Absolute Resonance

Chapter 1353: Joining Hands, Battling a Fifth-grade

After Li Luo let out that laugh, both he and Jiang Qing'e shot forward explosively. Majestic amounts of resonant power pulsed from him like a tempest, colliding with a thick wall of corruption.

Li Luo's fingers were tightly clutching his Violetgold Scaled Dragon Elephant Blade that now resembled a vicious fang. He didn't dare to launch any probing attacks when facing the transformed Shen Yunge, as this foe was an upper fifth-grade Duke. This sort of strength was a whole step above Li Zhihuo. If it were Li Foluo or an ordinary Guardian General in his shoes, they would simply not be his match.

Thus, all the resonant power within Li Luo's body thrummed to life and he directly hacked outwards with his sword. At the same time, the void was ripped apart, and draconic roars could be heard coming from that rift.

A moment later, three titanic dragons of different affinities rushed out of that gap and combined into a mottled, ancient dragon banner. Li Luo reached out and grabbed it. With how mighty his physical strength was, he was capable of waving the massive banner wantonly despite its mountain-like weight.

Three Dragons’ Heavenly Banner Canon: Three Divine Dragons’ Demon Smiting Light! With a single motion, brilliant divine light spewed outwards. It resembled a five-colored divine dragon capable of suppressing all the devils in the world, bellowing as it shot towards Shen Yunge.

At the same time, radiant light exploded forth from Jiang Qing'e, then a gigantic, elegant, and sacred-looking sword made of light materialized. Its blade was decorated with seven jewels that shone with a holy luster.

Seven Treasures Glazed Sword of Light! Jiang Qing'e had similarly started off with a Destiny-grade Duke Art. The two were well aware of the gap between them and their opponent. Conventional means were insufficient to deal with Shen Yunge, so they had to put everything they had into this.

The two majestic attacks flew through the sky, their energy undulations causing shock to appear on the crowd's faces. Even Li Foluo, an upper fourth-grade Duke, could scarcely believe his eyes.

The duo's combined attacks were definitely strong enough to threaten most of the Guardian Generals. It was truly unbelievable that this impressive barrage had come from the hands of a Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier cultivator and a first-grade Duke.

That said, if they were in Shen Yunge's place right now, these intense attacks could very likely harm them, but Shen Yunge was an upper fifth-grade!

Before everyone's worried gazes, Shen Yunge didn't move from his original position. Instead, boundless amounts of grayish-black resonant power emanated from his body in response. It felt frigid to the touch and seemed to have been tinged with corruption as well.

He stretched his hand out, and one could see that his palm was covered with snake scales. Corruption was oozing from the gaps between them.

A moment later, the grayish-black resonant power twisted upwards, transforming into a humongous snake covered with black scales. It hissed loudly and gathered as much energy as it could to block Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's attacks.

Boom!

A wild energy tempest kicked up from the clash of violent energies. It caused the ground to crack, resembling a spider's web.

The void rumbled and shattered. The black-scaled titanic snake spewed out a ray of poison breath, eroding Li Luo's Three Divine Dragon's Demon Smiting Light. It then used its humongous body to bear the brunt of Jiang Qing'e's Seven Treasures Glazed Sword of Light.

The sacred sword cut a deep wound into its body, but an inky substance immediately appeared on injury, swiftly offsetting any remnant light resonant power and preventing it from spreading within its body.

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's expressions changed. The two had utilized Destiny-grade Duke Arts, but the creature had easily mitigated their attacks.

Shen Yunge's eyes started trembling violently, and a black coloration quickly spread through them. Then his head twisted in a strange angle, locking onto Li Luo.

The corners of his mouth curved up in a strange and ferocious way as he yelled in a hoarse voice, "Li Luo!"

When Li Luo saw that Shen Yunge was able to recognize him, he hurriedly replied, "Shen Yunge, did you manage to awaken your consciousness? We can help you!"

However, when Shen Yunge opened his mouth again, Li Luo saw a pitch-black snake hissing inside it. He retorted in an unsettling way, "Help me? You lowly wretches. Soon, all of you will be screaming in despair under my feet!"

Li Luo helplessly shook his head and pointed the Dragon Elephant Blade towards him. "It looks like you can't be saved. I guess you can just die now."

Shen Yunge had always been hostile to Li Luo, and after being corrupted, this feeling had been magnified many times over.

It would be best to figure out a way to deal with him permanently.

The huge, black-scaled snake in the sky then opened its maw and spat out incredible amounts of poison breath, enough to blot out the sun and cover the sky. It then poured down towards the duo.

Li Luo hurriedly waved the banner. Divine light surged and wrapped around his body protectively.

Meanwhile, Jiang Qing'e's body began to emanate immeasurable amounts of light and the three halos behind her began to revolve quickly, protecting her and breaking down the tyrannical poison.

Shen Yunge's superior upper fifth-grade strength had shown its advantages at this point.

A merciless smirk appeared on his face as his inky-black eyes watched the duo get drowned in poison.

He took a step forward, but only his upper half started rising steadily into the air. Dusky ebony bone spurs began to protrude out of his back, his elbows, and other parts of his body. Each bone dripped with inky-black blood.

What was particularly eye-catching were his legs, which had transformed into a pitch-black snake-tail. In just a few short moments, Shen Yunge had transformed from a human into an obsidian half-snake half-human monster. At the same time, his aura had turned savage and cold.

Shen Yunge's inky eyes locked onto Li Luo, and the smile on his face deepened. It seemed that he no longer held any trace of consciousness, but the disgust towards Li Luo in his heart had turned into mindless killing intent.

He then slammed his tail downwards fiercely. Bang!

The sheer terrifying physical force caused the ground to shatter. He moved so quickly, he looked like nothing but a beam of black light, soaring through the air and barreling towards Li Luo.

Li Luo's expression shifted slightly. He backed off explosively, waving the dragon banner as he retreated. Copious amounts of divine light shot outwards, transforming into a resplendent dragon that protected him.

Bang!

However, Shen Yunge's scale-covered palm punched towards him, ripping apart the layer of divine light violently.

His face full of scales squeezed into the gap created by his attack, and he flashed a mocking, cruel smile. "Aren't you supposed to be extremely capable, Li Luo?"

Immediately after, a domineering fist flew at Li Luo like lightning.

Li Luo repeatedly activated the divine light to create layers of protection between them.

However, the fist was imbued with incredible amounts of killing intent, and Shen Yunge’s upper fifth-grade Duke pierced through all of Li Luo’s defenses unimpeded.

In the end, it struck Li Luo squarely in the chest.

Bang!

The void shattered and Li Luo was sent flying like a shooting star, heavily crashing into the ground. The entire area was pulverized by the impact.

In the outer regions, the rest of the squad members looked on with pale faces. Shen Yunge's murderous punch was so powerful that a normal third-grade Duke might have been killed instantly. If Li Luo wasn't dead yet, he wouldn't be far off! It seemed like the combined efforts of Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e weren’t enough to shake the upper fifth-grade Shen Yunge.

It was as though their hopes had been doused with a bucket of cold water. The situation was becoming incredibly disadvantageous.
