C19 Power
Ripples expanded in concentric circles, while on the ground, waves of soil undulated outward in a similar fashion.
Lo Tianqi spun around and launched a palm strike at Sunn Ling. A massive, inky palm burst forth, reaching for Sunn Ling's body. Sunn Ling's figure came to an abrupt halt; he twisted in mid-air and spiraled backward, narrowly evading Lo Tianqi's assault.
Yet, he remained vigilant. Sensing the formidable power within Lo Tianqi's palm, he crossed his arms before his chest, tracing a cross. A surge of potent energy erupted, and a colossal Genuine Qi palm burst forth, barreling towards Lo Tianqi.
Their attacks collided with a thunderous explosion, causing the very fabric of the void to quiver. Lo Tianqi was forced to retreat rapidly, steadying himself only after several steps back, as a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. His complexion turned a shade paler, and his eyes widened in shock, staring at Sunn Ling with a mix of surprise and disbelief.
Sunn Ling had not unleashed his full power, yet his technique was formidable. He had believed he could defeat Lo Tianqi with it, but Lo Tianqi's countermove was unexpectedly effective, pushing Sunn Ling back and leaving him astonished.
"Lo Tianqi, to think you could push me to use that technique. You truly are a worthy adversary!" Sunn Ling's lips barely moved as he spoke, his face the picture of serenity, as if the previous exchange had been inconsequential.
"Heh, worthy? Don't flatter yourself. You think you've won? This is just the beginning. Let's keep going!" Lo Tianqi retorted with a cold laugh, his face twisted into a mocking sneer.
With a defiant glare at Sunn Ling, his face flushed with intense Battle Intent, Lo Tianqi's aura surged anew. He charged at Sunn Ling, fists swinging, unleashing another barrage infused with ferocious Fist Energy.
"Come at me! I'll have you crying for your parents!"
Sunn Ling burst into hearty laughter upon hearing this, as a formidable aura erupted from him. His Vital Spirit surged, and a torrent of overwhelming power burst forth from within.
Behind him, 108 divine swords shot out, transforming into long blades that streaked towards Lo Tianqi, slashing at him with lethal precision. Each sword, several meters in length, gleamed with a deadly edge as they descended upon Lo Tianqi, as swift as meteors and as quick as lightning, enveloping him in a storm of steel.
"Humph! Mere child's play!"
Lo Tianqi snorted in disdain at the sight, a sneer spreading across his face. He then stomped the ground and charged forward with explosive speed.
Moving as fast as lightning, Lo Tianqi closed the distance to Sunn Ling in an instant. From his hands erupted a ferocious Fist Energy, like dark serpents with bared fangs, coiling and striking at Sunn Ling.
Their collision was thunderous, and both Lo Tianqi and Sunn Ling were forced back seven steps.
After regaining their footing, Sunn Ling's face betrayed a hint of astonishment. Lo Tianqi's brow furrowed; he could acutely feel the toll the exchange had taken on him, with his Fist Energy significantly diminished, retaining only a fraction of its original force.
Sunn Ling, while less drained, had absorbed the brunt of the impact, causing him to retreat those seven steps. Yet, he did not believe that was the extent of Sun Ling's capabilities.
"Hehe, Lo Tianqi, seeking your own demise, are you? Have you forgotten my strength? You know full well that your cultivation is no match for mine!" Sunn Ling sneered, his face twisted in mockery.
"Don't be complacent!"
Lo Tianqi retorted with a cold snort, his voice deep and resolute, "I'm well aware of your prowess, but rest assured, I am utterly confident in my ability to defeat you!"
Sunn Ling fixed a cold gaze on Lo Tianqi, his inner alarm bells ringing. He had indeed been too careless, suffering a setback from a single exchange.
It appeared he had underestimated Lo Tianqi's power, which proved to be even more formidable than he had anticipated.
"Alright, if that's the case, then I'll have to show you if your strength truly matches the peak realm you boast about!" Sunn Ling declared with a cold shout, a glint of ice flashing in his eyes. In a blur, he lunged at Lo Tianqi once more.
"Boom!"
Sunn Ling unleashed a fierce punch, swift as lightning, with a force that seemed to tear the very fabric of space, hurtling toward Lo Tianqi's chest like a meteorite, its power staggeringly immense.
Lo Tianqi let out a cold huff and countered with a double-fisted strike. Their fists met with a deafening clash, forcing both combatants to stagger back. A trickle of blood leaked from the corner of Lo Tianqi's mouth, his expression subtly shifting.
Sunn Ling, too, looked taken aback. He hadn't anticipated Lo Tianqi's formidable strength, which stood unyielding even against his Fist Energy.
Contrarily, Lo Tianqi seemed to hold a slight edge, a revelation that left Sunn Ling astounded. Yet, he refused to concede. After all, wasn't he a prodigy? How could he simply capitulate? He was determined to demonstrate to Lo Tianqi the essence of true power, considering everything up to now merely a warm-up. The real showdown was about to commence.
"Ha!"
With a fierce roar, Lo Tianqi swung his arms and, in a flash, charged at Sunn Ling once again. His Fist Energy ripped through the air, emitting a series of piercing whistles.
He barreled toward Sunn Ling with a ferocity akin to a roaring behemoth.
Sunn Ling countered with a grunt, surging forward to meet Lo Tianqi's onslaught. His hands, like sledgehammers, crashed down upon Lo Tianqi.
The two warriors collided with a thunderous impact, their Fist Energies clashing and resounding through the air. Lo Tianqi's legs bent slightly as he was driven back three steps, while Sunn Ling was pushed back four. But it was Sunn Ling's face that registered shock, his eyes widening in disbelief.
He realized his strike had been futile against Lo Tianqi. Lo Tianqi's physical resilience was astonishing, and his strength surpassed anything Sunn Ling had imagined. His Fist Energy had not inflicted the slightest damage.
"You're a monster!"
