Chapter 868 Deliberate Provocation


    As long as Peter won, the mentees of the Soul Sword Sect could finally hold their heads high in front of


    the Origin Sword Sect, no longer inferior to them.


    They firmly believed that Peter, having reached the master level for sword energy, would win this duel.

    What took all the mentees of the Soul Sword Sect by surprise was that Killian had also reached the


    master level.


    With this, Peter’s advantage waspletely obliterated.


    The contest between the two seemed to harken back to the past, with Peter once again at a


    disadvantage. He was almost entirely dominated by Killian throughout the match.


    Killian was incredibly aggressive, more so than before.


    ng! ng! ng!


    Killian was wielding a broadsword that seemed quite heavy. Yet, his movements were swift and fierce,


    showing no signs of strain from the sword’s weight.


    Every attack heunched was a clear disy of his aggressive nature,


    Meanwhile, Peter’s face had turned pale. His forehead was covered in beads of sweat and his mouth


    was wide open as he gasped for air.


    Bang!


    After another of Killian’s ferocious attacks, Peter’s hand started to tremble as it held the sword.


    Killian was exceptionally fierce today.


    The mentees from the three sects had already anticipated the oue of this contest. All the mentees


    from the Soul Sword Sect wore expressions of gloom, while those from the Origin Sword Sect were


    visibly excited.


    It was extremely satisfying to see Peter, who was suspected to be the inheritor of the Sword King,


    being humiliated. This feeling was like the widespread resentment that people from the mundane world


    harbored toward the wealthy.


    1/3


    Naturally, the mentees of the Spirit Sword Sect shared this sentiment. They hoped that Killian would


    give Peter a good thrashing.


    Bang!


    Peter was forced back again.


    This time, he couldn’t even stand properly. His only option was to thrust his sword into the ground,


    using the hilt to keep himself upright.


    The trembling, which started from his palms, spread up to his arms. It grew more and more intense.


    Killian’s red hair was as mboyant as a zing fire. With a mocking smile ying on his lips, Killian


    walked toward Peter.


    “Haha! Fatty Pete, so what if you’ve stumbled upon the Sword King’s inheritance? You’re still like a dog


    that has been thrashed by me! You’re as worthless as you’ve always been!”


    Killian was incredibly arrogant. Not only did he mock Peter, but he also continued in a louder voice, “If a


    so–called prodigy from the Soul Sword Sect is this pathetic, it’s clear that the others from your sect


    must be even more worthless!”


    He paid no heed to the resentful gazes of the mentees from the Soul Sword Sect.


    He didn’t need to hold back either.


    Because of Killian’s’extraordinary talent, the other mentees were nothing but losers in his


    presence.


    He was qualified to make such wild ims.


    For this very reason, even though the mentees of the Soul Sword Sect were filled with anger, none


    dared to stand up and refute. If they stepped forward, they would be humiliated as well. Hence, they


    had no choice but to suppress their rage as they grew increasingly frustrated.


    This wasn’t the first time they had experienced such mockery.


    Killian strode forward relentlessly, his broadsword casually slung over his shoulder. In a blink, he stood


    before Peter and said disdainfully, “I heard a rumor that you aspire to be the acting sect leader for the


    Three Sword Sects. Haha! Why don’t you say it out loud? Do you think you’re worthy?”


    2/3


    “You… You sc*mbag!” Peter cursed loudly, having been utterly humiliated by Killian.


    With a swift motion, he unsheathed his sword and lunged at Killian, shouting furiously, “I’m going to kill


    you today!”


    With a dismissive smirk, Killian watched as Peter charged at him. A sudden sh of ruthlessness


    flickered in Killian’s eyes.


    He had fought with Peter several times. On each asion, Peter ended up at a disadvantage.


    However, Peter was a stubborn man who refused to back down each time. This was why he often


    ended up in a miserable state.


    In the past, Killian, out of respect for Ruben, would never deal a fatal blow. He would leave after having


    his fill of embarrassing Peter, indifferent to Peter’s resentful howls behind him.


    But this time, it was different.


    Killian deliberately provoked Peter by iming that even if Peter had managed to master reach the


    master level for sword energy, Peter would still be easily defeated by him. By doing that, he was


    inciting Peter to attack him.
