Absolute Resonance Chapter 0840: A Different Choice

Chapter 0840: A Different Choice

When Li Qingfeng rushed over to the Coiling Dragon Pillars, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly grew tense.

All of the Banner Leaders' expressions changed. They did not bother with Qin Yi anymore. Surging with resonant power, their feet stepped lightly onto the air and they too blasted off into the distance.

Qin Yi took no further action. She simply looked into the deepest part of the dragonbreath pool and the upcoming battle. Her beautiful gaze landed on the silhouette of Li Luo on top of the Golden Dragon Pillar.

"Li Luo, you have beaten me once, and I will not hinder you anymore. However, there are still many challenges to overcome if you want to obtain the Golden Dragon Pillar. Let's see if you have the capability to wrest it from the rest of them," Qin Yi muttered to herself.

Taking a look at the situation at hand, it was evident that Li Qingfeng would not hand over the Golden Dragon Pillar to Li Luo. Furthermore, he had already gotten the admiration of the other Banner Leaders and was seen as the head of the younger generation of the Dragon's Blood Lineage. Therefore, they would surely help him to fight for the Golden Dragon Pillar. As such, it would be a real challenge to defend that pillar even with Li Luo's power.

Whether Li Luo could continue holding onto it was undecided as of yet.

As a result, Qin Yi did not leave the venue immediately. She continued watching the depths of the dragonbreath pool with great interest, awaiting a nice show to play out.

Under her gaze, the Banner Leaders had charged straight towards the Golden Dragon Pillar at maximum speed. An ear-piercing sound rang in the air as they dashed ahead.

At this moment, Li Qingfeng's eyes were a little gloomy as he observed the gold light gradually enveloping the top of the pillar. This event was full of surprises.

Firstly, there was the outsider, Qin Yi, who had brought about unexpected changes to the battle. Her water palace had really caused them quite a bit of trouble.

Most importantly, Li Qingfeng had not expected Li Luo to escape from the water palace first and s.n.a.t.c.h the Golden Dragon Pillar.

Li Luo had really stolen the limelight.

Although he did not really know how Li Luo had managed to get out of Qin Yi's grasp, it was clear that Li Luo had performed spectacularly this time. If he still managed to obtain the Golden Dragon Pillar after all this, he would surely become the most dazzling main character of the banquet.

All the guests would remember the son of Li Taixuan.

In that case, Li Qingfeng's reputation as the most likely candidate to become the Dragon's Head in this generation of the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages would be challenged.

Thus, he had to get the Golden Dragon Pillar back at all costs.

As he pondered over all this, Li Qingfeng raised his finger, and a drop of fresh blood seeped out from his fingertip. The blood squirmed and turned into a needle that was roughly an inch long. A faint, golden light started flowing into the blood needle, then it seemed to take the form of a dragon..

"Golden Blood Dragon Shadow Needle!"

With a flick of his finger, Li Qingfeng sent the blood needle cutting through the air at an unbelievably fast speed. It flew forward with so much velocity that there even seemed to be a trail of explosions trailing behind it due to its penetrating power.

Faint bloodlight seemed to trail in the void. However, a strong blast of resonant power struck just a moment later and shattered it.

Li Qingfeng was stunned at this development. With eyes full of fury, he turned over to see where the resonant power had come from. Just a short distance behind him, he saw Lu Qingmei.

She must have been the one that had interfered.

"What's the meaning of this, Banner Leader Lu?" Li Qingfeng asked in a deep voice. He could not understand why Lu Qingmei had stopped his attack.

While she was moving at high speed with her glazed rod in hand, the strong wind blew against her body. Her perfect and exquisite curves were revealed in her tight-fitting dress.

In response to Li Qingfeng's question, she calmly replied, "Li Luo was able to escape from Qin Yi's water palace first because he is capable. In a sense, he has regained some pride for us. As such, he deserves to have a head start to obtain the golden pillar.

"Banner Leader Li Qingfeng, if you are unwilling to accept this, you can try and reach the golden pillar before the gold light fully envelopes it. However, there is no need for such methods."

At this point, Li Qingfeng was fuming with anger. He had not expected Lu Qingmei to be so willing to hand over the golden pillar to Li Luo. Perhaps she knew that she had very little chance of obtaining it even without Li Luo.

