Chapter 68: Li Luo Wants to Put on a Big Show

"What did you just say?"

Li Luo looked with some confusion at Song Yunfeng, who had crashed into the wall and cracked it; the latter was in a wretched state, as the power erupting from Li Luo's blade had directly and fiercely suppressed him.

A trace of blood appeared at the corner of Song Yunfeng's mouth, and he looked up at Li Luo in disbelief: "You, you actually reached the Eighth Seal? How is that possible!"

In the moment of their previous clash, the resonant power Li Luo displayed was not the least bit weaker than his own.

And what he found most incredible was that Li Luo's water resonance power was extremely pure, and that continuous, mellow sensation was simply like a high-grade seven water resonance!

But wasn't this guy's water resonance only grade five?

At this moment, Song Yunfeng felt as if he were dreaming.

Upon hearing this, Li Luo sighed softly and said, "This matter actually has to start from sixteen years ago; I had just been weaned back then, and on that very day..."

Song Yunfeng subconsciously focused his attention to listen.

But the next instant, Li Luo stomped his foot, water light appeared beneath it, and his figure seemed to step out from the water, sliding toward Song Yunfeng at extreme speed before slashing down with his blade again.

Song Yunfeng hurriedly blocked, but the resonant power contained in that blade forced him to his knees, and he immediately roared in anger: "You played me?!"

"So smart, you actually saw through that."

Li Luo praised with a smile, then a leg shadow like a whip kicked Song Yunfeng squarely in the chest, sending him flying and rolling until his face was covered in mud.

Before Song Yunfeng could stand up, Li Luo rushed out again, the sharp blade light seemingly carrying the sound of crashing waves as it enveloped Song Yunfeng.

Song Yunfeng felt incredibly aggrieved; now that Li Luo had stepped into the Eighth Seal, his resonant power level was no weaker than his own, yet this bastard was still using these petty tricks, suppressing him so hard he didn't even have a chance to breathe.

It was so shameless, lacking any of the stature of a Young Master of the House of Luolan!

Under Li Luo's relentless blade, Song Yunfeng soon began to suffer, blood flowing from his body, looking extremely miserable.

Knowing he couldn't let this continue, he let out an angry roar, his resonant power erupted to the fullest, and a crimson spear radiance swept heavily toward Li Luo in front of him like lightning.

Seeing this, Li Luo raised his palm, water light appearing and disappearing before him, and shouted: "Great Rebound Art!"

Hearing this shout, Song Yunfeng recalled the scene during the preliminary exams where he had been traumatized by Li Luo's bizarre Water Mirror Art; and at that time, Li Luo was only at the Sixth Seal. Now that the opponent's resonant power was no weaker than his, wouldn't the rebound power of the Water Mirror Art be even more brutal?

Thus, Song Yunfeng hurriedly reined in his force.

But when he retracted his resonant power, he was astonished to find that there was no water mirror at all in front of Li Luo; instead, the latter, with a face so handsome it made others feel inferior, flashed a brilliant smile at him.

"Fooled you."

As Li Luo's laughter rang out, he took a sudden step forward, and water light flowed at high speed along the water-patterned blade in his hand; the buzzing vibration seemed to make the very air tremble.

Li Luo slashed down, colliding directly with Song Yunfeng's long spear.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and then, Song Yunfeng watched in sheer horror as the iron spear in his hand was cleanly snapped in two by Li Luo's blade.

The remaining edge of the blade slashed mercilessly into his body.

Ah!

A scream rang out, blood gushed from Song Yunfeng's chest, and he was directly and heavily wounded.

At this moment, Li Luo heard the sound of rapid wind-breaking from behind; glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw the grim-faced Shi Kong rushing over.

"Li Luo, how dare you!" Shi Kong's shout was like thunder, making people's eardrums ache.

However, Li Luo ignored him completely, kicking the screaming Song Yunfeng away, and then casually hooked a piece of the broken spear with his other foot and flung it out.

Swish!

The broken spear shot directly into Song Yunfeng's shoulder socket, pinning him to the wall, where he wailed incessantly.

