"Let's go together! I still have to hurry."
Qin Tian raised his head, a teasing smile playing on his lips.
Upon hearing this, the group of sword-wielders froze in shock.
"So arrogant? Take my sword!"
One person shouted, and countless others echoed in agreement.
Sword Radiance flickered, like a bolt of lightning descending from the Ninth Heaven.
Qin Tian didn't even glance at it; his Golden Battle Blood surged, and his Golden Battle Bones rang out. He then threw a punch, the sound of an explosion resonating in the air.
In an instant, the first figure to charge forward had no time to react and was instantly reduced to a puddle of blood. The Flying Sword circled a few times before falling to the ground like a piece of ordinary iron.
Silence!
An unprecedented silence!
Rustle.
A maple leaf fell.
"I still have to hurry, so come on quickly!"
Qin Tian cradled his head with both hands, a blade of grass inexplicably stuck in his mouth.
"A single punch shattered the Sixth Layer of Meridian Realm expert, unbelievable!"
A strong practitioner at the Fifth Layer of Meridian Realm stood on a Flying Sword, at a loss.
"He is not from the Sixth Layer of Meridian Realm."
Some had already looked around and began to retreat.
"Since you are here, you might as well stay!"
Qin Tian surveyed the area; nearly a hundred cultivators had come.
Most were at the Fifth Layer of Meridian Realm, with a few at the Sixfold Heaven. There were even two individuals at the Seventh Layer of Meridian Opening.
These people had already realized their secret.
Once it leaked out, many in the Xuan Yang Sword Sect would know it was them, making it difficult for them to return.
On the path of cultivation, if one does not kill, one will be killed.
Although Qin Tian despised this way of life, for survival, to become the Supreme Champion, and to fulfill Sister Gong's expectations,
he had to do it!
"After all, he is just one person. If we all attack together, we can definitely take him down!"
Someone mustered their courage, drew their weapon from their back, and transformed it into a streak of light that shot rapidly toward Qin Tian.
Seeing someone gather their courage, the remaining individuals naturally would not hold back.
Today, anyone who hesitates will surely meet a bloody end on the spot. Almost everyone instinctively drew their weapons, charging towards Qin Tian with murderous intent.
"This is how it gets interesting!"
Qin Tian smiled lightly, stepping aside with one foot. His body was engulfed in Golden Battle Blood, and his Golden Battle Bones rang out like a bell.
"Let me test the power of the first martial skill from the Martial God Inheritance—Golden Battle Fist!"
The Martial God Inheritance not only transformed Qin Tian's bones and blood but also granted him his first terrifying martial skill.
Golden Battle Fist!
Without any weapons, Qin Tian relied solely on his hands.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In a series of explosive sounds, three strong practitioners from the Five Heavens who charged forward first were directly annihilated by Qin Tian's thunderous strikes.
They had no chance to resist.
Crack! Crack!
A continuous series of explosions echoed as Qin Tian stood in the center, his fists glowing with gold, obliterating all opponents rushing at him.
Corpses fell at his feet, piling up like a mountain.
A mountain of corpses!
A river of blood!
This was a blood battle from which no one could retreat.
If this group had not come to trouble him, Qin Tian would not have taken the initiative to provoke them.
However, since these people had already discovered his secret,
then not killing them would mean certain death if the information leaked out.
There was no way back.
The countless corpses paved the path ahead of Qin Tian.
He swung his golden fists and charged forward. No expert from the Five Heavens or Sixfold Heaven could withstand even a single blow from him.
"The Path of Cultivation is truly this cruel. If you don't kill them, they will come to kill you. Don't be too upset; such things are inevitable!"
The War God feared that Qin Tian's resolve might waver, so he spoke decisively.
Qin Tian nodded silently. As a young commander, he naturally understood this principle.
If one does not act for oneself, heaven and earth will punish them.
In the blink of an eye, over eighty experts had fallen.
Most of these individuals were experts from the Five Heavens, with only a handful being from the Sixfold Heaven.
When he shattered the last body of a Sixfold Heaven expert, Qin Tian stood on the blood-soaked path, raised his head, and fixed his gaze on a figure in black in the void above.
Seventh Layer of the Meridian Realm!
This was a master who had opened at least seventy-three Meridians, a practitioner of the Seventh Layer of the Meridian Realm.
"It seems you have indeed obtained some kind of Treasure. Hand it over, and I will spare your life!"
The figure in black stood suspended in the void, cautious yet filled with mockery.
The Seventh Layer of the Meridian Realm was another significant threshold beyond the Channeling Realm, where true energy could condense into any object, far more powerful than merely projecting true energy outward.
He had already seen that although Qin Tian's Combat Power far surpassed that of other Sixfold Heaven practitioners, his Cultivation was still only at the Sixth Layer of the Meridian Realm.
In the end, he was not at the Seventh Layer of the Meridian Realm!
Though there was only a single step separating Sixfold Heaven from the Seventh Layer of the Meridian Realm, the gap between them was astonishingly vast.
At this moment, among the remaining dozen or so people in the air, they exchanged glances with one another.
Among them, only one was a master of the Seventh Layer of the Meridian Realm; the rest were either Sixfold Heaven or Five Heavens practitioners.
They had no chance of obtaining the Treasure from these three individuals.
Boom!
Without further ado, their bodies transformed into streaks of light as they instantly surged in different directions.
Trying to escape?
Qin Tian stood firmly on the ground, a smile playing on his lips.
The two remaining experts of the Seventh Layer of the Meridian Realm in the sky exchanged knowing smiles, as if they understood exactly what Qin Tian had done.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A series of crisp explosions echoed through the air, and just a few feet away, more than a dozen figures that had just taken flight were met with an even fiercer attack.
