Chapter 826: The Flawless Water-Jade Body

Roar!

The black dragon roared, wrapping surging black water around itself; its bone-chilling, sharp aura exploded sky-high, even cracking the void with traces of force.

The entire crystal plaza seemed to tremble at this moment.

Li Luo's attack this time had reached the strongest level he could currently unleash; not only did he activate the Elephant Divine Power, the Thunderous Body, and the Dual-Phase Power of the Third Realm within himself, but he also cast the "Heavenly Dragon Dharma Manifestation," a Nine-Turn Art.

With the blessing of the "Heavenly Dragon Dharma Manifestation," the power of his "Black Dragon Netherwater Flag" was far stronger than ever before.

Under the amplification of so many methods, although Li Luo was only at the power level of a Lower-Grade Marquis, he was confident that with this single strike, he could severely injure a powerful enemy of the Upper-Grade Marquis!

The black dragon roared as it arrived, its massive shadow completely covering Qin Yi's slender figure; at such a distance, the Phase Power defense around Qin Yi collapsed almost instantly.

A slight tremor clearly appeared in her pupils; as her jade hand rose, numerous lights flickered, and light patterns formed by condensed water liquid emerged, seemingly creating a layer of protection.

But this hastily formed protection achieved little effect against Li Luo's all-out attack.

In merely one breath, the light patterns shattered directly.

Then the black dragon roared down, wrapping bone-chilling black water around itself; violent energy swept out, tearing the ground here into a thousand holes, while Qin Yi's figure was fiercely struck by the black dragon's claws.

Boom!

The void trembled, and a deafening sonic boom rang out.

Visible ripples spread out in the void.

Qin Yi's figure shot backward as if struck heavily, and along her path, more than ten huge crystal pillars were snapped in half at the waist; furthermore, a deep trace hundreds of zhang long was torn into the ground.

It almost split the plaza in two.

The sound of the crystal pillars collapsing echoed continuously across the plaza.

And this clash here was also reflected at the same moment onto the sky above the Dragon Pool; surrounding many guests all imprinted this scene into their eyes.

Many people's eyelids twitched; Li Luo's hand was truly ruthless, and facing a young Miss like Qin Yi who was so delicate and charming, he had not intended to hold back even a little.

However, Li Luo's previous attack was somewhat surprising to people.

Clearly only at the power level of a Lower-Grade Marquis, yet the power that exploded in that instant was comparable to an Upper-Grade Marquis.

Under such an assault, even Qin Yi, caught off guard, would likely suffer.

Within the Five Dragon Veins, some cheers erupted; Li Luo's counterattack this time obviously greatly exceeded their expectations; originally they thought that under such an obvious gap, Li Luo would inevitably be in an absolutely inferior position.

As for those many cheers, Qin Qin Lian's expression did not change much; only the gaze fixed on Li Luo's figure in the light screen became somewhat more cold and deep.

The five Vein Heads revealed no emotion, their eyes calm as a deep pool, staring at the light screen.

With their vision, they naturally saw much deeper; Li Luo's previous attack was indeed unexpectedly fierce; if it were an ordinary Upper-Grade Marquis expert, they would likely have been severely injured by Li Luo's sudden explosive assault, but... that Qin Yi was not ordinary.

On the crystal plaza.

Li Luo's gaze also locked onto the place where the crystal pillars had collapsed; Qin Yi's figure was buried within them.

Having landed a hit, Li Luo did not lose his head; his eyes flashed, the Falcon Bow appeared in his hand, and then he directly drew the bowstring, letting Phase Power flow out from within his body.

Boom! Boom!

In the next instant, more than ten lightning arrows resembling dragon teeth broke through the air and directly bombarded the place where the crystal pillars had collapsed.

However, just as these lightning arrows were about to strike there, a pale blue water curtain appeared out of thin air; the lightning arrows struck it, setting off waves of ripples.

Then both sides gradually dissipated.

Seeing this, Li Luo sighed lightly; no wonder it was Qin Yi; even such an assault failed to severely injure her.

Pale blue Phase Power light rose gradually from where the crystal pillars had collapsed, and the crystal boulders that had buried down rapidly melted away at this moment.

After a few breaths, Qin Yi's figure appeared in Li Luo's line of sight.

At this time, Qin Yi was also slightly disheveled; her long skirt was somewhat torn, revealing skin as white as mutton-fat jade; meanwhile, on her lower abdomen, several deep claw marks had torn open her skin, leaving deep wounds.

Clearly, having endured Li Luo's shocking strike earlier, Qin Yi had also paid a price.

But it was not as serious as Li Luo had imagined.

