Chapter 1123: The Harvester

"Seven Evil Xiaos."

Li Luo gazed at the strange figure coiled and sprawled across the street ahead in a twisted posture; his eyes narrowed slightly. Judging by their size, these Evil Xiaos could not be counted as Great Evil Xiaos.

However, seven Evil Xiaos were equivalent to seven Xiao Tian Xiang Jing cultivators.

The Xiang Li within Li Luo's body surged at this moment, transforming into six brilliant Tian Zhu that floated behind him.

Strictly speaking, it was six and a half stars.

Because beyond that sixth Tian Zhu, a light spot was constantly rotating and compressing, yet it was clearly still lacking some foundation to truly take shape.

"Only one step away from the Seven-Star Tian Zhu," Li Luo sensed. He had never let up on his cultivation these past days, and this seventh Tian Zhu was getting closer and closer.

In fact, if Li Luo had refined and absorbed the "Tian Chi Dan" he obtained a few days ago, forming the seventh Tian Zhu should not have been difficult, but he did not do so; instead, he intended to wait for a better opportunity.

"My strength is still not strong enough."

Li Luo stared at the seven Evil Xiaos emitting surging waves of malevolent intent and sighed lightly. If he had encountered them alone, he was afraid that relying on his own power, he would truly have no choice but to retreat.

There was no way; who could blame this mission's difficulty level being truly a bit high?

"Let me handle it." Li Hongyou stepped forward. Her skin was snow-white, but as she circulated her Xiang Li, a rosy hue seeped out from beneath the pale white, while a faint fragrance emanated, making her look like a walking miraculous Zhu Guo, causing one to involuntarily feel a drooling desire to take a bite of her.

At the same time, Li Hongyou extended her jade hand, and a crimson ribbon flowing with mysterious light emerged from her sleeve like a red snake, coiling around her body.

As the crimson ribbon flowed, carrying surging energy, it vibrated lightly, creating a piercing sonic boom.

Clearly, this crimson ribbon was Li Hongyou's treasure.

Li Luo, with his sharp eyes, spotted a purple eye mark on that crimson ribbon.

This was merely a single purple-eyed treasure; for Li Hongyou, a talented disciple of the Tenth Seat at Tianxing Academy, this appeared somewhat shabby.

Li Hongyou noticed Li Luo's gaze and said somewhat embarrassedly: "I used all my resources for cultivation, and my Xiang Li attribute is not good for fighting, so I didn't prepare a better treasure."

Li Luo felt a sigh in his heart. Although Li Hongyou's father was a high-ranking member of the Dragon Blood Lineage, she had left home since childhood and did not enjoy many of the resources this identity brought. Her mother raised her alone, and perhaps sending her to Tianyuan Ancient Academy was already the utmost effort they could make. Therefore, in terms of cultivation conditions, Li Hongyou was presumably quite tight on resources.

Compared to her, Li Luo, who possessed two three-purple-eyed treasures, would surely crush his peers of the same level among the talented disciples.

Even when the Luo Lan Manor was in turmoil and his parents went missing, Jiang Jiang Qinge did her best to ensure Li Luo had the best cultivation resources. Not to mention that after coming to the Dragon Fang Pulse, he advanced from the young master of the Luo Lan Manor to the Third Young Master of the Dragon Fang Pulse; various top-tier cultivation resources, Marquis-Sealing Arts, Spirit Water Miraculous Light, and treasures were never lacking.

Sigh, this damn innate identity brings absolutely no thrill of hard work and struggle.

"When we get to the Dragon Fang Guard, I'll find a way to get you a three-purple-eyed treasure," Li Luo said with grand assurance. Li Hongyou's special Xiang attribute alone was enough for him to invest in recruiting her. Once they entered the Dragon Fang Guard in the future, she would be his capable general, so naturally, he could not treat her poorly.

Li Hongyou said softly: "As long as you help me create an opportunity to fulfill my wish, I don't really care about the treasure."

Her so-called wish was nothing more than to slap Li Hongque on behalf of her mother. Perhaps others would find this childish, but for Li Hongyou, she was willing to pay any price for it.

Because that was the promise she made at her mother's grave, and the motivation that supported her to walk on alone.

"Trust me, there will definitely be an opportunity," Li Luo smiled. The conflict and competition between the Dragon Fang Guard and the Dragon Blood Guard were even more intense than within the Twenty Flags. After all, the Twenty Flags might only count as low-end, but the Five Heavenly Dragon Guards were the true backbone of the Li Li Tianwang lineage. True Marquis-Sealing experts would emerge from here, and for these resources, the competition within the Five Heavenly Dragon Guards was beyond imagination.

Li Hongyou nodded slightly, her gaze turning toward the seven Evil Xiaos on the opposite side that had begun to stir restlessly.

Then, surging and powerful crimson Xiang Li shot into the sky, transforming above her head into a massive "Tian Xiang Map." Within that scroll, a Zhu Guo light shadow seemed to appear, drawing in the energy of heaven and earth.

Hiss!

The seven Evil Xiaos shot forward in a bizarre posture. The viscous malevolent intent erupted with countless strange, low whispers, eroding the mind.

