C15 Killing Intent

"Damn it, I can't believe this! I refuse to believe you're that fast!"

Sunn Ling's expression was dark and stormy, his eyes narrowing to slits as a lethal intent radiated from him, his heart seething with silent rage.

Refusing to engage in a direct confrontation with Lo Tianqi any longer, Sunn Ling's figure burst backward. He executed his movement technique once more, charging ahead.

"If you're unwilling, then I have no choice but to end your journey here. Sunn Ling, don't blame me for my ruthlessness!"

Lo Tianqi watched Sunn Ling flee but did not pursue him. His expression was icy, his eyes glinting with a cold, bloodthirsty light as he stared at Sunn Ling's retreating form and called out sharply.

The moment he spoke, Lo Tianqi's body shuddered violently, and a towering killing intent erupted from him.

A blood mist emanated from his body, swirling around him in waves, spreading in all directions with tumultuous force.

A resounding boom accompanied the sudden release of an unmatched powerful presence from Lo Tianqi. A golden beam of light burst forth from his forehead, piercing the heavens.

The golden light shrouded the sky, with the auspicious image of a dragon and phoenix—a golden dragon shadow coiling around its head and tail—emerging. An overwhelming aura of slaughter permeated the air, as if divine retribution had descended, leaving the onlookers gasping for breath.

"What... What is this? How can such a supreme killing intent emanate from Lo Tianqi?"

"What's happening? Why is there a golden pillar of light? This presence is overpowering, as if it could obliterate us all."

"I feel like my heart is quaking. What kind of force is this? It's absolutely terrifying!"

"My God, how can Lo Tianqi be so powerful? This is horrifying!"

"Lo Tianqi's strength has reached such a level. It's truly terrifying!"

The spectators were utterly shocked by the aura radiating from Lo Tianqi, staring at the golden pillar of light with waves of awe and fear crashing in their hearts.

Sunn Ling was frozen in place as Lo Tianqi unleashed his formidable aura, a look of terror crossing his face. He watched Lo Tianqi with his pupils shrinking and his expression turning to one of sheer panic.

"How... How did your strength surge like this? How did you break through to the half-emperor realm? Impossible! You were clearly not at that level yet; how could you have advanced so swiftly?

Could it be that you've mastered a Heaven Grade Secret Technique? You must have relied on some kind of Secret Technique to level up so quickly. It can't be!"

Sunn Ling's eyes bulged with terror as he shook his head in disbelief, his face a portrait of shock as he stared at Lo Tianqi, whose expression was thick with fear.

In Sunn Ling's mind, Lo Tianqi must have leveraged a Secret Technique to ascend to the half-emperor realm at such a rapid pace. Such a technique was surely defying the natural order, and only a Secret Technique of that caliber could achieve such a feat.

"Hey, you're not wrong. I did indeed use a heaven-defying artifact to make my breakthrough. But my strength has been built up over a mere thirty years."

"You're aware of my strength. I possess immense talent and have had a heaven-defying stroke of luck!"

Lo Tianqi gave a cold smile, looking disdainfully at Sunn Ling as he declared, "Moreover, the Secret Technique I possess is beyond your wildest dreams!"

"Hmph, even if you've grown stronger, I'm still not afraid of you. You think you're so special just because you're a genius!" Sunn Ling retorted with a snort, his eyes gleaming with madness.

"Sunn Ling, do you really think your talent is that great? Here, my strength is unrivaled. No matter how formidable you are, you'll never be a match for me!"

Lo Tianqi's gaze was icy as he smirked mockingly at Sunn Ling.

Lo Tianqi's taunts triggered laughter among the onlookers, who shook their heads and sighed at Sunn Ling's arrogance and overconfidence.

Sunn Ling's face turned red with embarrassment. Lo Tianqi, that insolent kid, was far too arrogant, daring to belittle him. But he was every bit Lo Tianqi's equal.

He had every right to claim his genius status, yet he hesitated to boast about his own talent because Sunn Ling's father was a direct descendant of the prestigious Sunn Family.

His cultivation speed was ten times that of his peers, his aptitude placing him within the top three of the Sunn Family.

Among the family's young disciples, few could hold a candle to him. But standing before Lo Tianqi, he felt utterly insignificant.

Lo Tianqi might have had a higher aptitude in his eyes, but he was convinced he was far stronger than Lo Tianqi.

That's why Sunn Ling carried himself with such arrogance, believing he could never lose to Lo Tianqi. Sunn Ling's pride was immense.

Yet, Lo Tianqi didn't even consider Sunn Ling a threat. To Lo Tianqi, Sunn Ling was nothing more than a clown, utterly insignificant.

"Lo Tianqi, regardless of how you managed to elevate your cultivation to the Half Sovereign Realm, do you really think your strength alone can overpower me?"

"Don't forget, I'm protected by a spiritual weapon weighing three thousand pounds. Not even the most advanced Heaven Grade Secret Technique can scratch me!"

Sunn Ling's face darkened as he heard Lo Tianqi's words, his sneer dripping with scorn and his eyes blazing with arrogance.

"Oh, really?" Lo Tianqi's lips curled into a cold smirk as he regarded Sunn Ling with a look of sheer disdain.

No sooner had Lo Tianqi finished speaking than a wildly violent and formidable aura burst forth from him.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!" The fearsome aura roared through the area like a tempest, pushing the crowd back in alarm.

"Retreat! Everyone, back off!"

"This is the presence of a top-tier Heaven Grade Secret Skill! Lo Tianqi has mastered a Heaven Grade Secret Skill. Now things will get interesting. Let's see who still dares to underestimate Sunn Ling. Who will dare now?"

The crowd was shocked at the sight of the terrifying aura emanating from Lo Tianqi, having never imagined he could wield a Heaven Grade Secret Skill.

A Heaven Grade Secret Skill was something they had never witnessed, a power so divine it was the stuff of legends.

Sunn Ling's expression turned exceedingly grim, his face etched with astonishment.

"You... you've mastered a Heaven Grade Secret Skill, too? Impossible!" Sunn Ling's pupils shrank in terror.

"A Heaven Grade Secret Skill is mere rubbish in my eyes. Someone like you can't even withstand one move. You're not even worth my effort!" Lo Tianqi said to Sunn Ling, his voice icy.

"Hmph, you think you're in a position to scorn me? So what if I can't block your attack? My defense is freakishly strong. No matter how fierce your attack, I can handle it. Don't believe me? Go ahead, give it a shot!"

Sunn Ling bellowed, his face a mask of icy fury as he glared at Lo Tianqi, whose veins were bulging menacingly. The prominent veins on his forehead made for an intimidating sight.
