Chapter 1281: The Reinforcements Arrive

The continuous streams of light carried astonishing energy as they appeared directly in this stretch of sky, and the moment they appeared, an overwhelmingly powerful energy pressure instantly rolled outward, completely suppressing the momentum of the Black Water Guard and the Swallowing Heaven Guard.

Countless gazes turned in shock.

One could see surging energy condensing into clouds in the sky, and within those clouds, several thousand figures could be seen standing with halberds in hand, their auras rising and converging together to form a grand formation.

That aura was sharp to the extreme, easily tearing apart the heavens.

Especially at the very front, a man with a tall, upright build and a cold, stern expression stood with his hands clasped behind his back. An oppressive aura spread from his body, and above his head, four Marquis Platforms erupted with low, rumbling roars amidst the vast energy.

Looking at this extremely imposing man, many present recognized him, and exclamations immediately erupted: "That is... the commander of the Dragon Fang Guard, Li Fuluo!"

The reinforcements from Sky Dragon Ridge had finally arrived.

Many scattered cultivators sighed in disappointment; at this point, their covetous thoughts about the King Pearl were thoroughly dashed.

Some people looked at Li Luo with a hint of admiration in their eyes. Throughout this flight, Li Luo and the others had broken through countless blockades, and most crucially, had previously defeated a powerful enemy like Zhao Zhuoyan. If Li Luo had failed to hold back Zhao Zhuoyan earlier, then the latter would have long since seized the King Pearl and retreated successfully, and even if Li Fuluo arrived afterward, he could only clean up the aftermath.

But, Li Luo bore all the pressure.

He delayed long enough to wait for the reinforcements from Sky Dragon Ridge.

"This guy is still only at the Da Tian Xiang Jing." someone sighed. Originally, in a competition at this level, a Da Tian Xiang Jing cultivator was nothing more than cannon fodder, yet Li Luo, this Da Tian Xiang Jing cultivator, had achieved such dazzling results.

Once he steps into the Marquis Realm in the future, what kind of brilliance will he display?

"That Jiang Jiang Qinge's Ten-Pillar Golden Platform is certainly stunning, but this Li Luo also has extraordinary potential. Who knows, in the future he might also be an unmatched prodigy. This Dragon Fang Lineage is truly remarkable." some famous Marquis Realm powerhouses in the Boundary River Domain said.

Regardless, this incident was no small matter, and Li Luo was destined to rise to sudden fame in the Boundary River Domain.

As the various powerhouses were sighing, Chu Qing also raised his head, his expression somewhat solemn as he looked at Li Fuluo's figure. The latter had only brought five thousand-strong units of the Dragon Fang Guard, but he himself was a Fourth Rank Marquis, and combined with the five thousand-strong units, that was almost equivalent to a Sixth Rank Marquis.

Such strength was already enough to intimidate everyone.

Chu Qing understood in his heart that once Li Fuluo appeared, it would be impossible for him to take the King Pearl from Li Luo. He immediately dispersed the immobilized energy giant hand and said, "Commander Li Fuluo is truly a timely rain."

If Li Fuluo had arrived a moment later, he would have been able to successfully obtain the King Pearl.

Li Fuluo glanced at him and said lightly, "It can only be said that Li Luo has ability. A Da Tian Xiang Jing cultivator was actually able to drag out the time until this step under the covetous gazes of so many Marquis Realm powerhouses."

Chu Qing nodded and smiled, "This is indeed a very rare ability."

"However, this matter of the King Pearl has alarmed all sides, and all four great Heavenly King Lineages have intervened. Now for the Li Li Tianwang lineage to monopolize it is somewhat not placing the other three Heavenly King Lineages in its eyes."

Chu Qing's tone was calm, but his words were quite sharp, with the intention of placing the Li Li Tianwang lineage in opposition to the other three great Heavenly King Lineages.

"Haha, our Swallowing Heaven Guard is just here to join in the fun. After all, you guys are making such a ruckus here, and if we don't show our faces, it feels like we have no presence. Besides, although the King Pearl is precious, in the end it's only a main material for refining a top-grade Foundation Establishment spiritual treasure, not an actual top-grade Foundation Establishment spiritual treasure. Chu Qing, don't act like you've never seen the world." At this moment, Zhu Dahai of the Swallowing Heaven Guard burst into laughter.

He didn't let Chu Qing use their banner to pressure them. After all, the relationship between their Zhu Heavenly King lineage and the Li Li Tianwang lineage was still quite good; although there were inevitable frictions and competition, compared to the Qin and Zhao great Heavenly King lineages, it was already much better.

