The spear's shaft, resembling dark black iron, was adorned with spiraling dragon patterns. As his hand gripped it, divine flames erupted skyward. He thrust the spear fiercely toward the incoming sword light.
With a deafening boom, the sword energy swept across, shaking heaven and earth.

The storm of power isolated him, and just the pressure of its concentrated might made him feel like he couldn’t approach.

Faced with Li Hao's imposing aura, the Hundred-Zhang Demon’s expression changed slightly, a trace of gravity appearing on its face. "This strange sensation... it feels familiar. Are you one of the ancient prodigies of the Great Wilderness Heaven?"
Li Hao didn’t respond. In a battle of life and death, there was no need for wasted words.
Kill!
