"Scared now? Too bad it's too late. Today, I shall let you witness what a true Martial Soul is."
Little Overlord Ye Rui, staring at Zhao Letian, his face showing a scornful sneer.
After releasing his Golden Flood Dragon Martial Soul, he felt a significant increase in strength and was utterly confident that he could defeat Zhao Letian.
Zhao Letian remained silent, giving no response to Ye Rui.
But that wasn't because he was scared. Instead, he was attentively sensing the mysterious power hidden deep within his body.
Since the moment Ye Rui summoned his Golden Flood Dragon Martial Soul, an unknown force inside Zhao Letian's body had been trying to awaken. Even the Holy Spirit Power he had absorbed from the Gray Wolf Kingdom was aiding this force in its awakening.
However, for some reason, that force could not break through its shackles to fully awaken.
"Could that force be my Bloodline Power?" Zhao Letian thought to himself.
Martial Artists with a strong background often inherit powerful Bloodline Powers and transmitted Martial Souls from their ancestors.
Being a scion with the Royal Bloodline of Dajin Country, Zhao Letian also had the potential to inherit his ancestors' Bloodline Power and Martial Soul.
But as it seemed now, he had not inherited the Golden Flood Dragon Martial Soul of the Dajin ancestors, and his Bloodline Power had not awakened. He did not know whether it was simply his bad luck or if he needed some special method to awaken the Royal Family's Bloodline Power of the Dajin Country.
Meanwhile, within Zhao Letian's Soul Space, the eyes of his Little Snake Martial Soul were fixed greedily on Ye Rui's Golden Flood Dragon Martial Soul.
"The Little Snake Martial Soul wants to devour Ye Rui's Golden Flood Dragon Martial Soul?"
Zhao Letian's brow furrowed slightly; he received an intent from the Little Snake Martial Soul.
From past experience, devouring certain Martial Souls could help the Little Snake Martial Soul evolve rapidly.
However, ever since a long time ago, when the Little Snake Martial Soul devoured the Blood Spirit Martial Soul of the Shentu family, it had not devoured any other Martial Souls.
Now that the Little Snake Martial Soul finally wanted to devour another Martial Soul again, it should be a good thing for Zhao Letian.
The problem was, the target the Little Snake Martial Soul chose to devour was causing Zhao Letian quite a headache.
Who was Ye Rui? The Fourteenth Prince of the Dajin Country, and also a renowned genius in the Royal Capital, he was undoubtedly given great importance within the Royal Family of the Dajin Country. If Zhao Letian hastily killed him, it would definitely bring trouble upon himself.
For this very reason, when Ye Rui stepped forward to provoke him, Zhao Letian did not demand a life-and-death battle as he did with Wang Zhao; otherwise, he would have already gone all out to obliterate Ye Rui. S@p#o.t% an e+rro!r$? Visit the o-r#ig!i%n+a.l- po.s^t on M@&+V.L#EM$P.Y^&$R.
"This punch, let's see how you defend against it."
Just then, Ye Rui let out a deep shout, his fist wrapped in the phantom of the Golden Flood Dragon Martial Soul, and he launched it directly at Zhao Letian.
"Sky-reaching Finger."
Zhao Letian's eyebrows knit together, he pointed upwards, gathering an immense finger phantom, and with an astonishing momentum, slammed it toward Ye Rui.
Sky-reaching Finger, a truly Earth-level Martial Technique, was also one of Zhao Letian's strongest trump cards, even more powerful than Thunderbolt Fist.
In an instant, Ye Rui's fist collided with Zhao Letian's finger phantom.
As a result, under the terrifying power of the Golden Flood Dragon Martial Soul, Ye Rui's fist was unstoppable, shattering Zhao Letian's finger phantom with ruthless force, sending Zhao Letian flying backward, vomiting blood.
Seeing this scene, the genius from Dajin Country who was just now feeling depressed because Ye Rui was slightly bested by Zhao Letian, finally revealed a satisfied smile.
