Chapter 338: The Most Poisonous Beating

Clang.

As the words of the captain in green fell, his two companions beside him also drew their weapons, their eyes casting malicious gazes toward them.

Facing the hostile stares of the other party, Li Luo smiled and shook his head, saying, "Your attitude is poor; I don't want to provide relief."

The captain in green shook his head and said, "Why bring trouble upon yourself? Looking at the Golden Dragon badges on your chests, you are from the Great Xia Golden Dragon Treasury, right? Great Xia's strength is not considered weak, so why is your team's strength so poor?"

Lu Qinger's eyes were cold. She glanced at the three people opposite and said, "Are you from the Snow Wolf Kingdom's Golden Dragon Treasury?"

The captain in green smiled and nodded, saying, "I am Ji Xun of the Snow Wolf Kingdom, and these two are my teammates."

"Three, actually I do not wish to fight you. If you are willing, we can join forces instead. Of course, the premise is that eighty percent of the Dao Gold obtained from here on out must be given to us."

"In return, we will also provide you with corresponding protection."

Lu Qinger's pretty face was icy, while Li Luo sighed, "Giving you eighty percent? You lot are darker and more ruthless than loan sharks."

"And..."

"Your little team has one person at the first transformation of the Resonance Transformation Stage and two at the third stripe of the Pattern Birth Stage. Brother, do you really think you are much higher than us? You even have the face to charge such expensive protection fees."

Hearing Li Luo's mockery, the captain named Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and said indifferently, "Isn't it enough to deal with you?"

"Enough to collect your father's corpse!"

This time, before Li Luo could speak, a violent shout exploded like a thunderclap. At the same time, an astonishingly fierce aura erupted, and Li Luo saw a crimson figure shoot out like a fierce tiger in the mountains, the heavy spear in his hand carrying an extremely violent force as it thrust directly toward Ji Xun.

Where the spear light passed, the residual snow was completely melted.

It was Qin Zhulu.

This person was clearly much more violent in temperament than Li Luo; he didn't say a word of nonsense and just started fighting right away.

Roar!

Watching the violent offensive rushing toward him, a look of surprise could not help but flash across Ji Xun's face. Clearly, the baleful aura contained within the other party's resonance power exceeded his expectations.

"So it's an eighth-grade Myriad Beast Resonance; no wonder he's so wild!"

Ji Xun gave a cold snort. Resonance power with such an astonishing baleful aura was naturally not something an ordinary Myriad Beast Resonance could achieve, but even if you have an eighth-grade resonance, you are still only at the third stripe of the Pattern Birth Stage!

Ji Xun took a step forward, and the willow-leaf blade in his hand hummed and vibrated. Then, a gale swept up, and wisps of wind blades wrapped directly around the blade's edge.

He slashed out, and it seemed as if flowing wind were sweeping through; the surrounding trees were snapped in half, the broken surfaces as smooth as mirrors, and the snowy ground was torn into deep furrows.

Clang!

The attacks from both sides collided in the next instant, and the violent resonance power swept out, turning into a sky full of wind and snow.

Then, both sides saw Ji Xun's body shake as he retreated two steps, while Qin Zhulu's burly figure was also knocked backward, his feet stepping onto the ground one by one, leaving deep footprints.

Clearly, Qin Zhulu was still at a disadvantage; after all, the other party had a fairly obvious advantage in resonance power level.

However, his eyes became increasingly fiery because of this, his body trembled with excitement, and the baleful aura rising from his whole body became more and more intense.

Ji Xun stared at Qin Zhulu and smiled faintly, "What an overbearing 'Devouring Gold Demon Tiger Resonance'. If you could reach the fifth stripe, I fear I really might have capsized in the gutter today, but the third stripe... is still lacking quite a bit."

"You must be the strongest in this team, right? If I deal with you, I suppose you all should be a bit more obedient, right?"

Lu Qinger gave a cold snort and was just about to speak, but Li Luo interrupted solemnly, "You guessed right, Old Lu is indeed the strongest in our team."

"Old Lu, I'll leave him to you; hold on for a bit longer."

Qin Zhulu glanced at Li Luo. It was clear that he was very satisfied with Li Luo's words—not because he was satisfied that Li Luo called him the strongest, but because he was satisfied that Li Luo had handed the strongest opponent, Ji Xun, over to him.

Although there was a high probability he couldn't beat him, it didn't matter; as long as there was a fight, that was enough. Anyway, the outcome was nothing more than two possibilities: killing someone or being killed.

Roar!

Qin Zhulu stomped his heavy spear into the ground, and resonance power surged wildly over his body. Golden tiger patterns began to emerge on the surface of his skin, and a faint tiger roar emanated from within his body.

The pupils in his eyes gradually transformed into tiger pupils emitting a grim, fierce aura.

The strength of that baleful aura was enough to make people look on in awe.

With a roar, his body shot out again, pouncing toward where Ji Xun was like a fierce tiger.

Ji Xun narrowed his eyes and said, "Guo Xiang, Xu Ling, leave the other two to you; I will deal with this one."

"Haha, no problem, Captain. We will try our best to finish those two off before you finish on your side," both of Ji Xun's teammates laughed.

The two of them were at the strength of the third stripe, while Li Luo and Lu Qinger were at the third stripe and first stripe respectively; there was clearly still a gap in strength between the two sides.

Ji Xun nodded. Since there was an obvious gap in strength, he was not worried about his teammates' side.

