Chapter 945: The Effect of Xiao Wu Xiang Fire

Hum!

Li Luo flapped his energy dragon wings and shot forward like lightning, colliding with a "guardian spirit" of roughly One-Star Tian Zhu Jing strength, his Jin Yu Zhu Xuan Xiang Dao slashing through the air with fierce blade light.

The blade light struck the "guardian spirit's" body but drew no blood—only caused ripples of energy to spread across its surface, as the energy within it surged out and swiftly dissipated the blade light.

Seeing this, Li Luo's third eye mark glowed faintly.

"Dragon Aura!"

A powerful, domineering pressure swept from Li Luo's forehead, engulfing the "guardian spirit" ahead; the pressure immediately disrupted the energy flow within it, causing noticeable instability.

Seeing this, Li Luo slashed directly—his strike carried astonishing momentum, accompanied by a loud dragon's roar.

"Nine-Scale Heavenly Dragon Battle Body, Three Dragon Powers!"

The dragon mark on Li Luo's forehead pulsed with light; the blade light cleaved through the air, producing a piercing sonic boom, and with one downward slash, it split the "guardian spirit" cleanly in two.

After slaying one "guardian spirit," Li Luo had no time to rest—he spun and charged toward another, for as more "Spirit Phase Golden Dew" emerged, more "guardian spirits" appeared across the heavens, their strength continuously rising.

Inside the valley now, chaos raged, fiercely intense.

Aside from those collecting the "Spirit Phase Golden Dew," everyone else had already engaged—including Li Li Lingjing.

Yet thanks to Li Li Lingjing's powerful reinforcement, their formation still held firm, though all were locked in a grueling, unrelenting battle with no chance to rest.

Moreover, in Li Luo's perception, "guardian spirits" kept arriving continuously through the strange array.

This became so obvious later that even Li Li Fuling and the others could clearly sense it.

"That bastard Li Li Wuyuan is still transferring them—get me angry enough and I'll abandon this place and let them play with themselves!" Li Li Fuling, alone holding off three Five-Star Tian Zhu Jing "guardian spirits," snarled, her face dark with fury.

"Forget it, don't curse—abandoning now would mean all our efforts are wasted," Li Zhu Xuan, former Grand Standard-Bearer of the Qingming Flag, sighed in resignation.

Li Li Fuling clenched her silver teeth; abandoning was just an outburst—yet the endless flood of "guardian spirits" was indeed placing immense pressure on them.

For now, they could only hope to hold out until all the "Spirit Phase Golden Dew" had fully manifested.

While they spoke, Li Luo was again battling another "guardian spirit"; though these "guardian spirits" had limited attack methods, their energy-body nature made them notoriously hard to kill, their durability far exceeding that of cultivators of the same level.

Thus, the most troublesome aspect of eliminating "guardian spirits" was the sheer energy drain.

It would be better if we could be more efficient.

Li Luo fell into thought, then suddenly had an idea—he raised his simple straight blade, and a transparent flame emerged upon its edge.

Xiao Wu Xiang Fire.

Aside from its minor use in refining "Postnatal Phases," Li Luo had never known what this was good for; since "Xiao Wu Xiang Divine Forging Art" received considerable favor in this space, might the "Xiao Wu Xiang Fire" cultivated from it also have some effect?

Thinking this, Li Luo swung his blade forward—the blade light, sharp and swift, slashed toward the "guardian spirit."

As the blade light descended, Li Luo was startled to feel violent energy fluctuations ripple across the "guardian spirit's" body—even its form recoiled two steps, as if this mindless "guardian spirit" had suddenly felt a sense of fear.

This discovery left Li Luo incredulous.

Under Li Luo's gaze, the blade light wreathed in transparent flame struck the "guardian spirit's" body—and then a miraculous thing happened: the "guardian spirit," which had withstood several of Li Luo's attacks only by dimming its energy, now ignited from within like grease meeting flame.

, and was directly ignited from within.

Li Luo clearly saw the surging energy within the "guardian spirit" melting away at an astonishing rate.

Within mere seconds, the "guardian spirit" before him was completely burned to nothing.

Li Luo froze in shock.

Though he had suspected his guess might work, he never imagined the effect would be this overwhelming.

A single slash—directly vaporized a One-Star Tian Zhu Jing "guardian spirit."
