"Four...fourth rank? A fourth rank at this age?"

"And with such strong combat capabilities, he managed to kill a third-tier demon amidst so many surrounding demons?"

"Which family of the Knights Temple is this descendant of?"

On the treetop, the man in white robes stared blankly at Qi Tian on the ground, his eyes filled with shock.

He definitely misjudged the situation.

He never expected that the young man in front of him was actually a fourth-level expert, and his strength far exceeded that of ordinary people!

"This person is using both the Ascension Array of a Retribution Knight and the Holy Light Shield of a Guardian Knight. Is he practicing dual cultivation?"

"Perhaps I don't even need to lift a finger; this young demon could wipe them all out on his own!"

Meanwhile, Cai'er, hidden in the bushes, kept her eyes fixed on Qi Tian's movements, her eyes filled with worry and other emotions!

…………

On the battlefield, Qi Tian's eyes turned completely cold.

He no longer holds back.

The fourth-tier Grand Knight unleashed his full spiritual power, a pale golden aura enveloping his entire body. Although it was not as solid as the fifth-tier Earth Knight's "Spiritual Qi," it was sufficient to deal with these werewolves.

Charge!

His figure transformed into a golden afterimage, advancing instead of retreating, crashing into the densest part of the wolf pack.

Shield blocks the recoil!

The wooden sword was held horizontally in front of his chest, and spiritual energy formed an illusory shield-shaped light screen on the sword.

The two Tier 3 werewolves' attacks collided with the light shield, but instead of shaking Lin Feng in the slightest, the recoil made his bones numb and his movements sluggish.

It was that momentary delay.

The wooden sword struck twice, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue.

puff!puff!

The sword tip pierced precisely into the eye sockets, penetrating the skull. The two third-tier werewolves died instantly without uttering a sound.

[First kill of a Tier 3 demon, Inner Spirit Power +10 points]

The system notification flashed before his eyes, but Qi Tian had no time to look at it closely.

He moved swiftly, like the Grim Reaper dancing among wolves.

Every step he took was in the most unlikely position, every sword strike was aimed at the most fatal weakness. He used the wooden sword and the short sword with unparalleled skill, leaving the demons no time to react.

Elbow joint, knee joint, temple, third vertebra at the back of the neck, intercostal space three inches above the heart...

There are no fancy combat techniques, only the most basic, honed skills of thrusting, parrying, pointing, and slashing.

But each strike contains an explosion of fourth-order spiritual power, as well as an ultimate understanding of biological structure.

A fourth-tier demon werewolf roared, its claws clashing as it tore at the ground, demonic energy forming two intersecting black blades—this was its innate ability, Rending Wind Claw!

Qi Tian neither dodged nor evaded, but raised his wooden sword, and the spiritual power on the sword body gathered wildly, transforming into a solid golden shield.

Clang! Clang!

The blade struck the small shield, sparks flying. The ground beneath Qi Tian's feet cracked, yet he did not retreat an inch.

In the instant the blade's power was exhausted, he flicked his wrist, and the wooden sword flowed upstream along the trajectory of the blade's power, its tip skimming the water like a dragonfly, touching the werewolf's throat before retracting.

The werewolf's claws froze in mid-air, a small bloody hole appearing in its throat.

It staggered backward, clutching its neck with both hands, its demonic energy dissipated, and it collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Another fourth-tier beast, dead.

The remaining werewolves finally felt fear.

This human knight's skill level was clearly comparable to theirs, or even slightly inferior, but his fighting style was terrifyingly bizarre—he could always evade attacks with minimal movement and inflict fatal wounds in the least effortful way.

It was as if... he already knew all the weaknesses of every werewolf's body.

"withdraw!"

The other fourth-tier werewolf let out a low growl, showing signs of retreat.

"Want to leave now? Too late!"

Qi Tian's voice rang out coldly.

He suddenly planted the wooden sword in the ground and formed a simple hand seal in front of his chest—the Ascension Formation.

A surge of powerful spiritual energy poured into the earth, causing the ground within a ten-meter radius of him to tremble slightly, like an earthquake, disrupting the werewolf's retreat.

