Chapter 1458: A Brilliant Battle Record

The moment Li Luo drew out the "Sky Dragon Sun-Chasing Bow," the void before him shattered as three dragon shadows surged forth in a grand procession, finally condensing into an arrow radiating terrifying might that settled onto the bowstring.

It was the "Three Dragon King-Slaying Arrow," transformed from the Three Dragon Banner Codex.

The light arrow formed by the convergence of the three dragon shadows let out a low, resonant dragon's roar, brimming with astonishing killing intent.

But Li Luo did not stop there. Instead, he sent his mind into the crimson bracelet on his wrist, awakening the Six-Tailed Heavenly Wolf coiled within.

"Wolf Bro, lend me your Heavenly Wolf Blood Sha Poison for a bit."

The Six-Tailed Heavenly Wolf let out a wolf howl. The next instant, a torrent of overwhelming blood sha poison surged out from the bracelet, taking the form of a miniature blood wolf, emanating an endless stench of blood.

Li Luo grabbed the "Heavenly Wolf Blood Sha Poison" in one hand, bit the tip of his tongue, and spat out a stream of Sky Dragon essence blood flowing with purple-gold hues, fusing it with the poison.

Great Blood Poison Art!

He activated the Great Blood Poison Art, swiftly merging the two. In the end, dragon scales seemed to emerge across the body of that blood-red wolf shadow, and the poisonous aura grew even more terrifying.

Then the blood-red wolf shadow settled onto the "Three Dragon King-Slaying Arrow," instantly dyeing the light arrow a blood-red hue that made one's heart tremble.

This was the killing move Li Luo had modified.

Three Dragon Poison Wolf King-Slaying Arrow.

Li Luo's fingers rested on the bowstring, his gaze growing incomparably sharp. The arrowhead of the light arrow locked onto Fang Xingyun from afar.

The instant he was locked onto by Li Luo, Fang Xingyun also sensed an immense crisis. His face turned extremely ugly; clearly, he had not expected the situation to suddenly reverse like this.

He had now temporarily fallen to the Sixth-Rank Marquis Realm, having lost the augmentation of his Marquis Domain. At this moment, Li Luo's offensive was enough to pose a fatal threat to him.

But Fang Xingyun also knew he could not retreat, otherwise the morale of the Thunder Fire Outer Shenzhou forces would surely collapse.

"Li Luo, the backlash you've suffered is absolutely not as easy as it looks on the surface. Right now, you're nothing more than a spent arrow at the end of its flight!" Fang Xingyun roared like thunder.

At the same time, the six Marquis Platforms above his head erupted with surging energy fluctuations. From them, ancient runes peeled off one after another, rapidly condensing before Fang Xingyun.

They finally transformed into a massive silver bell flowing with lightning. Upon the silver bell, the ancient runes coalesced together, seemingly forming a dragon shadow that swam along the bell's body.

Marquis Divine Talisman: Heavenly Thunder Dragon-Patterned Bell!

Boom!

And at that very instant, Li Luo released his fingers from the bowstring. A blood-red beam, at a speed impossible to dodge, directly tore through the heavens. Wherever the blood light passed, even the world's energy was split apart.

Within that blood light was contained an overbearing poisonous aura capable of corrupting even the world's energy.

Under countless moved gazes, the blood light pierced through the world and slammed brutally into the "Heavenly Thunder Dragon-Patterned Bell" blocking Fang Xingyun's path.

Clang!

A piercing thunderclap reverberated throughout the entire Crossing-Space. Visible sound waves spread from the point of collision, utterly annihilating the nearby mountains one after another.

Countless gazes watched in tense anticipation.

Fang Xingyun's eyes were also fixed intently on the "Thunder Bell" ahead. There, rolling waves of blood sha poison came eroding in, even dimming the lightning on the bell's surface. The overbearing nature of this poison was simply shocking.

And as the blood poison continued to spread, suddenly a faint cracking sound reached Fang Xingyun's ears, making his soul nearly flee his body in terror.

For he saw that on the thunder bell, a tiny crack had appeared, and then this crack spread outward at an astonishing speed in all directions.

Blood light poured forth from the fissures in a swarm.

Fang Xingyun's heart surged with monstrous waves, while his entire body turned icy cold.

