Chapter 769: Revealing True Might

Boom!

An astonishing energy storm erupted in midair, and every flag member from both sides fixed their gazes rigidly on the point of collision.

There, the black dragon wielding Nether Water clashed with the colossal dragon-wolf, their violent energies continuously eroding each other.

Both sides rapidly bore wounds, torn open into grotesque lacerations.

Yet no blood flowed from the wounds—only countless energy specks scattered into the air.

Clearly, the Nether Water black dragon held the upper hand; after all, this was a Marquis Art cast by Li Luo, further amplified by the "Harmonized Qi" of the Fifth Division of the Qingming Flag, its power enough to force even a mid-stage Da Tian Xiang Jing cultivator to retreat.

But now the "Blood-Red Dragon-Wolf" could not retreat—the two forces were locked in a grapple, whipping up an energy storm that ravaged the mountains and forests, uprooting countless trees with astonishing destructive force.

The duel lasted roughly several minutes, until the Nether Water black dragon's claw unleashed a corrosive black light that pierced through the "Blood-Red Dragon-Wolf's" skull, causing it to instantly explode into a thousand specks of light.

Though it had crushed the Blood-Red Dragon-Wolf, the "Nether Water black dragon" too seemed near its end—but it still surged forward with its last reserves, charging toward the Third Division of the Dark Blood Flag.

Li Tong's expression darkened; he had never expected that even after activating their Mi Fa, the Third Division of the Dark Blood Flag still couldn't withstand Li Luo's strike.

Fortunately, the "Nether Water black dragon" was now utterly drained.

He slammed his palm forward, and rolling energy coalesced into a colossal hand that smashed down upon the now-faint "Nether Water black dragon."

The sound of sonic booms rolled endlessly.

Yet at the very instant the energy hand struck, the "Nether Water black dragon" suddenly opened its jaws—and from within, a brilliant blade of light shot forth.

It was a rapidly spinning blade-wheel!

The blade-wheel unleashed terrifying cutting and tearing force, striking like thunder, instantly shattering the energy hand, then roaring toward the Third Division of the Dark Blood Flag.

The sudden turn of events caused Li Tong's face to pale—he instantly realized he'd been tricked by Li Luo!

This bastard had hidden another powerful Dragon General Art within this Marquis Art!

The coordination between these two arts was executed with astonishing finesse!

The blade-wheel moved too fast—even Li Tong couldn't react in time. He could only rely on instinct, channeling "Harmonized Qi" to form an energy barrier before the Third Division of the Dark Blood Flag.

Shhh!

The blade-wheel roared in, slamming into the energy barrier, causing violent ripples to burst and spread.

A few seconds later.

The energy barrier shattered with a thunderous crash.

Though the brilliant blade-wheel had lost some of its power, its momentum remained undiminished—and, under Li Tong's furious stare, it plunged into the ranks of the Third Division of the Dark Blood Flag.

Puch!

Dozens of flag members instantly spat blood and were flung backward; some unlucky ones suffered critical injuries and were forced to withdraw immediately, leaving the battlefield in chaos.

In mere moments, the Third Division of the Dark Blood Flag had lost over a hundred flag members.

The Fifth Division of the Qingming Flag erupted into thunderous cheers, every flag member filled with excitement—they never imagined they'd gain such a decisive advantage over the Dark Blood Flag's Third Division! … "Li Luo!"

Li Tong roared in fury, his pupils brimming with tangible malice that twisted his already ferocious face. He hadn't expected this outcome either.

Originally, the Third Division of the Dark Blood Flag had come to toy with the Fifth Division of the Qingming Flag—but now, instead of mocking them, they'd been the first to suffer losses.

If this result reached the ears of the Dragon Bloodline, the Third Division of the Dark Blood Flag would become its laughingstock—and even Li Lu, the Grand Flag Chief of the Dark Blood Flag, would not spare them!

With this thought, Li Tong's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he bellowed: "Third Division of the Dark Blood Flag! If you don't want to become a joke of the Dragon Bloodline, give everything you've got—even your last breath!"

His eyes fierce, he swung his golden-ring greatsword straight down onto his own thumb—blood sprayed as his finger severed.

The many flag members of the Dark Blood Flag gritted their teeth, pulled out daggers, and slashed their arms—blood dripped upward into the air.

These droplets of blood converged rapidly toward Li Tong's severed finger, while the "Harmonized Qi" energy in the area flooded in like a torrent.

Thus, the severed finger seemed to gain life, writhing and swelling—within mere dozens of breaths, it transformed into a massive, several-hundred-zhang-tall flesh-and-blood body.

This flesh-body bore a dragon's head and a wolf's body, its form covered in dark-red scales, exuding rolling waves of ferocious malevolence that coalesced into thick, blood-hued mist.

A terrifying pressure surged forth like a tidal wave, causing the very void to warp.

This dragon-wolf resembled the one Li Tong had summoned earlier, but this one was far more lifelike, as if truly alive—and it had two dragon heads.

Both dragon heads bore fangs like daggers, crimson saliva dripping from their sharp teeth, corroding the ground.

"Flag Chief, be careful! This is the famed Mi Fa of the Dark Blood Flag—the 'Two-Headed Blood Dragon-Wolf'!" Zhao Zhao Yanzhi's tense voice reached Li Luo's ears.

Li Luo narrowed his eyes at the colossal form taking shape; the ferocity and aura radiating from this "Two-Headed Blood Dragon-Wolf" felt faintly close to the late-stage Da Tian Xiang Jing level.

The Dark Blood Flag truly had some ability.

