Chapter 1327: The Absolutely Outstanding Young Couple
When he saw Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e taking out their trump cards, Li Foluo was first left speechless, then excitement filled him. After all, he couldn't wait for the two of them to surprise him further.
It seemed like the situation had been salvaged from the jaws of defeat.
"Alright, then leave Zhao Qianjun to me. With Hongyou's support, it won't be hard to take him down." Li Foluo brandished his halberd, and the four Duke Bergfrieds above him roared to life. Worldly natural energy was swallowed in huge amounts and a frightening pressure descended on the area.
He then shot into the air, pointing his weapon towards Zhao Qianjun as he bellowed, "Zhao Qianjun, let's fight!"
Scarlet lava flowed from his Duke Bergfrieds. The horrifying heat caused the air to distort.
Zhao Qianjun was still a little taken aback by Li Luo's sudden burst of resonant power. Now that he saw Li Foluo take the initiative to challenge him, his gaze turned icy. "Do you think that Li Luo borrowing the aid of a spirit beast will change the outcome of things?"
The energy undulations coming from Li Luo indicated that the Duke Stage spirit beast was around the third stage. However, this didn't mean that Li Luo could bring out all of its strength and the energy's ferocity and fiendishness was unmatched. A single third-grade Duke should be able to restrain him.
The crux of the battle was whether he could beat Li Foluo.
So long as he beat him here, the Dragon's Fang Guardians would naturally fall apart.
"Zhao Baisun, let's join hands and kill Li Foluo first!
"Zhao Jiyun, lead a group and intercept Li Luo!
"The rest will restrain Jiang Qing'e!"
Zhao Qianjun swiftly gave out his commands, and immediately after, incredible amounts of resonant power burst out of him and he shot into the skies. Duke Bergfrieds appeared above him and Divine Mist flowed, covering the sun and sky. It was a spectacular scene.
The strongest two, Zhao Qianjun and Zhao Baisun, zoomed towards Li Foluo in an attempt to deal with him quickly.
However, a sacred sword made of light pierced through the air, heading straight for Zhao Baisun.
Zhao Baisun frowned. "Jiang Qing'e? You dare to fight me?" His stern expression turned vicious. The opponent was an unrivaled genius, but she was still a first-grade Duke. It was possible that she could fight a third-grade, but he was at the fourth stage!
Golden Divine Mist poured down from over Zhao Baisun's head, transforming into a thousand-foot-tall Golden Peng. It unfurled its wings, which were sharp as blades, as it soared through the void, directly clashing with the sword of light.
Bang!
The clash resulted in an ear-piercing explosion.
Zhao Baisun's expression was the first to change as he realized that his fourth-grade Divine Mist manifestation didn't cause the sword of light to dissipate. Instead, its unparalleled ability to purify was gradually causing the Golden Peng to turn illusory...
He waved his hand, and a golden, feathery longsword appeared in his grasp. He swung the sword, and beams of sword energy that resembled thousands of feathers shooting across the sky materialized, destroying the sword of light.
His expression turned serious as a result of this. The most important part was that Jiang Qing'e's single move had forced him to retaliate with his Duke Mythic Armament, the Golden Feathered Sword.
This meant that her strength had far surpassed his expectations.
Zhao Baisun shifted his gaze to Jiang Qing'e's alluring figure, floating the bright sky. She was radiating extremely pure light resonant power, condensing into a form of holy light that shrouded her, preventing any unclean presences from tainting her.
Furthermore, when she raised her heavy sword, sacred runes began to cover her snow-white skin. The runes exuded the aura of source origin, and it condensed between her eyebrows, forming a sacred spot of light.
Perhaps due to the unimaginably pure light resonant power gathering in a small point, a sacred flame manifested. The sacred flame gave one a magical sense that it could not be violated.
When the sacred brand appeared, the light resonant power in Jiang Qing'e's body exploded.
Even Zhao Baisun felt threatened by it.
He examined Jiang Qing'e and the ancient-looking runes on her skin for a moment, and his heart was buffeted by turbulent waves when he came to a conclusion. He spluttered, "Archaic Runes? Middle ninth-grade light resonance!"
Although people knew that she had triple ninth-grade light resonances, they didn't know that two of them were middle ninth-grade!
This was the first time Jiang Qing'e had revealed her Archaic Runes!
She resembled a goddess of light right now, radiating an inviolable holiness. Behind her, three light Spirit Avatars began to devour worldly natural energy, transforming it into light resonant power that coursed into her body.
Above her floated the glazed Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried, which emitted an oppressive pressure upon all.
Jiang Qing'e's golden eyes indifferently focused on Zhao Baisun. At the same time, she swept her sword sideways, and a beam of sword energy arced along the same path, dragging the Golden Peng Guardians' Envoy into the mix as well.
