Absolute Resonance

Chapter 1255: Li Luo's First Battle Against A Duke

The dazzling Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried stood tall in the sky. Many Dukes stared at it as if they were drunk. The Duke Bergfried that truly represented perfection was right before their eyes.

Even Li Jiluo and the other elders were moved when they saw it from the elevated platform.

"Hall Master Li Qingpeng, when did such an unrivaled genius join the Dragon's Fang Guardians? What's her name?" Li Jiluo couldn't help but ask. 

Li Qingpeng revealed a smile on her friendly face. "Her name is Jiang Qing'e. She just joined the Dragon's Fang Guardians." 

"It doesn't seem like she's from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. Someone as exceptional as her should have an extraordinary background, isn't that right? Why did she come to the Dragon's Fang Guardians?" Li Jiluo asked in surprise.

He did not mean to be rude. However, if Jiang Qing'e was from another top-tier power, it would be hard to understand why they would let her go. This did not make any sense at all.

"Haha. She is Li Luo's fiancee. They grew up together, and Li Luo brought her to the Dragon's Fang Lineage recently. Qing'e followed him and they chose to join the Dragon's Fang Guardians together to pursue the path of cultivation," Li Qingpeng explained.

"Li Luo's fiancee?!" Li Jiluo was taken aback by this, and a complex look appeared on his face. Li Luo was truly the son of Li Taixuan. Even his ability to capture the hearts of the girls was as excellent as his father's. Back then, Li Taixuan had left to roam the world and eventually returned with Tan Tailan. She, too, was peerless and stood far above those in the same generation. Meanwhile, Li Luo was even better. He had grown up with her and was already her fiance?

Did those two have some special secret that allowed them to attract these unparalleled women? Li Jiluo knew very well that with the talent Jiang Qing'e had displayed so far, even if she was unable to complete the Path of Ascension, she would definitely still become a central pillar of the Dragon's Fang Lineage.

In this generation, the Dragon's Fang Lineage would have both Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e.

Li Jiluo was beginning to worry for the Dragon's Blood Lineage’s future.

Furthermore... Li Jingzhe had recently made a breakthrough, becoming a Quasi-Triple Crown King.

His eyes flickered and he sighed in his heart. More and more people were threatening the Dragon's Blood Lineage's position as the Mountain Ruling Chief of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li.

As everyone was surprised by the sight of the Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried, Li Luo also summoned up all the resonant power within him.

His 84,000 feet Heavenly Resonance Diagram appeared in the sky above. It was considerable in the outside world, but every other person in the arena had mighty Duke Bergfrieds behind them. Thus, it appeared relatively miniscule.

Everyone whispered amongst themselves, unable to understand why this Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier cultivator was in the middle of a fight between Dukes.

How was a first-grade Duke and Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier cultivator going to fight against the combined might of an upper third-grade and an upper first-grade Duke?

This was akin to the difference between heaven and earth. Even with a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried, surely it wouldn't be enough to change their fates, right?

Li Yuanshan's eyes locked onto Jiang Qing'e cautiously. Although she only had one Duke Bergfried, it was one that emitted extremely strong resonant power. It was comparable to the energy coming from a third-grade Duke.

"Qingbai, we'll follow the plan. I will hold down Jiang Qing'e while you finish Li Luo off as soon as possible. Then I will join hands with you and secure our victory," Li Yuanshan said in a deep voice. 

"Okay."

Li Qingbai nodded. He then looked towards Li Luo with a cold mocking grin.

The three Duke Bergfrieds behind Li Yuanshan roared to life. They sucked in an immense amount of worldly natural energy from the surroundings as he took a step forward.

Bang!

The whole stage appeared to quake violently. In the next instant, a wall made of earth rose up in between Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e, separating the two.

In the same moment, Divine Mist rose up from his three Duke Bergfrieds. This Divine Mist was grayish-yellow in color, condensing into a giant grayish-yellow dragon also immediately. The dragon let out a deafening roar and charged towards Jiang Qing'e.

Everywhere it passed, the void cracked open. It struck fear into everyone who was watching.

Jiang Qing'e figured out Li Yuanshan's plan as soon as she saw the incoming attack. She softly whispered, "Li Luo, take care of yourself for now."

With that, she leaped into the air. Three ninth-grade light Spirit Avatars appeared behind her, and brilliant holy light burst out. In the blink of an eye, all the worldly natural energy in the surroundings had been converted to light resonant power.

