Chapter 94: Chapter 94
After comprehending the Four Layers Sword Force, Zhao Letian's strike sent Shentu Yu flying back more than ten meters.
"It's impossible! How could your attack be more powerful than mine?" Shentu Yu's eyes filled with terror as he spoke in disbelief. Zhao Letian's sword was so powerful that it caused his sword-wielding hand to tingle and tremble uncontrollably, nearly tearing it apart.
"I have understood the second stage of the sword force—borrowing force, which is qualitatively different from the following force stage that you've comprehended. The power of the Four Layers Sword Force is beyond your imagination. This battle is destined to be your loss." Zhao Letian's face remained calm and composed, his confidence unwavering. Despite the sword marks on his body, his white robe soaked in blood, and the serious internal injuries he had sustained, having comprehended the Four Layers Sword Force gave him the absolute certainty that he could kill Shentu Yu. Such injuries were negligible to him.
"The Four Layers Sword Force is terrifying. Zhao Letian is indeed of demon-level talent; he might even be compared to the legendary masters!"
The crowd exclaimed one after another, shocked by Zhao Letian's display of innate talent.
"To be able to breakthrough a realm of martial arts in the midst of battle, Zhao Letian, you keep surprising me more and more." Chu Yunshan, the Sect Master on the Golden Warship, showed admiration in his eyes, realizing that Zhao Letian's aptitude was in no way inferior to the great legends. Carefully nurtured, he could become a significant pillar of the Galaxy Sect in the future.
"Sword Obsession, you're really lucky to have picked up such a promising seedling as your disciple early on. In the future, you might even be able to benefit from his glory."
"That's right, with this youngster's talent, as long as he doesn't fall unexpectedly, it is almost certain that he will advance to the Sect Martial Realm. It is truly enviable to have a Sect Martial Realm disciple."
The Guardian Elders seated next to Sect Master Chu Yunshan turned their heads to look at Sword Obsession, all revealing looks of envy. If it wasn't for Zhao Letian already becoming a disciple of Sword Obsession, they would have fought over him after this battle was over.
As for who would survive this battle, they had no doubt it would be Zhao Letian. Even though he was only at the True Martial Second Layer, with the Four Layers Sword Force at his command, it was more than enough to slay Shentu Yu.
Sword Obsession smiled, not responding to their comments. He, too, was extremely content that Zhao Letian had comprehended the Four Layers Sword Force.
In the sky, Liu Wei and the five tigers of the Galaxy Sect saw the tide of battle turning, and as Zhao Letian suddenly gained the upper hand, they all felt a sense of relief, their faces showing excitement.
On the contrary, Liu Fei's expression immediately darkened. The thing she feared the most had ultimately happened. She never imagined that Zhao Letian's strength could indeed surpass Shentu Yu, making her feel as if she were in a dream—a nightmare. If Shentu Yu were to die, then all her efforts would have been in vain. Moreover, she would have to worry about Zhao Letian seeking retribution, since she and Shentu Yu had framed him together.
"Four Layers Sword Force? Why, why can you, a mere bastard of the Zhao Family, grasp the Four Layers Sword Force, while I, the esteemed son of the City Lord, with a status far more noble than yours, have only managed to comprehend two layers? This can't be, this shouldn't be happening, there must be some mistake. Zhao Letian, you're just bluffing, you're lying to me, right?" Shentu Yu was incredulous, stunned for a moment as if struck by a huge blow, unable to accept the fact that Zhao Letian's strength had surpassed his, suddenly letting out a howl as if driven insane.
"Pitiful person. The noble status you boast of was granted to you by your parents and family, not something you fought for with your own effort. Yet you take it as your pride, unaware that a Martial Artist's true pride comes from struggling on their own to reach the pinnacle of the Martial Arts Realm. Even if one uses external help, they won't be proud of it. Your Martial Arts Heart is weak and small, such that even if I don't kill you today, your future achievements will be very limited. Such as you, is there any meaning to your continued existence?" Zhao Letian held his longsword, looking indifferently at Shentu Yu, speaking without a hint of emotion, his voice like a devil's whisper, fiercely striking at Shentu Yu's Martial Arts Heart.
"My Martial Arts Heart is not strong enough? My future achievements are limited? Living on is meaningless?" Shentu Yu, already dealt a blow and somewhat confused, could not help but question himself after hearing Zhao Letian's words. His Martial Arts Heart was severely shaken, demons grew in his mind, and even if he didn't die today, his future cultivation would be severely affected.
"This kid, to strike at the heart so ruthlessly, quite merciless. It seems he is like Li, both are decisive in killing, only his killing is controlled, while Li's is crazier; he kills without reason, purely based on his mood," Chu Yunshan, the Sect Master on the Golden Warship, had a flash of brilliance in his eyes.
"Give up resisting, let me end your miserable and pathetic life," Zhao Letian said coldly, while his longsword swung down without reservations.
Shentu Yu needed to die. When Zhao Letian said these words, his goal was only to destroy Shentu Yu's Martial Arts Heart, to make him less cautious, in order to quickly end the battle. Because one must know, although he had comprehended the Four Layers Sword Force and surpassed Shentu Yu in strength, after the intense battle before, the True Essence Power within his body was nearly depleted. If Shentu Yu were to resist desperately with all his might, it would be troublesome. Pleasereadthischapteronitsoriginalplatform—*.
"Die? Should I die? No! I am the son of Qingzhou City's lord, ranked in the top ten geniuses of the Inner Sect of the Galaxy Sect, with boundless prospects, how can I die here? Zhao Letian, you wish to shake my resolve? Even if it leads to mutual destruction, I, this young master, will fight you with all I have. I don't want this four-star, low-grade Spiritual Artifact anymore, let it explode!" At this critical juncture, a sense of lethal danger awakened Shentu Yu, but by the time Zhao Letian had already swung his sword toward him. Unable to defend in time, Shentu Yu hardened his heart and suddenly began to pour a tremendous amount of True Yuan into his Spiritual Weapon Longsword, soon reaching the sword's limit, emitting a terrifyingly dazzling light.
"Not good! He's going to self-destruct the Spirit Artifact," Zhao Letian realized with a shock. Self-Destructing a Spirit Artifact was very dangerous, and at such a close range, the power of the explosion from a four-star low-grade Spiritual Artifact was enough to severely injure both of them. Clearly, Shentu Yu had gone all out, resolved to fight to the death.
Being too close, although Zhao Letian realized the danger, it was too late to withdraw. His longsword struck Shentu Yu's Spiritual Weapon Longsword, and immediately, the swords in their hands exploded simultaneously. The rampant True Essence Power spread out, a Destruction Storm instantly swept over the Life and Death Platform, engulfing the figures of both of them.
