Absolute Resonance Chapter 1290: Successful Return

Chapter 1290: Successful Return

Under everyone's gazes, Jiang Qing'e floated alone. Her slender figure was garbed in the Dragon's Fang Guardians' armor which outlined her exquisite curves. Her countenance possessed an otherworldly beauty and her golden eyes were deep and abstruse, seemingly capable of sucking people into them, causing one to lose their minds before her.

As she grasped her heavy sword, one could see bloodstains on the blade's edge, giving off a fiendish atmosphere. It made her seem even more attractive as she gave off a dangerous and sharp air. The Sacred Crown of Thorns atop her head was still radiating with holy light, causing her presence to be likened to the descent of a G.o.d.

"This Jiang Qing'e is indeed extraordinary. Perhaps it's no wonder that she is considered to be unrivaled." Chu Qing sighed as he sized her up. Despite being someone with immense self control, he couldn't help but to be dazed for a moment.

Most importantly, he could sense an indescribable pressure coming from her body, arousing his fighting spirit.

She might have a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried but she was still only a first-grade Duke.

Chu Qing was an upper second-grade and had constructed two Nine-Pillar Duke Bergfrieds. This sort of foundation was something he took pride in and what allowed him to defeat third-grades.

Thus Chu Qing wanted to experience for himself just who was stronger. Would it be him or Jiang Qing'e?

Qin Yi's gorgeous eyes were also staring at Jiang Qing'e as she praised. "She truly is beautiful."

Chu Qing smiled, "It looks like the unmatched Fairy of Water of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent now has a worthy compet.i.tor."

She lightly pursed her lips as she replied helplessly. "What do you mean Fairy of Water? This is just the idle ramblings of bored individuals. There's no need to make fun of me Martial Brother."

Chu Qing continued. "With how exceptional she is, if someone told me she was a descendant of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent's Heavenly Emperor powers, I would have believed them. Instead it turns out she heralded from the Outer divine continent. This is truly unbelievable."

"The outer divine continent might be spa.r.s.e and desolate but there would be instances where truly shocking individuals would be born there. Even since ancient times, there were geniuses from the outer divine continent who managed to become Heavenly Emperors." Qin Yi mused.

"Li Luo is indeed blessed." Chu Qing sighed once again.

"Master detests Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan and thus Li Luo has also suffered because of that. In the past, I had thought that the best way for her to release her anger would be to get you, Martial Sister, to seduce him and have him firmly under your thumb. That way he would be your suitor and such a defeat would be more humiliating than beating him in a fight."

When Qin Yi heard Chu Qing's words, she furiously and coldly glared at him. "How could Martial Brother say something so depraved!"

Chu Qing bitterly smiled. "Well Master made you do it anyway. More importantly there's nothing despicable about this. An elegant lady would be pursued by gentlemen and Martial Sister is unmatched. Li Luo wanting to chase after you would only be a natural thing."

Qin Yi replied with irritation. "Li Luo's mind is resolute and although he seems friendly and amiable, he's actually cold and calculating inside. Using external beauty to move his heart is not an easy task."

"Additionally with a fiancee that has such transcendent beauty both inside and out, external looks wouldn't be of much interest to him. It is no wonder he was able to resist Martial Sister's charm." Chu Qing nodded as he continued.

Qin Yi on the other hand didn't feel like talking further with Chu Qing. Her gaze swept across Jiang Qing'e and then Li Luo before she turned around. "Let's go. Since we can't obtain the Sovereign Pearl, there's not much point for us to remain either."

Chu Qing sighed. It seemed that he would leave empty handed this time and his Master would definitely throw a tantrum over this.

That said he waved his hand and brought the Blackwater Guardians away.

His retreat caught Li Foluo's attention but he did not stop them. His main role was to escort Li Luo back safely.

Jiang Qing'e also glanced in the direction where Chu Qing and Qin Yi had departed. She had naturally sensed their gazes but she wasn't concerned. The only thing she noticed was that the lady garbed in light green was also someone who possessed extraordinary beauty and an amazing temperament.

