Absolute Resonance Chapter 1339: Zhao Xiuyuan

Chapter 1339: Zhao Xiuyuan

As Li Foluo coldly spat out those words, those who heard it felt as though a thunderclap had gone off by their side. The numerous squads' expressions changed as voices began to whisper amongst themselves.

"True Dragon Guardian General, Zhao Xiuyuan?" "Oh? Zhao Xiuyuan actually came here as well? It's said that he's the strongest Guardian General amongst the Ten Thousand Beast Armies. It was no wonder why Li Foluo was injured with a single strike. He's an upper fourth-grade while his opponent is a lower fifth-grade."

As the experts in the crowd continued to speak amongst themselves, their eyes were directed at the location where the blood mist was gradually disappearing. Only then did they see a group of figures walking over slowly. Everyone's eyes were focused on the foremost figure.

This was a tall and slender man garbed in black robes. He was handsome and at the same time, his hair and eyebrows were white which gave him an even more extraordinary appearance.

As he walked forward, it was as though a white mist was propagating from under his feet, shrouding his body and giving him an ethereal sort of feeling. "It really is Zhao Xiuyuan!"

Qin Zhenlin also saw the white haired and browed male as his eyes shrunk. At the same time he felt a little confused. Zhao Xiuyuan had clearly opted to ambush Li Luo from the very start and his resonant power seemed to contain immense amounts of killing intent. This meant that he had indeed sought to kill Li Luo.

So what did Li Luo do? How could he have provoked Zhao Xiuyuan to the point that he would take action without caring for his stature and position?

"Li Foluo, it has been a while. It looks like you haven't improved much considering that i've seriously injured you without using my White Dragon Seasplitting Palm." Zhao Xiuyuan glared at Li Foluo with a cold smirk before everyone's fearful gazes.

Li Foluo's expression turned grave. "Sneakily ambus.h.i.+ng someone from the dark? The strongest Guardian General of the Ten Thousand Beast Armies only amounts to so much after all."

When faced with Li Foluo's mocking words, Zhao Xiuyuan insipidly replied. "This is nothing compared to what you guys have done. After all, Jiang Qing'e killed Zhao Baisun whereas Li Luo also took out Zhao Jiyun. They indeed are quite capable. You've dealt such a crippling blow to my Ten Thousand Beast Armies and now I've coincidentally managed to encounter you guys here. In that case I naturally have to pay a life for a life. Do I still need to act politely?" Zhao Xiuyuan's words immediately caused the crowd to fall silent.

Even Qin Zhenlin was taken aback as he blurted out. "Zhao Baisun was killed by Jiang Qing'e? The Divine Tiger Envoy Zhao Jiyun also fell at Li Luo's hands? How could this be possible?" It was common knowledge that Zhao Baisun was a lower fourth-grade Duke. Although his strength was nearer to the bottom amongst the Guardian Generals, he was still a fourth-grade! Meanwhile Jiang Qing'e was a first-grade? This meant that the Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried allowed her to surpa.s.s even the third-grade, to slaughter Zhao Baisun?

Meanwhile the gap between Li Luo and Zhao Jiyun was even wider. One was an upper third-grade whilst the other?

A mere Greater Heavenly Resonance stage! The gap between the two stages was like the difference between heaven and h.e.l.l. Just what did he rely upon to bridge this gap?

Qin Yi's red lips were also slightly ajar as her beautiful eyes couldn't hide the astonishment within her. Although Li Luo had always displayed spectacular battle results, being able to jump stages and beat a third-grade Duke was a little too unbelievable.

Shen Yunge glanced at the sh.e.l.l-shocked Qin Yi and his eyes shrunk as he smiled. "Didn't I hear from you that Li Luo possesses a secret art that allows him to wield a spirit beast's strength? I think he should have used it to beat Zhao Jiyun." Shen Yunge's Imperial Beast Hall was also an exceptional Heavenly Emperor power. This was partially due to the fact that they could fuse with spirit beasts and the two combined had a greatly augmented battle strength. Thus all of the Imperial Beast Hall disciples could beat others of a higher stage. In that sense, Li Luo's methods were quite similar to the Imperial Beast Hall's.

"However what I'm most curious about is the fact that he's able to utilize a Duke stage spirit beast's strength at the Greater Heavenly Resonance stage. Isn't he afraid of his mind being taken over by the ferocious energy and turning into a crazed beast?" Shen Yunge laughed. They were most clear of the risks and power from wielding a spirit beast's energy. There were numerous disciples that had gone berserk and lost all control as well.

Qin Yi lightly shook her head. "In the Spiritual Resonance Cave, even when he utilized this power, his mind looked to have remained unharmed. Furthermore he has a resolute mind and I'm afraid this fiendish energy is unable to corrode his will."

Shen Yunge didn't reply. Qin Yi was unaware of just how frightening and overbearing a spirit beast's energy was. This was especially the case when the spirit beast was of a higher stage than the user. Such corrosion of the spirit was incredibly domineering and with Li Luo's Greater Heavenly Resonance stage strength, it would not be an easy task to wield a Duke spirit beast's energy.

As they spoke, Zhao Xiuyuan's gaze turned towards Li Foluo and Li Tingyue as he tyrannically declared. "Hand over Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e. Otherwise a Guardian General will also fall here today."

