Chapter 241: Chapter 241

The Qi brothers were slightly taken aback, exchanging a look of surprise.

They had not expected Zhao Letian to be so confident, daring to boast even when facing the two of them.

"Tell me, how do you want to die?"

Qi Sheng said coldly, his curved blade surging with powerful True Yuan power.

"You had your chance and you didn't cherish it, now go to your death."

Zhao Letian said indifferently, his figure flickered as he held the longsword, directly charging at Qi Sheng.

"Xuan-level Martial Technique? Hmph, not just you can perform it, Slanting Moon Curved Blade, kill."

Qi Sheng sneered, fearlessly swinging his blade to meet the attack.

"I want to see where you got the confidence to contend against me and my brother, kill."

At the same time, Qi Hong also sneered coldly, swinging his curved blade to attack as well.

"Not bad strength, but, you still have to die."

Zhao Letian's gaze sharpened, the Qi brothers truly were worthy of being top ten contenders, with strong capabilities, using sword techniques, and movement techniques all at Xuan-level, having even mastered them to some extent. Yet, even so, Zhao Letian showed no fear, continuing to strike at Qi Sheng, his longsword suddenly sprouting numerous sharp Wind Blades, as well as dazzling purple electric arcs.

"Bad news, the power of wind and thunder, Qi Sheng, retreat quickly, you're no match for him."

Seeing this, Qi Hong urgently shouted, his curved blade suddenly bursting with a formidable blade force, desperately rushing in front of Qi Sheng, trying to fend off Zhao Letian's attack.

Although his brother Qi Sheng had also cultivated a Xuan-level Martial Technique and even grasped some blade power, compared to Zhao Letian, Qi Sheng's understanding of the blade power was not worth mentioning, especially considering Zhao Letian's wind power, which was nearly reaching the second layer. Not to mention Qi Sheng, even he himself was not sure he could defend against it.

"A single layer of blade power? Very impressive, isn't it? Die." My Virtual Library Empire (*)

Zhao Letian's eyes showed contempt, he bellowed, and his longsword suddenly surged with a nearly second layer powerful sword force, fiercely slashing towards the curved blade in Qi Hong's hand.

The next moment, a crisp sound of metal breaking echoed, Qi Hong's Three-star Spiritual Artifact curved blade was directly cleaved in two by Zhao Letian's sword. Zhao Letian's blade did not diminish in momentum, fiercely striking Qi Hong's body. Although it didn't break Qi Hong's Three-star Spirit Armor, it left a long sword mark on the armor, blowing Qi Hong back, spewing blood, and thrown far away.

Qi Sheng was suddenly shocked, his eyes revealing an incredulous look.

He had not expected, even his powerful older brother could not withstand a casual sword from Zhao Letian, Zhao Letian's power was terrifying.

Just then, before Qi Sheng could recover, a sword light directly pierced his throat, instantly killing him.

"Qi Sheng! Zhao Zilong, I will have your death."

Watching Qi Sheng's body fall, Qi Hong was shocked and grieved, his gaze maliciously fixed on Zhao Letian, then ignoring his own injuries, he lifted his curved blade and charged at Zhao Letian again.

"You had your chance, you did not know how to cherish it, who can you blame now? Accompany your brother on the road."

Zhao Letian said indifferently, wielding the longsword that turned into a Starlight, instantly passing by Qi Hong. Simultaneously, the sword light flashed, another head spun into the air.

After killing the Qi brothers, Zhao Letian reacted very calmly, sweeping his hand to collect the items on their bodies.

You should know, even Ao Tian, who was originally ranked third, was slain by him, killing these two naturally didn't give much sense of achievement.

In Zhao Letian's eyes, only Yu Wenhui and Xiao were worthy of a serious battle in this entire Slaughter Illusion Realm.

"Enlightenment Stele."

Zhao Letian looked up at the towering stele in the middle of the square, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and then with a flicker of his figure, he arrived at the top of the stele and sat down cross-legged.

He flipped his hand to take out the Jade Token and checked the rankings on it.

After the fierce battle just now, the number of Jade Tokens he possessed had increased to over twelve hundred, moving up from seventh to third place, but Yu Wenhui and Xiao were still ahead of him.

Xiao had over fifteen hundred Jade Tokens.

And Yu Wenhui's number of Jade Tokens had even broken the two thousand mark.

Together, the three of them possessed nearly five thousand Jade Tokens, almost half of those participating in the assessment.

By this time, only a little over two thousand people were still alive in the Slaughter Illusion Realm.

"I wonder how Mu Lei is doing? If I had known the fatality rate of this assessment was so high, I wouldn't have let him come in the first place; if anything happens to him, how can I explain it to Cailian?"

Zhao Letian suddenly remembered Mu Lei, who had entered the Secret Realm with him, and couldn't help but frown.

Although Mu Lei's talent was decent, nearly everyone who had entered this Slaughter Illusion Realm was considered a genius. Even Zhao Letian had faced several dangers when he first entered the Secret Realm. If Mu Lei was unlucky, he might also perish here.

But now, no matter how worried Zhao Letian was, there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that the lad would have his own heavenly luck.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Letian calmed his mind, took a Foundation Building Pill, and holding two Mid-Grade Essence Stones in his hands, he began to cultivate at the Enlightenment Stele.

Cultivating here not only allowed for a rapid improvement of cultivation level but also facilitated the understanding of various forces, serving dual benefits.

Although Zhao Letian now had many Jade Tokens and there were steles in the ruins where treasures could be exchanged, Zhao Letian was not planning to exchange them yet because what he possessed was already sufficient.

At least, he planned to wait until he had fully mastered a few Early Stage Xuan-level Martial Techniques before considering exchanging for more advanced items.

Time quietly passed, and before long, night had fallen.

The nights in the Secret Realm were still twinkling with starlight.

Under the starlight, the ancient, dilapidated square was covered with corpses, and the crimson blood coagulated into patches of stark flowers creating an atmosphere of deathly stillness and desolation, with only the high top of the Enlightenment Stele showing a trace of vitality.

Zhao Letian, who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating, had no time to appreciate the stunning night in the Secret Realm, focusing on practicing and striving to improve his comprehension of forces.

Days and nights passed, stars shifted.

In the blink of an eye, the assessment had reached its tenth day.

During this period, Zhao Letian had not left the Enlightenment Stele.

And many more bodies had been added to the surrounding square.

These were the people who came to compete with Zhao Letian for the Enlightenment Stele, but the outcome was obvious; they all failed, and the cost of failure was becoming the lost souls under Zhao Letian's sword, buried right here.

At the same time, they provided Zhao Letian with opportunity after opportunity to practice his Martial Techniques.
