Chapter 0990: Battle against Zhao Shenjiang

Murderous intent filled the air as the vicious-looking Zhao Shenjiang charged at him ferociously. Li Luo looked at the angry figure and said with a smile, "Big Brother Zhao, why are you being so aggressive? We can discuss things peacefully."

Zhao Shenjiang revealed an icy smirk as he replied, "You had a fun time tricking me back in the valley, right?"

Li Luo responded in a serious voice, "Well, that's because you lack a brain. It was such an obvious trap, yet you stepped into it without any precautions. You can't blame me for that."

Zhao Shenjiang’s grin became wider and his murderous intent nearly solidified in the air at this point. "What a sharp mouth. I'll see what else you have to say when I tear your limbs off later. When your brain juices are flowing beneath my feet, I will her you out fully."

"Seems like it's a fight I can't avoid," Li Luo said with a sigh. Following it, he asked, "Have you prepared anything for me?"

Zhao Shenjiang glared at Li Luo but did not answer. Although he did not understand Li Luo's question, he knew it was a form of trash talk.

Li Luo sensed the lack of reaction from Zhao Shenjiang, so he decided to explain, "All of you from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao are charitable individuals, you see. The brother named Zhao Jingyu always gives me something wonderful whenever we meet. The first time we met, he gave me a set of dragon fangs. Just a while earlier, I received a valuable runic arrow from him. If you have any gifts for me, there's no need to go through all the trouble. You can just pa.s.s them to me right now."

As expected, Zhao Shenjiang knew that nothing good would come out of Li Luo's mouth. Nonetheless, he was boiling with rage now. He understood that he could never triumph over Li Luo with mere words. In that case, it was time to act.

Bang!

Resonant power burst out of Zhao Shenjiang's body like a volcanic eruption. His skin gradually turned blood-red and his veins began squirming like dragons on his body. A terrifying force flowed beneath his flesh.

Zhao Shenjiang possessed a ninth-grade strength resonance. It was a rare resonance that would give one incredible physical prowess. When he took a step forward, the air seemed to explode from the sheer speed and force his body was able to produce. He then shot across at the speed of sound and appeared in front of Li Luo in an instant. With his fist tightly clenched, he punched out.

Bang!

A thunderclap boomed from the absolute speed of the strike, and a dark-red fist manifestation flew towards Li Luo, leaving an afterimage in its wake.

Li Luo stood firmly on the golden lotus throne, and the dragon sigil between his eyebrows lit up.

"Nine Scales Sanctified Dragon's Body! Thunderpeal Avatar!"

Li Luo activated both of his strongest body-enhancing secret arts immediately. At the same time, the Golden-Jade Onyx-Elephant Blade had appeared in his hand.

"Level Three Divine Elephant Power!"

Li Luo clenched his other hand tightly into a fist. He had boosted the physical prowess of his body to its peak at this point. He wanted to have a taste of just how strong Zhao Shenjiang’s lower ninth-grade strength resonance was in a physical battle.

Li Luo took the dark-red fist manifestation head-on. When the two clashed, the void shuddered aggressively and cracked open, causing huge torrents of energy to sweep across the field in all directions.

Li Luo's body shook violently at the moment of impact. He slid back with the golden lotus throne under his feet. Blood spurted out from the pores of his right arm as it trembled continuously in an attempt to neutralize the devastating energy that had invaded his body.

"Truly impressive physical strength," Li Luo said as he stepped backwards. He had barely managed to withstand it. Zhao Shenjiang had sent him flying even with both the Nine Scales Sanctified Dragon's Body and Thunderpeal Avatar in effect.

Without a doubt, Zhao Shenjiang was the strongest foe Li Luo had come across in his generation in terms of physical prowess.

He took out the Blackwood Feather Fan immediately. With a wave, a white light surrounded his arm and his injuries swiftly recovered.

"Kill this brat, Big Brother!" A voice came from the distance. It was coming from Zhao Jingyu, who had been watching their battle with eyes full of murderous intent. He had shouted out of excitement when he saw how Zhao Shenjiang had pushed Li Luo back with his punch.

In fact, the fight between Li Luo and Zhao Shenjiang had caught the attention of many other individuals from the various powers. This was ultimately a battle between two of the strongest in their generation. With their background, this was like a confrontation between both of the Heavenly Emperor powers.

This included Jiang Wanyu, who was not too far from them. She appeared more relaxed at this moment as most of the people from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College had gathered at this point. They clearly held the advantage in terms of numbers, so most people had not approached them recklessly.

