Chapter 352: The Deeply Hidden Lin Suo

When those wisps of golden Qi between Lu Qinger's brows were sucked away by the black jade gourd, Li Luo's expression turned extremely grim; he could finally confirm that Lin Suo's target from the very beginning was not him, but Lu Qinger.

Or rather, was it the Golden Dragon Qi that Lu Qinger had obtained?

But Lu Qinger only obtained the Golden Dragon Qi after entering the Golden Dragon Dojo, yet this Lin Suo had joined before that; could he have known about this in advance?

Furthermore, by doing this, was Lin Suo not afraid of Yu Hongxi?

If he returned to the Great Xia Empire, would he even have a way to survive?

Li Luo's thoughts raced, and he vaguely sensed that there was nothing simple behind Lin Suo's actions.

However, thinking about this now was meaningless; although Li Luo did not know what scheme Lin Suo had in extracting the Golden Dragon Qi from Lu Qinger's body, nor whether this would cause her any harm, he had to take action to stop him.

The resonant power within his body surged again, and across the surface of his body, the water-light resonant power and the wood-earth resonant power flowed in distinct streams, then rapidly covered his twin blades.

Stomping his feet, his figure shot out, and a continuous stream of blade light slashed directly at Lin Suo, the sharp blade light tearing marks into the ground.

Lin Suo looked at the incoming Li Luo with an indifferent gaze and shook his head: "Seeking death."

"A mere third pattern of the Resonance Pattern Stage, even if you possess dual resonances, so what?"

He gripped his palm, and a blood-red iron rod appeared in his hand; as he swung the blood rod, blood-red resonant power sprayed out, actually transforming into clusters of blood-red plum blossoms that swirled toward Li Luo.

Li Luo looked at the swirling blood-red plum blossoms, his eyes narrowing slightly; he could vaguely sense the baleful Qi emanating from them, so he did not dare to be negligent and, without hesitation, briefly fused his two types of resonant power together.

Chi!

The blade light, carrying the dual resonant power like a surging wild wave, slashed down blade by blade; every time a blood-red plum blossom was shattered, a burst of baleful power would erupt, but relying on the dominance of his dual resonant power, Li Luo managed to forcefully resist and neutralize it.

After a few steps, the blade light pierced through the blood-red plum blossoms and slashed furiously toward Lin Suo's face with the speed of a thunderbolt.

At the same time, the four resonant power bubbles within his body shattered, and the resonant power stored within them surged out.

Dang!

The blood-red iron rod, wrapped in bloody resonant power, thrust out violently, clashing head-on with the twin blades for over a dozen rounds in an instant; yet throughout this collision, Lin Suo's figure remained motionless, like a wall, making it difficult for Li Luo to break through.

Li Luo's expression grew increasingly grave; Lin Suo's strength seemed to be even stronger than that of Zhao Jieyang, Zhu Xuan, and the others, and even now, facing his all-out attack, he still appeared to have energy to spare.

This person was hiding too deeply!

Dang!

With another head-on collision, Li Luo's figure was shaken backward, landing in a patch of forest; just as Lin Suo attempted to attack, a tiger's roar suddenly sounded faintly, and a figure shot out from a nearby tent like a fierce tiger.

A heavy spear swept across, carrying a fierce and baleful aura, bringing with it a piercing sonic boom as it slammed toward Lin Suo.

It was Qin Zhulu!

Lin Suo paused his footsteps, a trace of impatience appearing in his eyes; the blood-red resonant power on the blood-red iron rod in his hand surged, directly forming three blood rings, and then the iron rod clashed lightning-fast with the incoming Qin Zhulu.

Dang!

A violent shockwave of resonant power erupted; in that instant, Qin Zhulu's figure, which had charged in with such fierce momentum, was sent flying backward, the golden tiger patterns on his body flickering as they resisted the whistling force.

Peng!

His body snapped a large tree in half.

However, in the blink of an eye, he flipped back up; ignoring the bloodstains on his body corroded by the blood-red resonant power, his eyes turned red, and he continued to charge and kill without fear of death.