Boom!

Yet before he could make any other move, the thunder bell, having reached its limit, exploded with a roar. Immediately, the light of blood poison came pouring down, and in almost an instant, it melted away the phase power defense around Fang Xingyun's body.

A streak of blood light whistled in, piercing straight through Fang Xingyun's lower abdomen.

Puchi!

Fang Xingyun was as if struck heavily, his figure sent flying backward over a thousand zhang, smashing through mountains that rose from the earth along the way. By the time he stabilized his figure, his hair was disheveled, looking utterly wretched.

And most terrifying of all, at his lower abdomen, the horrifying poisonous aura was rampaging madly through his body. Wherever it passed, his physical flesh was actually dissolving at an astonishing speed.

Fang Xingyun's face darkened. At this moment, he already knew that in this clash, he had lost.

His emotions churned to the extreme, and he could no longer suppress the rampant poisonous aura within him. He spat out a mouthful of black blood wildly, then plunged headfirst from midair.

And as Fang Xingyun fell, a pillar of light descended from the horizon, enveloping his figure. Under the illumination of this light pillar, the poisonous aura within his body rapidly dissipated.

In the end, Fang Xingyun was sent out of the Crossing-Space.

But this also proved that Li Luo had achieved ultimate victory in this fierce battle against Fang Xingyun.

The teams from the other Saint Academies of the Thunder Fire Outer Shenzhou now underwent drastic changes in expression, their faces full of disbelief. They could not accept that Fang Xingyun, whose strength had reached the Seventh-Rank Marquis Realm, had actually lost to Li Luo, who was only at the Unparalleled Second Rank.

And having lost Fang Xingyun, their stabilizing pillar, the Thunder Fire Outer Shenzhou's advantage would be utterly swept away!

However, as the Saint Academy teams of the Thunder Fire Outer Shenzhou were shaken in their hearts, the numerous Saint Academy teams of the Eastern Domain Outer Shenzhou erupted into joyous cheers, and their morale surged as they launched the most ferocious counterattack.

This shock was not only within the Crossing-Space; even in the outside world, it triggered a tidal wave of shock.

The academy teams from all sides were all moved by it.

After all, a feat like defeating a Seventh-Rank Marquis Realm with Unparalleled Second Rank was absolutely considered extremely rare even when looking through the entire history of the Heavenly Mirror Pagoda trials.

And what was even rarer was that such a feat actually came from a Saint Academy team of the Outer Shenzhou.

Countless gazes looked admiringly at Li Luo's figure. This feat alone was enough to etch his name upon the pagoda stele of the Heavenly Mirror Pagoda, for future students to revere and look up to.

"This kid actually really defeated Fang Xingyun..." On the platform where the Holy Light Ancient Academy was located, Sheng Que'er stared at this scene in some astonishment, clicking her tongue in amazement.

Even she could not help but sigh in admiration at Li Luo's brilliant and illustrious feat.

Beside her, an exquisite smile also surfaced on Jiang Jiang Qinge's breathtakingly beautiful face. "Instructor Que'er, over these years, those who looked down on Li Luo have ultimately come to understand how short-sighted they were."

Hearing the slight hint of smugness in Jiang Jiang Qinge's voice, Sheng Que'er was somewhat caught between laughter and tears, and also found it strange. After all, given Jiang Jiang Qinge's usual composed and unflappable calm demeanor, she had actually revealed such an expression.

And this also made Sheng Que'er understand that in Jiang Jiang Qinge's heart, her regard for Li Luo even surpassed that for herself.

After all, even when Jiang Jiang Qinge faced doubts directed at herself, her emotional fluctuations had never been this obvious.

On the platform of the distant Zhu Xuan Ling Ancient Academy, Xi Li remained expressionless, though a trace of wariness still flickered in his eyes.

"Truly worthy of being a prodigy who emerged from the Li Tianwang Vein," Xi Li said in a low voice.

Beside him, Xi Chi said discontentedly, "That Fang Xingyun was really too useless, to actually fall for Li Luo's hidden trick."

If not for Li Luo's nightmare technique that cut Fang Xingyun down to the seventh rank, the ultimate victor of this battle might still have been uncertain.

