Chapter 1074: Dragon-Elephant Divine Might

In the mountain forest, a squad from the Sky Fire Holy Academy fled for their lives.

Behind them, two squads bristling with killing intent pursued through the air, streams of fierce, vicious phase force attacks piercing the long sky, raining down to bombard them from all directions.

Deng Zhu had been assigned to the rear of the squad. At this moment, seven resplendent Tian Zhu behind him spun frantically as earthen-yellow phase force whistled out.

Boom boom!

Deng Zhu clearly possessed an earth phase, skilled in defense. As he drove his phase force, the earth at the rear of the squad trembled, and one heavy earthen wall after another rose from the ground, continuously forming defensive lines to resist the attacks of those two squads.

However, relying on his strength alone was clearly extremely strained; those earthen wall defenses were pierced through in an instant, like thin paper.

"Junior Sister Lu Ming, at this rate I won't be able to hold them off much longer!" Deng Zhu was drenched in sweat, complaining endlessly.

"Captain, hold on a little longer. This commotion isn't small, Li Luo will definitely be drawn here!" Lu Ming encouraged him, while at the same time grabbing two squadmates with both hands. A stream of Lei Ting phase force flowed over her long legs, pushing her own speed to the extreme.

She also knew Deng Zhu was in an extremely sorry state at this moment, but there was no choice—they couldn't win the fight, so they could only run and buy time.

Lu Ming had not failed to consider pretending to agree to that Chen Zhu Xuan's proposal to join forces, then stabbing him in the back when they met Li Luo, but in the end she still didn't make that choice, because that Chen Zhu Xuan didn't look stupid. Even if they truly agreed to join forces, Chen Zhu Xuan would inevitably be wary of them because the Sky Fire Holy Academy also came from the Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou, and might even plant some methods on them to restrain them. When they met Li Luo, he would simply force them to take the lead.

So rather than being restrained and timid when the time came, it was better to be straightforward about it.

In the rear half-sky, that Chen Zhu Xuan frowned as he watched the four-person squad fleeing, and said: "They want to stall for time. It seems they really did have plans to join forces with Li Luo long ago."

A cold glint flashed through Chen Zhu Xuan's eyes. His five fingers tightened around his heavy halberd, and eight resplendent Tian Zhu behind him erupted with a deafening hum as the world's energy came rolling in.

Boom!

His heavy halberd chopped down, and a hundred-zhang phase force ribbon shot out violently, directly causing a piercing sonic boom, leaving a long white airwave across the sky.

The moment Chen Zhu Xuan struck, he displayed overwhelming power. Deng Zhu's layered defenses were destroyed in an instant, and then that phase force ribbon bombarded the three people of Lu Ming at the very front.

Boom!

The ground was torn apart, and the towering trees nearby were snapped clean in half.

But Chen Zhu Xuan's expression changed slightly at this moment, because he saw that the figures of Lu Ming's three people were slowly dissipating at this time.

"Illusion?"

Chen Zhu Xuan's gaze swept sharply, and he saw the figure sprinting through the mountain forest far off to the right. His vision lingered on Lu Ming, sensing the two kinds of phase force flowing over her delicate frame.

"It's actually an Illusory Phase and a Lei Xiang—she's a dual-phase user!"

Chen Zhu Xuan was somewhat surprised, then let out a cold laugh: "Pity, she's still only a Three-Star Court. In the future, once you become a Title Student, perhaps you can shine at the Court-Level Review."

As Chen Zhu Xuan's voice fell, it was as if a gale whistled around him, and his figure directly turned into streaks of afterimages in the sky.

In just a dozen or so breaths, his figure appeared above Lu Ming like an eagle.

"Junior Sister Lu Ming, be careful!"

That Deng Zhu was greatly alarmed, hurriedly throwing a punch. Earthen-yellow phase force roared, and countless clods of earth gathered together, forming a giant fist that slammed viciously toward Chen Zhu Xuan.

However, Chen Zhu Xuan simply reversed his hand and chopped down. Azure phase force, in a posture of unmatched sharpness, sliced the giant fist apart.

At the same time, he flicked a finger, and a fierce wind blade whistled out, slashing directly toward Lu Ming.

Facing Chen Zhu Xuan's attack, a look of helplessness surfaced in Lu Ming's eyes. The gap between them was too great; there was simply no way to block it.

Whirr!

But just at this moment, a piercing sonic boom suddenly rang out from the horizon. A light arrow tore through the long sky and slammed down viciously, colliding with that wind blade.

Bang!

At the moment of impact, the wind blade shattered, but the light arrow's momentum did not stop, shooting viciously and cunningly toward Chen Zhu Xuan's face.

