CHAPTER 1182: CHAPTER 1178: UNLEASHING FULL POWER

"Hehehe~~~ exactly like this!" Zheng Lun said smugly, "The elders didn’t kill you because of such purpose, and that’s why they spared the Thirteen Guards like Tian Liu, who leaked Black Hole Clan’s confidential information.

However, more than a year ago, when Tian Shisan died in battle, the elders realized that the Thirteen Guards might encounter unforeseen events, so after retrieving Tian Shisan’s body, they started researching clones of the Thirteen Guards.

Yet due to limited time, only the clones of the deceased Tian Shisan, Tian Yi, and Tian Er were created, while the cloning of the rest of the Thirteen Guards hasn’t been completed, so from Tian San to Tian Shi’er, no matter what wrongs they commit, the elders turn a blind eye. The purpose is to let these Thirteen Guards without clones live well, so when the grand plan is launched, they can be gathered together!"

"So that’s how it is..."

Tian Qi nodded silently; the doubts in his heart were finally resolved.

Why didn’t the elders bury Tian Shisan after his death but transported his body to the lab; why were he and Tian Liu safe despite their betrayal of the Black Hole Clan; why was Tian Er silenced after defeat, why didn’t the elders even recover Tian Yi’s body...

After becoming one of the Thirteen Guards, the medicines injected by the elders, which he originally thought were beneficial for cultivation, turned out to have put him on the sacrificial altar of the Black Hole Clan from that very moment!

Thinking about once longing for the identity of the Thirteen Guards and how quite a few of the Thirteen Guards were kept in the dark, Tian Qi’s heart filled with hatred, wishing to tear the elders of the Black Hole Clan into pieces!

Zheng Lun saw the change in Tian Qi’s expression and appeared even more complacent!

"What’s wrong, Tian Qi, right now, do you really want to kill us? Kill the elders of the Black Hole Clan? Unfortunately, the current you can’t achieve anything! You can’t defeat us, let alone the elders!

The only fate that awaits you now is to be defeated by me and Chen Qi and taken back to the south city, and in a little while, you will become a glorious sacrifice of our Black Hole Clan, offering your life!"

As he spoke, Zheng Lun raised the black knife in his hand, and Chen Qi followed suit, facing Tian Qi with the black knife.

The strength of these two imperial guards was formidable. In the exchange with Tian Qi earlier, they hadn’t expended much energy, so now they could fully exert their strength... whereas Tian Qi, in his relentless assault, had greatly depleted his stamina, causing the scales of victory to tilt towards Zheng Lun and Chen Qi...

"Tian Qi, watch out!"

Zheng Lun shouted loudly, swinging the black knife, yet instead of slashing directly at Tian Qi, he used the black knife to send a wave of blade energy rushing straight at him.

"Crash!"

With a loud crash, the blade energy exploded in front of Tian Qi, sending his body flying, and the garments on him became tattered due to the attack.

"It’s my turn!"

After Zheng Lun’s attack, Chen Qi immediately stepped up, stabbed the black knife into the ground, and his strength flowed with the knife into the ground.

And this force, unerringly, headed straight for Tian Qi!

"Crash!"

The ground beneath Tian Qi’s feet exploded again. Having been injured by Zheng Lun’s attack, and further harmed by Chen Qi’s attack, his injuries worsened.

The powerful force of the exploding ground flipped Tian Qi’s body upward, and he fell heavily to the ground again...

Seeing this, both Zheng Lun and Chen Qi couldn’t help but sneer coldly.

"Hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph~~~~~ Tian Qi, now you have no room to struggle, do you?"

"Be obedient and come back with us. Although you’re a sacrifice of the elders, you can still live a few more days before the Black Hole Clan’s grand plan is realized!"

After all, they needed to take Tian Qi back alive, so they couldn’t kill him. Seeing that Tian Qi was already on the verge of death, they stopped attacking him.

However, just when they thought Tian Qi was no longer able to resist, he, heavily wounded, staggered to his feet.

Zheng Lun raised an eyebrow slightly, strangely saying, "Truly a stubborn woman. If you just lay there playing dead, you would suffer no further pain! But you insist on getting up, so I’ll have to break all your limbs!"

"Break my limbs? I’m afraid it won’t be that easy!" Tian Qi sneered, "I originally thought that after cultivating, I could somewhat resist the elders, but I didn’t expect to still be at the level of the imperial guards!"

"The level of the imperial guards?"

Regarding Tian Qi’s statement, Zheng Lun sneered disdainfully!

