As the head of one of the Four Great Families in Chengyuan Kingdom, Li Tianhao also held the title of the kingdom’s War God.
Once, he had wielded the Blazing Flame Spear, sweeping through countless armies.
Sensing the formidable energy emanating from Li Tianhao, Gu Qingluan couldn’t help but marvel.
No wonder Li Tianhao had gained fame with the Blazing Flame Spear; it was likely a sacred-grade profound artifact!
The Blazing Flame Spear, surrounded by dazzling flames, thrust directly at Gu Qingluan.
The air instantly became scorching hot, causing everyone to feel the heat.
However, facing the oncoming Blazing Flame Spear, Gu Qingluan felt an even more intense heat.
With a slight tilt of her head, she skillfully evaded the sharp spearhead and swiftly reached out her right hand to grasp the spear shaft!
Witnessing this astonishing sight, many exclaimed in disbelief.
“Am I seeing things? Did she… actually catch the Blazing Flame Spear with her bare hands?”
Li Tianhao’s Blazing Flame Spear was embedded with a fire-element mystical beast’s core, and the flames it emitted were akin to a real fire. It was unheard of for anyone to attempt to catch it barehanded!
Gu Qingluan’s audacity could only be explained by either her ignorance or her fearlessness.
And the obvious answer was the latter!
Li Tianhao’s expression abruptly changed. He let out a resounding shout as his profound energy surged, causing the flames surrounding the Blazing Flame Spear to expand even further. From a distance, it seemed as if Gu Qingluan was trapped within a raging inferno.
The onlookers involuntarily held their breath, captivated by the intense scene unfolding before them.
“It would be best if she burned to death!” Wang Shi maliciously whispered under her breath.
Although Su Lie and Qian Xi believed their mistress was formidable, they couldn’t help but feel a wave of nervousness at this moment.
Gu Qingluan smiled lightly, swiftly pulling the Blazing Flame Spear backward and delivering a forceful kick forward.
Li Tianhao lunged forward, startled by the powerful kick, and broke into a cold sweat as he quickly leaped into the air.
Little did he know, a tremendous force was pulling him downward.
His body, which had just ascended, suddenly plummeted.
A powerful gust of wind came rushing toward his face!
Li Tianhao now had only two options: either let go or take the punch head-on.
However, although it seemed like two choices, in reality, they both led to the same outcome.
In a moment of crisis, he released his grip on the Blazing Flame Spear and swiftly retreated.
The long spear spun in the air, rotating 180 degrees, rapidly closing in and aiming directly at Li Tianhao’s throat.
Gu Qingluan stood proudly, firmly grasping the spear.
Li Tianhao let out a bitter smile. “I’ve lost!”
Everyone was stunned.
Their actions were swift and fierce, and nobody expected the outcome to be determined so quickly. “Master Li lost so quickly?”
“So powerful! ”
“The young lady is undoubtedly the strongest among Chengyuan Kingdom’s younger generation, right?’
“Not only in Chengyuan Kingdom but also throughout the entire Cloud Plains Continent, is there anyone younger and more formidable than her?” Gu Zhicheng’s vision darkened.
Indeed, was there any young person who could surpass Gu Qingluan in strength?
Compared to her, even Gu Lingxue, who had entered the Qiankun Academy, paled in comparison!
“I respectfully accept your surrender.” Gu Qingluan handed the Blazing Flame Spear to Li Tianhao.
He took it, saying, “Little girl, you have a bright future ahead. I will no longer interfere in matters between you and the Gu family.”
He turned to face Gu Zhicheng, a regretful expression on his face. “Brother Gu, you have made a grave mistake.”
With those words, he walked away with determined steps.
Gu Zhicheng’s face turned pale.
Gu Qingluan approached him and Wang Shi slowly, a faint smile playing on her lips. “Will you leave on your own, or shall I escort you out?”
“Gu Qingluan, I am your father! Are you really going to be so ruthless?” Gu Zhicheng asked with a grim expression.
Wang Shi, suppressing her fear, said, “Don’t get too arrogant! My daughter is a direct disciple of the Revered One at the Qiankun Academy. If you dare to drive us out, Xue’er will never let you off—Ah!”
Suddenly, Wang Shi felt a sharp pain in her face, causing her to let out a scream.
‘Who? Who attacked me?!’
