Relentless Beating

Ronald's True Power Unleashed!

Ronald's strength was beyond imagination.

With a sudden burst of force, his Violet Thunder Blade unleashed another devastating shockwave, sending Li Haotian flying across the arena!

Even with the dark energy shield protecting him, he crashed heavily onto the stage.

"What!?"

Qin Ji sprang to his feet in disbelief.

That single strike—Ronald's power was at least on par with a Body Refinement Realm Tier 3 expert!

The audience collectively widened their eyes, while the leaders of several major factions exchanged uneasy glances.

This Ronald… he was this strong?!

Li Haotian staggered up, his face contorted in fury.

"Ronald! You've actually reached this level?!"

His eyes burned with madness as he roared, "But you still can't hurt me! You'll never hurt me!"

The gems on his scepter flared violently, unleashing a blinding storm of light beams—dozens of streaks of white energy crisscrossing the entire arena, leaving Ronald with no space to evade!

The sheer intensity of the attack left the crowd breathless.

"Young Master!"

Blackmoon gasped in horror.

There was no escape.

Some gasped, covering their mouths. Others sighed, already anticipating Ronald's downfall.

But at that critical moment—

Ronald let out a thunderous shout, clenched his left fist, and punched straight into the incoming light beam!

BOOM!

A dull impact echoed through the arena.

Ronald staggered back three steps from the force, but when the dust settled—

His armored gauntlet was intact, though it now smoked slightly, the surface scorched black.

"Hiss…"

A collective gasp filled the stands.

"A supreme-grade mortal-tier armor!?"

Someone in the crowd cried out in shock.

To take a direct hit from a spirit artifact and remain undamaged—his armor had to be top-tier, possibly even on the verge of evolving into a spirit artifact itself!

"How much does that cost?!"

A spectator shrieked, his heart aching at the sheer luxury of it.

Qin Xue's eyes widened in astonishment, while even Mia instinctively covered her mouth in surprise.

On the stage, Ronald glanced coldly at the stunned Li Haotian and smirked.

"Royal Brother, the scepter's energy is limited. At this rate, it'll be drained in no time."

Li Haotian's expression twisted in rage.

"Even if I destroy the scepter, I'll kill you first!"

He howled, raising the Sun and Moon Scepter once more, prepared to unleash another barrage of light.

Ronald sneered.

"Again?"

With a single push, he launched forward like a cannonball, his foot smashing straight into Li Haotian's stomach.

BOOM!

The black light shield trembled, barely absorbing the force, but Li Haotian was still sent flying across the stage.

The white beams vanished midair.

"Kill me? With just this?"

Ronald chuckled coldly and threw another kick.

"You started a rebellion over a woman? You absolute fool!"

BAM!

A punch landed square on Li Haotian's face.

"Where's that arrogance now? Didn't you say it was over?"

BAM! BAM!

Another flurry of punches followed.

"You strut around with her in front of me every damn day—do you think I wouldn't notice?!"

Ronald's blows rained down like a storm, turning Li Haotian into a living sandbag, his body bouncing across the stage.

The crowd fell silent.

A king.

A so-called "king" was being beaten like a street thug in broad daylight.

The black light shield protected him from severe injuries, but it couldn't protect his dignity.

Being publicly humiliated like this, especially in front of Mia, made his rage spiral into utter madness!

With a furious roar, he rolled away, scrambling to his feet.

"RONALD, DIE!!!"

The Sun and Moon Scepter erupted in a blinding flash—

The gems at its peak shone with an overwhelming radiance, black and white energy intertwining into a colossal beam of destruction, surging straight toward Ronald!
