C22 Unable to Withstand a Single Blow
Sunn Ling's fist collided with Lo Tianqi's, unleashing an immediate explosion. The powerful energy surged in all directions. In the moment of impact, Sunn Ling was violently hurled away by Lo Tianqi.
Sunn Ling's body flew back seven or eight meters in midair before crashing heavily to the ground.
"Pfft!" Sunn Ling spat out a mouthful of blood, his body swaying. He staggered, nearly collapsing onto the ground.
"Haha... Sunn Ling, is that all you've got? I thought you were stronger than this. You can't even take a single punch!" Lo Tianqi bellowed with laughter, reveling in his triumph.
With just one punch, he had sent Sunn Ling reeling, and his heart swelled with pride and excitement.
"Damn it!" Sunn Ling rose to his feet, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His expression darkened, becoming colder and more sinister, as his eyes blazed with venomous hatred. He clenched his teeth in fury.
He couldn't believe he had been bested by Lo Tianqi, a defeat that stung all the more before his companions. He felt like an utter failure.
Sunn Ling's eyes were bloodshot with intense murderous intent as he glared at Lo Tianqi, wishing he could devour him whole.
"Lo Tianqi, today I will claim your life!"
With a fierce cry, Sunn Ling propelled himself off the ground and charged at Lo Tianqi with the speed of an arrow. His aura exploded, multiplying several-fold.
"Sunn Ling, you do have some skill, but you're nothing but trash in my eyes. You're not even worthy of a fight. Just accept your death quietly!" Lo Tianqi sneered with contempt.
He then surged forward towards Sunn Ling, his palm energy swirling into a devastating punch aimed at Sunn Ling's chest.
His speed was astonishing, his movements ghostly and elusive. In an instant, he was upon Sunn Ling, his fist thundering towards his chest with a howling wind.
Sunn Ling, seeing the attack, let out a cold laugh. His clothes whipped around him as if caught in a wind, and a chilling smile spread across his face. His eyes filled with lethal intent, he countered with a punch, sending a tremendous force rebounding towards Lo Tianqi's fist.
The sound of bones cracking echoed through the air as Lo Tianqi's wrist shattered, sending waves of intense pain up his arm. His figure was catapulted backward, hurtling through the air before crashing heavily to the ground, his body convulsing violently from the impact.
Then, his strength failed him, and he lay stiff and still on the ground, his body emitting a series of crackling noises as if it were on the verge of being crushed.
"Ah!" Sunn Ling, witnessing Lo Tianqi's state, let out an anguished roar that pierced the sky. He charged forward, driven by madness, intent on tearing Lo Tianqi apart to demonstrate his formidable power.
Sunn Ling's body had reached the pinnacle of the fifth tier, his physical strength formidable to an extraordinary degree. He was on the cusp of a breakthrough, just a hair's breadth away from ascending to the sixth tier.
Though Sunn Ling's natural talent for cultivation wasn't the most exceptional, his power was undeniably fierce, having reached the mid-fifth tier. Given time, he was certain to advance to the sixth tier.
His eyes blazed with a thick intent to kill as he lunged toward Lo Tianqi.
"Sunn Ling, you won't harm my brother again!"
In that instant, Yang Shaohua burst into action, leaping in front of Sunn Ling, effectively blocking his way with a stern shout.
"Yang Shaohua, this is between him and me; it's none of your business. Step aside, or I'll deal with you too!" Sunn Ling snarled, his eyes nearly bursting with hatred.
He hadn't anticipated that his feud with Yang Shaohua would escalate to a life-or-death struggle, nor that Yang Shaohua would dare to confront him so brazenly.
Enraged beyond measure, Sunn Ling let out a thunderous roar and surged forward. In a flash, he was upon Yang Shaohua, his body moving like a phantom. His arms, swift as serpents, struck with lethal intent toward Yang Shaohua's neck.
Yang Shaohua, taken aback by Sunn Ling's blistering speed, showed a flicker of astonishment. However, he quickly regained his composure, ready to face the onslaught.
He launched a punch toward Sunn Ling's head. Sunn Ling, seeing the attack, let a cold smile creep onto his face and countered with a punch of his own.
"Boom!" Their fists collided with a thunderous impact, sending a roaring sound echoing around them. Sunn Ling's arm went numb from the force of Yang Shaohua's powerful blow.
He staggered backward, struggling to regain his balance. Despite his efforts, a mouthful of blood escaped his lips, and a pained expression crossed his face.
"Sunn Ling, that's all you've got?" Yang Shaohua sneered at Sunn Ling's faltering, his face twisted into a look of scorn.
The mockery stung Sunn Ling, his face burning as if he'd been slapped hard.
His expression darkened, eyes filled with deep resentment. A tidal wave of murderous intent burst forth from within him, radiating outward with deadly force.
"Yang Shaohua, I'll show you what true suffering is!" Sunn Ling spat through clenched teeth.
Then, like a specter, Sunn Ling lunged at Yang Shaohua, unleashing a barrage of vicious attacks.
His fists pummeled down like torrential rain, each strike infused with bone-crushing power, the sound of their passage through the air like howling winds.
Yang Shaohua, facing the onslaught, let out a cold huff and met Sunn Ling's fist with one of his own.
"Crash!" The collision of their fists sent a thunderous boom resounding. Yang Shaohua was sent flying backward, hurtling over ten meters before coming to a halt. Blood spewed from his mouth as his body twisted and he was flung to the side.
"Crash!" As Yang Shaohua was propelled backward, a surge of unstoppable force transferred from his fist into Sunn Ling's body.