That's more like it. Little Overlord Ye Rui is also considered a prodigy blessed by heaven in Dajin Country, how could he lose to someone of the same rank.
At the same time, seeing Zhao Letian spitting blood, Wanyan Zheng and the others also showed a cold smile of schadenfreude.
In their eyes, spitting blood was nothing. If Ye Rui could kill Zhao Letian, or cripple Zhao Letian's cultivation, that would truly be satisfying.
"Why didn't you use the power of your Martial Soul? Are you looking down on me?"
However, Ye Rui, who had just sent Zhao Letian flying, had a gloomy face, staring intently at Zhao Letian, extremely angry.
Just now, Zhao Letian did not summon his Martial Soul, but Ye Rui summoned his Golden Flood Dragon Martial Soul. Therefore, even though he won against Zhao Letian, Ye Rui didn't feel any sense of achievement. Instead, he felt humiliated by Zhao Letian.
"Because you are too weak, not worthy of me using the power of my Martial Soul."
Zhao Letian did not feel discouraged by the punch he had taken, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he indifferently spoke.
In fact, his Little Snake Martial Soul was eager to fight, wanting to come out and compete against the Golden Flood Dragon Martial Soul, as if it were a demon beast with sentience.
But considering that he had once used the Little Snake Martial Soul under the identity of Zhao Letian, it was not advisable to reveal it in front of others, so he did not summon the Martial Soul.
As for the Sword Martial Soul, it was even more unsuitable to use.
Although it was not rare for a person to have a Sword Martial Soul, Zhao Letian's strongest method in the past was his swordsmanship. If he summoned the Sword Martial Soul, others would more easily link him to the Zhao Letian identity.
"I'm too weak? Humph, arrogant. If you dare, summon your Martial Soul and fight me."
Ye Rui responded with a furious laugh, coldly speaking.
"If you want a fight, it's possible, but the rules need to be changed."
Zhao Letian looked at Ye Rui expressionlessly, indifferently speaking.
"Oh? How should they be changed?"
Ye Rui, with a curious look in his eyes, asked in a deep voice.
"You said just now, I only needed to take one of your punches, otherwise, we would be in a fight to the death. However, you threw two punches in succession. Can I take that to mean, you've already decided to fight me to the death? If so, then let's settle the matter of dominance here today, in front of the geniuses from the three major kingdoms, in a life-and-death fight. Do you dare?"
Zhao Letian stared into Ye Rui's eyes, an unyielding aura shining in his own, as if telling Ye Rui that this battle would be either your death or mine, asking if he dared to gamble his life.
The Little Snake Martial Soul wanted to devour Ye Rui's Golden Flood Dragon Martial Soul, Zhao Letian was looking for an opportunity to kill him. If he dared to accept the challenge, Zhao Letian would dare to kill him in front of everyone. With the witnesses from the three major kingdoms, he believed that even if he killed Ye Rui, the Royal Family of Dajin could not touch him.
"You want a life-and-death battle with me? Humph, do you think I've been frightened into greatness? To fight is to fight, what is there to fear."
Ye Rui sneered coldly, without any hesitation, he agreed and then held nothing back, not only did the force of his True Yuan emerge vigorously from his body, but also the power of the Nine-layered Formation.
The title of Little Overlord of the Royal Capital of Ye Rui is not an empty name, he has dominated the Royal Capital for more than a decade, it has always been others who fear him, he has never feared anyone, let alone Zhao Letian, a mere equal-rank individual from Gray Wolf Kingdom.
"Very well, your life, I'll take it."
A hint of joy flashed in Zhao Letian's eyes, by doing this, he could rightfully take Ye Rui's Golden Flood Dragon Martial Soul.
"Enough, this battle ends here. Ye Rui, come back."
But just at this moment, a voice that brooked no dissent suddenly rang out.
