The combined attack of the Claw Duck and the Silver Arrow Fish made Qi Tian more aware of some of his current shortcomings. If he had prepared some Earth Wall Skills or Golden Light Body Protection Talisman beforehand, he wouldn’t be in such a mess now. He had been focusing too much on improving his individual strength in the past, neglecting some aspects; he would need to rectify this in the future.

Hu Niu gobbled down a Claw Duck, but the mostly feathery texture quickly soured her interest in these demonic birds, which barely contained a few pounds of meat. She sidled up next to Qi Tian, nudging him in the hope that he would continue riding her forward.

Qi Tian gave Hu Niu a pat and said: “I won’t ride anymore. From now on, Hu Niu, I’ll walk on foot. We’ll fight side by side.”

A man and a tiger walking side by side. As a Golden Flur Tiger, Hu Niu had an innate sense of danger. After taking a few steps forward, she stopped in her tracks, eyes focused in a particular direction.

Splashing sounds…

From the rivers on both sides of the road, two massive serpents emerged, each entirely composed of water. Spanning over ten meters long and the thickness of a barrel, they moved with extraordinary speed. Disregarding other factors, just their sheer weight combined with their speed was enough to produce a massive impact force of thousands of pounds.

Roar…

Hu Niu let out a fierce roar and lunged towards one of the water serpents. Meanwhile, Qi Tian leaped into the air, wielding his Demon-Banishing Stick and slammed it onto the head of the other serpent.

Thud…

The serpent’s head shattered upon impact, and the entire creature dispersed, transforming into tons of water that drenched the ground.

Upon landing, Qi Tian gripped his stick with both hands, positioning the Demon-Banishing Stick across his chest. He commanded with a stern voice: “Hiding and revealing only your tails, are you a bunch of water rats?!”, his words echoed with the power of the Lianying Realm.

The water stirred, followed by the whistling sound of five cultivators clad in tight Water Armor springing out of the river. The one leading them was a skinny man with shifty eyes, resembling a water rat quite a bit.

“Kid, we originally just wanted to play with you for a bit longer and let you live a bit longer. Didn’t expect you to spout nonsense and seek death. Well then, we’ll grant your wish. Brothers, let’s get ready. He’ll soon know the power of us, the Clear Water Five Ghosts.” The water rat-like cultivator bellowed.

In an instant, these so-called Clear Water Five Ghosts activated the runes on their Water Armor and the runes on their weapons also lit up. Four of them lunged towards Qi Tian, while the remaining one withdrew, raising his magic staff high in the air.

Every member of the Clear Water Five Ghosts had a high cultivation level, with the weakest amongst them being at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation and the rest were at the eighth. The water mage who acted first raised his staff high, lighting up the runes on it. Suddenly, the river water on both sides of the road flew into the sky, turning into a localized heavy downpour, pounding towards both Qi Tian and the remaining four Clear Water Ghosts.

The heavy downpour was just an ordinary one, without any magical attack, but it came down so thick and fast that under the control of the water mage, it hit straight at Qi Tian’s face, making it difficult for him to breathe and barely able to keep his eyes open.

In comparison, the Clear Water Four Ghosts all had corresponding water-avoidance spells protecting them. The Water Armor they wore ensured they could move freely in the water like fish. It can be said that the downpour had almost no effect on them.

The Clear Water Four Ghosts grinned maliciously and pounced towards Qi Tian.

Zhao Qian and Huang Liuyan were located about ten meters away from Qi Tian. Seeing that Qi Tian was in trouble, Zhao Qian couldn’t help but worry. She glanced at Huang Liuyan, wanting to go help. However, Huang Liuyan shook her head, not allowing Zhao Qian to go. She believed that this small difficulty wouldn’t be big trouble for Qi Tian.

Qi Tian realized that since he wouldn’t be able to block the downpour straight on his face, for the time being, he could only ignore it. He held his breath, narrowing his eyes to a slit. Gripping the handle of his Demon-Banishing Stick with both hands, he swung it upward. Taking full advantage of the reach of the long weapon he possessed, it prevented the Clear Water Four Ghosts from approaching any closer.

“Lao Wu,” called out the leader among the Clear Water Five Ghosts. At his command, the water mage shouted, the runes on his staff flaring up brightly. Continuous True Essence flowed through the staff, unleashing the power to manipulate the river water. It swirled up masses of water from the river, pouring down on Qi Tian’s head in an even more dense assault than the downpour.

At that moment, Hu Niu shattered the water python entangled around it with a roar, lurching toward Qi Tian. She sprinted a few steps then somersaulted into a spattering wall of water, creating an almost transparent silhouette of a person.

Hu Niu seemed to view the creature hiding behind the water screen, waiting to deliver a fatal blow to Qi Tian, as a mortal enemy and chased after it persistently, biting and clawing.

