Qin Tian could never have imagined that Zhang Wangchuan, so close at hand, would resort to underhanded tactics once again.
This guy!
He clenched his fists tightly, a cruel glint flashing at the corner of his mouth.
"Looking for death."
Zhang Wangchuan was oblivious; he had no idea what he had truly crossed.
That was the softest spot in Qin Tian's heart, the most vulnerable point.
He felt a sense of belonging to the Xuan Yang Sword Sect and Sky Peak, as if they were home.
It was precisely because of this that he could not forgive Du Ziheng for turning against him.
It was also why he was furious at Zhang Wangchuan for plotting against Third Senior Brother.
This was his vulnerable spot.
This was the place he least wanted anyone to touch.
Bang!
A crisp sound echoed through the void.
Suddenly, a figure appeared before Zhang Wangchuan, amidst the disbelief of everyone around.
That was precisely where he had struck.
A dark, cold glimmer instantly made contact with Qin Tian's chest.
Then, a thunderous explosion erupted, reverberating wildly.
In the midst of the deafening roar, two figures shot out violently.
Du Tianxing, who had no head but could see everything, stood frozen in place, silent.
Yet at that moment, he was moved.
Turning around, he looked at Qin Tian, who was struggling to rise from the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He seemed to laugh broadly without any sign of pain.
He didn't know how to express himself.
Gratitude?
Or guilt?
Du Tianxing's heart was filled with complexity.
"I am too weak. If I were stronger, Junior Brother wouldn't have to sacrifice himself for me."
With a sigh, he turned around and looked into the distance at Zhang Wangchuan.
This kid still hadn't changed his old habits from years ago.
Talent is one thing, but his mentality determined his limits.
He would never have the qualifications to become the Supreme Champion.
"Third Senior Brother, let me end this battle!"
Qin Tian trembled as he stepped behind Third Senior Brother.
Third Senior Brother said nothing but turned to leave.
Now, it was Qin Tian's stage.
What he wanted to do, he had already accomplished.
"Heh, after suffering my heavy blow, you still want to fight me? Truly overestimating yourself."
Zhang Wangchuan chuckled, his fists clenched tightly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Then I'll borrow your dog head for a moment!"
Qin Tian slowly removed his clothing, causing countless Female Cultivators in the Arena to scream.
On his lean body, rows of bare muscles were clearly visible.
Qin Tian's body was perfect to the point of being flawless.
"Youth, you should indeed be a bit more confident. However, excessive confidence is your downfall! Fall, kid!"
Boom!
A loud explosion echoed.
In an instant, Zhang Wangchuan's body vanished from its original spot.
The next moment, he appeared to Qin Tian's left.
Taking advantage of the moment when Qin Tian was completely caught off guard, he swung his blade!
The chilling edge of the sword sliced through the air, aiming for Qin Tian's head.
Buzz!
Just as the blade was about to make contact with Qin Tian's head, he disappeared.
"How is this possible?"
Even Zhang Wangchuan was stunned.
How could this kid possibly evade his attack?
He was a master at the early stage of Qi Control Realm!
"Behind you."
In the Arena, an elder from Lingxu Daozong spoke with a trembling voice.
Zhang Wangchuan suddenly turned around.
To his surprise, an ordinary fist had already struck his head.
Bang!
A loud sound echoed.
Zhang Wangchuan's body was sent flying over ten feet away.
Before he could even land, Qin Tian had already appeared behind him.
One foot slowly lifted.
"Get lost!"
Boom, boom, boom.
With a powerful kick, the air seemed to shatter.
Zhang Wangchuan's body was once again propelled several feet away.
He skidded across the Arena floor, flying several feet before crashing down at the edge of the Arena.
Complete domination!
It was a complete domination.
In the Arena, all the disciples of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect and the Three Sect Elders couldn't help but shout out loud.
However, the elders from Lingxu Daozong and Ziyang Immortal Sect were merely astonished, their shouts filled with disbelief.
In contrast, the disciples and elders of Xuan Yang Sword Sect were celebrating from the depths of their hearts.
It was exhilarating.
It had been a long time since they felt this thrilled.
"Who said that if Zhang Wangchuan came out, our Brother Qin would undoubtedly lose? Who was it? Step forward right now!"
Those with bad tempers immediately spoke up.
Many who had previously claimed that Brother Qin would surely lose fell silent at this moment, not daring to retort for fear of being attacked by countless others.
"I never expected that Qin Tian's strength would have improved so dramatically."
Beside Wu Qingyuan, several elders wore expressions of shock.
Who would have thought that Qin Tian, who had joined the Inner Sect for only half a year, could carve his way through and reach the Nine-Man Battle?
Who could have imagined that after finally entering the Nine-Man Battle, Qin Tian would display such overwhelming power? He had already defeated two Heavenly Pride from Lingxu Daozong and then decisively overwhelmed the first Heavenly Pride of Lingxu Daozong.
He was too strong!
It was almost unreal.
"Is this really happening?"
Several disciples who had always believed that Qin Tian could never win were now stunned.
"Of course it's true."
Ling Miaoyi rolled her eyes at these ignorant individuals.
They were so clueless.
Did they really think that Qin Tian's strength was limited to just that?
