Chapter 738: Chapter 0465: Dare Not Disrespect in the Slightest Chapter 738: Chapter 0465: Dare Not Disrespect in the Slightest Chapter 0465: Not daring to show the slightest disrespect
Before Qi Tian finished speaking, a gust of wind rushed out of the courtyard. Zhang Weing had noticed when Qi Tian had just broken the first point of his Defensive Barrier, but at that mont, Zhang Weing was at a critical point in his cultivation and made no move. He also harbored a hope that Qi Tian had found the first point of the formation due to luck, not genuine skill. However, when it dawned on Zhang Weing that Qi Tian must have mastered a unique technique or was very familiar with his Defensive Barrier, it was already too late. Qi Tian had broken three points in quick succession, leaving only the last one. Now, there was no point worrying about whether the last formation point could be preserved. So, Zhang Weing decided to go along with Qi Tian’s plan, letting him break the last point. Then, when Qi Tian was most complacent, believing himself to be unbeatable and letting down his guard, Zhang Weing would suddenly strike, guaranteeing a big surprise.
Zhang Weing had planned well, but Qi Tian did not dare relax for even a mont. Moreover, Qi Tian had started the Spirit Qi sensing function of the Heavenly Dao Engine, which constantly monitored Zhang Weing’s position. Under the vision provided by the Heavenly Dao Engine, no matter where Zhang Weing hid, he could not escape Qi Tian’s surveillance, making it impossible to launch a sudden attack on him.
As Zhang Weing launched his attack, Qi Tian swiftly receded, while also loudly issuing directives: “Follow my command, attack together.”
At this mont, Gao Jini, Jin Jin, and Wang Youjun, the three Gold Core Realm powerhouses, took action together, throwing their Gold Core Thunder Talismans given by Qi Tian. Suddenly, three fierce thunderbolts that could pierce the heavens burst into the sky. They were like three long spears, piercing downwards from the sky, aiming directly at Zhang Weing on the ground.
Zhang Weing was indeed exceptional. His figure flashed, displaying a remarkable speed. He managed to dodge the coordinated kill strategy composed of three Gold Core Thunder Talismans, but at the mont when Zhang Weing thought he had dodged the assault, Qi Tian swung his hand and unleashed the fourth Gold Core Thunder Talisman. The newly ford thunderbolt tore through the sky and was aid straight at Zhang Weing.
Qi Tian had already calculated all the possible angles of Zhang Weing’s evasion attempts. Zhang Weing’s evasive maneuvers landed him exactly where Qi Tian had predicted. Hence, the last Gold Core Thunder Talisman had an excellent effect, as the bolt struck Zhang Weing directly.
The attack unleashed by the Gold Core Thunder Talisman equated to a full-strength strike from a cultivator at the Gold Core Realm Fourth Level. Zhang Weing, being a powerhouse of the sa cultivation level, would need a long ti to prepare to launch a similarly powerful attack. Moreover, such a technique extrely drains True Essence and spirit. Getting hit by it directly instantaneously caused nurous runes to surface on the surface of his cloak – the Defensive Runes stitched into the fabric of his robe were activated to defend him from the descending Thunderbolt.
With a “boom” sound, Zhang Weing’s cloak was blasted to shreds. This was the mont Qi Tian was waiting for; he made his move and attacked Zhang Weing.
Zhang Weing was in great anger. Before he had a chance to confront Qi Tian directly, Qi Tian had successively destroyed his Defensive Barrier and cloak. Zhang Weing hadn’t suffered so much ever since he embarked on the path of cultivation.
Zhang Weing wanted to retaliate by thrusting his spear towards Qi Tian. The spear was incredibly powerful, as if it could pierce a hole in the universe.
Qi Tian sneered, and on his command, the Linked-Chain Armor he was wearing sprung to action. Several pieces of the armor overlaid on his front ford a thick defense, right where the spear was pointed.
Popping sounds resonated as the spear penetrated two layers of armor plates and then could move no more. Zhang Weing’s spear, although not of superior quality, is still a formidable weapon. Just because Zhang Weing was a more advanced cultivator didn’t an he was wealthier than Wu Shenglian. If Zhang Weing were truly affluent, this reputable Gold Core Realm Fourth Level cultivator wouldn’t have stooped to robbing mortals of their wealth. Five million taels of silver were equivalent to just five middle-grade spirit stones. Yet, he tried to rob them, indicating how poor he was. This forced Zhang Weing to manage his resources frugally, as evidenced by the spear he was wielding, which he had procured after much effort when he was at the Gold Core Realm First Level.
It’s a common norm for cultivators, especially those at the Gold Core Realm, to frequently replace their war weapons and armors. Wu Shenglian, for example, replaced her set of gear when reaching the Gold Core Realm Second Level, and again after reaching the Gold Core Realm Third Level. As a cultivator’s cultivation level increases, so does their strength, and therefore, they need to replace their weapons and armors accordingly. Otherwise, their gear wouldn’t be able to keep up with their increased needs.
However, Zhang Weing was not as fortunate as Wu Shenglian. His spear, usable at the Gold Core Realm First Level, was still in use even after reaching the Gold Core Realm Fourth Level. Additionally, it was being used to combat Qi Tian. Given Qi Tian’s skill before his trip to Wanjie City, Zhang Weing’s current capabilities would’ve been sufficient to kill him instantly. But things were different now. The Linked-Chain Armor purchased with millions of low-grade spirit stones had successfully blocked Zhang Weing’s spear.
