Chapter 293: Chapter 293
The black-robed man was filled with shock and unwillingness in his eyes as he died.
He had never imagined that a mere youngster at the True Martial Seventh Realm could simultaneously master four different types of forces, with each force reaching the ninth level of power, and even more so, that this youth could integrate the powers of each force. Such genius was unheard of to him.
Had he known of Zhao Letian's formidable strength earlier, he would have been more cautious with that slash. If so, even if he could not defeat Zhao Letian, he wouldn't have been instantly killed.
Unfortunately for him, there are no medicines for regret in this world, no chances for a do-over. One careless move can mean the difference between life and death. Such is the cruel reality when the strong clash.
Besides, even if it were possible to do it all over again, the man in black would have no chance, because if it had not been for the desire to test his own strength, Zhao Letian had even better methods to kill him.
At the same time, Zhao Letian was also sent flying by the terrifying force within the black-robed man's blade aura, as a trickle of blood once again appeared at the corner of his mouth and his complexion turned pale.
After all, the man in black was a Sect Martial Realm powerhouse; even a casual slash from him was extraordinary, let alone the one where he had nearly used all his strength.
To achieve the surprise attack and kill the black-robed man in one strike, Zhao Letian had chosen to take the attack head on, a decision that naturally came at a cost.
Fortunately, his physical strength was incredibly formidable and he was highly resistant to damage. Coupled with the protection of the Mid-grade Spiritual Artifact, the Wind Thunder Wings, his injuries were not severe, and he could recover after a bit of care.
Seeing Zhao Letian kill the black-robed man of Sect Martial Realm cultivation with a single thrust, Cailian, Mu Lang and the others all showed shocked expressions, their eyes somewhat vacant.
Everything had happened too quickly, from the appearance of the Sect Martial Realm strong man to Zhao Letian killing him, it was all just a few breaths' worth of action, and Cailian and Mu Lang had not yet reacted.
"True Martial slays Sect Martial? My god, what kind of monster is this kid?"
Mu Lang watched Zhao Letian, his eyes filled with a mix of shock and joy, unable to help but exclaim in admiration.
For a True Martial to slay a Sect Martial was extremely difficult in itself. Even many at the peak of the True Martial Ninth Realm found it hard to achieve. Moreover, Zhao Letian's current cultivation was merely at True Martial Seventh Realm, making his feat of killing a Sect Martial Realm powerhouse all the more valuable.
Although there was some fortune involved in his defeating the black-robed man, it also proved that his strength was far superior to those of the same rank. Otherwise, without sufficient strength to back him up, even with great luck, Zhao Letian wouldn't possibly be able to kill someone from Sect Martial Realm.
Such a monstrous genius was far beyond Mu Lang's imagination; at least, in the vicinity of the Holy River Basin, he had never heard of such an aberrant True Martial Realm talent.
At the same time, Cailian and the people of Baihua Tribe, having recovered from their shock, also displayed delighted expressions.
For them, Zhao Letian was one of their own. The stronger his abilities and potential, the happier naturally they felt.
"Cailian, this person must be the Clan Leader of the Green Wolf Tribe. Are you sure that, besides him, there are no other Sect Martial Realm powerhouses in the Green Wolf Tribe?"
Zhao Letian put away the items on the black-robed man, his figure flashed, and he returned to Cailian's side to ask.
"Yes, in the Green Wolf Tribe, there was only this one Sect Martial Realm powerhouse. Now that he has fallen, it is estimated the Green Wolf Tribe will soon be divided by the other large tribes around, and will no longer pose a threat to us."
Cailian nodded in response.
"That's good, Cailian, I'm leaving. My return this time is to say goodbye to you all."
Zhao Letian nodded, his expression becoming solemn.
"Leaving? Going back to the Royal Capital?"
Cailian was startled and asked with some surprise.
"No, I'm leaving the Gray Wolf Kingdom. I don't know when I'll be able to return next time."
Zhao Letian shook his head.
"Leave the Gray Wolf Kingdom? Why?"
Cailian felt her heart sink as she stared at Zhao Letian and asked.
"Because I am representing the Gray Wolf Kingdom to attend a grand event..."
Zhao Letian said slowly, explaining the reasons and circumstances in brief.
"Prince Consort candidate? Imperial Secret Realm?"
Cailian took note of these two keywords, and her beautiful eyes reflected a rather complex expression.
Learning that Zhao Letian was indeed likely to marry the Princess, she couldn't help feeling some jealousy, but that wasn't much of a concern for her. She could accept it, as she had long known that a man as outstanding as Zhao Letian would definitely not have just her as a woman by his side. Such matters were not at all unusual in the Martial Arts World.
However, the journey to the Imperial Secret Realm seemed exceptionally dangerous, gathering the most top-notch monstrous talents from various nations. The competition would be extremely fierce, and Cailian couldn't help but worry for Zhao Letian.
"Cailian, inside this storage ring, there are some items I prepared for you. They might be useful to you; please take them."
Zhao Letian suddenly took out a storage ring and passed it to Cailian.
Inside the storage ring were ten puppets and the War Dragon Arm, which he had personally crafted, as well as a vast amount of Primordial Stone Elixirs, Cultivation Techniques, Martial Techniques, Qingluo Wine, and other cultivation resources. The contents were invaluable and would certainly assist Cailian to reach a high cultivation realm and ensure her safety.
Cailian nodded without declining and accepted the storage ring. She understood Zhao Letian's intentions and naturally wouldn't act distant. This chapter first appeared on *.
"By the way, Cailian, please take these two Spiritual Beasts as well."
Zhao Letian thought it over carefully and, with a flash of Spirit Light in his hand, took out two huge white wolves from his Spiritual Beast Bag around his waist.
"Sect Martial Realm demon beast?"
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the two giant wolves, Cailian exclaimed in surprise.
Only now did she realize why Zhao Letian had been bold enough to promise to solve the issue of the Green Wolf Tribe for her. It turned out that Zhao Letian possessed such powerful demon beasts.
"That's right, they are indeed demon beasts from the Sect Martial Realm. With them, the safety of the Baihua Tribe should be well assured. Please take them."
While those ten puppets and the War Dragon Arm would basically allow the Baihua Tribe to traverse the nearby areas of the Holy River Basin with ease, to be on the safe side, Zhao Letian still felt it necessary to leave two Sect Martial Realm Demon Beast Snow Wolves with Cailian.
"Alright, Zilong, you must take care as well. No matter how long you are away, I'll be here, waiting for you."
Cailian nodded and looked at Zhao Letian, smiling sweetly as she spoke earnestly.
"Don't worry, I will definitely come back."
Zhao Letian was moved, and he spoke firmly. Then he transformed into a streak of sword light, shot up into the sky, and quickly disappeared into the distant horizon.
"This kid, why did he leave again? Couldn't he have stayed a few more days?"
Watching Zhao Letian's retreating figure, Mu Lang couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
"It's alright, he will come back."
Cailian smiled slightly, her belief unshaking that Zhao Letian would never let her down.
