"That's an excellent question," Ren Yuanhao said, supporting Shen Lan Ni with one hand. He glanced at Shen Yun Shu, who lay in a pool of blood, at the elder, and at Guan Xi Shun, who had completely given up on Zhang Liang. He spoke slowly, "First, try to pull the spear out."
Ren Yuanhao paid no further attention to Zhang Liang. Instead, he channeled his earth-attribute true qi to heal Shen Lan Ni.
"A joke! The Thorn Spear was the weapon of the previous Water Element Origin Master. I am merely inheriting his legacy today. You think I can't pull out the Thorn Spear? Are you out of your mind?"
As he spoke, Zhang Liang's face turned ashen. A force of wild resistance surged through the spear's handle and into his limbs and bones like a stormy tide.
In an instant, Zhang Liang was sent flying by this immense force, crashing heavily against the giant painting behind him, vomiting blood uncontrollably!
"No! Impossible!"
Zhang Liang staggered to his feet, his boots stepping on his own blood. He walked back to the Thorn Spear and placed his hands on the icy handle. Blood seeped from his palms and continued to spread down the shaft.
He forcefully channeled his true qi, pushing his mutant ability to its limit. However, the resisting force did not weaken at all; instead, it intensified. Another flash of cold light struck, sending Zhang Liang flying again, leaving him no dignity, utterly pathetic.
"How, how is this possible! You, you dare to resist me! Am I not worthy of you?"
Zhang Liang, unwilling to accept it, was about to rise again when Ren Yuanhao suddenly appeared before the arc of the Thorn Spear.
"Zhang Liang, weapons of the world, sharp blades and the like, possess their own pride. Do not think that because you are the successor of the Water Element Origin, you are entitled to wield this peerless weapon. From the moment you betrayed your companions, your base character has flowed through this great hall."
As Ren Yuanhao spoke, he reached out his free left hand towards the Thorn Spear.
"Don't touch it with your dirty hands! You're not worthy!" Zhang Liang roared hysterically.
Ren Yuanhao sneered, "Worthiness is not for you to decide, and I don't need your approval!"
Ren Yuanhao suddenly circulated the true qi within him. The Thorn Spear glowed with a cerulean light, burning brighter and brighter until it completely engulfed Ren Yuanhao's arm like cerulean flames!
"No, impossible! The Thorn Spear wouldn't even acknowledge someone as powerful as me, why would it acknowledge someone like you!"
"Because, I am far stronger than you can imagine!"
Ren Yuanhao's voice boomed like a great bell. At that moment, the ancient runes on the Thorn Spear crawled up Ren Yuanhao's arm, and the entire hall resonated with an ancient and majestic interrogation.
"Youngster, why do you draw the spear?" Da Feng Novel Network
"To say it's for all living beings is simply self-deception. I merely wish to exert my utmost effort to protect those I can."
"Not arrogant, not subservient, not deceitful to the world, nor self-deceived. Youngster, I acknowledge you."
The ancient, desolate voice quickly subsided. As the sound wave vanished, Ren Yuanhao casually lifted the Thorn Spear, pulling it free from the ground!
With the Sea God Temple's restraint gone due to the loss of the Thorn Spear, seawater surged overwhelmingly. Ren Yuanhao, with his hands behind his back, rode the wind, carrying Shen Lan Ni and Shen Yun Shu out of the hall and towards the floor where Xiao Yue was.
"Xiao Yue, watch them for me," Ren Yuanhao said, holding one sword and one spear, turning back resolutely. "It's time to settle the score."
Just then, Zhang Liang, like a furious lion, stirred a hundred-meter-high water wall, surging from all directions towards the top of the building.
This scene terrified those standing on the rooftop, their legs turning to jelly.
"This, this is the end of the world, isn't it?"
"I never imagined I would die this way."
"Under such natural power, do we still have a chance of winning?"
Everyone began to doubt, their faces displaying extreme fear.
"Ren Yuanhao, hand over the Thorn Spear, or I will immediately kill your women!"
The seawater surged, its roar like thunder. Zhang Liang, like a beast crouched on the raging waves, roared at the mortal realm.
"Fine, if you have the ability, come and take it yourself!"
Ren Yuanhao channeled his true qi and threw the spear hundreds, even thousands, of meters into the sky. The spear cut through the air with a muffled thunderous sound, piercing the heavens.
Seeing this, Zhang Liang crazily stepped onto the waves and ascended, the seawater rising to the sky, a dizzying sight.
Ren Yuanhao tightly gripped Fen Chuan, murmuring in a voice only he could hear, "Yi Die, your father taught me a move, the ultimate secret of Fen Chuan, called 'Feng Sun.' Now, I want to try it."
Fen Chuan seemed to sense Ren Yuanhao's intentions, its hilt emanating a slight warmth.
"He said that falcons soar in the vast sky, cutting through the air with their wings to maintain a lightning-fast impact speed. The moment they strike prey is a desperate attack that overcomes immense wind pressure!"
Ren Yuanhao looked at Zhang Liang, who was gradually ascending, like a falcon eyeing its prey.
"It's time."
Ren Yuanhao drew his sword. Everyone felt an indescribable pressure surge from this man. Before they could even blink, the man moved like lightning, cleaving through the water waves, like a hurricane surging upwards, tearing a rift in the sky!
In the vast expanse of the sky, a sudden thunderclap echoed!
Everyone fell silent. The immense water wall suddenly retreated like fleeing soldiers, all retreating towards the southeast.
The sky began to rain lightly. Suddenly, everyone heard a fierce tearing sound as a spear, with Zhang Liang's corpse impaled upon it, was driven diagonally into the circular arch of the tallest building in Dong Lü City. Blood gushed out like a spring; there was no possibility of survival.
Everyone stared blankly for a moment before erupting into thunderous cheers. At this moment, Ren Yuanhao returned to the rooftop, carrying a semi-conscious man.
This man was Guan Xi Shun.
"Ren Yuanhao, the Divine Revelation Plan has been activated, you cannot delay any longer. Perhaps with your abilities, you can still stop that madman!"
Guan Xi Shun's eyes were half-closed. For some reason, he brought this question to this opposing man.
Perhaps when he saw the surging seawater engulfing the lives of the innocent, he had begun to constantly question whether their actions had any meaning, whether they were right or wrong.
And now, perhaps he had figured it out.
"Divine Revelation? What is that?" Da Feng Novel
Ren Yuanhao continuously injected true qi into the bodies of the Shen Lan Ni sisters. The two were recovering at an extremely rapid pace.
"It is the ultimate masterpiece of the combined efforts of Gray Wolf and Lionheart, possessing the first-generation Mandala gene, the most perfect cloned cells, and the mastered elemental origin ability cores of Air, Water, Earth, and Fire, the Sword of Sparta, and so much more, all integrated into a super-warrior, known as, the strongest existence!"
