Zhao Letian did not stop the Qi Brothers' massacre; on the contrary, he also pursued those who tried to escape.
Those who had survived to this point must possess some valuable items, and he did not want to miss out.
Naturally, not everyone was fleeing. Some, who believed themselves to be formidable, were not afraid of the Qi Brothers and, instead of running, they launched an attack on them.
The Qi Brothers wanted to snatch their jade tokens, and these individuals also desired the Qi Brothers' jade tokens. Both brothers ranked among the top ten, and obtaining their tokens could make one instantly rich.
Some others took advantage of the chaos to attack those nearby.
"A bunch of fools, even thinking of counter-killing us two brothers, utterly ignorant of death."
Qi Hong wielded his curved saber with ease, recklessly reaping lives while scoffing disdainfully.
Those who attacked the two brothers felt good about themselves, but their actual combat strength was pitifully weak. In front of the two brothers, they were powerless.
Meanwhile, Zhao Letian was also frantically seizing jade tokens.
"Hand over your jade token, otherwise, die."
Zhao Letian caught up with someone who had just killed another martial artist and said indifferently.
"What are you, daring to act recklessly in front of this young master, seeking death."
The man, having just defeated a formidable opponent and brimming with confidence, didn't take Zhao Letian seriously. With a bellow, he swung his longsword at him.
Zhao Letian's figure flickered, swiftly passing by the man, while the flash of his sword sent the man's head spinning into the air, blood spurting like a fountain.
This wasn't his first kill; his message to everyone was the same: either hand over the token or die, those who complied lived, the disobedient were killed.
At first glance, this might seem cruel, but compared to others, Zhao Letian was already significantly more merciful. Not to mention others, such as the Qi Brothers who slaughtered on sight, leaving no chance for the weak to survive.
Nevertheless, even the approach of the Qi Brothers was not entirely unjustifiable because before entering this secret realm, both Her Highness the Princess and the old master of the Sect Martial Realm had warned everyone. Every martial artist entering should be ready to fall at any moment; otherwise, they should have never come.
About fifteen minutes later, only a dozen people remained on the vast square, the rest had turned into corpses scattered everywhere.
These remaining few were top-ranked, powerful geniuses. They didn't rush to fight but tentatively formed three camps, each warily watching the others.
The first camp consisted of the two Qi Brothers.
The second camp included only Zhao Letian.
The last camp comprised all the remaining people.
"Zhao Zilong, let's join forces. Although you're ranked seventh, alone you cannot contend against the Qi Brothers."
"That's right, both brothers are ranked in the top ten, especially Qi Hong who ranks sixth, even above you. If you try to fight them alone, you have no chance of winning."
"Zhao Zilong, let's team up and kill the Qi Brothers, and share their treasures."
The several martial artists suggested to Zhao Letian.
"A motley crew, how could joining forces help? In front of us, no matter how you struggle, you'll only meet death." Thank you for reading. This was brought to you by *.
Qi Hong scoffed disdainfully but didn't rush to attack. After the intense battle, both brothers had consumed a lot of energy, and since those facing them were all top geniuses, they weren't easy to handle and needed to rest for a moment.
"There's no need to team up with you. Instead, I'll give you a suggestion: hand over your items to me, and I can let you live and leave this place."
Zhao Letian said with a smirk. Teaming up with these people was out of the question because he knew that after they'd killed the Qi brothers together, they would turn on him next.
Most importantly, with his strength, there was no need to ally with them.
"Hmph, arrogant! What right do you have to take our possessions? If we wanted to leave, we could do so anytime without your permission. Since you fail to see reason, prepare to die with the Qi brothers."
The martial artists showed contempt.
"I already gave you the chance; since you do not appreciate it, you can't blame others."
Zhao Letian stated indifferently.
"Zhao Zilong, it seems you're not completely foolish. How about this: let's first join forces to kill these pests, and then you can settle a duel with us brothers? I believe, being the top candidate in the previous assessment, you should have that confidence."
Qi Hong looked at Zhao Letian and taunted with a playful smile.
Zhao Letian responded with a faint smile and nodded.
For him, the method didn't matter; these people's belongings would all be his.
"Not good, run! With these three teamed up, we can't resist."
The several martial artists turned pale with shock, and one of them exclaimed and transformed into a streak of light, fleeing away.
"Trying to escape? Too late, die."
Qi Sheng's eyes were icy as he looked at the person, swinging his saber and sent a blade light that instantly caught up and killed him.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..."
Meanwhile, the others also hastily fled.
However, Zhao Letian and the Qi brothers naturally wouldn't let them escape alive.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
The next moment, amidst flashes of blade light and bursts of Sword Qi, the dozen martial artists, unable to resist three top-ranked individuals, quickly fell one after another, with their belongings falling into the hands of Zhao Letian and the Qi brothers.
"Now it's your turn, Zhao Zilong. I didn't expect you actually had the courage to team up with us to kill these pests. I admire your bravery, but I must say, it's very foolish. These pests, insignificant as they are, could still be challenging if they teamed up. If you had joined them, maybe you could have contended with us, but now alone you'll only meet a dead end."
After killing the dozen martial artists, Qi Hong looked at Zhao Letian with a cold smile.
"Being fair, I gave them a chance and will also give you brothers one: leave your belongings and get out of my sight, or else, die."
Zhao Letian ignored Qi Hong's words and stated flatly.
