Chapter 120: Chapter 120

Liu Yidao's brow furrowed, Zhao Lingfeng's strength was considerable, and without teaming up with Shentu Yuanbao, he was far from certain of knocking Zhao Lingfeng off the stage.

Fortunately, excluding Zhao Letian, the Zhao Family only had two members, and his Liu Family had three, plus two from the City Lord Mansion, they could at least blast away the other member of the Zhao Family first. As for Zhao Lingfeng, once Shentu Yuanbao dealt with Zhao Letian, he could turn around and take care of him, and that surely wouldn't take too long.

"Zhao Lingfeng, our Iron Sword Sect and your Overlord Blade Village are sworn enemies. Today, I shall see whether your iron sword is formidable, or if my overlord blade is stronger," proclaimed Liu Yidao as he drew out a spiritual treasure Horse-slaying Saber, his True Yuan power surging as he charged directly towards Zhao Lingfeng.

"Hmph! The sword is the king of weapons, how can a broken saber compete with a sword?" retorted Zhao Lingfeng, wielding his iron sword to brazenly meet the challenge.

Another person from the Zhao Family, his face ashen, also drew a longsword. Facing a four against one situation, defeat was almost certain, yet he refused to concede easily and, with resolute tenacity, sword in hand, he charged into the fray.

Simultaneously, the loose cultivators, already led by Luo Yao, clashed with Sun Shuhao and the members of the Sun Family.

On the side of the loose cultivators, with a clear numerical superiority of twelve people, they could fight four against one with the Sun Family only having three members.

However, the prodigies raised by the great families were after all incomparable to loose cultivators. Whether it was cultivation techniques, martial techniques, or spiritual artifacts, the three members of the Sun Family were able to overpower the loose cultivators. Any one of them could take on two or three loose cultivators, and even faced with the siege of four, they wouldn't collapse immediately. This content is presented by *.

Particularly Sun Shuhao, who possessed the unique Book Martial Soul called Hundred Beast Map, which contained a multitude of Spiritual Beasts. Upon invoking his martial soul, he instantly summoned over a dozen True Martial Realm Spiritual Beasts, assisting them to entangle those loose cultivators, significantly reducing the pressure on the three of them.

Fortunately for them, as the foremost loose cultivator, Luo Yao's strength was also remarkable. Holding a pair of spiritual claws, she moved swift as the wind, her attacks vicious. In a blink, she had slain three True Martial Realm Spiritual Beasts, causing Sun Shuhao considerable pain. He had no choice but to continue summoning Spiritual Beasts from the Hundred Beast Map to entangle Luo Yao. Otherwise, should Luo Yao be able to free her hands, the trio would be in danger.

"Zhao Letian, you have the guts to kill my nephew! You're bold indeed! Did you ever consider, when you acted rashly and killed out of a momentary thrill, that today, you too would be killed by me?" Shentu Yuanbao, like the Grim Reaper himself, steadily advanced. His aura climbed relentlessly, growing stronger and stronger until he finally made a breakthrough to the True Martial Fifth Realm, minor achievement, even more formidable than Yan Peng.

"No, you... can't kill me yet."

Zhao Letian countered fearlessly, drawing out a six-star low-grade spiritual weapon longsword, similarly stirring up his True Essence Power.

"Just a mere True Martial Second Realm cultivator, I really don't know where you get the confidence to contend against me. Surely you must have used some despicable tricks to kill my nephew that no one would approve of? Seven Stars Life-taking Spear, kill!" As Shentu Yuanbao's aura reached a peak, he bellowed and thrust his palm, turning it into a long spear. It shook violently, transforming into seven points of starlight, darting like falling meteors, fiercely stabbing towards Zhao Letian.

"Dragon Roar Nine Sword, slash!"

Zhao Letian, unafraid, executed five moves of the Dragon Roar Sword Technique. With four layers of Sword Force, three layers of Mystic Armor Power, and two layers of wind force, he unleashed all his trump cards, accompanied by thunderous Dragon Roar and endless Sword Qi, slashing out with his sword.

The attacks of the two collided, and the rampaging True Essence Power diffused outward, like a doomsday storm sweeping across the arena. Everyone in battle was impacted, all stopping their movements and looking over in shock.

"Evenly matched? How is this possible?"

After the dust settled, Zhao Letian's longsword was seen clashing with the tip of Shentu Yuanbao's spear. The solid ground of the platform beneath their feet was already shattered, yet neither had taken a half step back.

"What an outstanding talent of the Zhao Family."

From outside the arena, Shentu Yuanba, the Patriarch of Liu Family, the Clan Leader of Sun Family, along with Zhao Wuji, all showed expressions of disbelief that were hard to conceal. Although they had all known the news of Zhao Letian killing Shentu Yu was absolutely true, they had never imagined he could actually stand head-to-head against Shentu Yuanbao.

"A mere True Martial Second Realm, able to contend with someone who has achieved small success in the True Martial Fifth Realm; such outstanding talent in a second son, Galaxy Sect actually has such a terrifying genius appearing. If he continues to grow, he might become another unparalleled demon of legend; he must not be left alive."

The strong cultivators from Iron Sword Sect, the strong cultivators of Ten Thousand Beast Sect from the Sun Family, and the powerful figures from Liu Family's Sword Overlord Villa, while shocked, also showed intense murderous intent in their eyes.

These dominating forces had been competing for control over this region, and none of them wanted to see a demon-level genius emerge from the opponent's camp. If such a talent were allowed to grow, it would be a disaster for their sects in years to come.

They failed to kill Sword Obsession more than a decade ago; a few years ago, they failed to kill Li; and now, they absolutely could not let Zhao Letian live to return to Galaxy Sect.

Fortunately, there were no powerful members of Galaxy Sect present today; presumably, no one could stop them now. Of course, they would have to wait until after the tournament to make a move, as they still needed to respect the City Lord Mansion of Qingzhou City, especially since it was rumored that the Shentu family had recently gained a Sect Martial Realm ancestor.

At the same time, Zhao Lingshan, Zhao Shijie, and others below the stage were also dumbstruck with shock. Shentu Yuanbao was a powerhouse they could only look up to, yet Zhao Letian was already able to stand against him without falling short, making their peers feel very complicated.

As for Liu Fei, her face was ashen; if even Shentu Yuanbao could not kill Zhao Letian, wouldn't it mean that only someone of her father's high-level True Martial rank would have to take action?

But if a high-level True Martial individual were to act against a mere sixteen-year-old youth, they would undoubtedly be despised, and if Zhao Yixin learned that someone had bullied her son using their advantage, she would certainly not let it go easily. Nobody wanted to provoke this extraordinary woman of the Zhao Family.

Meanwhile, although Liu Wei had always had confidence in Zhao Letian, witnessing him stand his ground against a great talent of the former generation still genuinely excited her.

"You actually managed to take a hit from my spear without dying?" Shentu Yuanbao was more shocked than anyone; he was acutely aware of his own strength. On the battlefield, his peers simply could not withstand a casual strike from his spear, yet Zhao Letian, this youngster from the True Martial Second Realm, had withstood his full-powered strike. This was utterly against the natural order.

"Demon Suppression Seal!"

Zhao Letian was also quite astonished but did not stop there. Seizing the moment while Shentu Yuanbao was still in a daze, he flipped his hand and struck out with a powerful palm seal outlined by the array patterns, directly blasting towards Shentu Yuanbao.
