Chapter 124: Chapter 124

Sword Obsession's remark instantly intimidated both the Patriarch of Sun Family and the Sun Family Ancestor.

Sword Obsession's strength was beyond doubt, and even the Shentu Family Ancestor of the Sect Martial Realm was no match for him, let alone the Patriarch of Sun Family and the Sun Family Ancestor. If Sword Obsession wanted to kill them, their only path was death, and the revenge for Sun Shuhao would have to be sought later.

"Letian, continue, don't be afraid. Deal with the matters on the arena by yourself, and leave the matters off the arena to your master," Sword Obsession said to Zhao Letian.

"Okay." Zhao Letian nodded, casually swung out a surge of sword energy, killed the man in black whose cultivation was depleted, collected the belongings of the man in black and Sun Shuhao, and then looked towards Shentu Yuanbao again.

"Liuyidao, I'll help you kill Zhao Lingfeng first, then we'll join forces against Zhao Letian," Shentu Yuanbao suddenly brandished his spear, rushing towards Zhao Lingfeng.

"Want to kill me? Dream on, Sword Shield!" Zhao Lingfeng roared in rage, suddenly thrust his black iron greatsword in front of him, and a shield of True Yuan emerged on the blade of the sword, bouncing off the attacks of both Shentu Yuanbao and Liuyidao.

"This is the Defensive Secret Technique of the Iron Sword Sect, only a Core Disciple is eligible to cultivate it. Unexpectedly, Zhao Lingfeng has managed to learn it, which shows that he is greatly valued by the Iron Sword Sect."

Among the crowd, an experienced onlooker exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmph, such a Defensive Secret Technique consumes a significant amount of True Essence Power, I'd like to see how many more times you can use it!" Shentu Yuanbao snorted coldly and wielded his spear again, charging at Zhao Lingfeng.

At the same time, Liuyidao also swung his Horse-slaying Saber, joining in the assault on Zhao Lingfeng.

As for Luo Yao, she was aiding the remaining two Loose Cultivators, defeating the last elder youth from the Liu Family and City Lord Mansion, and then she stood quietly to the side to watch the battle. She was waiting for the opportunity, and if there was a chance, she wouldn't mind blasting all these individuals from the four great families off the stage.

"Zhao Letian, what are you doing? Hurry up and come help me," Zhao Lingfeng said anxiously while fending off the attacks from Shentu Yuanbao and Liuyidao.

Zhao Letian had already raised his longsword, ready to strike at Shentu Yuanbao, but upon hearing Zhao Lingfeng's words, his brow furrowed and he hesitated for a moment.

He was supposed to deal with Shentu Yuanbao, but Zhao Lingfeng's commanding tone was extremely irksome to him. To him, it made little difference whether Shentu Yuanbao and Liuyidao teamed up or not, and he didn't mind waiting for Yuanbao and Liu Yidao to blast Zhao Lingfeng off the stage before making a move.

"Damn! This bastard." Zhao Lingfeng was both frantic and furious.

"Luo Yao, take those two Loose Cultivators and keep Zhao Lingfeng busy for me. I know you are in dire need of cultivation resources. Help me this time, and after the martial tournament is over, the City Lord Mansion will surely bestow upon you ample cultivation resources. They might even recruit you as a Guest Elder for the City Lord Mansion, free from constraints yet enjoying generous treatment," Shentu Yuanbao, oblivious to Zhao Letian's thoughts, feared that Zhao Letian would make a sudden move, so he wanted to get rid of Zhao Lingfeng quickly and then join forces with Liu Yidao to deal with Zhao Letian.

"Miss Luo Yao, what should we do?" The two Loose Cultivators immediately showed eager eyes; the promises from the City Lord Mansion were very tempting.