An array?
The dozen figures didn't even have time to cry out before they all turned into corpses, plummeting to the ground below.
The Soul Binding Demon Array!
Qin Tian had already set up this Soul Binding Demon Array in anticipation of the beast's arrival, just in case.
It had indeed proven effective.
"I didn't expect you to have so many tricks up your sleeve!"
The other expert from the Seventh Layer of the Meridian Realm smiled lightly as he landed on the ground.
Seeing this, the Black-Clad Seven Heavens Expert also abandoned his Flying Sword and stood firmly on the earth.
The three of them stood at different angles, their fierce eyes locking onto one another.
Tension filled the air.
A heavy pressure weighed down on each person's shoulders.
They could all sense the overwhelming Killing Intent emanating from the three parties.
"I never wanted to kill! Yet, you forced my hand."
Qin Tian sighed lightly, snapping his fingers.
Under the silent night sky, a series of crisp explosions echoed in everyone's ears.
"Your potential is quite impressive, and with that artifact, you've even made us a bit wary. Unfortunately, you are merely at the Sixfold Heaven level, which puts you worlds apart from us."
Another figure, dressed in purple robes, a master of the Seventh Layer of the Meridian Realm, gently twisted his neck, producing a crisp sound.
"There's no point in talking. Come on!"
Qin Tian smiled lightly, raising his right hand and bending it slightly.
A provocation!
The Black-Clad Seven Heavens Expert seemed to sigh as he removed his outer garment, revealing a tight black suit.
"Before you die, remember my name—Lingxu Daozong, Zhang Wudao."
The Black-Clad Youth pulled out a silver-white spear from behind him.
The tip of the spear trembled, resonating with an ethereal sound.
Qin Tian's gaze was drawn to the spear, his heart filled with shock.
This spear was anything but ordinary.
Could it be condensed from the true energy of the Seventh Layer of the Meridian Realm?
“Ziyang Immortal Sect—Ding Shi.”
Another figure, the Purple-Clad Youth, also straightforwardly pulled out a black long ruler from behind, introducing himself.
“It seems we’re going to fight together!”
Qin Tian flipped his right hand, and purple arcs of electricity flickered as the Purple Lightning Sword appeared in his palm.
“Who exactly are you?”
Ding Shi couldn’t help but ask.
“Xuan Yang Sword Sect, Nameless!”
Qin Tian didn’t like beating around the bush; since they had come this far, he spoke plainly. After all, as long as he killed the two of them, this secret would never get out.
“Sigh!”
The War God in his right eye sighed, feeling somewhat speechless.
“Brother Ding, let’s attack together. Flying Dragon Thirteen Spears!”
The Black-Clad Youth, holding a silver-white spear, called out and suddenly appeared in front of Qin Tian with a swift motion.
A surge of violent true energy violently coalesced on his spear.
Then, silver-white flying dragons began to swirl around him, at least eight in total.
“Human-level martial arts.”
Qin Tian was suddenly taken aback. Above advanced martial arts, there existed an even more powerful tier known as Human Level.
Human Level martial arts could evolve into different martial souls that could participate in battle.
This was something other martial arts simply could not achieve.
"You guessed half right; this is Semi-Human Level, not true Human Level martial arts," the War God said with annoyance.
"Azure Sky Sword Formation!"
With no other choice, Qin Tian activated the Azure Sky Sword Formation.
Sixteen sword shadows suddenly coalesced.
They collided violently with the Semi-Human Level technique, Flying Dragon Thirteen Spears.
In an instant, thirteen sword shadows shattered into pieces.
The Azure Sky Sword Formation was completely obliterated by the Flying Dragon Thirteen Spears.
However, two of the eight silver-white flying dragons created by Flying Dragon Thirteen Spears were also forcefully destroyed.
It was like pulling teeth from a tiger.
"Teng Wang Fist!"
Qin Tian retracted the Purple Lightning Sword and, while vines coalesced behind him, he threw a punch that collided with the six flying dragons.
Bang!
The Teng Wang Fist and the Six Silver Dragons were simultaneously obliterated.
Zhang Wudao, who had just felt a surge of excitement, was now completely stunned.
The Flying Dragon Thirteen Spears was his signature martial art, yet today it was shattered by someone with a lower cultivation level than his own.
In that moment of daze, Qin Tian seized the opportunity.
With a sudden stomp of his foot, he appeared right in front of Zhang Wudao in an instant.
His bones and blood transformed into gold, and an overwhelming aura surged forth, coalescing in his brilliant golden right fist.
The Golden Battle Fist, infused with all of Qin Tian's strength, ruthlessly struck towards Zhang Wudao's chest.
He had been searching for a chance, a moment when Zhang Wudao would let his guard down.
Without this opportunity, he would not stand a chance in a direct confrontation.
This was Qin Tian's only hope for victory, which is why he had used previous moves to draw Zhang Wudao's attention.
Then, he launched his surprise attack!
Swish!
A mouthful of blood erupted as Zhang Wudao's chest was instantly pierced through.
Before he could react, the light in his eyes faded rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, amidst the frantic exchanges between the two, Qin Tian seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, delivering a powerful punch to his opponent.
It all happened in less than three breaths.
By the time Ding Shi rushed in front of Qin Tian, it was already too late.
"Run!"
Without a second thought, he stepped onto his Flying Sword, turning to flee. Qin Tian had nearly exhausted all his spiritual energy and could not keep up.
After a fierce struggle against the formation, Ding Shi, dragging his heavily injured body, vanished into the horizon.
Qin Tian couldn't worry about anything else; he sat cross-legged on the ground, desperately absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to recover his injuries and replenish his energy.
This battle had taken a tremendous toll!