When faced with Zhao Xiuyuan's killing intent, the two Guardian Generals' expressions turned icy. They didn't bother speaking any more superfluous words as resonant power surged into the air.

Each of their four Duke Bergfrieds rushed into the sky, rousing boundless amounts of energy.

They didn't hesitate in bringing out all their strength as all eight Duke Bergfrieds began to rumble.

Li Foluo hacked downwards with his halberd as scarlet red resonant power swept outwards, transforming into a gigantic lava dragon thousands of feet long. It radiated a terrifyingly high temperature, melting the void wherever it pa.s.sed, slamming right into Zhao Xiuyuan. Meanwhile in the void behind Li Tingyue, a humongous manifestation of a jade dragon appeared. It appeared elegant and when it opened its maw, jadeite dragon manifestation spewed outwards.

Both had taken action with all their strength when faced with the lower fifth-grade Zhao Xiuyuan. They simply didn't dare to test him in the slightest.

Despite both Guardian Generals having shown their hand, Zhao Xiuyuan didn't seem afraid in the very least. He took a step forward as five grayish white Duke Bergfrieds manifested above him, swallowing copious amounts of energy.

In the void behind him, a gigantic white dragon manifested. It seemed to tread through the clouds effortlessly, having an almost otherworldly appearance. At the same time a bright halo appeared behind the white dragon's head as it shone with light.

When Li Luo saw this, his eyes narrowed slightly. This was...

A lower ninth-grade White Dragon resonance And an upper eighth-grade Light resonance! This Zhao Xiuyuan actually had a dragon resonance! It was no surprise why he had ended up as the True Dragon Guardian General. Zhao Xiuyuan bellowed like thunder and rushed forward. His five fingers were clenched into a fist and at the same time, the White Dragon behind him stretched its claws out, covering his fist.

He then struck outwards and incredible amounts of white light poured out, giving off a sacred and holy aura.

The White Dragon and Light resonance bolstered fist manifestation carried majestic momentum that shattered the void, meeting both Li Foluo and Li Tingyue's attack simultaneously. Bang!

A heaven rending boom resounded out as frenzied resonant power blasted out in every direction. It forced the crowd who was watching idly to retreat.

That said everyone was focused upon the point of collision.

They could see that the White Dragon and Light resonance imbued fist manifestation had crushed the two's attacks like brittle twigs. This unstoppable and domineering attack was on full display for everyone to see.

Hnrgh!

Li Foluo and Li Tingyue both groaned as their figures were sent flying thousands of feet away. With that successful counterattack, Zhao Xiuyuan blazed to action with a thought and directed the remnant fist manifestation towards Li Luo, looking to deliver a heinous blow.

This caused the crowd's eyes to jump. It looked like Zhao Xiuyuan was truly looking to deliver a mortal blow. If even a normal Duke couldn't handle it, how could Li Luo, a Greater Heavenly Resonance do so either?

However before the fist manifestation was about to land, a beautiful figure pierced through the air as blinding light resembling the sun poured out from her.

The fist manifestation that originally gave off a holy aura instantly dimmed with the appearance of this figure.

Surprised gazes turned towards the newcomer as they saw an inimitable beautiful figure float in mid air. Behind her, three halos formed by her light spirit avatars slowly rotated.

It was Jiang Qing'e!

"Hongyou!" Jiang Qing'e shouted out as she grasped onto her heavy sword.

When Li Hongyou heard her, she formed a handseal as a Vermilion Fruit G.o.dly Transformation Seal appeared, shooting into Jiang Qing'e's body in a beam of flowing light.

At the same time, the pure and rich resonant power within her body began to increase steadily.

Light bloomed between her hands and a sacred sword made of light swiftly manifested, striking out explosively towards the fist manifestation.

Weng!

As the two attacks struck, the fist manifestation was the first to collapse into motes of light as its energy had already been depleted in the clash against Li Foluo and Li Tingyue.

Zhao Xiuyuan's expression changed.

A hubbub kicked up amongst the crowd.

Numerous shocked gazes were directed towards Jiang Qing'e and the perfect Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried above her.

She then slowly raised her sword, pointing at Zhao Xiuyuan from a distance. At this time Li Foluo and Li Tingyue had recovered, taking their place beside her.

Jiang Qing'e's countenance was frigid and sharp like a blade and at the same time, a clear and pleasant voice that reminded one of a clear spring striking a rock sounded out, laced with immense killing intent.

"If the Ten Thousand Beast Armies wants to lose yet another Guardian General, I'm happy to oblige."

Zhao Xiuyuan laughed furiously when he heard those words. "What a brazen first-grade Duke. Do you really think that a single Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried would mean that you're unrivaled? Kill me? With just the three of you?" "Well I'd hate to interject..." At this point Li Luo smiled as he took a step forward. Boundless amounts of ferocious energy surged into him like a wild tempest, blasting out of his body in waves.

He now emanated the fluctuations of an upper third-grade Duke.

His gaze then lingered upon Zhao Xiuyuan as his eyes flickered with murderous intent. At the same time his voice rang out for all to hear.

"Zhao Xiuyuan, do you dare to try us now?"
