Chapter 0509: Tyranness Jiang Qing'e

Chapter 0509: Tyranness Jiang Qing'e

The light resonant energy blazed out across the sky, imbued with a holy aura that sent any darkness fleeing.

Light resonant energy had a powerful purging effect.

It purged everything without discrimination.

Boom!

The energy blazed across the sky like a pillar of light, and it was met with four other strong attacks.

The ringing clash of energy shook the earth.

The man-made, localized earthquake caused many of the smaller surrounding mountains to crumble.

The destructive fallout of their battle far exceeded that of Li Luo and Jing Taixu's fight.

Lu Jinci's four haplessly looked at the horizon. It felt like they were fighting the sun itself—overwhelming power in another dimension. They could barely look at it without hurting themselves.

A ninth-grade light resonance was truly a different beast.

The four of them were elites at the Earth Fiend Stage, and still they were being steamrolled.

By the bulldozer that was Jiang Qing'e's light resonant energy.

Of course, all their schools had dug deep for any and all information on Jiang Qing'e, including her performance at the ticket match against Zhao Huiyin. Although she had done well there, it was nothing compared to the power that she was showing here.

Jiang Qing'e had hidden her true strength well.

It was just as the intelligence had concluded—Jiang Qing'e had never once had to show the limits of her power before... because no one could push her that far.

Lu Jinci readjusted the golden rectangular blade in his hand and gritted his teeth. "You three stall her! I have a secret weapon that might just work!"

The other three hesitated for a moment, but they nodded soon enough. In this situation, any help was welcome. If Lu Jinci had a miracle up his sleeve, they were all saved.

Thinking thus, all three doubled their efforts to keep the light resonant energy at bay.

Lu Jinci retreated quickly, his hands moving in a blur through a process of fixed gestures. Then a malevolent red seal rose into the air.

Finally, a wrinkle in the flow of energy. Up till now, energy had relentlessly flowed straight to Jiang Qing'e from all around them, but the seal was now taking energy away from it.

The other three were amazed at the blood seal's power.

Jiang Qing'e sensed it as well. "Dragon-general resonance art." Her clear voice rang out. "World of Light."

Swoosh!

The light filled every corner of the world with a flash of light and an echoing dragon roar.

Lu Jinci and the others looked around blankly.

All the worldly natural energy around them had been converted into light energy.

This meant it would be very difficult for their resonances to absorb any energy.

It was a terrible handicap.

"What a resonance art. It must be a mid-tier dragon-general resonance art, enhanced by her ninth-grade light spirit avatar so that it's as strong as a high-tier dragon-general resonance art.”

Dragon-general resonance arts were the strongest General Stage resonance arts. One could start to really access these at the Earth Fiend Stage, although only low-tier ones. The higher, more advanced ones were far more demanding in terms of cultivation skill and the amount of resonant power needed to support them.

The ones fighting were elites at the Earth Fiend Tier, so they naturally had one or two mid-tier dragon-general resonance arts as their trump cards, but now Jiang Qing'e had pulled out something way stronger.

Ninth-grade light resonance. It would make a Buddha greedy. "Watch out, she's going to attack!" Lu Jinci yelled.

Her opponents successfully nerfed, it was time for her to go on the offense.

Three comets of fiery light descended from the sky.

Columns of light filled with purifying fire. Once hit, the unfortunate victim's resonant power would be completely purged away.

Afraid of that outcome, all three students turned their full strength to their own defenses.

Weng!

A blade thrust out from between the pillars of light. It was a golden sword that almost blended in with the ambient light—Jiang Qing'e's sword.

She was coming for him! Lu Jinci felt a cold shiver of realization. "Green Abyss Parry!" He summoned his strongest defense a moment before the golden light washed over him.

It was like a blade of grass in the full glory of the morning sun. He stood no chance.

Clang!

His golden rectangular sword was blasted out of his hands and sent sailing through the air.

Lu Jinci's hands were bare and numb, and he clenched them in fear and desperation. Jiang Qing'e was close to a Heavenly Dipper General in terms of fighting strength, right?

That was way too strong!

Swish!

With an elegant flip, Jiang Qing'e was balancing on her blade, and it shot forward at him, freezing a hair's breadth away from his throat.

Lu Jinci's eyes bulged as he resisted the urge to swallow his saliva. The swell of his Adam's apple might well get his throat cut. He looked up into the eyes of his attacker.

"So it was you all who spread the rumors?" Jiang Qing'e asked, her icy gaze boring down on him.

He felt her killing intent rise, and his fingers curled nervously in response.

"Fuck that bastard Jing Taixu. He's going to get me killed!" Lu Jinci thought to himself. Jiang Qing'e clearly did not take kindly to rumors being spread. That was why he had become target number one.

"Jiang Qing'e, I know you're very strong, but do you dare to accept one attack from me?!" Lu Jinci said through gritted teeth.

He scrambled for the blood talisman.

It was clearly his strongest move.

Jiang Qing'e did not so much as bat an eyelid at his taunts. She simply pressed her palm forward.

As her hand moved, a mountain of light appeared.

Dragon-general resonance art, Bright Mountain!

Boom!

When the other three students finished dealing with the fiery comets, they turned only to see the mountain landing on Lu Jinci's head.

A frightful spray of blood spurted as his skull cracked.

She was not finished. Jiang Qing'e raised her hand again, creating two more fiery nails made out of pure light.

Dragon-general resonance art, Demonbane Nails.

They buried themselves deep in Lu Jinci's palms with sickening squelches, pinning him to the ground.

The bright fires burned at him, and Lu Jinci's screams were terrible to behold.

The other three students trembled.

This was only a students' competition, not some life or death fight. Had Jiang Qing'e... gone too far?
