Chapter 908: The Dragon Blood Balance

Upon the stone platform shrouded in swirling clouds and mist.

Li Luo and Li Li Qingfeng stood facing each other.

Outside that arena, countless gazes watched with bated breath; the struggle for the Dragon Head in this generation would be decided in this very match.

And at this moment, if one's gaze turned to where the four banners of the Dragon Blood Lineage and the Dragon Tooth Lineage were gathered, one would find the atmosphere here had completely boiled over; tens of thousands of banner followers from both sides were hoarsely shouting encouragement for their respective Great Banner Leaders.

After all, the position of Dragon Head represented the leader of the twenty banners and also the helmsman of this generation of the Five Dragon Lineages; though the power might not be great, it was a glory full of substantial worth.

Once this position was obtained, one's fame would naturally spread throughout the Outer Shenzhou, causing one's reputation to soar, and no one would dare look down on one again.

And the lineage one belonged to would cultivate one as a mainstay, with a promising future ahead.

At a spot outside the arena, the three Great Banner Leaders of the Dragon Blood Lineage gathered together; Li Li Hongli stared at the arena, gritting her teeth and saying, "Finally, we have reached this match; as long as Brother Li Qingfeng crushes that country bumpkin, their previous pride will vanish into thin air!"

"The Ascending Dragon has too many other interfering factors and counts for little; only those who win in such true combat have the qualification to become the Dragon Head of the twenty banners!"

The other two Great Banner Leaders of the Dragon Blood Lineage also nodded heavily, saying, "This position must belong to our Dragon Blood Lineage!"

Previously, Li Luo's victory in the Ascending Dragon step had dealt a considerable blow to the morale of their Dragon Blood Lineage; after all, the Dragon Blood Lineage was the mountain-leading lineage of the Li Li Tianwang branch, usually holding the most exalted status, so as members of the Dragon Blood Lineage, they were naturally proud; and in this generation, Li Li Qingfeng had always been far ahead of everyone else, with no one qualified to challenge him, so from the very beginning, they had regarded that Dragon Head position as something already within their grasp.

But who could have thought that a dark horse named Li Luo would suddenly appear in the middle of it all.

It must be known that before this, although Li Luo had led the Green Mist Banner to achieve many eye-catching results, and even unexpectedly won the Golden Dragon Pillar in the Dragon Pool Struggle, that still had many external factors involved, plus there was the support of "Combined Qi," so let alone others, even Li Li Fengyi and Li Jingtang probably didn't think at the very beginning that Li Luo could go very far in the Dragon Head Struggle.

Because the Dragon Head Struggle could only rely on one's own true strength.

And a Fiend Body Realm cultivator, even if they had truly condensed the Three-Light Glazed Glass, how could they fight against someone like Li Li Qingfeng in the Tian Zhu Jing realm?

However, the final result turned out to be vastly different from what they had thought.

In the Ascending Dragon, Li Luo broke through by borrowing momentum, stepping into the Extreme Fiend Realm, greatly narrowing the gap between himself and Li Li Qingfeng; and even previously, he had defeated Lu Lu Qingmei.

At this moment, everyone had to admit that Li Luo already possessed the qualification to threaten Li Li Qingfeng.

Even Li Li Hongli knew this, so the only thing that could reverse the situation now was this very battle; as long as Li Li Qingfeng defeated Li Luo, then the Dragon Tooth Lineage would have to obediently continue to remain behind the Dragon Blood Lineage.

The sharp momentum that had just risen would also be brutally beaten down.

"I never expected that the person competing with me for the Dragon Head would turn out to be you." On that stone platform watched by the multitude, Li Li Qingfeng stared at Li Luo and said in a flat tone.

Li Luo revealed a gentle smile and said sincerely, "I am actually not very interested in the Dragon Head; if Great Banner Leader Li Li Qingfeng is willing to give the 'Nine-Ringed Sacred Heart Lotus' to me, then I am fine with not fighting for this Dragon Head."

Li Li Qingfeng said indifferently, "This object is useful for my father, so it is impossible to let you have it."

Li Luo sighed and said, "Then there is nothing to discuss."

"There was never anything to discuss; the position of Dragon Head, I am determined to obtain; if you do not wish to fight, you may surrender on your own, otherwise, once we engage, I will show no mercy," Li Li Qingfeng said slowly.

Facing the sharp-edged Li Li Qingfeng, Li Luo smiled.

Seeing this, Li Li Qingfeng spoke no more; behind him, brilliant light points appeared, and then, while spinning at high speed, they transformed into a dazzling Tian Zhu, swallowing and spitting out the energy of heaven and earth.

Immediately, his momentum climbed step by step; the strength of that Xiang Power was even superior to Lu Lu Qingmei's.

But this was not yet the end.

Li Li Qingfeng formed seals with both hands; at this moment, his skin subtly turned crimson, and one could vaguely see his blood inside seeming to flow.

And this blood finally broke through his body, rapidly condensing beside that Tian Zhu behind him, ultimately forming a crimson light point.

The crimson light point spun at high speed, actually absorbing the energy of heaven and earth; this appearance looked as if it were a second Tian Zhu!

