Chapter 353: Lin Suo Escapes

When the black jade gourd was knocked away, a look of annoyance surged in Lin Suo's eyes, and he immediately turned and charged toward Lu Qinger's side.

Roar!

However, a tiger's roar suddenly rang out. Golden tiger patterns flickered over Qin Zhulu's body, and his physique suddenly expanded at this moment. As his resonant power surged, it seemed to form a dark golden tiger shadow on the surface of his body.

A fierce, baleful aura erupted.

Qin Zhulu charged straight ahead, his heavy spear whistling out. At the same time, the tiger shadow also extended sharp, ferocious tiger claws. The two combined, thrusting violently toward Lin Suo. The air was torn apart at this moment, emitting a piercing sound.

"Get lost!"

Blocked, Lin Suo felt killing intent surface in his eyes. He struck out with a backhand palm, and blood-red resonant power whistled out, transforming into a blood-red palm print.

"Blood Hand Seal!"

Boom!

The blood-red handprint collided with the tip of Qin Zhulu's spear. Qin Zhulu's expression changed instantly; the opponent's counterattack this time was even more ferocious than before, and the strength of that resonant power had also increased significantly.

This intensity had already reached the third transformation of the Resonance Transformation Stage!

This was the strongest person they had encountered since entering the Golden Dragon Dojo!

This Lin Suo had actually been hiding his strength to this extent?!

Bang!

Under this nearly overwhelming force, Qin Zhulu was hit hard. The heavy spear in his hand was bent into a shocking arc, and then the blood-red resonant power impacted him. The golden tiger patterns on his body were wiped away as if by an invisible hand, instantly dissolving.

Pfft!

A mouthful of blood sprayed from Qin Zhulu's mouth, and his figure staggered backward, leaving deep footprints with every step.

Lin Suo gave a cold laugh, his figure moving as he prepared to pursue Qin Zhulu and eliminate him from the competition.

Whoosh!

However, just as he moved, several extremely fast streaks of light suddenly shot out from the forest, aiming viciously and precisely at his vital points.

Lin Suo frowned slightly and swept his iron rod horizontally. As his resonant power surged, it shattered all the incoming light arrows. At the same time, annoyance surged in his eyes. This Li Luo was truly annoying; the power behind these light arrows wasn't very strong, but their speed was extremely fast, making them hard to guard against.

He pondered for two seconds and ultimately decided to ignore Li Luo's harassment, intending to finish off Qin Zhulu first. Without Qin Zhulu's frontal interference, Li Luo was just an agile little mouse, not worth mentioning.

Thinking this, Lin Suo stopped paying attention to the light arrows that continued to shoot toward him.

But the moment he turned, his peripheral vision caught another wave of incoming light arrows, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart. Among those light arrows, one seemed to be blooming with a verdant luster.

Something was wrong.

In a flash, blood-red resonant power suddenly surged out from Lin Suo's body. He pressed two fingers together and suddenly pointed: "Tiger General Art, Blood Bone Finger!"

As he pointed, a beam of blood-red resonant power, highly condensed and compressed, shot out from his fingertips and collided directly with the incoming light arrows. At the moment of impact, the other light arrows were instantly dissolved, and only that green wood arrow erupted with astonishing power at this moment.

On the green wood arrow, peculiar patterns seemed to be etched, and at the arrowhead, two types of resonant power were constantly rotating, releasing astonishing penetrating force.

While the other light arrows dissolved one after another, only this green wood arrow actually pierced through the blood-red beam and rapidly closed in on Lin Suo.

Seeing this, Lin Suo's expression changed slightly. He clearly hadn't expected that Li Luo, with his mere third-pattern strength in the Resonance Pattern Stage, could unleash such a sharp attack.

Is this the power of dual resonances? It is indeed tyrannical to the extreme.

I really underestimated this kid.

However, even with the power of dual resonances, it was impossible to truly ignore the massive gap between them.

Lin Suo's eyes were cold. The flesh on his fingertip seemed to split open at this moment, and the next instant, a finger bone suddenly shot out. Wrapped in blood-red resonant power, the finger bone blasted through the air and, in a flash, collided with the green wood arrow that had pierced through the blood-red beam.

Bang!

At the moment of impact, a shockwave of resonant power swept out, and the surrounding ground was torn into a riddled mess.

Under this level of counterattack, the green wood arrow finally couldn't withstand it and shattered. The white finger bone, carrying its remaining power, shot like a forest-white light directly into the dense forest where Li Luo was located.

Inside the dense forest, a shimmering water mirror appeared.

