Ning Fa lifted his hand with one hand.
With a flash of blue light, a blue spear, ferocious in appearance like a dragon, appeared in his hand.
Even though Ning Fa hadn't activated it, streaks of blue arcs still permeated the spear shaft.
A powerful spiritual pressure, far exceeding that of a top-grade magic artifact, emanated faintly from the spear.
It made everyone feel a sense of oppression.
"This is... a Spirit Artifact!?"
The Huang Family patriarch exclaimed in shock, his face already flustered.
A Chang Kong Alliance cultivator beside him, with long, drooping eyebrows, was shocked at first, but then reacted, saying with great solemnity, "This isn't a Spirit Artifact, but... it's close to being a quasi-Spirit Artifact, not comparable to ordinary top-grade magic artifacts."
Shi Shaoyang narrowed his eyes, then said with a calm expression, "Treasures are good, but it also depends on who uses them. With your low realm, how many times can you wield this treasure?"
Ning Fa shrugged, "Are you done with the nonsense? Then I'll make my move."
A cold glint flashed in Shi Shaoyang's eyes. He formed a finger-sword with his right hand, and a three-foot-long sword also appeared before him.
The sword was milky white all over, with several lotus flower patterns engraved on its blade, shimmering with white auspicious light.
More uniquely, phantoms of white lotuses appeared around the sword's body, constantly appearing and disappearing, an extraordinary phenomenon, extremely profound.
Clearly, this sword was also a top-grade magic artifact, and it was also a fine product among top-grade magic artifacts.
Shi Shaoyang's aura also climbed steadily, already surpassing the level expected of a late Qi Condensation cultivator.
Ning Fa's expression became slightly solemn. The power emanating from this person made him secretly startled, thinking that this person indeed lived up to his great reputation.
But Ning Fa soon smiled; it was good that he was strong enough.
The stronger this chicken was, the more frightened the monkey beside him would be when he killed it later.
This way, the effect of the battle would be even better.
Ning Fa's eyes flashed like lightning. He suddenly mobilized the power of his entire body's blood and qi. His right hand, along with the spear in his hand, blurred and disappeared.
Although the sky was clear for thousands of miles, rumbling thunderous sounds boomed out.
Hundreds of silver spear lights appeared in the air.
These spear lights, starting as tiny points of light, suddenly transformed into streaks of silver lightning, like countless silver thunder dragons, each several feet long.
The silver snakes danced wildly, striking towards Shi Shaoyang.
With the emergence of this powerful attack, the Huang Family members, who were originally full of confidence, all changed their expressions.
Their initial ten-tenths confidence in Shi Shaoyang instantly dropped by three-tenths.
However, the other members of the Chang Kong Alliance, although their expressions were solemn, still looked full of confidence.
"Well done!"
"Cloud Lotus Sword Art, First Form - Sword Qi Like Lotus!"
Shi Shaoyang shouted, and the sword before him suddenly slashed out a white sword qi.
This sword qi instantly transformed into a colossal white lotus, several zhang in size, blocking Shi Shaoyang behind it.
This giant white lotus spun continuously, and white lotus petals fell out one by one.
These petals emitted ferocious luster, like metal, blocking all the silver lightning strikes.
"Boom! Boom—"
The sounds of fierce magical art collisions echoed through the sky.
In an instant, the silver lightning in the air dissipated completely.
However, the giant white lotus did not dissipate; instead, its form grew even larger.
Countless lotus petals accelerated their detachment, converging in a flash to form a giant sword several zhang long, composed of lotus petals.
With a sword cry like a hurricane passing through, it slashed towards Ning Fa.
A cold glint flashed in Shi Shaoyang's eyes as he shouted:
"Cloud Lotus Sword Art, Second Form - Lotus Breaking Strike!"
Ning Fa's eyes flickered, his expression solemn.
He let out a low cry, and the blood and qi within his body surged, roaring like a great river.
His height suddenly increased by several feet, and his entire physique enlarged by several parts.
This made him appear like a small giant.
His black hair fluttered without wind, flashing with silver lightning. His pupils also turned a pale silver.
