C12 Powerful

"Humph, quite the boast, Lo Tianqi. Remember this day, for I will show you the meaning of true power. Let's see how arrogant you can be after this!"

Sunn Ling's face darkened upon hearing Lo Tianqi's words. With a swift motion, he brandished his Holy Artifact sword, unleashing a terrifying wave of black sword Qi that surged towards Lo Tianqi with incredible speed, aiming straight for his throat with fierce, unrelenting force.

"Humph! Feel the might of my spear!"

Lo Tianqi watched the oncoming wave of black sword Qi with a sneer of contempt. He coldly snorted and, in a flash, his Soul Devouring Spear burst forth, hurtling towards Sunn Ling with the speed of thunder, reaching him in the blink of an eye.

With a resounding "Bam!" the black Holy Artifact sword and the Soul Devouring Spear clashed, creating a thunderous muffled sound upon impact.

At the moment of contact, the black Holy Artifact sword shook violently, emitting a continuous buzzing noise.

"Crack, crack, crack...!" In a mere moment of confrontation, the black Holy Artifact sword shattered into several fragments under the onslaught of Lo Tianqi's spear.

Lo Tianqi's face registered shock at the sight, a flicker of surprise in his eyes as he inwardly cursed.

Sunn Ling's Holy Artifact sword was of such high quality that it withstood even the might of his Nine Revolutions Golden Core Realm, unable to withstand a single blow from Sunn Ling's spear. It was overwhelmingly powerful.

"Haha! Lo Tianqi, now you understand my strength! You call yourself worthy of a Holy Artifact, yet it couldn't withstand a single strike from my spear. Now, you're finished!"

Sunn Ling's eyes gleamed with mockery as he coldly addressed Lo Tianqi, his gaze filled with icy contempt.

"What! Your Holy Artifact is that fragile? Were you just boasting? You must have been deceiving me on purpose!"

Lo Tianqi's expression turned grim as he heard Sunn Ling's taunts, his eyes fixed on Sunn Ling, filled with disbelief.

He never expected Sunn Ling to possess a Holy Artifact. The revelation was completely beyond his expectations and utterly astonishing. He couldn't have imagined that Sunn Ling harbored such a treasure.

"Hehe! Lo Tianqi, do you really think everyone in this world is a fool? Who would believe in their so-called Holy Artifact? Besides, he doesn't know I possess one. Even if he did, he wouldn't suspect me, you piece of trash."

Let me tell you, weapons in this world are exceedingly rare. The Holy Artifact on this young lady is quite remarkable. If I were to take it, it would be an immense fortune, hehe!

Sunn Ling's lips twisted into a wicked smile as he noticed Lo Tianqi's astonishment, not bothering to hide the greed in his eyes.

"You think you can take her treasure without my consent?" Lo Tianqi said, his voice icy as he glared at Sunn Ling. Sunn Ling's words had enraged him, infuriated by the audacity of this man attempting to steal the Holy Artifact from his woman. Lo Tianqi was seething with anger and had no intention of letting Sunn Ling get away with it.

"You think you can stop me? I'm curious to see just how powerful you really are!" Sunn Ling's face hardened, and a glint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph, you don't have the strength to stop me!" Boom!

Sunn Ling's aura skyrocketed as he spoke, and in an instant, he transformed into a blur, charging at Lo Tianqi.

Lo Tianqi watched Sunn Ling approach with a cold laugh, thinking to himself, "Since you're courting death, why would I refuse?"

In a flash, Sunn Ling was upon him. A whoosh sounded as a streak of pitch-black light zipped by, Sunn Ling's fist targeting Lo Tianqi's throat.

Lo Tianqi, observing the incoming punch, couldn't help but admire Sunn Ling's formidable strength. The punch's power and speed were at their peak, creating a fierce current in the air and seemingly dropping the surrounding temperature in an instant.

As Sunn Ling's strike aimed directly for Lo Tianqi's neck, Lo Tianqi, unfazed, deftly lifted the Soul Devouring Spear in his hand, aiming it straight at Sunn Ling's chest.

"Boom!"

With a thunderous crash, the tip of the Soul Devouring Spear in Lo Tianqi's grasp met Sunn Ling's fist head-on, setting off a screeching echo that burst through the air.

Lo Tianqi's hand tingled with numbness, and his frame shook as Sunn Ling's punch sent him reeling back several meters.

"What! Lo Tianqi, how can your Holy Artifact spear be so formidable?! We've barely begun, and I'm already pushed back several meters. This spear is incredibly powerful!"

Sunn Ling gazed at the Soul Devouring Spear in Lo Tianqi's hand, his eyes wide with astonishment.

His heart pounded with shock. He hadn't anticipated that Lo Tianqi's so-called trash Holy Artifact spear would be this mighty, far surpassing his own ordinary Holy Artifact spear. This was indeed a Holy Artifact, and not just any, but one of the elite.

"Lo Tianqi! You think you can defeat me? That's pure fantasy!"

Sunn Ling said to Lo Tianqi, his voice laced with amazement and his heart filled with extreme trepidation.

In that instant, he recognized the true might of Lo Tianqi's Soul Devouring Spear. He felt a surge of relief that he hadn't acted rashly against Lo Tianqi before; otherwise, he would surely be dead by now. And to think, this infuriating Lo Tianqi had the audacity to mock him!

With this thought, Sunn Ling's face twisted into a malevolent sneer, his eyes boring into Lo Tianqi with an intensity that could almost devour him whole.

"Hmph, Lo Tianqi, don't celebrate too soon!"

Lo Tianqi, unfazed by Sunn Ling's words, spoke with a calm detachment, a glint of icy resolve flickering in his eyes.

He then swung his arm, directing the Soul Devouring Spear toward Sunn Ling.

"Hmph, if you scorn the toast only to be forced to drink the forfeit, then you've no one to blame but yourself. Today, you won't leave this place!"

Sunn Ling's countenance darkened at the sight of the Soul Devouring Spear in Lo Tianqi's hand, a trace of apprehension flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected Lo Tianqi's Holy Artifact spear to be so formidable. Indeed, it was a Holy Artifact of the caliber he had once witnessed.

At that moment, Sunn Ling launched another series of three punches at Lo Tianqi. Each blow was infused with a terrifying aura, carrying with it an immensely violent force that surged toward Lo Tianqi.
