Chapter 949: Luring the Thieves into the Valley

Through the mountain forest, a team of people darted past; as their resonant power surged and rubbed against the air, faint sonic booms were produced, and behind each of those figures, a thin mist of sonic booms formed.

This team was aggressive and filled with hidden murderous intent.

Among them were faces familiar to Li Luo: Zhao Shenjiang and Zhao Jingyu. However, they were not the leaders; the leader was a youth from the Zhao Heavenly King lineage named Zhao Fengxu. This person was of the same generation as Zhao Yan and currently possessed the strength of a Seven-Star Heavenly Pearl stage.

Besides those from the Zhao Heavenly King lineage, there were several helpers from the Flame Demon Hall, the strongest of whom had also reached the Six-Star Heavenly Pearl stage.

"The people of the Dragon Tooth lineage are in this direction. Judging by the time, they should still be entangled with the 'Guardian Spirits' right now. If we rush over at full speed, we will definitely arrive before they finish clearing them out. We can then seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, which will surely leave them unable to attend to both ends!" Zhao Jingyu’s face was full of excitement and ferocity. He hadn't expected to encounter Li Luo so soon, and at a time when Li Luo was in such a sorry state.

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

"Rest assured, this time the people of the Li Heavenly King lineage have fallen into this pit; if they don't pay a price, how could they possibly escape unscathed?" the leader, Zhao Fengxu, said with a smile.

Zhao Shenjiang gripped his heavy spear tightly, his eyes full of arrogance and cruelty: "If there is a chance, leave that Li Luo for me to deal with. Once I cripple the Dragon Head of this generation of the Li Heavenly King lineage, their geniuses of this generation will never be able to hold their heads up in front of our Zhao Heavenly King lineage again."

Regarding Zhao Shenjiang’s arrogant words, no one felt he was being conceited, because Zhao Shenjiang’s talent was not only dominant in this generation, but even the previous generation’s Zhao Yan was somewhat inferior to him. Given time, Zhao Shenjiang might not be unable to surpass the latter.

Zhao Fengxu nodded and said, "Later, leave that Li Luo for you to resolve, Shenjiang."

Afterward, the group increased their speed, and the trees moved rapidly backward around them. After a good while of this, a mountain valley appeared in the sight of Zhao Shenjiang and the others.

At this moment, violent sounds of energy bombardment were still continuously coming from within the valley, and waves of resonant power were shooting into the sky.

"They are indeed still entangled with the 'Guardian Spirits'." Seeing this, Zhao Fengxu could not help but show joy, then hurriedly waved his hand, moved his figure, and was the first to charge into the valley.

The others saw this and hesitated slightly, but in the end, they quickly followed. After all, even if there were no "Guardian Spirits," their numbers were greater than the other side's.

The group quickly rushed into the valley. The terrain inside was complex with deep vegetation. They shuttled through it for a while, only to be somewhat stunned to find that although the place was a mess, the figures of the Dragon Tooth lineage were nowhere to be seen.

And the "Guardian Spirits" also seemed to have no trace at all.

"What is going on?" someone asked in surprise.

Zhao Fengxu’s expression was also uncertain. He did not move forward further, but scanned the deathly silent valley and said in a deep voice, "Retreat first!"

Although he did not understand why the "Guardian Spirits" here had disappeared, this meant the Dragon Tooth lineage had already freed their hands. The enemy was in the dark while they were in the light; they had to be careful.

However, just as they moved to leave, everyone suddenly realized that the heaven and earth energy within the valley had suddenly become violently agitated.

"My friends, since you've already come, wouldn't it seem like our Dragon Tooth lineage is being a poor host if we don't leave you a limb or two?" At this moment, a laugh came from the mountain wall within the forest.

Zhao Fengxu, Zhao Shenjiang, and the others looked up abruptly and saw a group of people appearing in that direction, and the one speaking was none other than Li Luo.

"Go!"

Zhao Fengxu’s eyes were gloomy, but he didn't waste words with Li Luo; instead, he was the first to soar into the sky, attempting to leave the valley's range first.

But at this time, the people of the Dragon Tooth lineage all attacked at once, and massive energy whistled out, as if turning into layers of light curtains that covered the sky above the valley.

Zhao Fengxu and the others hurriedly channeled their attacks, attempting to break through, but they were delayed for this moment.

Li Luo looked smilingly at Zhao Fengxu and the others, who had sensed the crisis and were trying to flee frantically, and extended a finger to snap it in a stylish manner.

He detonated the fire primers he had buried underground earlier.

Boom!

At this moment, the valley suddenly shook as if a subterranean dragon were turning over. Massive and terrifying pillars of energy shot into the sky, directly causing the heaven and earth energy in this valley area to riot.

Everyone was terrified by the strength of this heaven and earth energy, their expressions changing drastically.

Even Li Fuling and the others were filled with horror.

They did not know that such vast heaven and earth energy was hidden beneath this valley, and most importantly, how did Li Luo trigger it?

But Li Luo had no time to enlighten them, because as the heaven and earth energy emerged and condensed, a large number of "Guardian Spirits" began to appear in mid-air.

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

Among them, there even appeared "Guardian Spirits" of the Seven-Star Heavenly Pearl stage!

Of course, along with the appearance of the "Guardian Spirits," there was also the "Resonant Spirit Golden Dew" that began to condense continuously in mid-air. The quantity made the eyes of Li Fuling, Li Fengyi, and the others shine with golden light.

But at this moment, no one dared to move, fearing that any movement would draw those "Guardian Spirits" over.

Zhao Fengxu and the others looked at those "Guardian Spirits" with dry mouths. How could they not realize now that they had been set up by the Dragon Tooth lineage? The other side had been waiting for them to enter this valley, then triggered this vast energy from unknown sources to form "Guardian Spirits" to intercept and kill them.

"Retreat slowly."

Zhao Fengxu lowered his voice, attempting to step back bit by bit.

But this was ultimately useless, because they were closer to the "Guardian Spirits" and were in the valley where the energy was erupting. So, the moment the "Guardian Spirits" appeared, they charged over in the next instant, right before their shocked and angry eyes.

"The others, block the enemy! Send the distress signal!" Zhao Fengxu roared.

Then he was the first to charge out. Seven brilliant Heavenly Pearls appeared behind him, frantically swallowing heaven and earth energy, and then he directly unleashed the Marquis-level Art he had cultivated. Suddenly, a gale blew in the world, and green winds swept up, turning into beast shadows in an attempt to block the "Guardian Spirits."

Zhao Shenjiang also gritted his teeth, staring viciously in Li Luo’s direction, and said grimly: "Li Luo, if you have the ability, don't play these tricks and have a real battle with me!"

However, Li Luo only looked at him with the gaze of someone caring for an idiot.

Boom!

The next moment, the Guardian Spirits arrived and immediately began to slaughter the team from the Zhao Heavenly King lineage and the Flame Demon Hall.

At the same time, a beam of light and flame shot into the sky. The light and flame took the form of a hundred beasts running, and it could be clearly seen in the sky for hundreds of miles.

It was the distress signal of the Zhao Heavenly King lineage.

At this time, in various parts of the mountain forest, the Zhao Heavenly King lineage was in the midst of a triumphant advance, so when this signal appeared, it immediately shocked the teams everywhere in the forest.

In such a dominant situation, how could they be calling for help?!
