Liu Haoshuai likely possesses a great gift for the art of the sword. He and his Silver Snake Sword melded entirely as one, like an arm he was born with, as agile as his own finger, moving freely. The sword technique he used was remarkably exquisite.

Qi Tian was no weaker. He pushed his Chasing Wind Step to the limit. At the beginning, he was concerned about any mishaps, so he activated the Heavenly Dao Engine to increase his speed. However, he quickly realized that even without activating the Heavenly Dao Engine to accelerate his Chasing Wind Step, he was still able to dodge Liu Haoshuai’s sword moves. As for the fire serpent, it only appeared terrifying but its speed fell slightly behind Liu Haoshuai’s sword moves, giving Qi Tian enough time to react. Qi Tian simply turned off the Heavenly Dao Engine, reducing his velocity to being just slightly faster than Liu Haoshuai’s sword move.

Wang Mingming and Zheng Shaosheng were standing by, watching the two spar.

Wang Mingming frequently applauded in appreciation.

“Old Zheng, how do you think our Brother Haoshuai’s Spirit Snake Sword Skills, which rank Yellow-Rank Lower Class, are performing? Hasn’t he reached a state of great achievement? Truly worthy of being Brother Hu’s nephew, what exceptional talent. When I was his age, I could not understand at all how to open my second meridian. You say… well done, Brother Haoshuai, that move Spiritual Snake Out of the Hole was well executed.”

In contrast to Wang Mingming’s energy and enthusiasm, Zheng Shaosheng seemed worried. Like Wang Mingming, he did not have high hopes for Qi Tian. Liu Haoshuai’s talent was just too impressive, easily placing him within the top ten talents of the Imperial Master Mansion since its establishment. Among his peers, he is arguably the first. How could Qi Tian not be at a disadvantage countering such a person? What he just saw of Qi Tian’s exchange with Liu Haoshuai speaks volumes.

Liu Haoshuai made the first move without any warning. This was debatable, but if this were a real battlefield, expecting the enemy to give you a heads-up for everything would be unrealistic. Liu Haoshuai’s approach is indeed more reflective of actual combat and helps with personal steeling. Putting that aside, Liu Haoshuai’s performance was almost flawless. His sword technique was exquisite and his speed imposing, taking the upper hand from the very beginning.

In contrast, Qi Tian was at a disadvantage from the beginning. The moment Liu Haoshuai unexpectedly made the first move, the speed of Qi Tian’s reaction made Zheng Shaosheng’s eyes light up. But that must be Qi Tian’s lifesaving trick, either capable of bursting out in just an instant or draining too much True Essence and can’t be used frequently. No matter the reason, Qi Tian’s speed had fallen, under Liu Haoshuai’s relentless onslaught, it could be said that it was fraught with hazards.

Zheng Shaosheng wasn’t able to offer Qi Tian much help. After all, this was a fair fight between Qi Tian and Liu Haoshuai. He could only focus all his attention, holding his breath constantly, waiting for the moment Qi Tian would lose. He hoped to act in time and save Qi Tian from Liu Haoshuai’s sword; lest Liu Haoshuai went all out and injured Qi Tian. This was the only useful thing he could do for Qi Tian at the moment.

Liu Haoshuai was displaying Spirit Snake Sword Skills. Each sword move was faster than the last and each move overlapped the previous one. In a very short time, he had executed more than a dozen sword moves. In his mind, he should have been able to cut down Qi Tian long ago. But what annoyed him was that all his sword moves had missed. Though it seemed like Qi Tian was in grave danger, in actuality, he hadn’t even touched a single hair of Qi Tian’s.

Liu Haoshuai became extremely angry. Since childhood, he had never met a rival among his peers. Even children a year or two older than him, he would beat them until they cried for their parents. This time, it should have been a simple task where he could easily lay his hands on Qi Tian, a person whom he had never considered seriously. However, to his surprise, Qi Tian showed such strong resistance. Despite maintaining the attack, Liu Haoshuai was still unable to break through.

A ruthless expression flashed in Liu Haoshuai’s eyes. Suddenly, he poured more True Essence into his Silver Snake Sword. As a result, the runes on the Silver Snake Sword were bright to an almost blinding degree. He had stimulated the runes to their maximum, which would severely damage the Silver Snake Sword. It was almost certain that once this sparring session with Qi Tian was over, his invaluable Silver Snake Sword would be ruined.

“Frightened Bird, Startle Serpent!”

Liu Haoshuai unleashed the strongest move from the Spirit Snake Sword Skills, one that could bring out the power of the snake soul in the Silver Snake Sword to its full potential. The sword technique was fierce and powerful. The fire serpent even grew thicker and larger, gone were its ways of lurking around the Silver Snake Sword waiting for an opportunity. Now it swam off to launch an attack on Qi Tian from the flank.

Qi Tian suddenly found himself in a dangerous situation.

“It’s not good, Qi Tian is in trouble,” Zheng Shaosheng panicked and was about to rush up to save Qi Tian. To his surprise, Wang Mingming stopped him, “Old Zheng, what are you doing? We are the referees. It’s not appropriate for you to interfere like this. Just relax and watch.”

