Chapter 504: A Wretched Exit

Boom!

At the moment of impact, a violent energy shockwave exploded directly atop the mountain peak; Shanfeng trembled, mountain stones shattered completely, cracks spread out endlessly, and the mountain walls kept shaking loose.

Li Luo and Jing Jing Taixu were almost the first to take the brunt of it.

The Xiang power defenses on their bodies were instantly destroyed, then their bodies were sent flying back in a wretched state, crashing heavily against the mountain rocks, unable to help but spit out fresh blood.

The Golden Jade Xiang Elephant Blade and the green plantain fan in their hands both flew out of their grips, falling far away.

Inside the Holy Cup space, all gazes fixed on the smoke-filled mountain peak, expressions becoming somewhat tense; this final clash of trump cards between the two sides had actually ended in mutual devastation.

Now, perhaps it would come down to who could hold onto that last breath longer?

Under the focus of many gazes, the smoke on the mountain peak gradually dispersed.

Then they saw Jing Jing Taixu's figure, swaying unsteadily, struggle down from the mountain rock; at this moment, his clothes were torn, his flesh split and bleeding, no longer showing the composure of before, looking exceptionally wretched.

However, he had no mind to notice his own appearance now, his eyes staring fixedly at Li Luo's figure ahead.

This guy should already be so heavily injured that he has no strength to get up, right?

Truly impressive; even his final move failed to crush him directly, instead dragging it into a mutual devastation.

Jing Jing Taixu glanced at a blade mark on the ground ahead, about dozens of meters long; the mark nearly split this mountain top in two, caused by Li Luo's counterattack earlier; that power was exceptionally terrifying.

Clearly, this was also Li Luo's trump card.

Fortunately, the one laughing last was still him.

A smile was painfully pulled up at the corner of Jing Jing Taixu's mouth.

But before this smile could spread, he saw Li Luo's figure nearby twitch, then slowly get up; instantly, his smile froze stiff.

Li Luo at this moment was equally extremely wretched, his surrounding Xiang power withered to the extreme.

Especially his two arms, constantly dripping fresh blood.

"He didn't even fall?!"

Jing Jing Taixu gritted his teeth tightly, anger rising in his heart; this Li Luo was too stubborn!

Li Luo wiped the bloodstains from his face, looked up at Jing Jing Taixu, and said in a weak voice: "Do you think you've won?"

Jing Jing Taixu said hoarsely: "In your current situation, you probably don't even have the strength to take a step, right?"

"Isn't it the same for you?"

Li Luo stared at Jing Jing Taixu, a strange smile appearing at his corner of the mouth: "Right now, both of us are like an oil-depleted lamp, without even the strength to raise a hand; but Jing Jing Taixu, I think you're done for."

Hearing this, Jing Jing Taixu immediately showed a cold sneer; he did not pay attention to Li Luo, but instead frantically circulated the energy guidance technique he cultivated; the most urgent thing now was to quickly restore some Xiang power, even if only enough to move his body; then he could go over and deliver a finishing blow to Li Luo, and he would be completely victorious.

"Jing Jing Taixu, your Void Ninth Grade Wind Xiang is indeed difficult to deal with, and your Su Du Shen Fa gives people a real headache, but do you think, in this situation, which is more useful: your Wind Xiang, or my Water Xiang and Wood Xiang?" Li Luo bared his white teeth, his smile carrying a chill.

Jing Jing Taixu was stunned first, then his face immediately turned iron-green.

He had actually forgotten this point!

Water Xiang and Wood Xiang are certainly far inferior to Wind Xiang in terms of speed, but they also have their own advantages: Water Xiang is enduring, Wood Xiang is tough, and both are extremely skilled at recovery effects; so if comparing healing or Xiang power recovery speed, the latter two must win.

Panic flashed uncontrollably in Jing Jing Taixu's eyes; surely not? He had survived the mountain of blades and sea of fire; surely he wouldn't lose on this point?

So Jing Jing Taixu began to frantically circulate the energy guidance technique, trying to accelerate Xiang power recovery.

Several minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Jing Jing Taixu felt signs of movement in his stiff body; in his dried-up Xiang Palace within his body, a wisp of Xiang power also began to gradually form.

This made him ecstatic.

However, when he looked up toward Li Luo's side, he discovered Li Luo was already slowly twisting his body; judging by this appearance, he now possessed a bit of mobility.

