Chapter 1247: Li Luo's True First Battle for Marquis Rank

A dazzling, resplendent ten-pillar golden stage stood tall in the void, and that sacred glazed Marquis Platform left many of the Marquis-level experts present gazing at it with infatuation, for this was the very pinnacle and perfection of a Marquis Platform.

At the high platform's viewing area, Li Li Jiluo and these high-ranking members from the other branches, upon seeing this scene, could not help but be somewhat moved.

"Dean Li Li Qingpeng, when did the Dragon Fang Guard produce such an unrivaled prodigy? What is her name?" Li Li Jiluo could not help but ask Li Li Qingpeng beside him.

A hint of pride appeared on Li Li Qingpeng's kindly face as he smiled and said: "Her name is Jiang Qing, she just entered our Dragon Fang Guard."

"Not a member of our Li Li Tianwang branch? Such an unrivaled prodigy must have an extraordinary background, right? How could she have come to the Dragon Fang Guard?" Li Li Jiluo said, his eyes filled with surprise.

He meant no offense, but if Jiang Jiang Qinge came from another top-tier power, how could they be willing to let her go? It simply did not make sense.

"Haha, Qing is Li Luo's fiancée. They grew up together, and some time ago Li Luo went and brought her back to the Dragon Fang Branch, and then Qing joined the Dragon Fang Guard along with him to train and temper herself," Li Li Qingpeng said.

"Li Luo's fiancée?!"

Li Li Jiluo was stunned for a moment, then his expression grew extremely complicated. This Li Luo truly lived up to being Li Taixuan's son; this skill of his at "attracting bees and butterflies" was simply the pupil surpassing the master.

Back in the day, Li Taixuan had traveled abroad and brought back a similarly unrivaled talent who overwhelmed her peers, Dantai Lan, and now Li Luo was even more impressive, having cultivated an unrivaled fiancée right from childhood?

Could these two possess some kind of "treasure-attracting wife" trait?

Li Li Jiluo was well aware that, given the talent Jiang Jiang Qinge had revealed, even if she could not truly complete the "Unrivaled Path" in the future and become the world-shaking "Unrivaled Marquis," she would absolutely be able to become a mainstay of the Dragon Fang Branch.

In this generation, the Dragon Fang Branch had produced a Li Luo, and now another with unrivaled potential, Jiang Jiang Qinge.

Li Li Jiluo felt very worried about the Dragon Blood Branch's future.

Moreover... Li Jingzhuo had also stepped into the realm of the Void Triple Crown King.

Li Li Jiluo's gaze shifted, and he sighed inwardly. The Dragon Blood Branch's position as the mountain-controlling branch of Li Li Tianwang's lineage seemed to be facing ever greater threats.

And while countless people were marveling at the "ten-pillar golden stage" Jiang Jiang Qinge had revealed, Li Luo also drove his own resonant power to its fullest.

An eight-thousand-four-hundred-zhang Celestial Phase Diagram appeared in midair. In truth, a scale like this was already no weak feat, but now, before those towering Marquis Platforms in the arena, it did look somewhat insignificant.

Low murmurs of surprise rose from the arena, clearly because many people did not understand why a Da Tian Xiang Jing had been mixed into a battle between Marquis-level experts.

So the current situation was a First Rank Marquis and a Da Tian Xiang Jing versus an Upper Third Rank Marquis and an Upper First Rank Marquis?

With such a vast disparity, even a ten-pillar golden stage probably could not carry it, could it?

Li Yuanshan's gaze locked onto Jiang Jiang Qinge with vigilance and wariness. Although the latter possessed only a single Marquis Platform, the intensity of the resonant power it radiated was in no way inferior to that of an ordinary Third Rank Marquis.

"Qingbai, follow the plan. I'll hold off Jiang Jiang Qinge first. You defeat Li Luo as fast as you can, and then you and I join forces. That should be enough to secure the victory," Li Yuanshan said in a low voice.

"Good."

Li Qingbai nodded, then his gaze, carrying a cold smile, turned toward Li Luo.

The three Marquis Platforms above Li Yuanshan's head trembled and roared, and vast, surging waves of heaven and earth energy were continuously drawn in. The next instant, he suddenly stomped his foot.

Boom!

The massive battle stage seemed to tremble violently. The next instant, an earthen wall suddenly erupted between Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge, like a city wall, separating the two.

At the same time, rolling Marquis divine smoke erupted from the three Marquis Platforms. The smoke was a grayish-yellow color, and in the blink of an eye it coalesced into a grayish-yellow giant dragon, which, wrapped in a roaring dragon's cry, charged straight at Jiang Jiang Qinge.

Wherever it passed, the void continuously crumbled, its momentum terrifying.

Seeing Li Yuanshan bearing down on her, Jiang Jiang Qinge immediately understood their plan and gave a light cry: "Li Luo, protect yourself first."

