After leaving the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower, Zhao Letian was on his way to Zhao Mansion, his mind buzzing with thoughts.

Since awakening his second Martial Soul and acquiring the heritage memories of the Dragon Clan, he had been pondering how best to utilize this vast treasure trove.

Practicing the Cultivation Techniques, Martial Techniques, secret techniques, and Divine Skills from the inherited memories was naturally the most straightforward method. Besides that, he had also considered using the countless techniques as bargaining chips for trading to obtain other cultivation resources.

However, items such as Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques were fundamental to various factions and sects, making them incredibly important. Such items were rarely sold on the market, and even if some were occasionally available, they would be snapped up quickly. If he recklessly offered a large amount of techniques for sale, he would inevitably invite lethal trouble. Hence, he had been hesitant before coming to Ten Thousand Treasure Tower.

Yet, the three treasures Ji Hongling had mentioned in the end were all things he desperately wanted, which finally led him to make up his mind to take the risk and try selling one of the Cultivation Techniques to savor the thrill of seeking wealth amidst danger.

However, he certainly did not want to reveal his true identity, to avoid attracting trouble. Naturally, he needed to return and prepare first.

"Hmm? A murderous aura!"

Unexpectedly, while he was walking, Zhao Letian instinctively sensed a deadly danger, much like a person walking in a forest being targeted by a lurking wild beast, causing him to turn pale with fright as his back was instantly soaked in cold sweat and all his hairs stood on end.

"Zhao Family's genius, go to die!"

Just as Zhao Letian was trying to locate the source of the dangerous aura, a dark shadow suddenly burst out from a dark corner beside the street. Its speed was incredibly fast, unbelievably so. With a cold shout, it swung a sharp dagger directly aiming at Zhao Letian's throat.

"No! I must not die!" The speed of the shadow was too fast, so fast that Zhao Letian had no time to react, making him truly feel the threat of death. It seemed as if in the next moment, his life would be harvested. However, he was not willing to give up. Having been reborn, he was supposed to reign supreme and reach the pinnacle of martial arts. He had only just begun; how could he be content to stop here?

"Your life is not for you to decide!" In an instant, the dagger in the shadow's hand was already close to the skin on Zhao Letian's neck.

"Second Armor Power!"

At the critical moment, Zhao Letian roared, activating the "Nine Layers of Black Armor Technique." Instantly, two layers of fine, hard Black Scale Armor appeared around his throat, overlapping precisely where the shadow's dagger was about to pass, while he also desperately dodged backwards.

"Clang!"

At the next moment, the dagger in the shadow's hand swept across Zhao Letian's throat, which was covered by the Black Scale Armor, producing a harsh metallic cutting sound. Eventually, it cut through two layers of mysterious armor, leaving a three-inch-long blood mark on Zhao Letian's neck, and blood immediately flowed out.

"This is impossible! You're actually not dead!" Thе саnоniсаl sоurсе fоr this соntеnt: М|V|L2ЕМРYR.

After the shadow and Zhao Letian passed each other, he exclaimed in disbelief. That strike just now was meticulously planned and perfectly executed, meant to sever the throat in one move and instantly kill Zhao Letian. However, unexpectedly, two thick layers of Black Scale Armor had grown on Zhao Letian's neck, resulting in the dagger only scraping through one layer of skin and leaving Zhao Letian with just a minor injury.

"Very well, to kill someone like me who is only at the Primordial Martial Seventh Realm, you directly sent a warrior from the True Martial Realm and even used a dagger of Spiritual Artifact Level. You really think highly of me, Zhao Letian." Zhao Letian touched the wound on his neck, his face grim as he stared at the black-clad middle-aged man in front of him, "Tell me, who sent you, or else today, with your blood, I shall test my sword."

"Hmph! What arrogant youth! Everyone says the Zhao Family's prodigy is boundlessly proud, and seeing you today proves it's not without basis; you're even more arrogant than I imagined, but also more foolish. I am a person of the True Martial Realm. Even if my sneak attack failed, I can easily kill you. Yet, you're not running for your life but instead want to test your sword with my blood? You're truly seeking your own death." The man in black gripped his dagger, staring at Zhao Letian, his gaze venomous and disdainful.

"Is that so? If you were really confident, shouldn't you have openly killed me without stooping to disgrace your dignity and pride by sneak attacking someone from a younger generation of the Primordial Martial Realm?" Zhao Letian indifferently said, at the same time drawing the newly bought Three-Star Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact longsword from his back.

"A Three-Star Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact? No wonder you are so bold. Is this your reliance? Ridiculous, a mere Primordial Martial Realm person, who can't even unleash the power of a One-Star Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact, let alone a Three-Star Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact. Such treasure is truly wasted in your hands. Hand it over quietly, and perhaps I might spare your life." The man in black greedily eyed the longsword in Zhao Letian's hands. His dagger was only a One-Star Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact, and he believed Zhao Letian, a mere Primordial Martial Realm person, didn't deserve such a fine Spiritual Artifact; he had to take that sword no matter what.

"You've made a very foolish decision. One sword, With the Wind." Seeing that the man in black was unlikely to divulge anything, Zhao Letian had no desire to waste more words. He coldly shouted, and immediately his figure flickered, wielding his longsword, turning into Six Shadows, and charging directly at the man in black.

"Petty skill! Such martial technique might let you dominate the Primordial Martial Realm, but in front of a True Martial Realm powerhouse, it's nothing. A mere slap of True Essence Power is something you cannot withstand!" The man in black disdainfully sneered, flipping his hand to release a powerful Palm Seal formed from True Essence Power, directly blasting towards Zhao Letian's Six Shadows.

"Sword Intent!"

However, before the man in black's Palm Seal could hit, Zhao Letian's Six Shadows merged into one, and the power of his longsword suddenly surged. At the same time, he displayed his Sword Intent, and instantly, his longsword was imbued with an incomparable and powerful aura, as if possessing the force of nature, dramatically increasing its power, which made the man in black involuntarily turn pale. Although he was far superior to Zhao Letian in cultivation, he was weaker in the mastery of intent, and his strength inevitably was suppressed. What shocked him even more was that although Zhao Letian couldn't fully unleash the power of the Three-Star Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact, wielding it seemed effortless. The power of this strike gave him a terrifying sense of being unable to resist.

"Die!"

At the next moment, Zhao Letian fearlessly raised his sword and slashed towards the man's Palm Seal. Although he was blasted by the True Essence Power and spat blood, he managed to break the Palm Seal. Seizing the moment when the man in black was stunned by the Sword Intent, Zhao Letian swiftly thrust his sword at his throat, cleanly killing him.

"Pity, our cultivations differed too much; I could only aim for quick resolution and went all out to kill him. Otherwise, perhaps I could have captured him and found out who was really behind this." Zhao Letian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, walked up to the corpse of the man in black, first took his Spiritual Artifact dagger, then searched his body and found some elixirs and Primordial Stones. Although not much, they were better than nothing.
