Chapter 364: Tacit Cooperation

Lin Suo stood atop a tree, his Resonant Power flowing like blood throughout his body, forming rings of crimson light that circled him. His gaze was dark and cold as he stared at Li Luo and the other two; the disarray he had suffered earlier had clearly enraged him completely.

To be pushed to this point by three people in the Pattern-Building Stage was something he could not tolerate.

Lin Suo spat out a mouthful of blood, then his hands snapped together like lightning. The crimson rings around his body began to shift, covering his skin.

Faintly, it seemed to form a crimson shadow that enveloped his entire body.

"Tiger General Art, Blood Purgatory!"

Accompanied by Lin Suo's low roar, the crimson shadow became increasingly clear, appearing like an angry, blood-red specter, exuding a menacing aura.

At this moment, Lin Suo's momentum climbed steadily; he had clearly unleashed his strongest technique.

Li Luo's expression shifted slightly due to Lin Suo's rising momentum. He quickly signaled the other two to be careful while retreating. He drew his Light Falcon Bow, and as Resonant Power gathered, a light arrow resembling a falcon's shadow shot out.

The speed of the light arrow was extremely fast, even quicker than the Water Light Arrows Li Luo had used before; this was the enhancement provided by the treasure, the Light Falcon Bow.

Even Lin Suo could only see a flash of white light before the falcon-like arrow shot straight for his face. Though surprised by the speed of Li Luo's arrow, he was not panicked. Instead, he sneered and let the arrow strike the angry blood shadow covering his body.

Ssh!

Upon contact, the light arrow was dissolved by the blood shadow.

Crimson light surged over Lin Suo's body, and with a flash, he left behind trails of afterimages in mid-air, charging directly toward Li Luo.

Seeing this, Li Luo retreated without hesitation. Lin Suo's combat power was at its peak right now, and given the gap in their Resonant Power, he would be at a complete disadvantage in a direct clash.

However, Lin Suo was extremely fast; within a few breaths, he was about to catch up to Li Luo.

Boom!

Just then, a figure like an iron tower charged in from the side, trampling like a fierce beast, slamming heavily into his body.

Bang!

Lin Suo was sent flying over ten meters, but the iron-tower figure was also repelled by the counter-force of Lin Suo's Resonant Power, flying backward and snapping several large trees in half.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, he climbed back up as if nothing had happened. Gripping his heavy black spear, he stared at Lin Suo with bloodshot eyes and charged forward again, fearless of death.

Lin Suo frowned. This Qin Zhulu was truly annoying. Although the opponent's attacks posed little threat to him, these repeated obstructions prevented him from seizing the chance to crush Li Luo, who was the biggest threat. Moreover, this guy had a naturally tough physique, and now with the protection of that black armor, his defense was astonishing; even Lin Suo couldn't inflict a serious injury on him for the moment.

He looked at the charging Qin Zhulu, a fierce glint in his eyes. Since you are looking for death, I will kill you first!

Lin Suo gripped his iron mace, swinging it with trails of blood-red light and a piercing whistle, smashing it fiercely toward Qin Zhulu.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The two clashed like lightning. With every contact, Qin Zhulu's iron-tower-like frame shuddered, the webbing between his thumb and forefinger split, and blood flowed down his palms. Yet, he didn't utter a sound, his eyes bloodshot, launching attacks that were all life-for-life, the spear tip thrusting straight at Lin Suo's vitals.

But his attacks were all neutralized by the angry blood shadow covering Lin Suo's body.

The gap between them was clear.

Fortunately, Lu Qinger arrived to help with occasional interference, giving Qin Zhulu a moment to catch his breath, but even with the two of them joining forces, they were still completely suppressed by Lin Suo.

While Qin Zhulu was doing his utmost to block Lin Suo, Li Luo reached a large tree. He stared sharply at Lin Suo's unstoppable figure, took a deep breath, and drew his Light Falcon Bow.

Inside his two Resonant Palaces, the Resonant Power seeds vibrated slightly, and both streams of Resonant Power flowed out completely.

At the same time, four Resonant Power bubbles shattered.

The two types of Resonant Power surged within his body, finally colliding like two streams, merging together.