Most importantly, she seemed to have been focused on Li Luo.

"Do you recognize her?" Jiang Qing'e asked Li Luo as she raised her head lightly.

Li Luo honestly replied. "She's the one I told you about in the past. Qin Yi, Qin Lian's daughter."

Jiang Qing'e was a little surprised. "It's no wonder why she's been called the Fairy of Water. In terms of both looks and temperament, she is indeed someone that will move other's hearts."

It was then when she gave a smile that was not a smile. "I noticed that when she was constantly observing the two of us. Could there be any stories between you?"

Li Luo helplessly replied. "You know... considering how much Qin Lian hates us, how would I dare to even mess around with her? She might be plotting something in her heart. When we were in the Spiritual Resonance Cave, I was constantly on guard against her." "You've seemed to have underestimated how charismatic you can be." Jiang Qing'e's gaze then turned towards Lu Shuanglu who was atop a mountain not too far away.

At this point, Lu Shuanglu's light laughter transmitted over. "Now that you're safe, it's time for me to take my leave, Li Luo. However, don't forget that I've only helped you out on behalf of my sister." With that, she turned to leave as tens of figures with mighty undulations of energy departed.

As Li Luo watched her departing figure, he muttered to himself in his heart. "Couldn't she just leave quietly? Why'd she have to say so much!"

With that he turned his head and seriously spoke his mind to Jiang Qing'e. "Without Lu Shuanglu's help, I would have been in a lot of trouble. It seems like there are many friends that can be found as we traverse the numerous paths of this world..."

Jiang Qing'e retorted casually, "It seems like the roads you've traveled are not few either."

Li Luo sighed as he hurriedly changed the topic. "Sister Qing'e, your complexion doesn't seem great. Are you injured?"

Although her skin was fair and flowing with holy light, he could see that her face was a little pale and it was clear that it was not an easy task to block Zhao Jiyun and the rest.

"I've just overexerted myself a little." Jiang Qing'e shook her head as she gave a slight smile. "Whereas you actually defeated Zhao Zhuoyan as well. This achievement will definitely shock the Five Guardian Armies."

"It's only because I relied on the Dragon's Fang Guardians formation. Otherwise if I were to challenge him alone, I would barely be more than a bug before him." Li Luo replied humbly.

This was the truth after all. Without the formation helping to bridge the gap in their strength, Li Luo's Greater Heavenly Resonance stage power wouldn't have been able to even shake a lower second-grade Duke.

"Alright, there's no need to act humble. Your battle achievements are sufficient for you to rise to the position of the First Grand Commander." Li Foluo's voice suddenly sounded out.

"Oh? Have I been supplanted?" Xia Yu asked. Li Luo hurriedly plastered a smile on his face. "First Grand Commander Xia Yu can rest relaxed. I'm not interested in the role of First Grand Commander. Instead I want to become the Guardian General."

Xia Yu grinned upon hearing this. "Well work hard then. I'll support you."

Li Foluo guffawed upon hearing Li Luo's big words. "You'll have to temper yourself for another two years at least if you are eyeing my role. Perhaps only Jiang Qing'e might be able to do so."

After which he waved his hand. "It's time to go. There are too many unwanted eyes watching us. We shall first return to Heavenly Dragon Peak."

The area they were in was chaotic and without rule of law. Although Li Foluo had hurried over and there was no one else remaining who desired to steal from Li Luo, there were still many vicious individuals within the World End's River Region. It would be best if they did not stay.

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e naturally did not disagree, especially Li Luo. He couldn't wait to get back and turn in the Sovereign Pearls.

Now that he had emerged from this dangerous trial, it was time to reap the rewards.

As such, the entire group began to move off, transforming into a gigantic beam of light that shot across Black Soul Peak and towards Heavenly Dragon Peak.

With their departure, Zhao Zhu also took his men to dig through the collapsed rubble, fis.h.i.+ng out a heavily injured Zhao Zhuoyan before gloomily retreating.

It seemed like the Ten Thousand Beast Guardians would become the b.u.t.t of jokes after this.