The Envoy's expression became ugly when he realized he was being targeted. He had thought that the Guardian General was more than strong enough to hold her down, but it seemed she was determined to hold back two of them.
A single first-grade Duke was tying down a lower fourth-grade and an upper third-grade Duke. In a normal situation, the first-grade Duke would be courting death. However, Jiang Qing'e didn't feel that way.
"Zhao Qianjun, the situation has changed. I'll deal with Jiang Qing'e!" Zhao Baisun exhorted.
"Damn it!" This development had ruined Zhao Qianjun's plans. He looked towards Jiang Qing'e in annoyance and surprise. He had already taken her power into consideration and even overestimated her to some extent. But to his shock, that was not enough.
"Truly unrivaled. Since you want to show off your strength, I will let you do as you wish! Zhao Jiyun, go and assist them. Demonstrate your strength and finish Jiang Qing'e off!" Zhao Qianjun viciously commanded.
A lower fourth-grade and two upper third-grade Dukes. Surely they would be capable of dealing with her, right?
Zhao Jiyun prepared to leave to assist.
However, just as he was about to make a move, majestic amounts of resonant power roared and blocked his way like a wall. Zhao Jiyun icily looked over and saw Li Luo.
Li Luo grinned like a rat who found the cheese. "Zhao Jiyun, it's better if you stay behind. However, you won't be enough. The rest of you can all stay here."
Li Luo raised the Dragon Elephant Blade and pointed it at Zhao Zhuoyan, Zhao Zhu, and the two Grand Commanders from the Golden Peng Guardians.
He was planning to take on all five by himself. One was an upper third-grade, two were lower second-grade, whilst the last two were upper first-grade Dukes.
Zhao Jiyun was so furious that he smiled through clenched teeth. "Jiang Qing'e has three ninth-grade light resonances and a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried, so it's fine if she acts brazenly. Meanwhile you're a Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier rat borrowing the aid of a spirit beast. You still dare to challenge us with just that? Do you think we are just useless background minions?"
Li Luo's expression had been placid, but his gaze turned sharp and aggressive at this moment.
"At the very least, in my eyes... you ARE useless minions!" As his voice rang out, he gripped his Dragon Elephant Blade and stepped forth.
True Dragon Pill: Dragonification!
Roar!
A piercing draconic roar echoed as Li Luo's body greatly grew in size and underwent a quick transformation. Dragon scales surfaced on his skin and his palms turned into claws.
His grayish-white hair lengthened and draped behind his back like a waterfall, dancing wildly in the strong wind.
In just a few moments, he had transformed into a dragonoid, standing several dozen feet tall.
Impressive draconic might emanated from him, causing Zhao Jiyun and the rest to pause and their expressions to change.
However, Li Luo did not stop there—he activated the other trump card of his Heavenly Dragon resonance.
Heavenly Dragon True Body!
Li Luo had always wanted to know if he would be able to summon the true body of the Heavenly Dragon after utilizing the True Dragon Pill's Transforming Dragon ability. When these abilities were superimposed, just what sort of heights would his physical strength reach?
It seemed like he would learn the answer to that shortly.
Roar!
An ancient roar reverberated throughout every inch of Li Luo's body, and his dragonoid form started to expand yet again. His scales began to turn violet-golden and became much thicker. In the end, they were shaped like suit of violet-golden scale armor!
On top of that, the energy flowing through his flesh and blood began to change at a frightening pace. His surging blood felt like a gigantic dragon shuttling through his body, and he began to emit extreme heat, causing faint wisps of smoke to rise into the air.
His sharp dragon claws tightly clutched his sword's handle.
The Dragon Elephant Blade had been affected by the Heavenly Dragon resonance and experienced a transformation as well. The violet-golden scales covered the entire blade. It looked like the weapon itself had sprouted scales, turning the originally sharp weapon into one that was jagged and resembled fangs.
The smell of blood filled the air.
A ball of flame was belched from Li Luo's mouth, igniting the smoke around him.
He stood confidently before Zhao Jiyun, Zhao Zhuoyan, and the rest.
Their eyes shrunk at the sight of his transformation.
Li Luo was now as sturdily built as a metal pagoda. His body was equipped with a suit of Violetgold Dragonscale Armor and his eyes seemed to have turned into a pair of a dragon eyes. As his gaze swept across the field, they could sense ancient dragon might radiating from him, causing their bodies to feel sluggish and heavy. Even the resonant power circulating in their bodies was affected.
Barbarous, mysterious, primal.
These were the adjectives that could be used to describe Li Luo. It left a deep impression on the group attacking him.
At the same time, they felt an indescribably fiendish aura from him.
Swoosh!
It was at this point that he finally took action.
He resembled a Heavenly Dragon straight from the myths, capable of devouring the heavens and the earth. It was time to display his majesty for the world to see.
