273: Kill with One PunchQi Tian ran a long distance in one breath, successfully shook off the pursuit of the bats, and did not encounter the dark gold three-headed bat king that appeared in the original time and space.
Before long, the road ahead began to spiral upward.
Qi Tian stopped and looked up at the road in front of him. "Here, we should be very close to the exit."
Along the way, except for the corpses that appeared in the first half of the Hell Road, he never saw any corpses afterwards.
It's not to say that no one fell in the second half. Take the bats that appeared just now as an example. Once someone falls into their hands, the body will be eaten up.
As the temperature around gets higher and higher, the one that can appear here must be an extremely powerful soul beast.
Qi Tian was not in a hurry to advance. He had consumed a lot of physical energy during the whole journey. If he encountered a strong guy, he would be afraid that he would not be able to cope with it in his current state.
Sitting cross-legged, Qi Tian could clearly feel that the murderous aura in his body was becoming more and more intense, and it seemed that he was only one step away from forming the realm of the God of Killing.
After leaving the City of Slaughter, his soul power level was only level 59, still some distance away from the level 60 mark.
However, what he should consider first is how to deal with the overflowing murderous aura.
Tang San could use Yue Xuan, and he could do that, but this would undoubtedly expose his position.
…
Inside the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
Ning Fengzhi and Jian Gu Douluo gathered in the meeting hall.
"Feng Zhi, we bought so many medicinal herbs from Dugu Bo, but he refused to tell us the identity of the person behind the scenes. He was also secretive about Qi Tian's movements, and it was obvious that he was taking advantage of us." Gu Rong said angrily.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has given Dugu Bo 10 million gold soul coins over the years, and they only purchased medicinal materials worth 5 million gold soul coins. In other words, they gave the remaining 5 million gold soul coins to Dugu Bo for free.
Even if Gu Rong didn't say it, Ning Fengzhi knew that it was basically impossible to win over Qi Tian.
What's more, Yu Tianheng has been in contact with Ning Rongrong. After not seeing Qi Tian for a long time, Ning Rongrong's heart must have begun to waver.
With a sigh, Ning Fengzhi decided, "Uncle Gu, let Tianheng and Rongrong get in touch. It's time to put the matter of the three sects being of the same blood together on the agenda."
"It should have been done long ago." Gu Rong responded.
Dugu Bo's actions did seem to be guided by a master. But this master was still an unknown figure after all. Since Dugu Bo was unwilling to reveal the person behind him, it was not something that could be solved by just giving money.
Instead of this, it is better to form an alliance with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. As for the future heir of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, there is no need to rush.
"Uncle Jian, have the sect disciples behave more restrainedly. Although our industry has withdrawn from Fasno City, I am worried that this is just a prelude. The Spirit Hall will intensify its suppression of us next. We must not let them find any evidence against the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect now."
Chen Xin nodded.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect currently needs to reduce some of its resources. Continuing to deploy across the entire continent while the situation on the continent is unclear will only do harm and no good.
"Feng Zhi, His Majesty's health is getting worse and worse. Do we still need to send the medicinal materials we got from the old poisoner to the palace?" Gu Rong couldn't help asking.
Since Ning Fengzhi became the sect leader, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect has clearly supported the Tiandou Empire. Because of this, they have ushered in a golden period of development for more than ten years.
Now, Ning Fengzhi is still Xue Qinghe's teacher. Once Xue Ye dies, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe will directly inherit the throne. According to etiquette, Ning Fengzhi will be awarded the title of Imperial Teacher. He may even become the Imperial Teacher of the Tiandou Empire.
The position of the Imperial Master is second only to the Emperor. He is below one person and above ten thousand people.
But the reality is that Xue Qinghe is naturally capable of governing the Tiandou Empire, but can he lead the Tiandou Empire to deal with the threat of the Spirit Hall?
Ever since Xue Ye became seriously ill, the crown prince Xue Qinghe was appointed as regent. At present, it seems that Xue Qinghe has adopted a conciliatory policy towards the Spirit Hall, which is to allow the Spirit Hall to act freely in the Tiandou Empire.
"Uncle Gu, His Majesty has taken these herbs, but his condition has not improved." Ning Fengzhi said helplessly: "We have also sent a batch of healing spirit masters, but His Majesty's body is not caused by poisoning, but natural aging. Our methods are completely ineffective."
"Besides, His Majesty Dugu was invited by Prince Xuexing to frequently go in and out of the palace to help His Majesty take care of his health."
Xue Ye's behavior seemed to be caused by poisoning, but with so many people almost understanding the reason, Ning Fengzhi had to deny the guess of poisoning.
After thinking for a moment, Ning Fengzhi continued, "We must also be prepared. Prince Xuexing may not behave himself. Once His Majesty passes away, we must assist Qinghe in taking the throne."
Over the years, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect has poured countless resources into Xue Qinghe, and they will only get rewards if Xue Qinghe successfully ascends the throne. They will never allow any unexpected situations to happen.
…
Road to Hell.
A strange snake appeared in front of Qi Tian.
"Ten-headed Fiery Sun Snake." Qi Tian raised his eyes slightly and leveled them with the head of one of the snakes.
This was the last test on the road to hell. In this place where soul skills could not be used, even a Titled Douluo would find it difficult to face such a soul beast.
Qi Tian's long-range attack means are limited, so while the opponent is still some distance away from him, he quickly runs towards the exit.
Qi Tian's idea was very simple, to avoid if possible, and it would be best if he could pass through the road to hell unscathed.
He didn't run far, and he obviously underestimated the speed of the ten-headed Fiery Sun Snake. One of the snake heads opened its bloody mouth and attacked Qi Tian.
The strong fishy smell enveloped Qi Tian, which immediately sounded the alarm for him.
"Go to hell, you beast." Qi Tian didn't dare to step forward.
The right fist retreated behind the shoulder and then punched out fiercely. A galloping golden dragon flew out and hit the snake's head.
The other heads of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake simultaneously made a sound like a baby crying, which lingered in Qi Tian's ears.
Before he could make any new move, the system panel appeared in his mind.
[Trigger a critical hit and kill the opponent instantly.]
"Hehe, it seems that I am lucky and save myself the trouble."
Qi Tian retracted his gaze and let the ten-headed Fiery Sun Snake fall into the lake of blood.
The inner elixir of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake is indeed an extraordinary item, but after triggering the critical strike effect, its body has completely disintegrated and the inner elixir has been shattered.
Qi Tian felt no regrets and continued to move forward.
Not long after, a pale white gate appeared in front of a dead end.
Qi Tian gathered all his strength, took a run-up, and leaped right into the gate.
There was a flash of white light before my eyes, followed by a bizarre scene.
When he regained consciousness, the blood-red surroundings had long since disappeared, replaced by a forest filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers. (End of this chapter)