At the same time, the large trees there seemed to possess life; tree vines spread out to form a tree wall, and after layer upon layer of defense and dissipation, the forest-white light was finally exhausted.

Through the dim light, one could see Li Luo standing there with a solemn expression. In front of him, a piece of white finger bone fell slowly, having nearly touched his body.

"Resonance Transformation Stage, third transformation..."

Li Luo stared solemnly at the finger bone and then looked at Lin Suo outside the forest. With such strength, he was likely the strongest person in their area; even Zhao Jingyu and Zhu Xuan were a cut below him.

But how could such a formidable peer appear in the Great Xia Kingdom?

The resonance Lin Suo possessed was only around the seventh grade; how could he reach the third transformation of the Resonance Transformation Stage at this age?

After all, in terms of cultivation resources and resonance talent, Zhu Xuan shouldn't be weaker than him.

And this Lin Suo only came from the Golden Dragon Treasury branch in the Tianzang Prefecture of Great Xia; how could he be so powerful? After all, although the Golden Dragon Treasury had deep foundations, as someone from a mere branch, he clearly wouldn't be qualified to receive their full support—after all, Lu Qinger was the young lady of the Great Xia Golden Dragon Treasury.

With many doubts in his heart, Li Luo ultimately suppressed them, only keeping his eyes warily fixed on Lin Suo.

At this moment, Lin Suo didn't continue to attack, because he had already seen the figures rushing back—Zhao Jingyu, Gu Ying, Zhu Xuan, and the others had all arrived.

In this situation, it was no longer likely that he could continue to extract the Golden Dragon Qi from Lu Qinger's body.

It was a pity; he had only extracted half earlier and failed to complete the task entirely.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

While he felt regret, one figure after another broke through the air and landed in the devastated clearing.

"What is going on?" Zhao Jingyu asked angrily first, his sharp gaze sweeping over everyone present before stopping on Lu Qinger, who was sleeping in the tent.

Li Luo walked up, his eyes staring coldly at Zhu Xuan and Ning Zhao. "Lin Suo extracted half of the Golden Dragon Qi from Qinger's body. Was this instigated by you? Have you thought about the consequences?"

Zhu Xuan and Ning Zhao's expressions were extremely ugly. They shouted angrily, "You're talking nonsense! We all have to go back; would we be crazy enough to do something so extreme?"

"Then how do you explain this Lin Suo?" Li Luo asked in a deep voice.

He actually felt that Zhu Xuan and Ning Zhao weren't that stupid, because once such an extreme act was committed, Yu Hongxi would never let them off. And Yu Hongxi's fury was something neither Ning Zhao's father, the vice president, nor Zhu Xuan's master of the Extreme Flame Mansion could withstand.

Zhu Xuan's angry gaze turned to Lin Suo. "Lin Suo, what exactly do you mean? I only told you to keep an eye on them, I didn't tell you to extract Qinger's Golden Dragon Qi!"

Facing Zhu Xuan's questioning, Lin Suo smiled faintly. "Zhu Xuan, I was never on the same path as you."

"Forget it, there's no point in saying more. I shall take my leave for now."

He shook his head, extended his palm, and the black jade gourd fell back into his hand.

"Want to leave? Did you ask us first?!" Zhao Jingyu said sharply.

Lin Suo glanced at him and instead took a step forward. Blood-red resonant power surged out, and a faint sense of oppression permeated the air.

Sensing this pressure, Zhao Jingyu, Zhu Xuan, and the others all changed color, staring at Lin Suo in disbelief: "Resonance Transformation Stage, third transformation?!"

"I have no intention of fighting you. Although there are many of you, if I want to leave, you cannot stop me."

"Besides, now that the Golden Dragon Qi has been damaged, the effect of the Treasure Basin is hard to restore. Do you really want to make an enemy of me for the sake of Golden Dragon Qi that no longer works?" Lin Suo said with a faint smile.

Zhao Jingyu, Zhu Xuan, and the others couldn't help but pause, their expressions shifting.

"If you really want to play, I'll be waiting for you on Golden Dragon Peak."

As his voice fell, he cast a slightly cold, gloomy glance at Li Luo, and then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, his figure transformed directly into a streak of blood-red light, fleeing and disappearing at an astonishing speed.

Li Luo watched his disappearing figure, his eyes dark and gloomy, with a cold killing intent surging within. Ultimately, he gradually suppressed the killing intent.

Now was not the time to make a move.

However, the opponent wouldn't be able to escape this place; they would inevitably meet again later. When that time came, he would make all the preparations for a true fight to the death.
