Chapter 1613: The Battle of Ancient Grudges

Above the Sea of Blood, Shen Shen Jinxiao stepped out from the demon heart that had transformed into a cocoon; his robes fluttered, a head of blood-red hair danced in the wind, and on his brow and between his palms, a pitch-black evil seed resided, like a demon eye, emitting a terrifying fluctuation that made one shudder with dread.

At this very moment, the oppressive pressure emanating from Shen Shen Jinxiao's body was more than a tier stronger than before.

In other words, the current Shen Shen Jinxiao... had likely truly touched the level of the King Realm.

A One-Crown King!

Li Luo's eyes grew dark; this damn thing was truly like a centipede that does not die even when dead, having been slain by him before yet able to resurrect and return, even reaching the King Realm.

Moreover, what is the situation with Sister Li Lingjing now? Has she already been swallowed by Shen Shen Jinxiao?

Killing intent surged violently in Li Luo's eyes, but then he took a deep breath, calming his worry for Li Li Lingjing in his heart; worrying now was useless; they must first defeat Shen Shen Jinxiao before they could find a chance to save Li Li Lingjing.

Very well, let this new grudge and old hatred be thoroughly settled today!

A King Realm forcibly fused together; right now, with him and Jiang Jiang Qinge joining forces, whether they win or lose remains to be seen only after they fight!

With this thought, Li Luo hesitated no more; within the "Saint Image Crystal Core" of purple-gold color appearing on his brow, a roar of an ancient heavenly dragon erupted.

Boom!

As Li Luo activated the Upper Ninth-Rank Heavenly Dragon Image, the void above his head began to shatter, with vast surging sword light sweeping out, and an ancient, mysterious sword array gradually taking shape.

That was the Hundred-Image Dragon Tooth Sword Array!

Before this, while Shen Shen Jinxiao was fusing and transforming, Li Luo had secretly brewed a killing move to guard against the unexpected.

The massive, ancient sword array surged into form, with peerless sharp sword light tearing the sky, as if capable of erasing all things in heaven and earth, and within the array, six dragon-tooth swords, sharp to the extreme, floated and sank quietly, breathing out vast sword light.

Six Dragon Teeth!

Facing Shen Shen Jinxiao who had already advanced to the King Realm, ordinary means were no longer of much use; only relying on the Peerless Art could damage him.

So Li Luo held nothing back and directly activated the Six Dragon Teeth!

Within the sword array, vast, dark returning-annihilation sword light turned into an unfathomable sword prison; sword light collided and fused deep within the sword prison, emitting a strange humming sound, as if a song of destruction.

That was the Song of King Burial of the Six Dragon Teeth!

Previously, the Fox Charm King had been slain by this very killing move of his.

But the last time he activated it, it was because of the support of the "Heavenly Dragon Array," so its power was far more fierce and domineering than this time.

However, even so, the destructive sound waves emitted drew Shen Shen Jinxiao's eyes to narrow slightly, and he spoke: "The Fox Charm King fell to this killing move of yours, didn't he? What a peerless killing art!"

"But without the support of that Heavenly Dragon Array, this art is ultimately still somewhat insufficient!"

Though he spoke thus, Shen Shen Jinxiao did not wait for Li Luo to activate this art to its extreme, but instead took the offensive first; he extended two fingers and slashed through the air.

Radiance burning with blood flames erupted from his fingertips, directly forming a blood-flame blade in the sky; countless twisted and bizarre blood patterns were inscribed on the blade, and overwhelming bloody qi filled the heavens and earth.

Upon the blood-flame blade, fluctuations of primordial power permeated.

Shen Shen Jinxiao's finger-light slashed down, and the blood-flame blade light tore through the sky, charging down at Li Luo with majestic momentum.

But Jiang Jiang Qinge, holding the Saint Phoenix Umbrella, stepped out of the void; naturally, she would not allow Shen Shen Jinxiao to interfere with Li Luo's casting of a killing move; between her white, jade-like brow, the holy Saint Image Crystal Core burst forth with brilliant bright light, and within that bright light also contained the primordial power of light.

The greatest advantage of a King Realm expert is that their own image power contains primordial power; these primordial powers will amplify the image power to an extremely terrifying degree, so King Realm experts possess absolute suppression over the Marquis Realm.

For whether or not there is the support of primordial power, those are two different levels.

But fortunately, both Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge possess Upper Ninth-Rank image natures; the Saint Image Crystal Core is an extreme manifestation of an image nature, which will help them, before reaching the King Realm, to integrate some primordial power into their own image power.