They were gravely mistaken.
What made Qin Tian truly terrifying was his ability to grow stronger when faced with a formidable opponent.
Not to mention the early stages of Qi Control Realm; even those in the mid-stages, after being defeated dozens of times, could not withstand Qin Tian's advance.
The two sides clashed fiercely in the Arena, engaging in hundreds of rounds of combat.
This time, Qin Tian clearly held the upper hand.
It was even more exhilarating than the battle between Third Senior Brother and Zhang Wangchuan.
After hundreds of rounds, two figures appeared at the edge of the Arena, both panting heavily.
"I really underestimated you! Hehe."
Zhang Wangchuan gasped as he looked at the wounds covering his body.
He couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.
After all, the latter's cultivation was only at the Transcendence of Meridian Realm Completion.
That was one realm below his own.
How could it be that after hundreds of exchanges, he still couldn't take him down? What on earth had happened?
If the latter had shown all his cards, it would have been understandable.
However, it seemed that he hadn't revealed even a single trump card.
It was merely a warm-up.
"Likewise," Qin Tian said as he rubbed the wound on his shoulder.
Zhang Wangchuan was indeed formidable.
Not to mention his cunning tactics, his combat power truly deserved the title of the number one Heavenly Pride of Lingxu Daozong.
However, Qin Tian was no pushover either.
Everything was still uncertain.
"This move was originally intended for dealing with those Freaks after entering the Ancient Immortal Path. It seems I can no longer keep it hidden."
Without his sinister trump card, he could only resort to such means.
"Heh, it doesn't matter what you use. Does it?"
Qin Tian's lips curled into a faint smile.
Within him, one hundred and eight Meridians trembled.
His blood surged with intensity.
The Ren and Du Meridians were also in constant motion.
He activated all the Meridians in his body.
The Ren and Du Meridians acted like a bridge, allowing all the Meridians to unleash their extraordinary potential. This was why Qin Tian could slay two Qi Control Realm experts with his Channeling Realm cultivation.
However, the Zhang Wangchuan before him was clearly not a novice who had just stepped into the Qi Control Realm.
As an established expert of the Qi Control Realm, he indeed qualified as Qin Tian's strongest opponent before entering the Ancient Immortal Path.
"Golden Barbarian Bull Technique!"
As his voice fell, a torrent of overwhelming blood energy erupted from within him. Immediately, a golden celestial bull materialized behind him.
Upon witnessing this move, all the disciples in the Arena were momentarily stunned.
However, the elders of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect in the stands were left utterly dumbfounded.
"The Golden Barbarian Bull Technique, isn't it the top-ranked body technique of the Lingxu Daozong? Moreover, the difficulty of cultivation is extremely high. A slight mistake could even lead to self-immolation."
"I didn't expect that the Lingxu Daozong truly holds Zhang Wangchuan in high regard."
Wu Qingyuan's eyes reddened slightly as he read this.
He regretted it.
If he hadn't deliberately neglected Qin Tian earlier and had focused on selecting a few powerful techniques for him, perhaps Qin Tian wouldn't have fallen into such a passive situation.
All of this was his fault.
Beside him, Elder Zhao and Qiyun Hai, the leader of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect, patted his shoulder.
"Don't blame yourself. That kid was too dazzling back then; if it were me, I wouldn't have handed over those sect secrets to him either."
Elder Zhao laughed heartily.
Qiyun Hai nodded at that moment as well.
Recalling Qin Tian from that time made them both laugh and cry.
During the Outer Sect Grand Competition, Gong Xueyi had unexpectedly "tied" Qin Tian to Sky Peak.
If anyone were in the position of an elder, they would likely have no good feelings towards someone who had only entered Sky Peak through connections. Without any goodwill, why would they provide resources or secret techniques?
The sect is not a charity.
Who would have thought that this guy, who joined Sky Peak through "connections," would take on the responsibility of Sky Peak alone after Gong Xueyi left the Sect, even raising the banner of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect?
"What kind of technique is this?"
As the Golden Barbarian Bull Technique was unleashed, all the disciples in the Arena were stunned.
They had never seen such a martial art before.
In contrast, at the Lingxu Daozong seats, whether it was the elders or some disciples who had come along for experience, they all wore proud smiles.
The Golden Barbarian Bull Technique.
The first body refining technique of Lingxu Daozong had been revealed.
Qin Tian.
Just wait to die!
While they were overjoyed, Qin Tian began to tremble lightly.
In the end, he even covered his head with his hands, tilting it back as he couldn't help but burst into wild laughter.
"So this is your trump card. So this is your last resort. Hahaha, Soul Mask."
At the last moment.
The journal boldly pulled out the Soul Mask obtained from Wu Qingyuan.
"Impossible! Isn't the Soul Mask only usable by those in the Qi Control Realm? He clearly hasn't stepped into the Qi Control Realm!"
An elder sitting beside Wu Qingyuan exclaimed in astonishment.
"For ordinary people, it indeed requires reaching the Qi Control Realm. Only then can one control their own soul. However, for a Freak in the Channeling Realm who can already control their own soul, is it really necessary to be in the Qi Control Realm to use it?"
Wu Qingyuan paused slightly, a calm smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Heh, so young."
