Chapter 1332: Beast Fighting
Li Luo's voice, laden with killing intent, spread through this region, causing quite a few people's eyelids to twitch involuntarily.
They felt this scene was somewhat absurd—a Da Tian Xiang Jing daring to spout wild boasts at a Lower Fifth Rank Marquis Realm powerhouse.
But the sudden shift in the situation meant that Zhao Xiuyuan truly did not dare to take another step forward to meet the opponent in battle.
Originally, Zhao Xiuyuan alone had been able to suppress Li Fuluo and Li Tingyue, two Upper Fourth Rank Marquis Realm experts, but with Jiang Jiang Qinge's intervention, that suppression now seemed somewhat evenly matched.
And if one added Li Luo, who had reached the Upper Third Rank Marquis Realm through the power of the Da Jing Beast, then even Zhao Xiuyuan would likely have to temporarily avoid the sharp edge, because if they truly fought to the bitter end, even if he could drag one or two of them down with him, he would have to pay an extremely heavy price.
But right now, this place not only had the presence of the Heterogeneous, but also various other forces secretly watching. If he were to be seriously injured because of this, then the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Treasures in this Blood Lake could only be handed over to others.
Yet his earlier entrance had been so overwhelmingly forceful, and now in the blink of an eye he had been forced back by the opponent—this was truly a rather inexplicable frustration.
As the strongest Guard Commander of the Ten Thousand Beast Guard, Zhao Xiuyuan clearly possessed an extremely proud spirit.
He was unwilling to simply stop here.
Thus, his gaze shifted toward Qin Zhenlin and the others, and he said, "Qin Zhenlin, I recall that your Qin Li Tianwang branch also has a grudge against this Li Luo. Are you willing to join forces with us to first drive them out? When the time comes, there will be fewer competitors for these Foundation Establishment Spiritual Treasures."
Hearing this, Qin Zhenlin understood Zhao Xiuyuan's intention—he wanted to drag them into the water as well, to join forces against Li Li Tianwang's branch.
However, on Li Luo's side, two Guards had come together, and with Jiang Jiang Qinge added in, this strength was clearly a hard bone to crack. Trying to gnaw on it now might not be easy.
"Guard Commander, I feel there is no need to get involved in their struggle for now. If both sides are severely wounded, it might be more advantageous for us." While Qin Zhenlin was hesitating, Qin Yi suddenly said softly.
"Moreover, Li Luo is too monstrous. I worry that he's hiding some kind of trick, which could end up causing us losses."
Qin Zhenlin glanced at her and said with some surprise, "You think so highly of that Li Luo?"
Qin Yi's pretty face remained calm as she said, "I've just seen too many times where he fought against the wind, yet always came out bouncing around alive, and his strength growing ever more refined."
Qin Zhenlin was left speechless. This Li Luo did indeed seem a bit strange. When he first arrived at the Dragon Fang Branch, no one paid him any attention, but now, the country bumpkin that many people used to talk about had unknowingly become the number one figure of the younger generation in Outer Shenzhou.
"Hehe, Miss Yi need not be so cautious. In my view, this Li Luo is not much stronger than you. His impressive battle record is only because of that Marquis Realm Spirit Beast. Without it, he might not necessarily beat you by much." At this moment, Shen Yunge, who was standing nearby, suddenly said with a smile.
Qin Yi's clear, beautiful eyes glanced at him, but she did not respond.
Shen Yunge looked at Qin Zhenlin and smiled, "Guard Commander Zhenlin, Palace Master Qin Qin Lian has repeatedly instructed me on this trip to the Boundary River Treasure Domain that if I encounter this Li Luo, I should vent some anger on her behalf. Since you have your concerns right now, why not leave this opportunity to me?"
"Don't worry, I will only balance the strength between them, so that they can truly wound each other severely."
Hearing this, a hint of a smile surfaced in Qin Zhenlin's eyes. What he actually wanted was precisely this outcome.
Shen Yunge was not a member of their Qin Li Tianwang branch. If he wanted to act, who could stop him?
Thus, Qin Zhenlin nodded with a smile.
Seeing this, Shen Yunge slowly stepped forward.
Right now, Li Luo and the others were all confronting Zhao Xiuyuan. Shen Yunge's entry immediately broke the atmosphere, drawing the gazes of both sides.
Shen Yunge's gaze locked onto Li Luo, and he smiled, "The people of our Beast Taming Spirit Hall enjoy doing one thing most—'beast fighting.' I heard you have a Marquis Realm Spirit Beast in your hands. I wonder how it compares to my 'Golden Scale Heavenly Python'?"
He extended his arm, and the dark-gold bracelet on his wrist suddenly began to writhe. It was clearly a small golden snake whose tail curled around to form a ring.
At this moment, the little snake opened its cold vertical pupils. The next instant, its body suddenly swelled, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a hundred-zhang-long Golden Scale Giant Python. A towering wave of fierce, baleful energy surged skyward, drawing many shocked gazes from the surroundings.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiuyuan was also slightly surprised. However, he had long known about the intelligence on these people from the Beast Taming Spirit Hall. What he had not expected was that at this moment, it would be this Shen Yunge who stepped forward first, showing his hostility toward Li Luo.