She then grabbed her heavy sword, and Divine Mist shot out of her Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried like a stream of holy water, surrounding her blade.

She swung her heavy sword downwards without hesitation. Holy sword energy flew forward like a phoenix of light, clashing with the grayish-yellow dragon directly.

Bang!

A wild storm of worldly natural energy swept across the field.

Jiang Qing'e's petite body trembled slightly and the heavy sword in her hand shuddered, as if a mountain was pressing down on her.

This was an effect of the Earth Dragon resonance belonging to Li Yuanshan.

It could suppress his opponent.

However, the incredible Divine Mist from the Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried continued to rise up. It surrounded her body and cleansed the pressurizing effect of the resonant power completely.

Jiang Qing'e had a grasp of her opponent's strength after this frontal clash. Li Yuanshan was clearly much stronger than Li Changfeng.

She then proceeded to form seals with one hand. Extremely pure and divine light resonant power gathered, and a sigil made of light flew forward.

"Duke Art, Pure Light World Sigil!"

A bright sigil streaked through the air like a meteor. All the worldly natural energy in its path was purified completely.

This attack from Jiang Qing'e was terrifying. If she was just an ordinary first-grade Duke, she would barely be able to catch her breath under Li Yuanshan's suppression. Yet Jiang Qing'e had not only resisted his attack, she had even retaliated in response. The power of a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried was truly formidable.

When Li Yuanshan saw the sigil flying across the sky, he did not underestimate its power at all. He closed his fist, and a yellow mace appeared in his hand.

This was his Mountain Moving Mace, a low-grade Duke Mythic Armament.

When he lifted the mace, the silhouette of a giant mountain could be faintly seen in the sky above them. Then it descended onto the heavy mace and the two appeared to merge into one.

He swung the heavy mace down, colliding with the light sigil directly.

Bang!

The void shook violently. The Duke Bergfrieds from both sides were spewing out resonant power at their maximum capacity, trying to push back against each other.

All the Duke spectators were watching the clash with solemn faces.

Li Zhihuo from the Dragon's Blood Guardians couldn't help but sigh as he watched their confrontation. "The Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried is extraordinary. Even though she’s only a first-grade Duke, she's actually fighting back against a third-grade Duke.

"If her second Duke Bergfried is another Ten-Pillar, I am afraid I'll even be in danger."

Li Hongque was also looking at the dazzling figure in the middle of the battle with eyes full of jealousy. "Do you think it’ll be easy to make another one? Many Dukes throughout history forged a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried when they first entered the Duke Stage. However, they expended too much of their potential on the first one and were ultimately unable to complete the Path of Ascension. In the end, they had to return to the normal path of cultivation. Guardian General, you may not have a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried, but you've forged a nine-pillar in the past. With such a foundation, you're definitely extraordinary as well."

Hearing this, some regret could be seen on Li Zhihuo's face. Who didn't want to forge a perfect Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried? He had experienced an opportunity once where he had attempted to vye for this symbol of ultimate power. Unfortunately, he fell short in the end and could only obtain a nine-pillar.

"It seems like Li Yuanshan will not be able to secure a speedy victory against Jiang Qing'e. However, he's exceptionally skilled when it comes to defense, so not even Jiang Qing'e will be able to defeat him. As long as Li Qingbai is able to defeat Li Luo, the situation will turn in our favor."

Li Hongque nodded in agreement. Her relieved gaze turned towards Li Luo. Li Qingbai had already appeared in front of him with his majestic Duke Bergfried.

Li Qingbai was an upper first-grade Duke. How could someone at the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier like Li Luo resist his attacks?

Many spectators had turned their attention over to Li Luo at this point as well.

Everyone had expected Li Luo to be the weak link in this fight. This was the main reason why Li Zhihuo had agreed to take up this bet.

A Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier cultivator against an upper first-grade Duke.

How could he possibly win?

Everyone watched intently. Li Luo calmed down when he saw Li Qingbai's playful eyes.

This was the first time he was fighting against a Duke with his own strength.

It was also his first true battle since he joined the Heavenly Dragon’s Five Guardian Armies.

Jiang Qing'e had already stolen all the limelight on the other end. It was time for him to flaunt his strength as well.

With that in his mind, Li Luo took a deep breath.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