Cyan wind resonance power surged from within his body, the wind whistled, and his toes even began to float slightly. Then, his figure turned and he swept toward an open space to the side.

Qin Zhulu pursued him violently. Amidst the tiger roars, the spear light was like a rainstorm, and the astonishing power even caused the air to explode.

Ji Xun flicked his wrist, and the wind resonance power whistled. Within the gale, wind blades roared, directly slashing all those spear lights to pieces.

"While there is still time, I'll play with you," he said with a faint smile.

"Or, do you want to make a bet with me to see whether my companions finish their battle faster, or if we finish here faster?"

Qin Zhulu's whole body was surging with a baleful aura, and the golden tiger patterns on his body became increasingly bright. Hearing this, the corners of his mouth slowly curled into a mocking smile.

"No matter how fast you are, I feel that those two companions of yours will be faster than you."

He bared his gleaming white teeth.

Ji Xun's eyes narrowed, and just as he was about to sneer, Qin Zhulu had already pounced over, carrying a baleful aura; his fearless offensive was sharp and imposing.

At the same time, the two people named Guo Xiang and Xu Ling also approached Li Luo and Lu Qinger from left and right. Both of their gazes were mostly filled with amazement as they sized up the girl before them.

"Old Xu, leave this girl to me to deal with; the money you owe me will be written off," the young man named Guo Xiang said, winking at his companion.

Although they didn't dare to do anything blatant in this Golden Dragon Dao Field, they wouldn't be caught for taking some liberties while fighting.

Hearing this, Xu Ling cursed, "You're getting a bargain, kid."

"Don't play for too long; finish it early to avoid attracting others."

"I'll test this kid's level first."

He cast a sharp gaze toward Li Luo. This guy's smiling appearance was annoying; what was the point of a man being so good-looking?

He would have to stomp on that face a few more times later to relieve his inner mood.

Clang!

Xu Ling lowered his palms, and sharp claws actually shot out from his sleeves, flowing with a grim, cold glint. At the same time, resonance power emanated from his body.

That resonance power carried the baleful aura unique to the Myriad Beast Resonance, and at the same time, it flowed with an icy chill; faintly, it seemed to form the shadow of a white wolf.

This was a seventh-grade Snow Wolf Resonance.

It could be seen that this Xu Ling's strength was not weak; even in the two-star academy of the Saint Profound Star Academy, he could be considered mid-tier.

He stared at Li Luo, not appearing too careless; after all, the other party was also at the third stripe of the Pattern Birth Stage, with strength similar to his own, so maintaining some caution was necessary.

However, even if he ended up in a stalemate with the other party, as long as Guo Xiang finished the battle early, the situation would be completely stabilized.

"This friend, refusing our captain is really very unwise."

Xu Ling smiled faintly, and he did not wait for Li Luo's answer. In the next instant, the wind and snow suddenly swirled, and his figure was like a white wolf, pouncing straight at Li Luo.

His claws danced, as if the cold air were congealing.

Li Luo looked at the white shadow shooting toward him, wrapped in a cold chill. Two blades flashed out from his hands, and water-light resonance power flowed, forming high-speed flowing water radiance on the blades, vibrating the air.

He stepped down, his figure also shot out, and he met Xu Ling head-on.

Seeing this, a smile appeared at the corner of Xu Ling's mouth. Water Radiance Art? What a common and trashy resonance art.

On his claws, the resonance power emitting a chill rapidly condensed, turning into a layer of ice crystals that covered the sharp claw blades, with even a faint blue light flickering on them.

"Tiger General Art, Ice Wolf Fang!"

The claws thrust out violently, as if a giant wolf had opened its bloody mouth, its sharp fangs biting down. The baleful aura and the cold chill condensed together, shaking the heart.

However, facing such a flashy offensive from the other party, Li Luo's mood was very stable. The blade radiance slashed across, colliding with the sharp claws with a clang.

Clang!

A crisp sound of metal rang out.

In the next instant, Xu Ling's expression changed drastically.

Because the resonance power transmitted from the blade was so powerful that it made him feel terrified, and why was the cutting power of the water radiance flowing on the blade so astonishing? In just an instant, cracks appeared on the claws in his hands.

The hell is this a Water Radiance Art?!

The hell is this a resonance power intensity that the third stripe can achieve?!

In terms of resonance power intensity, he would believe it if someone said this guy was at the fifth stripe!

Emotions surged through his mind like lightning, and the blood in Xu Ling's body surged violently. In this instant, he realized that the person before him was very devious!

Although he didn't know how strong the person fighting the captain was, it was absolutely impossible for them to be stronger than this freak in front of him!

They seemed to have been set up this time!

A roar gathered in Xu Ling's throat, and he was about to shout to warn his two teammates, but at this very instant, a force like a hot knife through butter surged from his claws, and the claws made of cold iron directly shattered.

Before Xu Ling could retreat in terror, the figure before him had already flashed past him like lightning.

Two short blades swept across his chest like swimming fish, bringing up a spray of blood.

Xu Ling widened his eyes, his eyes full of horror. He could not believe that he had actually been defeated by the other party in just one move.

His body slowly knelt down.

Behind him, Li Luo pointed his two blades diagonally, blood dripping from the tips onto the snow. He turned around, came to Xu Ling, and squatted down, looking into the other party's eyes filled with horror.

A sigh.

"This friend, you have perfectly interpreted what is called..."

"Saying the most ruthless words, and taking the most poisonous beating."
