Chapter 768: Battle Against Li Tong

When that arrogant, thunderous laughter rolled in from afar, a flush of anger appeared on the faces of the Fifth Banner troops; this Dark Blood Banner was truly arrogant.

Li Luo watched with interest toward the depths of the ravaged mountain range, where over a thousand figures emerged; though their positions seemed scattered, they actually followed a special pattern.

Powerful energy, vast as a lake, rippled above those thousand people, and in the center of that immense power, a burly figure stood suspended in mid-air.

He held a golden-ringed great blade inscribed with mysterious patterns; faint golden vertical marks seemed to appear and disappear on the blade's body, while abnormal, fierce blade light surged from the tip, within which a crimson wolf shadow appeared to howl at the sky.

This person must be Li Tong, the banner leader of the Third Banner of the Dark Blood Banner.

Li Luo's mind flashed with information on Li Tong; the opponent's strength was the same as Zhong Ling's, both at the Golden Fiend Body realm, yet Li Tong's Xiang power was clearly more substantial; perhaps, as Li Shi had said, after failing to condense the Glazed Fiend Body, Li Tong had already begun to assault the Extreme Fiend Tian Xiang Jing realm.

"So you are Li Luo?" As Li Luo sized up Li Tong, the latter's fierce gaze locked onto Li Luo, and he immediately sneered.

Li Luo nodded, and with a thought, the immense energy gathered from the Fifth Banner troops lifted his figure into the half-air.

"Banner Leader Li Tong truly has a kind heart, helping us deal with that Fiend Demon leader, but it seems you also suffered some losses?" Li Luo glanced at the somewhat damaged formation on the right side of the Dark Blood Banner's Third Banner; clearly, to deal with that Fiend Demon leader, the opponent had paid a price.

Upon hearing this, Li Tong burst into an angry laugh: "You want Laozi to work for free? Do you even deserve it?"

"Li Tong, watch your mouth," Li Shi said coldly from the side.

Li Tong glanced at Li Shi and sneered: "Li Shi, didn't you say the position of banner leader of the Fifth Banner of the Green Mist Banner would eventually be yours? How did you end up as a subordinate of a mere Xiao Sha Gong? Where is your former arrogance? Or can a mere Xiao Sha Gong subdue you? If so, why did you pretend to be so high and mighty with me before?"

Li Shi's eyes flashed with anger, and he was about to speak, but Li Luo waved his hand to stop him.

"There is no need to argue with such a person; once we crush him, his mouth will naturally shut tight," Li Luo said with a smile.

Meanwhile, Li Tong in the distance, his eyes flashing with murderous light, said coldly with a laugh: "You lack Li Taixuan's strength, yet you've learned a third of his overbearing arrogance."

"Very well; your father suppressed our Dragon Bloodline for so many years; today, I'll collect some interest from you, Li Luo!"

With these words, Li Tong let out a long roar; the immense energy around him rose like clouds, and the golden-ringed great blade in his hand swung in a heavy arc before suddenly cleaving downward.

In the next instant, several hundred-zhang giant blade lights slashed through the long sky, carrying extreme sharpness and domineering ferocity, and directly raged down toward the direction of the Fifth Banner.

Each of those blade lights contained power comparable to a Tian Xiang Jing expert. Li Luo's expression remained calm; he raised his palm, and the fierce energy condensed by the Fifth Banner troops immediately roared forth; with a shift in his will, a massive mirror of water light formed in the half-air ahead. The water-light mirror was dazzling, as if it could reflect all things under heaven and earth.

The blade lights roared forward and collided directly with the mirror, but in that instant, identical blade lights erupted from within the mirror and clashed against them.

Boom!

The sharp blade lights raged, causing the void to tremble and shake.

In this clash, Li Luo sensed the opponent's immense strength; according to his perception, the "Combined Qi" power of the Dark Blood Banner's Third Banner, combined with Li Tong's own strength, reached a power level no less than a mid-stage Da Tian Xiang Jing expert.

On their side, after numerous battles over these two days, Li Luo had a clear understanding of the "Combined Qi" intensity of the Fifth Banner; at best, it was early-stage Da Tian Xiang Jing.

However, although there was a gap in power, Li Luo possessed the "Nine Turns Dragon Breath Fiend Refining Art," which could serve as an amplifier, greatly narrowing the distance between the two sides.

In the so-called "Combined Qi" of these twenty banners, the many banner troops only provided power; how to maximize that power depended entirely on the capability of each banner leader.

"The Nine Turns Dragon Breath Fiend Refining Art indeed has some merit, but with such a vast gap in strength between us, even the Nine Turns Dragon Breath Fiend Refining Art cannot save you!"

