At the moment when they were affected by Zhao Letian's arrogance, Xiao Yan and the others were all shocked, feeling their Nine-layered Peak Sword Power involuntarily weaken a fraction.

On the contrary, Zhao Letian's Nine-layered Peak Sword Force, as if it had taken a potent tonic, not only remained unpressed back into his body by the other five types of Nine-layered Peak Sword Power, but it suddenly surged in momentum, repelling the other five types, and even continued to advance, seemingly intent on suppressing those five types of Nine-layered Peak Sword Power in turn.

"How is this possible?"

"What kind of power is this?"

"My Divine Soul Power is actually being affected."

"Why has my Nine-layered Peak Sword Power suddenly weakened?"

"This is impossible! He can actually suppress our strength."

The five great prodigies stared at Zhao Letian, incredulously exclaiming. Love this story? Show your support on *.

They understood that, in fact, Zhao Letian's strength hadn't increased, and his Nine-layered Peak Sword Force was still at the same level.

However, faced with Zhao Letian's boundless arrogance, they felt cowardice; deep inside, they had the thought of not daring to confront Zhao Letian head-on.

"Why is this happening? How could I, the son of a noble family, not dare to confront him directly? Even without the other four, I alone could easily defeat him!"

The most shocked of all was Xiao Yan from Skyfire Country, his mind overwhelmed with confusion, unable to comprehend why such a weak thought had arisen in his heart.

You must know that he was ranked fifth in Skyfire Country, on the same level as Nalan Yun from Gray Wolf Kingdom and even stronger than Yu Wenhui.

Back in the Royal Capital of Dajin Country, he had never considered Zhao Letian as an opponent, confident that he could flatten Zhao Letian with a slap.

It was not until recently, after witnessing the process of Zhao Letian slaying Wanyan Zheng, that he began to take Zhao Letian seriously as an opponent.

But even so, in his heart, Zhao Letian was merely qualified enough to be his opponent.

In his opinion, defeating Zhao Letian, although difficult and requiring some effort, would inevitably end in his victory, without any doubt.

In other words, no matter what, Xiao Yan believed his strength was far superior to Zhao Letian's, and there was absolutely no reason to fear him.

But just a moment ago, he was truly shocked by Zhao Letian's arrogance, and deep within, involuntarily a sense of cowardice emerged.

"Could it be because I do not have enough confidence to defeat him on my own and instead chose to join forces with the other four?"

Xiao Yan's thoughts raced, and suddenly it dawned on him, realizing the crux of the problem.

He had to admit that even before the battle had begun, he had already developed reservations about Zhao Letian, and the arrogance emanating from Zhao Letian had magnified that sliver of doubt in his heart, to the point where he eventually lost his composure, and the Nine-layered Peak Sword Power weakened considerably.

At the same time, the others also quickly grasped the crux of the issue.

All of them were geniuses from various countries, naturally not too far behind Xiao Yan.

Their situation was the same as Xiao Yan's; before the battle even started, they all harbored apprehension towards Zhao Letian. When hit by Zhao Letian's arrogant aura, those seeds of apprehension sprouted rapidly, directly impacting their mindset.

However, realizing the root of the problem did not provide any help to them; on the contrary, it made them all the more fearful.

Because, they had to admit a fact that this youth, once seen by them as insignificant as an ant, had already grown to a point where he could be considered their equal, and perhaps even surpassing them in excellence.

If they weren't lacking the confidence to face Zhao Letian alone, why would they gather so many people to confront him?

Under the influence of such a mindset, the Nine-layered Peak Sword Power displayed by Xiao Yan and his comrades grew weaker and weaker.

Meanwhile, Zhao Letian's Nine-layered Peak Sword Force was continuously growing stronger, swiftly reclaiming the space he had lost, and even began to quickly squeeze the space occupied by the other five's Nine-layered Peak Sword Power, causing Xiao Yan and the others to frown tightly, their faces turning pale, and their foreheads drenched in sweat.

If the joint forces of these five individuals were to be suppressed by Zhao Letian alone, then next, their morale would likely crumble completely. There would be no need to continue fighting; defeat was certain.

"No good, we can't keep this up. We must make a move immediately!"

The same thought surfaced in the minds of Xiao Yan and his comrades, as they exchanged grave looks with each other.

"Attack!"

The next moment, the five cried out in unison, wielding their Spiritual Artifacts and executing their most powerful Martial Techniques, ruthlessly striking towards Zhao Letian.

Over at Xiao Yan's side, a Longsword enflamed with fierce flames cut through the air, its momentum rainbow-like, slashing down a terrifying sword radiance dozens of feet long, descending from the sky and chopping towards Zhao Letian.

Yu Wenhui also wielded a powerful Mid-grade Spiritual Weapon Longsword, sending out a sword radiance as cold as moonlight sprinkling down, so frigid it seemed to freeze time and space, fiercely slicing towards Zhao Letian.

Ao Tian, holding a curved blade, unleashed a massive blade radiance, transforming into a ferocious dark giant wolf, hurling itself directly at Zhao Letian.

Xu Ye's side erupted with a flaming broadsword striking down fiercely, a peerless blade radiance that seemed capable of splitting mountains and parting seas, its terrifying momentum as if intending to cleave Zhao Letian in half.

As for the last one, Tan Qing from Thunder Swamp Country, held a giant Thunder Axe in both hands, making a cleaving chop from mid-air, bringing with it the Power of thunder and lightning, aiming directly at Zhao Letian's head.

"You all, deserve death!"

Facing the terrifying onslaught of attacks from the five prodigies, Zhao Letian showed no fear. His gaze cold and piercing, he slowly raised the sword in his hand, the tip pointing straight at the sky, a sword force of invincible momentum surging upward, as if to pierce the heavens.

"Boom!"

The next instant, the Invincible Sword in Zhao Letian's hand instantly condensed a terrifying sword radiance tens of feet long, carrying forces from various powers and the perfectly unified realm of martial Dao, without any fancy movements, he slashed out a single sword strike, directly sweeping across the five prodigies.

This sword's sole characteristic was the extreme terror of its strength and the ultimate speed, both reaching the maximum limits of Zhao Letian's current capabilities.

"Shick! Shick! Shick!..."

The next moment, as the sword radiance slashed down, blood splattered.

Xu Ye and Ao Tian, at the forefront, were directly cut in half and fell on the spot, while Tan Qing, following behind, had one of his arms chopped off by Zhao Letian, and the huge Thunder Axe was sent flying through the air.

As for the strongest – Xiao Yan and Yu Wenhui – they too spat out blood as they were sent flying backward.
