prince has commanded that you all cease fighting. On the main street, you’re acting like a pack of feral dogs fighting over a bone. Where is the dignity in that? Don’t let others laugh at you.”
