Absolute Resonance-Novel2

Chapter 0662: Fiance Tag Team

The divine phoenix flapped its wings and soared into the air before diving towards Pei Hao, leaving a trail of fire in its wake.

Everything it touched seemed to be purified as worldly natural energy churned around it. The energy was purified and then turned into feathers that adorned the phoenix, making it seem even more majestic as it flew through the air.

The strength it contained seemed to surpass even Li Luo's Underworld River's Black Dragon Banner.

On the other hand, the subject of Jiang Qing'e's assault, Pei Hao, seemed a little dismayed, and a somber expression had crept up on his face. This art was truly capable of threatening him!

He had never expected that Jiang Qing'e would not only possess a Duke supportive secret art, but an offensive one as well!

She was only at the Heavenly Pearl Stage and yet she wielded two different Duke Arts. This wasn't a genius, this was a demonic freak of nature!

What was most troublesome was that he only possessed quasi-Duke Stage strength and was unable to bring to bear his Duke Arts. Thus, he was left without any good options to retaliate. After all, a dragon-general resonance art was incomparable to it.

"Her power comes from sacrificing her Heavenly Pearls, and thus she cannot hold on for too long. As long as I can stall for time, she will eventually become powerless," Pei Hao coldly thought as he clasped his hands together to form a series of changing hand seals.

Immediately after, majestic, golden light emanated from his body, completely covering him and quickly forming a massive, golden, unadorned bell. It was engraved with numerous patterns, glowing and revealing its absolute defensive prowess.

This was Pei Hao's strongest defensive art, known as the Golden Bell Art, a high-grade dragon-general resonance art.

Although it was only a high-grade dragon-general resonance art, it possessed terrifying might when utilized by someone at the quasi-Duke Stage.

Dong!

The divine phoenix dive bombed towards him, directly colliding with the golden bell and triggering a shrill ring. Ripples rapidly spread throughout the surface of the bell as the purifying fire continued to burn, dissolving the resonant power that it was made of.

Wave after wave of frightening energy continued to erupt.

The divine phoenix engulfed the golden bell, constantly seeking to purify and assimilate the resonant power it was constituted of.

The golden bell began to show signs of melting down, but the pace at which it happened was relatively slow. This was because Pei Hao was constantly channeling his resonant power to bolster and repair the art, using brute strength to challenge Jiang Qing'e in a war of attrition.

A nervous pair of eyes was focused on the two's struggle.

Anyone could see that Jiang Qing'e's assault was the best she could muster at this point. If this was blocked by Pei Hao, then the odds of the battle falling into his control would significantly increase.

Pei Hao's expression, on the other hand, was gradually becoming more grave. Endless amounts of metal resonance energy was pouring out of his body to alleviate the purifying flames liquefying the Golden Bell Art.

The only thing that made him feel some relief was that the golden bell was able to hold on, not completely destroyed by her technique.

"Jiang Qing'e.... you have brought me many surprises. Alas, the quasi-Duke Stage's strength is not something you can deal with.” Pei Hao cackled as he taunted Jiang Qing'e, hoping to demoralize her.

As Pei Hao's voice sounded out, he suddenly seemed to have sensed something behind him. Turning around hastily, he glanced at a corner of the square.

What he saw caused his expression to turn incomparably gloomy.

Not only him, even Jiang Qing'e, Yuan Qing, and the rest had also felt a disturbance.

What they saw shocked them. Li Luo was now emitting monstrous undulations of berserk resonant power. His body was being torn apart, barely able to contain the energy within him as row after row of bloody trails appeared on his skin, causing fresh blood to leak. In a blink, he turned into a person made of blood, looking slightly horrifying.

"He still possesses that much resonant power?" Pei Hao felt like he had been struck by a bolt of lightning, and his gaze turned somber. He had thought that Li Luo had been squeezed dry, and yet he was not emitting such raw power?

"Xu Tianling! Restrain him!" Pei Hao exhorted with all his might.