With this slight delay, the tip of Liu Haoshuai’s Silver Snake Sword and the fire serpent had already formed a pincer attack, completely blocking Qi Tian’s escape route. Qi Tian had no chance to dodge anymore.

A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Liu Haoshuai’s mouth. He changed his mind, this time he planned to at least cut off one of Qi Tian’s arms as a minimum to compensate for the time Qi Tian had wasted.

Just at this moment, a sparkling light suddenly shot out from Qi Tian’s eyes. He activated the Heavenly Dao Engine instantly, boosting his speed to the utmost limit. With a step forward, his fist clumsily aimed for the opening in Liu Haoshuai’s chest as he launched his sword attack and threw a punch.

The third move of the Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist – Winged Tiger Devouring the Sky.

Like the second move, Young Tiger Wind, this is also a move that values speed. However, unlike Young Tiger Wind, which can deliver three punches at once, this move completely emphasizes speed. It prioritizes delivering blows as swift as lightning.

Boom!

This move called Winged Tiger Devouring the Sky, carrying nearly a thousand pounds of force, heavily struck Liu Haoshuai’s chest, immediately sending him flying. He fell heavily to the ground four or five meters away, like a beaten sack of potatoes.

Ah!

Liu Haoshuai let out a miserable scream. He wasn’t seriously injured; his top-grade Human Grade inner armor as a Spirit Military piece played its role in neutralizing the impact of Qi Tian’s punch. However, regardless of whether he was injured or not, he could not accept this disgraceful defeat, especially from a peer. He was, after all, a rare and highly gifted individual. How could he lose?

Qi Tian glanced at Liu Haoshuai, who was immobile on the ground, feeling a bit regretful. “This guy is rich,” he thought. He hadn’t expected his heavy punch to leave Liu unscathed. If he had known, he would have put more force into it.

As Qi Tian made his way towards Liu Haoshuai, Zheng Shaosheng, fearful that Qi Tian might take reckless action, hurriedly said, “Qi Tian, don’t be impulsive. You’re young; don’t risk violating the manor rules.”

“I understand, Brother Zheng,” responded Qi Tian, who had now reached Liu Haoshuai. He kicked away Liu’s Silver Snake Sword that he had dropped and said, “You lost.” Looking down at Liu from his high position, he disdainfully added, “I thought you were a tough one, but you’re weak. You couldn’t even handle one of my punches.”

Liu Haoshuai, lying on the ground, stared at Qi Tian with eyes filled with cold, murderous intent. Never before had he been so humiliated. Qi Tian had continuously provoked him, which drove him to swear he would kill Qi Tian as an act of vengeance. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and forced out each word, “Qi Tian, I have not admitted defeat. If you dare, continue this fight. I will not hold back this time.”

“Idiot, my time is precious, and I don’t have the inordinate time to waste on you,” Qi Tian sneered. Liu Haoshuai was nothing special, and there was no value in continuing the fight. He wasn’t in the mood to argue with Liu; winning or losing was not for the latter to decide, especially after being knocked down by his punch. Qi Tian turned towards Zheng Shaosheng and smiled, “Brother Zheng, I’ve won, so it’s time you give me my bet, right?”

Liu Haoshuai couldn’t believe that Qi Tian dared to ignore him so blatantly. He felt that, in Qi Tian’s eyes, he was nothing more than an insignificant ant. Qi Tian didn’t even want to waste another word on him. Liu’s eyes filled with extreme coldness, and rage swallowed all his rational thoughts. All he could think of was his desire for Qi Tian’s immediate death. He didn’t want Qi Tian to live another second.

Liu Haoshuai sprung up from the ground, legs spread apart in a half-squatting position. If one looked closely, they could see a giant wolf engulfed in a violent flame appearing deep within his eyes.

“Kiss of the Fire Wolf.”

A brutal aura surged from Liu Haoshuai, propelling him forward like an arrow released from a bow. With a swift swing of his arm, his fist transformed into a massive flame, targeted directly at Qi Tian’s back.

Wang Mingming’s face turned pale. Now was different than before. Liu’s sudden attack would be seen as a blatant sneak attack, which was strictly forbidden in the Imperial Master Mansion. Regardless of whether it would seriously injure Qi Tian, Liu would still face severe punishment as per the manor rules. Moreover, it was evident that the move held immense power; its consequences, when struck on Qi Tian, were unimaginable. If Qi Tian were to die or be gravely injured, both Liu and themselves were bound to face dire repercussions.

“Brother Haoshuai, don’t!” Wang Mingming shouted.

Zheng Shaosheng, who had also noticed Liu’s sneak attack, hastily exclaimed, “Junior Brother, be careful!” He started to sprint towards Qi Tian, intending to save him. However, the distance between him and Qi Tian was much longer compared to the distance between Qi Tian and Liu Haoshuai. With Liu deliberately attacking out of malice and increasing his speed to the maximum, Zheng feared that by the time he got to Qi Tian, Liu’s fist would have already landed on him.