The next moment, he drew his sword and continued to use his charge skill, unleashing lightning strikes with both his wooden sword and short sword.

kill!

His figure moved like golden lightning through the wolf pack. The werewolves, having lost their will to fight, crumbled in disarray.

With each flash of the sword light, a werewolf would fall with a howl, either with its joints broken or its vital organs pierced.

Ten breaths.

In just ten breaths.

The last tier-three werewolf that tried to escape was pierced through the back by a wooden sword, pinned to the ground, twitched twice, and then lay still.

Qi Tian stood leaning on his sword, slightly out of breath, as the pale golden aura of spiritual energy around him slowly receded.

Thirteen werewolf corpses lay scattered around, their blood soaking the soil and emitting a pungent stench.

Qi Tian scanned the surroundings and, finding no other enemies, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

at the same time,

[First kill of a fourth-tier demon of the same rank, Inner Spirit Power +10 points]

[Slay a fourth-tier demon, inner spiritual power +1 point]

[Slay a fourth-tier demon, inner spiritual power +1 point]

[Slay ten Tier 3 demons to gain +1 point of Inner Spirit Power]

Hearing the system's notification of increased spiritual power, Qi Tian's face lit up with joy, and he turned to look at where Cai'er was hiding.

Suddenly, a deep voice rang out behind him, making him tremble:

"Heh, his skills are passable, but he's still too young!"

Upon hearing this voice, Qi Tian's expression changed drastically, his hair stood on end, and cold sweat poured down his back.

This was the first time he had ever felt threatened by death!

He couldn't even sense the approaching person, which proved that the enemy was much stronger than him, and close combat would be extremely disadvantageous for him.

Moreover, he didn't know that the enemy was a demon or an assassin who was with Cai'er.

He tensed his legs, ready to jump forward and create distance.

An arm appeared in the corner of his right eye, striking towards his neck with incredible speed, making his heart tighten.

He could only leap forward with all his might.

"Hmm, this is interesting!"

The man in white robes was also surprised by Qi Tian's quick reaction. His attack with his right hand missed, which took him aback. Then, he dodged.

He arrived to Qi Tian's left and delivered a heavy blow with his right hand.

Qi Tian only heard this one sound before a tremendous force struck the left side of his neck, causing his vision to go black and him to fall to the ground.

Meanwhile, Cai'er, who was hiding, got up and prepared to climb out after seeing Qi Tian kill those demons, but she was no match for the white-robed man.

She had just stood up when she saw Qi Tian being knocked unconscious on the ground by that person.

Seeing this, Cai'er became extremely anxious, her eyes flashed with murderous intent, and a layer of dark red light shone on her body.

Seeing Cai'er's change, the man in white robes' expression shifted slightly. In a flash, he appeared beside Cai'er, tucking her under his arm, and said helplessly:

"Don't worry, I didn't hurt him. I just knocked him unconscious so he wouldn't see what I look like!"

"This person is a fourth-tier knight, with considerable strength. If we don't knock him unconscious, he might retaliate and injure him!"

Upon hearing this, Cai'er stared straight at the man in white.

Seeing Cai'er's expression, the man in white shook his head helplessly, then went to Qi Tian's side, squatted down, and briefly searched Qi Tian's body before frowning and saying:

"That's strange. This person is a fourth-tier Grand Knight with such strong inner spiritual power, but why do I sense that his innate inner spiritual power is not strong? What could be the reason?"

(Note: Innate spiritual power can only be detected by equipment; it cannot be detected by perception alone. For example, even when Han Qian was in close contact with Long Haochen, he did not know the specific amount of Long Haochen's innate spiritual power. It was only when Han Yu and Long Haochen formed a vassal knight alliance that he found out.)

Upon hearing this, Cai'er quickly gestured a few times to ask him a question.

"His future achievements? It's hard to say. I can't see through him either. Judging from the talent I sense, he's already at the fourth rank at this age. He has a bright future ahead of him, but there's also a good chance he'll only reach the fourth rank of Grand Knight!"

"But once he breaks through the fourth tier, he'll be at least a sixth-tier knight in the future!"