Immediately, a chill went through Jing Jing Taixu's heart.

"No need to panic; he is merely a bowstring at the end of its strength; as long as he dares to approach, I can use this last bit of Xiang power to finish him!" Jing Jing Taixu comforted himself in his heart.

But when his comfort vanished upon seeing Li Luo pull out a silver-white great bow from the space orb, his scalp suddenly went numb.

"You... damn... it..."

Jing Jing Taixu took a breath and couldn't help but curse aloud.

This is too shameless, isn't it?!

However, Li Luo was smiling; he extended his finger, enduring the tearing agony, and slowly drew the Light Falcon Bow; extremely thin Xiang power within his body gathered, forming an extremely slender arrow on the bowstring.

Li Luo's arm condition was extremely poor, causing the hand holding the bow body to tremble slightly.

Whoosh!

He loosened his finger, and the light arrow shot out fiercely; its speed was not too fast; if Jing Jing Taixu were in his prime, he could easily dodge it, but now, he could only watch helplessly as the light arrow whistled toward him.

Then Jing Jing Taixu felt a chill below his waist; the light arrow flew out from his vital area below the waist.

Missed by a hair's breadth!

Jing Jing Taixu's head was full of cold sweat, his face turning somewhat pale at this moment; he stared at Li Luo with a twisted face and gritted his teeth, saying: "Li Luo, what do you mean?!"

You bastard, where are you aiming?!

"My condition isn't good; please forgive me," Li Luo said apologetically; he had no choice; his arms were split like this; being able to draw the bow was already good enough; there was no need to worry about accuracy.

"Stand still, let me shoot a few more times; don't move around, or if I shoot off something, I can't help it either."

Li Luo kindly gave a reminder, then continued drawing the bow and shooting arrows.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two more tiny light arrows shot over; these things actually had little killing power; if Jing Jing Taixu were uninjured, these things couldn't break his defense at all; but what made him furious was that Li Luo, that son of a bitch, kept wildly shooting at his vital area below the waist.

Although the accuracy was very poor, this was simply torture.

Jing Jing Taixu felt that Li Luo, that bastard, was doing it on purpose.

Too despicable, isn't it?!

"Endure a bit more; my Xiang power has started to recover a little," Jing Jing Taixu gritted his teeth, preparing to tough it out.

Whoosh!

A shaft of light shot forth, piercing straight into his lower abdomen.

A sharp sting radiated from his lower belly.

Jing Jing Taixu's lips twitched slightly, his face pale as death.

"Sigh, so close."

Li Luo sighed, drew the bow again, and said seriously, "One last time; this time I will definitely hit."

The bowstring was drawn full, and the light shaft formed.

However, this time, before Li Luo could release it, Jing Jing Taixu expressionlessly grabbed the Spirit Gourd in his hand and then crushed it with a single squeeze.

A pillar of light descended from the sky, directly enveloping him.

Seeing this, Li Luo was momentarily stunned, then regretfully sheathed the Light Falcon Bow in his hand.

"Jing Jing Taixu, your mental resilience needs improvement," he said, shaking his head with a sigh.

Fire filled Jing Jing Taixu's eyes as he stared at Li Luo; today's final match had utterly humiliated him. He never expected to lose not in a earth-shattering great battle, but to be scared into voluntarily withdrawing by this bastard Li Luo using such a humiliating method.

"Li Luo, remember this!"

But at this moment, he could only utter a fierce threat, then his figure was swept up by the pillar of light, shooting skyward.

He was eliminated and left the field in a somewhat ridiculous manner.

Just as Jing Jing Taixu left, another pillar of light descended from the sky onto Li Luo. Within the pillar, extremely pure heavenly and earthly energy radiated; in that instant, Li Luo felt all the wounds on his body completely healed.

Even the depleted Xiang Power within his Xiang Palace began to become abundant again.

Clearly, this was the treatment reserved for the final victor.

Feeling his strength return, Li Luo clenched his fist, and the Profound Elephant Blade flew over, landing in his hand.

Then he looked up, gazing at the center of the mountain peak. There, mountain rock slowly rose, forming steps, and at the end of the steps stood a crimson Wang Zuo, quietly towering.

Dragon Bone Wang Zuo.

Li Luo smiled, exhaling a breath of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

The first Divine Tree Golden Insignia was finally in his grasp.
