Shen Ya, Shi Kong, and the other two shot out almost simultaneously. Moreover, the direction of their attack perfectly blocked Li Luo’s retreat, clearly a premeditated move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, facing the four-man siege, Li Luo seemed to make no move, standing in place and letting the four attack him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attacks from Shen Ya and the others landed on him, then passed right through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo’s figure gradually dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s an illusion!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Ya’s expression changed, filled with anger and shock. So this Li Luo standing in front had been a fake all along!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This must be that Bai Meng’s ability, right? Truly annoying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch out, don't get separated!\" Shen Ya shouted in a low voice. As long as the four of them stayed united, even Li Luo would have to pay a price if he wanted to fight four against one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as his voice fell, he suddenly felt a blinding, intense light shoot toward him, causing him to squint his eyes reflexively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, in the next instant, Li Luo’s figure flashed out from the front, and he slashed down directly with his blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Ya was startled and hurriedly channeled his Resonant Power to meet the attack with all his might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when his longsword collided with the opponent’s blade light, it passed right through again. This strike felt as if he had slashed at empty air, causing the blood and Qi in his body to churn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, another illusion?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Ya’s face turned livid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Shen Ya began to notice that more and more intense light was shooting down from the surrounding dense forest, and with every beam of light, a figure of Li Luo would appear and attack rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a few short breaths, Shen Ya and Shi Kong were horrified to discover that over a dozen Li Luos had appeared all around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is this possible? How can that Bai Meng make illusions to this extent?\" one of the Viceroy’s team members said, terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Kong’s expression was ugly. He endured the stinging pain in his eyes and looked toward where a beam of light was shooting from, only to discover a pile of water condensed there, as if forming a water mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water mirror reflected the intense light, projecting Li Luo’s figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s Li Luo’s Water Resonance power! He took advantage of our inattention earlier to use his Water Resonance to form water mirrors, hanging them everywhere. He uses the water mirrors to reflect the illusions created by Bai Meng, thereby expanding their scale. This place... has already been set up as an array by him!\" Shi Kong said rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful, one of these illusions must be his real body!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need to say this; Shen Ya and the other two knew it as well. They immediately unleashed their Resonant Power, turning it into streaks of sword light and spear radiance, shattering all the Li Luo figures rushing at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as these illusions dispersed, a continuous stream of \"Li Luos\" appeared, rushing forward one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expressions of Shen Ya and the other two grew increasingly ugly. Was Li Luo trying to exhaust them with these illusions? But they dared not let these illusions get close; otherwise, if Li Luo’s real body were hidden among them and suddenly struck, who could block it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, the three of them became increasingly disheveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as they were struggling to clear away the \"Li Luo illusions,\" they failed to notice that water was gradually seeping out from the mud beneath their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch your feet!\" At one moment, when Shen Ya felt a chill at the soles of his feet, he scanned the ground and shouted urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as the shout fell, the ground beneath their feet suddenly turned into a quagmire, and their legs sank in instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, Li Luo used his Water Resonance to dissolve the ground!\" Shi Kong roared. But what puzzled him was how Li Luo’s Water Resonance could dissolve the ground so quickly, and the silent, stealthy feeling was as if he also possessed Earth Resonance power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Powerful Resonant Power erupted from the four of them, directly shattering the quagmire as they tried to break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just at this moment, green light flashed within the mud, and tree vines roared out like green pythons, entangling the four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Ya and the others hurriedly slashed at the vine-pythons, but the attack was too sudden. In the end, one team member was caught off guard, directly entangled by the vines, and amidst his screams, he was dragged into the quagmire and instantly went silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three were even more horrified at the sight and hurriedly used all their strength to dodge and retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in doing so, their formation became scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Retreat! Get out of this area!\" Shen Ya shouted sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this very moment, he finally realized how difficult Li Luo was to deal with; the way he utilized these two types of Resonance Arts made him impossible to guard against.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Kong and the other Viceroy team member heard this and retreated without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this point, wanting to retreat was no longer up to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An incoming \"Li Luo illusion\" suddenly raised a hand, and several light orbs shot out, exploding right in front of a Viceroy team member, with brilliant light erupting in the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Viceroy team member let out a miserable scream, eyes squeezed shut, but the long spear in his hand was wrapped in Fire Resonance power, sweeping horizontally in front of him in an attempt to block Li Luo’s advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was useless. A blade light slashed down furiously, with water radiance spinning at high speed on it. One strike landed, directly knocking the spear away, while the hilt of the blade slammed heavily into the member’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The member let out a muffled groan and collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Li Luo appeared and dealt with another member, a thunderous sound suddenly rang out. Shi Kong was seen holding a long spear, his body like lightning, the spear radiance in his hand like a dragon, roaring in like a wild thunderbolt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Shi Kong’s surprise attack, Li Luo smiled and raised his palm, Wood Resonance power surging out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Green Jade Entangling Hand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A green wood python roared out, colliding with Shi Kong’s spear radiance. Green light and wood chips flew, but the violent Thunder Resonance power could not penetrate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A streak of green light flashed out, striking Shi Kong’s body with tricky, ruthless force, the fierce power knocking him flying backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Kong’s expression was ugly. Previously in Tian Shu County, although he had lost to Li Luo, it was only because he couldn't match the terrifying penetrating power of Li Luo’s arrow. But this head-on collision made him realize that the current Li Luo was beginning to crush him in every aspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, thinking about this was useless now, because Li Luo had already turned his target toward him, clearly intending to take the opportunity to eliminate him. Once he fell here, the Viceroy’s team would be left with only Shen Ya as a lone survivor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Kong’s figure retreated rapidly, like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Shen Ya clearly realized Li Luo’s intention. Golden Resonant Power erupted from his body, and the longsword in his hand condensed an extremely sharp Resonant Power. He himself became like a streak of golden light, rapidly stabbing toward Li Luo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Shi Kong was retreating rapidly, he suddenly saw fluorescent Resonant Power sweeping over from the side like pollen. The fluorescence reflected in his pupils, appearing like a bewitching butterfly flapping its wings, causing a brief blankness in Shi Kong’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thunder Resonance power circulating in his body roared at this moment, jolting Shi Kong awake. The bewitching butterfly before his eyes no longer existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s Bai Meng!\" Shi Kong’s expression changed drastically, because at this moment he saw Bai Meng under a large tree not far away, flashing a sweet smile at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, stop looking. That’s the girl from our team; your team only has sweaty men.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he discovered Bai Meng, a laugh reached his ears from the side. At the same time, out of the corner of his eye, Shi Kong saw a fist slamming down heavily, hitting the back of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intense pain shot through the back of Shi Kong’s head, and then his vision began to darken rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before losing consciousness completely, he heard Li Luo’s laughter: \"You failed again this time. It’s okay, keep trying next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, amidst extreme grief and indignation, Shi Kong fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having dealt with Shi Kong, Li Luo turned around. He looked at Shen Ya, the only Viceroy team captain still standing on the field, a smile appearing on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard you like to use numbers to bully the few the most?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo’s dual blades pointed diagonally at the ground, and Bai Meng’s figure also appeared behind Shen Ya. Looking at Shen Ya’s somewhat gloomy expression, his smile grew even wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, I like that too...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(One chapter today. I’ve been in Beijing for meetings these past two days, so updates are a bit unstable.)\u003C\u002Fp>",1560,"2026-06-20T03:27:18.369Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","ac7890b37b9cab894be397d6044eaa53c8fe58f141da9e15ec24b039600a7016","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-174","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-172",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fking-of-all-manifestations-cover.jpg"]
