Chapter 828: Wind Lightning Plantain Fan

While Li Luo was pondering ways to deal with Qin Yi, Qin Yi was the first to launch an attack, clearly no longer intending to continue entangling with Li Luo.

Vast, boundless pale-blue phase power erupted from within her body, phase power like an ocean, massive waves surging, shaking the void.

Qin Yi tapped with a jade finger, and within that surging phase power, countless sword-like water-fish split off; these water-fish were sharp all over — calling them fish was a stretch, they were more like countless water swords.

These water-fish pierced through the air, sweeping toward Li Luo, and as they cut across the void, faint trails appeared in the empty space.

Lightning flickered beneath Li Luo's feet, and in a flash he appeared a hundred zhang away, but those water-fish clung to him like a bone-rotting ulcer, immediately pursuing.

His expression unchanged, he gripped the Profound Elephant Blade and slashed down fiercely; a resplendent blade wheel condensed into being, spinning at high speed, releasing terrifying cutting force.

At the edge of the blade wheel, even space showed signs of distortion.

The blade wheel whistled out, and wherever it passed, water-fish were shredded one after another.

But the water-fish came in an endless stream, as if inexhaustible; in the end the blade wheel's light dimmed, swarmed by countless water-fish, and was torn apart into a skyful of light specks.

Then, like a school of fish, they came in pursuit of Li Luo.

Li Luo kept retreating and dodging. In terms of raw strength, there was indeed an obvious gap between them — Qin Yi was at the peak of the Upper First-Grade Marquis tier, while he was only at the Lower First-Grade Marquis. If not for his third-realm dual-phase power, any clash of phase power between them would have seen him routed in an instant.

It was also thanks to the unimaginably wondrous effect of his third-realm dual-phase power that her ninth-grade phase power had failed to achieve an utterly crushing result.

But even so, in this kind of grinding fight, Li Luo held no advantage.

In the past, relying on his own water phase, he could still outlast his opponents; but now, facing Qin Yi who possessed a ninth-grade water phase, Li Luo would have to be out of his mind to compete with her over whose phase power was more enduring and long-lasting.

As his figure kept retreating and dodging, he was also brewing the killing move that would decide the outcome.

If it works, it works; if even this move fails, Li Luo felt he might have no choice but to unleash the power of the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf.

On the crystal plaza, Qin Yi launched wave after wave of surging attacks; rumbling water-sounds echoed, and countless piercing water-lines streaked toward Li Luo to kill. Such a dense offensive forced Li Luo into a rather sorry state.

Even wounds appeared on his body.

Fortunately, he himself also possessed water, light, and wood phases — phases with strong recovery — so he could at least slow the spread of his injuries.

But anyone could see that in the current situation, Qin Yi held the complete upper hand.

Perhaps, after a little more time passed, once Li Luo's phase power was exhausted, Qin Yi would be able to claim victory easily.

However, as time went on, Qin Yi sensed something was off. Although Li Luo kept dodging in a sorry manner, the energy flowing around him was beginning to grow somewhat violent.

"Still won't give up?"

Qin Yi instantly saw through Li Luo's plan. She stared at Li Luo's body — there were many wounds on its surface. Although Li Luo was rapidly healing them, fresh blood still seeped out, soaking his clothes and making him look rather wretched.

This guy's tenacity was, unexpectedly, strong.

But in today's battle, she could not afford to hold back even the slightest bit.

So Qin Yi no longer hesitated. Her slender jade fingers came together, her hand-seals shifting like butterflies in flight; at the same time, within the surging, endless energy torrent behind her — like a vast ocean — countless vortexes took shape.

From within the vortexes, water-lines shot out one after another; wherever the water-lines passed, faint trails were left in the void.

These water-lines were filled with piercing and cutting force — the most common form of attack for water-phase power.

However, when Qin Yi made her move, it naturally would not be ordinary.

Her jade hands came together, and the countless water-lines gathered at one spot, converging into a stream of deep-blue water about the size of a palm.

This stream of water looked extraordinarily calm, like a gently gurgling spring; yet the moment it appeared, Li Luo was startled, a sense of intense crisis rising in his heart.

His gaze swept over and fixed on that stream of deep-blue water; he felt that if this stream passed through him, his body would likely be pierced through in an instant.

Clearly, Qin Yi also had no intention of dragging things out any longer.

On Qin Yi's exquisitely beautiful face, water-light shimmered, and within those pale-blue pupils, a cold, piercing look spread.

"Marquis-rank Art, Ten-Thousand-Line Water Kill." Her calm voice slowly rang out at this moment.

Boom!

As her voice fell, that stream of deep-blue water suddenly shot forth, piercing through the void, and the sharp crack of a sonic boom rang out.

But it did not end there. Qin Yi's jade finger tapped down through empty air, and water-mirrors suddenly appeared in midair; each time the deep-blue water stream passed through a water-mirror, light refracted out, and in the blink of an eye, the deep-blue water stream had multiplied by one.

After dozens of such refractions, hundreds of deep-blue water streams could be seen majestically tearing through the void above the crystal plaza, sweeping down to blanket Li Luo's position.

Such a move made Li Luo's pupils contract slightly. He knew that among these hundreds of deep-blue water streams, only one was real; the rest were phantoms and illusions meant to confuse the eye.

But it was extremely effective.

In the past, when Li Luo fought others, he had often used his water-phase power in this same way.

Li Luo raised his head, staring at the skyful of deep-blue water streams tearing through the void and bearing down on him in overwhelming fashion; these water streams exuded a sky-soaring killing intent.

Hoo—

He took a deep breath, then formed the final hand-seal in his hands, and the killing move he had been brewing was unleashed at this moment.

Rumble rumble rumble!

Violent energy roared around him, drawing the world's energy to pour in one after another.

As more and more energy gathered, a roughly ten-zhang-tall phantom gradually materialized in front of Li Luo; looking closely, it appeared to be a plantain fan.

However, this plantain fan was wreathed in wind and lightning light.

A baleful, murderous aura surged skyward.

Li Luo reached out his hand and gripped the plantain fan's handle. The technique he was now employing was precisely the third Nine-Turn technique he had obtained from the Dragon Stele.

Wind Lightning Plantain Fan.

This phase technique was a pure offensive art.

Li Luo's gaze grew solemn. He gripped the plantain fan tightly, feeling the extremely violent energy surging within it, yet he understood in his heart that even with this Wind Lightning Plantain Fan, he likely could not grievously wound Qin Yi.

So, with a thought, a wisp of sword-intent coiled within one of the phase palaces in his body was activated.

That wisp of sword-intent was not strong, but when it coiled within the phase palace, the many Earth-Fiend Mysterious Lights circulating within all kept their distance from it, not daring to come anywhere near.

The sword-intent flowed out, and was finally channeled by Li Luo into the Wind Lightning Plantain Fan in his hand.

And at this moment, the skyful of deep-blue water streams came surging in to kill.

Li Luo, too, gripped the fan handle with all his might, then, his face grim and murderous, brought the fan sweeping down with tremendous force.