The Saint Phoenix Umbrella in Jiang Jiang Qinge's hand suddenly opened; the golden phoenix on the umbrella surface, flapping its wings, let out a phoenix cry to the heavens and actually flew out from the umbrella surface; the golden phoenix's entire body burned with Xiong Xiong's holy flames.

"Saint Phoenix Flame Wall!"

Accompanying Jiang Jiang Qinge's soft shout, the golden phoenix poured out holy flames, actually transforming into a light wall stretching a hundred li; the light wall, like a city wall, stood before them with an indestructible momentum, separating heaven and earth.

The Saint Phoenix Umbrella is a King-grade treasure, possessing primordial power itself, and it is both offensive and defensive; at this moment, under Jiang Jiang Qinge's full activation, it was clearly pushing its defense to the extreme.

The blood-flame blade light broke through the air, like a blood-red star, and crashed into the light wall.

Boom!

The energy storm raised by this instantly ravaged heaven and earth, and the Sea of Blood below was constantly evaporating.

Crack!

However, although Jiang Jiang Qinge's defense was as solid as a metal fortress, facing Shen Shen Jinxiao who had now entered the King Realm, it was clearly still somewhat insufficient; with the erosion of vast blood light, cracks constantly appeared on the light wall.

Finally, this light wall defense, sufficient to withstand a full-strength attack from a False King, after holding out for dozens of breaths, reached its limit and finally exploded with a boom, turning into countless points of light filling the sky.

The blood-flame blade light, now much dimmer, broke through the wall and slashed down at Jiang Jiang Qinge head-on.

Jiang Jiang Qinge's graceful figure retreated violently; with one hand forming a seal, vast light image power swept out; the void before her suddenly shattered, and a gigantic light giant arm actually erupted forth.

That light giant arm, like the arm of a deity, broke through the air and arrived, falling with a domineering, peerless posture.

Boom!

The light giant arm smashed into the dim blood-flame blade light; this time, it finally shattered the blade light outright; divine light poured down, extinguishing the blood flames filling the sky.

Jiang Jiang Qinge's figure floated back; light image power within her body surged like a tide, calming the trembling qi and blood within; previously, she had almost single-handedly neutralized the attack from Shen Shen Jinxiao.

However, she was not well either; in the brief moment of the clash, the consumption of her own image power was truly terrifying.

"Sister Jiang Qinge, are you alright?" Li Luo's concerned voice came from behind.

Jiang Jiang Qinge shook her head; her jade hand gripped the Saint Phoenix Umbrella tightly, and her brilliant golden eyes fiercely locked onto Shen Shen Jinxiao.

"Sister Jiang Qinge, the light giant arm you cast earlier looks somewhat familiar," Li Luo said with some confusion.

Although the energy attribute covering that giant arm was not the same, the fluctuations it emitted were exactly the same as the "Great Crystal Saint Arm" he cultivated.

Hearing his words, Jiang Jiang Qinge's porcelain-like beautiful face flushed slightly imperceptibly, and she replied softly: "It was originally modified based on your 'Great Crystal Saint Arm'; when you lent me your divine knowledge state to cultivate the Marquis Art, I also benefited, and could concurrently comprehend the arts you learned; and this 'Great Crystal Saint Arm' was modified by me into the 'Great Light Arm'."

Li Luo was somewhat shocked; Sister Jiang Qinge, while I was working hard to learn, you were actually secretly learning my Marquis Art!

Moreover, you could even modify it into an attribute suitable for your own casting?

This divine knowledge state of the Primordial Seed seems even more perverted than I imagined.

"Heh, Sister Jiang Qinge, so you can also gain benefits in the divine knowledge state; you should have said so earlier..." Li Luo said with some mockery.

Jiang Jiang Qinge's white earlobes turned slightly hot; she felt somewhat ashamed and annoyed, wishing she could use the Saint Phoenix Umbrella in her hand to fiercely knock this fellow on the head; at a time like this, he still had the mood to make these jokes.

And at this moment, blood flames surged forward; Shen Shen Jinxiao held the demon banner, with a sea of blood flames behind him burning the void; he stared coldly at the two of them, and a grim voice rang out: "You are both on the verge of death, yet still showing off here?!"

"Shen Gou, stop yapping and listen to me play a tune!"

Li Luo let out a cold sneer, his hands suddenly forming a seal; within the myriad-faced Dragon Fang Sword Array, an endless ocean of Returning Annihilation Sword Light poured forth. Amidst billions of collisions, the sword light emitted a mysterious sound, these tones gathering together as if composing a song of destruction.

The myriad-faced Dragon Fang Sword Array, Six Dragon Fangs.

The Song of the Burial King!

The song of destruction swept across heaven and earth, and wherever it passed, all fell into utter silence.