The sudden turn of events startled Chen Zhu Xuan, and he immediately raised the heavy halberd in his hand to meet it, clashing with the light arrow.

Boom!

The energy storm ran rampant. The hand gripping the heavy halberd trembled violently, his Hukou aching faintly, and then his expression gradually turned Solemn as he raised his head to look at the distant sky.

There, a streak of light tore through the air. That person held a dragon bow, dragon wings behind him flapped slowly, and his ash-white hair flowed with a sharp sheen under the sunlight.

It was precisely Li Luo, who had rushed over!

"Li Luo!" Lu Ming, on the other hand, felt as if a great weight had been lifted; she had finally held on until Li Luo arrived.

Li Luo waved at Lu Ming's side and smiled: "Leave this Chen Zhu Xuan to me. The rest of you, please stall them for a bit. I'll finish him off as quickly as possible and come help you."

"What big talk!"

Chen Zhu Xuan heard this and flared up, saying coldly: "You really think I'm one of those useless trash you've run into before?"

Chen Zhu Xuan was also considered a pride-of-heaven figure in their Holy Martial Academy, admired by countless junior students and junior sisters. Since this Review competition began, he had been invincible, having even defeated a Xing Tian Zhu Jing-level strong enemy before. So hearing Li Luo's words now, he inevitably grew angry.

As Chen Zhu Xuan's words fell, he did not waste any more words with Li Luo. The eight resplendent Tian Zhu behind him shone like stars, and the world's energy came rolling in.

A powerful energy pressure radiated outward; this pressure alone was far more formidable than that of an ordinary Xing Tian Zhu Jing.

Clearly, this Chen Zhu Xuan's strength had already reached the peak of the Xing Tian Zhu Jing.

No wonder he was able to defeat other Xing Tian Zhu Jing-level strong enemies.

He gripped his heavy halberd, and azure wind-phase power flowed out, forming an extremely sharp wind gang that flickered in and out at the halberd's tip.

Facing the battle-hungry Chen Zhu Xuan, Li Luo didn't hold back at all, raising his hand and firing two light arrows toward his face.

Chen Zhu Xuan saw this, let out a cold snort, and the flesh between his brows actually split open at this moment, revealing a vertical azure eye.

This was the "Erosion Wind Spirit Pearl," a single Purple-Eye treasure. But because Chen Zhu Xuan had nurtured it with his flesh and blood for many years, its power was close to that of a dual Purple-Eye treasure.

This eye could spew a special "Erosion Wind." This wind was extremely domineering and could erode many phase force attacks. If it blew into a person's body, it could even melt flesh and dissolve bone—extremely vicious and sinister. In the previous three battles, even that Xing Tian Zhu Jing-level strong enemy had been tormented into an extremely sorry state.

This was also one of the trump cards Chen Zhu Xuan relied on.

The dark-azure "Erosion Wind" whistled past, and when it collided with the light arrows, the latter quietly dissipated.

A look of surprise surfaced in Li Luo's eyes. This Chen Zhu Xuan did indeed have some tricks.

In that case...

Li Luo smiled, and with a grip of his palm, the Dragon-Elephant Blade appeared in his hand.

At the same time, within his body came the sound of Lei Ting rumbling, and the Lei Ting Furnace located at his chest trembled violently.

Thunder Body, Fivefold Thunder Roar!

Now, Li Luo had completely cultivated the Thunder Roar Body to its highest level.

Thunder rumbled within his body, and Li Luo's flesh and blood, bones were all rapidly strengthening.

Nine-Scale Heavenly Dragon Battle Physique, Nine Dragon Power!

As the dragon-shaped mark between Li Luo's brows blazed bright, a dragon's roar reverberated, and violent, extreme power raged within his body like an angry dragon howling; that explosive force made even Li Luo's breathing turn scalding hot.

Li Luo's frame seemed to swell a size larger at this moment; faint dragon scales surfaced on his skin, and an invisible, terrifying power pulsed with each breath, causing the air to burst into layer upon layer of white mist.

Li Luo gripped the hilt of the Dragon Elephant Blade tightly with five fingers; on the blade, three purple vertical-eye marks now seemed to possess life, inhaling and exhaling the energy of heaven and earth.

The blade edge slowly rose, and Li Luo gazed at this reforged Dragon Elephant Blade. The former Jin Yu Mystic Elephant Blade carried the power of the mystic elephant, and the Dragon Elephant Blade, whose grade far surpassed the old one, naturally had its own unique qualities.

For instance, this strike...

Li Luo's expression was cold and stern, and the blade in his hand suddenly slashed down.

Dragon Elephant Divine Might!
