The young man and the girl were suddenly startled and quickly looked over, only to see Zhao Letian stepping on a flying sword, swiftly flying towards them, with the jadeite mantis solemnly hovering behind him.

"Mutated spiritual beast, Fiery Flame Mantis?"

The young man didn't pay too much attention to Zhao Letian; instead, his eyes were fixed greedily on the fiery-flamed mantis beside him.

Mutated demon beasts are extremely rare, possess tremendous potential, and astonishing strength; every Martial Artist wishes to possess one, and he was no exception.

"Where's the Black Demon Tiger?" Zhao Letian asked in a deep voice, only seeing the two people in front of him, without any sign of the Black Demon Tiger.

"Who are you? How do you know we have a Black Demon Tiger?" The young man immediately furrowed his brows with a sense of caution, as the youth before him somehow knew about his possession of the Black Demon Tiger, which likely meant he had come prepared.

"Hand over the Black Demon Tiger and all the precious items you carry, then take a palm strike from me, and afterwards, scram," Zhao Letian said directly.

"Oh? You wouldn't happen to be here to stand up for those five Primordial Martial Realm ants, would you?" the young man speculated.

"So what if I am?" Zhao Letian replied indifferently.

"Hmph! Overestimating your own abilities, merely at the peak of True Martial First Realm, an entire realm below me, what right do you have to stand up for them? The same words back to you, leave behind the Fiery Flame Mantis and all the precious items you possess, then take a palm strike from me, and if you survive, you can also scram like those five ants," the young man said with disdainful snort.

"You've had your chance, and since you don't cherish it, then stay here forever," Zhao Letian said coldly, his eyes becoming sharp. The man's previous palm strike had harbored the intent to kill, and had it not been for the robust physique of the five tigers, whose physical strength far surpassed that of their peers, that strike would have ended their lives. Anyone daring to kill people Zhao Letian wanted to protect would pay with blood.

"What an arrogant lad, I've yet to see someone as audacious as you within the Inner Sect, what's your name?" the young man laughed in anger, asking curiously. He knew quite a few people at the peak of the True Martial First Realm, but he didn't know of a Zhao Letian.

"Are you, the number one genius of the Outer Sect, Zhao Letian?" the delicate girl beside the young man looked carefully at Zhao Letian and asked in disbelief.

She had once seen Zhao Letian from a distance at the outskirts of Huangquan Island, but at that time, Zhao Letian only had the cultivation of Primordial Martial Seventh Realm, not even as high as hers, yet now this Zhao Letian before her had already reached the peak of True Martial First Realm, which she found hard to believe.

"Zhao Letian? The one who, three months ago on Huangquan Island, with Primordial Martial Seventh Realm conquered Luo Hao, and declared that he would challenge Shentu Yu in the sect's grand competition after three months? Impossible, it's absolutely impossible, how could his cultivation advance so much in just three short months?" The young man also said in disbelief, although he had never met Zhao Letian, he had heard of his name.

"So what if it's me? Remember well on the road to Huangquan, the one who sends you on your way is none other than Zhao Letian. If you seek revenge, come find me in your next life, Dragon Roar Nine Sword, slash," Zhao Letian said coldly, at the same time pointing his fingers like a sword, slashing out a majestic sword light.

With the dragon roar resonating, the young man was taken aback and his color changed drastically, feeling his internal breath stall and nearly falling from the sky, he hurriedly landed on the ground, putting the girl aside, then with a backhanded strike of his sword, he slashed towards Zhao Letian's sword light. Thiscontentwasfirstreleasedon*.

"Boom!"

This young man's strength was somewhat stronger than Yan Kuan's, but he still couldn't withstand Zhao Letian's swordswing, and was directly repelled, his clothes torn into strips by the invisible Sword Qi within the Dragon Roar sound, in an utterly sorry state. Fortunately, he was wearing Defensive Armor, otherwise, he would have been seriously injured if not dead.

"How is this possible? Your True Essence Power is almost as strong as mine?" The young man felt numbness in his palms, the longsword in his hands trembling, as he stared in disbelief at Zhao Letian descending from the sky.

