Chapter 1610: Battle with Shen Shen Jinxiao Again

As Shen Shen Jinxiao's sinister, murderous sneer echoed through the Lu Lan Mansion headquarters, a torrent of blood mist suddenly surged out from the black demon banner in his hand, the mist reeking of an intense, bloodthirsty stench that blotted out the sky.

As the blood mist spread, Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge immediately sensed the surrounding space subtly shifting, transforming into a domain of blood sea.

The blood sea beneath their feet churned, sending up surging waves of blood, while an icy-cold energy permeated the entire world.

"The black demon banner in his hand is a King-grade treasure. It can open up a special blood sea space, and the terrain here will work in his favor," Li Luo said, his gaze sweeping across the blood sea as he spoke to Jiang Jiang Qinge.

"That's good. I was originally worried that fighting at the Lu Lan Mansion headquarters would damage the buildings here. With this opened blood sea domain, I won't have to hold back," Jiang Jiang Qinge said, her jade hand tightly gripping the Holy Phoenix Umbrella. She had just been about to purify this blood sea, but hearing Li Luo say that, she stopped.

Li Luo couldn't help but laugh at her words, saying: "This is the only thing this Shen Shen Jinxiao has done that we can agree with so far. What's that called? A man about to die speaks kindly?"

Even though the occasion was hardly appropriate, Jiang Jiang Qinge still couldn't help being amused by him, her vivid red lips curving up into a slight arc.

"Sharp tongues won't change the fate of you two lovebirds today!"

"Jiang Jiang Qinge, you escaped my grasp back then. This time, I will definitely dig out your Bright Heart and savor it well!"

The voices of the two carried across the blood sea and reached Shen Shen Jinxiao's ears. Killing intent immediately welled up in his eyes. He said no more, and in a low voice commanded: "You two, attack together and cut them down!"

As his words fell, he had already stepped forward, waving the black demon banner in his hand. The blood sea churned, and one massive blood hand after another burst from the water, carrying surging blood energy, launching a ferocious assault on Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge.

Countless twisted runes appeared on those blood hands, while fluctuations of Origin Power radiated from them. The blood poison alone was enough to corrode and suppress-kill any peak Ninth-Grade Marquis.

The current Shen Shen Jinxiao was already at the False King realm. Combined with the "King Bone Blood Demon Banner" in his hand, his strength was absolutely terrifying.

And when Shen Shen Jinxiao struck, the Jin Jia man, whose body was as burly as a giant, also had his eyes turn blood-red at this moment. A low, inhuman growl rumbled from his throat. He stomped down, and the surface of the blood sea around him instantly collapsed into a massive void. Countless blood lines emerged on the dark-gold armor covering his body.

Boom!

Like a streak of dark-gold blood light, wrapped in terrifying physical power, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom, he charged straight at Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge to kill them.

Dark-gold fist light pulsed, shattering the void completely.

Li Li Lingjing's eerily beautiful face showed no expression, but deep within her snake-like pupils, a faint flicker stirred. She first glanced at Shen Shen Jinxiao's position. The "King Bone Blood Demon Banner" in his hand was extraordinary, personally bestowed by that Virtual Heavenly King. It possessed extremely strong defensive capabilities. With the banner protecting him, she couldn't easily turn traitor and strike from here for the moment.

After all, this kind of ambush had to be a one-hit kill.

So her slender hand, covered in black snake scales, waved, and a colossal black serpent emerged from the void, also launching an attack on Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge.

Facing the joint assault of three False Kings, Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge did not underestimate them. Jiang Jiang Qinge took the lead, darting forward. The Holy Phoenix Umbrella in her hand popped open with a bang, and on its surface, a Holy Phoenix spread its wings, letting out a clear phoenix cry.

At her smooth brow, a golden vertical mark slowly opened, and the Sacred Aspect Crystal Core emerged, instantly erupting with vast, overwhelming light-aspect power.

Countless golden traces flowed across the Holy Phoenix Umbrella in her hand, seemingly forming an unbreakable sacred shield.

Holy Phoenix Shield!

The massive blood hand shattered the void as it came, colliding with the Holy Phoenix Shield. The clash of two immense forces caused the void to continuously crumble, and the blood sea was constantly evaporated.

