Chapter 947: Luring the Enemy into the Valley

Through the mountain forest, a group of people swept past at high speed; as their phase force rose and rubbed against the air, it produced faint sonic booms, leaving thin trails of vapor behind every figure.

This group radiated a fierce momentum, with killing intent hidden within.

Among them were faces familiar to Li Luo—Zhao Zhao Shenjiang and Zhao Zhao Jingyu—though neither was leading. The leader was a youth from Zhao Li Tianwang's line named Zhao Zhao Fengxu, of the same generation as Zhao Yan, currently at the strength of a Seven-Star Tian Zhu Jing.

Besides those from Zhao Li Tianwang's line, there were several helpers from Yanmodian, the strongest among them having reached Six-Star Tian Zhu Jing.

"The Dragon Fang Line people are in this direction. Judging by the time, they should still be tangled with the 'Guardian Spirits' right now. If we rush there at full speed, we'll definitely reach them before they finish clearing the 'Guardian Spirits.' When we ambush them then, they'll be unable to attend to both ends!" Zhao Zhao Jingyu's face was full of excitement and viciousness; he hadn't expected to run into Li Luo so quickly, and at a moment when Li Luo was in such a sorry state.

This time, he would definitely avenge the grudge from the Xiling Dark Territory!

"Don't worry. This time the people of Li Li Tianwang's line have fallen into this pit—how could we possibly let them walk away unscathed without paying some price?" the leader Zhao Zhao Fengxu said with a smile.

Zhao Zhao Shenjiang gripped his heavy spear tightly, his eyes full of arrogance and cruelty: "If there's a chance, leave that Li Luo to me. Once I cripple the Dragon Head of Li Li Tianwang's line in this generation, every prodigy of their generation will never be able to hold their heads up before our Zhao Li Tianwang's line."

No one found Zhao Zhao Shenjiang's arrogant words to be overblown, because his talent not only dominated this generation—even the previous generation's Zhao Yan was somewhat inferior to him. Given time, Zhao Zhao Shenjiang might well surpass the latter.

Zhao Zhao Fengxu nodded and said: "Later, that Li Luo—leave him to you, Zhao Shenjiang."

Then the group sped up, the trees rapidly retreating on all sides. After quite a while, a mountain valley appeared within Zhao Zhao Shenjiang and the others' line of sight.

At that moment, violent sounds of energy bombardment kept coming from within the valley, pillars of phase force surging skyward.

"They're indeed still tangled with the 'Guardian Spirits.'" Seeing this, Zhao Zhao Fengxu couldn't help showing delight, then hurriedly waved his hand. His figure moved, and he was the first to charge into the valley.

The others hesitated slightly upon seeing this, but ultimately followed quickly—after all, even if there really were no 'Guardian Spirits,' their side still had more people.

The group rushed into the valley. The terrain inside was complex, the vegetation deep and dense. After weaving through it for a while, they were somewhat startled to find that although the place was a mess, not a single figure from the Dragon Fang Line was to be seen.

And the 'Guardian Spirits' also seemed to have vanished without a trace.

"What's going on?" someone asked in alarm.

Zhao Zhao Fengxu's expression was also uncertain with shock and suspicion. He didn't advance further, but swept his gaze across the dead-silent valley and said in a low voice: "Fall back first!"

Although he didn't understand why the 'Guardian Spirits' here had all disappeared, it indicated the Dragon Fang Line had freed their hands. The enemy was in the dark, they in the light—they had to be careful.

However, the instant their figures moved, everyone suddenly noticed that the world's energy within the valley had begun to churn violently.

"My friends, since you've come all this way, if we don't leave you missing a hand or a foot, wouldn't that make our Dragon Fang Line poor hosts?" At that moment, a burst of laughter also rang out from the cliff face within the mountain forest.

Zhao Zhao Fengxu, Zhao Zhao Shenjiang, and the others jerked their heads up, only to see a group of people appear in that direction—and the one speaking was Li Luo.

"Run!"

Zhao Zhao Fengxu's gaze darkened, but he didn't waste words with Li Luo. Instead, he was the first to shoot skyward, attempting to leave the valley's range.

But at that moment, everyone on the Dragon Fang Line's side struck together. Vast energy whistled out, transforming into layer upon layer of light screens that covered the sky above the valley.

Zhao Zhao Fengxu and the others hurriedly channeled their attacks, trying to break through, but in that brief span of time, they were held up.

Li Luo watched with a smile as Zhao Zhao Fengxu and the others sensed the danger and tried to flee frantically. He extended a finger and snapped a stylish snap.

He detonated the flame fuses he had buried underground earlier.

Boom!

At that instant, the valley shook violently, as if an earth dragon had turned over. Pillars of vast, terrifying energy shot skyward, directly stirring the world's energy in this valley region into a frenzy.

Everyone's face changed drastically at the sheer intensity of this world's energy.

Even Li Li Fuling and the others wore expressions of terror.

They had no idea that beneath this valley, such a vast amount of world's energy was hidden—and most critically, how had Li Luo triggered it?

But Li Luo had no time to enlighten them now, because as the world's energy surged and condensed, large numbers of 'Guardian Spirits' began to materialize in midair.

These 'Guardian Spirits,' whether in strength or numbers, were far stronger than those they had encountered before.

Among them, there were even 'Guardian Spirits' at the Seven-Star Tian Zhu Jing!

Of course, along with the appearance of the 'Guardian Spirits,' 'Spirit Phase Golden Dew' also began to continuously condense in midair. The quantity of it made Li Li Fuling, Li Li Fengyi, and the others' eyes gleam with greed.

But no one dared to move yet, afraid that one wrong move would draw those 'Guardian Spirits' over.

Zhao Zhao Fengxu and the others stared at those 'Guardian Spirits' with parched mouths. How could they not realize by now that they had been set up by the Dragon Fang Line—the other side had been waiting for them to enter this valley, then triggered this vast energy from who-knows-where to form 'Guardian Spirits' to cut them down.

"Retreat slowly."

Zhao Zhao Fengxu lowered his voice, trying to retreat step by step.

But it was ultimately futile, because they were closer to the 'Guardian Spirits' and were also within the energy-erupting valley. So the moment those 'Guardian Spirits' appeared, in the next instant, under their shocked and furious gazes, they came charging straight at them.

"The rest of you hold them off—send a distress signal!" Zhao Zhao Fengxu roared.

Then he charged out first, seven resplendent Tian Zhu manifesting behind him, frantically devouring the world's energy. He immediately unleashed his cultivated Marquis-Grade Art, and instantly wild winds raged across the world, azure winds sweeping forth, transforming into beast shadows, attempting to block the 'Guardian Spirits.'

Zhao Zhao Shenjiang also clenched his teeth, his gaze ferociously fixed on Li Luo's direction, and said with chilling menace: "Li Luo, if you've got the guts, stop using these tricks and fight me one-on-one!"

Yet Li Luo merely looked at him with the gaze one gives a fool.

Boom!

The next instant, the Guardian Spirits crashed in, and immediately a brutal battle erupted with the forces of Zhao Li Tianwang's line and Yanmodian.

At the same time, a flare of light shot skyward—the light took the form of a hundred beasts running, clearly visible in the sky for hundreds of miles around.

It was precisely the distress signal of Zhao Li Tianwang's line.

And at this moment, in various parts of the mountain forest, Zhao Li Tianwang's line was in the midst of an unstoppable advance. So when this signal appeared, it immediately shocked every team in the forest.

With such a great advantage, how could they be sending a distress signal?!