"Tian Qi, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t speak recklessly. At such a moment, how can you not watch your words! By saying so, aren’t you claiming you can stand equal against the two of us?"

Tian Qi smiled again, looking at Zheng Lun and Chen Qi...

"If I hadn’t taken the secret potion of Tianmen, I might have only fought you two to a draw, but now, I somewhat have a chance to defeat you both!"

As she spoke, Tian Qi began to slowly release the hidden power within her.

As Tian Qi mentioned, after finishing her cultivation, her strength was probably only enough to draw with Zheng Lun and Chen Qi, but after taking the Carefree Pill, her strength improved significantly.

And now, what Tian Qi was displaying was precisely the enhanced strength after consuming the Carefree Pill!

The effect of the Carefree Pill can significantly enhance the strength within a Martial Artist, and it was the same for Tian Qi...

The mighty Power of Death caused the surrounding air to solidify!

Zheng Lun and Chen Qi couldn’t help but feel their hearts race!

"What’s going on? This woman, does she have such strong power?"

"Why didn’t her power have this oppressive feeling earlier?"

Even Zheng Lun and Chen Qi, members of the West Wind Elder Imperial Guard, felt an intense pressure. This oppression made their breathing become rapid.

"Don’t panic! That woman is just trying to intimidate us. Although we don’t know how she obtained such a strong Power of Death, once her energy is exhausted, she won’t stand a chance against us!"

"That’s right! The final victory will only be ours, it can never be hers!"

Comforting each other, Zheng Lun and Chen Qi watched as Tian Qi unleashed all the power within her body.

This time, Tian Qi held nothing back in front of the two imperial guards...

Tian Qi slowly raised her hand, pointing her index finger at Zheng Lun!

Zheng Lun knew that Tian Qi intended to attack him with a black Qi Force, and he immediately placed a black blade across his chest.

"Tian Qi, it’s useless. Your Qi Force cannot penetrate the black blade!"

But Tian Qi remained silent, as a powerful blast of energy shot out from her index finger.

"Swish!"

The speed of the black Qi Force was extremely fast, reaching Zheng Lun in an instant, as he defended with the sturdy black blade!

"Crash!"

Zheng Lun had originally believed, with the hardness of the black blade, supported by his Power of Death, that he could definitely deflect Tian Qi’s black Qi Force. However, he never expected that this strike from Tian Qi was far more powerful than before, and under the force of the Qi, the sturdy black blade shattered instantly!

"This... this is impossible... Even a Life Weapon couldn’t shatter the black blade..."

Zheng Lun was shocked beyond belief. Tian Qi’s black Qi Force was so powerful, he hadn’t anticipated it.

"Zheng Lun, I’ve already said, being content with the power you have, staying stagnant and never advancing, is the behavior of a frog at the bottom of a well! The entire Black Hole Clan is like you, with corrupted and decayed ideals. Only a revolution can save the Black Hole Clan!"

Tian Qi said coldly, as the black Qi Force from her index finger burst forth again.

The speed was incredibly fast and the power was immensely strong. With his black blade shattered, how could Zheng Lun resist?

"Crash!"

This time, it wasn’t the black blade that shattered, but Zheng Lun’s head. The black Qi Force struck directly at Zheng Lun’s head, causing it to explode instantly.

Brains splattered, flesh and blood became a blur, not even gods could save him...

Zheng Lun’s death was terrifying, and when the other imperial guard Chen Qi saw it, he was naturally frightened!

"Tian Qi... How could you become so strong?"

Chen Qi stammered, seeing that Tian Qi’s strength had far surpassed his own, he no longer dared to linger before her and immediately made a run for it, using his Qinggong to flee at full speed.

"..."

Tian Qi silently watched Chen Qi’s escaping figure without pursuing.

What was most important now was to rendezvous with Ye Tian and the other brothers, not to chase after deserters...

In the battle just now with Zheng Lun and Chen Qi, although Tian Qi won, her mood was not good.

Initially, Tian Qi did not exert her full strength, deliberately concealing the power boost she gained from the Carefree Pill, but she found that she could not defeat Zheng Lun and Chen Qi from the imperial guard this way.

Only at the end, after fighting with all her strength, did she defeat her opponents with overwhelming power...

This meant that she no longer held any cards in front of these enemies!

If she had to use all her strength even against two imperial guards, just how powerful were the elders of the Black Hole Clan?

In the upcoming battles, Tian Qi very much wanted to assist Ye Tian, but now it seemed that she was probably still quite far from that goal...
