Chapter 1200: Dragon Fang Guard

When the Five-Tailed Heavenly Wolf within the bracelet was startled awake by Li Luo, it was still a bit groggy—it had only recently helped Li Luo fight a high-end battle against a Third Rank True Demon, so it had been resting all this time.

Being woken up again now, the Five-Tailed Heavenly Wolf couldn't help but feel irritated, and a low growl rumbled out: "Brat, are you ever going to stop?! You're merely at the Da Tian Xiang Jing realm—why do you keep stirring up trouble?!"

"What powerful enemy have you run into this time?"

Li Luo's laughter came through: "It's nothing impressive, just a Sixth Rank Marquis-Grade Strong."

"Sixth Rank Marquis?!" The Five-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's roar made the crimson bracelet tremble incessantly. It couldn't help but rise from its crouching posture, sensing the outside, and immediately detected the Sixth Rank Marquis-Grade Strong unleashing a heaven-shaking offensive to suppress them.

Instantly, the Five-Tailed Heavenly Wolf couldn't stop its fur from bristling, and it roared furiously: "Brat, you're being far too arrogant! A Da Tian Xiang Jing cultivator provoking True Demons was one thing, but now you want to fight a Sixth Rank Marquis-Grade Strong? Have you lost your mind?!"

Li Luo explained: "I can't help it either. I didn't go looking for him—he came to intercept and kill me!"

The Five-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's roar shook the heavens: "I'm only at the strength of a Second Rank Marquis right now. What am I supposed to use to fight a Sixth Rank Marquis to the death? If you want to throw your life away, at least release me first!"

The Five-Tailed Heavenly Wolf was truly exhausted. Ever since it had been locked by Li Luo's side, it had no idea how many high-end battles it had helped him fight, and the demands kept escalating—now it was even being asked to take on a Sixth Rank Marquis-Grade Strong!

If it had that kind of strength, would it still be playing along with you?

Li Luo also felt a bit awkward. It seemed he had asked a little too much of the Five-Tailed Heavenly Wolf, but they were all grasshoppers on the same rope—if something happened to him, the Five-Tailed Heavenly Wolf wouldn't survive either.

"I can't handle a Sixth Rank Marquis!"

"Figure something out yourself!" The Five-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's nearly self-destructive roar came through.

Upon hearing this, Li Luo immediately sighed and said: "I always thought that after all these years, our bond had long since transcended the boundaries of race."

The Five-Tailed Heavenly Wolf sneered inwardly. What bond with you, brat? You don't believe me? Try letting me out and see—who do you think I'll bite first?

Li Luo's voice continued: "Actually, my original plan was to wait until I advanced to Marquis, then ask my grandfather to free you from this sealed state. Coming to the Boundary River Domain this time was also partly to seek opportunities for you. Although spirit beasts don't need to forge a Marquis Platform, some special Foundation Establishment spiritual treasures would still greatly benefit you."

The Five-Tailed Heavenly Wolf was silent for several breaths, then said with some suspicion: "Would you really be that kind, brat?"

"Wolf Bro, you've been with me for years now. Don't you know how I treat the people around me?" Li Luo said with a smile.

The Five-Tailed Heavenly Wolf didn't refute this. After all, it had been following Li Luo closely, so it naturally knew his temperament. Moreover, through years of accumulated contact, it understood even more clearly Li Luo's talent and the potential he held. In the future, his achievements would likely not fall short of his fiancée's. As long as he didn't die young, the path of the Unparalleled might not be beyond his reach.

An Unparalleled Marquis—that would truly be a peak-level powerhouse of heaven and earth.

With this kind of relationship, it might even be able to leverage it to return to the Heavenly Wolf Clan in the future.

After all, Li Luo still carried the identity of the Li Li Tianwang bloodline, and the Li Li Tianwang bloodline had extremely deep ties with the Dragon Race.

This brat Li Luo was indeed quite promising.

Besides, it had already been with Li Luo for several years. The sunk cost was too great—giving up now would mean everything invested would be completely wasted.

Thinking this way, the Five-Tailed Heavenly Wolf could only sigh helplessly in its heart.

Judging by the escalating rate at which Li Luo provoked powerful enemies, it seriously suspected it might not live long enough to witness Li Luo's rise.

