Chapter 96: Chapter 96

Facing the incoming attack from Shentu Yu, Zhao Letian remained unafraid and raised his fist wrapped in black scale armor, smashing it down fiercely.

After the Viper Martial Soul merged with him, he was not sure to what extent his physical strength had become powerful, but one thing was for certain—this punch was enough to defeat Shentu Yu.

In an instant, the fists of the two collided solidly, and the violent shockwave spread out. The blood light on Shentu Yu's fist immediately spread to Zhao Letian's arm, attempting to erode his flesh and blood. Unexpectedly, the black scale armor on Zhao Letian's arm was incredibly hard, completely impervious to the corrosion of the blood light.

"How is this possible? The Blood Spirit Martial Soul has never been defeated!" Shentu Yu's eyes showed an incredulous horror. The corrosive power of the Blood Spirit Martial Soul was completely ineffective against Zhao Letian, a situation that had never occurred before.

"Is this the terror you wanted me to feel? Too weak!" Zhao Letian said indifferently, then the terrifying power hidden within his fist burst out instantly, like an unstoppable torrential wave, surging fiercely into Shentu Yu's body.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Following that, a series of crisp bone-cracking sounds were heard, and Shentu Yu's arm was instantly broken into several pieces. He couldn't help but let out a heart-wrenching scream, his arm hanging limply down, and his body flew backward without any resistance, smashing into the edge of the platform.

This punch, although it did not kill Shentu Yu outright, had stripped him of the ability to resist.

"You once said you wanted me to die on this platform in the most humiliating way possible, very well, I will end your life in this way. I will not kill you directly, that would be letting you off too easy. I will first cripple your cultivation, let you taste what it is like to become a useless person." Zhao Letian walked towards Shentu Yu, who was lying on the ground, and said coldly.

"No! No! You can't cripple my cultivation, without it, how can I stand in this Martial Arts World? Whatever you want, I will agree to it. I don't want Liu Fei anymore, you can have her back, you can do whatever you want with her, just please spare my life, don't cripple my cultivation." Seeing Zhao Letian approaching like the grim reaper, Shentu Yu completely abandoned any dignity as a martial artist, begging frantically, even ready to cast Liu Fei aside without hesitation.

"Just a pair of worn-out shoes, once thrown away, there is no need to pick them up and wear them again." Zhao Letian said indifferently. With that, he lifted his palm, gathering the powerful True Yuan power, preparing to shatter Shentu Yu's Qi Sea and cripple his cultivation.

As for Liu Fei, she had long lost any significance in Zhao Letian's heart; he would never forgo killing Shentu Yu for a woman who had once betrayed him.

"Zhao Letian, you can't touch him!"

Just then, Liu Fei, who was in the sky, rushed desperately onto the Life and Death Platform, standing in front of Shentu Yu, and said firmly to Zhao Letian. Catch the formatted version at *.

"He has already abandoned you, yet you still want to protect him? Can a woman be this cheap?" Zhao Letian, with True Yuan power gathered in his hands and ready to unleash, looked at Liu Fei without a trace of emotion.

"Whether I am contemptible or not is my business, and it's not your place to interfere. I'm just here to remind you, Shentu Yu is the son of Qingzhou City's City Lord. If you kill him, the City Lord Mansion will never let you off. From then on, you will have no foothold in Qingzhou City. Even your mother will suffer the consequences. Your only option is to release Shentu Yu!" Liu Fei coldly stated.

Shentu Yu is Liu Fei's entire hope; if Shentu Yu perishes, Liu Fei's future will turn to dust. Hence, no matter what, she would never stand by and watch Shentu Yu die at the hands of Zhao Letian.

"Yes! That's right! I am indeed the son of the City Lord. Zhao Letian, you can't kill me. If you do, you won't live either and neither will your mother and the people of the Zhao Family. They will all have to be buried with me. Think carefully, if you let me go now, I'll let bygones be bygones and definitely will not trouble you again." Shentu Yu saw a glimmer of hope and hurriedly echoed Liu Fei's words.

"Threatening me? I, Zhao Letian, swear to heaven, if anything untoward happens to my mother, the Shentu Family and the Liu Family will be eradicated from Qingzhou City, without a single one left! Move aside, or die alongside him," Zhao Letian said coldly.

Originally, Zhao Letian had no intention of killing Liu Fei. He wished to spare Liu Fei's despicable life so that she could witness his future achievements with her own eyes, and realize what she had missed out on. However, if Liu Fei insisted on courting death, he would not mind granting her wish.

"Disciple, just strike. If anyone dares to bully the weak using their power, or even meddle with your family, your master is willing to destroy cities and exterminate clans for you!" Sword Obsession's thunderous voice came rolling in. Liu Fei wanted to suppress Zhao Letian through power and force him to back down, so he had to let Liu Fei know that his disciple Zhao Letian also had support and was not without a powerful backing. He, Sword Obsession, was Zhao Letian's support.

"Thank you, Master!" A warm current surged in Zhao Letian's heart, and he nodded towards Sword Obsession on the Golden Warship above, acknowledging his gesture. Even though he was unafraid to fight his enemies to the death, having Sword Obsession as his backing greatly reduced his pressure.

"You? No matter how strong you are, you're still just a person from the True Martial Realm. Yet the Shentu Family of Qingzhou City is guarded by a Sect Martial Realm power. You, cannot protect Zhao Letian." Liu Fei glanced at Sword Obsession and said.

"A mere Sect Martial Realm person from a small city, how strong can they be? Little girl, just so you know, I, Sword Obsession, have slain those from the Sect Martial Realm!" Sword Obsession said coldly with a smirk.

The crowd all inhaled a breath of cold air and looked at Sword Obsession with shocked faces. To slay someone of the Sect Martial Realm with True Martial cultivation was considered monstrously talented. However, the deeds of Sword Obsession were little known, hence many were unaware that such a fierce person existed within their own sect.

Liu Fei immediately frowned. She knew the old ancestor of the Shentu Family, who was merely at the entry-level of the Sect Martial Realm. If Sword Obsession truly had slain people from the Sect Martial Realm, he might truly be capable of contending with that old ancestor of the Shentu Family, making the task of protecting Shentu Yu even more difficult.

"Zhao Letian, proceed. Don't worry about Qingzhou City, don't concern yourself with the Shentu Family, just go ahead. If you so wish, I can help you eliminate them right now."

"That's right, it's just a minor city after all. Zhao Letian, if you wish, I can wipe out that City Lord Mansion for you, and you can take over as City Lord."

"Zhao Letian is a genius of our Galaxy Sect. Whoever dares to lay a finger on him is openly making an enemy of the Galaxy Sect and only has a path of death awaiting them."

At this moment, those Sect Martial Realm Guardian Elders on the Golden Warship enthusiastically spoke out, generously offering their olive branches to Zhao Letian.