Xi Li said blandly: "It's not entirely useless. At the very least, he forced out this hidden trump card from Li Luo. It seems that if I want to fight this Li Luo in the future, my essence blood and strands of hair absolutely cannot be obtained by him."

That nightmare technique is very bizarre, but the conditions to cast it are also extremely stringent. As long as one is prepared, Li Luo won't even be able to find anything to cast it with.

"Actually, such an unparalleled prodigy has tremendous potential. It's best not to provoke him. But Xi Chan is essential to patching the flaws in my Mi Fa. If I give her up, it's equivalent to cutting off my future path. So if this Li Luo is willing to negotiate with me, I can pay a price that satisfies him." Xi Li took a deep breath and said with a shadowed gaze.

Xi Chi opened his mouth, but could only nod sullenly, because he also understood that Xi Li's choice was the most rational one.

No matter how much he disliked Li Luo, he had to admit that Li Luo was not easy to provoke. Right now he was only at the Unparalleled second rank, yet he could already defeat a seventh-rank titled marquis expert. No one could say how far he would go in the future. Moreover, behind him stood a Li Tianwang lineage. Although Li Li Tianwang's branch was far away in Outer Shenzhou and could not reach their Xi family, such a powerful enemy was naturally best left unprovoked if possible.

While the various Holy Academy teams outside were boiling over this result, inside the Crossing-Space, Li Luo once again drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

He still chose to aid Guo Guo Jiufeng first, using a pincer attack to defeat that sixth-rank titled marquis expert from the Thunder Fire Shenzhou.

Then, with his hands free, Guo Guo Jiufeng went to reinforce Wang Xu, who had fallen into a disadvantageous position.

Thus, the entire situation began to tilt noticeably in favor of the Eastern Region Shenzhou.

When the advantage expanded to the point of being irreversible, Li Luo's figure finally swooped down toward the direction where Lv Qing'er was. The ice covering the body of the latter and that sixth-rank titled marquis expert was rapidly melting.

Clearly, this Zi Wo Feng Yin had already reached its limit.

Lv Qing'er's slightly heavy eyelids slowly opened at this moment, but in her Binghu-like eyes, a hint of worry surged.

Although she did not know what had happened outside, she understood that during her Zi Wo Feng Yin, this battle must have reached some conclusion.

So, would Li Luo win?

If he failed, were his injuries still alright?

Clutching the anxiety in her heart, she raised her gaze, and then saw a handsome face with a brilliant smile reflected in those ice-blue eyes.

Lv Qing'er was slightly stunned for a few breaths, then on that beautiful face with a hint of frosty air, a delighted smile unconsciously emerged.

Looking at the delighted smile on Lv Qing'er's face at this moment, Li Luo was also taken aback, then sighed: "Qing'er, when you smile, you look like your old self."

After this meeting, the relationship between the two seemed to have instead grown much more distant.

Lv Qing'er's beautiful smile slightly faded, her voice gradually returning to indifference: "That naive and childish Miss from before, there's nothing worth reminiscing about."

Li Luo was helpless. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed. The qi and blood he had been suppressing within his body suddenly erupted—that was the internal injury caused by the backlash, which he had been forcefully suppressing before, and now it finally burst forth.

Indeed, the backlash from cutting a seventh-rank was extremely severe.

Puchi—

A mouthful of black blood sprayed from Li Luo's mouth. An intense wave of dizziness struck his mind, and his body tilted forward, about to collapse.

Li Luo's sudden vomiting of blood startled Lv Qing'er. Cold energy surged around her, freezing that black blood entirely. Then, looking at Li Luo whose body was swaying and about to fall, she hesitated for a moment, but still hurriedly reached out to support him. At the same time, she used her fragrant shoulder to prop up Li Luo's head, not minding the black blood stains at the corner of his mouth landing on her snow-white skin, bringing a stinging burning sensation.

"Li Luo, Li Luo, are you alright?" she called out anxiously.

Li Luo tiredly lifted his eyelids, enduring the intense pain within his body, and forced a smile: "At least you're not in that cold, icy manner anymore."

Lv Qing'er pressed her lips together. She helped Li Luo kneel to the ground, her gaze fixed on his exceptionally pale face, and an inexpressible complexity welled up in her heart like a tide.
