Chapter 709: Chapter 0450: No Responsibility or Duty_2 Chapter 709: Chapter 0450: No Responsibility or Duty_2 Ti ticked by and Qi Tian didn’t dare to slack off for even a second. He held the Thousand Miles Mirror, constantly watching the movent behind him, waiting for the flying sailboats to appear.
But what Qi Tian did not expect happened. Just as the first flying sailboat getting close behind was about to enter the vision of the Thousand Miles Mirror, a burly man suddenly appeared on the deck of the sailboat. He raised his wand high, chanting words.
Qi Tian’s face changed, he promptly shouted, “Watch out, soone is going to attack us.”
Wan Xiaolan quickly asked, “How do you know?”
“It’s my intuition.” Qi Tian could only say this.
“Intuition?” One of the accompanying cultivators at Foundation Establishnt Peak sneered, “If you have such intuition, then tell when I can successfully advance to the Gold Core Stage. I can also ask your intuition about my future.”
“Shut up.” Wan Xiaolan’s face changed, she sternly rebuked the cultivator who interrupted, then said, “All of you, be careful at all tis, consider your safety, if sothing happens, I won’t have the ti to save you.”
After instructing everyone, Wan Xiaolan went to find Liang Yuqi, telling her about Qi Tian’s so-called “intuition”.
Liang Yuqi’s face changed, she said, “Actually, I also feel a little unsettled. No, we must speed up. If soone really is chasing us, their speed will definitely be faster than ours, I’m afraid they’re going to try to destroy us before we enter Fog Sea.”
While speaking, Liang Yuqi ran towards the cabin, she planned to implent so necessary adjustnts through the control array in the cabin to change the speed of the flying sailboat. However, at that very mont, a blazing fireball suddenly ca flying from behind. When Qi Tian and the others saw it with their own eyes, it was already quite close to the flying sailboat.
Liang Yuqi’s face turned pale, she struck out with a spirit rune, a short sword made of concentrated Spirit Qi flew from the tip of her fingers. It looked solid in the air, maintained a very fast speed, and rushed towards the incoming fireball.
With a tearing sound, the short sword made of Spirit Qi bisected the fireball, but after it split apart, it didn’t extinguish as Liang Yuqi had expected; instead, the two divided fireballs kept their montum, only changing direction, still aiming for the flying sailboat.
The fireball was moving extrely swiftly, coupled with the fact that everyone’s Divine Sense was suppressed, resulted in them only seeing the fireball when it was quite near. In the end, when the fireball finally landed, a cultivator at the Foundation Establishnt Stage failed to dodge in ti and was hit on the shoulder. He let out a scream, reaching out to snuff out the fireball, but the aggressive fireball instantly turned into a larger one, engulfing the unfortunat cultivator. It then started to fiercely detonate, reducing the cultivator to ashes within the blink of an eye.
This scene scared all the cultivators, including Qi Tian. Even the Gold Core Realm’s Wan Xiaolan turned pale. The power of this fireball was so great, it could be confird that it was not an ordinary person who shot it out, but must be an absolute master. Even Liang Yuqi may not be able to handle it. If Wan Xiaolan faced it, it would nearly mark a dead end.
The scene also startled Liang Yuqi. She had intended to enter the cabin, but now she had no choice but to stop. She stood facing the stern of the ship, drawing out her fighting weapon – a red, glistening ribbon. Her face composed, she said, “Elder Wan, join .”
Although Wan Xiaolan was sowhat concerned, he dared not defy Liang Yuqi’s words and reluctantly stood beside her.
Liang Yuqi shouted, “Is there anyone here who can pilot the flying ship? If so, hurry up and get into the cabin; we need to increase the ship’s speed.”
Qi Tian was, of course, incapable of controlling the ship. The other cultivators at the Foundation Establishnt Stage were equally clueless, as this was only the second encounter Qi Tian had had with the flying ship. He hadn’t even entered its cabin. The equivocal knowledge of the others wasn’t much better than Qi Tian’s. They mostly belonged to the smaller clans and factions of Wanjie City and were little capable of affording such luxurious flying treasure.
Liang Yuqi’s face betrayed her concern. She glanced at the other cultivators who had reached the Foundation Establishnt Stage before her gaze finally settled on Qi Tian. She instructed, “Qi Tian, you go. Let tell you, the lives of everyone on board are in your hands. If you can’t handle this task, you might as well slash your own throat.”
Qi Tian didn’t expect Liang Yuqi to single him out. He wanted to say that he didn’t know how to operate the ship, but he understood that this was no ti to make excuses. Each second wasted amplified their risk of being caught. Therefore, he resigned himself to the challenge.
Qi Tian charged straight towards the cabin. At that very mont, two more fireballs rushed out of the dense fog. One headed towards Liang Yuqi, while the other, as if predestined, ca barreling straight towards Qi Tian.
Liang Yuqi brandished her red ribbon, which was filled with red light resembling a whip. With little effort, she sent the fireball aid at her hurling back. However, she couldn’t reach the fireball coming towards Qi Tian in ti.
It was impossible for Wan Xiaolan to watch idly as Qi Tian was devoured by the fireball. He had certain admiration for Qi Tian and believed that Wanjie Comrce might need Qi Tian’s help in the near future. At the mont, they had found no one who could replace Qi Tian, hence, he couldn’t stand by and see Qi Tian perish.
With a loud roar, Wan Xiaolan increased his speed, rushing to an altitude of about three ters above the ground, blocking Qi Tian. Wan Xiaolan knew full well the destructive power of the fireballs. If he were to be hit, although he wouldn’t be reduced to ashes like the unlucky cultivator from the Foundation Establishnt Stage, he was certain it wouldn’t be pleasant.
Wan Xiaolan didn’t want to unintentionally risk his life, even sustaining an injury would not be a happy affair. Right from the start, he employed his best survival move – retrieving a shield. Though it was only palm-sized, under his manipulation, it grew rapidly, ending up to be an oversized, three-ter-high, two-ter-wide shield. Leaning his shoulder against it, Wan Xiaolan charged towards the fireball.
The fireball was directly shattered by the shield, leaving a large black mark on it. Before Wan Xiaolan could celebrate, he saw it wasn’t imdiately extinguished, but instead, it split into four or five smaller fireballs that lunged in different directions. Oddly one of them turned in mid-air and continued to fly towards Qi Tian.
At this point, neither Liang Yuqi nor Wan Xiaolan could rescue Qi Tian. On one hand, they couldn’t overpower the speed of the fireballs. On the other hand, several more fireballs were flying towards them making it impossible to take care of Qi Tian.
Qi Tian held no expectation for the help of Liang Yuqi or Wan Xiaolan. They weren’t his sect elders and had no obligation to save him. He wasn’t harboring any impractical illusions. Seeing the deadly fireball that could instantly kill a cultivator at an advanced Foundation Establishnt Stage rushing at him, he moved slightly and the Linked-Chain Armor, which he had just bought and worn recently, began to work instantly. A few armor plates appeared in front of his body in the direction of the oncoming fireball, erecting a defensive line between him and the fireball.
