I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 662: Chapter 492: Ambush, Talent Acquired (Part 3)

Qin Tian’s eyes narrowed, and the Thunder Saber slashed across to block.

With a crisp "clang," at the moment the fist and blade collided, gray-black mist spread along the blade but was isolated by a faint golden halo as soon as it touched his palm.

The passive effect of the Immortal Sacred Body triggered, granting near immunity to such negative forces.

But the immense force on Shengongsi Yuzuo’s fist far exceeded his expectations. Qin Tian only felt his arm go numb, his whole body retreating three steps before stabilizing.

"The Holy Blood of Tier Seven Seven Stars, truly lives up to its name." Qin Tian thought to himself. Although Shengongsi Yuzuo had not activated the Eight Trigrams form, his Spiritual Energy was as thick as a mountain, and his physical strength was not at all weak. In his current state without activating the Overlord Body, direct confrontation was not an option.

"Die!"

Shengongsi Yuzuo, unwilling to relent, suddenly enlarged his left arm, his skin covered in dark gold snake scales, fingers turning into sharp snake claws. The whole arm transformed into a snake body several meters long, biting towards Qin Tian’s head, spraying corrosive Spiritual Energy poison as its mouth opened.

Qin Tian remained calm, his body suddenly flickering as an identical figure emerged in front of him.

The Demon King Avatar had just formed when it raised the Thunder Saber to meet the snake head.

"Bang!"

The snake claws easily crushed the avatar’s head, points of Spiritual Energy scattering like shattered stars, but this brief hindrance had won Qin Tian a momentary opportunity.

Swish~

Spatial ripples appeared around Qin Tian as his figure vanished instantly.

As Shengongsi Yuzuo shattered the avatar, he paused, a warning bell ringing in his mind as he shouted, "Be careful!"

But it was all too late.

Beitiao Hezi, who was activating the Mirror Demon’s defense for Zhuge Yu, felt a chill behind him. Just as he was about to turn around, a black-purple blade light flashed by.

"Psh——" The Thunder Saber sliced through his neck like cutting through tofu, blood splattering onto the ancient bronze mirror. The mirror’s surface dimmed instantly, and the Mirror Demon’s figure dissipated.

Beitiao Hezi’s head rolled to the ground, his eyes still locked in a look of astonishment, never seeing the killer’s move even in death.

"Hezi!!!" Shengongsi Yuzuo’s roar echoed across the ice field, filled with fury and heartache.

Beitiao Hezi was not only a longtime confidant but also the team’s "eyes." With the Mirror Demon’s probing ability, he could gain the upper hand in various situations, advancing and retreating freely.

Now, with Qin Tian having beheaded Beitiao Hezi, it was akin to gouging out his eyes!

The woman in purple and the burly man froze in fright, the rhythm of their battle disrupted in an instant.

Zhuge Yu seized the opportunity, spinning the Array Plate forcefully, the remaining Eight Trigrams array patterns bursting with one last beam of cyan light, temporarily binding the two.

Qin Tian grabbed Beitiao Hezi’s body and head with one hand, absorbing them into the Spirit Space within his body, then shouted to Zhuge Yu and the others, "Retreat!"

Zhuge Yu moved his fingers rapidly, and the Frost World Stele embedded in the ice wall suddenly illuminated. Enveloped in cyan-gold light, the stele detached from the ice wall, flying into his storage ring.

Taishi Feng and Huo Yuan Sheng leaped to Qin Tian’s side simultaneously, space ripples surrounding the four as they triggered the teleportation—Qin Tian had already placed spatial coordinates in advance.

When Shengongsi Yuzuo broke through the spatial barrier to pounce, he only grabbed emptiness, watching helplessly as Qin Tian and the others vanished.

Boom!!!

A terrifying surge of black-gray Spiritual Energy erupted like a volcano; Shengongsi Yuzuo’s eyes were blood-red, his rage about to blast open his chest.

Beside him, the woman in purple and the burly man exchanged glances, eyes filled with both anger and an inextinguishable trace of fear.