At this time, Shi Kong arrived and attacked in a rage, his long spear, which seemed to dance with lightning, thrusting violently down at Li Luo.

Li Luo drifted back, landing on the broken wall, and smiled at Shi Kong: "Yo, rushing back for dinner?"

Shi Kong's eyes were cold; he glanced at Song Yunfeng, who was pinned to the wall, and frowned slightly. The latter's injuries were clearly not light; he had been effectively and temporarily stripped of his combat ability by Li Luo.

He turned his gaze to Li Luo, the anger in his eyes gradually fading, and said indifferently: "Li Luo, it seems everyone underestimated you."

"You are the one hiding the deepest in Nanfeng Academy."

Li Luo smiled: "You flatter me, you flatter me."

Shi Kong's expression was indifferent as he said: "But there's no need to be too smug, because the overall situation is settled; you appearing now won't change anything."

"Whether it can be changed or not, one has to try, right?"

Li Luo smiled slightly and said: "I only have one thought right now."

His gaze shifted between Song Yunfeng and Shi Kong, and he said: "As Yu Lang said, I'll have you both... hung upside down in a manure pit."

Shi Kong shook his head, stopping these meaningless words, and slowly raised the long spear in his hand, pointing it at Li Luo: "Let's stop with these useless words; don't make yourself look ridiculous later."

"Show your true strength, Li Luo, otherwise today... I will make you lose all the face of the Young Master of the House of Luolan."

The moment his voice fell, lightning resonance power surged across his body, and his Ninth Seal resonant power erupted without reservation.

Boom!

Amidst faint thunder, Shi Kong's figure shot out like lightning; that speed made Li Luo's eyes narrow—lightning resonance power was indeed swift and fierce.

Hum!

Within a few breaths, Shi Kong appeared in front of Li Luo, the lightning spear in his hand like a bolt of lightning tearing through the void, attacking Li Luo at extreme speed.

The rolling thunder brought with it a sense of oppression.

Li Luo held his twin blades, blue resonant power flowing at high speed along the edges; clearly, he did not hesitate to activate his most lethal Water Radiance Art.

He slashed with both blades, and as the blue water radiance cut through the air, it left faint blue light trails.

Clang!

The blades and spear collided in the next instant, and the gale caused by the resonant power shockwave swept up gravel and debris.

In this head-on collision, Shi Kong's figure remained motionless, while Li Luo slid backward; clearly, Shi Kong had the upper hand.

"Eighth Seal resonant power..."

"But your resonant power is so pure that even my lightning resonance power cannot penetrate your body to cause damage."

Although he had the upper hand, Shi Kong frowned slightly, because Li Luo's resonant power carried a peculiar sense of purity. One had to know that he possessed a high-grade seven lightning resonance; his resonant power was inherently domineering, and high-grade resonant power possessed a spiritual quality that allowed it to erode and destroy the opponent's resonant power through subtle changes during a clash—this was one of the advantages of high-grade resonance.

But although he had pushed Li Luo back, his lightning resonance power had not, as he had wished, penetrated the latter's body to reduce his combat effectiveness.

Li Luo twisted his palms, which were gripping the twin blades; the previous hard clash made him realize just how fierce his opponent was. No wonder even Lu Qinger was wary of him.

Ninth Seal strength, high-grade seven lightning resonance.

A formidable enemy indeed.

Li Luo suddenly laughed, because he felt that he didn't feel nervous due to the opponent's strength; instead, he found his blood faintly boiling.

Over the years, the existence of his empty resonance had led Li Luo to dislike exposing himself, always preferring to keep some trump cards to make himself feel more secure.

He had kept as low a profile as possible.

Yet only now did he realize that although he had grown accustomed to developing in obscurity over these years, in his bones, the will to fight was still flowing.

After all, he was, at the very least, the son of two Marquises.

Very well, after keeping a low profile for so many years, this time, it's time to put on a big show!!

Amidst a low laugh, Li Luo, holding his twin blades, channeled his resonant power and shot toward Shi Kong.