"Hongli, stop her!" Li Qingfeng shouted sternly. He could not afford to waste any more time arguing here with Lu Qingmei.

Sure enough, a ray of rainbow light came from the back. It was none other than Li Hongli.

When she heard Li Qingfeng's shout, she immediately nodded. Her resonant power erupted and a halo of resonant power flew straight towards Lu Qingmei's location.

Nonetheless, Lu Qingmei kept her composure. Her speed dropped slightly, and she waved the glazed rod. The clouds in the sky were torn apart instantly, and a domineering silhouette of a rod fell down and shattered Li Hongli's attack.

However, this short delay was enough for Li Qingfeng to disappear far into the distance.

"Guys, I am determined to get the Golden Dragon Pillar. I hope that you can give me some support and stay away from it for now!" Li Qingfeng's cold voice sounded off and reached the ears of the other Banner Leaders at this moment. The rest of them paused for a while, hesitation showing on their faces.

Based on Li Qingfeng’s wording, anyone who dared to approach the pillar would seem like they were out to help Li Luo.

Li Qingfeng was their most powerful peer. On the other hand, Li Luo was just a Banner Leader that had returned from an outer divine continent. Although his father was truly spectacular back then, it was all a matter of the past.

As such, it was not hard to see who they would side with between the two. Deng Fengxian also heard Li Qingfeng's voice at this moment, and he frowned slightly. His eyes flickered as he looked at the figure standing on top of the Golden Dragon Pillar ahead.

Initially, he was really surprised that Li Luo could reach the Golden Dragon Pillar first.

He, too, had underestimated the Third Young Master.

However, Qin Yi's own strength should not be belittled. Even though she needed to split up her power to maintain the water palace, not even Deng Fengxian himself was confident that he would break free from her in such a scenario.

Yet Li Luo had managed to pull it off.

Clearly, he had been hiding his true strength all this time.

Li Luo and the Green Nether Banner would definitely be a sensation in the Dragon's Fang Lineage after today’s battle. In fact, the Gold Light Banner would be under immense pressure from this.

Deng Fengxian kept silent for a while before he finally let out a sigh.

Regardless of the compet.i.tion and threat from Li Luo, they were still members of the same lineage. Although it would affect the Gold Light Banner's reputation if Li Luo could get the Golden Dragon Pillar, it would still be a good thing for the Dragon's Fang Lineage as a whole. Moreover, Deng Fengxian knew that he was in no position to contest for it against Li Qingfeng. In that case...

Deng Fengxian did not hesitate any further. He suddenly accelerated with all hi smight, his weird movements catching the attention of all the other Banner Leaders. They all understood that he was ignoring Li Qingfeng's warning.

Was it to help the Dragon's Fang Lineage secure the Golden Dragon Pillar?

Was Deng Fengxian not afraid of offending Li Qingfeng?

However, a silhouette closed in rapidly from the back as soon as Deng Fengxian moved. At the same time, a huge resonant power surged and locked onto him.

Deng Fengxian paused for a moment and turned around. "Li Senyan, are you going to stop me?" he said with a dark face.

The one that had closed in was Li Senyan, the Banner Leader of the Thunder Horn Banner.

This was not surprising at all. After all, the Dragon's Horn Lineage had always followed the lead of the Dragon's Blood Lineage. They were the closest to the Dragon's Blood Lineage out of the four banners. Li Qingfeng had given an order, and it was only expected that Li Senyan would follow.

With a slight smile, Li Senyan said, "Brother Deng, Li Luo will not be able to guard the Golden Dragon Pillar. Why must you offend Banner Leader Li Qingfeng?"

In response, Deng Fengxian simply shook his head. He did not talk any further, and his resonant power surged wildly. A tyrannical and ferocious force swept up and flew towards Li Senyan directly. All of a sudden, the situation in the depths of the dragonbreath pool had turned chaotic.

Li Qingfeng was not affected by what was going on behind him at all, so he moved forward without slowing down. Under the many gazes from the spectators outside, he finally reached the Golden Dragon Pillar just before the gold light fully enveloped it.