This time it was a Sixth Rank Marquis. Next time it was woken up, it might be greeted by the slap of a King-level powerhouse—just like in that Spiritual Resonance Cave Heaven.

At the thought of that scene, every hair on the Five-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's body stood on end involuntarily.

Although it was thinking this way, its power was nevertheless rising involuntarily, finally surging into Li Luo's body like a tide.

"Wolf Bro, you're a real one."

Li Luo sighed in admiration. Although the Five-Tailed Heavenly Wolf complained a lot, at critical moments it could still be relied upon.

And while Li Luo was negotiating with the Five-Tailed Heavenly Wolf, Jiang Jiang Qinge had already struck first. One could see the "Ten-Pillar Golden Platform" above her head erupt with brilliant radiance, like a great sun rising into the sky.

The light resonance force between heaven and earth surged in, illuminating this stretch of sky with unusual brightness.

Jiang Jiang Qinge's gaze was icy. The Marquis Art she had long prepared was now unleashed. A massive holy light sword slowly rose from the Marquis Platform. The sword was as pure as glazed crystal, inlaid with seven dazzling gems that flowed with sacred fluctuations.

The moment this glazed light sword appeared, boundless, overwhelming holy sword Qi whistled forth, as if to purify all the impurities between heaven and earth.

Seven Treasures Glazed Light Sword!

This Marquis Art that Jiang Jiang Qinge had unleashed this time, whether in momentum or might, far surpassed the one from Xiao Chen Heaven.

After all, she was now a First Rank Marquis who had forged a Ten-Pillar Golden Platform.

On the glazed light sword, a sacred halo appeared—that was the power of Dual Resonance!

Within the resonance force flowed numerous mysterious and profound seal-script characters. This was a manifestation closer to the origin of resonance nature, something only true Marquis-level powerhouses could condense.

Jiang Jiang Qinge did not hesitate in the slightest. The gorgeous, sacred Seven Treasures Glazed Light Sword shot skyward, as if even the firmament was being cleaved apart at this moment, and then directly collided head-on with the descending golden tower.

Clang!

At the moment of impact, the entire firmament seemed to tremble. A terrifying energy storm ravaged outward, leveling the continuous mountain ranges below into flat ground.

The golden tower shuddered, and the momentum of its suppression actually slowed somewhat.

This made the Sixth Rank Marquis-Grade Strong both shocked and furious. His gaze at Jiang Jiang Qinge grew even more murderous: "Such pure light resonance—this must be Ninth Grade! And she forged a Ten-Pillar Golden Platform, and can even unleash a Si Si Tianming-grade Marquis Art!"

"When did the Li Li Tianwang bloodline produce such an Unparalleled Prodigy in this generation?!"

The Sixth Rank Marquis-Grade Strong extended his palm, as if the entire firmament was covered beneath it, and pressed down viciously.

Boom!

The golden tower thundered, descending slowly. The gorgeous, sacred glazed light sword let out a wail of being overwhelmed. After all, no matter how stunning Jiang Jiang Qinge was, she could not bridge the gulf-like gap between them.

"Sister Jiang Jiang Qinge, I'll help you!"

Fortunately, she was not alone. At this moment, Li Luo had also prepared his means. Energy filled with fierce, baleful aura erupted from his body like a storm.

As Li Luo's strength continued to advance, the tremendous energy from the Five-Tailed Heavenly Wolf had gradually begun to be fully controlled by him, and the aftereffects of that baleful erosion had also weakened considerably.

A mysterious, massive sword array materialized in the void behind Li Luo.

Within it, three Dragon Fang Swords floated, releasing three kinds of tremendous, vast sword Qi.

It was precisely the "All-Resonance Dragon Fang Sword Array."

Li Luo was well aware of how terrifying a Sixth Rank Marquis was. Even though he was now borrowing the Five-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's power, the gap between them remained vast. To shake the opponent, he had no choice but to use his strongest trump card.

Boom!

The three Dragon Fang Swords erupted with boundless sword light. The sword lights merged, and a dark, colossal dragon could be seen coiling into existence. At the dragon's head, the sword-bone was ferocious, and an indescribably sharp aura spread out, filling heaven and earth.

