Absolute Resonance Chapter 0869: Gilded Armor Spirit Blade

Chapter 0869: Gilded Armor Spirit Blade

As soon as Li Luo finished his sentence, murderous intent flashed across Zhao Jingyu's face. He truly detested Li Luo's tone, sounding as if the dragon fangs were no longer his.

Was Li Luo fit to say such words?

"You're just a country b.u.mpkin. How dare you speak so arrogantly!"

Zhao Jingyu's eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with killing intent at this point. He took a step forward, and his resonant power erupted, boosted by the strength of the Tiger Division standing not far away.

His body was surrounded by lightning resonance power, faintly blinking as if he was a giant lightning-tiger with four wings.

This was Zhao Jingyu's natural resonance.

Upper eighth-grade Four Winged Lightning Tiger resonance. With his own strength at the Fiend Finisher Tier, coupled with the boost from the state of Harmony with the Tiger Division, his power had reached the peak of an upper first-grade Duke.

In the next moment, a ma.s.sive, sanguine blade appeared in his hands, and he slashed downwards before him.

"Tiger Soul Slas.h.!.+"

A blade light that was thousands of feet tall materialized in the air. The blade was shrouded in a crimson glow and sounded like a ferocious tiger roaring. It exuded immense fiendish energy as the blade light flew across the field. Wherever it pa.s.sed, all the crimson trees and fiery-red leaves in the area withered as if they had been corroded by it.

The blade light traveled straight towards Li Luo full of murderous intent.

Li Luo’s eyes narrowed a little as he looked at the incoming fiendish blade-light. He had crossed moves with Zhao Jingyu earlier, but it was not until now that his opponent decided to give it his all.

Li Luo clenched his hands, and the Golden-Jade Onyx-Elephant Blade appeared in his grip. He then summoned the power of Harmony to retaliate.

However, a figure suddenly took a step forward at this moment. It was none other than Deng Fengxian. His face appeared pretty calm as he took a step out, with golden light s.h.i.+ning from his white robes. Soon, his robes turned into a suit of gilded armor, and he was suddenly holding a long, golden spear. Boosted by the power of Harmony, energy was surging within him as the air around him vibrated.

"I have long heard of the famed ferocious tiger Zhao Jingyu from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao's Tiger Division. Let me have a feel of it for myself today. Flowing Gold Art!"

The domineering energy around Deng Fengxian strengthened as he stabbed out with the golden spear in his hand. In an instant, golden light filled the air as if a giant, golden dragon with extremely sharp breath had emerged. The spear light flew through the air, leaving a really deep scar on the ground below its flight path.

In the next moment, the tiger blade-light and the golden spear-light clashed into each other. A wild storm of energy swept across the field, uprooting trees in the dense forest and reducing them to ash.

The destructive power of the Duke Stage was extremely terrifying. Zhao Jingyu sliced downwards with his crimson blade once again, sending forth multiple blade lights and shattering the energy storm. However, Deng Fengxian’s gilded armor shot golden rays of light around himself, rapidly negating the energy of the opposing blade lights. Seeing this, Zhao Jingyu icily stared at his opponent.

"I have heard of the white-dressed gilded-armored Deng Fengxian from the Dragon's Fang Lineage. However, you'll not be enough to stop me!"

At this moment, Zhao Jingyu hacked down once again with lightning speed. Thousands of fiendish blade-lights flew out of his weapon at this very moment. Moreover, these blade lights started to fuse in midair, condensing their energy together and forming a b.l.o.o.d.y tiger claw that was thousands of feet tall.

An extremely condensed fiendish energy flowed throughout the interior of the claw. It was as if an ancient, savage tiger had ripped through the void and brought its terrifying presence to bear here.

"Duke Art, Great Tiger Seal!"

Zhao Jingyu sounded like a tiger roaring when he shouted. He knew that Deng Fengxian was no weakling, so he did not hold back. This time, he had used his ultimate skill and was giving it his all.

The b.l.o.o.d.y tiger-claw descended for the skies, directly towards Deng Fengxian.

When he saw the incoming hit, Li Luo, who was not far behind Deng Fengxian, grabbed onto his blade and prepared to help out.

However, Li Fengyi stopped him and said, "Don't worry. Deng Fengxian is not useless. Even though Zhao Jingyu is strong, he's still not strong enough to knock him out in a single hit. There are still three Division Leaders staring at us, we need to guard against them."

Li Luo turned his gaze towards Zhao Jingyu's back and noticed three figures eyeing them at this moment. They were the three Division Leaders from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao, all in the state of Harmony and ready to strike at any time.

As such, Li Luo stopped in his tracks. Nonetheless, he grabbed onto his Onyx-Elephant Blade tightly.

