Chapter 1592: Li Luo's Move

The sudden arrival of powerful reinforcements caused the entire South Wind City to boil over at this moment, with all the various factions and citizens within the city staring at the scene in utter shock.

Even the leaders on the city walls were stunned into a daze for quite a while by this scene.

Simply because the scale of these reinforcements was far too powerful.

And was all of this brought about by Li Luo?

That young man back then, who had striven to maintain House Luolan Mansion under the covetous gazes of all the various factions—now, just what heights had he reached?

"Gulp."

Duze Duze Beixuan's eyes were filled with shock, yet his face went somewhat pale as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, because he recalled how when Li Luo was at the Sacred Phoenix Star Academy, he had targeted him in many ways. Back then, the Duze Mansion had even been constantly at odds with House Luolan Mansion, fighting over territory and interests.

Duze Duze Beixuan had always believed that during the Mansion Sacrifice, their Duze Mansion would surely participate in carving up House Luolan Mansion, and at that time, he would certainly humiliate this Li Luo whom he had always found disagreeable.

But in the end, the result of the Mansion Sacrifice made his eyes pop out of his head.

Duze Yan, who had always been targeting House Luolan Mansion, had actually chosen at a critical moment to grant House Luolan Mansion a crucial protection.

The relationship of enemies had been transformed into friendly forces by Duze Yan.

At that moment, Duze Duze Beixuan felt that his previous actions of targeting Li Luo had made him seem like a clown.

And conversely, the House House Jinque, which had previously maintained close relations with House Luolan Mansion, had chosen betrayal during the Mansion Sacrifice. In the end, it was Duze Yan himself who stepped in to intercept House House Jinque's Mansion Master Si Qing—otherwise, once this Marquis-level powerhouse had been allowed to reach House Luolan Mansion's headquarters, the final outcome of the Mansion Sacrifice might well have changed.

After the Mansion Sacrifice, upon learning of Duze Yan's choice, Duze Duze Beixuan had actually expressed strong opposition. He had even tried to seek his sister's support at the time, since he knew that Duze Duze Honglian and Jiang Qing'e had always been at odds. But to his great surprise, Duze Duze Honglian had actually chosen to agree.

Duze Duze Beixuan had always harbored some lingering resentment over this, but when today's scene appeared, he suddenly understood that between himself and his father and sister, there indeed seemed to be an enormous gap in vision.

"Old man, sister, it seems your choice back then was the right one. Li Luo truly is a true pride of heaven. Making an enemy of him is the most foolish act." Duze Duze Beixuan suddenly said in a low voice, his words filled with thick worship.

It was hard to imagine—if their Duze Mansion had chosen to add insult to injury during the Mansion Sacrifice, then when they saw the scene before their eyes now, how utterly desperate they would feel inside.

Duze Yan's cold, stern face grew slightly strange. When he had stepped in back then, it was purely because he had clashed with Li Taixuan many times yet suffered crushing defeats, which had given rise to some inexplicable shadow deep in his heart.

He had simply felt that Li Taixuan and Dantai Lan would not die so easily in the Wang Hou battlefield, and if he had participated in the attack on House Luolan Mansion at that time, when those two returned in the future, it would likely not end well for him.

As for being optimistic about Li Luo... who the hell knew that the little brat with the empty phase back then would, in just a few short years, grow to this step?

Beside him, Duze Duze Honglian's bright red lips also twitched slightly. She hadn't thought that much either—it was just that this foolish little brother had always assumed she held deep hatred toward Jiang Qing'e, yet he had no idea that that complicated emotion was clearly a kind of... worship born from refusing to admit defeat.

She would actively stir up competition with Jiang Qing'e at the academy, yet she didn't want to see Jiang Qing'e truly come to harm.

So when Duze Yan suddenly changed his stance and chose to help House Luolan Mansion, deep in her heart, she had been the most delighted.

Still, it had to be said that by a stroke of luck, it had led their Duze Mansion onto the right path.

"If that House House Jinque Mansion Master Si Qing knew about this, I'm afraid every day from now on would be filled with sleepless nights and loss of appetite, right?" Duze Duze Honglian felt some schadenfreude inside. Originally, House House Jinque would have been House Luolan Mansion's greatest friendly force, and Li Luo's nature was not that of a cold-hearted person. With this bond of loyalty, House House Jinque's future in the Great Xia would have been rock-solid.

But unfortunately... now it was all gone.

And while the three members of the Duze Mansion were feeling gratified over their choice back then, Yu Lang's reaction on the other side was even more intense. The short blade in his hand, stained with blood, slipped from his grasp and clattered to the ground. His eyes went unfocused as he staggered back two steps and collapsed into Bai Bai Doudou's arms.

"What's wrong with you? Are you alright?" Bai Bai Doudou asked with concern.

Then she heard Yu Lang's continuously trembling muttering: "Damn it, he's so damn handsome!"

His voice was filled with emotions like agitation, distress, excitement, jealousy, and so on—so complex it left one with mixed feelings.

Bai Bai Doudou was utterly speechless, wishing she could shove him away.