Three-Resonance Dragon Fang Sword Light—Dragon of Annihilation!

Li Luo exhaled deeply and thrust his palm forward. The dark colossal dragon formed from the condensed terrifying sword light immediately tore through the void and charged out, slamming into the towering golden tower.

Clang!

At the instant of impact, a resonant, thunderous clang of metal seemed to ring out.

A terrifying storm of energy raged, slicing the surrounding void to ribbons.

And the Jin Ta, at this moment, was slowly lifted—the force of suppression had actually been blocked.

The shock in the eyes of that Sixth-Rank Marquis-level expert nearly overflowed; he could hardly believe what he was seeing. His own suppression, as a dignified Sixth-Rank Marquis-level expert, had actually been blocked by a First-Rank Marquis and a Da Tian Xiang Jing...?

Have these juniors of today already started ignoring the gap between ranks? Is my Sixth-Rank Marquis title a fake one?

And while the Sixth-Rank Marquis-level expert was doubting himself, Li Luo and Jiang Qing exchanged a glance, then suddenly let go and shot away at top speed. They both knew perfectly well that the resistance they had just mounted was only temporary; even with their strongest techniques deployed, they could only seize the moment to delay him briefly.

If they truly thought this would be enough to drive off the Sixth-Rank Marquis-level expert before them, that would be far too naive.

Li Hongyou also retreated rapidly along with the two of them.

Seeing this, the Sixth-Rank Marquis-level expert's face instantly turned ashen. If he truly let Li Luo and the others escape, Qin Qin Lian would probably tear him apart when he got back.

"Suppress them for me!" The Sixth-Rank Marquis-level expert formed hand seals, and six Marquis Platforms erupted with earth-shaking thunder. A torrent of energy pillars crashed down upon the Jin Ta, and instantly the Jin Ta blazed with ten thousand beams of Jin Guang as the mouth of the pagoda slowly descended, grinding the glazed light-sword and the dark sword-dragon that had been blocking beneath it into dust.

Then the Jin Ta tilted, its mouth locking onto Li Luo, Jiang Qing, and Li Hongyou as they tore through the sky.

Deep within the pagoda's mouth, Jin Guang churned and thunder rumbled, as if a devastating strike was being brewed.

After several breaths, the Sixth-Rank Marquis-level expert flicked a finger out and spoke with a chilling voice: "Heavenly Gold Mysterious Water!"

A torrent of Jin Guang suddenly blasted out from within the pagoda's mouth. The Jin Guang radiated boundless sharpness and keenness, yet within it flowed water of gold, like a river of gold.

The golden river pierced through the void, like a ten-thousand-li-long golden greatsword, tearing the heavens asunder.

Clearly, by this point, the Sixth-Rank Marquis-level expert dared not hold back in the slightest, and had unleashed his strongest technique.

The golden river rolled on, tearing through the air toward them.

Both Li Luo and Jiang Qing's eyes darkened. A Sixth-Rank Marquis was simply too strong; even fighting together, they had not the slightest chance of victory.

The two exchanged a glance. It seemed that for now, all they could do was pour out everything they had to buy time. They were already close to Tian Long Ridge; if they could stall a little longer, it would surely draw the attention of those over there, who would then send experts to investigate.

And just as the two were preparing to continue fighting with all their might, suddenly, both of them heard the sound of an ancient war drum, which abruptly rang out across the heavens and earth.

Li Luo and the others looked ahead, only to see that at the edge of the horizon there, surging energy suddenly came rolling in, like endless rolling clouds.

Within the clouds, countless figures seemed to march in perfect step, treading through the air.

The entire heavens and earth trembled mightily beneath their advance.

And as that army, brimming with overwhelming killing intent, came marching through the air, a deep, resonant voice also suddenly pierced through space, arriving from afar.

"What petty rats dare to cause trouble here in my Tian Long Ridge?!"

"Dragon Fang Guard, form the array!"

Accompanying that resonant voice came a blade-light ten thousand zhang in length, wrapped in rolling hurricanes, which collided with the golden river.

Boom boom!

Instantly the heavens and earth shook, and a golden rain poured down in sheets.