Qin Zhulu's offensive was extremely fierce; every move was a life-for-life trade, preferring to be severely injured himself just to inflict some wounds on his opponent, and Lin Suo clearly did not want to trade injury for injury, as he was the one holding the absolute advantage, so for a time, he was actually entangled by Qin Zhulu's frantic offensive.

Xiu!

And it was at this moment that, from the forest where Li Luo had retreated, a stream of light suddenly shot out at an astonishing speed, pointing directly at Lin Suo's throat.

Lin Suo's eyes narrowed; it was an arrow formed from resonant power, and its speed was quite astonishing.

Lin Suo opened his mouth, blood light surging within, and then spat out.

A blood arrow met the astonishingly fast water arrow head-on, but just as the two were about to collide, the shimmering water arrow suddenly turned, actually bypassing the blood arrow and unexpectedly grazing past Lin Suo's side.

This arrow, did it miss?

Lin Suo was stunned for a moment, but immediately thinking of something, his expression changed drastically; he hurriedly turned his head, only to see that the streaming water arrow, after passing his side, had shot with extreme precision onto the black jade gourd floating between Lu Qinger's brows.

Dang!

A crisp sound rang out, and the black jade gourd was knocked flying; although it did not shatter, it was displaced from its position.

With the black jade gourd knocked away, the bit of golden Qi dissipating from between Lu Qinger's brows suddenly soared into the sky, actually forming a golden pillar of light, within which the sound of a dragon's roar could be faintly heard.

Seeing this scene, Lin Suo's expression immediately turned grim.

Meanwhile, in the dense forest far away.

The chaotic battle also stopped at this moment because of the golden pillar of light that had suddenly risen in the rear and the faint sound of a dragon's roar.

Whether it was Zhao Jieyang or Zhu Xuan, they were all staring at that direction in astonishment.

"That direction is... the campsite?!" Zhao Jieyang's expression changed.

"That golden pillar of light is the Golden Dragon Qi?!" Gu Ying also exclaimed.

"Someone released the Golden Dragon Qi?"

Zhao Jieyang and the others all changed color, then cast furious gazes toward Zhu Xuan, shouting sharply: "Zhu Xuan, your methods are too despicable; failing to seize Lu Qinger, you actually want to release the Golden Dragon Qi?!"

"Lu Qinger's mother is the President of the Great Xia Golden Dragon Treasury; if you dare to do this, she will never let you off later!"

Zhu Xuan's expression was incomparably ugly, and he cursed angrily: "You're talking nonsense; do I not know the gravity of this? How could I possibly do such a thing? Besides, I don't understand that Golden Dragon Qi at all; what ability do I have to release it?!"

"Then did you send someone over there?!" Zhao Jieyang demanded angrily.

Zhu Xuan paused; he had indeed sent Lin Suo to sneak over, but only to control Lu Qinger and the others first, as that fellow Li Luo was over there, and that brat was full of bad ideas; he needed to guard against him sneaking away with Lu Qinger in advance.

But he absolutely did not tell Lin Suo to release the Golden Dragon Qi within Lu Qinger's body, and his words just now were indeed true; even if he had the heart, he didn't have the ability!

Seeing the speechless Zhu Xuan, Gu Ying sneered: "You really are vicious; we outsiders only wanted to follow along and mix in for some Dao Gold, but you actually want to overturn the whole pot!"

At this time, the helpers recruited by Zhu Xuan also spoke up one after another: "Zhu Xuan, what is going on with you? If the Golden Dragon Qi is released, then what did we come here for?"

Zhu Xuan was covered in cold sweat.

Ning Zhao also hurriedly came to his side, saying urgently: "What's the situation? If the Golden Dragon Qi is damaged, there's no guarantee it won't cause harm to Qinger; when we go back, President Yu won't spare us!"

"How would I know what the situation is!"

Zhu Xuan was extremely irritable, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "That Lin Suo, I'm afraid there's something strange about him!"

However, at this moment, no one paid any more attention to his words; Zhao Jieyang, Gu Ying, and the others could no longer care about anyone else and hurriedly turned around to rush back to the campsite at full speed.

Zhu Xuan gritted his teeth and also set off to follow; he looked toward that direction, his eyes filled with grim fury.

"Lin Suo, you bastard, what exactly are you doing?!"