A layer of silvery-white thunder armor covered the surface of his body, making him look like a descending god.
This technique was called [Thunder Yuan Overlord Body].
It was a move attached to the third layer of the Ancient Source Thunder Scripture, considered an upgraded version of the Primordial Thunder Armor.
After using this technique, physical strength increased by thirty percent, and the power of all moves from the Ancient Source Thunder Scripture increased by thirty percent.
Furthermore, he gained the Overlord Body ability, greatly increasing his resistance to certain control-based secret arts.
And as his cultivation improved, the power bonus from this secret art would only increase.
The price was a significant increase in the consumption of spiritual power and physical strength.
Facing the exceptionally powerful Shi Shaoyang, Ning Fa, wanting to end the fight quickly, disregarded hiding his strength and directly used this powerful secret art.
Ning Fa's eyes focused, silver light flashed, he gripped his spear with both hands, and thrust forward fiercely.
"Roar!"
Under Ning Fa's Thunder Yuan Overlord Body, the full might of the Cloud-Breaking Spear was unleashed.
The illusory blue Thunder Dragon reappeared, letting out a dragon's roar towards the sky.
A massive spear projection, like a dragon and lightning, shot out, directly meeting the incoming white lotus sword.
In an instant, spear tip met sword energy.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment, then a violent sound like a mountain collapsing and the sea roaring erupted.
Intense shockwaves scattered in all directions.
Causing the onlookers around to be thrown about.
Meng Ruoqi and the other two had a water-blue light shield appear around them, blocking these shockwaves.
Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the two fighting, surprise evident in her gaze.
She was very surprised that Ning Fa could fight on par with Shi Shaoyang.
After all, in her impression, Ning Fa was merely a Pill Master with exceptional talent.
She hadn't expected his combat strength to be so formidable.
The black-clothed youth beside her had his eyes wide open, filled with excitement.
After this exchange.
Shi Shaoyang was forced back repeatedly by the immense recoil force.
Ning Fa's powerful physique came into play, his body merely swaying slightly as if unaffected.
He let out a cold snort, deciding to finish this quickly.
After all, the large contingent of troops that the Huang Family had previously dispatched would surely be returning quickly.
If it dragged on until then, even if he defeated Shi Shaoyang, Huang Shuheng might not necessarily yield.
Ning Fa frantically mobilized the spiritual power and physical strength of the Thunder Source within his body.
Within his massive frame, over a dozen silver light clusters vaguely appeared.
A powerful aura, like that of a primitive beast, emanated from Ning Fa.
He pointed with one hand, and silver thunder spears appeared in the air.
It was the "Thunder Yuan Overlord Spear!"
However, after these overlord spears appeared, they all merged into the Cloud-Breaking Spear.
As the spears merged one by one, the Cloud-Breaking Spear completely turned silver-white, its emitted power growing stronger and stronger.
It seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth.
This move was an upgraded version of the Thunder Yuan Overlord Spear.
This was also why Ning Fa was so delighted upon seeing the Cloud-Breaking Spear.
Only spear-type treasures of this caliber could fully unleash the power of the Thunder Yuan Overlord Spear.
Shi Shaoyang on the other side felt this aura, and his expression drastically changed.
He felt a sense of impending doom, as if he might perish under this spear.
Shi Shaoyang couldn't bother with anything else, he forcefully spat a mouthful of vital blood onto the long sword in front of him.
The white long sword immediately turned blood-red, and the lotus flower on the sword body spun as if it had come alive.
The sword thrust out fiercely, bringing with it a blood-colored sword energy.
The blood-red light in the air intensified, and a blood lotus about ten feet large appeared.
A powerful aura, both bloody and eerie, emanated from the blood lotus.
In the next moment, the Cloud-Breaking Spear, which seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth, pierced through.
The blood lotus spun rapidly, emitting countless blood-colored sword energies, madly resisting the destructive lightning power of the Cloud-Breaking Spear.
"Break for me!"
Ning Fa shouted fiercely.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the blood-colored lotus shattered into countless fragments.
The Cloud-Breaking Spear, its momentum unabated, continued its thrust towards Shi Shaoyang.
