Chapter 744: Black Dragon Shakes the Training Ground

A faint stir rippled through the training ground.

The fifteen hundred banner members of the Fifth Division all wore stunned expressions, murmuring among themselves, clearly shaken by the demand Li Luo had put forward.

And as the parties involved, Zhao Zhao Yanzhi, Li Shi, and Mu Bi were all momentarily lost for a moment, then exchanged glances, each catching a flash of absurdity in the other's eyes.

Li Luo was only at the Lesser Sha Palace realm — how could he dare claim he could wound them in a single strike?

They were at the Silver Sha Body realm!

Whether in terms of phase force or physical resilience, they far surpassed Li Luo!

Still, they did not think Li Luo was a fool, because the methods and temperament he had previously revealed were clearly not those of a reckless, incompetent person.

Which meant he must possess some special ability.

That might well pose a threat to them.

Zhao Zhao Yanzhi gently bit her red lips, her eyes flowing with a seductive charm, while a thoughtful glint passed through her beautiful pupils — this new Banner Chief seemed to harbor the ambition of subduing the three of them, which was why he had dangled such a tempting bait.

What boldness.

Though she did not know exactly what reliance he had, the bearing Li Luo had displayed secretly impressed her — truly worthy of the bloodline of the Great Manor Master...

【Honestly, I've been using the Huanyuan app to read and catch up lately — switch sources, multiple narration voices, huanyuanapp. Works on both Android and iOS.】

With his Three Phase talent, had Li Luo been born into the Dragon Fang Lineage, the present-day Li Luo might well have become the Chief Banner Chief of the Dragon Fang Lineage's Four Banners, contending with the other four lineages.

The three exchanged glances. They had competed with each other for a long time and knew one another well, so they quickly reached a decision — these were conditions Li Luo had proactively proposed, and if they wanted to turn the situation around, they had to accept.

Their gazes met, and finally the burly, iron-tower-like figure of Mu Bi slowly stepped forward.

Of the three, Mu Bi possessed an eighth-grade Iron Phase; in terms of defense, he was the strongest among them. Since Li Luo dared to initiate a one-strike pact, he must be wielding some extremely lethal technique, and Mu Bi, with the toughest defense, was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

"Since the Banner Chief dares to challenge us at the Lesser Sha Palace realm, if we don't accept, then afterward no one will respect us."

"But regardless of the outcome, I do have some admiration for the Banner Chief's courage."

Mu Bi's figure leapt, landing on the high platform. When his body hit the ground, the floor itself trembled. His voice was deep and resonant, rolling out like muffled thunder.

He took a single step forward, and violent gray phase force erupted like a mountain torrent. Mu Bi's already burly frame rose steadily, and within a few breaths, he had transformed into a little giant roughly three zhang tall. At the same time, countless silver threads of light surged up from his flesh and blood, forming patches of silver across his body.

An unbreakable momentum radiated outward.

Mu Bi held nothing back, directly unleashing his full power.

From beyond the training ground, hidden gazes also cast their way.

Li Luo sensed the oppressive force emanating from Mu Bi, but his expression remained unchanged. Though his opponent was a higher level, he was nothing compared to the powerful enemies Li Luo had faced before.

Whether it was Manager Pei Hao or Shen Shen Jinxiao, Li Luo had crossed hands with them. Though it had been with the aid of external objects, he had personally endured that oppressive momentum.

With that prior experience, a mere Silver Sha Body could not possibly make him feel any pressure.

Li Luo's expression was calm. The phase palaces within his body trembled, and surging phase force poured out like tides, the Water Phase and Dragon Phase powers merging within him.

Dual Phase power!

On Li Luo's wrist, a Dual Phase halo flickered into view, emitting a peculiar ripple.

His hands wove seals at lightning speed, the hand-signs shifting in dazzling succession.

Then Li Luo felt the phase force within his body draining away at a terrifying pace, but at that very moment, an invisible, astonishing pressure began slowly radiating from within him.

The moment this pressure appeared, Mu Bi on the opposite side felt it most clearly, and his pupils immediately contracted slightly.

Mu Bi found it somewhat inconceivable — how could a Lesser Sha Palace realm give him such a sensation?

Though the other's phase force intensity was much stronger than an ordinary Lesser Sha Palace realm, compared to him, there was clearly a considerable gap!

Then what was this feeling?

Was it because of the phase technique being used?!

A high-grade Dragon General Art?

But it shouldn't be to this extent, right?

Then... could it be a Marquis Art?!

A shocked thought suddenly rose in Mu Bi's heart — was that even possible? A true Marquis Art, even Zhong Ling hadn't mastered it yet, so how could Li Luo, a mere Lesser Sha Palace realm, have mastered one?!

And just as Mu Bi's thoughts churned, Li Luo's complexion paled considerably, nearly two-thirds of his surging phase force vanishing in an instant.

His hands, which had been forming seals, slowly drew apart.

An extremely terrifying pressure swept outward like a hurricane at this moment, causing even the void to tremble. Then, under countless shocked gazes, a somewhat illusory black dragon banner slowly rose from Li Luo's palm.

Roar!

A dragon's cry exploded through the training ground at this moment.

Li Luo directly reached out and seized the black dragon banner, then, expressionless, slashed it down sharply toward the void ahead.

Marquis Art, Black Dragon Dark Water Banner!

Hiss-crack!

The void shattered at this moment, and immediately the sound of surging water came from within the broken void. The next instant, a chilling black river seemed to pierce through from the depths of the void.

A black river coiled, seemingly billowing with boundless chilling qi, enough to freeze all things.

And the black river surged up in ten-thousand-zhang waves. The next moment, the river was torn apart, and a black dragon shadow roughly a hundred zhang long burst from the water. It let out bursts of dragon cries, its dragon claws treading through the air, while a massive black river coiled around its body like a black ribbon.

The black dragon rode the water, striding through the air.

Inside and outside the training ground, countless pupils reflected this scene, drawing gasps of cold air.

Zhao Zhao Yanzhi and Li Shi's expressions also froze for several breaths, then they cried out in shock: "This... a Marquis Art?!"

Only a true Marquis Art could possess such terrifying pressure!

This Li Luo, with only Lesser Sha Palace realm strength, had actually managed to master a Marquis Art!

No wonder he dared to be so arrogant, facing a Silver Sha Body head-on!

Roar!

The black dragon rode the water and tore through the air, wrapped in shadow, and came crashing down directly upon Mu Bi.

And at this moment, Mu Bi's heart was also shaken. Without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed all of his resonance power without reserve, and gray resonance power roared through the void behind him like a flood.

At this moment, how could he dare hold back even the slightest bit!

"Dragon General Art, Dark-Iron Demonic Bell!"

Accompanied by a low roar, rolling resonance power gathered from outside Mu Bi's body, and in the blink of an eye, transformed into a gray iron bell roughly ten zhang across. The iron bell was thick and solid, giving one a sense of being unbreakable.

Mu Bi directly activated his strongest defense!

Clang!

The instant the gray iron bell took shape, the black dragon riding the black river—under the gazes of countless shocked eyes both inside and outside the training ground—descended with a terrifying momentum to suppress everything below.

In an instant, a deafening bell toll exploded like thunder across the entire Green Obscure Training Ground.

This sound seemed to be announcing that a brand-new chapter for the Green Obscure Court was about to begin.
