Chapter 1680 - 1681: Confrontation
Their eyes met coldly, piercing with an unspoken hostility. Though they had only crossed paths twice, they both knew words would never sway the opponent even slightly.
One was someone who had sacrificed his own daughter, sending her to the execution block, all for his personal ambition and future.
The other was a man who risked life and limb, venturing alone into the heartlands of the Ancient Clan for the sake of the woman he loved.
To them, life was not the most important thing. What they held fast to in their hearts, the obsessions that consumed their minds—that was the essence of their greatest pursuit.
Boom!
With a thunderous roar, the two demonstrated an unspoken mutual understanding by simultaneously hurling their longswords and long knives forward.
The divine weapons crossed paths in midair without touching, as a cascade of sparks illuminated the collision of their divine senses.
No doubt, Luo Zongyuan, who stood firmly in the Martial Emperor Realm, used his divine weapon to suppress the fearsome thrusts of the Dragon Slayer Sword with unwavering dominance. Watching the display unfold, he spoke softly.
"As expected, you didn’t fight me at full strength during our last duel, but what does that matter? Do you truly believe that will be sufficient to defeat me?"
Though momentarily holding the upper hand, Luo Zongyuan sensed a sharper edge to Su Chengyu’s aura than before and remarked coldly.
Su Chengyu did not reply; his lack of full force in the prior battle wasn’t deliberate. At the time, he had lingering injuries from the Zhenjiang encounter, which hindered his ability to unleash his full power.