Then her figure shot into the air. Behind her, three Ninth Grade Light Spirit Manifestations appeared, and sacred light poured down, instantly assimilating all the heaven and earth energy in the vicinity into light.

She wielded a heavy sword, and from that ten-pillar golden stage, divine smoke like holy water flowed down and clung to the blade.

The heavy sword swung, and a sacred sword light flew out like a light phoenix, colliding head-on with the charging grayish-yellow giant dragon.

Boom!

Immediately, violent shockwaves of heaven and earth energy ravaged outward.

Jiang Jiang Qinge's delicate frame trembled slightly, and the heavy sword in her hand also shook violently at this moment. Heavy resonant power eroded inward, as if a mountain range were pressing down on the void.

That was the power of Li Yuanshan's Earth Dragon Resonance.

It possessed a suppressing effect.

But very soon, from that ten-pillar golden stage, Unrivaled divine smoke descended and washed over her body, directly purifying all the resonant power that had eroded inward.

However, from this exchange, Jiang Jiang Qinge could also sense the opponent's strength. Compared to Li Changfeng, this Li Yuanshan was indeed several degrees stronger.

Jiang Jiang Qinge formed a seal with one hand. Light resonant power, sacred and pure to the extreme, gathered together, and then she formed a light seal and blasted it out directly.

"Marquis Art, Light Purifying World Seal!"

A dazzling light seal pierced through the void like a stream of light, and wherever it passed, all heaven and earth energy was purified.

And Jiang Jiang Qinge's offensive also drew exclamations of admiration from many. If it were an ordinary First Rank Marquis, they would long since have been pressed by Li Yuanshan with no room to breathe. But Jiang Jiang Qinge had not only blocked the opponent's attack, she could even counterattack in the momentum. This ten-pillar golden stage was truly domineering in might.

Li Yuanshan, seeing the light seal piercing through the air, did not harbor the slightest contempt. With a clench of his palm, an earthen-yellow heavy mace appeared in his hand.

This was the Yuan Yuan Banshan, a Lower Grade Marquis Treasure.

He swung the heavy mace, and immediately a phantom image of a giant mountain seemed to emerge in the sky, then fell down and merged into the heavy mace, causing it to sink with the weight of a mountain.

The heavy mace swung down and collided with the light seal.

Boom boom!

The void trembled continuously, and both sides' Marquis Platforms were now doing their utmost to spew resonant power, amplifying each other's attacks.

Such a collision caused many of the Marquis-level experts present to wear solemn expressions.

"What a powerful ten-pillar golden stage. With the power of a First Rank Marquis, she can actually go back and forth with a Third Rank Marquis," Li Zhihuo said from the Dragon Blood Guard's side, watching the two clash, unable to help but sigh.

"If her second Marquis Platform can also be forged with ten pillars, even I would be in some danger."

Li Hongque gazed at that almost the most dazzling figure in the entire arena, a flash of jealousy crossing her eyes, and said: "It's not that easy. Throughout history, there has been no shortage of unrivaled prodigies who forged a ten-pillar golden stage when first entering the Marquis level, but in the end, this first Marquis Platform consumed too much potential, causing the Unrivaled Path to step lower and lower, until they could only walk back down the ordinary path."

"Moreover, although Guard Commander you never forged ten pillars, you once forged a nine-pillar Marquis Platform. Such a foundation is not something an ordinary Marquis can compare to."

Li Zhihuo's expression held a hint of regret, because who wouldn't want to forge a perfect ten-pillar golden stage? He had once made near-perfect preparations, attempting to break through to ten pillars, but unfortunately, in the end, he still fell a little short, only forging nine pillars.

"On Jiang Jiang Qinge's side, Li Yuanshan probably won't be able to win quickly, but he is good at defense, so even Jiang Jiang Qinge cannot break through. Next, as long as Li Qingbai defeats Li Luo, the situation will become clear."

Li Hongque nodded, then her vindictive gaze turned to another spot, where Li Qingbai had already appeared before Li Luo with a towering Marquis Platform above his head.

With Li Qingbai's strength as an Upper First Rank Marquis, how could Li Luo, this Da Tian Xiang Jing, possibly resist?

At this moment, many gazes were likewise fixed on Li Luo's side.

For from the very beginning, in everyone's understanding, Li Luo's side would be a loophole and a flaw; at the same time, this was also the main reason Li Zhihuo was willing to accept the wager.

A Da Tian Xiang Jing realm cultivator facing a first-grade Marquis-level powerhouse.

How to win?

Under the gaze of those numerous eyes, Li Luo looked at the mocking expression in Li Qingbai's eyes ahead, and his expression gradually became calm.

This was the first time up to now that he relied on his own strength to fight a Marquis-level powerhouse.

At the same time, this was also his first battle since arriving at the Heavenly Dragon Five Guards.

Jiang Jiang Qinge's side was already so dazzling; his side should also have some performance.

With this thought, Li Luo took a deep breath.

He formed a seal with one hand.