Looking at Li Luo's chilly gaze directed at him, Pei Hao knew that he was planning to join hands with Jiang Qing'e to strike at his golden bell in tandem. Unfortunately, he was now being bogged down by her and unable to shift his attention to deal with any other distractions, resulting in him having to recruit external aid.

When Xu Tianling heard the summons, he immediately shot towards Li Luo like a bullet.

Yuan Qing attempted to stop him, but Mo Cheng took action, tying him down.

Xu Tianling rapidly approached Li Luo, bursting with ice resonant power. He condensed an icy spear adorned with runes in his hand, thrusting it rapidly at Li Luo's chest.

Li Luo's face was covered in blood, but a scarlet light flashed within his eyes. This power was something he had traded ten drops of blood essence for. This was the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf's ultimate strength, squeezed out with every ounce of effort it had.

This power could not be converted by the Heavenly Libation Chant, and thus had to be willingly provided by the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf.

Li Luo shot a furtive look at the scarlet bracelet on his hand and noticed that its radiance had dimmed considerably. He could feel that the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf's aura had also weakened significantly, indicating that it had paid a hefty price to ensure that it could transmit its strength to Li Luo.

Still, this was a somewhat equal exchange. Ten drops of Li Luo's blood essence had been offered.

These were not simply drops of blood, but essence that held the power of his bloodline. With the ten drops given away, Li Luo felt an emptiness within him, and restoring it would not be a simple task.

However, this was a problem for future Li Luo... What was most important was getting rid of Pei Hao as soon as he could.

And when he was faced with the prospect of a lunging Xu Tianling? Li Luo didn't really care about such a fly. With a wave, the Golden-Jade Onyx-Elephant Blade appeared in his hand.

He hacked downwards once.action

The space before him was immediately cut apart, leaving behind a thin trail as a tyrannical blade light shot forth towards Xu Tianling.

BANG!

At the moment of impact, Xu Tianling was appalled to see his icy spear immediately burst into fragments. Boundless power transmitted through the blade light, shredding his protective resonant power into pieces and gashing him heavily across the chest.

“AH!”

A pitiful scream rang out as Xu Tianling was sent flying with a single strike, his chest bleeding profusely with his flesh and blood exposed. In fact, the wound was so deep one could almost see his beating heart.

"Ah! The strength granted from the exchange of ten drops of blood essence is impressive indeed. Much better than what the crappy Heavenly Libation Chant provided..." Li Luo dryly commented with surprise as he watched Xu Tianling get grievously injured with but a single blow. The Heavenly Libation Chant might be able to forcibly deprive the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf from some of its energy, but at the end of the day, voluntary donations were much more effective!

Only with sufficient consideration would the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf be willing to give him its all. After repelling Xu Tianling, Li Luo knew that he wouldn't have time to properly finish him off, so he turned his attention to Pei Hao.

He was still surrounded by the golden bell, forcibly resisting the purifying flames of the divine phoenix. However, the gaze he held towards Li Luo now seemed to hold a hint of worry and anger.

Li Luo's disturbance had shattered his plans.

A cold smile surfaced on Li Luo's lips. Although he could feel severe pain coming from every inch of his body, it could not dilute the happiness he felt in his heart.

He raised his hands and formed a hand seal. In a blink, the strength provided by the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf quickly weakened, and a black dragon banner appeared in his hands.

"If one Duke Art isn't enough to send you to hell. Hell... why not another one, then! Damned beast! I'll let you have a taste of House Luolan's glorious couple's tag-team strength!"

Li Luo gave a sincere smile as he swiped downwards with the black dragon banner in hand. The space before him was torn apart, exposing the void, and the sound of gushing seawater could be heard. Black seawater flowed out torrentially from the crack, and the shadow of a titanic, black dragon could be seen in the depths.

“Roar!”

As the draconic roar sounded out, the black dragon wrapped in saturnine seawater rushed forward before the countless eyes of the crowd, directly bringing to bear its colossal weight as it bashed the golden bell that surrounded Pei Hao!
