"You make it sound like you could kill me whenever you want!"
Lu Ren gave a cold laugh.
"Ridiculous!"
Killing intent burst from Hei Zi. He stamped his foot and shot forward, black energy swirling beneath his feet. He charged at Lu Ren and swung the great halberd in his hands, its dark energy corroding everything in its path.
Lu Ren gripped his swords in both hands. Dazzling holy light erupted as he struck back, unleashing Light Calamity Sword Momentum.
Boom!
The swords and halberd collided with a deafening crash.
"What strength! You've even awakened Light Attribute sword momentum. Too bad its level is too low to stop me!"
Hei Zi strode forward, black energy pouring from his body until he looked like a mass of dark fog.
More and more martial artists gathered nearby. There were already over a hundred, including several prodigies ranked above Hei Zi.
Most had sensed an opportunity in the area and rushed over. Then they heard Lu Ren had a Myriad Manifestation Fruit, drawing still more people.
Now they watched Lu Ren battle Hei Zi in astonishment. They had never expected Lu Ren to be strong enough to fight him.
Hei Zi ranked seventy-first on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. He cultivated Dark Attribute halberd momentum and controlled a ten-thousand-year Dark Attribute otherworldly flame. He was no ordinary opponent.
Nearly ten months had passed since the last Hidden Dragon Ranking, and every prodigy had grown stronger.
They wanted to see how much Hei Zi had improved and measure themselves against him.
"Your dark halberd momentum really is strong. Unfortunately, I've suppressed it!"
Lu Ren sneered and drove his sword momentum to its limit before attacking Hei Zi again.
Boom!
A violent roar rang out. Cracks rippled through the void, lighting up the cliffs all around.
