Chapter 206: Cyan Gang Wind
Whoo! Whoo!
The cyan gang wind swept out like wisps of silk and threads, its somewhat shrill whistling echoing within the banquet hall, causing many people's expressions to subtly tighten.
Every gaze was fixed on those young figures within the curtain of phase force light.
The cyan gang wind swept over, directly enveloping all of those figures within it.
Senior Zhu Zhu Xuan's expression turned solemn; crimson phase force rose from his body like flames, burning fiercely and radiating intense heat.
Lower eighth-grade Fire Phase.
Being able to become the captain of the strongest team in the Two Star House of the Sacred Mystic Star Academy, Senior Zhu Zhu Xuan's strength and talent were beyond doubt.
He truly did possess the capital for such confidence and dominance.
Behind him, Ye Ye Qiuding, Mo Ling, Duze Duze Beixuan, Wang Wang Hejiu and others also rapidly circulated their phase force, shielding their bodies, preparing to receive the baptism of the cyan gang wind.
Whoosh!
And the instant the cyan gang wind swept past their bodies, Senior Zhu Zhu Xuan and the others' expressions all shifted slightly, because they felt that the gang wind seemed to possess some ability to pierce through phase force—clearly they had phase force protection around them, yet a strand of gang wind still pierced through, sweeping directly across the surface of their bodies.
Sizzle!
A bloody tear ripped open across every competitor's skin surface, the cut smooth, fresh blood immediately seeping out.
This cyan gang wind was clearly more troublesome than they had imagined.
Yet no one wavered because of it; those able to enter this venue could absolutely be counted as true young elites, naturally they would not choose to give up over a mere mishap.
Li Luo turned his head to glance at the wound beneath the torn clothing on his chest, paying it no heed.
"What an overbearing cyan gang wind."
He muttered softly; this cyan gang wind released by Yu Yu Hongxi had clearly been suppressed and weakened through many layers, yet even so, it could still easily pierce through their phase force protection—one could see how fierce the true cyan gang wind must be.
Moreover, right now, this was only the beginning.
Whoo!
The cyan wind swept forth in an unending stream, penetrating everyone's phase force defenses through every gap, stabbing straight toward their flesh.
At the start, everyone's situation was still manageable, barely able to hold on, but as time passed and more and more cyan gang wind swept in, everyone began to look increasingly wretched.
Fresh blood seeped from every single person's body.
Some began to have their footsteps forced back step by step by the cyan gang wind.
And if one retreated beyond the range of the phase force light curtain, it meant immediate elimination.
Among the many challengers, Senior Zhu Zhu Xuan, Ye Ye Qiuding and these powerful individuals were all at the very front; they could still stabilize their forms at this moment—this was the advantage brought by their formidable strength.
Others, whose strength was at the second stage of the Phase Master realm, could not remain so composed and began to retreat.
Li Luo was also retreating.
Then he noticed that a few steps ahead of him, Duze Duze Beixuan and Wang Wang Hejiu were also retreating step by step; the two of them, covered in blood, looked rather wretched, and when they sensed Li Luo's gaze, they glanced back at him with a cold snort.
"Li Luo, looks like you'll be eliminated a few steps before us!" A voice squeezed through Duze Duze Beixuan's clenched teeth, carried by the wind.
Li Luo was somewhat amused and annoyed by him—look at your wretched state, and you still have the nerve to talk about me?
He couldn't be bothered with this fellow; his gaze turned forward, and he discovered that Qin Qin Zhulu's figure had actually never retreated from the very start, but the wounds on his burly, muscular body looked rather terrifying, though he had gritted his teeth and stubbornly endured them.
Qin Qin Zhulu possessed an upper eighth-grade Gold-Devouring Demon Tiger Phase; this kind of Ten Thousand Beast Phase had the power to strengthen the flesh, which should be the main reason he could endure it.
At present, in this field, those who could hold their ground without moving numbered no more than a single hand's count.
