Chapter 1259: Parent-Child Blood Fusion Lamp

Dark-red oil lamps had appeared in the hands of Li Yuanshan and Li Qingbai, one lamp being larger than the other. They were engraved with crimson runes, their light flickering.

Li Yuanshan was holding the larger lamp, while Li Qingbai held onto the smaller one.

As soon as the lamps appeared, Li Qingbai took two steps back. He then bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. The droplets of blood landed on the oil lamp.

All of a sudden, his face turned a lot paler.

At the same time, the lamp's wick was ignited by the blood.

Lines of blood wriggled like worms and extended out from the flame of the lamp, directly tunneling into Li Qingbai's hand.

It seemed like the lines of blood were extracting even more blood from Li Qingbai. The flame on the oil lamp began to burn with renewed intensity.

At the same time, the oil lamp in Li Yuanshan's hands lit up without any fuel. Lines of blood also extended from it and pierced into his palm.

However, Li Yuanshan appeared to be getting more energetic, unlike Li Qingbai. The pulses of resonant power coming out of his body steadily grew stronger.

A large boom echoed in the air above, coming from the three Duke Bergfrieds above his head. Like a black hole, they began to suck in all the worldly natural energy within thousands of miles.

This caused many of the spectators to exclaim in surprise.

Many of the Dragon's Fang Guardians were shocked to see this too. Luo Jiang, the Left Dragon Fang Envoy, inadvertently muttered, "This is..."

Li Foluo's face fell. "That’s the Parent-Child Blood Fusion Lamp, a lower-grade Duke Mythic Armament. It has to be paired with a complementary secret art to function. Using the child's lamp as an energy source, it'll serve to bolster the holder of the parent lamp. It’s no wonder they wanted to fight a team battle. This was the ace hidden up their sleeves."

Li Qingbai and Li Yuanshan brandished their trump card as soon as they realized they were unable to bring down Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e individually.

It wasn't really rare to see someone use it, but this was usually kept as a last resort against external foes. This was because of the huge cost it would inflict upon the user of the child lamp. It seemed like Li Zhihuo had really gone all-out to ensure they would emerge victorious.

"Damn it. They already had a big advantage in cultivation levels and yet they're still resorting to such moves. They're really shameless," Li Fengyi said angrily.

"The stakes of the bet are very high. Li Zhihuo must have felt the heat," Li Jingtao replied.

"This means that they're determined to chase Hongyou out of the Dragon's Fang Guardians," Li Fuling commented in annoyance.

Nonetheless, they all understood that no amount of complaints would change anything. Although the method used by Li Yuanshan and Li Qingbai was a little controversial, the outcome of the battle was the only thing of importance.

Although Li Jiluo was from the Dragon's Blood Lineage, this was considered high praise.

At this point, Li Jingzhe couldn't help but feel a little regret in his heart. If Taixuan had not left the Dragon's Fang Lineage, he would have been able to keep Li Jiluo in check.

While they were talking, the resonant power from Li Yuanshan had grown more and more terrifying. A brilliant outburst of light radiated from the three Duke Bergfrieds above his head; it shone so brightly that it seemed like there were three big suns above him.

It seemed like he was approaching the strength of a fourth-grade Duke at this point. It was so dazzling that even the Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried from Jiang Qing'e had been overshadowed.

After all, a single Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried was only capable of resisting a third-grade Duke.

Li Luo raised his head and looked at the terrifying Duke Bergfrieds, frowning. "They really came prepared."

Fortunately, he had prepared himself amply as well.

He turned his head and smiled at Jiang Qing'e. "Sister Qing'e, do you have the item?"

Jiang Qing'e nodded. She stretched out her hand, and a drop of fresh blood could be seen in the middle of her palm. "This is the drop of blood that I obtained from Li Yuanshan earlier."

Her golden pupils locked onto Li Luo. She hesitated for a moment before she asked, "Are you going to use the Dragon Blood Affliction Art to hamper Li Yuanshan's power-up? It is indeed wondrous, but he is at a much higher cultivation level than you. You'll likely be susceptible to an immense backlash if it fails."

Li Luo smiled in response. "If we were fighting outsider Dukes, I wouldn't have dared to use this. However, I think it's worth a try since our opponents are from the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages. After all... whose fault is it that the Dragon's Blood Lineage developed such an insidious art for internal challenges?"

They had developed many Duke Arts that would use the purity of their blood to suppress the other four lineages. As such, they had always stood head and shoulders above the rest in any internal competition as their emphasis had always been on the strength of their blood.

Hence, they had created the likes of the Dragon's Blood Judgment Art, the Dragon Blood Affliction Art, and so forth.

Additionally, experiencing Li Qingfeng's Dragon's Blood Judgment Art allowed Li Luo to understand that the purity of his Heavenly Dragon Blood was far superior to most elites in the Dragon's Blood Lineage. He definitely had the capability to use their art against them.

"Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, I still have other methods," Jiang Qing'e said softly.

Li Luo reached out and retrieved the drop of blood from Jiang Qing'e. He then took a glance at Li Yuanshan with redeemed interest.

Since they were using a secret art to boost their strength...

Who would come out victorious?

Would he manage to weaken them more, or would their combined bolstering effects be superior?
