Chapter 1251: The Mother-Child Blood-Fusing Lamp

In the hands of Li Yuanshan and Li Qingbai appeared dark-red oil lamps, their surfaces engraved with scarlet patterns that flickered between light and shadow; these two lamps, one large and one small.

The large one was in Li Yuanshan's hand, while the small one was in Li Qingbai's.

As soon as the oil lamp appeared, Li Qingbai stepped back two paces, bit his tongue, and spat out a mouthful of essence blood directly, which transformed into droplets of blood that fell into the lamp.

His complexion immediately turned much paler.

Yet the oil lamp was gradually ignited by his essence blood.

As the oil lamp was ignited, threads of blood like worms extended from its flame, drilling directly into the palm of Li Qingbai's hand that held the lamp.

The blood threads seemed to be drawing Li Qingbai's fresh blood to strengthen the lamp's flame.

At the same time, the oil lamp in Li Yuanshan's hand ignited without fire, and similarly, threads of blood emerged from the flame, piercing into the flesh and blood of his palm.

But compared to Li Qingbai's face becoming increasingly pale, Li Yuanshan's eyes grew increasingly bright, and even the fluctuation of Xiang power radiating from his body began to climb at this very moment.

Above his head, three Fenghou Platforms erupted with a tremendous roar, like black holes, devouring the energy of heaven and earth within a radius of several hundred li.

This scene fell into the eyes of countless people in the arena, instantly causing exclamations of shock.

On the Dragon Tooth Guard side, everyone was stunned; the Left Dragon Tooth Envoy, Luo Jiang, could not help but say, "This is..."

Li Fulu's expression darkened slightly as he said, "The Mother-Child Blood-Fusing Lamp; this is a Lower-Rank Fenghou Treasure, and it requires a corresponding Mi Fa to be used, nourishing the Child Lamp with essence blood to strengthen the Mother Lamp's power."

"No wonder they wanted a two-person battle; they intended to use this move as their final trump card."

Li Fulu frowned; it seemed this was the opponent's hidden move. Once they found that Li Qingbai or Li Yuanshan could not defeat Li Luo or Jiang Jiang Qinge alone, they would resort to this tactic.

This tactic was not too rare; it was generally a Bo Ming Zhi Fa used against external enemies, but it caused significant damage to the user of the Child Lamp. It seemed Li Zhihuo and the others, in their determination to secure victory this time, had truly made a ruthless decision.

"Truly despicable. Their rank already holds such a huge advantage, yet they still resort to such tactics; it is too shameless," Li Li Fengyi said angrily.

"After all, the stakes are too high; Li Zhihuo must feel the pain as well," Li Jingtang said.

"This also shows they are determined to drive the Red Grape Thousand Guards out of the Dragon Tooth Guard," Li Li Fuling said indignantly.

However, they all understood that righteous indignation at this moment was useless. Although Li Yuanshan and Li Qingbai's tactics were somewhat controversial, the opponents clearly valued victory more.

At this time, on the high platform, the high-ranking members of Li Li Tianwang's various branches were also watching the clash between the juniors in the arena.

Li Li Jinpan, with a fiery temper, pouted and said, "It's just a step-climbing sparring match, and yet a Top-Tier Within Third-Rank Fenghou and a Top-Tier Within First-Rank Fenghou are ganging up on a First-Rank Fenghou and a Da Tian Xiang Jing, and they still have to use such tactics. Is the Dragon Blood Guard so unable to accept defeat?"

Present here were also high-ranking members of the Dragon Blood Branch, such as Li Li Zhiqiu. He was originally an Inspector dispatched by the Dragon Blood Branch to Tianlong Ridge. If the heads of the various academies—Li Li Jiluo, Li Li Qingpeng, and Li Li Jinpan—had not arrived, he would have held a position of considerable status within Tianlong City, capable of overseeing the Five Guards, but now, he could only sit in the back rows.

So, facing Li Li Jinpan's mockery, Li Li Zhiqiu merely twitched his face and did not join in the conversation.

Li Li Jiluo, as the Grand Head of the Golden Blood Academy within the Dragon Blood Branch, held a status second only to the Branch Head. Hearing this, he smiled faintly and said, "The juniors are young and impetuous, naturally possessing an extreme desire for victory; there is no need to be overly harsh in judgment."

Then he looked at Li Li Jingzhe, who sat in the first seat and had not spoken, and said respectfully with a smile, "Of course, if Branch Head Li Jingzhe feels this is inappropriate, he can also speak a word to persuade them to withdraw."

Li Li Qingpeng glanced at Li Li Jiluo; this old fellow was also very cunning. By retreating to advance, he made it impossible for Li Li Jingzhe to truly call a halt to both sides.

Li Li Jingzhe watched the surging energy of heaven and earth in the arena and suddenly said, "Li Li Jiluo, they all say you are the next Branch Head of the Dragon Blood Branch designated by Li Li Tianji, and currently the Grand Head with the best chance among the five branches to enter the King Realm. Then, what do you think? Which side will win this match?"