In that instant, the fused dual-resonance power seemed to roar, and Li Luo's momentum suddenly became formidable.

His fingers slowly pulled the bowstring, and a light arrow resembling a falcon quickly took shape. This was an innate ability of the Light Falcon Bow: condensing a light falcon arrow with Resonant Power, which was extremely fast and possessed sonic attack capabilities.

The stronger one's own Resonant Power, the stronger and faster the condensed light falcon arrow would become.

Now, with Li Luo using dual-resonance power to condense the arrow, its momentum was several times stronger than before. On the bowstring, the light falcon arrow flickered, its wings extended, looking from afar like a falcon about to take flight.

At the tip of the arrow was the falcon's sharp beak, with a cold light flowing over it, exuding astonishing piercing power and appearing extremely dangerous.

Rings of light continuously radiated from the arrow tip.

This shot of Li Luo's could be considered his strongest attack to date.

Lin Suo, who was fighting Qin Zhulu and Lu Qinger, also sensed the attack Li Luo was brewing and narrowed his eyes slightly. Li Luo's arrow was already beginning to make him feel a sense of danger.

Clearly, with the amplification of the treasure bow, the current Li Luo was beginning to pose a threat to him.

Lin Suo's gaze flickered, and his blood-red Resonant Power suddenly exploded, forcing Qin Zhulu to retreat in disarray. At that very moment, Li Luo released the bowstring. In an instant, a piercing falcon screech resounded, and a beam of white light pierced the sky.

The falcon's sonic wave arrived first, causing Lin Suo to furrow his brows. A faint sense of dizziness emerged in his mind, but he quickly suppressed it by circulating his Resonant Power.

Lin Suo gripped his iron mace, the angry blood shadow on his body becoming even more condensed, the crimson light flaring as he prepared to take Li Luo's strongest arrow head-on. He understood that if they could block this arrow, the morale of Li Luo's trio would surely be shattered, as this was their strongest attack yet.

Swish!

The white light flashed past.

Just as Lin Suo prepared to smash the incoming light falcon arrow, the arrow suddenly changed direction, and to Lin Suo's astonishment, it shot toward his right side.

Did it miss?!

In the moment of Lin Suo's shock, the direction the light falcon arrow shot toward was where Lu Qinger was located.

"Qinger!" Li Luo shouted.

Lu Qinger nodded. She waved her slender hands in front of her, and icy Resonant Power gathered, forming an ice mirror. The light falcon arrow struck the ice mirror directly, and with a hum, it changed direction.

Swish!

The light falcon arrow shot back out, still avoiding Lin Suo, and instead headed toward Li Luo's direction.

Lin Suo was left somewhat bewildered by their actions, not knowing what they were doing.

But the next moment, his bewilderment vanished, replaced by a sense of dread.

Because he saw that in front of Li Luo, there was also a light mirror condensed, smooth as a mirror, reflecting the incoming light falcon arrow.

The light falcon arrow hit the light mirror and was immediately refracted back. Only this time, the speed of the light falcon arrow seemed to have received some kind of boost; it was astonishingly fast, and wherever it passed, even the air was sliced open, leaving a faint trail.

Whoosh!

Even with Lin Suo's strength, he could only see a flash of white light. Then, an extremely sharp fluctuation appeared in front of him. The piercing power was so strong that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Such fast speed!

This bastard Li Luo has too many tricks!

How could he use this kind of mirror refraction to increase the speed of a light arrow?!

However, at this moment, Lin Suo could only roar, his Resonant Power exploding to its limit. The angry blood shadow on his body surface became even more crimson, and the blood shadow's palms crossed like a shield, blocking in front of him.

Ssh!

The light falcon arrow whistled toward him.

Then, under the gaze of Li Luo and the others, it collided with the blood shadow.

Pfft!

A faint sound rang out; the blood shadow's palms were instantly pierced, and then the light arrow, with astonishing speed, struck Lin Suo directly in the chest.

Bang!

Lin Suo's figure was struck as if by a heavy blow; he spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.

Lu Qinger and Qin Zhulu both widened their eyes. The previously dominant Lin Suo had finally been repelled at this very moment!