"Although I am not good at attacking, I do know how to suppress others with force," Li Hongyou said, gazing at the seven Evil Xiaos shooting toward her. Her eyes were calm, and her jade finger pointed out. The crimson ribbon shot out like a red snake, instantly transforming into seven crimson lights that collided with the Evil Xiaos.

Bang!

Violent waves raged outward. Although Li Hongyou faced seven opponents, she still directly knocked the seven Evil Xiaos flying in this clash.

Afterwards, the seven crimson lights continuously attacked the seven Evil Xiaos, whipping them into a panicked retreat in all directions.

Clearly, even if Li Hongyou was not skilled in attacking, relying on her Da Tian Xiang Jing strength, she could still suppress the seven Evil Xiaos.

However, as time passed, Li Luo also discovered a problem.

That was, although Li Hongyou could suppress these seven Evil Xiaos, it was difficult to kill them quickly; she could only adopt the least efficient method, grinding them to death bit by bit using her Xiang Li.

But doing so would cause Li Hongyou's Xiang Li to be consumed rapidly.

And right now, they had not yet reached the "Soul-Summoning Altar." If Li Hongyou consumed too much Xiang Li without other "energy packs" to replenish it, that would not be good news for them.

"The Xiang Li attack attribute is just too weak," Li Luo muttered to himself. If it were him with such surging and powerful Xiang Li, a single crush of his dual Xiang forces would instantly kill these Evil Xiaos.

It seemed he needed to lend a hand.

However, with the seven Evil Xiaos mixed together, he could not simply charge forward with his blade, or he would only make Li Hongyou feel restricted.

Li Luo pondered slightly, then suddenly sheathed the Dragon Elephant Blade. His figure moved, landing on the roof of a house on either side of the street. He clenched his palm, and the massive Tianlong Zhuri Bow appeared in his hand.

Although his Xiang Li level was far inferior to Li Hongyou's, if it was purely about killing power against non-humans, Li Hongyou might not necessarily be stronger than him.

The dragon-shaped mark on Li Luo's brow radiated light.

Nine-Scale Heavenly Dragon Battle Body, activate!

Accompanied by the sound of the bowstring being drawn, Li Luo pulled the bowstring fully taut.

Then Li Luo mobilized the Xiang Li within his body and poured it into the mysterious golden wheel.

Xiang Li transformation! Light Xiang Li!

In the next instant, extremely brilliant and dazzling Light Xiang Li erupted from Li Luo's body, then condensed on the bowstring into a light arrow.

This arrow was like a streak of flowing light, with endless light flowing, emitting an extremely pure sacred and purification aura.

As the arrow emerged, even the malevolent intent filling the surroundings was cleansed.

The seven Evil Xiaos suppressed by Li Hongyou also sensed a fatal crisis. Immediately, the "Evil" character on their faces became extremely grotesque, and then they twisted strange traces in the void, launching a surprise attack on Li Luo behind them.

Seeing this, seven huge crimson smoke pillars descended from the massive "Tian Xiang Map" above Li Hongyou's head, directly locking the seven Evil Xiaos within, unable to move even an inch.

"Although killing you is a bit laborious, you shouldn't treat me as if I don't exist, right?" Li Hongyou muttered.

"Senior Sister Hongyou, well done."

Li Luo praised with a smile, then his eyes suddenly became sharp. His fingers released the bowstring. In the next instant, the arrow containing surging Light Xiang Li slashed through the void and directly struck the face of one Evil Xiao.

Boom!

The Light Xiang Li bloomed like stars, and that Evil Xiao was instantly melted away completely.

The strength of this Evil Shadow was comparable to a True Seal tier. Under normal circumstances, if Li Luo wanted to slay it, even in a one-on-one fight, it would likely have taken some effort. But now the Evil Shadow was suppressed like a target, and by borrowing the Light Phase power to strike straight at its vital point, the killing effect was unexpectedly swift.

Seeing that one strike had worked, Li Luo immediately kept vibrating the bowstring, shooting out one radiant Light Arrow after another.

Boom! Boom!

After the seventh Light Arrow was fired, Li Luo finally loosened his somewhat trembling fingers. He gazed at the empty street ahead; even the Evil Qi that had originally filled the air was purified clean in an instant.

A feeling of exhilarating satisfaction rose in Li Luo's heart. Among these seven Evil Shadows, three were True Seal tier and four were Void Seal tier, yet in the end none of them could withstand even one of his arrows.

Under Li Hongyou's suppression, these Evil Shadows were simply livestock waiting to be slaughtered.

Li Luo suddenly felt the "Ancient Spirit Leaf" on the back of his hand tremble. With a thought, he sensed a stream of information transmitted into his heart.

"Slaying seven Evil Shadows, record seven Grade-B merits."

Li Luo's eyebrows rose. Along the way here, he had accumulated a scattered total of three Grade-B merits, and now adding these seven, that made ten!

And ten Grade-B merits can be exchanged for one Grade-A.

In other words, now he had finally managed to snag one Grade-A merit.

Such a harvest made Li Luo's eyes light up uncontrollably. With this "Light Arrow" suppressing aberrations so effectively, he was practically a walking Evil Shadow harvester!

Li Hongyou was not skilled in offensive killing, but Li Luo could perfectly compensate for that shortcoming of hers, so the cooperation between the two was simply seamless!
