Chapter 164: Chapter 164
The three Middle Stage True Martial Realm powerhouses from Gray Wolf Kingdom had extremely ugly expressions on their faces at this moment, with eyes filled with disbelief. Three against one, yet they had fought to a draw with Zhao Letian, a mere Initial Stage True Martial Realm individual, which was an utter disgrace.
Zhao Letian also furrowed his brows; these three individuals from Gray Wolf Kingdom were stronger than he had anticipated. It would be difficult to settle with these three in a short time, but given the urgency of the situation, he had to resolve it quickly.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!..."
Just then, several more Middle Stage True Martial Realm powerhouses from Gray Wolf Kingdom rushed over and, together with those three prodigies, encircled Zhao Letian.
"Young man, I admit you are strong and a respectable warrior, but continuing to resist will only lead to a dead end. If you are willing to surrender to Gray Wolf Kingdom, you can be spared from death," said one of the Middle Stage True Martial Realm talents from Gray Wolf Kingdom, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth as he stared at Zhao Letian.
Gray Wolf Kingdom respected the strong more than Dajin Country. Although Zhao Letian had killed many from Gray Wolf Kingdom, his strength was acknowledged by them. If he were willing to surrender, they would certainly treat him well.
"Dragon Roar Nine Sword, slash."
Zhao Letian said nothing further and directly slashed his sword at the people of Gray Wolf Kingdom.
The martial artist's dignity and integrity, he still possessed; to defect in the midst of battle, he could not do it.
"Hmph! Since you are not savvy, your only path is death. Kill!"
The powerhouse from Gray Wolf Kingdom shouted furiously and launched an attack at Zhao Letian. In an instant, a flurry of knives and swords shimmered non-stop, with a variety of attacks coming at Zhao Letian from all directions.
Zhao Letian hurriedly employed his Body Technique to evade as much as possible. The incoming attacks were too numerous and fearsome; if all were to hit him, even he might explode on the spot.
Although Zhao Letian's movement technique was extremely fast, many attacks still struck him. Instantly, they tore deep gashes in the three-star low-grade Spiritual Artifact armor he wore, with some attacks even tearing through his Defensive Armor and striking his physical body.

Fortunately, Zhao Letian had already formed four layers of black mystical armor on his body, which had defensive power comparable to a low-grade Mid-tier Spiritual Artifact, and it successfully blocked those attacks that had penetrated the first two layers of armor.
However, even so, the powerful force contained in the various attacks still penetrated his defenses and surged into his body, causing turmoil inside him as if his internal organs had shifted positions.
After enduring a wave of attacks, Zhao Letian couldn't help but spit out a large mouthful of blood. Had it not been for his strong physical strength, he would probably have been dead by now.
"He's not dead yet? Hmph, continue the attack," said a Gray Wolf Kingdom powerhouse, eyes revealing a shocked expression, followed by a cold snort and firm command.
They hadn't expected Zhao Letian's life to be so tenacious, but with their overwhelming numerical advantage, their tactic of overwhelming numbers meant Zhao Letian was inevitably doomed.
"Soul Suppressing Bell."
"Dragon Roar Nine Sword."
Just as the people of Gray Wolf Kingdom prepared to launch the next wave of attacks, Zhao Letian took the initiative, first pulling out the Soul Suppressing Bell—a Divine Thought Attack Spiritual Artifact—seized from Wang Yi, and released a lingering bell tone, sweeping across the area, followed by a sword strike shaped like a crescent moon, sweeping through a region.
With the sound of the Soul Suppressing Bell spreading, the unprepared warriors from Gray Wolf Kingdom were caught off guard, momentarily dazed and lost, and the wave of Dragon Roar immediately followed, striking their Divine Souls again, causing many to furrow their brows, feeling severe pain in their Divine Souls as if their heads were about to explode.
Before the people of Gray Wolf Kingdom could regain their senses, Zhao Letian's sword light attacked, slicing through and leaving a swath of bodies on the ground. With a wave of his hand, Zhao Letian took the opportunity to seize their storage rings and personal belongings.
"Boy, you deserve to die!"
The three Middle Stage True Martial Realm prodigies and some strong warriors from Gray Wolf Kingdom, although injured, survived. The first to recover, they all launched attacks at Zhao Letian with grim expressions.
"Dragon Roar Nine Sword, slash!"
Zhao Letian fearlessly engaged, activating the Body Technique "Carefree Travel" and wielding his longsword, he met them head-on.
The encircling attackers from Gray Wolf Kingdom, although many were slaughtered by Zhao Letian, still numbered over a dozen. Their dense array of attacks forced Zhao Letian to push his movement technique to its limits, also striving to strengthen the supporting wind, aiming to increase his speed even further.
Following this, the flicker of blade lights and sword shadows never ceased. Zhao Letian darted back and forth amidst the crowd, desperately dodging the Gray Wolf Kingdom warriors' attacks while seeking opportunities to kill as many as possible.
Meanwhile, Luo Yao and other Middle Stage True Martial Realm warriors were also fiercely battling the warriors from Gray Wolf Kingdom. As their cultivation levels were even higher than Zhao Letian's, when they initially broke out of the Array Formation Light Shield, many strong opponents from Gray Wolf Kingdom rushed to encircle and kill them.
At this moment, each had to face the assault of three to five Gray Wolf Kingdom warriors of the same rank—the battle was extremely perilous. Unlike Zhao Letian, they simply couldn't afford to kill at will; just surviving was already quite an achievement.
"Captain, this group of recruits have astonishing combat power. They have indeed managed to hold off so many powerful enemies from Gray Wolf Kingdom. This is a good opportunity for us to charge out of the Array Formation Light Shield and engage in the slaughter," said a high-level True Martial Realm warrior from Dajin Country, standing atop a mine and speaking to the mine's manager.
"Forget killing, just stay strictly within the array. Aren't you thinking, if the people of Gray Wolf Kingdom still have ambush troops not yet deployed, they're just waiting to catch us all at once? If we go out now, wouldn't we be walking right into their trap? Holding our position in the array formation is the correct action," the mine manager said indifferently.
The soldiers on the mine felt depressed; this moment was their excellent chance to attack. Had they charged out, they could have severely damaged the forces of the Gray Wolf Kingdom. Regretfully, their captain was too conservative, even somewhat fearful of battle, causing them to miss such a great opportunity.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!…"
Just then, Luo Yao and other Middle Stage True Martial Realm warriors could no longer withstand the encirclement of the Gray Wolf Kingdom fighters, taking the opportunity to retreat back into the Array Formation Light Shield. However, those who were less fortunate or weaker did not make it back at all, perishing outside the array.
At this moment, only Zhao Letian, Xiao Feng, and Wang Zhen remained fighting outside the array, outnumbered and isolated, a cause for concern.
