Chapter 594: Slaying the King Level
"Arrogant Sword Skill," is a cultivation technique created by a human expert far surpassing the Emperor-level, but sadly it remains unfinished!
Nevertheless, even though it is incomplete, its grade far exceeds the Emperor Scripture practiced by Emperor-level warriors; its potential is limitless!
Zhao Letian loves this martial technique; he feels as though it was tailored just for him. He is determined to complete this martial technique and will never easily abandon it!
"The stronger the arrogance, the greater the power... This is the essence of the Arrogant Sword Skill. Arrogance is not will, but an attitude, a determination, genuinely boundless! Yet, I treated it like Arrogant Will, foolishly confining it to the pinnacle of will..."
Suddenly, Zhao Letian had an epiphany; even without mastering the profundity of arcane powers or breaking through to the Monarch level, his strength could still continue to rise!
"Today, I must slay you!"
With this realization, Zhao Letian immediately stopped retreating and steadied himself in midair, his gaze towards the Monarch-level Golden Peng filled with immense determination and confidence!
He firmly believed that he must slay this Monarch-level Golden Peng today, regardless of any sacrifice, even if it costs his own life!
"Boom!"
At this moment, he was fearless, utterly confident, with his arrogance soaring to the skies, like the Milky Way coursing upwards, directly piercing the heavens!
"Slay me? With just you? Dream on for a hundred days! Die!"
The Monarch-level Golden Peng sneered disdainfully, slicing out a golden sword light hundreds of yards long, striking towards Zhao Letian again!
Let alone just a mere King-level human, even a stronger Monarch-level from the Demon Clan would find it difficult to kill him; he could easily escape due to his pride in his speed!
Moreover, he clearly had the upper hand with that previous strike; if the battle continued, the one to die would only be Zhao Letian, not him!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
However, at this moment, Zhao Letian's arrogance was erupting incessantly, transforming him into a bigger and sharper longsword, piercing the endless skies!
"With one sword, I obliterate the heavens, towering arrogantly above the skies!"
Moments later, Zhao Letian suddenly raised his longsword, slashing out a terrifying sword light thousands of yards long, as if to tear the heavens apart, destructively slashing towards the Monarch-level Golden Peng!
"Boom!"
In an instant, their sword lights collided!
This time, the golden sword light from the Monarch-level Golden Peng held merely a few breaths before completely dissipating!
However, Zhao Letian's Destructive Sword Light continued unstoppable, effortlessly tearing through the arcane power of the Monarch-level Golden Peng and instantly loomed over his head!
"How is this possible?"
The Monarch-level Golden Peng showed an incredulous and fearful expression, frantically waving his golden longsword to block!
"Boom!"
Although the Monarch-level Golden Peng's golden longsword blocked Zhao Letian's Destructive Sword Light, his whole being was blasted away, vomiting fresh blood, like a cannonball!
"No! This cannot be!"
After flying thousands of yards, the Monarch-level Golden Peng finally managed to stabilize himself, disbelievingly staring at Zhao Letian!
This time, he did not underestimate Zhao Letian, but he was still defeated, indicating that Zhao Letian's strength had indeed surpassed his!
"There's nothing impossible; I said today I must slay you!"
Zhao Letian, stepping through the void, holding his longsword, advanced without expression. Each step he took was like teleportation, crossing vast distances!
Furthermore, as he continued to draw nearer, the arrogance radiating from him was still climbing!
"Hmph! Kid, mountains don't turn but water does, let's wait and see!"
The Monarch Level Golden Peng coldly snorted and immediately shook its golden wings, swiftly flying off into the distance!
Peng-type demon beasts are known for their speed, and among them, the Golden Peng is exceptionally fast!
Thus, among its peers, be it demon beasts or the Human Clan, almost no one can match the Golden Peng!
It believed that as long as it wanted to escape, no one at the scene could possibly stop it!
"It's useless! You can't escape!"
However, Zhao Letian's face remained expressionless, he indifferently spoke and simultaneously deployed the Body Technique 'Carefree Travel'. With one step, he moved as if teleporting, instantly appearing beside the Monarch Level Golden Peng, and with a swing of his sword, carrying an incredibly sharp sword light, he slashed directly across the Golden Peng's head!
"How... how is this possible? Your sword, it's clearly just a High Grade Spiritual Artifact; how could it harm me?"
The Monarch Level Golden Peng revealed a look of terror, staring fixedly at Zhao Letian's face, just inches away, in disbelief.
"Sst!"
As soon as the words fell, blood splattered out, the head of the Monarch Level Golden Peng was cleaved into two halves!
"Whoosh!"
At that moment, a Mini Golden Peng suddenly flew out of the Golden Peng's skull, with a huge Demon Core in its mouth, and darted towards the distance!
"Only a Divine Soul left, where can you run?"
Zhao Letian indifferently said, his hand waved, releasing a powerful surge of Primordial Energy, directly restraining the Mini Golden Peng!
"Kid, there's no grudge between us, no need for such ruthlessness, spare me and I shall repay you!"
The Mini Golden Peng looked at Zhao Letian with a terrified expression, hurriedly pleading.
"No grudge? When you were chasing me earlier, weren't you quite happy? Forgotten that so soon? Besides, the Human Clan and the Demon Clan are inherently irreconcilable; do I need a reason to kill you?"
Zhao Letian said dispassionately.
However, he didn't plan to kill this Monarch Level Golden Peng right away; instead, he intended to keep it, and once he advanced to Monarch Level, he would absorb its energy to rapidly enhance his cultivation!
"You..."
Seeing Zhao Letian remain unmoved, the Monarch Level Golden Peng instantly became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"Rumble!"
Just then, a terrifying Tribulation Cloud with a diameter of hundreds of miles suddenly formed in the sky!
"Monarch Level Tribulation Cloud? How could it be so strong? Kid, release me quickly! Holding me will only make the power of the Tribulation Cloud stronger, and soon, we will both be reduced to ashes and smoke!"
The Mini Golden Peng let out a fearful cry.
"Stronger? Even better—I want to see just how strong it can get!"
Zhao Letian was not alarmed but excited, holding the Monarch Level Golden Peng, he stood proudly and fearlessly looked up at the terrifying Tribulation Cloud in the sky!
Perhaps others fear the Tribulation Cloud, but he does not!
For him, the Tribulation Cloud is a nourishing substance; the stronger its power, the happier he is!
However, he didn't quite understand why the Tribulation Cloud had arrived ahead of time even though he had yet to comprehend the power of profound mysteries. Could it be because his current strength was already sufficient to kill a Monarch Level expert?
