Chapter 0992: The Ruthless Cousin

As Jiang Wanyu was taken aback at Li Luo's Dragon Fang Sword manifestation, the one who was being attacked, Zhao Shenjiang, felt his heart fill with turmoil and his expression turned into one of shock.

He could similarly feel the sword energy the Dragon Fang Sword was emitting. It was incomparably pure and had reached a level that ordinary Duke Arts could never hope to achieve.

In fact, the grade of this Duke Art didn’t seem to be below the grade of the Myriad Beasts Devil God Body.

"How's that possible?! Li Luo is only at the Fiend Finisher Tier! How could he cultivate such terrifying Duke Art!?"?Zhao Shenjiang felt like a bomb had gone off in his head. He had specifically only focused on learning the Myriad Beasts Devil God Body, almost passing through death's door multiple times. He had been met with countless failures in the process. It was only through immense sacrifice that he had succeeded. How had Li Luo cultivated such a Duke Art?

However, this was not the time to think such thoughts. The light-blue Dragon Fang Sword had pierced through the void and the sword energy it possessed was infinitely sharp with indescribable cutting power. It was as though it could cleave through anything the world could throw at it.

His life-saving jade tablet had already been wasted by the Underworld Thunder Runic Arrow, so he was now short of a life-saving method.

“Roar!”

Zhao Shenjiang roared explosively, and the blood within his body started to boil, rushing towards the parts that had been transformed into beasts.

"Myriad Beasts Devil God Body: Blood Beast Art!" Blood light spilled from his body, and the souls of numerous savage beasts could be seen within it. All of them roared as they began to quickly fuse together. An instant later, blood light burst apart, revealing a titanic creature that was hundreds of feet tall.

The titanic creature’s body was blood-red in color and it continuously dripped fresh blood. Its appearance was simply chimaeric. It had a dragon's head, a tiger's body, and the tail of a python. At the same time, the body contained traces of other spirit beasts and radiated an air of savagery. Its presence seemed to have dyed the skies red.

The gigantic blood beast immediately rushed forward. With every step, the void trembled and cracked.

It collided directly with the unparalleled Water Dragon Fang Sword.

When the two attacks clashed, there was no cataclysmic explosion or boom. Instead, the Dragon Fang Sword easily sliced through the blood beast's humongous body, leaving behind a cut as smooth as glass.

The imposing demeanor of the berserk beast seemed to have been split into two, and copious amounts of fresh blood sprayed in every direction. It was almost akin to a waterfall of blood that attempted to smother the brightness of the sword's energy, but it was instantly wiped out without a trace.

The sword continued to noiselessly pierce the air, headed towards the now pale Zhao Shenjiang.

Zhao Shenjiang tightly grasped his Heavy Mountain Spear and spat out a mouthful of blood essence onto it. The spear seemed to have gained a life of its own, and blood-colored runes formed all over it.

With an angry snarl, he hurled the Heavy Mountain Spear outwards. It turned into a stream of crimson light that shook the void, directly clashing with the light blue Dragon Fang Sword.

Clang!

A metallic ringing reverberated crisply throughout the skies.

The next instant, Zhao Shenjiang retreated miserably as the Heavy Mountain Spear began to emit shrill cries when it returned to him. The Dragon Fang Sword seemed to have transformed into waves of water that washed over the spear. Wherever the waves moved past, the blood runes were forcibly erased.

However, the water waves did not stop there and soon poured over Zhao Shenjiang's arm.

“Argh!”

Zhao Shenjiang's pitiful cry rang out as his arm was chopped off at its root, fresh blood flooding the ground.

Li Luo had severed his arm, but he did not stop there. The Dragon Fang Sword, which had been weakened significantly, flickered and directly slashed towards his head like a bolt of lightning.

Now that he had taken action, he did not plan to spare his enemy’s life.

When Zhao Shenjiang saw this, he finally understood that Li Luo was out to kill, so he retreated in a mad rush.

However, the Dragon Fang Sword was even faster. Just as it was about to decapitate Zhao Shenjiang, another figure appeared before him like a ghost.

