Zhao Letian bowed and spoke, then looked indifferently at Shentu Yuanbao, who was still frightened. With his master backing him, he naturally had to seize the opportunity to finish what he hadn't completed yet.
"Zhao Letian, you dare harm my brother, I, Shentu Yuanba, swear that I will tear you to pieces." Shentu Yuanba said with a grim face.
Zhao Letian remained unmoved, holding the longsword and stepping towards Shentu Yuanbao. He had already killed Shentu Yu, even if he didn't kill Shentu Yuanbao, Shentu Yuanba would not let him go, so there was no need to care about Shentu Yuanba's threats.
"Brat, you're courting death!" A powerful individual from War King City arrived and, with a bellow, launched a formidable palm seal, blasting towards Zhao Letian.
However, the moment that individual made his move, Sword Obsession casually released a sword-light, directly shattering the palm seal.
"Matters of the younger generation should be resolved by themselves, anyone who dares to interfere will be killed without mercy," Sword Obsession said coldly.
"How audacious! Do you know who we are?" The strongmen from War King City were both shocked and angry—the shock from Sword Obsession's immense strength and the rage because Sword Obsession dared to attack someone from War King City.
"I don't care who you are, if you anger me, Sword Obsession, I will kill just the same," Sword Obsession said indifferently, once a demon-level talent, he naturally had his tempers.
"The two of us, this person's strength is formidable; it seems we can only join forces," Shentu Yuanba told the strongmen from War King City.
"Indeed, let's move." The individual from War King City nodded, and then he and Shentu Yuanba lunged out at the same time from three different directions to attack Sword Obsession.
"Fools courting death," Sword Obsession shouted coldly, swinging his sword, and a vast wave of sword-light, like a whirlwind, swept through heaven and earth. With one strike, he sent Shentu Yuanba and his two cronies reeling back, leaving a deep crimson sword wound on each of their bodies that was visible to the bone.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, Zhao Letian was already audacious enough, but unexpectedly, his master, Sword Obsession, was even more so; with a single sword strike, he had defeated the three from Shentu Yuanba's side.
"How is this possible?"
"How could such a powerful martial artist exist in Qingzhou City?"
The two from War King City, looking at the wounds on their bodies, were immensely shocked and filled with disbelief, hurriedly consuming some healing pills.
At the same time, Shentu Yuanba was also very shocked; he could see that Sword Obsession's cultivation was the same as his, both at the peak of the ninth layer of Primordial Martial, yet the gap between them was not minor, which was difficult to accept.
To this outcome, the powerhouses from Iron Sword Sect, Ten Thousand Beast Sect, and Overlord Blade Villa were not surprised, as they were well aware of just how terrifying Sword Obsession was. In the past, Sword Obsession had single-handedly exterminated the other three preeminent powers from Southern Border alongside him, three demon-level geniuses—shocking Dajin Country.
They knew very well that to deal with Sword Obsession, at least someone from the Sect Martial Realm would need to act; ordinary martial artists of the high True Martial tier were simply no match for him.
"It seems that you've taken my words as Sword Obsession for nothing more than wind past your ears. If that's so, then prepare to meet your end." After defeating Shentu Yuanba and the others, Sword Obsession did not intend to stop there and walked over like the angel of death.
Shentu Yuanba and the others immediately furrowed their brows and gripped tightly onto their Spiritual Artifacts, readying themselves for a desperate fight.
"Stop." Read ahead and get updates by visiting *.
Just as tension filled the air, a deep, aged voice suddenly emanated from the City Lord Mansion. Following it, an elder in a golden robe stepped on the void and came over.
"A Sect Martial Realm powerhouse?"
"It's the Shentu Patriarch!"
The crowd cried out in shock one after another. The person who arrived was the true ruler of Qingzhou City, the patriarch of the Shentu Family.
Seeing the Shentu Patriarch appear, Zhao Wuji, Sun Family Clan Leader, and Liu Family Patriarch all had unsightly expressions. With the emergence of a Sect Martial Realm elder from the Shentu Family, the delicate balance among the four major families shifted completely. If nothing went awry, the Shentu Family would become the true emperor of Qingzhou City, with the other three families having no choice but to obey. It was precisely to avoid such a scenario that the war among the four major families had started brewing.
"A person of the Sect Martial Realm? So what?" Sword Obsession glanced at the Shentu Patriarch without a trace of fear.
"Hold on, the renowned name of Sword Obsession from Galaxy Sect is one that I am well aware of. I am not here to fight with you, but rather to have my son Yuanbao concede the battle. According to the rules of the martial contest, as long as he admits defeat and leaves the arena, Zhao Letian cannot touch him. I presume you wouldn't want to break the rules of Qingzhou City's martial contest, would you?" The Shentu Patriarch spoke.
"As long as you elders do not interfere with the younger generation's battles, all else is of no concern to me." Sword Obsession said nonchalantly, his actions today were entirely for Zhao Letian. As long as others abided by the rules and did not bully his disciple, he couldn't be bothered to lift a finger.
"Very well, Yuanbao, come down." The Shentu Patriarch nodded and said to Shentu Yuanbao who was on the arena.
"Father, Shentu Yu is your grandson, and his vengeance must be sought. I still have my trump card unplayed; the Blood Spirit Martial Soul will make this kid pay with his life for Shentu Yu. Give me another chance, if I don't kill him, my Martial Arts Heart will be affected," Shentu Yuanbao refused to admit defeat. He held his long spear and stared coldly at Zhao Letian who was approaching, with a glint of blood-red light flickering in his eyes.
The Shentu Patriarch's brows furrowed immediately, nodded helplessly after a moment. Whether they avenged Shentu Yu was secondary, the crucial part was his son Shentu Yuanbao's Martial Arts Heart, which must not be affected, as it would be detrimental to his future cultivation. He could only let Shentu Yuanbao try once more–if it came to danger, he would step in to rescue him.
"Blood Spirit Martial Soul?" Seeing a blood-red light emerging from Shentu Yuanbao's body and sensing his aura becoming more ferocious, an odd gleam suddenly flashed through Zhao Letian's eyes.
Last time, after absorbing Shentu Yu's Blood Spirit Martial Soul, the Little Snake Martial Soul was like having had a tonic, growing rapidly. Now over a meter long, it became stronger and coiled at the center of the Soul Space, pushing the Sword Martial Soul to the side.
Alas, after consuming a Blood Spirit Martial Soul once, the Little Snake Martial Soul grew uninterested in such Martial Souls; otherwise, Zhao Letian wouldn't mind absorbing Shentu Yuanbao's Blood Spirit Martial Soul today.
"Bloodthirsty Spirit Spear, kill!"
With the Blood Spirit Martial Soul boosting his speed and strength, Shentu Yuanbao's confidence swelled. Waving his long spear shrouded in blood-red spirit light, he thrust it fiercely towards Zhao Letian.
"Demon Suppression Seal, Dragon Roar Nine Sword, kill!"
Zhao Letian was undaunted. He first unleashed a Palm Seal to suppress Shentu Yuanbao, scattering the blood light around him and slowing him down as if he was trapped in a quagmire. Then he followed up with the Dragon Roar Sword Technique, slashing away Shentu Yuanbao's spear and sending a sharp sword beam straight towards Shentu Yuanbao's throat.
