Chapter 0977: Aquamarine Bamboo Python Staff

"Blackwood Feather Fan..."

Li Luo held onto the emerald feather fan as his eyes lit up with interest. The fan was made out of a special kind of wood that only grew on ancient battlefields. It needed corpses as its fertilizer, but once the tree started growing, it would contain a well of life energy. Even the tree sap was enlaced with so much lifeforce that it could treat most serious injuries.

As such, this fan was an artifact that contained both life and death energy. After some refinement, it had gained the power to activate both.

Li Luo took another look at the handle of the feather fan. On it was an extremely bright, violet jewel. This was clearly a single violet-eye treasured artifact.

Li Luo was pleasantly surprised. Although it was only a single violet-eye, its strength should not be underestimated. He had obtained another treasure to bolster his strength.

Bang!

When Li Luo got hold of the Blackwood Feather Fan, a shocking and wild energy storm exploded in the center of the main hall. Many people spat out blood from the crazy shockwave before taking a few steps back.

Looking over, he saw that Qin Ying and Zhu Zhu had begun their aggressive fight for the most brilliant treasured artifact.

They had exchanged over a hundred blows in the blink of an eye. They struck out with their full strength, neither side holding back. The eight radiant Heavenly Pearls behind each of them spun vigorously as they sucked in all the worldly natural energy from the surroundings, emitting a tremendous and frightening pressure.

Every time they traded blows, the strong resonant power aftershocks were so great that the air trembled.

Nonetheless, it was clear that Qin Ying had the upper hand when it came to offense. The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhu ultimately specialized in regeneration, so they were bound to have a harder time when faced with such a situation.

In one of their clashes, the plus-sized Zhu Zhu was forced to retreat multiple steps. As she s.h.i.+fted back, the energy in the air vibrated so violently that white smoke could be seen.

Qin Ying made use of this opportunity to reach out towards that most brilliant ball of light. As his hand reached towards it, dark-gray energy enveloped his arm in the shape of an iron eagle claw. With a tight grip, he shattered the ball of light.

An item flew out of it immediately after. It was a long staff that was aquamarine in color, covered with scales similar to those of a python.

As soon as the staff appeared, it sucked in worldly natural energy from the surroundings. It seemed like water flowing into the mouth of a whale.

In this instant, everyone could see that the worldly natural energy was gathering on the aquamarine staff, on which three violet marks could be seen.

"Triple violet-eye treasured artifact!" someone shouted.

Although everyone would have guessed that this would be an extraordinary treasure given the brilliance of the ball of light earlier, a lot of them were expecting just a twin violet-eye treasured artifact. They did not expect it to be a triple instead!

Such a treasured artifact was considered the strongest kind that anyone below the Duke Stage could ever get. Even among all the various major forces, only the most talented individuals could get their hands on one.

Qin Ying's eyes lit up jubilantly when he saw the treasure. He let out a long cry, and a golden falcon materialized behind him. The falcon exuded an unusually sharp aura, with every feather dazzling brightly like swords made of light.

This was his resonance, an upper eighth-grade Sword Falcon resonance.

Qin Ying reached out as quick as lightning and grabbed the aquamarine staff, his resonant power surging.

However, the treasure trembled aggressively as soon as they came into contact. Aquamarine light flowed around it and took the shape of a giant python. Then the snake opened its maw with a vicious hiss. A deadly, poisonous ray shot out of its mouth, aimed directly at Qin Ying.

This sudden development caught him completely off guard, and his mind fell into a daze all of a sudden.

"What a vicious poison ray!"

Qin Ying's face changed completely as he released his grip on the staff. He flipped the sleeve of his robes, and golden resonant power surged up, clas.h.i.+ng directly with the ray of poison. In the next moment, pungent smoke filled the air, and the golden light quickly melted away.

After the aquamarine bamboo staff forced Qin Ying to take a step back, it transformed into a aquamarine light and slithered across the main hall.

As there was no owner yet, the triple violet-eye treasured artifact attracted the greed of many rogue cultivators around the hall as they chased after it.

However, the staff seemed to possess a life of its own. Like an aquamarine python slithering through the battlefield, it was really swift and no one could catch up to it. Occasionally, someone would get close to it out of pure luck. However, they were immediately forced to retreat by the poison ray. In just a few moments, quite a few people were turned into pools of blood by the poison ray.

Li Luo was shocked at the sudden turn of events. At the same time, he was also eager to try in capturing the aquamarine bamboo staff.

"Cousin Lingjing's treasured artifact was completely destroyed earlier. If we can get our hands on this staff, we should be able to keep Qin Ying in check if we combine it with her original strength,” Li Luo thought to himself as his gaze flickered.

However, the staff was far too lively. It was a true challenge to capture it, as one could easily tell from the shock Qin Ying had received earlier. However, Li Luo had the experience gained from obtaining the Blackwood Feather Fan previously; he should be able to do the same thing with the staff too.

He had no choice. After all, his Acquired Resonance Flame was simply too useful in the Spiritual Resonance Cave, so how could he let such a wonderful treasure run loose? Just as Li Luo was thinking about it, the staff seemed to be heading in his direction. Seeing this, he did not retreat. Instead, he reached out and grabbed the bamboo staff directly.

The crowd sneered when they saw his arrogant move. Even people as powerful as Qin Ying had suffered at the hands of this thing. How daring was Li Luo, a mere Fiend Finisher, to touch it with his bare hand like this? Was he not afraid of the poison ray that would turn him into a pool of blood?

On the sidelines, Li Lingjing was shocked to see this too. She did not expect Li Luo, who was usually calm and composed, to act so rashly all of a sudden. Was he blinded by his greed for a triple violet-eye treasured artifact?

