Chapter 162: Wind Arrow Iron Cavalry

Bind!

When Bai Doudou and Qiu Luo struck the incoming green wood, their expressions both shifted slightly, for they could feel that the green wood was exceptionally hard, and the wood-resonant power surging within it was also unusually active.

This was by no means an ordinary Green Jade Bind!

Clang! Clang!

In just a few short breaths, the green wood struck like a green python, and the two sides clashed head-on dozens of times.

Bai Doudou's figure remained motionless, her long spear spinning to shatter all the incoming green wood, while Qiu Luo appeared much more disheveled, forced to retreat continuously.

Bai Doudou glanced over, but she did not offer any assistance; instead, she tapped her toes and darted out like the wind, her sharp spear tip pointed directly at Li Luo.

To capture the bandits, first capture the king.

Seeing this, Li Luo slapped his palm out, and as green light surged, green wood coiled like a giant python, gathering all his strength to attack Bai Doudou as she attempted to close in.

At the same time, the flowers blooming on the green wood suddenly withered, as if pouring all their power into the wood itself.

Just as Bai Doudou and the others had expected, what he was using was not an ordinary Green Jade Bind; he had infused it with light-resonant power. The light shone upon the wood, causing it to become taller, stronger, and more robust, and with the aid of the light-resonant power, this Green Jade Bind was also significantly more powerful.

This was a Tiger General Art that Li Luo had been researching during this period, specifically designed to disturb and control opponents.

The green wood twisted and turned, striking toward Bai Doudou like lightning.

Looking at the green wood rapidly enlarging in her eyes, Bai Doudou did not retreat; she gripped her spear handle tightly, stepped forward, and her slender body became like an arrow drawn on a bow.

"Tiger General Art, Cry of the Wind Falcon!"

In that instant, it was as if a falcon had let out a sharp cry. As green light leaped, the spear radiance in Bai Doudou's hand burst forth, and wherever it passed, the giant python-like green wood was directly shattered from the middle.

Li Luo's expression was one of shock; this Bai Doudou was even more ferocious than he had anticipated, and his Green Jade Bind had been brutally broken by her.

Li Luo's figure retreated rapidly.

But in terms of speed, he could not outpace Bai Doudou, who possessed an upper eighth-grade wind resonance. In the blink of an eye, Bai Doudou had crossed dozens of steps, swinging her spear like a startling swan, aimed straight at Li Luo.

However, just as she swung her spear, a shadow suddenly flashed behind her, and a short blade broke through the air, wreathed in shadow-resonant power that flickered and was exceptionally sharp.

It was Xin Fu, who had been hiding for a long time, making his move.

The biting wind from behind caused Bai Doudou to frown, and she suddenly swept the spear in her hand, the green resonant power swirling with a piercing sound.

Clang!

The long spear collided with the stabbing short blade, and two powerful resonant forces erupted. Her body shook, while Xin Fu's figure was sent flying back in a disheveled state, his shadow-resonant power exploding as he quickly hid himself once more.

However, during the brief moment Xin Fu had bought, water-resonant power had already condensed on the surface of Li Luo's body, and water radiance vibrated and flowed on his twin blades.

His figure moved, and he went straight to meet Bai Doudou; he wanted to clash head-on with her to see just how strong the Life-Pattern Stage really was.

Seeing this, a look of excitement appeared in Bai Doudou's eyes; she, too, wanted to test the true level of Li Luo, who possessed dual resonances.

Both of them unleashed their full resonant power, whistling across the field like two gusts of wind. A few breaths later, the twin blades and the long spear slashed together.

Clang!

The sound of metal rang out, and resonant power surged.

Both their bodies shook; Bai Doudou retreated half a step, while Li Luo retreated several steps.

Clearly, Bai Doudou, who possessed a lower eighth-grade wind resonance and had already stepped into the Life-Pattern Stage, still held the upper hand in terms of resonant power.

But it was not over; the two attacked again the next instant, resonant power rolling as the twin blades and the long spear slashed together like lightning, sparks flying.

In just a short while, the two had clashed head-on for over a dozen rounds.

In this head-on collision, Bai Doudou was advancing step by step, while Li Luo was retreating step by step. Yet, he was never crushed by Bai Doudou's extremely sharp and swift offensive; his resonant power was not as deep as hers, but relying on the endurance of his water-resonant power, Bai Doudou was clearly unable to break through his defense for the time being.

However, this stalemate made Bai Doudou somewhat impatient. Li Luo was clearly only at the lower Flower-Planting Stage, a full level behind her, yet he had been able to tangle with her for so long.

"Wind Spiral!"

Impatient in her heart, Bai Doudou held nothing back. Spotting an opportunity, she let out a cold shout, and the wind-resonant power surged. The long spear in her hand rolled like a green dragon, carrying astonishing power as it crashed directly into Li Luo's twin blades.

Clang!

The sound of metal rang out. This time, Li Luo was sent sliding back, and even the water radiance flowing on his twin blades was forcibly scattered.