The Holy Phoenix Shield radiated extremely sacred light-aspect power, completely purifying the blood poison carried on those blood hands.

Roar!

But at this moment, the Jin Jia man also came crashing through the void. His burly body was like a beast of destruction. His domineering fist light shattered the void, wrapped in a torrent of spatial fragments, and smashed toward Jiang Jiang Qinge.

But before that fist light could get within a hundred zhang of Jiang Jiang Qinge, Li Luo had already stepped forward. He let out a thunderous roar, the howl containing an ear-splitting Celestial Dragon's cry.

He bore the Five Celestial Dragon Treasures within him, while his pupils transformed into Celestial Dragon pupils. His body grew taller section by section, becoming majestic and powerful. His purple-gold hair flew behind him like a waterfall. At this moment, he had clearly taken on the form of a human-shaped Celestial Dragon.

As his flesh and blood trembled, combined with his own Celestial Dragon aspect power, Li Luo's physical strength and power had likewise reached a terrifying level.

Facing the equally terrifying physical strength and power of the Jin Jia man, Li Luo had no intention of dodging his edge at all, but instead chose the most forceful direct clash.

He threw a punch. The purple-gold fist light was like a coiling Celestial Dragon's shadow, wrapped in rolling dragon might, and it slammed head-on into the dark-gold fist light flowing with blood from the Jin Jia man.

Boom boom!

Like meteorites colliding, wave after wave of shockwaves swept out. The surrounding space instantly collapsed, and the blood sea below was whipped up into violent thousand-zhang blood waves.

In just a short moment, both sides had clashed fist-light against fist-light over a hundred times.

But all the domineering fist light from the Jin Jia man was completely taken on by Li Luo.

Ah!

Seeing Li Luo dare to choose a physical clash with him, the Jin Jia man also let out a furious roar. A tide of destructive intent surged from his blood-red pupils.

"Ant, die for me!"

He let out a beast-like bellow. At the same time, a black vertical mark actually appeared at his brow, and it suddenly opened, forming a black crystal core resembling a Sound Aspect Crystal Core.

However, that crystal core was extremely sinister. Countless writhing black blood threads extended from it, spreading across the Jin Jia man's body, causing his flesh to swell once more.

Cold black light also began to emerge within the fist light he threw.

"An Extreme Evil Seed?"

Seeing this, Li Luo's gaze flickered slightly, but he was utterly unafraid. He directly activated the "Dragon's Sacred Seed" within him. The next moment, a mysterious purple-gold vertical mark appeared at his brow, then opened, revealing a purple-gold crystal core within like a divine vertical eye, radiant and resplendent.

Upper Ninth-Grade, Celestial Dragon Aspect!

At the same time, the Celestial Dragon Horn at Li Luo's waist, responding to his will, emitted a low, ancient dragon-cry sound wave. The sound wave entered Li Luo's body, causing his flesh and blood to tremble violently. Immediately, the Celestial Dragon aspect power and physical body within him were both amplified.

Li Luo stepped forward, the void beneath his feet cracking. He threw a punch. This punch's fist light was like a Celestial Dragon, directly breaking through the heavens, colliding with the fist light thrown by the Jin Jia man.

Boom!

The terrifying shockwave seemed to literally sever the blood sea below. As the void collapsed, the Jin Jia man's figure plummeted like a meteor, crashing into the blood sea and sending up a pillar of blood waves.

Li Luo had actually gained a thoroughly satisfying upper hand in a direct clash against the False King realm Jin Jia man who possessed an Extreme Evil Seed!

"So what if you're a False King? Even without the Celestial Dragon Formation, I fear nothing!"

Li Luo stood in the void. At this moment, his entire body erupted with terrifying might. The purple-gold Sacred Aspect Crystal Core at his brow let out a dragon cry. Above his head, six ten-pillar golden platforms also bloomed with countless rays of golden light.

Boom!

The void thundered. A colossal black serpent burst from the void, spewing dense black mist directly at Li Luo. From within the black mist came a hissing sound capable of seizing one's soul. That hissing could actually pierce through a powerful physical body and directly wound the mind. For a moment, Li Luo's vision even dimmed slightly.