Hearing Li Li Jingzhe's question, Li Li Jiluo hurriedly smiled and said, "Branch Head Li Jingzhe overestimates me. I am still far from the King Realm, and my Branch Head merely flatters me."

He paused, then added, "As for the competition in the arena, I am a person of the Dragon Blood Branch, so naturally, I will favor our side."

Li Li Jiluo did not offer empty pleasantries but chose to support the two from the Dragon Blood Guard as a matter of course.

At the same time, he smiled and said, "Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge possess peerless talent; among this generation of the five branches, no one can compare to them. If given some more time, the Dragon Tooth Guard will become stronger than ever before under their hands. However, at present, they still lack a bit of refinement."

Li Li Jingzhe looked at him and said, "Your words are watertight. You truly possess a bit of Li Li Tianji's essence. Compared to you, my two sons are like simpletons."

Li Li Qingpeng was speechless; why attack him personally when he had done nothing? He hadn't said a word.

Li Li Jinpan muttered a few words in dissatisfaction but did not dare to refute Li Li Jingzhe.

Li Li Jingzhe ignored them and continued, "I actually think that in this match, Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge will emerge victorious."

"I heard they have a wager this time. Do you want to make a bet with me?"

Li Li Jiluo smiled and said, playing along, "I wonder what Branch Head Li Jingzhe wishes to bet on?"

"The Black Rain Ghost Calamity is approaching, and the Realm River Domain is about to enter the 'Great Harvest Season.' Let us bet on the 'Hunting Grounds' held by the Dragon Tooth Guard and the Dragon Blood Guard. Whoever loses shall forfeit a Top-Tier Hunting Ground. How about that?" Li Li Jingzhe said slowly.

Li Li Jiluo gave a bitter smile and said, "This wager is too heavy. The Dragon Blood Guard possesses only four Top-Tier Hunting Grounds. These were fought for with all the heart and blood of those young ones. How could I dare use them as a stake? So this time, I must disappoint Branch Head Li Jingzhe."

Hearing this, Li Li Jingzhe did not get angry but sighed and said, "You, Li Li Jiluo, indeed possess the bearing of a Branch Head."

Although Li Li Jiluo was a person of the Dragon Blood Branch, Li Li Jingzhe held a very high opinion of him.

He felt a slight regret in his heart; it was a pity that Tai Zhu Xuan had left the Dragon Tooth Branch, otherwise he would have been able to completely suppress this Li Li Jiluo.

While they were speaking, on the battle platform, the fluctuation of Xiang power erupting from Li Yuanshan became increasingly terrifying. The three towering Fenghou Platforms above his head erupted with radiance reaching ten thousand zhang, like three great suns, dazzling to the extreme.

At this moment, he even vaguely showed signs of touching upon the Fourth-Rank Fenghou.

Under such momentum, even the "Ten Pillar Golden Platform" above Jiang Jiang Qinge's head began to have its light suppressed.

After all, no matter how strong the Ten Pillar Golden Platform was, resisting a Third-Rank Fenghou was already its limit.

Li Luo also looked up at this moment at the three Fenghou Platforms emitting such powerful pressure, frowned slightly, and said, "They truly came prepared."

However, fortunately, he had some preparations from the very beginning as well.

He turned his head and smiled at Jiang Jiang Qinge, saying, "Sister Jiang Qinge, did you get the item?"

Jiang Jiang Qinge nodded, extending her slender palm. A single drop of fresh blood was seen floating in her palm. "This is a drop of his blood I obtained opportunistically when I fought Li Yuanshan earlier."

She stared at Li Luo with her golden eyes, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Do you intend to use that 'Dragon Blood Nightmare Technique' to sever Li Yuanshan's realm?"

"Although this technique is profound, the gap between your strength and Li Yuanshan's is too great, and it is easy to invite backlash."

Li Luo smiled and said, "If I were using it against Fenghou experts from outside, I would indeed not dare to use this technique. But since it is to be used against someone from the same Tianlong Five Branches, I feel it is worth a try. After all... who can blame me for treating them with their own methods, given that the Dragon Blood Branch is the king of internal strife?"

Many Fenghou Techniques of the Dragon Blood Branch utilize bloodlines to suppress the other four branches, so people from the other four branches often complain that the Dragon Blood Branch is the king of internal strife.

For example, that Dragon Blood Balance Technique, and also this "Dragon Blood Nightmare Technique."

After all, following the weighing by Li Li Qingfeng's "Dragon Blood Balance Technique" previously, Li Luo had realized that the Tianlong Bloodline he possessed seemed to surpass that of many geniuses of the Dragon Blood Branch.

So, one could not blame him for using their own methods against them.

"Then let us try. If it does not work, I have other means," Jiang Jiang Qinge said softly.

Li Luo reached out, took the drop of fresh blood from Jiang Jiang Qinge's hand, and then looked with interest at Li Yuanshan in the distance.

Since you wish to use this kind of Mi Fa to amplify your realm.

Then...

Let's see whether you amplify more, or I cut more!