Seeing Li Luo block his strike, Li Tong sneered, then clenched his five fingers around the golden-ringed great blade, took a step forward, causing the void beneath his feet to tremble; upon his great blade, light and shadow rose, appearing to be a crimson giant wolf that opened its fanged maw, revealing sharp teeth.

"Dragon General Art, Blood Wolf Fang!"

As Li Tong's chilling shout rang out, the blade light suddenly swung down; in that instant, heaven and earth seemed to turn blood-red, and a hundred-zhang massive crimson blade light tore through the long sky.

Within that blade light, blood wolves galloped, their fangs seemingly merging with the blade light.

With one downward slash, this mountain forest was directly torn open, forming a deep gorge hundreds of zhang long.

Although Li Tong's personality was arrogant and ferocious, his skill was indeed not bad.

On the Fifth Banner side, Zhao Zhao Yanzhi, Li Shi, Mu Bi, and others all showed changes in their expressions.

Li Luo also sensed the ferocity of Li Tong's current attack; the opponent was clearly intending to crush the Fifth Banner's morale with this strike and end this banner dispute once and for all.

"How naive."

Li Luo smiled; this banner dispute was precisely the time for the Fifth Banner to show its mettle and consolidate its confidence and spirit; the Dark Blood Banner's Third Banner was an excellent whetstone.

If they could crush them, the Fifth Banner's status within the Green Mist Banner would rise sharply.

Even other banners would look at their Green Mist Banner Fifth Banner with new respect.

Li Luo clenched his fist, and the Golden Jade Xiang Blade appeared in his hand.

"Second Layer Xiang God Power!"

"Thunder Body, Second Layer Thunder Sound!" As Li Luo murmured to himself, the Golden Jade Xiang Blade immediately hummed and vibrated; in the next moment, immense, barbaric power surged forth like an ancient giant elephant, pouring into Li Luo's arms, directly causing them to thicken, with veins writhing like earthworms as violent power was added.

Boom, boom!

At the same time, two thunder sounds echoed within Li Luo's body; where the thunder sounds passed, his flesh and blood seemed to become scalding hot, and his physical body rapidly strengthened. The infusion of the Second Layer Xiang God Power was even fully endured by Li Luo.

Feeling the strengthening of his physical body, Li Luo took a deep breath; as he swung the blade, he could more easily mobilize the "Combined Qi" power.

He gazed calmly at the galloping blood-wolf blade light; that fierce, ominous energy surged like beacon smoke straight to the clouds, even dyeing the sky's cloud layers red.

He formed a seal with one hand; the Xiang power within his body began to vanish like a torrent, finally condensing into a black dragon banner upon his blade.

Li Luo's Xiang Blade directly slashed downward toward the front.

Immediately, the void cracked open with a dark trace; in the next moment, rolling nether waters swept forth, followed by a lifelike giant black dragon riding the water, carrying intense oppressive pressure, and directly slammed down upon the roaring blood-wolf blade light.

Beneath the dragon claws, the void seemed to warp in layers.

This time, it was the Dark Blood Banner's Third Banner side that all changed color.

Li Luo's counterattack was even more terrifying than they had imagined!

"Banner Leader, that is a Marquis-Sealing Art!" a banner troop shouted loudly.

"Nonsense, Laozi knows that!"

Li Tong's face grew gloomy; the oppressive pressure brought by the black dragon nether water upon its appearance was far beyond any ordinary Dragon General Art; this Li Luo truly had some ability, not only mastering the Nine Turns Dragon Breath Fiend Refining Art but also cultivating a Marquis-Sealing Art!

However, he was not entirely unprepared for this.

Li Tong took a deep breath, and his gloomy voice resounded in the ears of every person in the Dark Blood Banner's Third Banner: "Prepare the Mi Fa; nurture the 'Dragon Wolf'!"

Upon hearing this, the many banner troops' expressions stiffened; they immediately formed seals, and as the Xiang power within their bodies condensed, it finally turned into wisps of dark-red energy rising from their crowns.

Li Tong took a deep breath; the many dark-red powers gathered, forming a crimson light ball. He held the light ball and pressed it through the air; the ball appeared before the blood-wolf blade light, and the blood wolf within opened its giant mouth and swallowed it whole.

Awooo!

As the Blood Wolf swallowed the blood-red orb of light, its originally hundred-zhang body rapidly expanded. Blood-red dragon scales began to grow across its wolf form, and its claws grew sharper.

In just a few breaths, this Blood Wolf seemed to have evolved into a "Dragon Wolf" of overwhelming presence.

At this moment, the Black Dragon rode the nether waters down to suppress, and the blood-red "Dragon Wolf" seemed to break free of that peculiar pressure, roaring as it transformed into a rolling blood-red torrent that crushed the void. Under the tense gazes of the several thousand banner-bearers from the two camps, the two dragons collided violently in midair.