In the same instant, Deng Fengxian raised his head and stared at the incoming tiger claw filled with fiendish energy. His face turned serious immediately, and he formed hand seals rapidly with both his hands. His gilded armor turned into strands of golden light and flew in front of him, quickly condensing together.

After nearly half his gilded armor had transformed into the strands of gold light, a small, golden blade that was about the size of a palm formed in front of Deng Fengxian.

The small knife was extremely exquisite, with a sense of endless sharpness hidden within it. Its blade was covered in extremely fine scales that were dazzling with golden light. As the light flowed through, it seemed to cause a piercing pain to anyone who looked at it directly.

"That is the Gilded Armor Spirit Blade, the Duke Art that Deng Fengxian cultivated. This art combines both offense and defense into one. Under normal circ.u.mstances, it can take the form of a suit of gilded armor to protect him. However, when he needs to attack, it can transform into a spirit blade that possesses sharpness that belies belief," Li Fengyi explained to Li Luo.

Li Luo nodded. This was indeed a versatile Duke Art, practical for both offensive and defensive purposes. Without a doubt, this must have been what allowed Deng Fengxian to rise to fame.

Weng!

As the spirit blade formed, it swam through the air like a fish in water. To everyone's surprise, it did not seek to clash with the incoming tiger claw attack. Instead, it turned into a ray of light that flew directly towards Zhao Jingyu's throat, appearing in front of him in an instant.

He had completely ignored Zhao Jingyu's attack and was planning to exchange injuries instead!

What a decisive move!

Deng Fengxian's decision was completely beyond Zhao Jingyu's expectations. As such, Zhao Jingyu's face changed immediately when he saw the golden blade flying towards him. It was extremely sharp, and if it penetrated the resonant power protecting his body, his body would not be able to withstand it.

"Hmph, the White Dressed Gilded Armor is really something."

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Jingyu let out a cold snort. However, he didn't withdraw his tiger claw for defense. Instead, he opened his mouth fiercely, and complicated runes emerged from his throat. Crimson light radiated from them.

Roar!

Terrifying shockwaves that were visible to the naked eye set off like a ravaging tiger-roar. They collided with the golden spirit-blade directly.

The spirit blade was weakened by the vibrating shockwaves. They were just like tiny fish trying to swim up a waterfall, trying so hard to move forward but ultimately not getting any closer to Zhao Jingyu.

Finally, the energy from the spirit blade was exhausted. It bounced backwards as it could no longer withstand the shockwaves any longer.

Li Fengyi's face turned cold when she witnessed this scene. "A Royal Engraving? Zhao Jingyu, you sure came prepared!"

When Li Luo heard this, he froze in his tracks. A Royal Engraving... He had received such a treasure as the prize back when he won the Holy Grail Meet. It was extremely rare in the outer divine continent. Now, he had finally seen someone using one in the inner divine continent. Using the crimson shockwaves, Zhao Jingyu had managed to deflect Deng Fengxian's surprise attack. However, Deng Fengxian still had to figure out a way to handle the incoming tiger claw attack.

Li Luo prepared to lend a helping hand once again.

"Leave this to me. You guys help me to keep watch on those other thugs in front."

At this moment, Li Jingtao gave an earnest smile as he speedily stepped forward and formed hand seals. In the next moment, worldly natural energy gathered above Deng Fengxian and manifested dragon fangs that intertwined with each other rapidly, soon weaving together into a dragon fang s.h.i.+eld.

Bang!

The tiger claw smacked down aggressively onto the dragon fang s.h.i.+eld. A shocking wave of energy swept across the field, causing the ground below to crack under pressure.

"Li Jingtao? Who do you think you are? A mere ant trying to stop my attack?" Zhao Jingyu ridiculed Li Jingtao when he saw him stepping forward. Li Jingtao had always held a low profile, so he had not roused much interest in this man.

In his eyes, Li Jingtao was simply a guy who languished amongst the bottom of the Twenty Banners of the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages.

However, just as his mocking laughter came out, he witnessed a surprising scene. Although the s.h.i.+eld was shuddering endlessly under the suppressive force of the tiger claw, it showed no signs of shattering. It simply stood there like a rock unabated in the midst of cras.h.i.+ng ocean waves. No matter how aggressively the waves struck it, it would not give way.

After a few moments, the tiger claw's energy was depleted and it faded away.

There were many scratches on the s.h.i.+eld, but it displayed no signs of breaking. Soon, the scratches turned into light glows and fell off the s.h.i.+eld.

Zhao Jingyu stared at this with disbelief. He was dumbfounded for a moment before he turned his attention over to Li Jingtao, who stood there harmlessly with a silly smile on his face.

This b.a.s.t.a.r.d had been faking it! This fellow was playing the pig to eat the tiger!