Upon hearing this, Chu Qing also felt somewhat helpless. This Zhu Dahai was clearly a stirrer of shit, causing his plan to fall through directly.

"Alright, Chu Qing, you don't need to waste words here stalling for time. You're waiting for your Nine Tribulation Guard's commander Qin Zhenlin to arrive, right? Don't wait. Our Commander Li Tingyue has already led the Dragon Scale Guard to intercept that Qin Zhenlin south of Black Soul Ridge." Li Fuluo said lightly.

Chu Qing was stunned, then smiled bitterly. His intention had been seen through. It seemed the reinforcements sent by Sky Dragon Ridge this time were not just the Dragon Fang Guard led by Li Fuluo.

If other Sky Dragon Guards had also come, then it was truly game over.

Chu Qing sighed lightly and shook his head, saying to Qin Yi beside him, "Returning empty-handed, it seems I'll be scolded by Master again when we get back."

Qin Yi said softly, "This is unavoidable. The Sky Dragon Ridge reinforcements came too quickly. We can't expect you, Senior Brother, to snatch someone from Li Fuluo's hands; that would be asking too much."

Chu Qing said, "If only a Dragon Fang Envoy had come, I wouldn't fear them. As for Li Fuluo, I wonder if I could fight him once I step into the Third Rank Marquis."

Although he was currently a Second Rank Marquis, he had defeated a Third Rank Marquis across ranks, which was enough to demonstrate his own foundation and powerful methods.

"No rush. With Senior Brother's outstanding talent, the position of Nine Tribulation Guard commander will most likely be yours in the future." Qin Yi said with a light smile.

"Commander Qin Zhenlin probably won't be willing to give up his seat easily." Chu Qing said with a smile, shaking his head.

While they were talking here, Li Luo quickly led his people to greet Li Fuluo. Looking at the several thousand Dragon Fang Guard members behind the latter, he immediately felt a full sense of security.

"Li Luo, you really know how to cause trouble. It was just one mission out here, yet you've alarmed nearly half the Boundary River Domain." Li Fuluo stared at Li Luo and said somewhat helplessly.

They had originally been on a mission here, but an urgent notice came from Sky Dragon Pavilion, ordering them to come to the rescue at the fastest speed.

"You can't blame me for this." Li Luo showed an innocent expression. This "King Pearl" rarely appeared before his eyes; could he just abandon it?

"By the way, Commander, hurry and help Sister Jiang Qinge!" However, in an instant Li Luo hurriedly said.

Although he was safe here, Jiang Jiang Qinge was still fighting fiercely against many Marquis Realm powerhouses behind.

Li Fuluo waved his hand and said, "No need to rush. Li Jushen has already led the Dragon Bone Guard there, and Academy Head Li Li Qingpeng has also gone to 'Jin Shi Water Abyss'. It is said that the Zhao Heavenly King lineage sent top Marquis Realm powerhouses, and he was worried that Academy Head Li Li Jinpan would suffer a loss, so he led people to provide support."

Only upon hearing this did Li Luo finally breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed this incident was indeed no small matter; out of the five Sky Dragon Guards, three commanders had come directly.

Throughout this flight, his mind had been highly tense. Now that reinforcements had finally arrived, he couldn't help but feel a wave of exhaustion throughout his body. But what was gratifying was that the King Pearl had finally been brought back smoothly.

However, not long after he relaxed, a vast expanse of light and surging energy fluctuations suddenly erupted from the distant rear.

A moment later, large swathes of light arrived in unison, tearing through the air.

Li Luo's gaze shot over, and he immediately saw Jiang Jiang Qinge's breathtakingly beautiful figure at first glance. He immediately went up to her and asked with concern, "Sister Jiang Qinge, are you alright?"

"Haha, Jiang Dragon Fang Envoy truly lives up to her reputation as an unmatched prodigy. When I rushed there, she single-handedly suppressed that Zhao Jiyun and the other Marquis Realm powerhouses until they had no temper at all. Truly amazing." Beside them, a man with a towering, giant-tower-like build laughed in a booming voice.

He was none other than the Dragon Bone Guard commander, Li Jushen.

His voice was not concealed, spreading out like thunder.

In the distance, Chu Qing and Qin Yi both had their eyes flicker upon hearing this, their gazes turning toward that unparalleled, breathtakingly beautiful figure in mid-air.

"She is the one who forged the Ten-Pillar Golden Platform, that unmatched prodigy?" A fighting spirit rose in Chu Qing's eyes.

"She is Li Luo's fiancée, Jiang Jiang Qinge?" Qin Yi also thought to herself.
