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 was completely 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.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
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 he launched was a clear display 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 outcof 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 flamboyant as a blazing fire. With a mocking smile playing 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 claims.
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

This wasn’t the first tthey 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 flash of ruthlessness flickered in
Killian's eyes.
He had fought with Peter several times. On each occasion, 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 claiming 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.