But before Li Luo could act, a vast, overwhelming sacred rainbow of light, wrapped in Holy Flames, swept in, completely purifying and obliterating the rolling black mist and the colossal black serpent.

Boom!

The blood sea suddenly exploded apart, and a figure brimming with violent aura shot up into the sky—it was the Jin Jia man. A blood hole about a chi deep had appeared on his chest, but countless black vines actually crawled out from within the hole, writhing and rapidly filling the wound.

"I want you dead!"

But the killing intent and madness in his blood-red pupils grew even thicker, as if enraged by Li Luo. This Jin Jia man was clearly not quite normal—his mind was filled with nothing but slaughter. Perhaps this was the aftermath of refining the "Extreme Evil Seed."

"Black Gold Demon Vine, Eight Shou Yin!"

The Jin Jia figure, wrapped in overwhelming killing intent and savagery, reappeared before Li Luo like a phantom. Accompanied by his violent roar, the flesh and blood all over his body was torn apart, and countless black vines drilled out from within, finally covering both his palms entirely.

In an instant, his two palms transformed into hundred-zhang vine hands. The giant hands formed a seal and launched a terrifying counterattack against Li Luo ahead.

Li Luo's gaze sharpened slightly. He could sense how ferocious the power of this eruption was. Immediately, the "Sacred Phase Crystal Core" between his brows erupted with purple-golden light, and then he suddenly opened his mouth and spewed forth a breath of purple-golden dragon Qi flowing with origin power.

Boom!

The collision caused the void to tremble violently.

The black vine hand seal of the Jin Jia figure was continuously melted away by the dragon breath, but the black vines also rapidly grew wildly and regenerated. In the end, they actually pierced through the dragon breath, and the black vines coiled toward Li Luo.

Li Luo's face was cold and stern. Ignoring the black vines' entanglement, he clenched his palm, and the Sky Dragon Dark-Yellow Spear flashed into appearance. The spear light flickered, transforming directly into golden light, and thrust into the chest cavity of this Jin Jia figure.

The Jin Jia figure's chest cavity exploded, but no heart was to be seen within. Only black vines surged forth continuously, wrapping around the spear shaft and preventing it from going deeper.

However, the domineering phase force continuously surging out from the Sky Dragon Dark-Yellow Spear was also rapidly melting those black vines, gradually pressing toward the depths of the Jin Jia figure's chest cavity.

The Jin Jia figure let out a fierce roar, and both his palms completely transformed into vine hands, binding half of Li Luo's body.

"Good chance!"

"Green Snake!"

"I'll intercept Jiang Jiang Qinge, you help Jin Jia kill Li Luo!"

Shen Shen Jinxiao let out a sharp howl. The next moment, he waved the pitch-black magic banner in his hand, and a rolling river of blood actually flew out from within. Within the blood river, countless living beings floated, and it rolled toward Jiang Jiang Qinge, who was about to strike.

Seeing this, Li Li Lingjing behind them moved. Her slender figure darted out like a phantom, and in less than a single breath, she had already appeared behind the Jin Jia figure. She slowly tightened her grip on the Green Snake Staff of Emerald Bamboo in her hand. The Extreme Evil Wicked Seed between her brows bloomed with an eerie light, making her already bewitching cheeks at this moment even more like a Rakshasa, terrifying to behold.

Li Li Lingjing's face was cold and indifferent. She swung her staff down, killing intent surging. That terrifying force directly cracked even the void apart.

Seeing this scene, wild joy flashed in Shen Shen Jinxiao's eyes. This strike from Li Li Lingjing had clearly poured out all her strength. A staff strike with such overwhelming killing intent—even if that Li Luo possessed the body of a Sky Dragon—would surely be gravely wounded or even killed!

"Jiang Jiang Qinge, just watch helplessly as Li Luo dies right before your eyes!" Shen Shen Jinxiao's face twisted, incomparably ferocious.

While Shen Shen Jinxiao was laughing wildly, the staff shadow of Li Li Lingjing, who had poured out all her strength, rose up from behind the Jin Jia figure, and finally crashed down with a thunderous roar, smashing heavily onto... the crown of the Jin Jia figure's head.

Boom!

Flesh exploded, brains splattered everywhere.

And Shen Shen Jinxiao's wild laughter also came to an abrupt halt at that instant.
