Chapter 311: Chapter 311
Zhao Letian's words had just ended when the people from the Shentu Family below all revealed faces filled with a mix of shock and anger.
As the rulers of Qingzhou City, the Shentu Family's status was exalted and their strength formidable. Even the other three major families that were their equals in name would have to pay them some respect, and no one had ever dared to be as wildly arrogant as Zhao Letian before the gates of the City Lord Mansion.
"Young friend, I believe the Shentu Family has never wronged you; why must you be so aggressive? It's better to dissolve grudges than to create them. If indeed the Shentu Family has done something improper, please just point it out, and I, as an elder, am willing to apologize on behalf of the Shentu Family."
The elder from the Shentu Family planned to begin with diplomacy before resorting to force, forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart, as he looked up at Zhao Letian, squeezing out a stiff smile.
He was not clear on Zhao Letian's background, and as long as there was a glimmer of hope to avoid the conflict, he did not want to take action against Zhao Letian.
"I've made myself very clear; you have fifteen minutes to leave Qingzhou City or die," said Zhao Letian, his expression still cold and detached.
"Hmph, such an arrogant youngster. I would like to see what abilities you have to behave so wildly at my City Lord Mansion. Attack!"
Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, the face of the elder from the Shentu Family darkened as he spoke coldly.
As he spoke, a flash of light from the elder's hand materialized, and a huge three-zhang long, pitch-black demon leopard beast appeared by his side.
"Roar!" Note: Check * for any corrections.
The demon leopard beast exuded a powerful aura of the Sect Martial Realm. With an angry roar, it leaped towards Zhao Letian, who was in the air, baring its teeth and claws.
Simultaneously, both the elder from the Shentu Family and Shentu Yuanba took out their respective Spiritual Artifacts, radiating strong Sect Martial Realm auras. Together with the black leopard, they aggressively attacked Zhao Letian, their eyes flickering with a strong intent to win at all costs.
They believed that the combined efforts of three existences of the Sect Martial Realm would be enough to instantly kill Zhao Letian.
"Overestimating yourselves."
As the elder from the Shentu Family, Shentu Yuanba, and the black leopard attacked together, Zhao Letian showed no fear. With an indifferent shout, he produced a four to five-zhang long, huge Snow Wolf with a flash in his hand, the beast appearing beside him in the air.
The Snow Wolf howled towards the sky, its eyes flickering with a mysterious green glow. It locked its icy gaze on the demon beast black leopard that charged first. Then, with a blurring flash, it turned into a vague white shadow and attacked the Sect Martial Realm demon beast black leopard with astonishing speed.
Seeing the Snow Wolf charging, the Sect Martial Realm demon beast black leopard's eyes suddenly showed an anthropomorphic expression of terror.
That was because it sensed an overwhelming Sect Martial Second Realm aura on the Snow Wolf, while it only possessed the strength of the first level of the Sect Martial Realm.
It was well-known that among beings of the Sect Martial Realm, each level of cultivation difference meant a vast disparity in strength, incomparable by any standard.
Therefore, despite the gap of only one level in cultivation, Zhao Letian's Spiritual Beast Snow Wolf could easily kill the first-level Sect Martial Realm demon beast black leopard.
Furthermore, in terms of bloodline rank, Zhao Letian's Spiritual Beast Snow Wolf was even nobler than the demon beast black leopard, meaning even if their cultivations were equal, its strength would still be far superior.
In the next moment, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, the Sect Martial Second Realm Spiritual Beast Snow Wolf, with its faster speed and unstoppable powerful attack, directly bit through the neck of the demon beast black leopard, killing it instantly.
"No, this can't be possible."
Seeing this scene, Shentu Yuanba was both shocked and furious, disbelief filling his eyes as he felt his heart bleeding.
The Sect Martial Realm demon beast, the black panther, was a valuable beast purchased by the Shentu Family to deal with the Zhao Family, expecting it to be of great use. However, to their dismay, before it could demonstrate any effectiveness, it was instantly killed by Zhao Letian's Spiritual Beast.
"Diverting your attention in battle is seeking death."
At that moment, a sharp glint flashed across Zhao Letian's eyes. The Nine-star Spiritual Weapon Longsword in his hand suddenly surged with the powerful Nine-layered Sword Formation, Nine-layered Wind Force, and Nine-layered Fire Force. Under the control of his formidable Divine Soul Power, the powers of these three forces swiftly merged, forming a seamless and increasingly powerful force.
The next instant, Zhao Letian swung his sword. Shentu Yuanba, who had just regained his composure, was directly slain by the strike, his body severed, with blood gushing like a fountain.
To the end, a look of disbelief and horror remained on Shentu Yuanba's face.
He couldn't believe that he, the mighty City Lord of Qingzhou City, whose word was law, would end up being killed by a mere ant from the True Martial Seventh Realm.
Moreover, this ant from the True Martial Seventh Realm had actually comprehended three types of Nine Layers of Power and even managed to merge them into a terrifyingly powerful strike that not only penetrated through his protective True Yuan but also decapitated him.
If his memory served him correctly, it seemed that only Sword Obsession, the monster genius from Galaxy Sect that descended previously, was capable of doing this.
Of course, all of this was irrelevant to him now. As darkness covered his vision, he completely lost consciousness and bid farewell to this world.
"Yuanba? Damn it, I will kill you."
Seeing the corpse of Shentu Yuanba, the patriarch of the Shentu Family was furious to the point of bursting, with flames of rage in his heart. Wielding his Longsword, he generated his full True Essence Power without reservation as he slashed towards Zhao Letian.
He was absolutely confident that if this sword hit Zhao Letian, it would undoubtedly kill him with a single strike.
Just as the patriarch's sword was about to descend, the Snow Wolf let out an angry howl not far away. Its figure blurred, transformed into a faint white shadow, and rushed over with even greater speed. Before the patriarch could react, the Snow Wolf bit his head off.
The next moment, a crisp sound echoed as the patriarch's head burst open like a watermelon in the Snow Wolf's jaws, with blood and brain matter splattering everywhere.
Witnessing this scene, the City Lord Mansion's guards who were ready to attack Zhao Letian all inhaled sharply, their eyes filled with intense terror.
In the blink of an eye, the three strongest Sect Martial Realm beings of the Shentu Family were all killed by Zhao Letian. How could these ordinary soldiers and small fries dare to oppose Zhao Letian any longer?
Someone shouted loudly, and then the members of the Shentu Family scattered and fled in all directions.
Faced with the threat of death, no one cared about pride or face any longer. Their arrogance as people of the City Lord Mansion was thrown out of the window. Now, all that mattered was preserving their own lives.
In just a short moment, not a single soul could be seen in the City Lord Mansion that once housed tens of thousands.
Zhao Letian didn't care about those minions. With a wave of his hand, he collected the Storage Rings of the patriarch and Shentu Yuanba, transformed into a sword light, and left Qingzhou City, heading directly towards the Iron Sword Sect outside the city.