"The Beast Taming Spirit Hall truly lives up to its reputation as a Li Tianwang-level force in Xuanling Shenzhou. These beast-taming methods are indeed unrivaled in the world." Zhao Xiuyuan laughed. Shen Yunge's move was only a measured one; he had no intention of drawing more people into the fray for him, but it could still relieve some of his pressure.
Under Shen Yunge's urging, the Golden Scale Heavenly Python, wrapped in towering baleful aura, charged toward Li Luo's position as fast as lightning.
The rolling baleful aura caused quite a few Marquis Realm experts of the same Third Rank to slightly change color.
The Golden Scale Heavenly Python's ferocious and vicious form was reflected in Li Luo's pupils. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. He lowered his head to glance at the crimson bracelet on his wrist, where the Six-Tailed Heavenly Wolf lying within let out an enraged howl.
Boom!
The next instant, a surge of vast, surging crimson energy erupted from within the bracelet, and then everyone saw a massive beast shadow shoot out at this moment, colliding head-on with the charging Golden Scale Heavenly Python.
That scene was like two meteors crashing into each other.
The fierce, baleful energy exploded violently. The void was shattered again and again, and much of the blood mist permeating the surroundings was stirred away.
Then, Shen Yunge's expression suddenly changed.
Because he saw a golden giant shadow flying back in a sorry state, finally crashing violently toward his position.
It was the Golden Scale Heavenly Python!
Shen Yunge hurriedly stretched out his hand, and a powerful wave of phase force swept out, catching the hundred-zhang giant shadow. The tremendous impact force caused his body to tremble slightly, but he ultimately managed to block it.
Shen Yunge's hand trembled, and his eyes looked toward the python's massive snake body, where the snake scales had been torn open, revealing a deep claw mark. Fresh blood gushed out continuously, causing the Golden Scale Heavenly Python to let out a pained hissing roar.
Looking at the Golden Scale Heavenly Python's injuries, Shen Yunge's face also darkened. Then he raised his head and looked ahead, where, in the dissipating smoke, a giant beast gradually became clear.
Shen Yunge's pupils contracted slightly.
It was a peerlessly fierce wolf, its body reaching several hundred zhang in length. It radiated a heart-palpitating aura of fierce, baleful energy. Drool dripped from between its fangs and sharp teeth, corroding the ground.
At its wolf claws, a faint golden light flickered, as if scales were growing there, making its claws and fangs appear even sharper.
Of course, the most eye-catching feature was the six tails swaying slowly at the giant wolf's rear.
As a member of the Beast Taming Spirit Hall, Shen Yunge's understanding of the Spirit Beast race was more thorough than anyone present.
Therefore, he recognized the giant beast before him at a glance.
It was, unmistakably, among the Spirit Beast races, ranked at the top tier... the Heavenly Wolf race.
Li Luo's Spirit Beast was actually a Heavenly Wolf!
And it was a Heavenly Wolf that had reached Six Tails. Shen Yunge speculated that this Heavenly Wolf's bloodline must be quite pure.
Additionally, the scales on the Heavenly Wolf's claws seemed to be dragon scales? This indicated that this Heavenly Wolf had been refined by dragon qi of an extremely high grade, which would greatly enhance its potential.
A glint of greed flashed deep in Shen Yunge's eyes. A lone Heavenly Wolf was not easy to find. If he could seize it and apply the "Beast Taming Curse," it would undoubtedly greatly enhance his strength.
This Heavenly Wolf falling into Li Luo's hands was truly a waste.
At this thought, Shen Yunge no longer hesitated. He said with a faint smile, "Guard Commander Zhao Xiuyuan, you hold back Li Fuluo and the others, and I'll help you deal with this Li Luo. How about it?"
As his words fell, without waiting for Zhao Xiuyuan to speak, he shook his sleeve. A jade-green phase force roared out, transforming into a jade-green light python that whistled toward Li Luo's position like lightning.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiuyuan immediately and without hesitation urged his five Marquis Platforms. On the Marquis Platforms, brilliant mystic light intertwined, then pressed down to suppress Li Fuluo, Li Tingyue, and Jiang Jiang Qinge.
Li Luo stared at the jade-green light python shooting toward him, cold light flowing in his eyes, and prepared to act.
Boom!
However, before his phase force could erupt, a thunderous roar suddenly came from the blood mist not far away. A streak of flowing light tore through the sky, directly blasting apart the void, and collided with that emerald light python.
Boom, boom!
A tremendous sound rang out, and that emerald light python was actually blasted apart. A heavy iron rod descended from the sky and stabbed into the ground.
Li Luo saw that somewhat familiar iron rod, and his gaze shifted slightly.
Then he turned his head, looking into the thin blood mist not far away, where a line of figures came walking slowly, entering the view of everyone present.
And at the head of that group was a man and a woman.
It was actually Zhang Cuicheng and Lv Shuanglu.
People from the Golden Dragon Treasure House had also entered this kind of ghoul zone.
Amidst numerous gazes of astonishment, Zhang Cuicheng reached out a hand, and that heavy iron rod flew back into his grasp. Then his gaze swept around, paused on Shen Yunge's body, and he spoke lightly.
"Li Luo, looks like you need some help."
