Chapter 0875: Shadow Worm Smoke

The black mist covered the sky and swallowed up Li Luo and the rest.

Without any hesitation, Li Luo summoned up his energy to blow it away, but it was totally ineffective despite the resonant power boost from Harmony. His energy pulses seemed to have been swallowed up by the endless sea of black mist.

Upon closer look, it was then that they finally noticed it. There were actually countless little things wriggling in the black mist, enough to make one's scalp crawl.

It seemed like the mist was formed by these innumerable black worms that were as tiny as dust. The naked eye could hardly detect them if not for the fact that they had gathered together.

At this moment, Li Luo turned over to Li Fengyi and the rest. However, he realized that they were no longer by his side. It was as if different dimensions had formed to isolate them. Indeed, this black mist was truly odd.

Li Luo's face turned serious. The Soul Eater True Devil was far beyond the first-grade True Devils that he had encountered so far. Moreover, it was highly intelligent, enough to separate them so that they could not join forces against it.

"This is going to be quite troublesome," Li Luo muttered to himself as he tightly grasped the Golden-Jade Onyx-Elephant Blade. Based on his estimate, the Soul Eater True Devil surely exceeded a second-grade True Devil Other. Facing such a formidable opponent, he was weaker even with the aid of the Green Nether Banner's Harmony.

However, he still had some tricks up his sleeve.

He could borrow the power of the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf. However, the wolf was only about as powerful as a first-grade Duke, so it might still be slightly weaker than the Soul Eater True Devil. In that case, he still had another ace—the kingmark hidden in the Onyx-Elephant Blade. It was left behind by Principal Pang, and its energy should not have been totally depleted. If he utilized both the power of the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf and the kingmark, it should be enough to pose a threat to the Soul Eater True Devil. The caveat was that he could only use this once. He would need to find an opportunity that could let him severely injure or even kill the True Devil. Otherwise, he might really lose his life today.

Li Luo's heart was filled with a sense of danger as his body tightened up like a wild beast preparing for its strike. He stared intently at the black mist that surrounded him.

His heightened state of alert lasted for a few moments before he sensed something weird happening. In front of him, the black mist gradually opened up a path, and Li Lingjing appeared.

As usual, she was smiling brightly at him. However, Li Luo could tell that there was no happiness coming from her smile. Instead, it was an eerie and chilling smile.

Li Luo immediately understood that he had been targeted by the Soul Eater True Devil.

Slowly, Li Lingjing walked over and stopped about ten meters away from him. Her eyes lit up as she watched him curiously. Following this, she took a few deep breaths as if she was intoxicated.

"What a nice smell," she said with a smile.

However, Li Luo simply stared at her coldly without replying.

"You must be really delicious." Li Lingjing stuck out her tender, pink tongue and licked her red lips in a seductive manner. This sent a chill up Li Luo's spine.

"Zhao Jingyu is pretty talented too. You can try him as an appetizer first," Li Luo suggested.

Hearing this, Li Lingjing frowned and replied, "He's passable. If you were not around, I may have eaten him. But now... I have no interest in him. You must understand that I am very picky with my food. Over the years, the only person that has left me satisfied is just this body." She pointed to her own body. With a faint smile, she continued, "But I can sense that you're even better than her."

At this moment, Li Luo's eyes twitched a little. He understood that she must have been referring to Li Lingjing.

Li Luo was not pleased with such recognition at all. Rather, he wanted to just give her a piece of his mind.

Li Luo took a deep breath and asked, "I'm a little speechless. You really won't consider changing your choice to Zhao Jingyu?"

"No way," Li Lingjing replied with a grin.

Next, she opened her red lips, and thick, black smoke wafted out. The smoke gradually formed a cloud, countless black worms that were as tiny as dust particles crawling inside it.

The smoke reached out for Li Luo like a tentacle.action

"It'll be much better if you do not resist," she warned him kindly.

Of course, Li Luo would not simply listen to her. When he saw the Shadow Worm Smoke drifting over, his energy surged and he casted a Nine Revolutions Art immediately.

"Heavenly Dragon Resonance Enlightenment!"

A giant dragon manifestation emerged and wrapped around Li Luo. It emitted a mysterious dragonfear that slowed down the pace of the Shadow Worm Smoke instantly. As if it was deterred, the smoke did not dare to come any closer.

"Hehe."

Seeing this, Li Lingjing bit the tip of her own tongue, and pitch-black blood spilled out. It seemed as though every rivulet was filled with the horrified faces of people crying in pain. The blood droplets then landed on the black smoke.

In the next moment, the strange, tiny worms that were as small as dust particles started to act up as they devoured the fresh blood wildly. Soon, their tiny bodies started to glow with dark-red light.

Once again, the Shadow Worm Smoke surged directly towards Li Luo, no longer frightened by the dragonfear from the Heavenly Dragon Resonance Enlightenment.

When the two came into contact, Li Luo could sense the immense energy from the Nine Revolutions Art being eroded at a surprising speed.

It was as if the strange worms had the power to decay.

Li Luo narrowed his eyes immediately. The Soul Eater True Devil was truly scary. Not even the Heavenly Dragon Resonance Enlightenment could guard against it. At this rate, his defense would dissipate completely in mere moments.

An indescribable sense of crisis welled up in his heart.

The energy he felt from Harmony was also slowly diminishing, as if it was being eroded by the black smoke too.

Once again, Li Luo felt the limitations of Harmony. When his connection with the Green Nether Banner got disrupted, the energy he had would be restricted as well.

Li Luo’s eyes lit up, and he lightly tapped the crimson bracelet on his wrist. Once the energy from Harmony was weakened considerably, he would need to borrow the power of the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf and the kingmark to give the Soul Eater True Devil a critical strike.

He would only have one chance to do so.

Hence, he needed to find the perfect opportunity. The Soul Eater True Devil would only let its guard down when his Harmony power weakened considerably. That would be his best chance.

When Li Luo touched the bracelet, a deep, low howl could be heard in his heart.

Hearing the ferocious howl, Li Luo felt a strange sense of assurance in his heart. After all, the aggressive and wild Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf was much closer to him than the Soul Eater True Devil.

"Little Three, it all depends on you. If we survive this, I won't treat you badly in the future," Li Luo thought to himself.

In this short span of time, the Heavenly Dragon Resonance Enlightenment had been completely broken down by the black smoke. In the next moment, strands of it reached out towards Li Luo like tentacles.

At the same time, the Harmony energy flowing around him continued to weaken.

After a long moment, the energy from Harmony finally reached its limit and dwindled away.

Seeing this, the fake Li Lingjing stepped forward with her long, slender legs and started walking towards him, a bright and charming smile on her fair and beautiful face.
