Chapter 864

Chapter 864 Challenge Peter He wasn’t boasting. That was simply the truth.

Even though luck often plays a part in success, I’ve achieved through sheer skill what you’ve only managed through chance. I have every right to look down on you All Killian felt toward Peter was contempt.

Chuckling heartily, Devon said, “Haha! You’re right. Peter doesn’t measure up to you… It’s a pity. The Heavenly Sword King once declared that whoever receives the inheritance will be our new sect leader.

Tigger’s a loser. Knowing that he couldn’t command respect from the masses, he planned to let Peter become the acting sect leader to rule over the Three Sword Sects. Ruben would undoubtedly support this. In the future, he would use the Heavenly Sword King’s orders to persuade the other mentees.”

After a slight pause, he continued, “Of course, we’d scoff at all of these. It’s just a pity for you. If you had obtained the Sword King’s inheritance, Mr. Salazar and I would support your ascension to become the sect leader. The mentees of the other sword sects would have no objections whatsoever.”

As Devon continued speaking, his tone gradually shifted. A look of regret appeared on his face.

As Caden needed Killian to be the first person to speak up, he nodded in agreement. “You have the qualifications for this.”

3 Killian declared confidently, “Rest assured, Mr. Jaillot. I will not let you down. I’m off to teach Peter and that good–for–nothing Tigger a lesson they won’t forget, and destroy their arrogance.”

He assumed that Devon and Caden wanted him to trample over the Soul Sword Sect’s bravado.

If those two men, who had just received the Sword King’s inheritance, ended up losing to him, they would be crippled by a tremendous sense of defeat.

The mere thought of it was satisfying to Killian.

Devon fell silent for a moment. He exchanged a glance with Caden before saying, “Tigger is only at the Energy Cultivation Stage. No matter how much you provoke him, he probably wouldn’t dare to fight back. That’s why we asked you to challenge Peter instead. What we want isn’t simply for you to teach him a lesson. Rather, we hope that you can Chapter 864 Challenge Peter destroy his elixir field and render him incapacitated for the rest of his life!”

“What?”

As soon as Devon uttered these words, Killian was taken aback. His face was filled with astonishment.

While Killian was reckless, he was not foolish.

a Although he had defeated Peter several times, those victories had only resulted in minor injuries for Peter. At the very most, Peter was merely bedridden for half a month.

Killian had never thought of destroying Peter’s elixir field.

That would definitely drive Ruben crazy.

By ordering him to destroy Peter’s elixir field, Devon was sending him on a suicide mission.

Killian was certainly not that foolish.

Devon explained, “I understand this might be a bit difficult for you. However, if you accomplish this task.

I’d be willing to consider you to be my godson. All of the Origin Sword Sect’s cultivation resources will be prioritized for your use. Once you’re older, it would only make sense for me to entrust the Origin Sword Sect to you. How’s that?”

Devon extended these generous conditions to Killian.

Killian remained silent as he weighed the pros and cons.

This was an outrageous thing to do.

Caden said, “Soul Sword Sect shares the same sentiment. Although your aggressive swordsmanship doesn’t quite align with our sect’s, I am willing to take you under my wing as my protégé. The purpose of doing so isn’t to teach you anything. Rather, it’s to instill in you an attitude. From now on, all of the Soul Sword Sect’s resources will be available to you too,”

Caden paused for a moment. Hoping to lend more credibility to his words, he took out an authority token. “This is my authority token as the sect leader. Take it with you. With this, you can freely access all of the Soul Sword Sect’s resources.”

Presenting this token made the promise more convincing than mere empty words.

7 Caden wasn’t exactly trying to deceive Killian.

Before he met Killian, he had thought of using Killian as a mere sacrifice. However, after actually meeting Killian and finding out that he had obtained the master–level sword energy, Caden changed his mind.
