Chapter 228: Chapter 228

The woman in black was completely stunned, the seductive light in her eyes gone, replaced instead by a hue of shame and anger.

Despite her seductive charm and cultivation of bewitching techniques, her body was pure as ice and clean as jade.

Originally, she had merely intended to toy with Zhao Letian. She hadn't expected that Zhao Letian would really make his move.

Zhao Letian didn't care what she thought. After obtaining the Jade Token, he intended to turn around and leave.

These three Jade Tokens hadn't been used yet and could be taken to the black monolith to exchange for treasures.

However, Zhao Letian's current primary goal was to find the transmission array and for the time being, he did not plan on exchanging for treasures.

Having taken only a few steps, the woman in black suddenly swore shamefully and angrily from behind him, her beautiful eyes full of resentful color.

"If you are seeking death, I can oblige you as well."

Zhao Letian's footsteps paused, and his Sword Qi surged with True Yuan Power.

According to Zhao Letian's principles, those who sought to kill him must be killed. Not having killed the woman, he had already shown her mercy by making an exception and showing leniency. If she dared to be presumptuous again, he wouldn't be polite anymore.

"You... don't you want to know my name?"

The woman in black bit down hard on her teeth, her beautiful eyes red and filled with complex hatred, yet she dared not to speak her anger and muttered in a suppressed tone.

Zhao Letian said indifferently, without the slightest interest, and then he walked straight forward.

To him, the only connection between this woman and him was those three Jade Tokens. Anything else was unimportant.

"It's necessary! Zhao Zilong, if you have the guts, kill me now. Otherwise, I, Die Wu, will never let you off in this lifetime!"

The woman in black almost roared out, tears swirling in her beautiful eyes, as if she was deeply aggrieved.

"You're asking for death."

Zhao Letian's expression darkened, and a fierce Sword Qi shot out from his Longsword, directly striking at the woman called Die Wu.

Die Wu closed her eyes. If this man wanted to kill her, she had neither the power to resist nor the will to do so.

The sword light passed, and a lock of hair fell from beside Die Wu's ear, while a bloodstained sword scar was drawn across her fair cheek.

"Why didn't you kill me?"

Die Wu opened her eyes, and although they were still red, they had gained a hint of joy. Perhaps Zhao Letian was not as heartless as she had thought.

"No reason, just go. Before I change my mind."

Zhao Letian frowned slightly as he glanced at his sword-holding hand, speaking indifferently.

"Zhao Zilong, you just wait."

Seeing that Zhao Letian's attitude was still cold, Die Wu's gaze dimmed again. She bit her silver teeth, and then her figure flickered, turning into a black afterimage and disappearing into the dense forest.

Zhao Letian frowned and then turned into a streak of sword light, heading into the distance.

This woman named Die Wu better know her place, or else the next time they met, he might not be as merciful as he was today.

At the same time on the plaza outside, the Princess watched everything that had happened between Zhao Letian and Die Wu, cursing silently with a resentful look in her eyes.

The people present did not know that Die Wu, who appeared frivolous, actually carried the noble Royal Bloodline; she was the Princess's cousin. Due to some special reasons, she was not recognized by the Royal Family. Coming to the Royal Capital this time, Die Wu intended to join the Holy Spirit Academy through her own efforts.

Zhao Letian's belittling of her cousin naturally infuriated her.

"Hmph, had I known this, I shouldn't have saved that bastard earlier, I should have let him perish on his own."

Thinking back, embarrassment mingled with irritation filled the Princess.

In the Slaughter Illusion Realm, Zhao Letian, who was flying with his Sword Flight, suddenly frowned and looked up at the sky. He faintly felt as though a pair of eyes were watching him, sending chills down his spine.

However, the sky here looked no different from the outside world. It was still a blue sky with white clouds, vast and boundless, with no one in sight.

"Never mind, perhaps it's just my imagination."

Zhao Letian shook his head to himself, not knowing that everything happening here was visible to the people outside.

"Transmission array."

After flying for a while, Zhao Letian suddenly saw a tall stone platform ahead with an ancient transmission array on it, emitting a white glow.

As long as he was willing to give up the Jade Tokens on him, he could leave this place at any time through the transmission array.

After glancing at the transmission array a few times, Zhao Letian once again rode on the flying sword, soaring into the distance.

Having determined the location of the transmission array, he could now go all out to seize more Tokens. At the same time, he would also look nearby for a black monolith to exchange items.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

While he was flying, Zhao Letian suddenly heard a series of fighting noises coming from the dense forest ahead. He quickly descended and, employing the Chasing Wind Steps, stealthily approached.

Before long, he saw an open space in a thicket where a young man in a blue robe, wielding a Spiritual Weapon Longsword, faced three other youths, each holding a Spiritual Artifact.

"Stop resisting, all of you. Hand over your Jade Tokens and I'll spare your lives. Otherwise, you will all die." Thе gеnuinе аrtiсlе rеsidеs оn М|V|L&ЕМРYR.

The blue-robed youth smirked coldly. Despite facing three, he was very confident, with a composed demeanor.

On the other hand, the three young men opposite him all had sullen faces and numerous sword scars on their bodies, looking extremely bedraggled.

"Our Jade Tokens have all been exchanged for weapons already. They're useless to you. Why force us so? If you let us go, once we're out of here, we can still become friends."

One of the youths said with a frown.

"Bullshit. Do you think I'm an idiot? The final ranking is determined by the number of Jade Tokens, regardless of whether they've been used or not. Stop babbling and hand them over, or the next sword strike will take your lives."

The blue-robed youth swore rudely.

"You're right. Hand over all Jade Tokens, or else die."

At that moment, Zhao Letian, who was hidden in the shadows, had already drawn his bow and arrow and aimed at those four people. He transmitted a Divine Thought directly, warning them.
