"Before we begin the fight, how about we raise the stakes a little bit." Li Meng said.

"What do you have in mind?"

"If you manage to win the match, I will let you get out of here alive after you leave all your treasures behind. If you lose, you will become my servant ad follow me." Huang was surprised at the stakes. It was too unfair for me. He was going to lose all his possession either way. The only difference was he would be allowed to leave.

"Don't you think that it is a little tilted in your favor?" Huang said.

"I guess you too are unable to understand the situation you are in. I don't even have any attachments to you and don't even consider you as a worthy rival to have. You are just a weakling who can never compare to me in terms of power. The fact that I would let you go if you win is to signify that you will be qualified to become my rival."

"If you lose, you will either end up becoming my dog or be dead." Li Meng's words were an absolute insult to Huang. He clenched his teeth and fist, but couldn't deny LI meng's words as that was what the situation commanded him to do. He had lost the match even before it started.

"Now for the whole list of treasures which I will be taking from you. This includes every single possession you and your convoy members had along with all the weapons and carts. I will also be taking all the armor and defensive treasures. The last item is your skill. I will be taking the Blood Devil's spear art from you."

Huang was instantly enraged and threw the spear in his hands towards Li Meng. It was an impulsive move and he regretted it seconds later, but to his surprise, Li Meng didn't even move. He simply raised his hands to catch the spear mid-air, without even applying any energy to it.

He had managed to cancel out such a powerful attack with pure physical strength. Both Huang and Li Xuanfa were left astounded. Yin Luo's eyes were wide from the experience. Just how monstrous was this guy's physical strength. Li Xuanfa was the first one to calm down as he remembered his previous encounter with Long Tao and knew that he was a body cultivator.

"It's rude to interrupt when someone is talking. Good spear though. I guess I will take this with me too." He then arched his back and threw it back at Huang with physical strength. Huang tried to stop it the same way Li Meng did, but his figure blasted backward.  The momentum was too huge to control.

"Your skill is the most important part of the price you are going to pay in exchange for your life. We wouldn't even be discussing it if not for the skill." Huang had calmed down and was even nervous due to the last experience. Li Meng was still looking at him with a smile on his face.

"shall we begin?" Li Meng asked.

Huang screamed at the top of his lungs and activated the Rakta Transformation. To Li Xuanfa's surprise the transformation this time was way more powerful than the one during their battle.

" You managed to get some inspiration regarding the art in your last fight. Quite perceptive of you." Li Meng simply raised his hands and another sword appeared above them. The sword was far bigger than the one he used previously, which meant that he hadn't used the full extent of his powers last time.

"killing you s quite easy with my sword art. Even if you had managed to comprehend spear body, the difference in our power couldn't be closed by simple enlightenment. But where is the fun in that? I will show you something far more interesting." Li Meng lowered his hand, yet the sword was still floating above them.

He then proceeded to walk towards Huang while extruding a blood-red aura. The energy was extremely similar to Huang's in nature. Both Li Xuanfa and Huang were surprised to see the view.

"This is the same feeling as my Blood Devil's spear art. What art are you using?" Huang asked excitedly.

"An art which forms the base of your art. You could say that your art might be the sequel to mine." Li Meng said. " te abilities provided to me by this art are quite vast. I will show you something that is quite relatable to yours." The energy began to coagulate in Li Meng's hand, as a long outline was formed. It was a spear.

This was none other than the spear which was formed by Li Meng's blood essence with the help of Weapon Tempering art. According to logic, they would be classified as peak King tier weapons as of now, but the heterogeneous energies in Li Meng's body had imbued many foreign energies into them, making them far stronger.

" A spear formed out of blood essence." Huang was the first one to realize the situation he couldn't mistake the object. It was something created out of blood essence and energy. To his surprise, that was not the end of it. Li Meng's eyes suddenly turned blood red, as he shouted. "Berserker art."

While Huang's body was covered in the battlesuit created by Rakta Transformation, Li Meng's whole body turned Blood red and transformed into a giant. Li Xuanaf couldn't even comprehend Li Meng's power as of now. Was this the same guy who had once lost to me?

Huang was shocked by the scene in front of him. Li Meng didn't hesitate after transforming and directly rushed towards Huang. The spear pierced through the air as it directly appeared before Huang's face. He dodged sideways, only to see Li Meng waving the spear towards his face and smashing it hard.

Huang tried to back off, but Li meng simply threw the spear towards him while rushing from the front. Huang had to dodge mid-air, which restricted his movements making him unable to dodge Li Meng's next attack. The force of Li meng's punch was so huge that his armor was crushed as he could feel his bones cracking.

The clash soon turned into a one-man show with Li Meng savagely thrashing Huang.