"Li Luo, forcing us to unleash our ultimate technique shows you've got some talent," Li Tong's face flushed unnaturally, his own cultivation energy gradually weakening, while many flag members of the Third Division of the Dark Blood Flag grew pale and drained.

Clearly, activating this ultimate technique was a massive drain on the Third Division of the Dark Blood Flag.

But they had no choice—this battle could not be lost. Lose, and they couldn't answer to Grand Flag Chief Li Lu, nor could they escape becoming the Dragon Bloodline's laughingstock.

Li Luo gazed at Li Tong's ferocious eyes and nodded slightly. "Your 'Two-Headed Blood Dragon-Wolf'… does have some merit."

"Still pretending calm? How utterly stubborn—you'll die trying to save face! Prepare to lead your Qingming Flag Fifth Division out of here!" Li Tong sneered, repulsed by Li Luo's calm gaze.

Li Luo smiled and shook his head. "You really think you've got me cornered?"

"What else? Li Luo, your talent is indeed exceptional—but too bad, it's your misfortune to have been born in Outer Shenzhou!" Li Tong sneered.

Li Luo spoke coolly: "You seem to have forgotten that those who master the Nine-Turn Dragon Breath Refining Technique gain access to a 'Nine-Turn Art.'"

Li Tong's expression froze slightly, then he hissed coldly: "Don't try to bluff me. The Nine-Turn Art may be powerful—but you've only had it for a few days! How could you possibly have mastered it?"

"I don't care what happens later—but today, you will be cut down by the Third Division of the Dark Blood Flag!" As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed directly at Li Luo.

The blood-red, lantern-like eyes of the Two-Headed Blood Dragon Wolf immediately locked onto Li Luo. The next instant, a deafening dragon roar rang out, and within that dragon roar was mingled the howl of a wolf.

The Two-Headed Blood Dragon-Wolf's blood-red, lantern-like eyes locked onto Li Luo. The next instant, a deafening dragon roar erupted, mixed with the howling of wolves.

The Two-Headed Blood Dragon Wolf tore through the air, wrapped in an overwhelming aura of slaughter, like a beast of destruction, charging straight toward the Fifth Unit of the Green Nether Banner.

The Two-Headed Blood Dragon-Wolf tore through the air, surging with overwhelming slaughter energy, like a monstrous force of destruction, charging straight toward the Fifth Division of the Qingming Flag.

Where it passed, the earth cracked, the void trembled.

The faces of the Fifth Division of the Qingming Flag turned deathly pale, their eyes filled with terror.

【61】 "All flag members, calm your hearts and harmonize your Qi—the rest, leave to me!" At that moment, Li Luo's calm voice rang out, soothing the fear in every heart.

So they drew a deep breath, circulated the phase force within their bodies, and streams of energy rose up from within them, pouring into the surrounding energy lake.

Li Luo, on the other hand, gently closed his eyes, brought his hands together, and at his fingertips, hand seals began to shift like afterimages.

The vast energy around him began to rapidly converge toward him.

Roar!

The Twin-Headed Blood Dragon Wolf seemed to transform into a crimson baleful-energy torrent rushing forth. The violent, murderous aura sweeping in like a storm turned the faces of the Fifth Unit of the Azure Mystic Banner deathly pale. Even Zhao Zhao Yanzhi, Li Shi, Mu Bi, and the others at the Silver Baleful Physique realm found their breath catching, shock surfacing in their eyes.

In an instant, the Twin-Headed Blood Dragon Wolf had reached the front of the Fifth Unit of the Azure Mystic Banner.

Once it charged into their formation, the Fifth Unit of the Azure Mystic Banner would inevitably pay a heavy price.

Behind them, a wild joy had already surfaced in Li Tong's eyes. Though this time had been somewhat perilous, fortunately he had still achieved the final victory.

Next, their Third Unit of the Dark Blood Banner would rise to great fame within the Dragon Blood Vein.

And it was precisely when wild joy surged in Li Tong's eyes that he seemed to see Li Luo in the distance open his eyes. Then he saw Li Luo's mouth slowly begin to move, and faintly, it seemed as if boundless thunder was flickering within.

In addition, behind Li Luo, the vast energy that had converged was rapidly condensing into an incomparably massive dragon shadow. That dragon shadow radiated a mysterious, noble aura. Under the oppressive weight of this presence, even the Twin-Headed Blood Dragon Wolf seemed to freeze for an instant.

Then, that massive dragon shadow opened its dragon maw.

At that moment, a chill rose from the soles of Li Tong's feet and shot straight to the crown of his head.

Because he recalled a rather familiar Nine Transformations Art.

"Nine Transformations Art, Heavenly Dragon Thunder Breath!"

And at that very same instant, he saw a dazzling, resplendent torrent roar forth from Li Luo and the massive bloody maw of the dragon shadow behind him.

Within that torrent, it seemed as if there was boundless thunder magma, with thunder madly leaping within it, releasing boundless destructive power.

Wherever the thunder magma dragon breath passed, even the energy of heaven and earth seemed to melt away, turning into nothingness.

And what turned into nothingness at the same time was the Twin-Headed Blood Dragon Wolf that had previously radiated a heaven-piercing baleful aura.

Under the scouring of the thunder dragon breath, this Twin-Headed Blood Dragon Wolf lasted less than a few breaths before vanishing into thin air.

Then, the thunder dragon breath, like a torrent, lost none of its momentum. Under the horrified gazes of Li Tong and the Third Unit of the Dark Blood Banner, it swept straight over and engulfed them all.

A few breaths later, when the thunder dispersed, only a charred blackness stretching across the hills remained.

And the Third Unit of the Dark Blood Banner was nowhere to be seen.
