Zhang Kaitao's veins bulged on his face, a flash of terror in his eyes.
Great Martial Master!
Absolutely a Great Martial Master level powerhouse!
How could such a powerhouse be lurking in this forsaken place, and even try to attack me!
Zhang Kaitao had no time to think much, using all his strength to try to dodge the palm strike.
But Jia Liebi was not like Chen Tuqiang. As a Great Martial Master level powerhouse and a Wind-Attribute Battler, their speeds were not even in the same league.
Even though Zhang Kaitao had already tightened his nerves after Chen Tuqiang's attack, he could only avoid the vital points and could not completely evade.
Zhang Kaitao gritted his teeth, frantically channeling the martial qi within his body. Martial Qi Veil! Mystic Armor!
A layer of martial qi appeared on Zhang Kaitao's body, and another wave of martial qi condensed into an armor-like form, enveloping his upper body.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, Zhang Kaitao was sent flying by Jia Liebi, crashing through the wall and landing on the ground.
Zhang Kaitao struggled to get up from the ground, the armor and martial qi veil on his body completely dissipating.
Zhang Kaitao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, staring intently at the person in front of him.
Jia Liebi!
Zhang Kaitao was a notable figure in Wu Tan City, and he had once met Jia Liebi at an auction in the Mittel Auction House.
Damn it, why would this bastard be here? Isn't he busy trying to recruit mercenary groups to fight the Xiao Family?!
A hint of gloom flashed in Zhang Kaitao's eyes.
If it weren't for the protection of the martial qi veil and the high-yellow-rank martial skill Mystic Armor, he would have lost his combat ability even if he had survived by chance.
Zhang Kaitao forced a grim smile, bowing to Jia Liebi.
"Clan Head Jia, I wonder if there's some misunderstanding here?"
Jia Liebi smiled sinisterly.
"Misunderstanding? There's no misunderstanding. I came here today specifically for you."
Zhang Kaitao's heart skipped a beat. The people he had sensed earlier now emerged from the shadows, surrounding him and cutting off all escape routes!
Damn it! That servant didn't go to fetch an arrow; he went to report and call for reinforcements to surround him.
The bald innkeeper's politeness was just to buy time, to cut off all his escape routes.
He was now a fish in a barrel!
Zhang Kaitao subconsciously touched the quiver at his waist.
No, this distance, he probably wouldn't even be able to draw his bow before Jia Liebi reached him.
Zhang Kaitao felt a sense of helplessness, took a deep breath, and secretly took a pill from a small compartment in the quiver, holding it in his hand.
"What does Clan Head Jia want?
Skills, martial techniques, everything I know I can hand over to you, including my Low Mystic-Rank Martial Skill: Mystic Wood Arrow.
Spare me, and I can serve the Jia Clan with my life!
The value of a living person is definitely greater than that of a dead one!"
Zhang Kaitao's voice was loud, trying to persuade Jia Liebi to spare him.
"Hah."
Jia Liebi smiled sinisterly.
No, you are more valuable to me dead!
Jia Liebi looked at Zhang Kaitao with a fiery gaze, like a lecherous man looking at a naked beauty.
A Rank 4 Elixir, what is a martial artist worth?
Jia Liebi had already tasted the benefits.
The Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill given to him by Master Han, he had already taken it.
Now he was a six-star Great Martial Master.
He had already found out that the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill could be taken twice.
If he could capture the Zhang Kaitao in front of him, he just needed to gather the ingredients.
Master Han could definitely refine another Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill for him.
No!
Jia Liebi seemed to think of something else.
Three-Stripe Green Spirit Pill!
He wanted the Three-Stripe Green Spirit Pill, a pill that could help him break through to the three-star level. Even if there was a risk of backlash, it didn't matter.
Wealth and honor come from taking risks.
If he succeeded, he could become a nine-star Great Martial Master!
After a few more years, or if he could get Master Han to refine more pills for him, he could become a Soul Battlemaster!
Jia Liebi indulged in his fantasies for a moment before snapping back to reality.
"I don't need you to serve the Jia Clan. I just want one thing from you, and I'll leave and let you go."
Jia Liebi felt he had the upper hand and decided to play with his prey.
"What thing?"
Zhang Kaitao asked cautiously.
"Your head!"
Jia Liebi let out a cackling laugh, simultaneously channeling the martial qi within his body.
A wave of martial qi swirled around Jia Liebi, gradually forming a martial qi armor.
Step by step, he approached Zhang Kaitao.
Zhang Kaitao almost ground his teeth to pieces. This old man was truly despicable!!
Feeling the injuries in his body and seeing Jia Liebi approaching, Zhang Kaitao steeled his resolve, a look of madness flashing in his eyes.
He swallowed the pill in his hand, and immediately a violent aura emanated from his body.
This martial qi fluctuation!
A hint of unease flashed in Jia Liebi's mind, his expression turning serious, and he dared not be careless.
With a swift motion, he attacked Zhang Kaitao.
Wind Shape Palm!
Zhang Kaitao's face twisted into a mad grin.
The pill he had just swallowed was a Third-Rank Pill, the Explosive Flame Pill.
It was a pill used for desperate situations, capable of temporarily boosting one's strength to the Great Martial Master level.
However, it had side effects. Once the effects wore off, his strength would not only revert to the martial artist level, but his foundation would also be damaged, making it impossible for him to ever break through to the Great Martial Master level.
If it weren't for a life-or-death situation, he would never have taken this pill.
Zhang Kaitao did not choose to confront Jia Liebi head-on.
Jia Liebi was a well-known Great Martial Master, and Zhang Kaitao was only temporarily at this level due to the pill. Even one-on-one, he had no chance of winning.
Not to mention, there were still many people nearby watching him like hawks.
Zhang Kaitao's eyes darted around, finding a relatively weak link, and charged in that direction.
With the help of the pill, he could also use martial qi armor for a short time, but the martial qi on his body was unstable, the armor flickering in and out of existence, clearly not as solid as Jia Liebi's.
Zhang Kaitao charged into the crowd. A Great Martial Master was still a Great Martial Master, even if his strength was greatly watered down, he was not someone a martial artist or martial practitioner could withstand.
Zhang Kaitao moved like a fish in water, quickly taking down three people. The remaining people continued to resist, preventing him from escaping.
Jia Liebi was furious and immediately adjusted his direction, charging towards Zhang Kaitao again.
Zhang Kaitao caught a glimpse of Jia Liebi out of the corner of his eye and snorted.
Wind Shape Palm!
Jia Liebi only had this one move, and there was no way around it. Wu Tan City was a small place, and there weren't many high-level martial techniques for him to learn.
Zhang Kaitao grabbed someone with both hands and used them as a shield.
Jia Liebi's eyes widened in horror. This was an elder of the Jia Clan, a martial artist.
Jia Liebi couldn't retract his martial qi in time and had to strike the elder.
The elder died on the spot.
