Chapter 238: Chapter 238

Zhao Letian's eyes flashed sharply, his wrist flicked, and a Sword Qi instantly shot out, striking directly at the throat, ending that person's life.

"Anyone else wants to run?"

Zhao Letian collected the items from the person's body and looked at the others.

Seeing Zhao Letian's formidable strength, the others furrowed their brows and exchanged uneasy looks, hesitation apparent in their eyes.

"He's only one person, and there are so many of us, why should we be afraid of him? Since he seeks death, let's join hands and kill him."

One of them, unwilling to hand over the Jade Token, shouted loudly.

Several people's eyes revealed a cold murderous intent, echoing the sentiment.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!..."

Consequently, these people holding Spiritual Artifacts charged towards Zhao Letian.

"Seeking death, Sun-shooting Arrow Technique, kill."

Zhao Letian's gaze turned icy. He flipped his hand to retrieve a Three-star Bow and Arrow Spiritual Artifact and shot an arrow skyward.

The next moment, a shower of Fire Rain Arrows, carrying the First Layer Wind Force, covered the sky and overwhelmingly shot towards those charging people.

"Xuan-level Arrow Technique? Pity you've only grasped the basics; thinking you can kill us is far from enough."

"Kill him, seize his Martial Technique."

Those people were suddenly startled, then a greedy look appeared in their eyes as they swung their Spiritual Artifacts, striking at the incoming Fire Rain Arrows.

A Xuan-level Martial Technique, worth at least dozens of Jade Tokens, was very tempting. They all wanted it.

"If one Xuan-level Martial Technique can't kill you, what about adding two more? Meteor Step, Wind Thunder Sword."

Zhao Letian stowed away the Three-star Bow and Arrow Spiritual Artifact, and with a flip of his hand, he drew a Three-star Spiritual Energy Longsword. His figure flickered, unleashing the Xuan-level Body Technique, Meteor Step, bolstered by the First Layer Wind Force, fast as a shooting star, turned into a streak of light, and charged towards those people.

He didn't hope that one arrow would kill those people. Practicing the Sun-shooting Arrow Technique was just to train with that Xuan-level Martial Technique. If it could slightly restrain them, that was good enough. His real killing move was still the sword in his hand.

Following that, amidst flashes of lightning and howling wind, wherever Zhao Letian's sword light touched, blood splattered, and corpses fell. Every Martial Artist, who were considered geniuses in the outside world, kept falling, and their items were all collected by Zhao Letian.

Relying on the fully-mastered Flowing Cloud Sword Technique and the First Layer Sword Force and Wind Force, Zhao Letian already had few adversaries in the Secret Realm. Now, with added Xuan-level Body Technique and Xuan-level Swordsmanship, he was even more powerful, not only effortlessly killing these ignorant people but also taking the opportunity to train his Xuan-level Sword Technique and Body Technique.

Not long after, the dozen Martial Artists at the scene all became souls under Zhao Letian's sword, and naturally, their items were all his.

Just then, the ferocious wind howled, and that green poison fog, enshrouding heaven and earth, had spread to within a few meters from Zhao Letian, closing in at a frightening speed.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!..."

The next moment, just as Zhao Letian was about to leave, he saw several streaks of light suddenly rush out from the green poison fog, escaping at an even faster speed toward the distance.

"Uh? Those few people actually didn't die? Could it be that the toxicity of this green poison fog isn't very strong?"

Watching those quickly fleeting streaks of light, Zhao Letian did not rush to chase, but instead pondered as he looked back at the poison fog that was creeping closer.

"Help... help me, give me some healing pills..."

Just then, from deep within the poison fog, a figure approached, extremely weak and slow, yet unwilling to give up, still trying to break out of the poison fog, even calling out loudly for Zhao Letian's help.

However, Zhao Letian remained unmoved, merely standing with his hands clasped behind his back, quietly watching the person, his face void of any emotion.

Apart from Murong Zhan, every person here was his competitor. For these competitors, he would not show any womanly kindness, much less take the risk to save them.

"Damn it! I'm not reconciled..."

A moment later, filled with resentment, that person yelled angrily, then collapsed within the poison fog.

By this time, the distance between this person and Zhao Letian was already no more than thirty feet.

Zhao Letian looked at the corpse, furrowed his eyebrows thoughtfully, then after a moment, controlled a Spiritual Weapon Flying Sword to rush into the poison fog, quickly swept up the items on the person's body, and then flew back.

Originally, he wanted to personally venture into the poison fog, to test the toxicity of this green poison fog. If the toxicity of the poison fog wasn't strong, perhaps he could use this strange poison fog to collect more Jade Tokens.

However, upon further reflection, this idea seemed too risky. If the toxicity of the poison fog was too strong and incurable, it would be a great loss.

"Only one Jade Token, and it's even unused; how on earth did this guy survive until now?"

Zhao Letian looked at the items retrieved by the flying sword, somewhat amused and puzzled.

That person didn't even have a One-star Spiritual Artifact on them, could only flee on foot when faced with the approaching poison fog, and also hadn't learned any Body Techniques; no wonder he died in the poison fog.

Zhao Letian didn't linger too long, and after securing the Jade Token, his figure flashed as he executed the Xuan-level Body Technique, Meteor Step, and hurried towards a distant place.

To learn this Xuan-level Body Technique, Zhao Letian didn't perform the First Layer Wind Force, keeping his speed very slow, closely following the pursuing green poison fog, unhurriedly hurrying to the distance.

This way, he did not have to worry about someone attacking him from behind.

The green poison fog lasted for a long time, only stopping in the evening and no longer spreading, but it didn't disperse either, still penetrating the heavens and earth, making it impossible to return to the places they had passed.

"It seems this strange poison fog is indeed a trial set up by someone, with the purpose of narrowing our activity area, thus making the competition more intense."

Zhao Letian thought to himself as he watched the poison fog behind him.

Following the poison fog all day, he had seen many people hiding in concealed places, who had stayed put from the start to the end, completely minding their cultivation without fighting others or snatching Jade Tokens, probably intending to quietly cultivate until the end of the evaluation.

These people's attitudes were too passive; if everyone was like them, one couldn't truly evaluate the superiority of talents, and this evaluation would lose its original meaning.

If Zhao Letian wasn't mistaken, this sweeping green poison fog should be meant to prevent exactly that.

"Ruins of a building? Were there people living here?"

While his thoughts were spinning, Zhao Letian continued forward. Before long, he walked out of the dense forest, and looking ahead, his vision suddenly cleared.

He saw that ahead was a vast and majestic palace ruins.
