Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned towards Zhao Letian.
But Zhao Letian merely furrowed his brows.
Ye Chenxiao's words had given Ye Rui a way out, saving the face of the Dajin Royal Family, but at the same time, he maliciously shifted the focus of the conflict onto him, which was extremely unkind.
If it were not for the alliance already formed with Ye Chenxiao, Zhao Letian would definitely have remembered this grievance.
However, speaking of which, Yu Kun had already humiliated him and Ye Rui alike, calling them useless, so even if Ye Chenxiao hadn't pushed Zhao Letian forward, Zhao Letian would still confront Yu Kun.
At the same time, Yu Kun's gaze also turned towards Zhao Letian.
"Zhao Zilong, from the Gray Wolf Kingdom, at the peak of True Martial Eighth Realm, slightly stronger than this little bastard, but in my eyes, still a pitiful trash, utterly unworthy of entering the Imperial Secret Realm. You should roll back as well."
Yu Kun said with a disdainful sneer.
"Who are you calling a bastard?"
Ye Rui had already given up on continuing the fight, but the humiliation from Yu Kun was unbearable; even if it cost him his life, he had to make Yu Kun pay today.
"Exactly, I'm talking about you, Ye Rui of Dajin Country. Isn't it obvious? Trash!"
Yu Kun coldly smirked, unapologetically.
"You're going too far, today I will make you pay the price!" * is the home of this chapter
Ye Rui, furious to the point of bursting, his body surged with violent True Yuan Power, and was about to charge at Yu Kun.
But at that moment, Crown Prince Ye Zhenxiao of Dajin suddenly spoke indifferently but firmly, his voice leaving no room for doubt.
"Big brother, but..."
Ye Rui was startled and hastily stopped, but still looked at Ye Zhenxiao unwillingly and frowned.
"You should know my temperament well, I never repeat my words," said Ye Zhenxiao emotionlessly.
Ye Rui clenched his teeth and then backed down.
He knew, for the princes of Dajin Country, Ye Zhenxiao's words were commands; he could only comply and not argue, or else, it was seeking death.
"Not even having the courage to fight to the death, you trash, will never achieve anything on the path of martial arts in your lifetime."
Yu Kun still refused to stop, continued with a cold sneer, mocking.
Everyone hearing this furrowed their brows, muttering how vicious this man was; having defeated Ye Rui was not enough, he even tried to shatter Ye Rui's Martial Arts Heart, creating inner demons to hinder his future cultivation.
Although Ye Rui also perceived Yu Kun's intention and desperately suppressed his anger, his Martial Arts Heart, unknowingly, began to waver.
"As for you, Zhao Zilong, in my opinion, you're even worse than that trash Ye Rui. Although he is weak, at least he dared to fight me; but you, you don't even have the courage to stand up, merely trash among trash. I really don't know where you got the courage to sit and drink with us geniuses, do you even deserve it?"
Yu Kun watched as Ye Rui had almost been beat down by him, and immediately locked his gaze onto Zhao Letian, mocking him with a sneer.
He thought that Zhao Letian was not daring to stand up to him because he was cowardly and afraid of battle.
However, upon hearing his mockery, the geniuses from the Four Great Kingdoms all revealed strange expressions in their eyes.
Who was Zhao Letian? They already knew all about him; during their time in the Dajin Country Royal Palace, he fought Ye Rui, defeated Lin Yu – when had he ever been timid?
Especially recently, within the Dark Demon Domain, Zhao Letian had defeated five great talents with a single sword strike, casually killed Wanyan Zheng, Xu Ye, and Ao Tian, and disabled an arm of Tan Qing from Thunder Swamp Country, as well as injured Xiao Yan and Yu Wenhui.
With such formidable strength, how could Zhao Letian fear this Yu Kun?
In fact, in Zhao Letian's eyes, this Yu Kun was nothing but a jumping clown, no different from trash like Wanyan Zheng, only slightly stronger.
Zhao Letian did not take action directly only because he disdained to, but since this man blindly sought death, Zhao Letian had no choice but to oblige him.
"How is it? What's with those looks, do you mean to say this young master is wrong? Isn't someone with merely True Martial Eighth Realm cultivation just a waste?"
Seeing the strange reactions of the crowd, Yu Kun frowned, suddenly realizing the situation might be unfavorable.
By this time, Zhao Letian had already put down his wine glass and stood up, looking at Yu Kun calmly and indifferently.
"Hmph, finally daring to stand up, I thought you would keep being a shrinking turtle. If you refuse to admit you are a waste, then prove it with your strength. But this time, this young master will no longer hold back. If I accidentally kill you, don't blame me on the Huangquan Road!"
Yu Kun snorted coldly, staring intently at Zhao Letian as terrifying True Yuan Power surged through his body, swinging his fist toward Zhao Letian.
As the saying goes, "strike first to gain the upper hand,"
The reactions of the people from the Four Great Kingdoms made Yu Kun realize that Zhao Letian's strength was perhaps stronger than he had anticipated. To ensure nothing went wrong, he had to use his full strength from the start, attacking Zhao Letian unexpectedly.
This time, he even used the power of his Martial Soul, his fist cloaked with a shadowy black panther head, the force much stronger than the punch that defeated Ye Rui.
Zhao Letian, without any unnecessary words, stirred up his True Yuan Power, raised his fist enveloped in Thunder Arcs, and fiercely and fearlessly met the attack.
Above his fist was the Nine-layered Thunder Formation and immense Physical Strength, importantly, the integration of Thunder Force, Martial Technique, and his physical strength had reached a high degree of harmony, a realm of unity between Dao and martial arts, far surpassing Yu Kun.
"This is impossible, this is clearly just a Xuan-level Martial Technique, how can it possess such formidable power, and moreover, a realm of unity between Dao and martial arts higher than mine?"
Sensing the terrifying power of Zhao Letian's punch, Yu Kun was suddenly alarmed and cried out in shock.
The next moment, before Yu Kun could react, their fists collided, a terrifying wave of energy instantly swept across the field, forcing everyone to focus and defend.
Upon contact, Yu Kun was horrified to discover that aside from the great power he felt, Zhao Letian's punch also contained an extremely terrifying physical strength, overall much stronger than his full-powered attack.
As a result, Yu Kun was unable to withstand the impact of Zhao Letian's terrible power, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he was flung more than ten meters away.
Meanwhile, Zhao Letian only retreated three steps, his expression unchanged, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor.
