C7 Luo Qitian

"Heh, who do you think you are? On what grounds do you think you can arrest me?"

Sunn Ling's voice was ice-cold as a palpable aura of killing intent radiated from him.

"Hmph, a lowly warrior dares to raise his voice at us. Are you two looking for death?"

Upon witnessing Sunn Ling's demeanor, a nearby cavalryman scoffed and then turned his gaze back to Sunn Ling.

"If you have any sense, hand over the Luo family's token immediately, or I swear, I'll cut you down right here!"

With those words, a group of cavalrymen began to advance menacingly toward Sunn Ling and Lo Yu.

Lo Yu and Sunn Ling exchanged a glance, each seeing the resolve reflected in the other's eyes.

"Heh, you think you can lay a finger on me? Don't you believe I could send you flying with just one palm?"

As Lo Yu spoke, she tightened her grip into a fist.

The other cavalrymen let out cold laughter at her gesture.

"Ha! I dare you to try. Today, I'm eager to see just how tough you are, especially after you've had the audacity to talk to me like that!"

The cavalrymen then lifted their steel blades high, aiming them at Lo Yu and Sunn Ling, their eyes filled with predatory anticipation, ready to strike them down at any moment.

But Lo Yu and Sunn Ling were done hesitating. They both stepped forward, ready to confront the threat head-on.

"Enough, let's not waste any more time!"

"Hmph, no matter how strong you think you are, we outnumber you. Even if you had the strength of a mythical creature, today you'll be forced to prostrate yourselves on the ground!"

"Ha, well said, brother, well said!"

Just then, a soft voice rang out, and a young man dressed in opulent attire, adorned with two golden crowns, emerged, followed by a dozen imposing men in black robes.

A large contingent of guards in black attire, armed with steel blades, trailed behind him. Sunn Ling's eyes narrowed as he recognized the newcomer.

It was Lo Tianqi, the eldest son of the Luo clan!

"Lo Tianqi, you dare to stand in my way? Have you grown tired of living?"

Lo Yu called out with a chilling edge to her voice.

"Hmph, you insolent boy. To think you would be so bold in the presence of the esteemed eldest son. Your arrogance is unforgivable! Today, you will surely meet your end!"

Lo Tianqi issued a cold command.

Upon hearing this, Lo Yu let out a contemptuous snort and sneered:

"You fools think you can capture me? You clearly have a death wish!"

"You're asking for it!"

Enraged by Lo Yu's taunt, Lo Tianqi bellowed and charged at Lo Yu with his guards in tow.

Sunn Ling watched the scene unfold, a slight smile playing at the corner of his mouth, before he murmured to Lo Yu.

"Big brother, wait for me. Let's go in together!"

With that, they both launched their attacks.

"Boom!" In a flash, Sunn Ling and Lo Yu's palms met, unleashing a tremendous force.

They were both sent reeling back, crashing into the wall with such force that their bodies scraped against it, emitting a grating noise, and blood began to seep from their wounds.

"Cough, cough!" Both Lo Yu and Sunn Ling coughed up blood, clearly indicating the severity of their injuries.

"Hahahahaha!"

The scene prompted the brawny cavalryman beside Lo Tianqi to erupt into raucous laughter.

"Kid, do you see now? You're no match for our young master. Hand over the Luo clan's token if you know what's good for you, or today will mark your demise!"

Lo Tianqi watched Lo Yu and Sunn Ling with a cold, mocking smile.

"Pah!" In response to Lo Tianqi's words, Lo Yu spat in his face and retorted coldly,

"The Luo clan's token is the rightful property of our clan's patriarch. It's not meant for a vile and shameless wretch like you. You want it? Try and take it. If I refuse, what can you possibly do to me?"

Hearing Lo Yu's defiant words, Lo Tianqi's face twisted with anger. He had never expected such insolence.

"What a sharp tongue you have!"

Without further ado, Lo Tianqi flicked his treasured sword, releasing a surge of potent spiritual energy that transformed into a sword a foot and a half in length, aiming directly at Lo Yu.

Lo Yu was taken aback by what she saw.

"Hmph, mere child's play!"

As the sword neared Lo Yu's face, she swiftly raised her right hand, her fingers splayed like talons, and snatched at the blade.

The next instant, their palms met in midair with a dull thud. A visible wave of energy rippled outward in every direction.

A thunderous crash echoed around Lo Yu and Lo Tianqi as each was forced to step back.

"You've managed to catch my sword, truly worthy of the Luo clan's prodigy! But alas, this is only the beginning!"

"Kill them all, leave no one standing!"

Lo Tianqi glared at Lo Yu, his eyes blazing with ferocity as he barked the command and brandished his sword.

At Lo Tianqi's behest, the guards behind him unsheathed their gleaming weapons.

"Take down these curs!"

Upon witnessing this, Sunn Ling let out a cold shout and stepped forward.

In an instant, an overwhelming spiritual pressure burst forth from Sunn Ling.

He stomped on the ground, causing it to tremor, and then propelled himself forward with explosive speed.

Sunn Ling's velocity was so intense that he shattered the soles of his shoes, closing the distance to a guard in a single bound.

He then hoisted the guard by the neck and slammed him down with a resounding crash.

Simultaneously, Sunn Ling pivoted, landing gracefully beside another guard. With a swift motion, he twisted the guard's neck, and the head tumbled from the shoulders.

"Ah!" Another guard, witnessing the scene, screamed in horror and scrambled away in panic.
