"You take another step, and I'll kill you and your men, Tian Wuji!" Long Gongyu threatened, his voice was low but laced with a deadly intent.
"Long Gongyu, are you seriously going to stand in my way again? Are you not afraid of starting a war?" Tian Wuji's voice was equally filled with menace, his eyes narrowing.
Before Long Gongyu could respond, a sudden flash of lightning particles filled the air. Lei Tian materialized in front of Long Gongyu, his sword already drawn and ready to strike.
'Gotcha,' Lei Tian thought confidently as he saw the vulnerable opening on Long Gongyu's chest. With a swift, fluid motion, he drove his blade straight toward the old man's heart.
Clank!
Instead of the sickening sound of steel meeting flesh, there was a harsh metallic clang. Lei Tian's sword tip shattered upon impact!
Lei Tian's eyes went wide, disbelief and horror etched across his face. "Impossible!" he gasped, his voice trembling.
