Chapter 1328: A Blade Slaughters Little Zhao
Boom!
Li Luo created a sonic boom when he shot out, as his speed had risen to an unimaginable level. Numerous afterimages were left in his wake as he barrelled towards the group.
He exuded a sense of merciless momentum that seemed to fill the skies.
"How arrogant!" When Zhao Jiyun saw this, his face had turned steely green. Li Luo, a Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier cultivator, dared to call out five Dukes? He was an upper third-grade Duke himself, and he felt like Li Luo's behavior truly looked down upon them. "Everyone strike at once. Kill him!" Zhao Jiyun's eyes welled up with killing intent as he bellowed.
In the next moment, the five acted as one. Divine Mist flowed out of their Duke Bergfrieds, forming all sorts of wondrous attacks that covered the sky.
Li Luo currently had the aid of the Six-tailed Heavenly Wolf, and his greatly enhanced body and speed made him move like a bolt of lightning. Even Zhao Jiyun could only briefly make out illusory afterimages as Li Luo zoomed past.
All of the Divine Mist attacks hit nothing but empty air.
"Zhao Zhuoyan, watch out! He's heading for you!" Zhao Jiyun warned.
Zhao Zhuoyan's mind spun as he hurriedly attempted to escape. He could hear the sounds of air compressing and exploding due to Li Luo's sheer speed. In a flash, the figure wrapped in Violetgold Dragonscale Armor and wielding the blade that resembled a dragon's fang had appeared ominously before him with a savage aura.
The pressure coming from his foe caused Zhao Zhuoyan to go pale.
"As I said, if you don't want to be friends, you can just go ahead and die." Li Luo's callous words were filled with murderous intent. The last time they met, he had merely destroyed half his body. This time, since they planned to fight to the death, he wouldn't show any mercy.
Li Luo swung his sword, sending ferocious blade energy flying in every direction, directly shattering the void. This strike was a result of the Six-tailed Heavenly Wolf's power and Li Luo's newfound physical might.
When the light from the blade energy filled Zhao Zhuoyan's eyes, he sensed death beckoning him.

His mind was a mess as the two Duke Bergfrieds above him roared to life and dense amounts of Divine Mist flowed forth, swiftly condensing into a runic flame shield.
The tyrannical blade light, on the other hand, was not hampered in any way by Zhao Zhuoyan's resistance. As it hacked downwards, the two attacks clashed.
A soft tink rang out, but it heralded abject terror for Zhao Zhuoyan. His flame shield was like tofu before the sharp blade energy; it was easily sliced apart.
His last-ditch attempt at an all-out defense seemed both ridiculous and a little funny to Li Luo at this moment.
At this point, his entire body seemed to be frozen.
"Impossible! That's impossible! I'm at the peak of the lower Second Duke Stage. How could I be left in such straits by a Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier brat?" Zhao Zhuoyan thought to himself with a heart full of disbelief. A Duke Stage spirit beast's energy was incredibly fiendish and untamed; even he wouldn't dare to let it enter his own body. The energy itself was chaotic and could lead to a backlash. Only the Imperial Beast Hall had access to unique secret arts that allowed one to fuse one's energy with a spirit beast's.
Meanwhile, Li Luo was completely unaffected.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, but before he could say a word, the sword energy had drawn across his neck.
Fresh blood spurted and a head flew up into the sky.
As the world spun around him, the last thing Zhao Zhuoyan saw was Li Luo slightly moving his mouth, soundlessly transmitted words to him.
"Goodbye, Little Zhao."
All that had just transpired had been witnessed by Zhao Jiyun and the rest. Their expressions turned pale as no one had expected the lower second-grade Duke Zhao Zhuoyan to be decapitated in the blink of an eye.
"Li Luo, you deserve death!" Zhao Jiyun fumed. Zhao Zhuoyan was the Divine Tiger Guardians' First Grand Commander, and his death meant that their forces' strength had deteriorated greatly. Furthermore, their reputation had gone down the drain with this act.
In his fury, Zhao Jiyun took this opportunity to act. With a thought, his three massive Duke Bergfrieds blasted towards Li Luo like three beams of light, suppressing him.
The Duke Bergfrieds contained endless amounts of resonant power, resembling three towering mountains that could cover the sky. The void began to crack to pieces in the face of the oppressive presence of the Duke Bergfrieds.
The two Grand Commanders from the Golden Peng Guardians also rallied their Duke Bergfrieds and used the simplest method to attack, suppressing Li Luo as well.
The bergfrieds were not just a representation of a Duke's potential; they could serve as formidable weapons against enemies. They could be used to attack, defend, or be utilized in a myriad of different ways.
Li Luo had carried out a lightning-fast blitz, resulting in the death of Zhao Zhuoyan, but he now discovered the impending attacks launched at him. It was too late for him to retreat, though he didn't plan to.
The keen dragon claws covered with scales tightly gripped the Dragon Elephant Blade. The Six-tailed Heavenly Wolf's energy roared within his body, and he became slightly excited at the terrifying power he now possessed.
"Elder Brother, who should we first kill?" He grinned.
The Six-tailed Heavenly Wolf let out a low snort in the scarlet bracelet, still lying down like it was napping. However, its scarlet eyes flickered momentarily. It was now comparable to an upper third-grade Duke and the amount of fiendish energy it possessed was several times greater than before. Whever Li Luo borrowed its strength in the past, he had to suffer for it.
However, it was shocked to see that when its energy poured into Li Luo, the energy seemed to turn docile. Furthermore, the fiendishness of the energy failed to affect Li Luo in the least.
If not for the fact that its own power was being used, it might have suspected that this was Li Luo's own energy.
When it observed more closely, it realized that the reason was because Li Luo had a Heavenly Dragon resonance now.
The Heavenly Dragon race stood at the absolute peak of the spirit beasts, stronger than even the Nine-tailed Heavenly Wolf. Li Luo had used the Transforming Dragon and the Heavenly Dragon True Body to create a humanoid Heavenly Dragon. The fiendish energy of the Heavenly Wolf Race was naturally subjugated thanks to those power-ups, unable to wreak havoc within his body.
This situation left it feeling a little complicated. In the past, Li Luo had to carefully borrow its strength, fearing the corrosion of his spirit due to the fiendish influence of its energy. He had to tread carefully if he didn't want to become a slave to it.
However, as of today, it could no longer pose a threat to him.
This also meant that the brat could wantonly wield its power as he wished!
This caused the Six-tailed Heavenly Wolf to sigh bitterly in its heart. Despite how dangerous it was, this brat had managed to squeeze out an immense amount of power from it. Now that he could fully withstand its power, wouldn't the wolf just be drained at a whim?
That said, the brat was quite impressive in his own way. He had managed to slay a second-grade Duke in the blink of an eye despite dealing with the combined efforts of five Dukes. If they were to change positions, it wouldn't have been unable to do the same.
The Six-tailed Heavenly Wolf closely observed Li Luo's imposing figure in the sky. It knew that the moment he broke through, their strength and positions would reverse.
Perhaps this brat was deserving of being its master.