"Keep Zhao Lingfeng busy," Luo Yao said without hesitation. She was unacquainted with those on the stage; she came to the martial tournament today to seek cultivation resources. Whoever offered her benefits, she'd help them. Moreover, Shentu Yuanbao had even promised her the position of a Guest Elder for the City Lord Mansion, which meant she no longer had to worry about cultivation resources in the future.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

As soon as the words ended, Luo Yao led the remaining two Loose Cultivators, taking over for Shentu Yuanbao and Liuyidao, to attack Zhao Lingfeng.

With his opponents switched, Zhao Lingfeng felt relieved instead. In his view, facing the trio of Luo Yao was much better than dealing with Shentu Yuanbao and Liuyidao.

In the meantime, Shentu Yuanbao and Liuyidao split up, attacking Zhao Letian from the left and right respectively.

"Zhao Letian, you've tarnished my sister's reputation; today, in front of the entire city, I will cut you down to avenge Feifei and wash away her humiliation," Liu Yidao stared coldly at Zhao Letian, his eyes brimming with undisguised murderous intent.

"What lowly things your sister did, she knows best in her heart—no need for me to speak of them. If you wish to kill me, you'd better bring out your family's ace in the hole. Otherwise, you'll end up just like Sun Shuhao," Zhao Letian said indifferently.

"No need for idle talk, Seven Stars Life-taking Spear, kill!" Shentu Yuanbao shouted sternly, wielding his long spear and charging at Zhao Letian.

"Dominance of the Sword, Behead!" Liu Yidao also swung his Horse-slaying Saber, attacking from another direction, closing in for the pincer attack.

"You think to double-team me? Are you fast enough? Foolish, Demon Suppression Seal, die!" Zhao Letian sneered disdainfully, ignoring Shentu Yuanbao's attack. His figure flickered, moving like a phantom towards Liu Yidao, and with a flip of his hand, he unleashed the Demon Suppression Seal.

"How could this be? I… I can't move at all?"

Liu Yidao was less skilled than Shentu Yuanbao, and his ability to resist was far weaker; he was completely suppressed by the Demon Suppression Seal and couldn't even move a finger.

Just as Liu Yidao was in a state of shock and uncertainty, a beam of sword light from Zhao Letian swept across, killing him instantly and, in passing, picking up his belongings.

"My son! Zhao Letian, I will kill you!"

At this moment, from the direction of the Liu Family camp, the Patriarch of Liu Family's eyes were about to split with rage, Liu Fei was consumed with grief and indignation, and the Liu Family Ancestor also rushed out. Also possessing the skill close to the Sect Martial Realm, but because of a warning from Sword Obsession, they dared not act rashly, only able to glare at Zhao Letian with venomous eyes.

"Zhao Letian is so powerful!"

The surrounding crowd exclaimed one after another, witnessing Zhao Letian instantly take down Liu Yidao, his strength far surpassing that of the Four Young Masters.

And at this moment, Shentu Yuanbao's long spear just managed to reach the front of Zhao Letian.

"Liu Yidao, this useless trash, is of no help at all," Shentu Yuanbao was both shocked and angry. He then suddenly stopped attacking Zhao Letian and quickly retreated, realizing that should Zhao Letian turn his hand and cast the Demon Suppression Seal at such a close range, he too would meet the same fate as Liu Yidao.

"Hmph, did you think you could run? Demon Suppression Seal!" Zhao Letian, however, had no intention of letting Shentu Yuanbao go, turning his head and launching another Demon Suppression Seal straight at him.

"Stop it, I admit defeat!"

Shentu Yuanbao roared unwillingly as he leaped out of the arena.

He had initially hoped to join forces with Liu Yidao to contend with Zhao Letian. Now that Liu Yidao was dead, all hope was lost. Alone, he was no match for Zhao Letian. If he didn't admit defeat now, death was all that awaited him.

"Now you know to admit defeat? Too late," Zhao Letian said coldly, his eyes flashing with a chilling intent to kill.

Shentu Yuanbao had been looking for an opportunity to kill him. When he finally realized there was no chance, he wanted to back off just like that? Not so easy.