"Sister Jiang, are those two elites from the younger generation of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent?" some of the curious and younger students asked her as they watched the battle.

Jiang Wanyu nodded. "Zhao Shenjiang is a two-pearl, and he possesses a lower ninth-grade strength resonance. However, it seems like he can easily kill three-pearl rogue cultivators if they dare to stand in his way."

"What about Li Luo? He doesn't seem to have reached the Heavenly Pearl Tier yet. Is he still a Fiend Finisher? The Dragon's Head of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li is only this strong?" a beautiful girl asked in surprise from the side.

"Li Luo is not as simple as he looks. He possesses triple resonances. With just the presence of three resonant palaces, the foundation of his resonant power is extraordinary. Earlier, I crossed swords with him for a little, and his resonant power was no weaker. He's likely to have many trump cards hidden as well. This battle against Zhao Shenjiang can really be considered a fight between two of the strongest in this generation," Jiang Wanyu calmly explained.

"Who do you think will win, Senior Jiang?"

Jiang Wanyu shook her head and replied, "I don't know. Li Luo may have his trump cards, but Zhao Shenjiang is not simple either. This will be a climatic fight between the dragon and the tiger."

As they were talking about it, Zhao Shenjiang continued to stare at Li Luo with deadly eyes, his hand tightly gripping his spear. It gradually started to turn dark-red as well, as if layers of fresh blood were covering the weapon. The red was so dark that it was nearly black. There were two faintly visible violet marks on the spear as it continuously absorbed the worldly natural energy from the surroundings.

Twin violet-eye treasured artifact, Heavy Mountain Spear. This spear was as heavy as a mountain. In fact, it was the perfect weapon for someone like Zhao Shenjiang.

Bang!

Zhao Shenjiang took another step forward before das.h.i.+ng towards Li Luo with murderous intent, causing the s.p.a.ce to shake.

Li Luo gripoped the Golden-Jade Onyx-Elephant Blade tightly, and the three resonant palaces within him started to activate. Huge amounts of resonant power surged within his body.

The power of dual resonances fused together with the Vestiges of Spirituality, creating a lively and sentient resonant power.

Li Luo's face was expressionless as he slashed his blade downwards. The void in front of him cracked open. At the next moment, a black dragon charged out of the crack, soaring towards Zhao Shenjiang with a ferocious roar and a river of black water.

Greater Completion Underworld River's Black Dragon Banner!

Zhao Shenjiang snorted as he watched the dragon rush towards him. He waved the Heavy Mountain Spear, and for a moment, a mountain seemed to have manifested into being as the void rippled from the terrifying force it exuded.

With a wave of his spear, manifestations of mountains appeared in the sky above. This added onto the weight of his spear, creating a truly devastating force.

Duke Art: Nine Mountains Heavy Spear Technique.

Zhao Shenjiang thrusted his spear, and white waves of energy rippled and set off a series of explosions. At that moment, it was like a meteorite had fallen from the sky and collided directly with the black dragon.

Bang!

Wild energy undulations swept across the battlefield, drawing the attention of many in the surroundings. The fight between these two was so crazy that the shockwave was comparable to the result of a clash between four-pearls.

The fierce black dragon claw clashed repeatedly with the enormous mountain manifestations. At the same time, the heavy spear pierced through the cold, black water like a b.l.o.o.d.y streak, going straight through the black dragon's body.

In the end, Zhao Shenjiang emerged from the black rain. The Underworld River's Black Dragon had been destroyed completely.

However, his face changed completely before he could say anything regarding his victory against the black dragon. In that instant, he felt an imminent sense of danger.

He looked intently at Li Luo, who was holding onto a greatbow exuding an archaic aura. He had also drawn a black arrow beating with lightning and was about to shoot.

This arrow was something Zhao Shenjiang was very familiar with. It was the Underworld Thunder Runic Arrow that Li Luo had taken from Zhao Jingyu.

Li Luo loaded the Underworld Thunder Runic Arrow onto his bow as he smirked. "Come on, let's test out this gift from your good brother."

As he ended his sentence, resonant power surged within his body and flowed onto the pitch-black runic arrow.

Roars of thunder echoed from the runic arrow, and a terrifying presence could be felt.

At that moment, many of the four-pearls had expressions of shock after noticing the energy waves coming from it. When it was released, a series of deafening thunderclaps reverberated in the air.

The runic arrow combined with the Heavenly Dragon's Sunchaser Bow was a frightening sight, even to a four-pearl.