“Curse you, beasts.” The rest of the Clear Water Five Ghosts, seeing their hidden comrade exposed by Hu Niu, cursed angrily in an uproar. They were actually a group of six, but they always lied and claimed they were only five. Their comrade was hidden behind the water screen, using his ability to dissolve into water to launch surprise attacks against their adversaries. This approach was repeatedly successful, but this time, it was all spoiled by the Golden Flur Tiger.

“Brothers, let’s not waste time. Let’s team up and get rid of this kid.” The leader of the Clear Water Six Ghosts shouted, activating the runes on his Water Armor and charging at Qi Tian.

The water magician once again increased the speed of his magic output, calling forth more river water to attack Qi Tian while simultaneously providing cover for his allies, creating a favorable environment.

Qi Tian ducked his head and used the back of his head to block the waterfall-like curtain of water falling from the sky. He opened his eyes and surveyed the positions of the Clear Water Six Ghosts, quickly formulating a plan. He directed his True Essence into the Wuhang Ring, instantaneously activating his Galloping Skill and using the speed of fifty meters per second to burst out of the curtain of water.

The water magician, who wasn’t too far from Qi Tian, was within Qi Tian’s attack range in less than half a second.

All fourteen meridians fully open…

All runes on the Demon-Banishing Stick activated…

The Heavenly Dao Engine was activated, doubling its power…

With a fierce sparkle in his eyes, Qi Tian shook his Demon-Banishing Stick and aimed directly for the head of the water magician.

The water magician was shocked. He was hiding behind everyone else, more than twenty meters away from Qi Tian. How on earth did Qi Tian appear before him so suddenly? Even a ghost wouldn’t move that fast, would it?

He was scared but reacted instantly. Several runes lit up on his Water Armor, serving as defensive measures, using the power of water to dissolve a force of several thousand pounds. It was enough to block the force of most cultivators in the Qi Cultivation period. His magical energy had already been channeled into his magic wand, and it was starting to retract. He didn’t need much, just a second to perform a new spell and attack Qi Tian now that he was in close reach. At worst, he would be able to buy himself some time to retreat into the river. From there, like a dragon taking to the sea, Qi Tian would never be able to touch him.

But before the oncoming magician could retract and change the direction of his spell, the Demon-Banishing Stick was like a machete hacking through weeds. It easily shattered the runes and continued on its unstoppable path, striking hard on the head of the water magician. It was as if a watermelon had been smashed, brains spattering everywhere as he instantly met his end.

“Lao Wu.” The rest of the Clear Water Six Ghosts watched this scene and nearly vomited blood. “You’re so ruthless, you dared to kill Lao Wu. We’ll go for broke with you now.”

A smirk appeared at the corner of Qi Tian’s mouth. Like a tiger meeting a flock of sheep, he charged towards the remaining Clear Water Four Ghosts with the Demon-Banishing Stick. The last one was still tied up fighting Hu Niu. He had some techniques. Even though he was being beaten by Hu Niu, he had a tenacity that kept him going.

Without the water magician in his way, Qi Tian was able to exhibit all his fighting power. Under the boosting effect of the Heavenly Dao Engine, he was able to exert a force of ten thousand pounds. Practically with every swing of his stick, another ghost would fall. In the blink of an eye, he had killed all the Clear Water Four Ghosts.

Seeing the situation turning unfavourable, the last Clear Water Sixth Ghost wanted to run. But how could he escape? Not to mention Qi Tian, even Hu Niu would not let him go.

Qi Tian, not wanting to waste any more time, charged over. As Hu Niu forced the sixth ghost to the ground, he swung his stick, killing him instantly.

After a quick search of the bodies of the Clear Water Six Ghosts, Qi Tian found six Spirit Military items, including their magic wands, and six Storage Bags, which he took as his own. As for the Water Armor on their bodies, Qi Tian could tell at a glance that it was valuable and planned to strip it off. However, when he tried to strip off the armor from the first guy, he found the man was bare underneath. The thought of indirectly making skin contact with the Clear Water Six Ghosts by wearing the Water Armor made Qi Tian lose his appetite. Remembering that Zhao Qian and Huang Liuyan were standing nearby watching, he gave up on his plan to strip the armor.

“Let’s go.” Huang Liuyan, on top of a red-eyed wolf, walked over.

“Okay.” Qi Tian mounted Hu Niu and said to Zhao Qian, “Princess, the reason I won just now was due to a speed-enhancing skill. Although this skill is useful, I can only use it once a day. Should a similar situation arise again, please react as needed and try to help me handle long-range attacking magicians. Of course, I’m referring to situations like the one just now, where I couldn’t open my eyes, or see people clearly. I can handle ordinary spells.”

Zhao Qian nodded in agreement. She hadn’t offered to help earlier, not because she didn’t want to, but because she had to prioritize protecting Huang Liuyan. Additionally, Huang Liuyan had assured her that Qi Tian could handle it and, sure enough, he did without scratch.