His gaze fixed on the skin exposed beneath Qin Yi's skirt; that faintly visible snow-white invited endless fantasies, yet he felt no sense of impropriety; instead, he stared tightly, not blinking his eyes.

Because he saw that mysterious runes seemed to appear on Qin Yi's skin; these runes seemed to be engraved within the flesh and blood, with strange light flowing; under this strange light, the somewhat fierce wounds on Qin Yi's lower abdomen were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye; after more than ten breaths, the wounds vanished, and the skin became perfect and flawless once more, like jade.

Li Luo's expression became somewhat solemn; the injuries caused by his attack just now were repaired by Qin Yi so easily.

This was somewhat unreasonable; one must know that his attack just now contained the Dual-Phase Power of the Third Realm and the erosion of Netherwater; if struck by this, dissolving it would not be easy.

Yet Qin Yi managed it.

Gazing at that perfect, exquisite jade body, Li Luo's eyelids twitched, and he said helplessly: "This is... a Body-Refining Marquis Art?"

Water light flowed over Qin Yi's delicate body; beneath the water light, even the somewhat damaged skirt gradually returned to its original state; her gaze was indifferent, emitting a certain coldness, and she responded lightly: "This is the Derivation-Deity Level Marquis Art of my Qin Li Tianwang lineage, the Water-Jade Flawless Body; indeed, it is a Body-Refining Marquis Art."

Li Luo smiled bitterly and shook his head; this was not only a Body-Refining Marquis Art, but also a Derivation-Deity Level one!

No wonder Qin Yi was the number one person of her generation in the Qin Li Tianwang lineage; probably no one would have thought that she, who looked so delicate, had cultivated a Body-Refining Marquis Art.

So it turns out that the strength of the physical body is Qin Yi's advantage.

Judging from the speed at which her injuries healed earlier, this so-called "Water-Jade Flawless Body" obviously possessed terrifying recovery power; regarding this point, Li Luo, who also possessed Water Phase, knew best; he had often relied on the recovery power of Water Phase to disgust opponents before, but he never expected that one day, he, Li Luo, would also be disgusted by someone using the same method.

Li Luo's eyes flickered; facing such a physical body with extremely astonishing recovery power, unless he could completely severely injure Qin Yi with a thunderous assault, otherwise she could completely drag things out with him relying on this recovery power.

But ironically, between the two of them, he was the one whose foundation could not withstand a long war of attrition.

After all, Qin Yi was at the peak strength of an Upper-Grade Marquis; in every aspect, she was far more substantial than him, a Lower-Grade Marquis.

"Flag Head Li Luo truly opens one's eyes; if I did not have this 'Water-Jade Flawless Body' this time, I would probably have suffered severe injuries from that strike earlier."

Qin Yi's light words rang out in the crystal plaza; yet from her calm and pleasant voice, Li Luo sensed a cold aura.

Clearly, his attack earlier had thoroughly angered her.

"However, one should not return a favor without receiving one; please, Flag Head Li Luo, also taste the method I have prepared for you." Qin Yi's jade hands formed a seal slowly before her.

Hearing this, Li Luo's figure suddenly retreated violently, while Phase Power within his body exploded completely.

However, just at the moment his figure retreated, he suddenly saw that on the surface of his body, dots of blue light appeared; these light dots seemed to be some kind of mysterious light pattern.

These light patterns were obviously Qin Yi's handiwork, but even Li Luo did not know when exactly she had left these marks on him.

"When you launched your attack, I wasn't caught off guard—I was simply preparing a technique for you as well." Qin Yi said calmly.

The next instant, a torrent of water-light erupted from the light patterns on Li Luo's body surface, and then Li Luo felt himself become extremely heavy, as if he were at the bottom of an endless sea, crushed by terrifying water pressure.

He raised his head and saw that the light formed by those patterns seemed to coalesce into a massive, indistinct figure that enveloped him within it.

This indistinct figure appeared to be in the shape of a woman, and Li Luo, trapped within it, happened to be positioned at its abdomen—seen from afar, it looked rather eerily like a fetus within a womb.

"This is the technique I've prepared for Li Luo, the Banner Head."

"Secret Art: Return-to-Womb Art."

As Qin Yi's voice drifted over slowly, Li Luo was shocked to feel that the resonant force within his body was beginning to drain away at a startling speed.

And the direction of that drain was precisely toward the indistinct figure covering him outside.

This Qin Yi—she actually intended to first siphon the resonant force from within him!

And without resonant force, Li Luo at that point would undoubtedly be a fish on a chopping block, at her mercy to be carved up!
