Chu Tongshen's face was full of anger. Li Ming's actions clearly showed that he looked down on him.

Seeing Li Ming's attack with such overwhelming force, he was slightly surprised, but in an instant, anger and killing intent surged within him, and he roared.

Its body also moved forward.

Chu Tongshen took a simple step forward, and his powerful aura caused the wind and clouds to change color. Streams of crimson true energy surged from his body, rolling like a tidal wave, and in the blink of an eye, the area within dozens of meters around him was enveloped.

A peerless battle halberd suddenly appeared and was held in his hand. Its tip was as white as snow and its teeth were like the setting sun. It was a first-grade spiritual weapon made in imitation of the divine weapon, the Overlord Divine Halberd.

Plates of armor rapidly rose from his body, instantly covering his entire form.

The halberd in his hand possessed an incomparably powerful aura. He didn't seem like a martial arts master or a wandering swordsman, but rather like a great general commanding thousands of troops. Wherever the halberd pointed, the entire army would follow. Such momentum was enough to overwhelm everything.

All eyes were on the two figures. From this angle, it seemed that their auras were evenly matched, making it a battle of equal strength.

Faced with Li Ming's fierce attack.

Although Chu Tongshen was arrogant, he was not stupid, and he would not underestimate a formidable enemy like Li Ming.

A powerful, solid crimson aura surged forth, outlining a domineering humanoid figure behind him.

This figure also wielded a divine halberd, and his appearance was almost identical to that of Chu Tongshen. The two figures, one large and one small, simultaneously brought down their halberds, directly severing the airflow within a range of dozens of feet, and unleashing a surge of tangible killing intent!

boom!

At the same time, with the surging air currents, Li Ming's powerful physique combined with his elusive movement technique made air resistance seem to disappear for him.

With just one step, he traversed hundreds of meters!

His blade was also extremely fast. Li Ming swung his blade, and a blue light bloomed in the air. The blade light was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. A ten-meter-long dragon, as if it were real, soared out from the blade light and charged towards the halberd with bared teeth and claws!

Stop looking, run!

A scream instantly startled the onlookers, and upon hearing the word "run," they immediately realized the problem.

Without further hesitation or doubt, for the sake of their lives, everyone scattered in a panic. Some even broke through windows and jumped out, too afraid to watch any longer.

What happened immediately proved that their actions were without any problems.

Boom!

The two attacks collided, and a terrifying roar exploded.

The sword dragon formed from the blade's aura and the towering halberd were both annihilated.

There was only a moment of silence before it transformed into shockwaves that spread outwards.

All that could be heard were the sounds of collapse. The inn, which the demons had failed to destroy, was now subjected to a tremendous impact. As the shockwave spread, large amounts of wood chips and soil flew in the billowing dust, and the huge inn collapsed with a deafening roar.

"Holy crap... is this what a battle between top-tier players looks like?"

"Terrifying!"

Forced back by the shockwave, the numerous martial artists began to scream in disbelief. Just by looking at the aftershocks, one could tell how powerful the two combatants were.

The force of their battle, including the gale and residual energy, could shatter metal. How could an ordinary martial artist dare to approach?

In their first encounter on the battlefield, the two were evenly matched.

clank!

Amidst the continuous clanging of metal, waves of air surged forth, utterly destroying numerous houses and shattering even the bluestone floors and sturdy stone walls.

Upon seeing this, Chu Tongshen's body trembled, and the thunderous roar of tigers and leopards resounded from his chest, demonstrating that his physical cultivation was also extraordinary.

As a descendant of the Overlord, he was born with a physique far superior to ordinary people. In addition, he cultivated bloodline secrets from childhood, and his bloodline continued to revert to its ancestral form, eventually turning into purple blood, giving him a hint of the Overlord's style.

He was trying to engage in a physical fight, but Li Ming, seeing that his opponent intended to do so, did not back down. He held the knife in one hand and punched out with the other, like a cannonball, smashing towards his opponent.

The two figures were like two streaks of light, constantly colliding and bombarding each other.

"boom!"

Chu Tongshen slammed his heavy halberd down with both hands, but Li Ming calmly met the blow head-on.

The halberd swept across, as if by magic or god.

A blade of light emerged, its blade gleaming like a dragon's roar, its true energy coalescing into a powerful aura, revealing its divine might!

The clash between the two was full of power and aesthetics. Every collision caused a huge shockwave. Only martial artists who had reached a certain level could understand how fast and ruthless their fight was. A slight mistake could result in serious injury!

Chu Tongshen's physical body roared continuously, and mysterious runes on his body solidified, radiating an astonishing fighting spirit.

Li Ming, however, was not afraid. His body shone brightly, as if dragons and elephants were roaring together.

Behind each of them was a vast expanse of sky and earth. The clash of their auras and the battle of their bodies took place simultaneously, with each move containing boundless divine power.

The martial artists watching from afar were amazed:

"Such a clash...it's hard to say who will ultimately emerge victorious."

"If only I had even a tenth of their strength..."

"Such terrifying physical bodies are unbelievable... Are these two really human?"

The two people on the field had different thoughts.

"How is this possible..."

Chu Tongshen's expression changed, his heart filled with astonishment.

He naturally knew Li Ming, and knew that this person had an extraordinary physical body and strength far beyond that of ordinary people, but wasn't he the same?

It should be noted that the Overlord of that time was not only exceptionally intelligent and talented, but also possessed an unparalleled physical body and boundless power.

As a descendant of a tyrant, many of the techniques he cultivated were related to body refinement. After mastering the Purple Blood Battle Body, he feared no one.

With another huge roar, Li Ming and Chu Tongshen retreated ten feet at the same time, the heat wave blowing Li Ming's robes.

"The Divine Power Realm? It seems that's all there is to it?"

A trickle of blood oozed from the corner of Li Ming's mouth, but his eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He had unfortunately been injured in this clash.

The opponent's strength at the fourth-grade Divine Power Realm should not be underestimated; the opponent has not yet used any of their divine powers.

However, with the enhancement of his cultivation, the opponent's moves already possessed the power of supernatural abilities, and in a head-on collision, he wouldn't gain much advantage.

"Li Ming, you do have some strength. No wonder you're ranked seventeenth on this list... If you hand over the Overlord Cauldron, I might spare your life!"

Chu Tongshen stared at Li Ming and said coldly.

He wasn't having an easy time either. Li Ming's strength posed a significant threat to him, but he still had immense confidence. Even he was finding it difficult to cope with such a high-intensity battle, let alone Li Ming, whose cultivation was inferior to his.

"The Overlord's Cauldron?"

Li Ming's gaze sharpened as he remembered something.

At first, he thought he had offended the other party's power, but he didn't expect that he was guilty of possessing a treasure.

He had obtained this item from Lianyun Mountain, studied it for a while but couldn't figure out its use, so he went to ask someone about it.

Unexpectedly, this person actually came to our door because of this item.

Most likely, the news leaked out.

However, it also made him realize that this thing was indeed extraordinary.

Of course, he would never hand it over.

The more someone wants it, even risking being wanted by the imperial court to attack him, the more valuable it must be.

It seems he needs to figure out what this thing is actually used for.

Thinking of this, Li Ming, without a trace of fear in his eyes, said loudly:

"You're overthinking it... Why should I give you my things?"

Hearing Li Ming's words, Chu Tongshen snorted coldly:

"What do you mean 'your things'? This originally belonged to my Chu family. It was stolen by a traitor during the chaos. Now that you hand it over, it is returned to its rightful owner!"