His arms throbbed with hidden pain, which made his expression solemn; this Bai Doudou was truly ferocious.

Moreover, Li Luo glanced in the direction of Qiu Luo, who had already broken free from his previous offensive and was now eyeing him like a tiger, ready to strike.

And that guy Yu Lang...

Li Luo was suddenly stunned, because he discovered that Yu Lang seemed to have been running continuously around the field since just a moment ago, and had not stopped even now, running until his tongue was lolling out and he was panting heavily.

"Gone crazy?" Li Luo was somewhat suspicious.

Vaguely, he felt that something was not quite right.

However, there was no time to think, as Bai Doudou and Qiu Luo were attacking again, the wind-resonant power whistling, swift and fierce.

And this time, he sensed a thick aura of danger.

Bai Doudou and Qiu Luo were on his left and right, like knights charging, their momentum and power reaching their peak.

Li Luo's whole body tensed, and he retreated rapidly.

Fortunately, he was not alone. At the same time, fluorescent resonant power surged from behind him, and the surrounding environment seemed to change, turning into a quagmire. From the quagmire, vines swept out, coiling toward Bai Doudou and Qiu Luo.

"Ignore it, this is Mengmeng's illusion!" Bai Doudou's gaze locked onto the retreating Li Luo as she shouted.

Although she had warned them, let alone Qiu Luo, even she herself, when first seeing the vines shooting out from the quagmire, had instinctively slowed her charging speed despite knowing it was an illusion.

As Li Luo retreated rapidly, he felt the momentum of Bai Doudou and Qiu Luo gathering; between them, it seemed as if some kind of formation had been formed, but this formation still had a flaw.

That flaw was Yu Lang.

This thought flashed through Li Luo's mind like lightning, and he immediately shouted: "Xin Fu, stop Yu Lang!"

And when his shout fell, Bai Doudou's eyes narrowed. Without hesitation, she shouted directly to Qiu Luo: "Activate!"

"Wind Arrow Iron Cavalry!"

The wind-resonant power whistled beneath the two of them. At this moment, they seemed to be galloping on iron cavalry, intending to tear apart and pierce through everything in their path.

An indescribable aura of deterrence radiated out, causing the retreating Li Luo to slow his pace.

"Captain, watch out!"

However, at this moment, Bai Mengmeng's warning voice sounded from behind, and cool fluorescent light fell from above, neutralizing that deterrent aura.

Li Luo gripped his twin blades tightly, his body taut like a bowstring.

At this time, the constantly running Yu Lang also let out a roar. His whole body radiated a steaming aura, and his speed suddenly increased inexplicably at this moment. His resonant power, which was not originally very strong, also became exceptionally sharp.

His figure shot out, and with a casual grab, a long spear fell into his hand. He stepped on the wild wind and whistled out, galloping toward where Li Luo was.

Once he joined forces with Bai Doudou and the other, it would make the trio's formation perfect, like three iron cavalry galloping, tearing everything apart.

However, just as his figure had rushed out a few steps, a shadow shot over, and a sharp short blade wreathed in shadow-resonant power pointed viciously and cunningly at Yu Lang's vital points.

Facing such an attack, Yu Lang hurriedly fought back, but even though he erupted with all his strength, he was still forced into a disheveled state by Xin Fu; after all, the gap in strength between the two was not small.

And with this delay, Yu Lang clearly missed the final opportunity to complete the formation.

Seeing this, Bai Doudou did not hesitate at all; although the formation was missing a corner, the power of her and Qiu Luo was already enough.

With the strength Li Luo had shown earlier, it was absolutely impossible for him to withstand this strike.

Two streaks of green light charged over, the long spear like a dragon.

Li Luo could clearly feel the astonishing power gathered on those two long spears, but at this moment, he was not flustered; instead, his mind became extremely clear.

His rapidly retreating footsteps suddenly stopped, and his palms gripped the twin blades tightly.

In this instant, the wonderful feeling of the two resonant forces in his body beginning to fuse under the forced suppression of Instructor Xi Chan during his previous training flashed through his mind.

It was as if a flash of inspiration had appeared.

Li Luo did not hesitate at all; he pushed off with his feet, advancing instead of retreating. His figure shot out, and the twin blades in his hands slashed directly and forcefully at the two green-light long spears that were piercing toward him.

Bai Mengmeng, who was behind, was so shocked that she couldn't help but cover her mouth.

Outside the field, Instructor Xi Chan also slightly focused her mind, resonant power surging, ready to intervene at any moment to prevent Li Luo from being severely injured.

Under the gaze of several solemn eyes on the field, the twin blades and the twin spears collided.

And it was at this very instant that the water-resonant and wood-resonant power on Li Luo's twin blades, which had originally been distinct, suddenly fused for a split second.

The resonant power on the twin blades was like boiling oil, suddenly erupting, violent, and then climbing step by step.

Li Luo grasped this fleeting change, his expression fierce as he slashed down with his twin blades.

Clang!

A piercing sound of metal rang out, exploding across the field.

The surging resonant power swept out like low, muffled thunder, rolling across the training ground.