Six Heavenly Pearls appeared behind this newcomer and began to absorb huge amounts of worldly natural energy.

It was an expert from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao, and when he saw that Zhao Shenjiang was in mortal danger, he immediately stepped into help.

"Brother Zhao Song!" Zhao Shenjiang cried out in pain as his remaining arm grasped at the now severed stump in an attempt to reduce the blood loss he was experiencing. nOVe)LB.In

The one named Zhao Song nodded and glanced at the Water Dragon Fang Sword. He immediately struck out with a palm, and boundless amounts of resonant power swept forth like a celestial river, colliding with it.

Bang!

This direct confrontation caused the Water Dragon Fang Sword to shake. Uncountable motes of water splashed in every direction, directly resisting the majestic resonant power that had pressed down upon it.

About half of the energy of the Water Dragon Fang Sword had been consumed already. Facing Zhao Song's superior six-pearl strength, it was difficult to come out on top.

That single strike had shattered the Water Dragon Fang Sword, but it was not as easy as expected. Zhao Song lowered his head to look at his palm, and he noticed that he had been cut, fresh blood flowing down in rivulets.

His gaze turned gloomy. Li Luo's strange Duke Art had drawn blood from a six-pearl? The Dragon Fang Sword was truly amazing.

Killing intent surged in Zhao Song's eyes. Even he felt a hint of apprehension when faced with Li Luo's demonstrated strength.

Li Luo was only at the Fiend Finisher Tier. If he reached the three or four-pearl tier one day, wouldn't he be an actual threat to him as well? "I can't leave you alive!" Zhao Song's eyes blazed with fury. Just as he spoke, an aquamarine staff manifestation that was shrouded with tremendous amounts of poisonous energy descended from the sky, heavily striking towards his head.

The staff manifestation contained power that induced fear in everyone who saw it, him included.

He quickly sent Zhao Shenjiang flying away with a strike of his palm and immediately opened his mouth, spitting out a mottled tortoise shell. A mystical light shone outwards as the shell acted like a shield, attempting to resist the descent of the aquamarine staff manifestation.

However, at the moment of collision, Zhao Song's face showed horror as he realized that the single violet-eye treasured artifact tortoise shell had cracked almost instantly.

The aquamarine light that surrounded the staff seemed to be all-pervasive, melting the tortoise shell without delay.

A chill arose in his heart. Whoever was taking action was truly a ruthless character.

At the same time, Zhao Yan's voice could be heard from a distance. "Zhao Song! Hurry and run!"

Zhao Song's face was already pale, and he turned tail and ran without hesitation. He finally understood that the one who had taken action was the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's Li Lingjing. She was an eight-pearl, someone he could not face.

As he retreated, Zhao Song continued to activate hand seals, directly causing the turtle shield to detonate. At the moment it exploded, a single bone needle that was concealed within shot out towards Li Lingjing.

His plan was simple. He wanted to delay Li Lingjing, which would give him the opportunity to attack. With Zhao Yan's support, they could obstruct this malignant star.

However, despite all his well laid plans, Li Lingjing's cold gaze had turned even gloomier.

"It looks like the one who can't be left alive should be you!" Her tone was icy and flat. With one hand, she smashed her staff downwards whilst she stretched out her other hand to catch the bone needle.

The bone needle pierced into her flesh and even partially penetrated her bone.

However, she was unfazed by this, as though she had not even felt it. The staff manifestation shuttled past like a poisonous python and, to Zhao Song's horror, struck him straight on his head.

A dull crack?could be heard as Zhao Song's head turned into a watermelon that had been dropped from a great height. It was a grisly scene.

The world seemed to have paused momentarily as countless frightened gazes shot towards them. No one had expected Li Lingjing to be so ruthless that she was willing to sustain an injury just to kill her opponent.

And her opponent was a six-pearl expert from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao!

Yet he had been smashed to death as easily as a chicken. Silence reigned for a few moments as Zhao Yan's eyes turned bloodshot. He stared venomously at Li Lingjing before he pounced towards her and bellowed, "Li Lingjing, DIE FOR ME!"