On the city wall, among the many who were shocked, Pang Pang Qianyuan and Lan Lan Lingzi couldn't help but break into smiles. The latter's gaze turned to the woman beside Li Luo who had a layer of king's crown atop her head, and he cupped his hands in a smile: "So it is the Branch Leader of Li Qingying of the Dragon Scale Branch of Li Li Tianwang's lineage. On behalf of the Academy Alliance, I offer my thanks in advance to Li Li Tianwang's lineage for traveling thousands of miles to come to our aid."

As fellow King-realm powerhouses on the Outer Shenzhou, Lan Lan Lingzi had clearly met Li Li Qingying before.

Li Li Qingying gave Lan Lan Lingzi a slight smile and said, "Vice Principal Lan Lan Lingzi is too kind. The reason our Li Li Tianwang's lineage has mobilized in such force this time is entirely due to the single-handed efforts of Branch Leader Li Luo."

"Branch Leader Li Luo?"

Pang Pang Qianyuan and Lan Lan Lingzi were both taken aback, looking at Li Luo with some surprise. They knew what this title represented—it meant that Li Luo, at such a young age, had actually become the Branch Leader who wielded the highest authority in Li Li Tianwang's lineage?!

This was an achievement that even Li Taixuan back then had not reached.

No wonder Li Li Tianwang's lineage was willing to exert such effort.

Boom!

And while the people here were talking, the Four Evil Kings in the distant horizon also experienced some emotional fluctuation due to this sudden external aid. However, once they confirmed that only one King-realm powerhouse had come to reinforce, they recovered.

In this kind of situation, only King-realm powerhouses could change the outcome.

The other side had three King-realm powerhouses, while they had all four Evil Kings deployed—still holding the advantage.

So the next moment, all four Evil Kings simultaneously erupted with tremendous roars. Immediately, the malevolent energy between heaven and earth surged, and countless swarms of Other-class creatures poured out from the malevolent energy like tides, once again fearlessly charging toward South Wind City.

This time, the Four Evil Kings no longer held back. They stepped into the air, each employing their own methods, and immediately four streams of heaven-destroying, earth-shattering malevolent energy directly shattered the void, pressing down toward South Wind City first.

The moment the Other-class creatures moved, it immediately made the atmosphere in South Wind City tense. Intense drumbeats sounded continuously, echoing in every corner of South Wind City.

Seeing this, Pang Pang Qianyuan and Lan Lan Lingzi's faces turned solemn. Not daring to be careless, they took the lead and shot up into the sky. Vast amounts of heaven and earth energy gathered, and king's crowns appeared above their heads as the power of origin surged out in mighty torrents.

"Branch Leader Li Qingying, please join us in striking to intercept the Four Evil Kings!" Pang Pang Qianyuan said in a deep voice.

"Alright."

Li Li Qingying naturally agreed.

The three stepped into the air, with three king's crowns atop their heads cascading down countless pure currents. The power of origin churned mightily, transforming into numerous heaven and earth phenomena in the void behind them.

Boom!

The three struck out, intercepting the offensive from the Four Evil Kings. As heaven and earth trembled, the Fox Charm King—with her exposed clothes and alluring figure—let out a coquettish laugh, transformed into a black light, and whistled toward the walls of South Wind City.

Pang Pang Qianyuan's brow furrowed—the other side was trying to split off one Evil King to break into South Wind City and cause slaughter.

And on the city wall, the crowd also changed color one after another. An Other-class King was a dimensional reduction strike against them—if they truly let the Fox Charm King charge in, they would likely be wiped out in an instant.

However, just as everyone was bracing themselves, the purple-gold giant dragon in mid-air outside South Wind City erupted with a deafening dragon roar, and then its massive dragon claw suddenly struck out.

The dragon claw, sharp as a divine weapon, tore through the void. A dragon roar emanated from the void rift, and the next instant, thick, brilliant divine light swept out, wrapping around the sharp dragon claw.

That was the Three Dragons Town Demon Divine Light!

Six Ten-Pillar Golden Platforms flowing with different phase power attributes materialized, devouring heaven and earth energy, and finally all of it reinforced the Heavenly Dragon's body.

But this was not yet over, because in the next instant, wondrous crystalline light could be seen spreading from the dragon claw. Within that crystalline light, it seemed as if hundreds of millions of crystal sigils were flowing, and finally, in just a brief moment, they transformed into a Holy Crystal Arm Armor atop the dragon claw.

The Holy Crystal Arm Armor was extremely resplendent, inscribed with countless ancient patterns. A kind of heaven-shaking, earth-moving fluctuation swept out like a tide.

A top-grade, Si Si Tianming-tier Marquis-class art, Great Crystal Saint Arm!

This was the Si Si Tianming-tier Marquis-class art previously gifted by Wang Xuanjin. Under Li Luo's repeated bitter cultivation, it had finally been mastered and now put to use.

Drawing on his own strength of the unrivaled Upper Sixth Grade, combined with the power of the Dragon Blood Retrograde Art, the Three-Dragon Heavenly Banner Canon, and the Great Crystal Saint Arm, Li Luo's probing claw could truly be said to possess the might of shattering heaven and destroying earth.

"Get out of my way!"

The Heavenly Dragon Li Luo had become let out a roar, its dragon claw tearing the heavens, already like a mountain, slamming viciously toward the Fox Charm King that was trying to break past the interception of Pang Pang Qianyuan's three and force its way into South Wind City.
