C17 Peak

"Boom! Boom!" The two collided mid-air, unleashing a thunderous roar that shook the entire valley. The mountain walls cracked, and rocks tumbled down the cliffs in a chaotic cascade.

"What incredible speed! Such quick reflexes!" Sunn Ling's face registered shock; he hadn't anticipated his opponent would evade his attack.

"Kid, there's no such thing as unbeatable speed in this world!" A cold murderous glint flashed in Sunn Ling's eyes as he ferociously struck down towards Lo Tianqi.

"Shatter!" Lo Tianqi bellowed, countering with a punch aimed at Sunn Ling's assault.

Boom! Boom! Boom! They clashed again, their figures parting instantly. Lo Tianqi was sent reeling backward, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his complexion ashen, his body quivering.

Sunn Ling staggered back several steps, his black robe shredded, his body swaying, his face tinged with a sickly hue. Yet his eyes blazed with insanity.

"Damn you, you dare to wound me? I'll have your life!" Sunn Ling seethed, his aura of lethal intent surging skyward, engulfing Lo Tianqi as he prepared to charge once more.

"Brother Sunn Ling, remember our mission!"

"Exactly! Otherwise, we'll all fall to this Little Bastard!"

His followers urgently cautioned Sunn Ling against recklessness, urging him to prioritize eliminating Lo Tianqi, whose power had just left them petrified.

Sunn Ling's eyes flickered with ferocity, but he contained his rage, his gaze reluctantly shifting to the numerous disciples of the Sunn Family.

"So, the Sunn Family boasts such arrogance, such hubris? Today, I will show you that before absolute power, you are nothing!" Sunn Ling declared with a cold laugh. He restrained his impulse, aware that acting rashly would not only fail to defeat Lo Tianqi but also displease his own followers.

With a contemptuous snort, Sunn Ling withdrew his gaze, the murderous intent in his eyes intensifying.

"Lo Tianqi, I wonder how long you can hold out. Today, you're going to die!"

Sunn Ling's face twisted into a sinister grin as he eyed Lo Tianqi with intense greed. He coveted a formidable body, one that would grant him the right to stand proudly at the pinnacle of the Tian Continent.

"Hmph, I have no idea just how formidable the Sunn Family is, but you've thoroughly irritated me with this treatment!"

Lo Tianqi's gaze was icy as he stared down Sunn Ling, a chilling murderous intent emanating from his eyes, enough to make anyone shudder.

"Haha, kid, are you trying to intimidate me?"

Sunn Ling burst into laughter upon hearing Lo Tianqi's words, looking at him with a taunting sneer. "I'll concede that you're quite strong. But do you really think you can defeat me now?"

"I am a disciple of the leading Sunn Family among the three great families in Tian Province, the foremost among the younger generation on the Tian Continent. You think you can kill me? That's pure fantasy!"

Sunn Ling's taunts turned Lo Tianqi's complexion to a steely blue, his face etched with embarrassment.

"Lo Tianqi, weren't you quite the arrogant one? Go on, show us some more of that arrogance!"

The Sunn Family's lackeys jeered and shouted, their eyes filled with scorn and pity as they looked at Lo Tianqi.

"Do you think you're fast? Do you think you're strong? Don't forget, here, you're nothing but a cripple, while I am a true master. And my speed far surpasses yours!"

Lo Tianqi fixed Sunn Ling with a cold, mocking stare.

"You insolent fool, how dare you insult my cultivation? I will have your life!"

Sunn Ling's eyes blazed with murderous rage, his gaze piercing as he focused on Lo Tianqi. His aura of killing intent was palpable, and the formidable Spiritual Force within him erupted, unleashing a torrential onslaught toward Lo Tianqi.

In an instant, Sunn Ling charged at Lo Tianqi, his every movement unleashing a fearsome power, stirring up gales of astral wind that howled toward Lo Tianqi.

The surrounding weeds were tossed about, and the earth itself seemed to quake, with stones and dirt kicked up into a blinding cloud of dust and sand, obscuring the view and shrouding the battlefield from sight.

"Is this the power of a Martial Saint?" Witnessing the terrifying pressure emanating from Sunn Ling, Lo Tianqi's pupils constricted as he fixed his gaze on him.

A fine bead of sweat appeared on his forehead as he felt the oppressive force, his eyes betraying a mix of shock and horror.

He was inwardly astounded; the aura radiating from Sunn Ling was significantly more formidable than that of any Martial King he had encountered.

A look of solemnity and apprehension flickered in Lo Tianqi's eyes.

"Sunn Ling, let's see if you can withstand twenty moves from me!"

With a cold shout from Lo Tianqi, a fearsome aura enveloped the surroundings. His presence surged, transforming him into a figure akin to a mighty flood dragon, exuding a wild and imperious energy that left onlookers in awe.

A deep seriousness shone in Sunn Ling's eyes as he intently watched Lo Tianqi, a surge of shock in his heart upon sensing a subtle change in his opponent.

Yet, it was merely an illusion, for Lo Tianqi's aura remained unchanged, still within his realm, albeit a level above Sunn Ling's. Nevertheless, Sunn Ling was undaunted.

With this in mind, Sunn Ling let out a contemptuous snort, "Hmph, what does it matter if you've changed? Do you really think I would fear you?"

As he spoke, a formidable aura erupted from Sunn Ling, his eyes blazing with intense rage, the flames of anger and envy burning fiercely within him.

He had not anticipated being pushed back continuously by Lo Tianqi, nor did he expect to feel Lo Tianqi's pace quickening with each step.

Sunn Ling was secretly astonished, realizing that Lo Tianqi's power was on the rise.

"Haha, Sunn Ling, you're quite slow, aren't you? But it's not by much!" Lo Tianqi laughed heartily, his face etched with mockery, as he watched Sunn Ling retreat.

Sunn Ling's expression shifted rapidly, silently cursing. True to his reputation as the foremost among the young warriors of the Tian Continent, his prowess was undeniable. His strength far surpassed that of an average Martial Emperor.

However, it seemed impossible for him to outpace Lo Tianqi. Moreover, Sunn Ling possessed a defensive martial art, and his speed was renowned as one of the fastest among his peers on the Tian Continent.

Yet, his speed was now actually slower than Lo Tianqi's!

This infuriating Little Bastard even had the audacity to mock him!

Sunn Ling was seething with frustration, itching to charge forward and mercilessly thrash Lo Tianqi.

His rage and sense of humiliation had reached a boiling point.

"Kid, you're dead!"

With a fierce and twisted expression, Sunn Ling unleashed an even more fearsome aura and pressure, bearing down on Lo Tianqi. His silhouette left a trail of afterimages in the sky as he exuded waves of terrifying energy.