The young man's Cultivation Level was at the Peak of True Martial Second Realm, and his True Yuan strength should have been far superior to Zhao Letian's, but the power of True Yuan from that last sword strike was almost equal to his, which was something he couldn't accept.

However, in fact, this situation was quite normal, as Zhao Letian cultivated the "Ninefold Dark Armor Technique," which is unique in allowing Martial Artists to possess a True Essence Power that is stronger by three parts compared to others of the same level.

Furthermore, when breaking through to the True Martial Realm, due to the reckless consumption of a large amount of elixirs, his Qi Sea was forcibly expanded beyond its limits, making his True Yuan power even more immense.

Additionally, the "Nine Heavens Dark Armor Technique" has already transformed into a Middle Stage Xuan-level Technique, whereas the young martial artist is only practicing an Early Stage Xuan-level Technique. Compared with Zhao Letian, there is an insurmountable gap.

Taking these reasons together, even though Zhao Letian's cultivation level was not as high as that of the young man, the amount of True Yuan power in his body was almost on par with the latter. However, due to the difference in cultivation levels, the quality of his True Yuan power was not as refined as that of his opponent.

"Whoosh!"

Zhao Letian didn't waste words with his opponent. After landing from the air, he wielded his cyan longsword, activated the Three Armor Power, and leaped toward the young man, slashing down with his sword.

This person's strength was extremely formidable. It was difficult to kill him with just True Essence Sword Light; it required a powerful physical strength to swiftly end the battle.

"Come out, Black Demon Tiger!"

The young man suddenly shouted loudly, then took a bag from his waist. A flash of light followed, and the True Martial Realm demon beast, the Black Demon Tiger, which was over two meters long, sprang out, heading straight for Zhao Letian.

The young man also realized that Zhao Letian's strength was terrifying. If he didn't go all out, he might truly perish here today, which is why he released the Black Demon Tiger.

"Spiritual Beast Bag? Beast Taming Ring?" Zhao Letian's expression shifted. The bag that released the Black Demon Tiger was a type of spatial container, similar to a storage ring, but it was specifically designed to hold spiritual beasts. It seemed that the other five Black Demon Tiger cubs were also collected by the young man into the Spiritual Beast Bag. As for the cyan ring worn on the Black Demon Tiger's neck, it was a Spiritual Beast Ring used to forcibly control spiritual beasts, also known as a Beast Taming Ring.

"Roar!"

The bloodline of tiger-type demon beasts is incredibly noble. After the Black Demon Tiger came out, although it was suppressed by the Dragon Roar, its ferocity was also stimulated. It let out a roar and stood before Zhao Letian like a mountain, not retreating at all. At the same time, its ink-black eyes emitted a strange light, causing Zhao Letian to suddenly be taken aback, feeling dizzy and sleepy.

"Not good, it's the Demon Pupil Illusion Technique." A jolt suddenly went through Zhao Letian's mind, and he immediately remembered that this was the natural Pupil Skill of the Black Demon Tiger. However, even though he understood, he was unable to wake up immediately.

"Ha-ha, go to hell!" Seizing the moment Zhao Letian was affected by the Black Demon Tiger's illusion, the young man rushed forward, swinging his sword at Zhao Letian's head.

"Squeak!"

At the critical moment, the Fiery Flame Mantis flying in the air let out a sharp cry. It waved its forelimbs and unleashed two crimson sword lights that crossed over, slicing across the Black Demon Tiger's body and directly killing it.

"Fighting me in close combat is your biggest folly, die."

Hearing the sharp cry of the Fiery Flame Mantis, Zhao Letian instantly woke up and saw the young man rushing toward him. He then swung his sword in a reflexive counter-attack.

"Crack!"

As a result, Zhao Letian's full-powered sword strike ended up killing the young man, along with his sword.

"Ah? Young Master Letian, don't kill me. I have nothing to do with this. It was he who snatched the Black Demon Tiger, and it was he who injured that boy. I haven't done anything. As long as you're willing to spare me, I'm willing to do anything." The young girl, with a terrified face, fell at Zhao Letian's feet, tightly hugging his legs and rubbing against him with her soft body, pleading earnestly.