Nonetheless, it was far too late for her to do anything now. Before the gazes of the crowd, Li Luo got a firm grasp on the aquamarine light.

He tightened his grip on the handle of the staff. It was densely covered with what looked like python scales, causing it to feel slightly p.r.i.c.kly. However, he had no time to be bothered by that. At this moment, the aquamarine light flashed and the huge aquamarine python emerged. It hissed with its ferocious mouth, and the poison ray shot out like a waterfall.

The poison ray lanced across the main hall. Everyone retreated immediately, afraid to get caught up in it.

At the same time, they felt disapproval in their hearts as they watched Li Luo, confident that he would end up paying a really heavy price for his greed today.

Qin Yi was also looking at him intently. She found the entire situation a little out of the ordinary as Li Luo was clearly not such a dumb fool, judging from their previous encounters.

"Aiya, Brother Li Luo."

Zhu Dayu let out a sigh. "We'll be brothers again in the next life!"

However, Li Luo's face was totally calm despite all the gazes from the peanut gallery. He stared directly at the incoming poison ray as the Acquired Resonance Flame emerged in the palm of the hand that was holding the staff. In the blink of an eye, the flame wrapped around the whole treasure.

Weng!

The Acquired Resonance Flame burned fiercely, and the staff buzzed violently in response.

Everyone in the main hall was dumbfounded by what happened next. The poison ray that was about to finish Li Luo off split into numerous branches all of a sudden, avoiding Li Luo completely.

In the next moment, the poison rays gathered back together and were then swallowed back up by the giant python!

The giant python hissed as if it were speaking as it stared at Li Luo with its vertical pupils. It then gradually moved closer to him and actually hissed with what seemed like affection towards him.

At this moment, multiple messages flashed across Li Luo's mind.

Aquamarine Bamboo Python Staff, triple violet-eye treasured artifact. It was created through a combination of the Heavenly Aquamarine Python and Aquamarine Bamboo, both of which were tens of thousands of years old. It's immune to thousands of poisons, and its Aquamarine Bamboo body grows back whenever it breaks. A resonant power injection can cause it to transform into the Heavenly Aquamarine Python, which can spit out deadly rays of poison that can completely disintegrate the flesh.

"What a treasure," Li Luo unwittingly muttered after understanding the information that had surfaced in his mind. With such strength and capabilities, this was indeed a triple violet-eye treasured artifact.

While he had a heart full of satisfaction, many of the people in the hall had their eyeb.a.l.l.s nearly dropping out of their sockets after seeing the result.

They could not understand why the deadly aquamarine staff had been so easily captured by Li Luo. Their stares all turned into gazes of jealousy in an instant.

"Hand it over!"

Qin Ying, who had worked so hard to capture it, was the most furious of all. His face was gloomy as he screamed. In a flash, he appeared right in front of Li Luo. The eight radiant Heavenly Pearls behind him exploded with terrifying pressure, trying to force Li Luo into submission.

At the same time, he did not hesitate to attempt to s.n.a.t.c.h the staff away from Li Luo's hands.

Bang!

The air shook violently. Li Luo had fully activated the Nine Scales Sanctified Dragon's Body to resist the tremendous pressure.

Right at this moment, a slender, jade hand tapped Li Luo's shoulder and pulled him back just in time to avoid Qin Ying's clutches.

Li Lingjing walked up from behind Li Luo and stood in front of him, looking at Qin Ying directly with an icy stare.

"Do you really want to fight?" she asked.

When he locked eyes with Li Lingjing, Qin Ying felt a chill run up his spine, as if he could instinctively feel fatal danger coming from her.

He could sense that there was a frightening existence hidden inside this pale lady that would frighten anyone.

As a result, Qin Ying froze on the spot instead of taking another step forward like he originally planned.

His eyes were full of questions. He could not understand why Li Lingjing, who should be around the same level as him, could emit such a terrifying sensation.

"Li Lingjing, you're injured, right? If not, you’d surely have joined the fight to grab the treasures earlier," Qin Ying said with a gloomy expression, clearly trying to sound out his opponent.

However, Li Lingjing did not reply. She merely stared at him coldly.

At this point, a sneerful laugh came from the distance. Zhu Zhu was walking over, obviously gloating over his misfortune. "Hey, Qin Ying, I've given you a chance, but you did not make full use of it. The treasure has found its owner; are you so ill-mannered that you would steal it?"

Qin Ying's face twitched a little.

"Brother, forget it. Danger is approaching, so we should not fight amongst ourselves now," Qin Yi said with a gentle voice as she walked over.

The situation was really unfavorable for him. Besides, they could not tell how strong Li Lingjing truly was. It would be really unwise to get into a fight right now, considering all the uncertainties present.

Hearing her words, Qin Ying nodded unwillingly.

The crowd was very disappointed at this ending. A fierce fight had erupted between two of the strongest cultivators in the room, and no one would’ve guessed that the treasure they had fought over would end up with Li Luo.

Nonetheless, Li Luo simply turned towards Li Lingjing and smiled. The crowd sighed at this uneventful ending.

Li Lingjing looked at him angrily and whispered, "Why are you trying to show off at this point in time? Although the triple violet-eye treasured artifact is precious, it's not as if you do not have one."

At this moment, Li Luo simply reached out and took Li Lingjing's hand. He placed the Aquamarine Bamboo Python Staff in her grasp as he looked into her confused eyes and replied with a smile, "It's for you."

When Li Lingjing felt the cold touch of the Aquamarine Bamboo Python Staff in her hand, her red lips opened slightly. She was totally surprised as she stared blankly back at Li Luo. "For me?"