Outside the phase force light curtain, Jiang Jiang Qinge was also watching Li Luo being forced back step by step by the cyan gang wind; the Eldest Princess beside her said softly: "After all, Li Luo's and the others' phase force levels are weaker than Senior Zhu Zhu Xuan's group, which puts them at a great disadvantage."
Although this was not a direct fight, regardless, Senior Zhu Zhu Xuan and the others had a level advantage—this could not be ignored.
Jiang Jiang Qinge said: "It's still a bit too early to draw conclusions now."
The Eldest Princess chuckled softly, her phoenix eyes watching Li Luo's figure, and said: "It seems Li Luo still has some trump cards; well then, I'm rather curious..."
Jiang Jiang Qinge smiled; the Eldest Princess was indeed a very intelligent and perceptive person—merely from some of her tone, one could guess at certain things.
On the steps, Lv Qing'er was also watching Li Luo's figure, and every time the latter retreated a step, her heart would tremble; though she knew the blood covering Li Luo was only superficial wounds, she still couldn't help feeling a bit worried.
At the same time, she was also thinking—if Li Luo truly couldn't obtain a Golden Dragon Secret Key here, then she could only find a way to get one for him from somewhere else...
This kind of Golden Dragon Secret Key could only be obtained by the children of high-ranking members of the Golden Dragon Treasure House; she was calculating in her heart which high-ranking member's child would be easier to swindle...
While everyone in the banquet hall was thinking different thoughts, Li Luo in the field also began to feel the limit of what he could endure approaching, so he took a deep breath and stopped hesitating.
"Firm Body!"
Accompanying the low shout that rang out in his heart, the two phase force seeds within Li Luo's body violently trembled at this moment, phase force flowing and converging together.
Warm healing force erupted within his body, then surged into his flesh and blood; at this moment, Li Luo's body seemed to have greatly enhanced its resilience, and although the phase force radiating from his body's surface appeared to be gradually weakening, the wounds on his body were repairing at an astonishing speed.
Even if a moment ago gang wind swept past and tore out a bloody cut, the next moment the cut would be repaired by the healing force.
In an instant, Li Luo's retreating footsteps directly steadied, and then he instead took a step forward.
"Eh?"
And this sudden change on Li Luo's side also fell into the eyes of many present; they softly exclaimed in surprise, somewhat astonished that Li Luo, who was clearly only at the first stage of the Phase Master realm, could still hold his ground.
One must know that previously even some challengers at the second stage of the Phase Master realm had been forced out.
Li Luo shook off the blood droplets on his face, and bearing the howling cyan gang wind, stepped forward one step at a time, then, under the somewhat shocked gazes of Duze Duze Beixuan and Wang Wang Hejiu, actually left them behind him.
"How is that possible?!"
The two couldn't help crying out; this Li Luo was clearly a bit weaker in level than them—although his dual-phase combat power was formidable, how could he possibly advance while bearing the cyan gang wind?
Yet Li Luo had no time to pay attention to the two; he continued stepping forward step by step, his footsteps heavy, until finally he overtook Qin Qin Zhulu's figure.
Qin Qin Zhulu stared at Li Luo walking forward past his side, his eyeballs shifted, then he couldn't help licking his lips... this Li Luo truly always makes people feel surprised.
He really wanted to have a thoroughly exhilarating fight with him, to experience the wonder of dual-phase power.
Qin Qin Zhulu clenched his teeth, the phase force within his body violently trembling; faintly, it seemed as if the sound of a tiger's roar emerged, then a low growl came from his throat, and on the surface of his body there seemed to be a faintly visible golden tiger shadow.
The cyan gang wind collided with the golden tiger shadow, and faintly, it seemed as if sparks were flying.
Qin Qin Zhulu's figure also grew increasingly steady.
Li Luo's footsteps stopped on Qin Qin Zhulu's side and did not advance any further, because he could sense that the green light flickering from the mouth of the jade bottle in Yu Yu Hongxi's hand was growing increasingly violent, clearly brewing the fiercest wave of impact yet.
Whether they could obtain the Golden Dragon Secret Key would depend on this next wave...