With the appearance of this crimson Tian Zhu, the Xiang Power within Li Li Qingfeng's body surged again by a large margin, and a powerful oppressive pressure covered the entire arena.

It was actually not inferior to a true Two-Star Tian Zhu Jing!

Li Luo's expression also changed slightly at this moment, and then his eyes became extremely Solemn; Li Li Qingfeng's opening move had already revealed not inconsiderable techniques.

"This is a technique unique to our Dragon Blood Lineage, the Dragon Blood Art."

"It can burn blood to amplify oneself; I have cultivated deeply in this Marquis-Sealing Art, achieving a small level of mastery, so I can use it to transform into a blood bead," Li Li Qingfeng said slowly, his expression calm and confident.

Huh!

Outside the arena, a sound of commotion also rose; Li Li Fengyi and Li Jingtang both showed worry on their faces. They were not unfamiliar with the Dragon Blood Lineage's Dragon Blood Art, but they never expected that Li Li Qingfeng could cultivate it to directly amplify a Tian Zhu level; this was far stronger than Li Li Hongli and others.

And when Li Li Qingfeng's words fell, his figure had already shot out; amidst flowing blood light, he was unexpectedly ghostly and swift.

With a flash of blood light, he appeared directly in front of Li Luo, and then threw out an utterly ordinary punch.

Boom!

This punch, though seemingly simple, under the strength enhancement equivalent to a Two-Star Tian Zhu from Li Li Qingfeng, caused the air to explode; the heavy oppressive pressure even made faint ripples appear in the void.

"Thunder Body, Triple Thunder Sound!"

"Elephant God Power, Third Layer!"

The dual Xiang Power within Li Luo's body surged violently; simultaneously, he activated both layers of amplification without hesitation, and then also poured out all his strength to punch back.

The two figures' fist lights crashed heavily together; a sonic boom resounded, and the stone slabs beneath their feet constantly cracked.

And in this collision, Li Li Qingfeng's figure merely swayed slightly, whereas Li Luo, on the other hand, felt a powerful force surge towards him, forcibly knocking him back more than ten steps.

At this moment, the tens of thousands of banner followers of the Dragon Blood Lineage were all greatly cheered, shouting in celebration.

After all, looking at true strength, Li Li Qingfeng still held an absolute advantage.

Li Luo stabilized his figure, his eyes becoming even more Solemn; the previous punch had also tested Li Li Qingfeng's Xiang Power, which indeed reached the level of a Two-Star Tian Zhu, all due to that crimson Tian Zhu.

And the Dragon Blood Lineage was indeed skilled at activating the bloodline within the body, and then amplifying oneself to fight the enemy.

Li Li Qingfeng stopped and stood, his expression calm, saying, "Li Luo, in this confrontation, you have actually already lost half."

He raised his finger, and a drop of fresh blood rose at his fingertip.

Li Luo's eyebrows furrowed slightly; he glanced at the fist that had collided earlier; at the moment of contact, Li Li Qingfeng seemed to have taken a drop of his blood.

"Li Luo, since you returned from the Outer Shenzhou, naturally you do not know the techniques our Dragon Blood Lineage is skilled at."

Li Li Qingfeng held one hand behind his back and said indifferently, "Do you know why our Dragon Blood Lineage can become the mountain-leading lineage?"

He clapped his palms together, holding that drop of Li Luo's blood between them, and then directly smashed it; immediately, blood threads spread out, forming a faint crimson rune.

"That is because, for the Dragon's entire body, the bloodline is supreme."

Blood light at this moment swept across from Li Li Qingfeng's palm like a torrent; in that instant, it actually transformed into a crimson balance scale of about several dozen zhang.

And on the two ends of the scale stood Li Luo and Li Li Qingfeng.

Li Luo slashed directly with his blade, the sharp blade light falling upon the crimson scale, yet it failed to touch it, instead piercing straight through as if the crimson scale were not truly real.

"This is the Dragon Blood Scale Art, a technique of my Dragon Bloodline to balance the four bloodlines, using a single drop of the opponent's fresh blood as a medium to create the Dragon Blood Scale."

Li Li Qingfeng said calmly, "The scale operates, weighing the Heavenly Dragon bloodlines within both bodies; the one with the denser and purer bloodline wins, while the loser shall lose half their blood."

"This technique is fair and just; it concerns neither realm nor strength, but only the bloodline."

Li Luo's eyes sharpened; did this Dragon Bloodline possess such a bizarre technique? Losing half one's blood would naturally affect one's strength.

Yet he did not know how to counter this technique, nor could he even destroy it.

This technique seems to have little effect on outsiders, but for the other four bloodlines, it holds a suppressing effect; after all, if one truly compares the purity and density of the Heavenly Dragon bloodline within the body, who can surpass the Dragon Bloodline, which excels in this very path?

After all, the numerous Marquis-Sealing Arts of the Dragon Bloodline rely upon the strength of their own bloodline.

Thus, once this technique is successfully cast, those of the Dragon Bloodline gain every advantage; no wonder it is said this technique can be used to balance the other four bloodlines.

And while Li Luo pondered these thoughts, the Li Li Qingfeng before him activated the hand seal; in the next moment, light flowed upon the crimson scale, and this peculiar technique began to operate.
