Ji Qiang looked at Lu Tianheng with a solemn expression and said, "Commander Lu, are you sure you want to kill me?"
Lu Tianheng was too lazy to waste any more words with Ji Qiang. He had been chasing him for so long, did he really think he would let him go just because of a few words? Lu Tianheng threw a punch directly at Ji Qiang.
A roaring burst of energy from a fist transformed into a tiger and lunged directly at Ji Qiang.
Before Ji Qiang could draw his Watersplitter Pike, he condensed his hands and a large Yuan Qi sword appeared. With a swift slash, a beam of light appeared, directly splitting Lu Tianheng's tiger-shaped attack in two.
Lu Tianheng didn't care at all. Then, his figure began to float, and the surrounding energy gathered towards him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ji Qiang quickly drew out the Watersplitter Pike from his body and casually slashed it, sending a gust of wind towards Lu Tianheng.
Faced with Ji Qiang's attack, Lu Tianheng transformed his large hand into a fist and casually threw a punch.
"Bang!" The wind from the fist and the wind force of the Watersplitter Pike Thrust dissipated in the air together.
Lu Tianheng flashed forward and appeared in front of Ji Qiang, continuing to throw a punch at Ji Qiang's front.
Ji Qiang held the Watersplitter Pike in both hands and slashed downwards. Although he managed to deflect Lu Tianheng's fist, he was still forced to retreat several steps by the impact.
Finally, unable to bear the churning of his blood and qi, he coughed up a mouthful of hot blood.
Judging from these consecutive attacks, Ji Qiang was clearly at a disadvantage, and these attacks were just casual attacks by Lu Tianheng.
This made Ji Qiang feel a little scared, as he already knew that there was a big gap in strength between him and Peak Grandmaster.
However, when he actually fought against Peak Grandmaster, he realized just how vast the gap in strength between them truly was.
However, now it's all about survival, so even knowing he can't win, he has to fight desperately.
Ji Qiang held the Watersplitter Pike in both hands and activated the mental cultivation technique at its maximum speed, causing the surrounding energy to converge on him.
Lu Tianheng watched Ji Qiang silently. He wasn't in a hurry at all. He wanted to wait until Ji Qiang had unleashed his full strength before destroying his confidence in one fell swoop.
That's the only way to have a chance to capture him alive. Otherwise, if the other party sees that he can't escape and decides to self-destruct, he won't be able to handle it.
Ji Qiang saw that Lu Tianheng did not interrupt him from gathering his energy, but he did not think much of it. He assumed that Lu Tianheng was just arrogant about his strength.
I never imagined that he was afraid he would choose to self-destruct if he felt there was no hope of escaping.
The vital energy gathered by Ji Qiang gradually condensed into a strange Exotic Beast that resembled neither a tiger nor a cat.
"Chirp!" A strange cry came from the mouth of the strange Exotic Beast, which then pounced directly at Lu Tianheng.
Sensing this fierce attack, Lu Tianheng's expression became slightly serious, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Lu Tianheng clasped his hands together, and a faint red light emanated from them, causing a large, blood-red sword to appear out of thin air.
After the Crimson Greatsword appeared, Lu Tianheng wielded it with both hands and slashed it forcefully. With a "whoosh!" sound, the arm of the strange Exotic Beast that came to block him was severed.
Ji Qiang, on the other hand, collapsed to the ground as if struck by a heavy blow.
It turned out that Lu Tianheng's Crimson Greatsword not only severed the forearm of his Yuanqi Beast, but also absorbed some of the Yuanqi Beast's Yuanqi energy.
This resulted in Ji Qiang suffering a severe blow to his internal dantian and Divine Sense sea, a blow from which he had no chance to retaliate.
This was a significant blow to Ji Qiang, who had originally thought that he could use his Yuan Qi Beast Transformation to withstand Lu Tianheng's attack.
As a result, Lu Tianheng shattered his illusions with just a casual move.
In fact, Ji Qiang overestimated Lu Tianheng. Although Lu Tianheng's move seemed like a casual swipe, he actually used his full strength.
Because he had already used the special technique he had been cultivating, and he had even brought out the devouring properties of this special technique.
However, this devouring characteristic surprised Lu Tianheng. He did not expect that Ji Qiang's Yuan Qi Beast contained so much spiritual power.
Lu Tianheng felt as if he had just taken a powerful tonic, his whole body brimming with energy.
Then Lu Tianheng swung his knife at Ji Qiang again. Ji Qiang endured the headache and began to dodge Lu Tianheng's attack.
He dared not confront Lu Tianheng with his body like he did with Jiang Liu, because he was afraid that Lu Tianheng would break through his physical defenses.
He could very well be cleaved in two by Lu Tianheng's blade.
Ji Qiang then continued to gather vital energy to complete the vital energy incarnation of the strange Exotic Beast.
He's now in a bind, he has no choice but to fight for his life. He can't escape, and he can't win a fight. What else can he do but fight for his life?
Perhaps, when I fight with all my might, Lu Tianheng will back down.
Unfortunately, Ji Qiang was ultimately overthinking things.
Seeing that Ji Qiang was no longer running away, Lu Tianheng decided to slowly employ a war of attrition against Ji Qiang.
With one strike, a part of Ji Qiang's Yuan Qi Beast was chopped off. After Ji Qiang replenished it, the strike was repeated.
Only after beating Ji Qiang to exhaustion did Lu Tianheng step forward and control Ji Qiang's dantian to prevent him from self-destructing, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
You should know that he went to such great lengths to capture Ji Qiang and the other Grandmaster alive.
Now that Ji Qiang has been captured alive, the remaining Ji Xingfeng will be easy to catch.
Lu Tianheng grabbed Ji Qiang and headed towards the place where Ji Xingfeng was fighting his two men.
When Lu Tianheng arrived at the battlefield, he saw that Ji Xingfeng was also exhausted and weak.
Lu Tianheng immediately stepped forward and sealed Ji Xingfeng's dantian, then casually tossed Ji Qiang and Ji Xingfeng together.
It turned out that his two Grandmaster, in order to impress him, resorted to desperate measures to force Ji Xingfeng to stay.
This left Ji Xingfeng with no way to escape, and in the end, he had no choice but to fight these two Grandmaster to the death.
After this fierce battle, all three of them were exhausted and powerless.
However, Lu Tianheng's two subordinates were in a better situation than Ji Xingfeng, since it was two against one.
Seeing this, Lu Tianheng was immediately satisfied and said to his two subordinates, "Yu Qi, He Baiyi, you did a good job this time. I will reward you according to your merits when we get back."
Yu Qi and He Baiyi's faces immediately lit up with joy. They had been working so hard just to earn the commander's praise.
Despite their exhaustion, the two men bowed respectfully to Lu Tianheng and said, "Serving the Commander is our duty."
Lu Tianheng nodded in satisfaction and then gestured to the two of them.
Afterwards, the three of them sat cross-legged and began to recover the energy they had lost in the battle.
About an hour later, the three of them finished their practice and stood up. Then Yu Qi and He Baiyi, carrying Ji Xingfeng and Ji Qiang, continued to follow the traces left by Chen Qiansong.
Lu Tianheng was not satisfied with just capturing Ji Qiang and Ji Xingfeng alive; he wanted to capture all four Grandmaster in one fell swoop.
